The condo is appointed like a 5 star hotel without the price tag! A vacation condo should feel like home (but better :-). I've filled it with things I love: art, a guitar, a jellyfish lamp and more... so hopefully you'll love it too!It's a beautiful space, 25ft from the ocean with a remodeled kitchen, bathroom, A/C and workstation/internet ideal for remote work (and if you don't need to work, it's a lovely desk for writing postcards). It's also a short walk to sandy beaches & restaurants.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />TL;DR description (detailed description below :-)<br /><br />- 25 feet from the ocean with an almost 180 degree view.<br />- Air Conditioner plus a ceiling fan<br />- High End Sterns & Foster King Mattress<br />- Many amenities for a perfect vacation: cooler, beach towels, umbrella, chairs, games, books, DVDs, and a guitar, if you go in for such things. :-)<br /> - and in the kitchen: microwave, coffee maker, tea kettle, juicer, rice cooker, oven, full sized fridge, high end pans, etc.<br />- Super fast internet, if you _have_ to work<br />- Sofa bed<br />- Zoned for a hotel, so you can book with confidence it'll be available regardless of any of the pending short-term rental legislation (unlikely to pass, but there are some folks trying to ban STRs in apartment zones).<br />- Second floor of a three story complex, up one flight of stairs.<br />- It's non-smoking.<br /><br /><br />Hi! I'm Jim Tierney and I stay here a couple months a year, so it's important the condo is kept in great shape and feels like home. The beautiful pacific ocean is 25 ft away from your lanai! Listen to the waves and see the stunning views of Lanai and Molokai. There's a small beach at the end of the sea wall where you can get in the water. During whale season, you can see whales all day long. The condo itself is designed as something I would expect from an upscale Maui resort. So it's very well appointed and very comfortable. This includes a new high end Sterns & Foster King Mattress. A vacation condo should feel like home and somewhere you look forward to returning to.<br /><br />I'm constantly updating the condo. For example, I added a King bed last year, and added new art, a kitchen backsplash and replaced the old window with a new double pane window this year.<br /><br />I remote work from the condo, so it's particularly well set up for that. A beautiful desk, ergonomic chair, a 27" monitor, and the fastest internet I can get. And a lanai 25 feet from the ocean to decompress! :-) So if you need to work, you won't find a better condo.<br /><br /><br />Prices you see on Airbnb include everything... parking, internet etc. No surprises like resort fees.<br /><br /><br />Check out the beautiful, custom shower! Finally got around to remodeling the shower and it came out amazing. All slate, river rock, and quartzite. I'm stoked about it and you will be too. :-)<br /><br />Key Amenities: A/C, new high-end mattress, free reserved parking, wired/wireless super fast internet (1000mb down/40mb up), flat screen TV, remodeled kitchen, newly remodeled shower, and lots of small amenities like a hair dryer in the bathroom and juicer in the kitchen. Lots of art from Maui and around the world.<br /><br />See the video for the view off of the lanai.<br /><br />Since I stay in the condo a couple months a year, I wanted to make it someplace I'd want to stay. So this is not a normal rental unit where everything was done on the cheap! I love the Westin and their Heavenly Bed, so that was my target in creating the space (minus all the noise and timeshare sales pitches :-).<br /><br />I figure there's two things people want from a Maui vacation... 1) to see and hear the ocean from their lanai and 2) to get some sleep. :-) As for the ocean, the condo is 25 feet away from the ocean so you can sit on the lanai and watch the waves crash into the sea wall or the sun set over the wide pacific and disappear behind Molokai. When it comes to sleeping I'm pretty particular about the mattress I sleep on, so it was important to find a good mattress that rivaled what I expect from the Westin. The mattress was just replaced by a new, high end Sterns & Foster King mattress. It's amazingly comfortable and I think you'll find it's wonderful to listen to the waves as you drift off to sleep.<br /><br />It's a wonderful, luxurious space that will give you everything you want from a Maui vacation. I look forward to having you experience it for yourself.<br /><br />If you're into cooking, the kitchen has been completely remodeled with granite countertops and custom wood cabinets. You have all the cookware necessary for a complete meal and then some. The dishes, glassware, and tableware are all beautiful and will make having dinner on the lanai at sunset feel like a 5 star restaurant. You are also a couple minutes away from a market that specializes in local and organic foods, if you're looking for fresh ingredients.<br /><br />There's also a brand new air conditioner, which is not common in vacation rentals.<br /><br />Of course, there's the usual stuff, 48" flatscreen TV with DVD and cable, high speed internet with WiFi, speakers to plug an iPod into, hair dryer, small library of DVDs, and even a desk to write postcards on or check email. There's also stuff like beach chairs, a boogie board, and beach towels. The couch becomes a queen sized, simmons sofa bed to accommodate kids or another adult. This IS a sofa bed. It's a nice one, but like all sofa beds it's not the paragon of comfort, especially for adults.<br /><br />There are two pools. However, this is a residential condo complex (meaning folks live here year round) so the pools aren't resort quality. There's no waterslides, bars, spa, lifeguards, or attendants handing you towels. They are nice, clean pools, but more modest than you'd find in a resort. Of course, the condo has pool/beach towels for your use and it's easy enough to mix up your own drinks in the blender. :-) There's also a couple day spas a short distance away.<br /><br />The condo is near a sandy beach which is great for swimming and snorkeling or just laying out. There's a grassy area directly in front with a gas BBQ, tables, and chaise lounges. You're one block from restaurants and shopping. It's an excellent central location to go north to Kapalua or south to Kaanapali. You'll need a car and there's a reserved parking spot included in the cost.<br /><br />The condo is non-smoking and is on the second floor, up one flight of stairs.<br /><br />Hawaii Tax ID: TA-113-583-7184-01<br /><br /><b>Guest access</b><br />Complex: Shared BBQ, picnic tables, laundry facilities ($1.75/wash), two pools, and lounges on the lawn in front of the sea wall.
