About 188 Hale St Unit 3C
Where the Rainforest Meets the Sea - a Wailuku Haven<br><br>High on the hill above the ocean, tsunami and flood waters, <br>where the breeze carries the scent of salt, <br>there's a place; a fully remodeled, move in ready 3 - bedroom, 1.5 bath two-story unit.<br><br>Gorgeous lanai is a perfect place to entertain your family and friends.<br>The unit sits in Wailuku Park Townhouses, far enough from the road.<br>Yet just a stone's throw away, the town lives - schools, shops, and morning coffee<br>within easy reach, like old friends waiting just around the bend. <br>From here the land spills down into a green hush of rainforest on one side, <br>and to the blue ocean on the other.<br><br>The private parking spot just where you want it - no uphill battles, no long walks. <br>The sense of privacy is rare: a tucked - away feeling.<br>The HOA dues are simple and sturdy - they cover the bones and breath of the place:<br>water, gas, garbage, insurance, the water heater, the steady hand of an on-site manager.<br>It's a home that minds its own business and takes care of yours, too. <br><br>This isn't just a unit.<br>It's a pause from the world, <br>a place where the land and sea meet and wait for you to notice.
