Oceanfront Condo For Sale at Wailea’s Polo Beach Club

Karen Keefe, R(S) — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 04:20:46 +0000

New to the market, I had an opportunity to view this beautiful luxury condo (MLS# 350502) on tour yesterday in Maui. I was extremely impressed with the remodel work done and quality of the materials chosen.

Nothing in the world compares with being able to walk into your home and have a view of the sparkling blue waters of the Pacific Ocean, and that is what you see here. The condo features 1,321 interior square ft. with a large lanai overlooking the ocean’s edge. The lanai is large enough to cook, entertain, or just chill out by yourself and watch the sunset. This really is a special place.

Located on Wailea Beach’s south shore, this exquisite condominium at The Polo Beach Club is luxury on the ocean’s edge and is being offered for $2,795,000. This 2-bedroom floor plan has contemporary sophistication with Maui style. Awaken each morning to a sweeping panoramic view and the surf breaking.

With attention to detail throughout the condo, they have provided: custom bamboo cabinetry, concrete counter tops in the kitchen, and woodwork throughout. This condo is a must see! The beautiful Asian Pacific furnishings are being offered in the sale.

The Polo Beach Club

The Polo Beach Club offers 71 apartments, making it one of the smaller condominium complexes on Wailea Beach. This is a Fee Simple property that offers short term rentals in the complex and pets are allowed.

The Polo Beach Club stands alone as being one of the finest Wailea/Makena condominiums in Maui and was built in 1982. Located at the end of the boardwalk, it shares the beach with the Fairmont Kea Lani. Located 2 miles from the Wailea Ike intersection, it offers more privacy for the owner, but is close enough to stroll down the boardwalk to dinner at one of the fabulous hotel restuarants in Wailea.

This is truly a rare opportunity to own a 2-bed/2-bath luxury oceanfront condominium in Wailea, Maui. Please contact me at 808.268.1885 for more information about the condo, The Polo Beach Club, or Maui.

The Andaz Wailea Resort will have one of the best locations in Wailea fronting Mokapu Beach

“The opportunity to develop a world-class resort along one of Hawaii’s most desirable beaches is unique, and we are delighted to partner with Starwood Capital, a company with a long history of designing and building world-class hotel and resort properties,” said Hyatt Hotels Corporation President and Chief Executive Officer Mark S. Hoplamazian.

The preparations have begun and construction on the new $90 Million resort is anticipated to begin early in 2012

The Andaz Wailea Resort will be an exciting addition to Wailea’s collection of world-class resorts and visitors will once again have a chance to stay at a hotel fronting one of the most beautiful beaches in the world—Mokapu Beach.

The hotel, a joint venture of Hyatt and Starwood Capital, will feature 35 suites and 255 guest rooms in total, ranging from 456 to 2,321 square-feet. In addition, Andaz Wailea will introduce 6 four-bedroom lavish villas of approximately 3,500 square-feet.

A three course meal specialty restaurant
Several relaxing outdoor pools
A 15,000 square-foot spa
State-of-the-art fitness facility
