Wailea Ekolu

There hasn't been a split-level Wailea Ekolu Townhouse unit offered for sale for more than two years, and this rare ocean view offering spans 1489 square feet with private upstairs and downstairs entrances. With no common walls, no one above or below, a corner location, and unusual privacy off both lanais, unit 510 offers a measure of tranquility and privacy uncommon to the Wailea vacation rental realm. It's also optimally located: a few hundred yards away, Akamai coffee and several well-reviewed restaurants await, while the Shops of Wailea and the wonderful walking path are only a block or so further. Some of the view units at Ekolu are up the hill, near the highway, and too far to comfortably walk to Wailea's conveniences -- that's not the case with 510. Sweeping ocean views from the lanai and living area take in Molokini and Kaho'olawe and the majestic West Maui Mountains. The unit capitalizes on its uncommonly large square footage with vaulted ceilings, and abundant natural light -- every window frames another wonderful Maui snapshot. Greenery and tropical flowers envelop the unit, which features two lanais, and chilling split-system air conditioning throughout. Decorated in tastefully and contemporary beach tones and furnished a cut above typical vacation rental fare, unit 510 has earned over 120 5-star guest reviews as an ongoing favorite in the Vacation-net management portfolio. The upstairs is dedicated to open living area, kitchen, half-bath and expansive lanai. The two suite-styled bedrooms are nicely separated downstairs. With a coveted location, oversized living experience, amazing views, and upscale Maui vibe, this successful vacation rental condo is indeed a rare offering.
