Located on Keawakapu Beach, one of Maui’s best swimming and snorkeling beaches, with unobstructed ocean views to the outer islands and beyond, this third-floor condo sets a spectacular tone for your ultimate Maui beach adventure. One of only two condo properties on locals-favorite Keawakapu Beach, Hale Hui Kai 313 is an air-conditioned, tastefully renovated oasis positioned a one-minute beach stroll from one of the most vibrant snorkeling reefs on Maui’s south shore.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />At first glance, the tasteful tropical decor may seem just that - but look closer, and you’ll find authentic treasures lifted from Maui’s past. Original paintings from iconic Maui artist Rik Fitch, a vintage utility pot rescued from the old Lahaina Sugar Plantation repurposed as lanai décor, a hand-made ukulele from Honolulu fashioned around the opening of a coconut shell, a bench salvaged from a reno at the ocean front Wailea Point, and an array of now-rare Koa pieces are among the pieces lovingly collected and displayed by the unit’s owner, a rare original owner. <br /> <br />The view never gets old from the oversized beach-front lanai, which offers up views of Molokini Crater and Kahoolawe Island. There is also a refreshing fresh water pool a few feet from the beach. <br /> <br />The unit offers every essential to create your Maui memories. Prepare your island feast in the well-equipped kitchen, outfitted with all the accoutrements and small appliances you will need. Lightning-fast internet (wired or wireless) serves every room, beach gear (towels, umbrella, beach chairs and cooler) and beach gear is included. <br /> <br />The Master Suite is fitted with a high-quality King bed and the second bedroom features a Queen. The bedrooms feature individual climate-controlled air conditioning stations, and the living room/kitchen areas are cooled by prevailing trade winds right off the ocean. Sleep to the sound of the lapping surf if you desire. <br /> <br />Hale Hui Kai 313 is tucked away on its own slice of beach paradise, yet a convenient walk to South Kihei's many restaurants and shopping options. <br /> <br />// About the Property // <br /> <br />The Vacation Rental Condos at Hale Hui Kai offer an idyllic oceanfront escape on Maui’s sunny south shore.
