It was a girls getaway myself and my niece. The condo two bedroom and two bathrooms Oceanfront. good couch,and chairs. definitelyneeds mattresses very very uncomfortable, bedroom curtains and living room curtains They look like they’re from the 1980s very worn bright white every morning you’ll wake up between 530 and 6 AM like if a flood light came on in your room the bedsheets were dirty. I pulled the blanket back and found a lots of hair on my sheets. The sheets are so worn and thin with old blood stains. The pillows are horrible. I went to the closet to get new bed linen not any better smelly and dirty that’s how I spend my first day is cleaning washing the bed comforters that were more brighter color and clean, when I was done with all that the first day there doing all this work.I was barefooted inside only an hour into my cleaning I looked at my feet and they were black as night. The floors are just being vacuumed. I believe tile floors, not being washed at all. It needs a deep cleaning of the floors.The curtains in the hallways are thicker than the bedrooms and the living room. curtains are not that expensive you could go on Amazon and get curtains for the living room and both bedrooms for a low price so you could sleep in a little on vacation, and that was not happening at all. In both bathrooms, no extra toilet paper but one roll that was already used for eight nights, as for the kitchen, no paper towels but a half of roll.Would not rent this place again.
Loved the pool and the turtle pond. View was outstanding.
We had an amazing time here. We have stayed in M:Shores before, and I love how quick response and communication with property owner has been. We were able to check out later, which was amazing. Thank you for chairs, coolers, and will stay here again.
My family really enjoyed staying here! Access to town and the beach was the best. Had so much fun! Would book again. There were a few little quirks but nothing that would stop us from staying here again. The only issue I want to mention was was trying to get the office to get our parking pass between the hours of 9am-2pm but was able to talk to the parking enforcer and avoid any issues. But I heard the process might change to make it better. The manager of the property communicated wonderfully through the Vrbo app. Really enjoyed our stay. Wish I would be there right now!
We returned to where my MIL went with her hubby for many years. Tranquil location, walked to the beach everyday. Sunsets from the roof, including some conch shell rituals and bbq, if the wind is calm. Lanai view of the sunrise and sunsets, the full moon was behind us and it was huge. We rented a car and explored much of the island. Kitchen was well stocked with anything you might need. Tile floors difficult to keep clean in such a sandy environment, bring slippers. An umbrella and three well-used beach chairs for use, be careful of the wind gusts. Grateful for the carts by each elevator; we had groceries delivered for convenience after long travel day.
This location is hard to beat- right on the beach, great beach walking and wading and the grounds are beautifully maintained. The unit itself was comfortable though it could benefit from some upgrades (kitchen, bath, bedding) but all in all, we enjoyed our stay.
Absolutely loved everything about this vacation ! Condo had everything we needed from the kitchen to the beach gear ! Loved the parking - it was easy. The elevators were not an issue. The grills outside were awesome and clean.
We stayed here for a week with 2 kids (7 and 9), and it was overall a wonderful experience.
PROS:
Location - excellent proximity to beach and a short drive to all the action/beaches in Kihei. The rock reef right outside the property had turtles we could see each morning!
Pool was very warm, very clean, and the kids LOVED it!
Kitchen was very well-stocked and had everything we needed (and more!)
Very comfy beds, nice linens, good storage, and individual AC units in each bedroom
Excellent communication with property manager. Very responsive and helpful.
CONS:
Updated/outdated - it was definitely an older property, and nice updates have been made, but it felt a bit haphazard (ex: concrete walls mean that all conduit for AC is run on the outside of the walls. ex: bathrooms have nice tiled showers, but old tub and 1970s trash can. ex: multiple different tiles instead of one cohesive look.) None of this impacted how much we thoroughly enjoyed the place, but if you're looking for fully updated and "new", this wouldn't be the unit.
Floors - I'm sure the logistics of keeping tile floors clean at the beach is difficult, but our feet were filthy if we didn't wear socks or flip flops in the unit.
The walkway/ramp into the parking lot (from the side elevator) had a very "hidden" curb because of how it was tiled. I tripped off this and sprained my ankle and bruised my knee very badly. It could have been much worse, but please use caution with this ramp!
We loved staying here. The view was spectacular. This was a great option for us for our stay on Maui. The condo is well appointed. Communication was quick and easy. There are great restaurants within a 5 minute drive and the beach outside the condo area is great. We didn’t use the pool but it wasn’t crowded when we walked by a few times. The Indian restaurant smelled great but permeated some in the elevator and sometimes, the external hallway. We would stay here again.
My family stayed in this lovely unit for a week. Everything went very smoothly. The turtles on the beaches out front were definitely a highlight! the rooftop grilling was great except for the wind we had but that just mother nature! The only thing I wish the unit had more of was beach items ( better chairs, an umbrella) but that's okay. We really enjoyed our stay and the lanai was wonderful. The location was great, so close to many things on the Island.
This was a very nice property with a beautiful view. Will definitely rent again
The Menehune was a perfect location and setting for our small family group. The accommodations were exactly what we needed and beach access was great. We really enjoyed our stay and recommend the condo to everyone. Mahalo!
