Oceanfront Escape with Private Lanai, Chef's Kitchen, and Resort Amenities Steps from the Beach

Welcome to your puʻuhonua (sanctuary) in paradise, where Maui's serene oceanfront lifestyle becomes your reality. Picture yourself waking up to the sound of the nalu (waves) and stepping onto your private lanai to bask in breathtaking views of Lāna'i and Moloka'i. This is where relaxation and adventure meet—where every sunrise and sunset paints the sky with unforgettable colors just for you. Your condo is steps from the beach, nestled within 13 acres of lush ʻāina aloha (beloved land). Imagine sipping your morning coffee as humpback whales, or koholā, grace the waters in winter and spring, or strolling through the beautifully maintained tropical gardens alive with the spirit of aloha. Whether you're here for a romantic escape or a cherished family getaway, every moment feels magical.

Key Features:

Ocean Views and Sounds
Let the soothing nalu (waves) lull you into relaxation as you enjoy this oceanfront retreat. Gaze out from your private lanai to the sparkling Pacific, Lāna'i, and Moloka'i, where every view is a masterpiece painted by ʻāina aloha (beloved land).

Tranquil Setting
Embrace the mālie (peaceful) pace of Hawaiian life, where your cares drift away like the tide. This second-story sanctuary offers the perfect balance of privacy and connection to Maui's natural beauty.

Accommodates Four
