TRAVEL TO THIS PROPERTY IS NOT IMPACTED BY THE FIRES. SOUTHSIDE IS OPEN TO TRAVELERS. GOVERNMENT IS ENCOURAGING TRAVEL TO THIS AREA. Aloha! We are the owners of a gorgeous, newly remodeled penthouse, 1 bd 1 ba (sleeps 3) condo with amazing ocean views inside and out. I to 2 minute walk from beach. It is decorated with a feel of the island throughout. New sound resistant glass balcony doors, windows and ductless split AC makes this a quiet retreat filled with light and extraordinary views. As beautiful as this condo was when we purchased it, we continue to make yearly updates. In 2107 we updated the split ductless AC in the living and bedroom so it is virtually brand new. In 2018 we added new solar shades. Now the windows are totally open to the amazing view and you can still enjoy the view with the shades down. We also added mirrors to the lanai. These mirrors bring even more of the view into the condo. We added a screen door so you can enjoy the lovely cross breezes we get on the island. In 2021 we added a new memory foam, California King mattress. We also added a few new pieces of furniture. Our unit is supplied with all of the supplies to make your vacation as fun and relaxing as possible. Just unpack and let the vacation begin! The 1st floor of the complex has shops where you can rent bikes, grab a coffee or sandwich, arrange a massage, haircut or pedicure/manicure, pick up some essentials in a small market and plan diving or snorkeling adventures. Maui Dream Dive is a top rated dive shop that can help with any snorkel or dive gear needs. There is also a gym about 7 minutes up the road - convenient drop in rates for travelers. Or just lounge at the on site pool. Easy to learn to surf here! It doesn't get any more convenient. Rent surfboards and paddleboard gear from the surf store across the street. You are across the street from "The Cove" the best beginner surf spot on the island. Watch your friends and family surf from the lanai while enjoying your morning coffee! During whale season, the whales will be easy to spot from this top sixth floor "lookout", binoculars provided! The Island Surf building, in particular, is easy living. A SHORT WALK puts you at the Kihei marketplace and many great restaurants. A GROCERY STORE (Foodland) is an easy stroll. STARBUCKS is another local hangout to enjoy the morning or meet with friends. If you like to watch or participate in roller hockey, tennis games, pickup beach volleyball, basketball, surfing, stand up paddleboarding and be right by the beach we think you have the best location in all of Maui. Kalama Beach Park (across the street) is the place to enjoy these sports or watch the action. We have enjoyed concerts from the lanai. Many local shops are within walking distance for those souvenirs the shoppers love to find. South Maui Gardens-Hidden Food Oasis of Kihei is located directly behind our Complex. Stroll the luscious shaded grounds, enjoy live entertainment, butterfly garden and delicious food. Several eateries and food trucks to enjoy. A few minutes away is Wailea, with upscale dining, shopping, golfing and miles of beautiful beach.
