About this property

Oceanfront Penthouse Condominium Spectacular Beachfront View

This Menehune Shores Condo is unit #620 and is an oceanfront/oceanview penthouse, which has 885 square feet with two bedrooms and two baths. The master bedroom is on the oceanside of the building and has a King-size bed. The second bedroom has a Queen bed plus a pull out twin and there is a sofa bed in the living room. Towels and linens are provided. Since it is a penthouse condo, it has higher ceilings (than the lower units) which provides a very spacious feeling.

The kitchen has all the amenities including microwave, cookware, coffeemaker, and dishwasher. The dining area is between the kitchen and the living room. For your entertainment there is a 55 -inch LED TV with cable and Blue Ray & DVD player in the living room. There is also a 40 inch LCD TV with Cable in the master bedroom and a 32" LCD TV with wifi in the second bedroom. There is a 3.8 cubic ft. washer and 5.9 cubic ft. dryer in the unit for your convenience. There is a wonderful ocean breeze most of the time due to being on the top floor and direct ocean front, for this reason air conditioning is not available in this unit. All rooms have ceiling fans and there a several standing fans for your use in the unit.

There is a spectacular view of the ocean and shoreline from the lanai (outside balcony). The view includes the southwestern slopes of Haleakala Crater, three islands, and possibly humpback whales swimming along Maui’s western coast between the months of December and May.

The grounds at Menehune Shores are well kept and the complex has elevators and a roof-top access that is complete with barbecues, picnic tables, and lounge chairs providing a wonderful sunset view. The solar heated, oceanside pool has an additional seaside barbecue area and is adjacent to the ancient Hawaiian fish pond which forms a great protected swim and snorkel opportunity.

The Hawaiian Humpback Whale Sanctuary is our immediate neighbor and information on the seasonal whale population can be obtained there. It is also a great place to view the leaping, blowing mammals that visit us each year to give birth in the warm waters and turtles that rest on the beaches and rocks.

This beautiful condo is centrally located for easy access to all activities on the 'Valley Isle'. The front yard is six miles of pristine beach to swim, run, walk and explore, true Maui style. There are six world-class golf courses a short drive from Menehune Shores. The Pacific Ocean Center Aquarium, where you can view the ocean's inhabitants through a walk-through glass tunnel, is a few minutes up the road on the way to the old whaling port of Lahaina. The exclusive hotels and shops of Wailea are just south of Kihei.

You will find a stay in this condo to be a better value and more relaxed than in an expensive hotel with crowds. Please see our calendar for available dates.

The owners chosen property manager on Maui will be available to handle any issues you have with the property . Should you have any needs while in the condo they are moments away to assist you. Their contact information will be available to you upon booking.

Magic location, everything you need
We spent 6 days here in July. Plenty of space for a family of 4 with older kids. Hired a car at the airport and found it pretty easily. Picked Kihei because of the central location - easy to explore both halves of the island from here. Awesome spot! Top floor views over a beautifully kept grassland to a lovely sandy beach, fishing pool, and swimming pool on the other side of the building. Weather was great. The wind would come up in the afternoon, and then settle again for a peaceful sunset. Walking into the flat is a little like walking into the past - in a good way! It's old fashioned Island style decor, a little kitschy but kind of delightful. And it has so much going for it. I can't think of anything we needed that it didn't have. The kitchen was fully stocked, every gadget and pantry staple on hand, and you'd be hard pressed to ever run out of spices! The appliances were to die for, better than I have at home. Washing powder, beach towels, umbrella, heaps of stuff for younger kids for beach going. Not many shops are actually within walking distance, but everything is just 5 mins away in the car. There is an interesting looking Indian restaurant downstairs which we didn't get to try out. All in all, so glad we found this place. You get the idea it's the owners' pride and joy, and we loved the opportunity to holiday here.

Great Condo
The condo has a world class view that we enjoyed on the lanai. The condo is decorated beautifully and is very well stocked. The kitchen has everything you need. The property is well landscaped and has a great pool and outside grills for cookouts. The rooftop has gas grills, tables and an incredible view. The only complaint we had was that we weren’t informed that the pool was going to be closed the week of our stay. That lack of communication was a concern.

Beautiful Views and Centrally Located
My family really enjoyed staying here. The views from the lanai are really nice, property is very quiet and feels secluded and the beach was great for morning and evening walks. The location also worked out well for trips to Haleakala, road to Hana, and beaches to the south and west. The rooftop bbq area was also really nice for sunsets. I’ll also mention that we were just fine with no AC. It was about low 80s during the day and the winds picked up in the afternoon so that kept the apartment cool. Just as a tip for future visitors: Ulua beach is a great spot for snorkeling in the early morning. It’s only about a 15 minute drive away and the fish are so close to shore, you can seen them by just walking over to them.

perfect vacation getaway
My family and I had a wonderful time. The condo was centrally located, the grounds were stunning and the views from the condo are top notch. Sitting out on the lanai and waking up to the sunrise was so peaceful. Having two small kids being in such close proximity to the beach was great. The condo itself had everything we needed and when questions came up, Christine readily responded. We did have an issue with the washer which was resolved within a couple hours - the on-island support was very helpful and responsive! We would love to return!

Everything we needed and more.
We loved the location and the condo has everything one needs. Seriously, it had everything from spices and condiments to food storage containers and a cooler with icepacks. The unit was conveniently near the elevator but still quiet and there was plenty of parking. Overall the experience of having a beach and sunset in your backyard was worth it! The sea turtles lounge all day on the fish pond rocks and they are amazing to watch too.

Amazing Maui trip
This property was perfect for my family for our week in Maui. The location was just perfect & the complex was very welcoming and quiet. A pretty much secluded beach area. The condo was fully stocked with whatever one might need. View is amazing & rooftop view is awesome. Cleanest BBQ grills I have ever seen. Highly recommend! Mahalo!

Lovely place that had mostly anything you needed or wanted. The best ocean view I have ever seen. I wish there were heavier curtains, to sleep better, but the bed was very comfortable.

Beautiful condo and awesome location
This condo was amazing. We were on the sixth floor and had access to a rooftop with the most breathtaking views. There were grills if we wanted to barbecue. We overlooked the ocean and could hear the ocean waves all day and all night. Place was well stocked and clean. The owner was awesome. We had no issues whatsoever. The owner checked in to make sure everything was going great. I would definitely stay here again. Parking was very easy and we never had a problem finding a spot. The condo was close to stores and restaurants and shopping.

Great location, great view
We had a great stay at this property, the condo is in a great location. We saw turtles everyday on the beach right next to the condo and it was a highlight of the trip! The view from the condo was spectacular! The condo had everything we needed including a baby pack-n-play and sheets. Chris was very helpful and gave awesome recommendations for restaurants and things to do. It was hot the first night we were there but once the windows had been open for awhile it cooled down and was comfortable.

We were in Maui when the wild fire started, Christine was kind enough to let us in one day ahead so we could leave west Maui (North of Lahaina). We loved the place, it was perfect for our family of 4. Peace and respect for the people of Maui who lived something terrible on Aug 8th 2023.

Fantastic beach access & wonderful hosts
This condo's access to a calm, kid-friendly beach was unbeatable. We walked down to the beach by 7am every morning and our kids were safe to jump in the tiny waves. The water was calm enough right out of our door to paddle board and visit the turtles each morning. The condo had everything we needed (and more!) to hang out on the beach each day and come back and make meals at night. The kitchen was very well stocked, the closets full of beach gear, and the beds were comfortable for resting. The condo complex was very easy to find and use. Our hosts were incredibly accommodating during the natural disasters (fire, gale winds and far-off hurricane), we felt very fortunate to have such considerate hosts. Mahalo!

Could stare at the view all day
This was our first time in Hawaii. I had certain criteria in order to book a place. 1. Oceanfront where I could sit on the lanai and watch and listen to the waves. ✅ 2. Have separate beds for the kids. ✅ 3. Have a washer/dryer. ✅ 4. Have comfortable lanai furniture to enjoy the outside. ✅. 5. Be priced at a reasonable rate. ✅ 6. Have AC. I got 5/6 checked off my list. I found that every morning and every evening, we would be sitting on the lanai, people watching and just watching the waves crash into the sand. The location was in a great spot and the grounds crew kept the place looking nice. The fridge was very bear so make sure you stock up on the items you need for your stay. There was a couple dry items but nothing we used. The kitchen had everything we needed even though we ate out at least once a day. It was nice to use the oven when needed. There was tinfoil and ziplock bags to use. Here is my one and only negative and it has nothing to do with the owner. The nights were almost too warm for us. We left all the windows/sliders fans open/on and left the front door open until it was time for bed but the master was still too warm. The last night we finally got the cross breeze that was discussed on other reviews. But for late July early August it was too hot. It would cool down about 2-3am. If we go back to Maui that time of year again, we would probably pick a place with AC. Chris is a great host and this is a nice place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Cernik

Host profile image
I have owned the condo since 2011 after having travelled the world. Maui was supposed to have been our retirement home, until life took another turn. I now enjoy visiting Maui as a working vacation. I take pride in keeping the condo update and well supplied for my guests.

Why they chose this property

When we bought the property in June of 2011, I wanted to make it tropical and homey. I outfitted the kitchen as I would of if I was living there, and I love to cook, so I am constantly buying new items for the condo. We have collected a wide variety of staples that reside in the condo. We like to encourage our guests to use them and feel free to leave your leftovers for the next guest.

What makes this property unique

I provide a well supplied condo. Most guests comment that they have never stayed at a vacation condo that is so well supplied. I have every kitchen gadget that I could find and stock lots of the basic supplies like spices, baggies, aluminium foil, dishes, pots and pans, ect. If someone tell me that they didn't have something they needed, it will soon be there!
