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.

We love this pool and consider it one of the most attractive and inviting of any vacation home in the islands!

We did it all. Your home is so comfortable to stay in. Only one problem with a place this spectacular - time flies by." "Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home. It looked wonderful online and is even more wonderful in person. It was paradise. A very big thank you to everyone" at Private Paradise Villas. "From the moment we inquired about the property till the moment we left the level of service has been outstanding." "Dear Owner, Thank you so much for providing us with such a beautiful backdrop for our family vacation. We don't want to leave. In fact the men are out on the patio 10 minutes to departure cold drinks in hand, refusing to leave. It was so wonderful to feel we could just relax here at the house rather than spend our entire vacation running around looking for excursions. Everyone found peaceful corners in the house to find solitude and yet the rooms were large enough for the whole group to gather in. We loved the kitchen and I think we will all be sad to go home to our smaller and less fancy kitchens. Thank you for sharing your home with us. It was an absolute dream." "We are feeling very sad as we prepare to leave your little piece of paradise today. We are from Indiana where a water view consists of the Ohio River. We love your home. You thought of everything in the kitchen. We love to cook and spent a lot of time doing so with the help of your perfectly stocked facility. The pool area is gorgeous. We felt like we were swimming in a hidden lagoon. The great beach access made it easy for us to go our separate ways when in the mood. Thanks for the books, the Hawaiian bath products, the music, beach equipment, tiki torches, hammock, and on and on. Heaven on earth!!". |
