ANY CLOSER U'D BE WET, OCEANFRONT GROUND FLOOR -25 ft 2 OCEAN STEPS 2 BEACH
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. The view is as good or better than imagined. Then you open the doors and the sound of waves magnifies. 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 warmer 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.
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 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 a hotel type feeling. We do have a queen size sofa sleeper in the living room.
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. We do not charge until the end of the trip and only for the nights/days of use. We do not agree with charging for A/C for nights not used or if not used at all.
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.

We loved our time here! Place was clean and literally steps from the ocean. We watched whales, sea turtles, amazing sunsets. This place had everything we needed. We would definately stay here again.
It was perfect for a few night stay. You are feet away from the ocean. The home had everything that we need to cook meals, comfy beds and beautiful views.
This place was perfect! Just right for a couple's getaway! We enjoyed the view, the sunsets, the whales, the turtles and some dolphins right off our lanai. So relaxing!
We loved our stay. The location was beautiful and right on the ocean. We saw turtles daily! Very close to numerous beaches and great food (especially papi’s cinnamon rolls). ByuchThose were delicious and highly recommend.
Quiet oceanfront property with a view not easily matched. Condo was clean and met our needs for two adults. Location of the property is very close to many amenities, but not in the middle of a busy and noisy area. Ownership was easily to communicate with and was very responsive to our questions. Fitted sheet was small for the mattress, but definitely not an issue that would keep us from returning.
Easy 5-star review! The location, step-up, and host communication were excellent! We would love to stay here again! The sunsets were a highlight each evening.
Very comfortable and well maintained condo was perfect size for hubby and I. Beautiful view from living room and outdoor patio. Condo well stocked with beach and kitchen necessities. Owner, Ray, very quick to respond back. Bed comfortable, shower good hot water pressure. Private luttle beach and luttle pool very clean and cool. We will be back!
We loved our stay! The view was breathtaking and the location was great. The condo had everything we needed, even binoculars to get a good look at the turtles on the beach! Enjoyed seeing turtles every time we swam by the condo. We hope to stay again.
My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful stay. This property is incredible. So peaceful and quiet. I would stay here over any 5 star resort on the island. Will definitely stay again!
We had a most enjoyable stay in Maui at Sunset Central where the sunrises and sunsets were unique each day. We saw many rainbows and turtles, loved sitting and eating dinner on the lanai, and just enjoying the beauty and relaxation.
Excellent location on Maui's west side between Kaanapali and Napili areas. Enjoyed the unexpected inclusions: a pair of beach towels, beach chairs and boogie boards! tons of beaches Loved the patio area for hanging out and watching for spouting whales..Small beach area at the end of the building and many other beaches all around in west Maui. Book it!
We really enjoyed our stay at sunset central! The location was perfect! Sea turtles on the private beach just about every day and is also a great place to snorkel. We'd definitely stay again! Mahalo! We're praying for Maui 🙏 Aloha 🌺
This was our second stay at Sunset Central. 25 feet from the ocean. Whales ans turtles from the lanai ! Coffee a walk’s distance. We can not wait to be back !
The place is amazing. The views and location alone are great. I was able to see a lot of whale activity off the lanai. Even saw 2 full body breaches on my last morning there. The sunsets are absolutely amazing. The condo is great. They provide lots of extras that were super great to have; boogey boards, beach chairs, a cooler, beach towels. I highly recommend staying here. The condo complex is nice and quiet and everyone is very friendly & helpful.
This is definitely an amazing spot to stay for that waterfront and the sound of the waves. We spent every morning and evening we were there out on the lanai listening to the waves crashing. We were there between two tropical storms so it was too cloudy for those sunsets, but still gorgeous. It was nice and close to lots of different spots to eat/visit and we like staying up that far north because we can avoid having to drive up and down the two lane freeway our whole trip. The Plantation House and Hula's Grill were two places we really enjoyed.
We have never stayed at a vacation home where we would actually choose to forgo a nice restaurant for dinner in order to pick something up so we could hurry back before sunset and eat on the pristine lanai after a day of exploring. Everything we needed and more was provided at Sunset Central. We have fallen in love and hope to return very soon.
Living in Nevada, we don’t get to hear waves breaking upon a shore line so we just loved sitting on the lanai and reading our books while listening to the waves breaking! And, from the lanai you could see turtles pop their heads up for air! Pretty awesome! The unit was also nicely furnished and corresponding with the owners was easy.
It took 25 yrs., but we're back. We had our honeymoon on Maui and couldn't wait to get back now celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. The condo was in a perfect location. Close to shopping, dining and beaches. The views are spectacular. Everything was provided for the beach and cooking. Neighbors were friendly and helpful. Thank you for letting us share your piece of paradise. We're already planning a trip for next year.
The condo was clean and quiet and the view was spectacular. We were able to see whales every day from the lanai. Turtles (mostly one but one day two) were on the beach every day, and you could see multiple in the water just off the beach. Short drive to many restaurants and other beaches and we walked to both Times supermarket and the Food Trucks across the street multiple times during our stay. We would definitely recommend staying here and would stay again if we come back to Maui.
