Quiet surroundings with fabulous views. Large windows. Close to pools and beaches. BBQ at poolside. Wish all units had BBQ's as part of patio's.
Needs a firmer bed. A little soft. Perhaps changing the foam topper will help. Also, property needs black out curtains in the bedroom, very bright at sunrise. Overall, the property is very good.
Great location and nice to have the Ritz available for use (the gym there is $25/day and needed given the raining conditions). Condo was within walking to the Kapalua Bay beach and great restaurants. Management company was wonderful!! Condo itself was old and tired and needed updating, so I wouldn't choose that same unit again, yet I would definately stay in the Villas again.
The property is wonderful, but having a property manager like Jake, made the experience so much easier. He checked on us to make sure we were secure and was helpful throughout our stay. Its so much nicer to have someone to contact if you have an issue. A+++
This is the best location in Maui! Kapalua is so chilled out and the beaches are fabulous. Kapalua Bay was our favorite and from the condo is a wonderful walking/running trail that we enjoyed everyday. The whales were going crazy and we could see them jumping from our king sized bed. We booked the trip with Jake and he was very helpful and professional. The condo was even better in person then in the pictures. We loved this place! There is plenty of room to share with another couple but we had it all to ourselves with our two little kids. Very kid friendly and comfortable. The housekeeping was very nice changed linens every 3 days and we used the laundry in the condo a lot too. The condo was well stocked with fixtures and dishes. The grounds are pristine and the condo is very clean. Kapalua is the best place to stay in Maui!!!
would definitely return!
had a great time!
Definitely the best location in West Maui, if you are looking for a more private vacation. Several beaches within walking distance, and they are all perfect.
Wonderful villa in a perfect location! Close to the pools on the grounds, beaches and snorkeling! Had to drive a bit to find nice places to eat but not a problem. You could also cook, or BBQ at the pool. Wonderful!!
Choose your villa carefully because they all are individually owned and vary greatly. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and we loved having privileges at the Ritz. Appliances were old but unit was very clean. The only thing we could not find in this unit was a knife to cut our pineapple. Otherwise, we were satisfied with this condo.
The only downfall is that we thought the unit was a downstairs unit and the master bedroom was upstairs and my mom the guest of honor had to sleep on the sofa bed because she can't climb stairs. There could have been more sheets and pillowcases made available since there were limited pillows for downstairs sofa bed and when I did find a pillow there wasn't a pillow case. View was great!
Due to unforeseen problems, we had to change our vacation at the very last minute and were fortunate to find this rental available for the time we needed. Jake was very helpful in getting us into the condo with two days to spare- we booked on Friday and were in our beautiful rental on Monday! The views from the unit were spectacular and the unit looked better in person than it did online. The pools and beach are just a quick walk from the unit. You can see whales in the channel from the lanai and upstairs sitting area and a sunset mai-tai can't be beat. The unit is quiet, clean and very comfortable. We are discussing our upcoming October vacation and Kapalua is very high on our list. Jake, thanks for a helping us get to Maui at the last minute. We will be back.
We stayed here for a week in March 2011. The views were beautiful and there were little extras like boogie boards in the closet and folding chairs for the beach. It's a little further away from the beach than I expected, but not too far to walk, just be prepared for several sets of steps. There is a GREAT trail to hike on, and I do mean hike for parts of it which is very easily accessible from the Condo parking area. We loved the little general store and would recommend this to travelers with older children and couples. We had a really great stay and the owner clearly pays attention to detail. This made our stay very pleasurable and we'd return if we had a chance.
I was very happy with the condo, I love Kapalua. Now that I know the layout of te condo's I would have preferred one closer to the water with a lanai that provided more sun and a better view however. We are already planning to return next February. I am looking for a 2 bedroom on the front side of the Bay Villas Bldg 26 thru 22 - are you aware of any rentals in those bldg's that might work. Thanks Barry Horn
The price was right 4 the location. Further back Bay Villa but we knew that going in. Still had nice view. A little noisy though. The "leaf blowing crew" was out for hours each day making sure not one flower petal was on the ground. 7th night free sold it for us. WiFi worked good too. Overall a good deal.
We loved the Units location in Kapalua. It was a beautiful view of the ocean. However, therewas a good view of the adjacent unit off to the right also. We were unable to have any privacy with the blinds to the ocean open. Otherwise we loved our time at this unit. And we felt that it was pretty much as described and the price was right.
Perfect location to walk down to a beach where you can boogie board - or walk a little further to a cliff to watch the turtles swim, or - the most perfect beach at the Ritz for the best of snorkeling! We were very happy for the price, condition, and hiking opportunities.
The Unit was well maintained, clean, has everything you need and much of the furniture looks updated from previous photos (tho could use a much firmer mattress..). The property manager was great to deal with and attended to a couple of minor issues immediately. It's a great location, quiet, but close to everything. Would highly recommend to others and would contact this agency again for a trip to Maui.
The location was wonderful. We had a nice view of the ocean. We often sat outside on the lounge chairs, relaxed and could even see the passing whales. The location is within walking distance to three different beaches. The Kapalua Villas has wonderful activities to participate in. The condo was clean upon arrival and we received fresh towels in the middle of our stay. We even got two beach towels. We would definitely recommend staying here for a wonderful vacation.
The unit needs a new bed. . . very uncomfortable. Kitchen was not very clean.
Great Location. Ocean View beautiful especially from bedroom upstairs. Easy 5 minute walk to all 3 beaches. Very satisfied especially for the reasonable rates. Appreciated the late check out on our departure day. The only thing lacking was additional bedding for the sofa bed and rollaway for my two boys. Overall, enjoyed our stay at the Bay Villas Unit 12G5. Love to return soon.
