About this property
Amazing panoramic 11th floor VIEW! 1 unit back from oceanfront steps to sand sea
Beachfront location, ocean view, beach chairs make this an ideal place to relax in the sunshine. Air conditioning, expansive lanai will help make your beach vacation restful and easy. Enjoy nearby water activities, golf courses, restaurants and shopping.
****New updates during Fall 2023, are 2 new bathrooms with brand new flooring, quartz counters, lighting, designer tile and mirrors, one new walk in shower and one with shower and tub, sleek new ceiling fans and new sliding glass doors and screens in both rooms. New carpeting & draperies with black out drapes added 2022.****
Beautiful Ocean Views of the channel and island of Lanai, golden sands of pristine Kaanapali Beach and west Maui Mountains greet you each morning on your private 11th floor lanai. Relax in the tropical breezes and the sounds of the surf as you watch whales (Dec-April) and dolphins dance in the ocean. Inhale picturesque evening Sunsets with tropical drinks in-hand and soft Hawaiian music.
During the day slip into your flip flops, check out towels from the beach activities kiosk and step out to the pool and soft, sandy beach to enjoy your choice of water activities. Snorkeling at world famous Black Rock is a short walk down the beach. Sail on a whale-watching or sunset cruise. Scuba and sport fishing are readily available. Or settle down in a lounge chair with your favorite book.
Did we mention golf? The Royal Kaanapali course (36 holes) is across the street. The Bay and Plantation courses are a quick 15 minute drive. You'll enjoy the on-site tennis courts that have been recently resurfaced and tennis pro who will arrange matches or lessons with like ability players. Courts striped for pickle ball!
