Great location, great view of pool and ocean. Convenient location to stores and places to eat. Very cool place, with all the amenities needed, and then some.

Perfect spot in Kihei for beaches, restaurants and launching point to visit other parts of the island. The condo was clean with ample space for a family of 5. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub, as well as the bbq and outdoor eating area. We'd come back here in a minute!

Our place was centrally located. We had a great view of the ocean from our room. We saw several whales right from our deck out of the living room. Everything, including the air conditioning, worked great. I would come back in a minute.

My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Great location. We just walked across the road every evening to catch the sunset. Lots of good restaurants within walking distance. Just a bit up the road is a park that has a walkway along the ocean. Loved it. I absolutely recommend this property.

Great place to stay!

The condo is located in the heart of Kihei and an easy walk to many restaurants and shops. The two bedroom two bathroom layout works great with friends or family. Sit and enjoy a beautiful view of the ocean from the balcony or enjoy the pool and amenities on property.

Great location. Walking distance to beaches food and shops. Easy access to the island. Thank you for the accommodations!

We didn't know much about Maui when we first booked this VRBO. We mostly were looking for something on the more affordable side near a beach that could fit a family of 5 comfortably over Christmas break. We planned to have a rental car so we could explore Maui by day and just needed a place to crash at night. Our stay at the Shores of Maui ended up being my favorite stay during our 2 week/3 island family vacation. The owner, Sam, was great with communication beforehand. We loved that the unit had plenty of beach towels, chairs, boogey boards, etc. It was easy to walk to the grocery store, tons of restaurants, and food trucks for all of our meals. Had a great view of the pool/hot tub and surfing beach from the balcony. We found lots of great beaches nearby but still decided to day trip around the island to explore. In the end, I really loved the Kihei vibe more than the other fancier areas like Wailea or Kaanapali. It was a great mix of laid back tourists and locals. Casual dining options, cute shops, surf schools, all line the street as you walk around. Gorgeous beaches and parks to stroll through and watch the sunset. We felt fortunate to be in the center of it all. The pool and hot tub were the perfect way to end our days. Wish we had a few more days! Couldn't ask for a better place to be!

This property was wonderful and had everything we needed for our vacation. It was so well stocked and had so many "extras" that we weren't expecting. Everything from all the beach gear (umbrella, chairs, boogie boards, beach towels, snorkels, coolers, etc) to kitchen supplies (plenty of spices, keurig, tupperware, lots of cups and dishes, filtered water) to other supplies (laundry soap, toilet paper, even had extra sunscreen, etc). The communication with the owner was top notch. Even when there was an issue with the microwave, he got it replaced asap. The place is showing its age a bit and being that close to the ocean, things can get rusty faster but otherwise we were very happy with our stay. Other pros: beds were comfy; huge bedrooms; amazing view from the balcony; great location (short walk to Barmuda triangle and foodland); pool was amazing; a/c and fans worked well to keep the condo cool. Would definitely stay here again!

Cons — Missing smoke detectors (we installed two for our stay), no carbon monoxide detectors, small brown roaches, improperly vented dryer- tons of lint on ceiling, balcony did not feel secure & moved when standing on it. We didn’t use it because of this. Laminate counter’s taped together, masking tape was holding the floorboard down to the floor in master bedroom, dirty and dusty furniture, pipes make a gurgling noise every 20-30 minutes in master bedroom, entry closet doors broken, light/vent not working in master, mold/mildew on ceilings & vents in both bathrooms, guest bathroom floor has water damage and smells like mildew Front door- security screen is very difficult to open. Must pull and then unlock (my children couldn’t do it) this is a safety hazard. Security screen doesn’t latch when you exit. Pros— Location is great Beaches are nice Grounds are nicely kept Pool area is maintained nicely & grills cleaned & Boogie boards provided. Host wanted us to schedule a handyman & cleaning appt. Or have them come while we were out. We were way too busy for this and did not want a stranger in the unit. He refunded the cleaning fee & first night stay. The next afternoon he said we could pack and find somewhere else to stay while he addressed all issues. This was not an option as we had a ton of activities planned for the week. We decided to spend most of our time out of the unit and only slept and showered there. I would not stay here again.

This place was perfect for our family! The kiddos enjoyed the pool on the property, and my husband enjoyed grilling overlooking the ocean. The beds were comfy, the house had everything we needed, including everything for days at the beach, and we absolutely will stay again next time we’re in Maui!

The unit was very well stocked with every amenity you could think of. The location was terrific and close to a wide variety of activities. Definitely a place to stay when visiting Maui!

This condo was perfect for the five of us! So much within walking distance. The pool was great! Even when the pool was busy, all guests were very respectful of the quiet time.

Nice property Enjoyed the extras, boogie boards, ice chest, beach chairs etc.

This is a large condo - love the 2 queen beds in the second bedroom and the king in the other! My teens had ample space for themselves. The condo can use some upgrades/remodeling (bath, cabinets), but it was clean and suited our purposes nicely. Well equipped with beach chairs, boogie boards, etc. and walking distance to surf board rental, restaurants and stores - and steps away from the beach!

This condo had beautiful ocean views and was within walk-in on distance of foodland and Kihei cafe. It was well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. The beds were comfortable and the AC worked well.

We like staying in Kihei due to its central location. Property is very clean with a view of the ocean from each condo.

Such a nice place to stay, location was perfect for our family. Plenty of sights and relaxation from the lanai and pool areas, and having access to beach equipment is a bonus! Close proximity to some great dining and parking is a breeze and included. Thanks Sam!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. We easily found the property and was excited at the many food options within walking distance. The beach park area was across the street for a front row seat at gorgeous sunsets. Beds are extremely comfortable. The complex is quiet for relaxing around the pool and hot tub area. This a second floor condo so views to ocean for whale watching was perfect.

This was one of the best places we’ve stayed. Properly was immaculate. The location was prime with easy walking distance to restaurants, beach ,activities and shopping. The pool and hot tub were clean and spacious. The tennis and pickleball courts were a wonderful addition.

Very comfortable facility in a great location. Hate to recommend cause I’d like to keep this little gem to myself. Communication with Sam was quick and efficient.

Look no further, Sam's property offers everything you'll need for your Maui stay. The newly added AC was welcomed after my first stay at this condo was slightly warmer than I'd care for (we're from the pacific NW and don't tolerate heat as well as some). The condo has a large TV that hooks up to streaming. We're big NBA fans so that's a must. Comfortable beds and enough seating for meals. A couple things I'd love to see added - additional beach chairs. The condo sleeps six, but there are only two qdult size chairs. I'd also love to see an update set of pots/pans/baking dishes. I remember the cookie sheet from my last stay in 2019, it's seen better days! Sam and his housekeeper are super responsive. Lovely complex with a great pool that's 8ft deep and hot tub.

Property location is ideal for Kihei. Sam was a great host. After an initial hiccup, Sam was great in making sure we were comfortable in his condo. The unit has been well taken care of for the most part and we were completely satisfied with our stay. We would have no problem recommending this place for others to stay at.

Perfect location in Kihei. Close to shops , restaurants, beach across street. Ocean view from lanai. Very clean and all beach equipment supplied. We loved everything

We had the time of our lives and Sam’s place is the perfect central spot for exploring all of Maui. If you’ve never been before Kihei is the place to go. Sam’s place is walking distance (like two blocks) to a great surf school (Maui Waveriders) a great snorkel/dive shop (Maui Dreams) an excellent breakfast/lunch place (Kihei Cafe). And just two more blocks down is a great nightlife area and tourist shops. The place is clean and super quiet. The pool and hot tub are well kept and the grills are a great addition. Sam’s place has all the stuff you’ll need for the beach. And Sam is easily the best host I’ve worked with out of all the places I’ve stayed. Communicates great and even helped me with a spot to store my bags until closer to my flight time on my day of checkout. This was the best vacation we’ve ever had. I was there for two weeks solo and as a female solo traveler I felt safe in and around the complex. We will definitely go back to Sam’s place next time we visit Maui. Mahalo!!!!!

Been going to Shores of Maui since 2013 love it every time we go.

My family of five all had a great time here. The apartment was clean and spacious, very well equipped. AC worked properly and the beds were comfy. The pool area was great too. Nothing but nice things to say really!

The condo with the pool and the ocean right across the street were perfect. The presence of tiny ants was the only complain. Communication with the owner was great. Mahalo !

We found the location to be perfect for our stay. We did the Road to Hana and Summit at Haleakala on two different days. Surfed right across the street and enjoyed a quick dip on the pool. Sam and his local contacts were easy to contact and were very responsive and helpful with any questions. We even realized we had left a couple things behind and were able to make arrangements to swing by days later to grab them before flying home. Kitchen was well equipped. Having two full baths and laundry facilities was super helpful for our party of six. Condo is in good shape and very convenient! Could use a good deep cleaning but was generally tidy and served us well for our stay. We loved having a cooler, boogie boards, beach umbrella and chairs as well as wagon to haul it all at our disposal!
