Location: Ridge at Kapalua, Kapalua, West Maui, Maui, Hawaii, USA (Kapalua Resort is approx 45-minutes from the Kahului Airport) View Map
Accommodations: Condo, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 3 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
Keywords: Single level, large Villa at Kapalua
Our home is located in Building 28 at The Ridge. It is one of the 4 best located buildings at The Ridge. The Villa has 2-bedrooms and 3-bathrooms on the ground level. There are no steps to contend with getting to the Villa or inside. This is ideal for young kids or for those with a disability. Of course, this is also ideal for all others. The master bedroom contains a king size bed with an adjacent private enclosed lanai. You can hear the waves crash as you fall asleep each night. The Villa was very recently renovated and is beautiful in every respect. Both bedrooms and the living room have high-definition, flat-screen televisions. The living room also has a DVR. Each television has at least a DVD player and the second bedroom also offers VCR capabilities. There is a large wrap-around balcony off of the living room which affords world class views of Molokai, the beaches, the Bay Course, the Plantation Course, the Ritz-Carlton and the West Maui Mountains. We offer free long-distance calling (within the US) and also free, secured, wifi internet access. Please take a look at the video as well as the still photographs.
It is perfectly situated within the resort. The walk to the Kapalua Beach is under 5 minutes. As well, you can easily walk to D.T. Fleming's beach, Napili Bay and Oneloa Bay. The Kapalua Resort offers a free shuttle throughout. The snorkeling and diving is superb.
For golf, the Kapalua Resort has two 18-hole courses. The Bay Course and also the world-famous Plantation that is a challenge for even the best golfers. The Plantation is the home of the PGA's Hyundai (formerly Mercedes Benz) Tournament of Champions and The Bay Course was the home of the Kapalua LPGA Classic. The Bay Course is not as challenging as The Plantation, but still offers a wide variety of shots and many breath taking vistas. The Kapalua Golf Academy will give the avid golfer a chance to tune up their game. AS A GUEST OF MY VILLA, I CAN PASS ALONG TO YOU THE RESORT RATE WHICH WILL SAVE YOU $50 PER PLAYER ON THE PLANTATION COURSE AND $25 PER PLAYER AT THE BAY COURSE. IF YOU ARE A GOLFER AND WOULD LIKE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE SPECIALS, DON'T FORGET TO ASK ME.
The Kapalua Tennis Club is also a very short walk from our Villa. There is a community pool available immediately outside and in the pool area are gas grills for cooking.
The Kapalua Resort has 100 miles of trails planned from the mountain ridge to the coastline for walking, hiking and horseback riding. You'll find trails for all hikers and they weave a diverse tapestry throughout the resort's land holdings. The Coastal Trail offers a unique chance to wander along the coast through different terrains. We think it is a great way to start a morning.
All in all, this offers a great value for a memorable vacation. Don't pay the high prices from the Kapalua Villas or other rental pools. This is the EXACT same type unit as they offer at a fraction of their charge. The Villa will be clean when you arrive and cleaned when you leave. If you would like additional cleaning, it is available at an extra cost.
There is a reason why Kapalua is world famous. It is a gorgeous spot and one that all ages will enjoy.

Year Purchased: 1988
Why the Owner Chose Ridge at Kapalua
We had visited Hawaii several times since 1982. Of all the wonderful Hawaiian resorts, Kapalua offered the best combination of fantastic snorkeling, safe and fun beaches, all levels of dining very close by, and world class golf at both the famous Plantation Course and the Bay Course (both are or were formerly home to PGA or LPGA events). When we saw this particular one, we had to get it. The views are unsurpassed, the location of the Villa offers privacy not available elsewhere and the layout is perfect.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
I am an avid golfer, snorkeler and scuba diver. The bays at Kapalua are terrific for both. The resort offers two championship golf courses. The Plantation is home to the Hyundai (formerly Mercedes) Tournament of Champions and The Bay Course formerly hosted the Kapalua LPGA Classic. Also, Napili Bay is within a 2-minute drive or 5-minute walk. Kaanapali is about a 10-minute drive and Lahaina is 15 minutes. Between those places you can find all sorts of dining at all price points, types and qualities.
This is a fabulous place to snorkel. Because of the reef guarding the beach, there are no waves at all.
Owner's Map of Ridge at Kapalua
When I was married, my wife and I fell in love with this particular Villa. We looked at many others in Kapalua and when we saw this one, we knew we had found our perfect match. Although we are no longer married, we share ownership and she is responsible for most of the lovely decor you will find. I think she's done a great job!

We had a great time here. Plenty of space and very comfortable. We saw whales everyday from our balcony. The kitchen has everything you need and makes it very easy to make meals in, as well as, being close to many nice restaurants. I would recommend this to anyone.

My husband and I had a pleasure of staying at this beautiful condo in November of 2011. This was our fifth stay at Kapalua and we both agreed that it was the best! We absolutely loved this spacious, clean and well appointed condo with more than 180 degree ocean views, perfectly equipped kitchen, beautiful furnishings, easy access to the beaches and swimming pools. We stopped at Costco on the way to the villa and bought everything we needed to cook some fantastic meals. Great four-star restaurants, Merriman's and Pineapple Grill, are located within walking distance. We loved the Sea House restaurant on the beach. It has great happy hour drink, food specials and fantastic views. We loved to sit on the balconies often to enjoy the views and the sound of the waves. Both Kapalua Bay and Napili Bay are a short walk away and are great for snorkeling, whale and turtle watching. Yoga classes at Karlton Ritz and eight-mile long Kapalua Resort hiking trails through the woods in the mountains were our discovery on this trip. This was truly our best vacation ever and we didn't want to leave. We can't wait to come back again next year as we now have found our favorite place to rent in Kapalua. Thanks a Million to Peter the owner for sharing your awesome villa in paradise... we'll be back!!

We have been staying in west Maui for over 10 years in our Hawaii vacations, but I have to admit this Villa was our best stay. Fabulous Ocean view from all rooms and comfortable setting was such delight. I have to say I think the photos don't really justify this gorgeous place. Peter the owner was very friendly and helpful. We live in northern California. My sister and her husband were visiting from Europe, so we shared this Villa for our Maui vacation, great value for the very nice place. All of us had unforgettable memories from the place and our stay. The Villa's location is so convenient. Steps away from best beaches like Kapalua beach, and world known restaurants like Sansei Japanese, and Merriman's. You can indulge and not to worry about driving back!! Most of our activities were walking distance from the Villa, not to mention that we did so much of hiking and jogging around Kapalua. Two Thumbs Up for us.

Upon arrival everything was imacculate. The view was stunning. Condo was perfect in every way. We couldn't believe such quality at such a reasonable price. Much nicer than more expensive rentals. Our daughter got married in Maui and our accommodations at the Ridge were beyond our expectations. We plan to return to Maui for our next vacation and plan to stay again in this condo. Wouldn't consider staying anywhere else. Aloha and Mahalo from Beaumont, Texas

This is a wonderful Villa. The views are just spectacular and the pictures on VRBO just don't do it justice. The condo is very spacious - much bigger than we actually needed. There are large closets in each bedroom. The kitchen is fully equipped with nice pans and utensils and the barbecue at the pool was particularly nice for us. We loved sitting in the living room and watching the waves hit the shoreline. The master bedroom has a great enclosed lanai with a phenomenal view of the bays. Peter (the owner) was very responsive and helpful and his assistance was very useful. All in all, this was a great place and I highly recommend it. The next time I go to Maui, I will definitely try to rent this Villa.

We have been staying at the Kapalua Ridge over the last 25 years. Clearly we love Kapalua. This was our first time to rent this unit. It was by far the nicest we have ever rented. The view as you enter is spectacular! This home has all the amenities you could possibly need during your stay. The kitchen is gorgeous and the upgrades are tastefully done. It is conveniently located to the pool, yet, quiet. Peter included a nice package of recommended things to do. From that we discovered amazing hikes that were new to us. Our "must do" list keeps growing. You will not regret staying here. We will be back.

Our family of 5, 2 granddaughters 7 and 10, their grandmother and parents, spent a week at the villa. It was the vacation of a lifetime and what a beautiful place to spend it. Everything was as promised and more. Peter was always a phone call or an e-mail away to promptly answer questions and provide advice. One place we enjoyed but haven't seen mentioned is the Times Grocery. I would and have recommended this property to anyone wanting a beautifully appointed rental in Maui.

Amazing Views, Amazing Place

Stayed here in late March / early April. The place is as advertised, and then some. Where to start? Very large unit, 2 bedrooms, 3 baths, walk in closet, living room, dining area, beautiful kitched, granite counter tops .... more room than my family needed, but great to spread out on a vacation. The views ....incredible. Wrap around lania, two smaller ones (off each bedroom). Loved just looking out at the Ocean, other island, the occasional whale spout in the distance ...... very nice. Appointments - Flat screen tv's with cable, on demand viewing options .... kept the kids entertained while packing or unpacking. Small washer and dryer, nice to be able to wash select clothes as needed. Oh, and don't forget to check out the closet in the 2nd(?) bathroom .... was well stocked with boogie boards, swim toys, sand toys .... all left behind by previous guests, but nice to have them. Pool - not "private" for this unit, but there is a very nice pool 50 yds from the door of this unit, for use by the condos. Never saw more than 5 other people at the pool, and very nice for mid-day breaks. By the way, also has two very clean, very nice Weber grills down there .... couple nights just walked down to the grills and cooked up some burgers, chicken, and marinaded Mahi Mahi .... good way to relax and save a little. Beaches: Walk to the beach in front of the unit (4 minutes?), for a nice walk on beach. For more fun, take a little bit longer walk by the Ritz, and there is Flemming Beach. Has to be one of the top beaches in the islands. Inventory - Place is well stocked - towels, dishes, utensiles, toys .... even had a road to Hana self guide CD on the desk (although we didn't use). Location - Far North side of the island - in the upscale area. 15 min drive to the main strip places, butquite and classy on the North side. It was a bit windy, but mark down to time of year and didn't bother us at all. Couple of Tips: Stay here, nice unit, really enjoyed the Vacation. Cruises: Trinity Sailing does a fantastic tour package, a litte more, but they do a great job. Save a few $$ on dining? CJ's diner - great food from a strip mall location, at good prices. Whaler's Village: Upscale mall, but has a free Museum and local shows some evenings. Very nice dining at Cane and Taro, had 50% off Tues/Wed from 5 to 6. Worth it, and they validate parking. If you visit the aquarium, the restraunt there is worth a stop (lunch only). In gernal, great vac, great condo. Owner was very responsive.

Arrangements for renting the villa were simple and the owner was most responsive providing helpful info. The view could not have been better. The villa was spacious and quite comfortable with tastful Hawaii decor. All the basics were provided including wifi. Very short walk to beautiful beaches, golf or dinner at Merrimans or Ritz Carlton. You will not be disappointed with this villa. I would rent again.
