THANKS GIVING SPECIAL,ANY CLOSER U'D BE WET,OCEANFRONT, GROUND FLOOR 25' 2 OCEAN

THANKSGIVING SPECIAL. ONLY $165/NT PLUS CLEANING AND TAXES ETC.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . WELCOME TO SUNSET CENTRAL! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

At Sunset Central YOU ARE SO CLOSE YOU CAN FEEL THE OCEAN! As soon as you walk into SUNSET CENTRAL you take a deep breath and start to smile. You are seeing the incredible ocean view and hearing the waves. SUNSET CENTRAL IS as nice as you hoped for. Why?

The old Cliché, "VIEW, VIEW, VIEW". We have of one of the BEST OCEAN VIEWS in Maui. You don't think about it but "NOT" having a pool or upper floor lanai railing, or anything in your ocean view, makes it as good as it gets. The view from inside the condo is great and the view from our lanai is even better. We have the perfect combination for a ROMANTIC stay. A quiet and quaint location, off the main road, stunning views, and soothing Pacific Ocean surround sound.

There is NO EQUAL to being GROUND FLOOR directly on the ocean. Carry your chair 25 feet to the small ocean sea wall and watch a 180 degree sunset at the sea wall. Does the drink you brought with you need a refill or you forgot your camera? No problem. A few steps back and you have it. Don't want to move 25 feet to the ocean edge? Just watch a sunset, sunrise, or the ocean from the very large lanai. The lanai has a ceiling fan for added comfort during the hotter months.

We have steps with access to our semi private beach for swimming and snorkeling. Please note that the stairs to the beach are less than 90' to the North. Access to the ocean is easy most of the time. Some of our photos show a large beach. During 2024 the tide changes resulted in the loss of the large beach most of the time. The last three photos show the more common size of the beach at low tide. There are times where there is no access to the beach, or only beach at low tide. To be determined is if there are any lasting affects from the small 7/30/25 tsunami from the Russia earthquake.

SUNSET CENTRAL faces directly West providing WONDERFUL SUNSET shows. During the year the sunsets move back and forth from the island of Lanai and Molokai.

The PICTURES, VIDEO, and RENTER COMMENTS tell it all. Please note that the video is over 15 years old. The photos show the numerous upgrades since then. Once selecting a pic, click on it for full size close up.

DECOR: Our goal was to make the family/dining room feel as large as possible even though it is larger than usual for Maui. Our tv/stereo and our dining table set are on one wall. The sofa sleeper and recliner are set up on the other wall. The result is a large open area in the middle of the room. We think we accomplished our goal.

SERVICE: We only have one condo to manage so we give 100% of our attention to you. Even though we can easily accommodate 4 people in our condo we only allow a maximum of 2. This is to minimize the wear and tear. This also helps us to make sure our condo is in good shape when you arrive. We have a large separate bedroom with a CA king size bed. A separate bedroom is nice compared to a studio that has that hotel type feeling. We do have a queen size sofa sleeper in the living room.

IMPROVEMENTS: Carpet 01/23. Recently painted the walls and ceiling. Bathroom remodel completed changing from tub to walk in shower etc. Smart TV in Family Room. Bose Play Bar added to TV for better sound and playing your music if you want from your blue tooth phone or I pads etc. We upgraded the FAN on our LANAI. This adds hours per day and night that are comfortable on the lanai. We also vented our washer/dryer unit to outside. Major feature! Less heating inside your condo. We have a portable A/C in the bedroom. The add cost to use is $7.00 for the days/nights used. Renters should let us know if the A/C was used and how many days after their stay.

POOL: Our pool is not oceanfront. See our photo. The pool would not be the main reason for renting our condo.

SUNSET CENTRAL is located between KAANAPALI and KAHANA.

Sunset Central is a legal HI rental unit. HI business ID = W58440575-01

Our stay at Sunset Central was amazing! The condo truly is RIGHT on the water. We had breakfast and dinner out there almost every day, and it was beautiful, with lots of turtles swimming by! The condo itself is very nice and there were so many amenities - all the kitchen necessities, beach chairs/umbrella, boogie board, beach towels, books, games, binoculars - you name it, it was there! The complex is very quiet. It's close to Ka'anapali Beach (5 minutes away), which was beautiful. There are lots of restaurants nearby, we couldn't have asked for a better central location. I would recommend this rental for anybody looking for a place to unwind and relax!

The location to the ocean was as described. We enjoyed this beautiful condo and its location in the Lahaina area. We had our own parking spot and a swimming pool very close to us. There were many extras provided like games, outdoor grill, outdoor patio area, and full kitchen set up. It was our oasis during our first trip to Maui. Recommend shopping close to airport before driving to Lahaina as groceries are more expensive.

We’re in love. Waterfront view, spotted rays the first night. Turtles every night after that. The most incredible sunsets and starry nights! The condo was just as described, had everything we needed for a comfy home base. Will absolutely stay here again - Ray is an amazing host! Please note some units are housed by locals - so please be respectful of time and noise rules. Overall an incredible experience, will definitely be back!
Turtles every afternoon right in front of the lanai.
Different, mind blowing sunset every night from the lanai.
Big Dipper each night right from the lanai. Beautiful!

Wonderful accommodations

Quiet oceanfront property with a view not easily matched. Condo was clean and met our needs for two adults. Location of the property is very close to many amenities, but not in the middle of a busy and noisy area. Ownership was easily to communicate with and was very responsive to our questions. Fitted sheet was small for the mattress, but definitely not an issue that would keep us from returning.

Piece of paradise

It is everything you want in your holiday and then some more. Waking up to beautiful, calm blue sea right by your lanai or a morning snorkel and hanging out with turtles by the private beach. Or cooking your fav tropical meal watching breakthtaking sunsets. What a week. Can’t recommend this place enough.Bonus: Coffee, bakery and food trucks at a walking distance. Bus stop right outside for a quick run to grocery store or beautiful bay at Napili.

Maui is always wonderful

We were certainly close to the water even though the beach was miniscule. The condo had everything that we needed. The furniture (sofa and recliner chair) needs to be replaced, but the bed was comfortable. The pool was right outside our bedroom window and was noisy in the evening while we were trying to sleep. Driving after dark was tricky for us seniors.

Great experience!

I loved everything about this place. It had everything I needed. The view is stunning and it’s right off the lanai. Ray was responsive and informative. The A/C was especially nice. Ten or more turtles were feeding off the barnacles right in front of the condo. Several of us were entertained for quite a while. I highly recommend staying here.

Worth every penny!

The place is amazing. The views and location alone are great. I was able to see a lot of whale activity off the lanai. Even saw 2 full body breaches on my last morning there. The sunsets are absolutely amazing. The condo is great. They provide lots of extras that were super great to have; boogey boards, beach chairs, a cooler, beach towels. I highly recommend staying here. The condo complex is nice and quiet and everyone is very friendly & helpful.
