About this property

Paradise! Direct Ocean Front Unit!!

This beautifully remodeled two-bedroom, two-bath oceanfront non- air-conditioned condo at Menehune Shores is the perfect Maui escape! Located on the peaceful ground floor, this unit offers easy walk-out access to a calm, sandy beach—just 75 steps away—and unobstructed views of the ocean, swaying palms, and neighboring islands. Wake up to this stunning view right from the master bed, and enjoy Maui’s dramatic sunsets and whale sightings (in season) from your private lanai.

Inside, the condo features a fully equipped and remodeled kitchen with granite countertops, modern appliances, and everything you need for relaxed island dining. Ceiling fans in each room and natural cross-ventilation provide cooling tropical breezes throughout the day. The unit also includes an in-suite washer and dryer for your convenience. With one king bed, one queen bed, and a twin bed, it’s the ideal setup for families or two couples.

The private lanai opens directly onto grassy oceanfront slopes and a serene beach that feels wonderfully secluded—perfect for morning walks, snorkeling, or simply unwinding by the sea. The curved horseshoe design of the building offers each unit a unique orientation, and ours benefits from soft natural lighting without direct, harsh sun exposure.

The beautifully maintained grounds of Menehune Shores include a heated oceanfront pool, BBQ area, and a rooftop deck offering panoramic views—perfect for whale watching and golden-hour sunsets. You’re also steps away from the highly-rated Monsoon Indian restaurant, located right on the property.

Menehune Shores is ideally located in quiet North Kihei, just 20 minutes from the airport and close to shopping, dining, and island adventures. Despite the devastating August 2023 fires in West Maui, our South Kihei condo was untouched and remains a peaceful haven where you can relax, recharge, and make unforgettable memories.

Indoor Features:
One King size bed, One Queen size bed & One Twin size bed
Fully remodeled kitchen with granite countertops and updated appliances
Ceiling fans in each room and excellent natural airflow
Lanai with private seating and stunning ocean views
Flat-screen smart TVs, cable, and Wi-Fi
In-unit washer and dryer

Outdoor Features:

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Overall the unit was okay. My biggest complaint would be there is no air conditioning. There were some minor maintenance issues like a broken bedroom window and sliding screen door was hard to open. The unit was clean but the remotes to the tv definitely need to be cleaned. They were tacky and full of dirt. I would still recommend the unit if air conditioning wasn’t a main concern to someone. For me, I would not stay here again until ac was put in. It was way too humid even with all the fans on. Also the price was pretty high compared to other units that were way more updated and had more features at Menehune shores. Great location though.

Having a view of the beach, palms, grass and the ocean is a huge reason guests love our condo. We also hire a wonderful person to host our condo, Hope Marie, who really cares that our guests have a great stay. If need be -- she'll go out if her way to make things right. We have recently put in new appliances, flat TVs, new washer/dryer, and nicely remolded both bathrooms (which probably isn't the main reason you're coming to Maui). As owners who live on the Island and who care about the quality of the condo, we think you'll enjoy it if you stay with us. ALOHA!
