KA'ANAPALI BEACH'S BEST KEPT SECRET - SEA SHELLS BEACH HOUSE – Sleeps 6+
AVAILABLE CHRISTMAS! (Checkout time for 12/26 departure is 9:00am.) Sea Shells is an updated and beautifully sprawling family-friendly beach front vacation home with a heated lagoon pool, new jacuzzi, powerful air conditioning, 3 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, all set directly on gorgeous award-winning sandy Ka`anapali Beach. NEW PHOTOS of new appliances, decor and furnishings are forthcoming, as the current ones do not do this luxury vacation residence justice.
At Sea Shells, discerning guests will luxuriate in a contemporary styled and privacy gated home set on one acre of landscaped grounds with central air conditioning, a lagoon shaped freeform heated swimming pool, outdoor hot tub spa, chaise lounges and hammock, high speed wireless internet service, HD television service with AppleTV and streaming channels, surround sound in the great room, a hotel type of safe, office nook with a fax/printer/scanner, and an exceptionally well equipped entertainer's kitchen with abundant high-quality cooking, dining, and serving supplies.
The exquisite swimming pool reflects graceful palm trees which frame the garden. Swim under the stars at night by the light of tiki torches. We love this pool and consider it one of the most attractive and inviting of any vacation home in the islands!
The great room of Sea Shells Beach House opens to the outdoor patio and pool and has cathedral ceilings with two lounging areas in addition to an entertainment center with surround sound and new flat panel LCD television with premium channels, digital reception and Apple TV 4K. The kitchen is stocked with all new supplies and small appliances commensurate with luxury standards, including a Nespresso machine, coffee grinder, abundant service ware, wine glasses, champagne flutes, martini glasses, top quality cookware, and so much more to use and enjoy!
Each of the 3 bedrooms has its own private en-suite bathroom and flat panel televisions with AppleTV. A convenient office nook provides a large desk, ethernet cable to hook into the high speed cable modem, office supply, fax, and brand new multi-function office machine. There are two laundry centers. Use of the two-car garage is available.
The single level design of Seashells Beach House provides very comfortable living for guests with limited physical movement. This property can be enjoyed by guests using a wheelchair although it is not specifically outfitted for special needs.
A hop and skip from Sea Shells is a beach front kiosk which rents ocean sports equipment including surf boards, boogie boards, skim boards, Hobie cats and snorkel sets. Castaway Cafe, is adjacent to the kiosk serving breakfast, lunch and dinner in a casual beach front setting. The primary Ka`anapali Resort hotels as well as Whaler's Village Shopping Center and its many restaurants featuring live music on the beach, can be reached within 1-2 minutes by car or on foot if you hike some distance down the beach through the Sheraton Ka`anapali Resort, then along a paved pedestrian walking promenade that hugs the coastal beach. From the heart of Ka`anapali Beach hop on a sailing catamaran for a snorkel sail, scuba diving, or romantic sunset cocktail cruise. West Maui airport is minutes away for easy access from other islands. The recreational activities available within Ka`anapali Resort are endless.
Sea Shells Beach House is one of the very few legal hotel-zoned vacation rental homes on the island of Maui. Maui island is located on Maui island, listed as the third best place in the World to visit, and the fourth best place to visit in the US, according to the best vacation rankings for 2022-2023 published by U.S. News & World Report.
