The hosts are amazing - accommodating, quick to respond, helpful. The place is very clean, well-appointed, lots of room for the 5 of us adults, and would obviously accommodate at least one more adult and some kids. We had a problem with the coffee maker, and the on-site manager (very friendly) had a new one to us within minutes. The ocean view is spectacular, walk out to the beautiful lawn, nice pool, beach out front, walk for miles along the sandy beach going either way. Condo building well-maintained, friendly staff. Parking is easy, and drive 5 minutes to everything you need - groceries, restaurants, bars, gifts, snorkel shops etc. Although we did not have children, we see that they have a lot of equipment available (playpens, high chairs, toys etc.). Washer & dryer brand new, laundry soap supplied + other cleaning products. They have thought of everything, really, to make our stay pleasant. This is our second time staying at the Speth Maui home, and won't be our last.

My wife and I stayed there with 2 other couples (Jan 31 - Feb 14, 2024) and absolutely loved it! The accommodations were great and the "central" location (Kihei) is a real benefit to visiting anywhere else on the island. In addition to being able to watch the whales "play" every day, having a bunch of giant sea turtles almost outside our patio door was really special! We highly recommend this place.....2 thumbs up!

Your first impression when you open the door is the priceless ocean view!! The condo itself is very spacious. We had 6 adults in our group and had plenty of room. The kitchen was well stocked and even had some staples to start with. The beds were all very comfortable and the rooms very clean. We stayed a full two weeks with a late check out. This way we didn't waste a single day on this beautiful island! We have stayed at Menehune Shores many times but this is absolutely our favorite unit. The rest of the grounds are immaculate and well maintained. You also have Maui's historical fishing pond 35 feet from your large lani with plenty of outdoor seating. The pool area is always clean and well maintained. This area also has three very large clean gas grills as does the rooftop seating and entertaining area. This property also has a great Indian restaurant and bar "The Monsoon" .My parents have been coming for years and their most favorite activity is watching all the whales, dolphins and turtle's. The weather in Kihei is always warm and has more sunny days than the West side of Maui. You may find newer and more posh places to stay, but this unit and resort, has been home to us many times. The very worst part of staying here is leaving 😪 to go home! The owners and on property managers are great people and easy and responsive to work with and the whole process is so simple. Everyone on Maui has the Aloha spirit, including all of us escaping the mainland sub artic temps!

Had a wonderful time here in Kihei. The condo was perfect. Clean, roomy, great location, beautiful view, nearby supermarkets, lots of restaurants and additional shopping. Just steps from the beach with snorkeling that had the added joy of being a turtle habitat. Spent the Christmas & New Year holidays here & would happily do it again!

The Speth's Hawaiian home on Maui doesn't disappoint. The first week of our 40 year-in-the-making Hawaiian vacation was everything we wanted and more. There was plenty of room for our six adults to spread out and never be on top of one another. We spents hours every day on the lanai enjoying the spectacular views. We could certainly tell the Speths actually use their home, as it was not missing anything our family needed all week. Jim's emails were packed full of info that was greatly appreciated. Thank you Jim and Aubrey for being such spectacular hosts.

The place was amazing and we couldn't have asked for a nicer spot. Jim is a dream to deal with and extremely responsive on everything. Very accommodating for our family. Nothing bad to say about the place or our experience, loved every minute of it. Can’t wait to go back!

We had a perfect stay. Location, check in, cleanliness were all great. Windows and shades need a bit of dusting- but not serious. The home has everything you need! Everything (home, sofas, blinds, building) is a bit older than it looks in the pictures- can be updated (we would still return as is!). Cindy the property manager was very helpful. We had wifi problems and she (and Jim) were super responsive and sorted everything out super quick (new router!). We’ll be back!

We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay during our 7-person/3-generation week-long trip to Maui! This condo is easily accessible, comfortable, and the owners & manager were easy to work with and responsive. The 1st floor location is really convenient, with the beach and pool literally steps from the lanai. We actually preferred the beach here to any others we went to. It just felt safer (less waves) and was more relaxing. The AC was a must for us and was very efficient and easy to use. The view was spectacular!! We spent every morning and evening relaxing on the lanai. I could sit there all day! The condo was spacious enough for the 7 of us and was well-stocked. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend this condo-it is worth every penny! Just a couple things to consider (which absolutely would NOT prevent us from staying here again, but for full transparency): - Though not related to this specific condo, but the building itself, the parking spots here are TINY making it hard to find a spot at times and get people/items in and out of the vehicle. If you use a larger vehicle, this gets annoying. - The beds in the two front bedrooms are quite firm. If you like firm beds, you'll love them. If you're used to softer beds (we have a Tempurpedic at home) there will be an adjustment period for your back. Overall, we HIGHLY recommend this condo and we will be return guests if we have another family trip to Maui.

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.
