About this apartment rental

"Aloha Kai" Completely Renovated 2-bedroom (King Bed in each) Oceanfront at Menehune Shores with A/C in every room (hard to find). Many of these condos have no A/C or just one mini-split in family room.

Fantastic 6th Floor Ocean Views!! Pack your suit...Aloha Kai has everything else you'll need to enjoy your Maui vacation!

This beautifully renovated upscale unit is located in South Kihei at Menehune Shores, on Kalepolepo Beach and next to the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary (bring your binoculars during whale season). Truly oceanfront with miles of beaches to explore (Kalepolepo, Waipuilani and Sugar Beach). Kekei (children) can enjoy the shallow and protected wading area near the ancient Hawaiian sea wall and watch turtles come to lay on the rock walls each evening. This quiet condo is located just minutes away from fantastic food, shopping, and the hustle and bustle of downtown Kihei.

New for 2021: Completely Remodeled, no expense spared. Premiere property is highly maintained and obsessively clean! You won't find another unit like this in the building; Air Conditioning in EVERY room (rare), a reconfigured floor-plan that maximizes views and entertaining space, clothing washer & dryer, wood plank ceramic tile (no carpet) and ceiling fans in every room. No dust collecting in corners or hiding behind decor here, this unit is extremely clean and fresh for every guest, every time.

Never miss a Maui sunset when you are staying at Aloha Kai. The patio & master bedroom have breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and the West Maui Mountains. The ocean views and sunsets from the unit are truly magnificent.

A 2-Bedroom, 2-Bathroom Unit consisting of a Kitchen, Great Room, Main King-Bedroom with bathroom en-suite and a 2nd Bedroom with King-Bed, Twin-size Murphy Bed and its own separate bathroom.

Enjoy the rooftop BBQ's and seating with a 360 degree view of the ocean and mountains, or perhaps you'd rather cook in our fully equipped kitchen. Whatever your needs, Aloha Kai has it. Just bring your suits, we have the rest waiting for your Maui getaway.

Aloha Kai is on the 6th floor of the building, near an elevator.

Fully equipped kitchen, free high speed wifi, 2 Smart TVs, Pack and Play and booster seat/high chair, books, toys and games for our littlest guests. All WHITE hotel quality linens and beach towels included.

The unit has a wonderful cross breeze but if you prefer A/C, the unit has a 3 zone Split system. A/C in main living area and in each bedroom. Air Conditioning is rare in these units! Ceiling fans are in every room.

Menehune Shores is a well maintained property that features lush landscape, perfectly kept lawn areas with two shuffleboard lanes, a large heated swimming pool and barbecue areas both near beach and pool as well as a rooftop Lanai. "Monsoon" Indian Restaurant located at ground floor (and is quite good and a wonderful place to have a sunset dinner).

We chose Menehune Shores for it's amazing view, but also for its' central location. Staying in Kihei will allow you to enjoy so many of Maui's offerings...you are in the middle of it all. Head upcountry where the vistas seem to go on forever, take a snorkel cruise from Ma'alea Harbor, or pack a picnic and take the road to Hana to hike and explore waterfalls for the bamboo forest. It's all just a short drive away.

Please note that Menehune Shores is a non smoking property and is pet free. There is a designated smoking area on the ground floor.

The roof-top Lanai is a great place to cook outdoors on our gas grills and dining tables. From this rooftop you have a spectacular panoramic view of the ocean, upcountry of Haleakala, West Maui Mountains, the island of Kaho'olawe, and the Molokini Island Crater. This is also a great place to watch the Humpback whales during the season. Whale Watching in Maui is November - May, with the majority of whales January - March, February being peak season.

Please note during peak season per HOA rules, one car is permitted per unit. Dec 14th - March 30th.

We named our family home "Aloha Kai" which means love of ocean. A deep love and respect of the ocean is what brought us to Menehune Shores. We invite you to be part of our Ohana (family). We look forward to sharing our home with you and hope that you make long lasting memories with your loved ones here on the island of Maui.

Beach chairs and snorkel gear are not included in rental, although we do have an ever-changing collection of sand toys and boogie boards left by our wonderful guests. We can not guarantee what will be there at the time of your stay.

Kalepolepo Beach (excerpt from Maui Guide Book):

A small but lovely beach in North Kihei. This was the historical site of a thriving Hawaiian village, and is an important cultural archeological site for native Hawaiians. A portion of Kalepolepo Beach is the location of the ancient Hawaiian fish pond (Ko'ie'ie fishpond, one of three in the area) its walls protect the beach creating a calm shallow pool that is also perfect for keiki (children) or adults who prefer smooth waters.

In the late afternoons turtles often swim up onto the protected beach or on the seawall to rest for the night, swimming out the next morning. This gives daily opportunities to snorkel near and photograph these amazing creatures. Please remember to enjoy the turtles from a distance.

For more island excitement there is a nearby Canoe Club that will take you on a wonderful experience of a six man outrigger canoe ride.

Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary:
Located in Kihei on the south shore of Maui, the visitor center is an ideal spot to learn about the marine environment and even see humpback whales breaching. This scenic beachfront location at the foot of Haleakala has views of Kaho'olawe, Lana'i and West Maui looking across the waters of the sanctuary.
Recently renovated, the visitor center currently showcases temporary exhibits, while permanent exhibits are still being planned for the future.

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.

Everything with this place is exactly as described. We enjoyed our stay here, and with the full size twin Murphy bed, it allowed my 1 of my 3 adult children to sleep on a real mattress instead of a sofa bed. I would stay here again.

This unit has been fully renovated with all the latest updates. The kitchen and baths were luxurious. Both bedrooms have king beds too! It was great having both an ocean view and pool view. We were steps away from both. Being on the top floor of the building provided great sunrise and sunset views. The unit is within short driving distance to many shops and restaurants. We would return without hesitation. Enjoyed every single minute.

We enjoyed our stay and it had a beautiful view! The condo was clean upon arrival. The condo itself and view were amazing! We were not crazy about the beach area at this condo. The water looked dirty and it just wasn’t as pretty & blue as other areas in Maui. It wasn’t an issue though as we rented a jeep with intentions of going to many beaches while there. We would definitely stay here again!

The four of us, two couples, booked this unit for our 40th anniversaries... and it was wonderful! We had an ocean view from the balcony, where we enjoyed coffee every morning and relaxed every night. The access to the beach was great (and we really appreciated the handrails as my husband is a stroke survivor) and the beach was perfect for us. The location was ideal for quick drives to stores or restaurants (when we wanted to eat out). Most everyone we met on property, guests or resident, was very friendly and helpful. The ONLY issue we had was the pool gate code had been changed (apparently this is done often and randomly, which we could understand why) and the office personnel would not tell us the new one. She just said "your host should have emailed it to you". However, other people saw we were staying there and they helped us out with it. We HIGHLY recommend this little slice of paradise... so much so that we're looking forward to going back in the future.

Amazing trip at a wonderful location. This condo was in a perfect spot to access everything in Maui. The condo was clean, very quiet and had an amazing view of the ocean. The property owners were easy to communicate with and provided great recommendations around the island. We would definitely stay here again. Mahalo for a great trip!
