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.

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.

Amazing sunsets and turtles!

Amazing sunsets every night and access to snorkeling with turtles from the condo. It had everything we needed, grilled fresh fish every night. Not an huge issue, but kitchen gets hot while cooking and doesn't cool down quickly. Would stay again.

Cozy, comfortable and convenient!

We had a lovely and relaxing 5 days in this comfy condo. It really is just steps from the beach, and there really were seals and turtles lounging on the beach! The lanai looks out on the waves, and we could see whales spouting in the channel between Maui and Molokai. And, there were beautiful sunsets every night! We would be happy to stay at Sunset Central next time we’re on Maui!

Our stay Sunset Central left us speechless. Our favorite part was the view from the Lanai. We spent every morning drinking coffee and reading outside, enjoying the views. Ray was an excellent host and made our stay easy and stress free. Everything was organized, clean and we were given so many great recommendations for things to do/places to eat on the island. We will be back to Sunset Central - hopefully sooner than later!!!!
