We are all saddened by the devastating wild fires in Lahaina. It was an historic town with many good restaurants, galleries, and shops. The harbor was busy with sightseeing boats and whale watching boats in the winter. Cruise ships always stopped there for a day. It was also a vibrant town of 12,000 residents who worked in the restaurants, galleries, shops, and boats. It was the economic hub of West Maui. While all of the structures are gone and too many lives have been lost, the survivors go on. They need the support of the locals and the visitors. There has been a tremendous outpouring of help. Visitors are reporting the gratitude expressed by locals for coming and spending money as well as donations of goods.

Kihei is centrally located in South Maui and is home to many condos and residential areas. The Road to Hana, Haleakala, the resorts in Wailea, the lava fields on the way to Ahihi Preserve are an easy drive from Kihei. Our building is directly on the water with beaches adjacent to our lawn. Experience paradise as you sit on your lanai with nothing but sweeping views of the azure waters of Ma'alaea Bay and the Pacific Ocean with the gentle sway of graceful palm trees in the foreground. Watch the sunset every night on our lanai or meet fellow guests and owners on the roof with a beverage and cook on the grills.

Our large, light and bright, beautifully appointed condo is situated on the 4th floor in Menehune Shores, Kihei. It features 3 large bedrooms (2 oceanfront bedrooms with queen beds and 1 bedroom with twin beds facing the imposing Haleakala volcano and the Maui sunrise) and 2 full baths. All linens and towels (bath and beach) are provided. An updated fully equipped kitchen, hairdryers, great room, 2 flat-screen TV's and separated laundry room with full sized washer and dryer -- all the comforts of home are yours as you experience the wonders of this magnificent island. We are directly on the water and generally have sea breezes that cool the condo - we do not have A/C and reduce our rates in the summer.

Amenities include a heated pool with gas grills and picnic tables nearby, waterfront access, shuffleboard court, and free parking (one car during high season). FYI - the POOL IS CLOSED THE WEEK AFTER LABOR DAY for annual maintenance and the nightly rental rate is reduced accordingly. There is a rooftop garden complete with gas grills and picnic tables which serves as a place to gather with others to enjoy magnificent sunsets and whale watching in the winter. If you are hosting a large gathering, a full kitchen is available to rent for your event. Menehune Shores is a very well maintained building with lush lawns and beautiful tropical plantings.

We engage Tracy Keenan as our on-island agent for our rental guests. She provides cleaning, maintenance, guest information book, and pre-rental inspection of the unit to ensure everything is in working order.

From the moment you step off the plane, the loving "Aloha Spirit" envelopes you for the time you spend with us.
