About this property

KA'ANAPALI BEACH'S BEST KEPT SECRET - SEA SHELLS BEACH HOUSE – Sleeps 6+

Sea Shells is an updated and beautifully sprawling family-friendly beach front vacation home with a heated lagoon pool, new jacuzzi, powerful air conditioning, 3 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, all set directly on gorgeous award-winning sandy Ka`anapali Beach. NEW PHOTOS of new appliances, decor and furnishings are forthcoming, as the current ones do not do this luxury vacation residence justice. The west-facing home serves up glorious scarlet sunsets and dazzling moonsets, along with some of the island's best whale watching during the winter season. Ka`anapali Beach is perfect for long romantic walks, swimming, kayaking, snorkeling, sailing and scuba diving. In 2023, Maui's Ka anapali Beach ranked best beach in the US, and No. 10 in the world by TripAdvisor!

At Sea Shells, discerning guests will luxuriate in a contemporary styled and privacy gated home set on one acre of landscaped grounds with central air conditioning, a lagoon shaped freeform heated swimming pool, outdoor hot tub spa, chaise lounges and hammock, high speed wireless internet service, HD television service with AppleTV and streaming channels, surround sound in the great room, a hotel type of safe, office nook with a fax/printer/scanner, and an exceptionally well equipped entertainer's kitchen with abundant high-quality cooking, dining, and serving supplies.

The exquisite swimming pool reflects graceful palm trees which frame the garden. Swim under the stars at night by the light of tiki torches. We love this pool and consider it one of the most attractive and inviting of any vacation home in the islands!

The great room of Sea Shells Beach House opens to the outdoor patio and pool and has cathedral ceilings with two lounging areas in addition to an entertainment center with surround sound and new flat panel LCD television with premium channels, digital reception and Apple TV 4K. The kitchen is stocked with all new supplies and small appliances commensurate with luxury standards, including a Nespresso machine, coffee grinder, abundant service ware, wine glasses, champagne flutes, martini glasses, top quality cookware, and so much more to use and enjoy! In particular, we are fond of the new center-island wood table, expansive granite counters, dual dishwashers and sinks, and new Samsung French door fridge with ice maker/filtered water station.

Each of the 3 bedrooms has its own private en-suite bathroom and flat panel televisions with AppleTV. A convenient office nook provides a large desk, ethernet cable to hook into the high speed cable modem, office supply, fax, and brand new multi-function office machine. There are two laundry centers. Use of the two-car garage is available.

The single level design of Seashells Beach House provides very comfortable living for guests with limited physical movement. This property can be enjoyed by guests using a wheelchair although it is not specifically outfitted for special needs.

Just a few of the inclusive no-charge complimentary benefits provided are HD services, AppleTV and streaming channels on the televisions. Personal Concierge Service, parking for multiple cars, high speed wireless and wired internet access, local phone calls, mid-week housekeeping service (if renting at advertised rate or staying at least 7 nights, in-villa safe, tropical bath treats, and personalized in-villa greeting orientation. Unlike at many nearby hotels there are no extra "Resort Fees" charged!

A hop and skip from Sea Shells is a beach front kiosk which rents ocean sports equipment including surf boards, boogie boards, skim boards, Hobie cats and snorkel sets. During summer months jet skis may be rented in front of the Hyatt Hotel. A convenient beach front restaurant, Castaway, is adjacent to the kiosk serving breakfast, lunch and dinner in a casual beach front setting. The primary Ka`anapali Resort hotels as well as Whaler's Village Shopping Center and its many restaurants featuring live music on the beach, can be reached within 1-2 minutes by car or on foot if you hike some distance down the beach through the Sheraton Ka`anapali Resort, then along a paved pedestrian walking promenade that hugs the coastal beach. From the heart of Ka`anapali Beach hop on a sailing catamaran for a snorkel sail, scuba diving, or romantic sunset cocktail cruise. West Maui airport is minutes away for easy access from other islands. The recreational activities available within Ka`anapali Resort are endless.

Sea Shells Beach House is one of the very few legal hotel-zoned vacation rental homes on the island of Maui.

Sea Shells Beach House - A Gem on Maui!

Absolutely beautiful home in a superb location. Our family of 4 enjoyed the gorgeous pool and outside space....making it hard to leave to explore other parts of Maui. Kaanapali beach is just a few steps away - as well as a paved walkway along the shoreline. Restaurants and shops are located close by, however the lush landscape makes the home feel quite private. The house has a great layout and it is very clean and well maintained. Truly paradise!

Great Location & Impeccable Service

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. Because of COVID, Hawaii has travel restrictions. The property manager was extremely helpful in navigating the ins and outs of the process. We received a warm welcome, and our questions and concerns were answered immediately! The property was amazing for watching the sun set every night on the beach but was still very private. The landscaping was beautiful, and it was a joy to sit in the hammock under the palm trees. The home was beautiful. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked (you could host a gourmet dinner for 12 with no problem). There were nice linens and towels. One of the things that really sets this rental apart is all the "extras." The shampoo, lotions and soaps were luxurious. The welcome basket was amazing. And all, and I mean all, of the necessities were available. Coffee pods, cleaning supplies, paper towels, spices, Ziploc bags, foils/wraps, masks/sanitizer, makeup wipes, etc. I was so very impressed with all of the extra touches that this rental incorporated. I would highly recommend this property.

True Island Paradise!

Amazing, wonderful, perfect....these are the words that come to mind staying here at the Sea Shells Beach House. From the moment we arrived and were greeted to the minute we left, this was truly a memorable vacation. The home was well appointed, had everything we needed, clean, private and well maintained. In fact, since the beach was mere steps away and the pool was so lovely, we hardly left the house! We all agreed, we will be coming back!!!!

Great for a family trip

The house was nice, and right on the beach; we spent every day going back and forth between the ocean and the pool. We loved being able to walk up and down the beach for different restaurants. Hosts were very accommodating and made check-in easy. The only thing I would mention is that the speakers for the stereo/tv were completely blown and not really usable. Otherwise, this is a vacation I would love to repeat again soon.
