About this apartment rental
Welcome to our beautiful condo, overlooking Ma’alaea Bay on the south side of Maui. Located in the oceanfront condo complex, Menehune Shores, it is only steps to the beach. Our condo is professionally designed and decorated, including everything to make your stay luxurious and comfortable.
The unobstructed views of Ma’alaea Bay are perfect for whale watching or enjoying a sunset cocktail on the lanai. Menehune Shores is in North Kihei, centrally located in one of South Maui’s most popular destinations. Its’ prime location offers convenient access to shopping, world renowned beaches, restaurants, activities, beautiful Wailea and historic Lahaina.
Luxury is the key word for this unit, as every detail has been meticulously thought of to enhance your experience here in paradise. From the moment you open the front door you are greeted with endless views of blue Pacific Ocean. When you lie down at night you are cocooned by high end linens. The constant breeze through the unit keeps it cool and quite nice throughout the day but if you prefer there’s air conditioning in the unit.
Our guests tell us that our kitchen is stocked better than theirs at home, which please us! We have provided quality cookware, dinnerware and drink ware, and all the little touches to make your stay relaxing. If you want to prepare meals you’ll have what you need. Kihei and Wailea have wonderful and diverse restaurants, including a fabulous Indian restaurant right on the property, otherwise.
Adjacent to the resort is the visitor center for whale sanctuary, created by Congress in 1992 to protect humpback whales and their habitat in Hawai’i. The sanctuary, which consists of the shallow waters surrounding the Hawaiian islands, constitutes one of the world’s most important humpback whale habitats. The visitor center offers an excellent opportunity to learn about marine life conservation. We feel privileged to have this visitor’s center right next door.
In front of the visitor center and the entire complex is the historic Ko’ie’ie Fish Pond, also known as The King’s Fish Pond, dating back to the 1500’s. According to local legend it was build by the Menehunes, known for their strength and ability, and said to have built the pond in just one evening. The adjacent beach, Kalepolepo, is loved by locals and visitors for its’ safe and shallow gentle surf, ideal for children and those who enjoy the calmness.
As you enter the complex, there is ample complimentary parking. Majestic palms, lush tropical foliage lead you to a beachfront swimming pool with large sun deck. The on site restaurant and lounge are conveniently located on the first floor, a popular place for sunset dining. There is a rooftop area with full kitchen and barbecues, ideal setting for your gatherings. And the good news: as our guest there is no added fee for using this rooftop facility. Just reserve the space and enjoy your 180 degree ocean views.
E komo mai. In true aloha spirit, we welcome you. Our home is your home and we are here to help you, have your time in Maui be the vacation of a lifetime.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the condo. Clean & well-furnished with ample space for a family of 3. Excellent location with direct beach access and a balcony to enjoy the sunset views. Friendly and responsive host. Tight parking spots but plenty of space during our stay end of June.

Excellent place to stay on Maui. Kitchen and other amenities were very well stocked and the location was fantastic. We felt very safe in the area and restaurants/entertainment were only a few minutes away.

This is an amazing place to stay! You cannot go wrong booking this condo. You would think a high end designer put it together - the decor is well thought out and in excellent shape. Lots of room for the two of us to be very comfortable, super comfy bed, stunning views, excellent kitchen with just about almost everything you may need to make meals. Great location central to most things. Nice beach, pool, etc. I can’t say enough good things. May was super responsive and kind too. We will definitely be back. Mahalo, May!

The condo was very clean and decorated beautifully! I really appreciated all the light switches being labeled. The location was quiet and the grounds were well kept. The beach on the grounds and adjacent were family friendly and clean. Close to restaurants and stores. I plan to book again in the future.

Amazing! First time to Maui and this condo has everything: ocean view, laundry, pool, calm ocean, beach, even a rooftop with grills! So convenient from airport and Kihei for shopping and food. The manager responds quickly every time and is very helpful. The condo itself is stocked with everything and more. Absolutely perfect

We would stay here again. The property was as described and had an amazing 2nd floor view. We ate on the lanai whenever we could. A/C was cold and cooled the condo down quickly. The bed was incredibly comfortable. The furniture in the living room, while still comfortable, was different from what is pictured on VRBO. It was a different couch and the lounge chair was replaced by two regular chairs. Kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed. The only negative experience came from an encounter with the handyman on the day of arrival. He let himself in while my wife was in the restroom and I was on the lanai. My wife walked out of the restroom to see a stranger in the condo. He was there to fix the lanai door but he should NOT have just walked in. That experience knocked the rating from a 5 to a 4. Overall, we had a great stay and the condo certainly was a comfortable oasis to return to after a day of exploring.

It is nice when the experience matches the description and the pictures. This condo did. Clean, attractive and fully stocked for our week’s stay. Beautiful unobstructed view of the ocean from the balcony. Good location close to numerous nice uncrowded beaches for swimming and snorkeling. Convenient to a variety of food options. Was our first time staying in this area of Maui, and this condo and Kihei will be our preferred location for any future stay.

The condo was exactly like it looks in the photos. The décor is bright and contemporary. The unit was spotless when we arrived, and the kitchen is well appointed. The bed is super-comfortable and there were plenty of towels. I would live there if I could! The view is lovely, being right on the water. The location is convenient to everything in the Kihei area. Communication with the owner was easy and prompt, and she made the process of checking in and out effortless.

My husband, aunt and I stayed at this beautiful condo for 10 days. We wish it had been longer! This condo is exactly as described and pictured but honestly, even more stunning in person! It was absolutely spotless upon our arrival and provided so many essentials that most rentals we’ve stayed at are missing, which we really appreciated. Our aunt slept on the sofa bed which worked out perfectly. She said it was very comfortable and the owner provides additional sheets, blanket and pillows! We all loved our having our coffee on the large balcony every morning, listening to the ocean waves below, taking in the magical view while my husband thoroughly enjoyed whale watching and spotted numerous whales every single day! One of my top priorities when searching for a rental was finding a condo located on a beach for our morning walks. I was so pleasantly surprised that the beach in front of this complex actually stretches for at least 2 miles! We stumbled upon several large turtles resting on the sand, which was such a treat, and one was sunning itself on the beach area right next to our building. We dined at so many fabulous restaurants in Wailea which is only a 15 minute drive from the condo. There’s an upscale shopping mall there as well! The location of this condo is perfect and loved that the condo complex was meticulously maintained as well. We look forward to reserving this beautiful condo again when we return to Maui! Thank you for an incredible stay!

Feb 23-28 2024. This condo was perfect for us! The decor was in my favorite beach colors - even the dishes/ coffee cups were a beautiful turquoise. The king bed was heavenly. The linens/ towels were exceptionally nice. Everything was in working order and very clean. The washer and dryer in the unit were helpful. We literally watched whales from the lanai. It was perfect for sunset!
All that being said, May was a super host! She communicated quickly and was very thoughtful. I wouldn't choose anyplace else if we are lucky enough to return.
Thank you May!

This is one of those rare properties in Hawaii that was built at a time when priceless locations were available. Yes, the overall building is dated, but our location was nicely updated. Being right on the beach, with a great lanai and near markets, resorts, and restaurants is a great plus. The roof patio available to all residents has a great view as well. Parking is very convenient.

Everything in the condo from the decor, furnishings and kitchen were very well put together. Furniture that's actually comfortable! A kitchen with nothing lacking and everything in perfect condition! We really appreciated the new beach chairs and umbrellas and we also enjoyed the rooftop dining. Great communication, lots of attention to detail and we would definitely stay again.

This unit is outstanding and May is a great host! The pictures are completely accurate. The kitchen is stocked so well that we were never searching for anything. The views of the ocean and mountains are stunning! You have great beach chairs to use and beach towels. We had other family staying in other units at this complex and our place (May’s) was by FAR the best one.

What an amazing place to stay. The place was clean, cozy and perfect for our trip to Kehei. We will be definitely staying in this place again.

We had a very nice stay at the condo, which was clean and comfortable. There wasn't a great amount of storage for more than 2 people, but adequate for a couple. The view was lovely and we enjoyed sitting on the deck. The pool was busy and quite small and for sun we walked down to the beach, which was next to the property. There is no beach in front of the condo, but on the windy days I took the nice beach chairs and sat on the lawn by the pool. I appreciated having new beach chairs, as many condos do not provide them. It was a lovely few days on Maui and I believe vacationers would enjoy staying at this condo.

Everything about this unit was perfect - decor, cleanliness, the building, check-in/check-out kitchen equipment, AC, and of course let's not forget the sunsets we watched from the lanai!
Perfect home away from home.

Condo was beautiful and was in a great location. It was well equipped and had everything we needed. It was close to a lot of great restaurants and the beach was very nice. It was great to see the turtles that came into the rock area to rest.

We loved everything about this beautiful condo. We had just left the Fairmont Resort and worried were we going to be disappointed after leaving the newly remodeled suites. This condo was decorated better then the Fairmont. Beautiful decorating and the views from the lanai were spectacular!!
The icing on the cake was that the giant sea turtles like to nap in the cove outside the complex each night. We would go down around 5 pm each day and watch them float in and sun themselves on the rocks.
This is a great location and so serene. We did not go out at night as we liked to watch the turtles and the sunset and have Happy Hour here.
Beautiful, beautiful. We loved it!

We loved staying here. It was right in the heart of ALL of the excursions that we did, which meant we were always a quick drive away. Bonus that we were right on the beach and could very easily walk down with the chairs they provided and relax. The property was exactly as pictured. I would recommend this unit to anyone looking to go to Maui!

My fiancée and I’s stay at Azure Bay was very enjoyable! The condo was very clean and we really enjoyed all the fresh decor and amenities (especially the new washer and dryer). Bed and pillows were also super comfortable. We also really liked that the condo came equipped with beach chairs and umbrellas (all in good working condition). We got a lot of use out of those. We would definitely stay here again if we ever come back to Maui.

We came to Hawaii/ Maui, my first trip to the islands, so amazing, almost unreal! Everyone was so nice and this property is PERFECT. It’s a great location and the views are beautiful, the owner was so helpful in her recommendations. Highly recommended grilling on the rooftop lanai, it’s was so much fun, I would definitely stay here again! Thank you for your help, Aloha!

We really enjoyed staying at this condo during our time in Maui. It is beautifully updated. The lanai has an awesome view for sunsets, we saw sea turtles up close right at the beach on the property and it was a great location for all of our Maui adventures. There are many grills on property and the rooftop lanai that you can use. Owner is prompt and thorough with all information you need to have a wonderful stay. Would highly recommend.

Amazing views and a beautiful condo at Menehune Shores. This condo had everything we needed. The bedroom has a separate air conditioning unit, TV, ceiling fan, and a large, very comfortable bed. The living room has an air conditioner, ceiling fan, and large TV. The pull-out couch was very comfortable and easy to use. Plenty of linens were provided. The condo included many useful amenities. There were beach chairs and accessories that were very useful. The pictures and description were accurate. The condo is right on the water.
The owner, May, was very responsive and able to answer all of our questions. We loved this location and have already recommended this condo to several friends.

Beautiful location with clean and comfortable accommodations. The kitchen was well stocked with spices and cookware. Our favorite spots were sitting on the lanai for all our meals watching the spectacular sunsets and visiting the turtle sanctuary on the beach below.
The condo is just above the Monsoon restaurant and we could smell the heavenly aromas and highly recommend their food.
The owner May, was very responsive to my requests and went above and beyond to make our arrival and departure a breeze. This trip made Mother's Day special for me and my 84 year old mother.
Mahalo!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in May’s condo! It is beautifully decorated, has everything you would need for your stay, has amazing views (especially at sunset), super comfy bed and located in a perfect spot to visit all of Maui! We also thoroughly enjoyed the Menehune Shores complex. Grounds are meticulously kept, the pool is amazing, and we saw turtles resting on the beach area and rock wall every day! Many restaurants and shops within a few minutes drive. We will definitely look to stay here when visiting Maui again!

This condo has attractive decor, comfortable furnishings, including the bed, and well equipped kitchen. It is located in a condo complex with a very good restaurant. The whole property is very well maintained. Centrally located in Kihei, but not too close to the touristy area. Short drive to Wailea, airport, as well as 30-40 minutes from Lahaina and West Maui resorts and activities. The bonus is the turtle "sanctuary" that you can walk out to and view turtles that are sheltering and that are monitored by volunteers. The stretch of beach immediately in front is not as blue as the rest of the island but walking left or right of the property on miles of beach will lead you to great swimming and snorkeling.

Great location and views. Couldn’t get any closer to the ocean. Unit was extremely well stocked with all you would need.
