From even prior to check in, Joe was extremely prompt with communication and information regarding the check in process, house expectations and any issues that arose. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean and when I noticed the dishwasher had a lot of buildup on the bottom, he sent out his cleaning crew the very next morning to address it. The pictures are pretty accurate of the property except the lighting wasn’t as bright as what the pictures depicted. The master shower has a curtain that you can open and look out to the beach. Great idea in theory, but when your partner is still sleeping in the morning and you want to use the washroom, the light is very bright through the curtain so the person sleeping is disturbed. I’m not sure if it was because of the high surf warnings, but the beach the condo is on was pretty full of debris. It was fine to walk and sit on, but I wouldn’t swim in it. The pool on the grounds was kept up extremely well. Every morning the grounds crew would clean the pool and all the grills on the property. And if anyone is concerned about the smell of the Indian restaurant on the first floor, it doesn’t smell at all in the apartment. The only time we were hit by the smell was when we got on or off the elevators so don’t let that deter you from booking. The condo is a three minute ride from a bunch of food trucks and most importantly, Kraken Coffee. It’s also a short drive to the Kam beaches and about 15-20 minutes from Wailea.

Fun place to stay and a good location.

This rental exceeded ALL expectations! First of all, the views are exceptional, absolutely beautiful, breathtaking of the West Maui Mountains AND from the other side of the unit a spectacular view of Haleakala. Every morning I went on a long walk on the beach which is just steps away from the unit. On each morning walk I was blessed to discover multiple green sea turtles resting on the beach and even got to witness a few of them returning to the waterjust magical! There is also a roof top common area with grills and picnic tables with more mind-blowing views of the island of Maui. The sunsets are fabulous from the lanai of the unit and from the 7th floor roof top. It is in a great location as it is close to grocery stores, restaurants and shopping. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this unit in Menehune Shores. We will definitely return and we will let all of our friends and family know about this fantastic place to stay.

The condo was not as expected. The photos are photoshopped and the condo appears much brighter and larger than it actually is. The view from the balcony is very nice. It’s is old and requires a good renovation. The lighting system is very confusing and the patio doors are difficult to open and close. The kitchen is lacking some basic items that I would expect in this kind of rental. Some various sizes of containers for leftovers which are not expensive to provide. Although there was salt, there was no pepper. There is no kettle for tea. It would be a nice touch if there was a small welcome package upon arriving. Enough coffee for the first morning, a couple of tea bags, and a half dozen bottles of water, a box of tissue. Coming off a plane, especially a late flight, it would give guests time to assess what they need to buy once they get to a grocery store. The host is very polite, responsive, and timely in his communication, and was kindly accommodating when I requested an extra 2 hours to check out.
