Rental Details
Property Overview
Our top floor penthouse suite was remodeled just before we purchased it in 2014 to provide you with exceptional value, comfort and location!
We bought this unit for the location, view, the remodel, the large size, two bedrooms with their own bathrooms, and on a single level (no loft!) The location, view and each bedroom having it's own bathroom are the most noticed comments in our reviews, in addition to being clean and well maintained. If you are staying in Kihei, there are three beaches that are great for swimming - kam I, II and III -and they all have life guards. We are directly across the street from Kam II and III. There are only a few vacation rental properties actually on the beach in Kihei and they are typically 2x the price per night. Besides being across from the beaches, we are easy walking distance to the shops and restaurants.
Perhaps you have heard of "bill 9" that would phase out Maui vacation rentals. This does not take affect for our property until January 2031 (that is if the multiple lawsuits are not successful). So do not be concerned about your reservations.
Every room has a sculpted high ceiling with recessed lighting and ceiling fans in every room (7 total). There are two bedroom suites - each with it's separate bathroom. There are two air conditioners, top of the line appliances, granite counter top in the kitchen, tile floor throughout, Hawaiian rug in living rooming,, two large flat screen HDTV'S - living room set 65" LED smart TV circa 2023 . Lanai furniture replaced in 2019. Dining table replaced in 2020. Stove and AC replaced 2025. We take pride in offering you a fresh, exceptionally clean condo with upgraded linens and furnishings. The master bedroom has a California King mattress, and the second bedroom suite has a high quality queen bed.. Much nicer mattresses than most vacation rentals. Ideally set up for two couples or a family with children (we have a pack n Play). So our maximum guests of 4 is four adults with flexibility on young children (we do not allow sleeping on the couches).
Our Penthouse features stunning panoramic ocean views and breath taking sunset views. The suite is located on the top floor (5th) of the building (building B (unit B507) - which is NOT right on busy S. Keihei Road). It is cozy and comfortable and a great place to spend your vacation. This is the only penthouse unit at Haleakala Shores to have insulated and finished ceilings to help keep the unit cool. The suite has lots of windows and is airy and light. Kamaole Beaches II/III (2 of the best beaches on Maui) are all located across the street from this great location. There are many other beaches within walking distance (Kamaole Beach I, Charlie Young and Cove Beach). You can walk back and forth from your convenient Penthouse suite to the beach all day long without having to use a vehicle.
Upgraded internet - 20 mb upload, 400 Mb download. Work from the Lanai! Wireless printer is in the desk in the bedroom.
Our suite has an open floor plan with 16' vaulted ceilings, 1,150 plus square feet, with plentiful windows, abundant sunlight along with refreshing breezes. The living room is the center of the suite and a great area to enjoy playing games, reading or watching your large wall-mounted HDTV. Make yourself at home and relax in the upgraded furniture while enjoying the surrounding artwork including a beautiful Hawaiian rug, turtles on the wall, and other tropical scenes which provides a touch of the local ambiance. This central hub of the suite provides a great place for bonding and making memories of a lifetime.
Haleakala Shores is one of the original condominium complexes in South Kihei. It is well maintained and has a unique architectural design with an elevated "bridge" tropical walk way system between the North and South units. Each unit has it's own "bridge" to your door. Construction is all concrete and masonry so you will not here anything through walls or the floor.
This two bedroom, two bath suite sleeps four guests and the beds are very comfortable. The bedrooms are located on opposite sides of the living room, with a separate bathroom in each bedroom suite, providing great separation for privacy. The master bedroom comes complete with a very comfortable California King-size pillow top mattress - not common for vacation rentals!. There is an ocean view from this room. The master bath has a large shower, built-in seat, grab bars and a pebble floor. The bathrooms have soft, clean upgraded towels. The second bedroom has an ocean view of its own. This room is elegantly furnished, lockable (actual solid doors-not a screen) and includes a comfortable Queen-size pillow top bed.
The "5th" person is for a small child that would use the pack n play be in the parents bed. The couches are not for sleeping.
There are beautiful new granite counter tops in the kitchen making this a fabulous place for cooking your vacation meals. The kitchen is well equipped with new top of the line cooking appliances. There is a variety of small appliances, cooking utensils, dishes, bowls, pots/pans, baking dishes, etc. available for your use. The dining area is conveniently located next to the kitchen and is furnished with a dining table and seating for four. There is a new washer and dryer located in the laundry closet next to the kitchen.
Enjoy our private pool area which is surrounded by lush tropical gardens, it is quiet and relaxing. You may spend some time by the pool swimming, relaxing and/or reading a book. After a long day on the beach you can grill your favorite meal on one of four gas barbecues. Assigned carport parking is conveniently located steps away from the elevator and the suite which provides for ease of unloading your belongings.
This is a non-smoking complex and no smoking is allowed in the Penthouse suite or on the lanai. No pets are allowed in the suite or the complex (yes, we cannot even bring our own little pooch!)
We have an on-island manager who lives minutes away from our complex. Our manager is available for any questions or concerns regarding your stay once you have arrived. The manager provides oversight of our housekeeping and maintenance staff so that any concerns that arise can be resolved immediately. Haleakala Shores has an on site manager as well.

We loved the location of this property and would stay here again. The only issues we had was with someone at a nearby property (not in the same building) who would yell out at all hours of the night and the elevator did not work for a day. The building had the elevator up and working by the next day. Did take away from having 5 stars across the board but not to the fault of the owners. The kitchen met all of our needs and was handy to have a washer and dryer for the week.
This was the perfect place for our family to stay during our trip. The condo was clean, comfortable, and felt like our home away from home. We loved that beach chairs, wagon, sand toys, umbrella, and beach towels were provided. That helped tremendously and allowed us to just enjoy our trip and not worry about purchasing chairs, etc once we got there. The location is perfect! Close to great family friendly beaches (with lifeguards), walking distance to shopping and restaurants, and easy access to major roadways. Great and quick communication from the owners - We are so thankful for this amazing VRBO!
Amazing location with sunset views from all of the rooms! Wow, what an incredible place to stay in Kihei literally steps from the ocean. The house is fully stocked with everything you need for the beach as well as to cook with in the kitchen. We really enjoyed the layout of this condo as the bedroom and bathrooms are completely separated. The 5th floor provides stunning ocean views and the AC and ceiling fans will definitely keep you cool during the hottest part of the day. Can’t wait to come back
We enjoyed our stay at the penthouse overall. The location was convenient, and the view was decent. The kitchen could use a few more essentials for cooking—it was missing quite a bit. We ran into a minor issue upon arrival, but the property manager responded quickly and resolved it. All in all, a good experience.
This unit was in a great location, steps from the beaches. 2 big rooms and living space, balcony overlookong the fields and beach. Was a great time and "home base" as we adventures all over the island. Recommend!
Great location! Owner was easy to communicate with and very helpful!
The location was ideal for our last few days in Maui.
Great location, fantastic views. Good space and the amenities were great.
Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful home
The condo was in a nice location - easy access to the beach. We did not use the pool or beach equipment but was nice to know it was available. The place was clean and beds comfortable. Nice that that there was laundry detergent, condiments, cooking spices, etc. The outside key box fell apart and couldn’t be reopened. Needs to be replaced. Contacted the building manager who responded very quickly. TV instructions need to be updated to match equipment. Husband works in television production and managing the TV channels, cable etc was a little confusing! Would stay again if lucky enough to get back to Maui!
It was a beautiful stay on a 5th floor unit with a gorgeous view of the ocean as shown in the listing. All is accurate as shown.
1st time to Maui - had 10 days to check it all out- the place was in a very central location & easy walk to restaurants & necessities.
Steve and Patricia were great hosts! Responsive to any questions asked. Very accommodating! Having the beach gear was fantastic. Across the street from two public beaches. Within walking distance to restaurants, shopping, groceries.
We really enjoyed our stay here. We were comfortable, and were supplied everything we needed, to start our week long stay. The location is great. Only a stroll to the beach and great restaurants.
We couldn’t ask for a more convenient location. Within walking distance to the beaches and to town. Very comfortable and a perfect setup for the two couple. Felt like being at home. Our hosts were very responsive to any requests. We had a wonderful vacation.Thank you.
We have been in Maui six of the last eight years during peak whale season and rented condos in four different groups. This one is in serious need of maintenance, cleaning, and attention to details. The details contained in the listing led us to believe the property and ocean view were better than observed. The kitchen counter tops and appliances were wonderful to look at and use. However, the counter tops hid everything. By that I mean, we couldn't tell when the last time the counters had been cleaned because we couldn't tell when we had. The pots, pans, and knives to prepare food were limited, lower quality, and/or in need of maintenance. The doors covering the washer/dryer were completely off the lower rail and difficult to use. The ceiling fan blades haven't been cleaned in a while. The walls near the ceiling fans haven't been cleaned in a while. When we arrived there was enough sand throughout the condo that we had to wipe our feet prior to getting into bed and we always remove our shoes at the door. There were some very nice ladies undies left from a previous guest in one of the dresser drawers. There were no boogie boards. There wasn't a cooler of any kind to use. There were mini bars of soap vs foam or liquid soap at all sinks. There were two rolls of TP for four guests for 16 nights. We donated our left-overs to one of the four less fortunate folks living in their vans below your lanai. We feel for the people of Maui. It is not as it was two years ago. Mahalo
Thank you for a great stay! We had two nights in Paia and then three at this lovely condo. The place was really clean and well stocked - everything from umbrellas to coffee filters. The patio was my favorite and my boys loved the pool. The location was great too. My young sons’ got their first snorkel in and got super comfortable body surfing in the water at Kam III. And just a short drive to the aquarium in one direction and Makena beach in the other. We would definitely come back.
What a great condo. Has everything you need. Spacious and clean. Thanks Steve for honoring the price from our 2019 pre covid booking. We could not get the toaster to work, and the lock on the sliding door to the lanai is broken. Just small things that need attention.
The owners and manager of this property responded as quick as they could to an AC issue that occurred upon our arrival. The owners reached out to our party for compensation however we declined understanding that things like this happen. It did take a few days and some interruptions keeping updated on repairs. The next visitors should enjoy their stay at this property.
My family and I had a wonderful stay. Plenty of room for all four of us. Close to town, and beach across the street. The condo was nicely stocked with kitchen items, ice packs for our cooler, four chairs, umbrellas, and a wagon. The owners were quick to respond to any communications.
Property was clean and close to the beach, restaurants, and shopping.Also whwn traveling around the island, the location was convenient to major roadways.
We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely condo in a wonderful location. It was a short walk to three beautiful beaches. We enjoyed watching the sunset from the beaches and nearby parks. Very easy access to everything we needed, such as restaurants and grocery stores. We were able to prepare some of our food in the well equipped kitchen and walk to nearby restaurants for dinners out. It was a great home basefor lots of fabulous adventures on the island. The property owner was very helpful and responsive. We appreciated the elevator as the property is on the fifth floor. We found that when we followed the recommendation to open up all the windows and turn on fans, it stayed nice and cool and we did not need the air conditioner. We appreciate the beach chairs and other beach equipment available tomorrow. Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely vacation home. Was.
Our family had a great stay in the condo. The location is convenient to both beaches and restaurants and we appreciated access to the beach equipment. There was good snorkeling right across the street at the end of the Cam 3 beach. Our family had plenty of space and the kitchen was well-appointed with everything we needed for cooking meals. We would definitely stay here again the next time we visit Maui.
Two members of our group were in a Hawaii for the first time! Your home made the trip special. Thank you so much.
Lovely Condo close to the beach:)
Great penthouse view and great location to multiple beaches and the rest of Kihei. Unfortunately, the pool was very dirty our entire stay. Cloudy water and sand on the bottom. It was never properly cleaned in the 2 weeks we were there. We contacted the property manager but the issue was never resolved and no follow up was made. Unfortunately we were unable to use the pool for our 2 week stay.
Quiet complex in an awesome location. So lovely to walk across the street to see the amazing sunsets each evening. The unit was spacious and well stocked with everything you could possibly need...plenty of towels, beach equipment, and well appointed kitchen. The location was a short stroll away from restaurants, shops, and activities. The comfortable space was loaded with windows and ceiling fans and the cross ventilation breeze was refreshing. Two A/C units are available if needed and are on timers which as a environmentalist I really appreciated. Less waisted energy and honestly we didn't really need them even on the very warm days. Steve was a wonderful host and I appreciate his willingness to accommodate me on short notice. I have stayed in Kihei several times and his penthouse is a favorite among gems!
The condo was perfect: clean, spacious , fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, great ventilation, sunset view from the lanai, lots of beach towels, toys and chairs, etc etc. GREAT location at Kam III & II, lots of shops and restaurants a short walk away. And Steve was one of the best host’s I’ve had in my decades of travel: a real person, has the place so well set up, quick to reply and generous with helpful suggestions. I absolutely recommend this stay and would certainly reserve again.
This property is centrally located in Kihei. I live in Makawao, Upcountry, but stayed in this roomy, open penthouse when my mother came to visit me from Texas. Took the advice of the owners to, rather than run the A/C units, enjoy the Maui breeze. If you open certain windows and utilize the many ceiling fans, a constant cool breeze circulates throughout the rooms. So refreshing! Also, the sunsets from the balcony are breathtaking. Could not have asked for better accommodations. breeze circulat
What an absolute perfect stay for my families first trip to Hawaii! Extremely clean, great communication, amazing views, perfect walk distance to the beach and restaurants! Couldnt have asked for a better place to stay!
Had such a time staying at this condo. Super convenient. Nothing to complain about the place. The only thing I suggest is maybe writing out somewhere that the AC and fans are ran off a timer. It took us a min to figure out how things like that worked. But thats just being picky. I'd def come back and stay there!
This was a lovely 2 bad 2 bad double master condo locate in South Kihei. We enjoyed sunset from the lanai as well as a spectacular one at Keawakapu Beach just a short drive away. S.Kihei is such a great place to stay. The condo had beach gear available and made the trip that much less stress. Steven was prompt with responses to questions and just note when arriving come in from the north most driveway to access the assigned parking.
Great location! Quiet complex. Lovely pool, never crowded. The condo is clean and the kitchen is well stocked. Air conditioning available when needed but nice cross ventilation on cool evenings and mornings. Beds were very comfortable. Beach supplies in outdoor closet were very useful. Seamless check-in. Dedicated parking space close to elevator. Highly recommend this rental!
We enjoyed our stay at this property. It’s a block to the beach and restaurants/ shops are just down the street. We would definitely stay there again.
Very well outfitted for kitchen supplies . Beds were comfy . Extra touches like TP, Paper Towels, lovely fluffy towels , soap & detergent all much appreciated ! It’s a lovely set up for 2 couples with ample room to spread out . We might suggest checking the dishwasher as it’s not not cleaning properly . We washed ours in the sink . We must add that having all the beach chairs etc was so appreciated ! Thank you for a wonderful holiday
The unit was clean, spacious, and a perfect set up for two couples as the bedrooms are on opposite sides. It was a great bonus to have beach chairs and an umbrella available. Right across from Kamaole point. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or stay again. Thank you Steven and Patricia!
The condo is spacious, clean, fully stocked and so comfortable! It’s a split floor plan with en suite full bathrooms in both bedrooms. Large living room with comfortable furniture, dining area and a great kitchen! The entire unit is tiled which is cleaner and easier to live on at the beach. The lanai is delightful! We had coffee, tea and breakfast out there every morning of our stay. This unit has it all including a bunch of beach gear, towels, umbrellas, etc. There are ac units which we only used occasionally because there are numerous ceiling fans and amazing breezes that keep the unit’s temperature perfect. A great stay, SO much better than a hotel!
Great location for our family with two young kids. Easy walk to the beach and plenty of room in the condo for us to relax after.
Nice accommodations and hope to come back!
We had such a wonderful time. Such a perfect place for our family of four. We were grateful for the snorkel fins as those didn't fit in our luggage, and for the fabulous location and beautiful views. Thank you!
Should check middle ceiling fan for no light -or just burnt out. Fan works. Needs to check rubber on back of living room patio door, as it won’t allow the door to seal. Open about half inch —a few bugs. Stove is temperamental - quite hot at times -even on lower settings. Otherwise great. I left a new frying pan there as well Catch you again perhaps
