About this property

Paradise Found! Top Floor, Beachfront, Oceanfront, Ocean View

Welcome to Paradise Found! Memories are made here!

Come, relax, unwind, and enjoy the unforgettable breathtaking, panoramic ocean views from EVERY room in our beautiful top floor direct oceanfront, beachfront Kealia Resort Condominium nestled RIGHT ON Sugar Beach, just steps from the ocean. This is NOT a side unit with a limited view! Magnificent expansive west facing view of the neighboring Hawaiian islands of Kahoolawe and Molokini Crater, a popular snorkling/diving spot, from the lanai of #603. Equally magnificent Haleakala crater view on front walkway. The Kealia Resort is a legal vacation rental condominium and IS NOT on the Minatoya List to be converted to long term housing.

Let the waves lull you to sleep every night. Feel the warm breezes and watch the swaying palms as you sip your favorite beverage or enjoy a bite to eat from your own private top floor lanai. In the winter watch the mother whales and calves frolicking and breaching. Let the sun's diamond reflections off the gentle Pacific waves mesmerize you as your body slides into total relaxation. Stroll along miles of sugar soft sand on Maui's longest walking beach. Mirrored walls envelop you with breath-taking ocean views. Kealia is the perfect quiet, private resort condominium for honeymooners, couples, seasoned travelers...anyone!

Next to the Kealia Nature Preserve, so no buildings for three miles to the northwest. Totally remodeled, in August of 2017 with all new kitchen cabinets, backsplashes, Silestone quartz countertops throughout, new sinks, kitchen, faucet, refrigerator, showerhead, linens, towels, kitchen utensiles, etc. We also repainted the entire unit. It's been professionally decorated with bamboo flooring, all stainless steel kitchen appliances (including a new 2023 whisper quiet dishwasher and high-end furniture and furnishings throughout, stripped and resealed tumbled marble tile in kitchen and bath, tub, vanity, vessel sink, huge, full-sized separate washer/dryer in the unit so you don't spend your vacation drying 2 beach towels at a time and totally updated to reflect more of a serene, romantic modern tropical feel. Our photos of the unit are updated in August 2017 after a remodel and show exactly what you will see when you arrive, with no surprises. We have a free state-of-the-art secured N+ wireless router for simultaneous video streaming/gaming on multiple devices like smart phones, computers or iPads, etc. The unit is fully stocked with EVERYTHING most people would want or need from all beach gear to spices, cooking utensiles and ALL paper and cleaning supplies, including those for the washer, dishwasher and bath/shower. We haven't forgotten anything! Both the living room and bedroom TV are hooked up to Spectrum cable and the bedroom TV has a digital over the air antenna if the cable goes down. In 2022 we even got a new high quality Sterns and Foster mattress and adjustable base with wireless remote control head and foot raising/lowering capabilities. We live in Kihei in case you need anything else to make your stay with us perfect. We are available 24/7. Your complete satisfaction is important to us. Our goal is to exceed your expectations. We 100% guarantee your complete satisfaction. We are very proud of the fact that we have many guests who return every year and we have the most booked unit in the Kealia Resort. We have taken great care to make 'Paradise Found' your home away from home.

Perfect for us

We've stayed at Kealia Resort before, but first time in this unit. From the communication with the owners, to the lovely welcome basket, it felt like home. Ocean view, steps from pool and beach. Everyone we met on the property were lovely. We are SO coming back, SOON!

Quiet location with amazing view.

Fabulous well appointed condo with easy access to airport and island destinations. Terrific private lanai to enjoy ocean views from sunrise to sunset. Beach is walkable for miles in either direction. Hosts are incredibly thoughtful and generous. Communication was responsive. Check in directions were clear and easy to follow. Late check out to accommodate a late flight was much appreciated.

Wonderful Honeymoon Experience in Kihei!

Sandy and Frank's condo was the perfect place to start our Honeymoon vacation in Hawaii! We didn't want to stay at a resort with so many other people especially around the holidays. This condo was the perfect spot for us! It's in a great location in terms of exploring the West coast and road to Hana and the beach was beautiful! You could go for a nice long walk during sunrise or sunset - it's not too busy especially after visiting the busy Waikiki beach! We enjoyed reading on the beach chairs provided by Frank and Sandy! We were lucky to see a whale swimming by quite close too! My husband and I enjoyed the views and meals we prepared to eat out on the private lanai! It was easy to cook or barbecue there! Other residents/guests in the condo building were also very friendly! We appreciated the thoughtful welcome package from Frank and Sandy with yummy local treats! The hosts explained the check in process very well and we had no issues with checking in. The underground parking was a plus! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Delightful, centrally located and relaxing

This top floor suite makes a great base for a Maui vacation. A long, flat walkable beach, well kept pool, BBQ area and waterfront make the experience beyond the room a most pleasant one while the well kept, very well appointed condo with welcoming hosts made our week long vacation on the island relaxing, and easy.

Perfect Condo!

Paradise Found was the absolute perfect place for our quiet Christmas getaway. The condo is small but feels spacious with the way it is set up. The decor is clean but comfortable and homey. It had everything we needed to cook meals with a few extra special touches from our hosts. The view from the lanai is incredible - we had our morning coffee, ate several meals, and played games looking out at gorgeous sugar beach and the Pacific Ocean. We will definitely stay again!

A Step Above

The owner went out of their way to make our stay outstanding. There were more amenities then listed on-line. Each nicer than the other. Without question it was the best equipped kitchen we've ever rented. It was setup perfectly for two people. Be aware that the rolling waves and feral chickens add to the ambiance of the location.

Paradise Found

This condo was everything that was promised in the VRBO description, but what really set it apart from the average rental were the owners Frank and Susan. The personal touch from the welcome basket with all kinds of goodies to the champagne with ice provided. Frank's quick response to any issues or questions was very helpful. The bed is superbly comfortable. The view was spectacular. I mean you are truly so close to the ocean and sparkling clean beautiful beach you feel you could almost reach out and touch it. If I could give more than five stars I would. Thank you Frank and Sandy.
