We bought this unit because we fell in love with the spectacular view visible from this corner penthouse ocean front spacious Condo with a wrap around Lanai. There is no finer view in all of the South Pacific with more than a 200 degree panorama of Kaanapali Beach, Maui's finest Beach together with scenic views of Lanai, Molokai, Kaanapali Beach and the West Maui Mountains. Floor to ceiling windows allow unobstructed ocean views from the bedrooms, living room, dining room and kitchen. Three TVs with cable connection, plus DVD, CD,and VCR players allow a wide array of entertainment. A fully equipped kitchen where the view will mesmerize you as you cook plus an in house washer and dryer provide convenient living options.
The ocean front heated pool with new paver deck, new 10 foot diameter hot tub will be completed before Thanksgiving. On the property there is a fully equipped exercise room, sauna, business center, and tennis courts. The newly redesigned courtyard with a new larger koi pond and waterfall will be 80% done by Christmas. The covered garage between the towers is being refurbished with a new waterproof membrane over the roof and will largely be done also by Christmas. A new wider more elegant driveway has been built at the Porte Cochere where you check-in. A newly redesigned entrance off Kaanapali Parkway will be done early next year.
We love the convenience that within easy walking distance there are two world class golf courses, at least a dozen restaurants, The Whaler's Village Shopping Center with many upscale shops, a whaling museum, five hotels, and five other condominium projects. A paved promenade allows easy strolling along Kaanapali beach. A free Trolley allows you ride between all the properties on Kaanapali Beach.
Lahaina, The Historic Whaling Capital of the Pacific is three miles away and contains many historic buildings dating from the early to mid 1800s plus shops, art galleries, restaurants, movie theaters, live theatre and magic show productions.
