Ma'alaea Mermaid #201 is by far the lowest-priced ocean-view one-bedroom FS condo in all of South Maui! At 700 SF with a 52 SF lanai, it is also the 7th largest 1B/1b in Kihei & Ma'alaea (at the time of listing) yet in the 2nd youngest building. The end-unit location means no walkway outside your bedroom window & the two extra windows = more light & ventilation. This renovated unit is tiled throughout (including the lanai), imparting the rich look of stone but with the inherent advantages of large modern ceramic tile. Additional upgrades include granite kitchen & bath counters, maple-style kitchen cabinetry, smooth ceilings (no popcorn), bedroom ceiling fan & a large window to the lanai replacing the dark & dusty wood louvers. The bathroom door is quite literally a work of art: framed in hardwood, a single translucent glass pane is transformed into a silent poem by a delicate bamboo painting inspired by ancient Chinese brushwork & calligraphy. Bamboo & tropical foliage etched into the glass tub/shower surround beautifully carry through the theme, transforming the bath into a spa-like retreat. Ma'alaea, the most convenient & central location on Maui, is a quiet, hidden gem with much to recommend it; "The Mermaid" is located just inside the small-boat harbor with legendary "Freight Trains" surf break just outside (rated #15 of the 65 best surf spots in the world by Men's Health Magazine!) & is across the street from Maui Ocean Center, Ma'alaea General Store & the restaurants and shops of the Ma'alaea Harbor Shops. You will love it here!
