This was our second stay at this property and it was just as wonderful as our first!!! We love it. The location and views are fantastic, the condo is beautifully decorated. Convenient to everything in Kapalua. And Kim Marie couldn't be more helpful and kind. We very much hope to return in the future!!

This property was perfect from the furniture to the views to the location! Couldn’t have been better.

Love this spacious villa with incredible views and lanais off of every room. The main lanai wraps around the outer sides of the living room and dining room. The luscious tropical views are what you imagine Hawaii to be in your dreams. You could live in the two larger bathrooms!
Everything you need is provided; linens, kitchen etc..
The home is located in a quiet private neighborhood along the golf course and within walking distance to a beautiful beach. Both pools are just a couple minutes walk as well. Shuttling around the Kapalua neighborhood is a nice convenience too.

Overall our stay was nice. They were only a couple of small draw backs. There is a wedding chapel nearby. The party can be heard well into the night. Weddings are very popular in this area. It clearly states in the listing that the condo does not have air conditioning so this one is on me. It can be very warm and humid. I under estimated this. We visited in March. I cannot imagine staying there in the summer months. The condo has everything that you will need for your stay. The pools on the property were well maintained. Hope that you enjoy hearing the roosters crow. There are several in the area.

I've stayed at the Ridge Villas before so I was expecting the same quality/cleanliness as those units.
Toilet in the 2nd bedroom was clogged when we arrived, no TVs would turn on, the curtains were falling off the hooks & no AC. I hadn't checked since the units I stayed in before had AC.
Tried calling Kim at the numbers in the paperwork many times that night. Got a message that said she was not accepting calls at this time. There was no option to leave a message on any number given. So I sent a message in the VRBO app telling her how disappointed I was & did she have another unit we could be moved to. She responded the next day, said she just saw my missed calls that I should have left a message & the curtain was fine & she did not have a place to move us.(There was no option to leave a message & the curtains were not fine & very dirty too) She scheduled someone that day to come fix the toilet. She said AC was not in the amenities list (this was my fault, I assumed it did) & she said to follow instructions on how to turn on the TVs (very condescending). We had to reboot the box that TVs were hooked up to which wasn't mentioned in the instructions. She responded again and said that she had a family emergency & going to the airport & she hoped the rest of the stay was smooth. The toilet got fixed & the curtains were put back on their hooks that day.
The paperwork mentions ants. Not to leave food out & take trash out daily (we did at least twice per day). I missed the other reviews mentioning bugs. There were huge cockroaches & many centipedes we would find on the floors & kitchen counters. I didn't bother to contact her again about this because of her family emergency and condescending response in our earlier communication and not being able to move us.
Louvers have to be open for air circulation & there are issues with the screens not being tight/holes/missing(bug entry?). Carpets are stained & dirty. Master bathroom had crooked handles on the sink, faucet pullout sprayer housing in tub was not attached. Shower faucet housing moves around & shower has a constant drip which causes the shower floor be constantly wet & moldy. They have to know about this. Shoes aren't supposed to be worn inside. Our feet got very dirty walking on the floors. The things to do in area book is filled with outdated information.
When you pay the prices charged for this condo, you expect a clean, bug free stay. This is absolutely not what we received.

We came to get married and absolutely loved this condo! The views on the deck, the kitchen, the living room, the 3 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms were all clean and gave off a homey feeling. The first night, the totilets in 2 of the 3 three bathrooms were not flushing due to water being turned off? Anyways, I contacted Kim Marie and she sent over to Darren that same night about an hour late who fixed them and we had no issues the rest of the trip. The deck view is fantastic, but is a little bit of a walk to the beach. The condo does have a boogie board and multiple chairs to bring to the beach. We barbecued multiple nights as there are (2) Weber barbecues in the pool area two building down (super convenient). Overall, this place was what we expected and more and hope to be coming back sometime in the future. Thank you Matt, Bridget, and Kim Marie!

The Kapula properties are fine, but this particular first story unit is under constant attach from bugs.
We had to remove 20-30 worms each day from crawling up the walls and on the carpet. At last once a day a huge cockroach would run across the living room, eventually dying somewhere, presumable from bug spray. Also mounds of centipedes were continuously crawling in to the middle of the floor. It was pretty awful experience.
Secondly, even though beaches are close by, its a straight uphill walk back to the unit, and parking lots only have a few spaces and are always full.
The view from the unit is okay... the rest of the units in the area have a much nicer ocean view.
I would certainly not stay here again.

My family and I had an absolutely wonderful vacation here. We’ve stayed at many Ridge and Bay villas over the years, and this is definitely a favorite! Very quiet and peaceful location with lovely views. Beautifully updated and decorated. Loved that the villa is all on one floor, which allowed my parents the opportunity to join us as well. We hope to return before long!

We did many amazing things on Maui, but our family looked forward to returning to this villa at the end of each day. The pictures can't explain the feeling of relaxation and rejuvenation that hits you the moment you step through the door--the views are glorious and the breeze that circulates through the rooms is heavenly. We felt like we were in a small, unobtrusive community with easy access to pools and a less than 5 minute walk to one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. Oneola beach is at the bottom of the community driveway, and we saw no fewer than 5 weddings or wedding photo sessions taking place there one Saturday evening. The location is ideal if you want a breath of fresh air from some of the busier locations on the island. We'd also recommend the easy walk out to Dragon's Tooth cove or grabbing lunch on the Ritz Carlton properties across the street. In the Villa, our family of four had plenty of space to spread out, both interns of bedrooms and bathrooms, and places to sit with a book or cup of coffee. We invited friends over for dinner a couple of nights and also had plenty of room to host. The villa's decor was fresh, contemporary, beach-themed, and updated. The granite countertops and high end bathroom finishes were nice touches. We especially liked the vibrant, hand-stamped wallpaper in two of the bathrooms! Working with the property manager (Kim) was great--she was responsive and helpful. We will definitely be booking this villa again on future visits to Maui. It's our new "home" on the island, and we can't wait to step through the door and breathe in that "rejuvenation" again!

It was a beautiful property, and Kim Marie was so nice! She even communicated with me about a couple things after we left.

We so enjoyed our week at the Ridge at Kapalua. The condo was spacious, beautifully decorated and comfortable. It was wonderful having such a a lovely big unit with three bathrooms. We walked everywhere locally - the Honolua store for morning coffee, and local beaches for sun and snorkeling. Perfect spot to relax and unwind!

We stayed at this condo for our final week in Maui, after spending time elsewhere on the island. Overall the unit itself, the location and of course the weather, were all great. The condo itself is as described and pictured in the listing, with comfortable beds, ample space, and nicely appointed rooms.
The condo has a beautiful view over the Kapalua Bay Golf Course with The Ritz Carlton as a backdrop, and the ocean off to the left. Though there wasn't a direct sunset view from this unit (we visited in mid-January), the after-glow and moonrise was fantastic.
A word of notice though is for those looking to utilize the kitchen, while it is fairly well equipped with kitchen implements and tools, it has no 'basics' (IE salt, pepper, spices, etc.). While there were piles of basket coffee filters, the coffee maker requires a cone filter, which was not provided.
While the stay itself was wonderful, the entire trip was overcast by the unfortunate interactions we had with the managers/hosts of the property prior to our arrival.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continued to unfold during this time, the Canadian government issued a Travel Advisory, informing all Canadians that non-essential travel should be avoided at all costs. As such, we reached out to the property managers to see about some leniency in their cancellation policy (this travel advisory was put in place after the final deadline for cancellation and a partial refund was offered). After reaching out to the property managers, we were informed in a very unhospitable manner that there would be no considerations for Federally mandated travel advisories, and that we knew the risks when making the booking in summer 2020. While there are many layers to this situation, the manner in which we were spoken to, and the lack of compassion and kindness was completely off-putting. Working in the hospitality industry is a challenging experience at times, however it does not negate the norms of social kindness, courtesy and consideration expected from any establishment, especially paying the rates we were. Our options were to either forfeit our fully paid for condo (nearly $7,000.00 CAD), or take the risk and make the trip.
Clearly we decided to take the risk, disregard a Federally mandated travel order and go ahead with our trip as planned. While we are glad we did, the abrupt and unsympathetic communications with the property managers was completely uncalled for and could have been handled in a more profes

This condo has the most wonderful views of the ocean, and when we opened the louvered windows, we enjoyed a very relaxing and cooling breeze that filled each of the bedrooms, kitchen and sitting areas. Perched high above the golf course, the quiet views are what justify this location. It is only a 5 minute walk to a nearly vacant Ironwood Beach where we frequented on several sunset walks.
The kitchen has been updated in a modern style and is a very easy space to prep meals and cleanup for three or four guests working at the same time. The eating table was perfect for a family of five.
The bedrooms and showers worked well for us, and we also used the pullout couch bed.
The carport offers shade through the day to help keep your rental car cool. The best part is that there is no parking fees typical of the big resort condo developments.
Walking Pineapple Hill through the tall Cook Pines in the early morning sunshine is secluded and a great time to get the day started with exercise and reflecting on life during this 2.5 mile round trip route that can include a walk past the Honolulu Store and shops for a coffee or drink of water.
In all, this location was great for us and one we would likely use again. Enjoy!

This property is outstanding at many levels! First and foremost, the view - stunning from the deck, including on the gold course. Then the villa layout is just great with spacious rooms and beautiful kitchen. Everything you need, you will find at the villa. Also, the Ridge Villas is a beautiful, very well maintained community, very peaceful and well located. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and would love to be back; thank you!

This condominium was excellent for a family of 6! Very nicely decorated, two large bedrooms and 3 baths! lots of space so you are not stepping over each other and the view from the huge lanai is absolutely incredible. It has large table that everyone could have dinner at - including additional family members that were over for Thanksgiving Dinner! Furthermore, the beds were comfortable, and there was extra bedding for the pull-out couch in the living room. Our host was excellent - she sent information ahead of time, checked in to see how we were doing and was gracious enough to allow for a late check out (since there was no one coming immediately behind us). Furthermore, the Kapalua resort is absolutely beautiful; there are three beaches within walking distance and the coastline is breath taking. I would absolutely recommend this location and would stay here again.

We had such a lovely time at this terrific condo. The property had everything we needed for a memorable vacation. The owner was very hospitable. The views for the deck are incredible. The unit is clean and beautifully decorated. The location within walking distance or a shuttle ride to three of Maui's beaches and the Ritz Carlton was unbeatable. Thank you so much!
