. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 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 safety rails, 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. No walking around your building(s), or down stairs and through hallways, or across streets to get to the ocean. Carry your chair 25 feet to the ocean edge 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. Do you want your condo to be on a beach for sunbathing, snorkeling or just plain walking on it? We have a new upgraded stair access to our little semi-private “Rainbow Beach”. Access to the beach is easy 90% of the time.

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. We also added mirrors on one wall. These make the room feel larger as well as providing an ocean view from almost any direction you are facing.

SERVICE: We only have one condo to manage so we give 100% of our attention to you and no amount of attention is too much. Even though we can easily accommodate 4 people in our condo we only allow a max. 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: New carpet 01/23. Recently painted the walls and ceiling. Bathroom remodel completed changing from tub to walk in shower etc. New 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. New CA King bed mattress 01/22. New TV in the bedroom. 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. When you have a washer and dryer you are not spending part of your vacation watching your clothes in a community facility.

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

Perfect location

What we loved best was the location. It was private and quiet and an easy walk both north and south to restaurants and shops. The water temperature was perfect for our daily swims but the highlight for me was the arrival of a couple of turtles right in front of our Condo. Very relaxing stay and loved Maui.

Welcome to Paradise

The views are stunning. From the ground floor lanai, you have unobstructed views of Molokai and Lanai, as the waves splashed against the sea wall. There was nothing better than just stepping out of the unit and enjoying the gentle breezes, as whales frolicked right before your eyes, while turtles basked on the sandy beach next door. The unit was clean and well stocked with basic vacation necessities. An added bonus, was not having to climb any stairs at the end of a long day, or lugging up suitcases. We even interacted with some permanent residents, they were very pleasant and welcoming. This is certainly a friendly place. All in all, it was an unforgettable stay in a unforgettable unit. Ray is certainly on his game and made it a very smooth occupancy. We certainly look forward to staying here again.

Excellent location, fine property

Any closer, you’d be wet really describes it all. Enjoyed a wonderful week of fun in Maui and relaxing on the lanai. Saw whales and turtles off the lanai every day. Comfortable condo. Good bed and shower. Nice friendly neighbors. We had friends staying in a Kaanapali condo over to enjoy sunset and they were amazed at the location. There isnt a fancy resort but a wonderful relaxing place with easy parking.

Beautiful views

We absolutely loved it here! The sunset was beautiful and being during the height of whale season, we saw so many right from or condo! We even saw turtles in the beach. This was the perfect, private, quaint place, close to restaurants, food trucks, and beaches. Very responsive... We had issues night one with the wrong wifi info and they texted us immediately. So easy to work with! Definitely recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Ray Walters

We (Ray and Connie) are from California. We love the outdoors and we especially love water and the sound of water from rivers, waterfalls, the ocean and even when it rains. When we like something we tend to keep coming back. Having a condo in West Maui is an example. Not a bad routine. We know you will love Maui too. Sharing our condo and hearing how much our guests like it is a benefit we did not know would come with our purchase. See for yourself by reading our renter comments.

Why they chose this property

Connie and I (Ray) visited Maui from California for the first time about 20 years ago. Every time we visited we spent some time looking at condos. The question was, Where to buy? South Maui (Kihei), or West Maui? The first requirement was to be right on the ocean. We preferred the famous West Maui side but there were very few available in our price range due to its popularity. Finally after several trips to Maui we came upon one in West Maui that was so close to the ocean and romantic that it would not let us go. The rest is history. Now we have a nice home away from home that we get to visit a couple of times a year.

What makes this property unique

Our condo is unique due to having one of the best views in Maui, our proximity to the ocean, our beach access, the small size of complex, being off the main road, and the quaint, quiet feel you get when staying there. The view right out to the ocean is almost 180 degrees with no pool or complex lounge seating in the way is unmatched. Although we have a large condo, over 600 square feet and could easily sleep 4 people, we only allow 2 as a maximum. The result is less wear and tear on the condo and greater assurance that it will be in great shape when you arrive.
