The condo is appointed like a 5 star hotel without the price tag! It's a beautiful space, 25ft from the ocean with a remodeled kitchen, bathroom, & A/C. It's a short walk to sandy beaches & restaurants! A vacation condo should feel like home. I've filled it with things I love: art, a guitar, a jellyfish lamp and more... so hopefully you'll love it too! Lahaina Fires: All of Maui will be open again on Oct. 8th and we're looking forward to having folks back! The beautiful pacific ocean is 25 ft away from your lanai! Listen to the waves and see the stunning views of Lanai and Molokai. During whale season, you can see whales all day long. The condo itself is designed as something I would expect from an upscale Maui resort. So it's very well appointed and very comfortable. This includes a new high end Sterns & Foster King Mattress. A vacation condo should feel like home and somewhere you look forward to returning to. Prices you see on Airbnb include everything... parking, internet etc. No surprises like resort fees. Lahaina Fires: The condo is about 8 miles north of the fire area, so not affected by the fires. The areas near the condo... Ka'anapali, Honokowai, Napili... were also not affected. Most stuff is now open or will be by October 8th, when they start encouraging visitors back to West Maui. So I'm looking forward to welcoming folks back to Maui... it's still beautiful and the ocean is still sparkling. Check out the beautiful, custom shower! Finally got around to remodeling the shower and it came out amazing. All slate, river rock, and quartzite. I'm stoked about it and you will be too. :-) Key Amenities: A/C, new high-end mattress, 600 thread count linens, free reserved parking, wired/wireless super fast internet (200mb down/15mb up), flat screen TV, remodeled kitchen, newly remodeled shower, and lots of small amenities like a hair dryer in the bathroom and juicer in the kitchen. See the video for the view off of the lanai. My name is Jim Tierney and I recently purchased this condo to live in two months of the year. I recently finished remodeling it and it came out beautifully. Since I'll be living in it, the remodel was necessary to make it someplace I'd want to stay. So this is not a normal rental unit where everything was done on the cheap! I love the Westin and their Heavenly Bed, so that was my target in creating the space (minus all the noise and timeshare sales pitches :-). I figure there's two things people want from a Maui vacation... 1) to see and hear the ocean from their lanai and 2) to get some sleep. :-) As for the ocean, the condo is 25 feet away from the ocean so you can sit on the lanai and watch the waves crash into the sea wall or the sun set over the wide pacific and disappear behind Molokai. When it comes to sleeping I'm pretty particular about the mattress I sleep on, so it was important to find a good mattress that rivaled what I expect from the Westin. The mattress was just replaced by a new, high end Sterns & Foster King mattress. It's wrapped up in designer bedding and 600 thread count sheets. It's amazingly comfortable and I think you'll find it's wonderful to listen to the waves as you drift off to sleep. It's a wonderful, luxurious space that will give you everything you want from a Maui vacation. I look forward to having you experience it for yourself. If you're into cooking, the kitchen has been completely remodeled with granite countertops and custom wood cabinets. You have all the cookware necessary for a complete meal and then some. The dishes, glassware, and tableware are all beautiful and will make having dinner on the lanai at sunset feel like a 5 star restaurant. You are also a couple minutes away from a market that specializes in local and organic foods, if you're looking for fresh ingredients. There's also a brand new air conditioner, which is not common in vacation rentals. Of course, there's the usual stuff, 32' flatscreen TV with DVD and cable, high speed internet with WiFi, speakers to plug an iPod into, hair dryer, small library of DVDs, and even a desk to write postcards on or check email (not that you'd be doing that on your vacation). There's also stuff like beach chairs, a boogie board, and beach towels. The couch becomes a queen sized, simmons sofa bed to accomodate kids or another adult. This IS a sofa bed. It's a nice one, but like all sofa beds it's not the paragon of comfort, especially for adults. There are two pools. However, this is a residential condo complex (meaning folks live here year round) so the pools aren't resort quality. There's no waterslides, bars, spa, lifeguards, or attendants handing you towels. They are nice, clean pools, but more modest than you'd find in a resort. Of course, the condo has pool/beach towels for your use and it's easy enough to mix up your own drinks in the blender. :-) There's also a couple day spas a short distance away. The unit is adjacent to a sandy beach which is great for swimming and snorkeling or just laying out. There's a grassy area directly in front with a gas BBQ, tables, and chaise lounges. You're one block from restaurants and shopping. It's an excellent central location to go north to Kapalua or south to Kaanapali, Lahaina town and the Lahaina Harbor. You'll need a car and there's a reserved parking spot included in the cost. The condo is non-smoking and is on the second floor, up one flight of stairs. Hawaii Tax ID: TA-113-583-7184-01 Complex: Shared BBQ, picnic tables, laundry facilities ($1.75/wash), two pools, and lounges on the lawn in front of the sea wall. There is nothing off limits. There's a sandy beach a 1/4 miles to the South that's an easy walk. It's a great, safe beach with ok snorkeling. Better snorkeling can be found at Ka'anapali beach (5 min.) or Honolua Bay (15 min). A less crowded beach is about 1 mile away. Restaurants and limited shopping are within a couple blocks. For more extensive shopping, you'll need to drive 5 min to Ka'anapali/Whaler's Village or drive 10 min to Lahaina. Reserved parking spot is included with the listing. While there are some restaurants and shops within walking distance, you'll need a car for most things.
