What does home mean to you? For some, it is a place of sanctuary. It’s a quiet refuge from the world. For others, it is a gathering place. A place to bring together friends and family and create memories. 1780 Kauhikoa Road offers a little bit of everything. There are quiet nooks overlooking lush foliage ideal for quiet contemplation, but there is clearly one thing it offers in abundance. Fun. This place is a memory, smile, and laugh-making machine. It offers more fun per square foot than any home we’ve seen on Maui.
It all starts with the pool, which would comfortably fit at any of the island’s resorts. This is no sterile concrete pond surrounded by cement. Custom-built, it blends lush and tropical landscaping with whimsy, fun, and personality. The distinctive tiki head at the pool’s edge isn’t just a water feature. The top also serves as a jumping platform. Family cannonball contest, anyone? Right next to the tiki is a slide sure to give kids, grandkids, friends, and overage kids hours of smiles.
What self-respecting resort-style pool doesn’t have a hot tub to go with it? This one has an elevated position, plenty of room to hold up to 10 people, and a waterfall that overflows into the pool. Wellness-oriented friends and family will enjoy sweating it out in the poolside sauna. There is also an outdoor shower that blends seamlessly into the faux lava rock that surrounds the pool.
The lava rock-style deck offers abundant space for sun worship or to host a large gathering. A poolside fire pit is perfect for nighttime gatherings or those daylight gatherings that don’t seem to want to end when the sun goes down.
The tiki bar by the pool is an excellent spot for doling out drinks, serving food, or bellying up to the bar to swap tales of the cannon ball contest held earlier in the day.
Every home well-suited for entertaining needs a great kitchen. The kitchen at 1780 Kauhikoa Road delivers and then some. It is excellent for party prep or holding court during a gathering. An oversized Subzero Refrigerator, a Dacor cooktop, a GE double oven, a Miele dishwasher, a wine cooler, abundant countertop space for food and drink prep, a large central island with a butcher block top, custom monkey pod and bamboo cabinetry, and a Tiki Bar countertop seating area tie the theme of the home together.
The billiards room is another natural gathering space for entertainment. Watch the big game on TV between lining up your next pool shot.
Other notable features help make this home a mecca for entertainment. The wrap-around lanai provides a good space for friends and guests to hang out overlooking the grounds and the pool area. The open living dining room has vaulted ceilings and a river rock fireplace that can hold the masses if a passing trade wind shower disrupts the festivities. There is a large lawn where you can set up games or other entertainment. There is even a large photovoltaic system to help make sure that your merrymaking doesn’t lead to heart break when the monthly electric bill arrives.
Let’s also remember that this is Maui. The fun doesn’t end at home. There is plenty of space to store your gear for adventures around the island, including a huge board rack for surfboards, paddleboards, or maybe some foil boards.
