This place is absolutely perfect for a family with little kids. They can run around on the lawn in front without getting in trouble. The little protected beach is also perfect for little ones since the waves never get big. The big beach is good for long walks. The patio with an unobstructed view of the ocean is great for morning coffee and afternoon drinks. We all had a wonderful time here.

I have rented this same unit multiple times. Jim is easy to work with and corresponds quickly to even my repeated questions. The location is great. The mornings in the fish pond drinking coffee and seeing turtles and a sunrise is only beat by gathering for the awesome sunsets right out front. We grill most nights and the grassy area is great for friends and family to enjoy the evening. The bigger kids can go over to the beach if they want a little space and it is all right there. The unit is easy and clean and everything is very comfortable. I think the mattresses are new this year as well. They are perfectly firm. We will be back again and again.

Perfect location for our stay. Property had everything we needed. Very comfortable. Would stay again.

Aloha…This ground floor Condo has the best view of the Ocean. I have made many beautiful memories through the years of my visits there… This time my visit was more therapeutic… The visit rejuvenated me… the beautiful view from the lanai… the sunsets, the sunrises, the moon shining over the water, the turtles bobbing up and down in the water early in the morning, the colorful canoes coming by… Other guests walking by and waving… saying Hi… It is a beautiful Condo for young and old…It is a wonderful place for active people ...or for people that just want to relax and enjoy the ambiance... It is very well stocked with everything you need and want ...not only for in the Condo, but also for taking with you to the beach! There are beautiful beaches on each side of the Condo. The Lagoon.in front, is a popular spot with families with children and snorkelers...There is an Indian Restaurant in the Complex that has wonderful food... In the 25 years that I have been going to Maui, this Condo, in my opinion, has the Best view in Kihei… Best view in Maui..... The owners Jim and Audrey are very gracious … Maholo 🏝️ Adriana

Our stay here was perfect. The condo was spacious, clean, stocked with everything we needed for our time at the beach. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

The condo was a great place for us to stay, especially because we had 3 littles who enjoyed the beautiful lawn right out of our Lanai, as well as morning walks along the shore to visit the turtles. The view from the Lanai and entire front room and kitchen are just breathtaking! Everything that we needed for our stay was there at the condo from kitchen items to sand toys and beach chairs, beach umbrellas etc. The entire process of renting the condo was a breeze. Any questions that we had about the condo were answered promptly. In addition, the condo is situated in an area where you can get to anywhere on the island. You can visit Lahaina, the Lavender Farm, Iao valley and be there in a short time. I highly recommend this condo to anyone who wishes to experience an enjoyable and relaxing stay in Maui. Mahalo!

This three bedroom unit was perfect for our family! Jim was super easy to work with, provided a lot of details about the condo and the surrounding area, and was very responsive to all our questions. The oceanfront view was amazing. The location, next to the fish pond, with so many turtles to see and the shallow swimming area was perfect for little ones. Our 4 year old granddaughter loved the humpback whale center and learned how to snorkel. The unit was well stocked with everything we needed, as well as beach toys and baby equipment (playpens, strollers, high chair) as an added bonus. I would highly recommend this unit for a relaxing family vacation.

Our family truly enjoyed our stay at Jim and Audrey’s home. Jim kindly welcomed us with very little notice, allowing us to relocate after the tragic Lahaina fire and West Maui power outages. We were grateful we could remain on Maui as respectful visitors, supporting local businesses and making donations to help the people of Maui. The condo is spacious, clean, comfortable and very well stocked. The A/C worked well when we needed it, but we preferred opening the slider and windows for the ocean breeze and listening to the surf. We absolutely loved the amazing view and the beautiful sunsets. We enjoyed swimming in the Kō‘ie‘ie Fishpond right in front of the condo. Every morning, we walked right off the lanai into the beach park to see the green sea turtles in their resting spots on the rock wall and sand. Friendly staff from the Marine Sanctuary Visitor Center (next door) told us all about the turtles and the local environment. The location in Kihei is central, making it easy to get to other areas of the island. It's also a short drive to supermarkets, great restaurants, shave ice, shopping and other beautiful beaches for snorkeling, etc. We would definitely stay in this condo again. Jim and Audrey, thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality.

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at Menehune Shores. The condo was clean, well stocked and located in a great location on the property. The grounds and pool are very well maintained . We enjoyed being able to swim and see sea turtles in the ancient hawaiian fish pond in front of the complex. We would definitely stay in this condo again.

We had an absolutely wonderful time in Jim and Audrey’s Maui home. The view when we entered is breathtaking. Being on the first floor is perfect to access all the outdoor activities just a few short steps away. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and we found there wasn’t anything that we wished we had or needed. Jim was so easy to communicate with before our trip and even during when we had a couple questions. We will most definitely return!

We are so grateful to have found this amazing condo back in 2018. We had a 3 generational family visit in 2019 (in-laws, us and kids) and returned again last week. What can I say? Location is perfect. Stroll out the slider onto the beach every morning to see the Turtles and fish. Amazing sunset every night. Plenty of space for living and sleeping. Attentive owner and on island manager. Washer and Dryer in unit. Beach chairs, boogie boards and toys. Close to amenities (food, shops, local swap meet, golf, etc). Short drive to Wailea. Easy drive to Lahaina. I would definitely recommend this unit 1000% of the time. Mahalo!

My family of 7 had plenty of room! The location was awesome!!! We saw turtles every morning on the beach. The pool was clean. The condo was everything the pictures show. Location in Kihei was nice. We walked downtown Lahaina and we all said that we were glad we didn’t stay there (too many people). I would recommend Costco and Safeway (sign up for the discount) to shop at for food. The only thing I would recommend is having some cleaning supplies (for the bathrooms). After spending 10 days there and 7 adults they could have used a little wiping down. Otherwise no complaints and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND staying here! Owners were great to work with and so was their house manager. We did have to contact her once about the sliding door and TV. They were there within a day and fixed the sliding door. Mahalo for sharing your home with my family!

The pictures on-line of this Condo are accurate-beautiful views and easy access to the water.it is centrally located and worked well for us to experience all parts of Maui. It was well equipped and is definitely set up to accommodate a large group. The closets are stocked with baby gear, beach toys, coolers and chairs. For our family of 4 the size was perfect, we utilized the well equipped kitchen,and our kids appreciated having their own bedrooms. If you like firm mattresses you will enjoy as they are in all 3 bedrooms. Make sure you visit the turtles right next door in front of the man-made rock barrier - really nice as you can walk around the calm water and get close up look at the fish and turtles.

This is an amazing place to stay! Ages in our group were: 50's, 30's, 20's and ages 4 & 6. We were there for eight nights and couldn't have been happier. The pool is a 30 second walk from the condo, as is the grilling area. The ocean is a few steps down and within throwing distance of the Turtle Resting area. There is a restaurant on site with the most amazing staff. The owners were unbelievably flexible with our schedule. I have already talked to my girlfriends and our travel couples about going back. It's everything we had hoped for - and more!

Amazing stay beautiful and convenient, Jim was amazing to work with

We had a great visit in Maui with this wonderful Vrbo paradise. We had 7 people from age 6 to 65 and it worked for us all. Plenty to do, easy access beach, pool, restaurant, laundry, lanai, you name it we loved it. Clean, comfortable and great views. Thank you for letting us stay in your families paradise home.

Ground floor right on the beach in a very convenient location for exploring west and south Maui. The condo accommodated 6 adults in comfort with needed amenities such as groceries nearby.

No issues with the place at all

The condo is in a great location in Kihei. We saw beautiful sunsets in the evening & enjoyed morning breakfasts out on our lanai—so calm & peaceful. We loved being on the first floor—it was amazing to walk right out into the yard, & so convenient for unloading. We loved having the little beach right outside & were dazzled by the turtles. The bedrooms were spacious & the A/C worked great at night. The kitchen was well-equipped & it was nice to have space to spread out. We were thankful for the washer & drier, especially at the end of our stay when we could do laundry before packing up. We also really appreciated the beach chairs & beach towels—it was nice to have those for the beach! There were drawbacks to the condo development, none of which Jim & Audrey could do anything about, but are things to be aware of. First, the pool is small & always very crowded. Parking was also a challenge if we got back after sunset. We struggled more than once to find a spot. Lastly, the restaurant in the condo development omits a strong odor, so be prepared for that. Again, these aren’t things they can change & wouldn’t deter us from staying again. We had a great experience start to finish with—great communication beforehand, including lots of tips on things to do. Check in & check out were easy as can be. By the end of our week on Maui, it truly felt like home & we were sad to leave to move on to the Big Island. We would stay here again in a heartbeat if we ever make a return trip to Maui!

We had a wonderful time at this condo. Waking up each day with the water view directly in front of us was amazing. Letting the kids run down to the beach and watching them swim without even leaving the patio was wonderful. The most special part we’re the turtles. Instead of searching all of Maui for turtles, they were on the beach each morning! We also were surprised at the amazing restaurant on site! Kihei is also very conveniently located so overall, this was a perfect stay for our family!

We wanted to take our son to Maui on his senior spring break and the trip did not disappoint at all. The location of this property is great as there are a ton of beaches close by that are amazing for looking at wildlife. There are beaches right out the back door but it’s hard to snorkel as the water isn’t as clear BUT the number of turtles you will see on the rocks each morning is amazing!! We did have some issues with the water and the hot water heater had to get replaced when we were there but I will say Cindy, the local contact was fantastic. She answered within minutes, and found someone to fix that day which isn’t common when you are on island time. I was very grateful for her. She even checked on us the next day to make sure all was working correctly.

Perfect for a home for a family of 6. First day we saw whales from back patio. Second day we swam with the turtles in ocean area in the backyard. About 30 minutes away from anywhere you want to go. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city so when your at the house you are secluded on the tropical paradise. Owners are very responsive and helpful. We would definitely return. Thank you Speth family.

Nice roof top access to watch sunrise/sunset.

This condo was perfect for our stay, our 3 Grandsons loved playing on the grass which was right off the patio. We could see whales breaching and beautiful sunsets from the patio. The condo was clean and well equipped. All rooms have A/C available when you need it, but the breeze from one end of the condo felt great and usually no A/C was needed. We had other relatives staying in a condo above us and they had no A/C had to repair some of the furniture and buy some kitchen items upon their arrival. I,m sure we will be arm wrestling to see who gets to rent the Speth's condo first upon our return. The owners had the dishwasher replaced while we were there, the old one worked fine, but it shows they stay on top of the preventative maintenance! Again great stay!

Aloha Audrey and Jim, I brought my family and stayed in your Hawaiian home. The condo was the right size and comfortable for the 8 of us. We really enjoyed being so close to the “fish pond,” and the location is convenient to the beaches, restaurants and shops in Kihei. It is also an easy drive from there to Kahului, Makawao and Paia. We enjoyed viewing the sunsets, turtles and whales breeching in the distance from the shore. It was a special and memorable vacation for the whole family. *Thank you Audrey, Jim and the island representative for being kind and very responsive to questions we had before and during our stay.

Our family of 6 (adults) enjoyed this 3 BR, 2 Bath property very much. I could hardly tear myself away from the 1st floor, oceanfront lanai whale watching to go do other things! Literally every single time I picked up the binoculars (which they had graciously provided, in additon to the 2 pairs we travel with!), there was whale activity: breaching, diving...just magnificent! We could also see sea turtles just 50-75 feet away. With beach access on either side of the property (and LOTS of beach gear provided by the owners), it was super easy to enjoy this little slice of Maui paradise. We rented Auntie's Snorkel gear for the week and also left behind some floatie / noodles for the next occupants. What we loved: What a fantastic view! The sunset right outside our door/lanai; 1st floor access to outdoors, with room for all six of us on the lanai; seating for six at the dining room table and also 2 sofas (both foldouts if you need the extra sleeping room!); some toiletry items in the bathroom; plenty of towels (including 6 beach towels); parking included; Indian restaurant in our building; quiet, with the bedrooms well separated from each other and no noise from other units; beautiful pool on property (we didn't use but it was there!); grills for our use in public area (we did use those!); rooftop deck for sunset viewing; large refrigerator; room in cabinets to put our groceries; in unit washer / dryer. Owners were super accessible and responsive to our messages / requests; loved the keyless entry (especially with 6 adults!); loved the expansive windows. We slept with them open some of the time! There's nothing like sleeping with the sounds of the ocean right outside your window. :-) Room for improvement: This condo was awesome, but there's always room to improve! The unit was clean enough, but the floors could really use a good scrub (I would recommend checking with the cleaning staff); sliding doors are a little rough (need a little maintenance); twin beds were squeaky; headboard in master BR is not connected to the bed (awkward; just needs to be attached!) Recommended additions: A footwash bin to place on the lanai would be awesome and help keep sand out of the condo; a recycling bin would make it easier to be environmentally responsible, especially since there is a place to put it with other trash outside. The concerns above are all minor. We would definitely rent with Jim and Audrey again. Mahalo!

Property was in a great location and it had easy access to activities.

This was our 2nd time staying at this property, and it was as amazing as the first time! The location is perfect - close to stores, restaurants, shops, and beaches. It is also a very easy drive to Lahaina and Wailea. The lagoon right outside the condo is full of sea turtles swimming and sunbathing on the rocks. The water is shallow with no waves, so it is perfect for the kids to go out and play. We cannot recommend this location enough - we cannot wait to go back!

Great location loved are stay can't wait to stay again. Great place to bring kid's.

We had a wonderful time. The condo had everything we needed. The space was perfect for our family.
