The pictures actually do not do the property justice. Quiet neighborhood, beautiful well appointed interior with everything you would need. Perfect backyard for morning coffee while watching the birds. Four minute walk to Mommas beach where you can view turtles and relax for as long as you want. We found this location to be perfectly located to experience everything Maui has to offer. We also met the owner of the property who was so kind and talked enthusiastically about how she made this home away from home so special!!

This was a lovely house and we had a great time. Lovely hang out spots outdoors, as well as ample space inside for a group of five. Hosts were communicative and easy going. Really appreciated everything and the location was great also, walking distance to the beach for morning sunrises and right next to a wonderful store and coffee shop. Five stars all around, with one small note about the outdoor hot tub. It’s really an indoor Jacuzzi that needs to be filled every time you want to use it, and there is a note that says there may not be enough hot water to fill it from the solar heating system. It’s also smaller than we thought -for about two people. Since there were five of us, we didn’t even try it, though we had been looking forward to having a hot tub. It may have worked just fine, and would probably work for a couple or a smaller group. For us it seems like a lot of work, and possibly a little bit wasteful with water and taxing on the heating system to get five people in so I can’t speak to that amenity. Otherwise, five stars, and everything was fantastic! Thank you!

Such a wonderful secluded quiet Hawaiian experience- beautiful location right on the road to Hana and near the quaint town of Paia. Everything in the home was perfect for our adult family of 5. We used and enjoyed everything. Tons of fun was had at the ocean’s tidal pool- a perfect place to swim, sun & enjoy watching the giant turtles. The outdoor tub was unique and a perfect place to Star gaze. There was even a little corner store within walking distance with tons of great merch, & delicious food, coffee & wine at reasonable price and a well stocked Safeway only 5 miles down the road. Do yourself a big favor & book this place if you can!

The house is well located, very clean, very well stocked, well groomed small yard with tropical plants all around. We had read reviews about a Tide Pool within walking distance and it did not disappoint. There were turtles on the rocks the first time we were there, turtles on the beach the second visit and very rough waters with big splashes and no beach another time. Although it isn't real large, the spa tub. was also very nice. Be sure and keep your doors closed to keep the little Maui pests out. If we ever get back to Maui we will definitely plan our trip around Menehune House being available!!

Wonderful house with tons of room for everyone to spread out. Nothing better than the hot tub and pool after long days at the park! Perfect location for all Disney parks!

The house was well decorated, well stocked and well kept and VRBO photos/description accurate and we had a lovely time. But felt a tad claustrophobic as neighbor houses are very close on 3 sides. Could barely see the sky. We were disappointed in the lack of a lanai or any other outdoor living space except a round metal umbrella table and 6 uncomfortable metal folding chairs which sat on a concrete pad surrounded by sharp gravel and rough pavement right by the front door (w/b much nicer if this was a grassy area with lounge furniture). Would have appreciated at least a few outdoor chairs in the tiny "back" yard where there is a little pod of grass and a patch of sky.

I did not do a lot of research about the different areas of Maui before booking but I'd stay around the North Shore again! Quiet neighborhood, short walk to a private little tide pool beach with great snorkeling and huge sea turtles and the local store/deli was also a short walk with fantastic food and drinks. The rental had everything we needed and the outdoor shower was a nice bonus!

Me and friends honestly couldn’t have asked for a whole lot more. We were in town for a friend’s funeral, and having this place to commemorate him while we were bustling around the island made everything a lot easier. The home was clean and ready for us, with plenty of the things you’d want to have a good time in Maui.
One criticism: the tub didn’t put out any hot water, and that was after trying for about 5 minutes. Not a huge deal, but it would have been nice.
