I loved the colors of the condo.
It would be nice if check out was a little later. They were pretty inflexible about that.
We had to fix ice machine because it hadn’t been maintained.
Beach chairs and umbrellas were nice, but access to cushions for uncomfortable outside chairs would be nice too.
Had to replace several light bulbs.
Lots of soaps available, but more shower gel would be nice.
Overall place is awesome, but just a little tweaking on maintenance would make it perfect!

The listing is very accurate. Great location in Kapalua. Modern and nice unit. Easy access to the ocean. Very spacious for a 1 bedroom unit. Easy parking. Comfortable bed. The grounds at KBV are very well maintained.

This unit has an amazing morning view of the sunrise. It was well equipped and very clean. Perfect for walking to the beach, it wasn’t a long walk either.

We stayed here with our 1- and 3-year olds. We rented a crib, toddler bed & other essentials from Maui Baby Rentals and had a positive experience.
I felt the listing very accurately represents the villa. It is quite spacious, with plenty of room in the bedroom for both a crib and toddler bed, and plenty of space in the bathroom living/dining areas. The bed is very comfortable and all the furniture is clean and modern.
One downside was that the bedroom door has a slatted door, so even slight noises from the common spaces can be heard in the bedroom. The kitchen was sufficiently stocked but was missing a few items such as measuring cups and tongs to use for grilling.
Other reviews have mentioned the shower/bathtub negatively, however, we felt that this was the perfect setup for getting sand off young children because we could easily stand in there with them.
It doesn't seem to be explicitly called out in the listing, so I thought it is worth mentioning that we received several pre-arrival communications stating that this management company doesn't grant any early or late check-outs. (We didn't need one this trip but sometimes with young kids it makes a world of difference in experience and our requests have typically been accommodated elsewhere).
The villa is very close to the stairs to the beach, which is great. 2 of the pools are also very close.
Kapalua Bay tends to very windy (winds were 20-30 mph every day during the stay) - something to consider when planning!

Property was as advertised. Great views. Comfortable but needs some minor updating & more wine glasses. We enjoyed our week long stay. Wish checkout was at least 12pm not 10am.

Kapalua Bay Villa is a beautiful, gated enclave between the Ritz and the Montage on Oneloa Beach. It has ocean views and walk out access to lovely patio, grass, and the uncrowded beach, as well as direct access to the Kapalua Bay Trail. Perfect! Without the crowds at Kaanapali or Napili. Outstanding snorkeling is just a couple of minutes away at Kapalua Bay. The condo itself is quite spacious and beautifully furnished, with tall ceilings and abundant light and views. There is a community pool and Bbq. We did have to ask for extra towels and bath mats, but Maui Paradise was very responsive. It may be time to replenish glassware and kitchen utensils- there are no bbq tools in the unit. Overall the stay was heavenly for two of us, but the pullout sofa could easily accommodate a couple of kids if ours weren’t away at school! I know lots of people like all the action at Kaanapali but we really prefer Kapalua. There are many fine resorts and restaurants to choose from - the bar at the Ritz, Plantation House, Sea House, Taverna, Sansei to name a few. We look forward to booking this one again!

Had a great stay and loved the property! Will be back, for sure. Brought our 2 year old and 7 year old. We rented a pack and play for the youngest to sleep in, and used the pullout bed in the living room for the other. So convenient to the beach, clean, comfortable bed, amazing views, all you need right there. Great service from the property management company when we noticed a broken beach chair—they were replaced within the day. Thanks for a memorable family vacation!

Very nice unit in a fantastic location with great views. Shower/tub was a little awkward getting in/out of but everything else about the unit was top notch!

Location could not have been better. Steps from the beach and walking paths. Near grocery stores and Lahaina. Condo and surrounding property is well maintained. Would definitely visit again.

The condo was in an amazing location. The Kapalua Bay Villas location is beautiful, you really get an upscale vibe when you enter. Really great view of the cove and beach which are just steps away, nice to watch unobstructed sunrises every morning. The condo was beautiful, well furnished and decorated. Our family of 4 fit well inside the unit using the king sized bed and the pull out couch. The whole condo was very comfortable, cozy, and relaxing. The AC worked great and allowed us to escape the heat.
I would give this unit 5 stars but there were a couple of items that are holding me back. The washer are dryer units did not work at the time of our stay. This was a huge disappointment as we packed less clothes because we anticipated on using them during our stay. The washer spin cycle would not work and left our clothes and towels soaking wet. We would have to ring out our clothes by hand and hang them in the bathroom. The dryer only seemed to work if you put one or two items in at a time. The next item, as a family, we feel needs to be mentioned is the safety of the shower. The shower is a sunken shower and you have to step down into the shower over a foot to get in. We all felt that every time we entered or exited the shower we had a great chance of slipping and falling. There are no safety rails or mats for hand holds or grip. Everything is just wet, slippery travertine. This definitely needs to be improved, anyone with physical disabilities would have hard time here.
Other than the sketchy shower, which I hoped gets some updates, and the washer/dryer which I am sure will be replaced at some point, I would highly recommend this property. The view is amazing and the location within complex is probably one of the best. Very close to the pool and BBQs. And you can walk out of the patio straight down the steps to the beach! The beach is pretty secluded and you really get a private beach feel. All in all, we would definitely stay here again.

This unit is beautiful & fantastic for a small family or couple. The view of the bay is just stunning, a short walk to the beach, and near zero light pollution at night (perfect for my fellow stargazers).
The entire unit has AC so you won’t be cooking in the bedroom at night. The bed is really comfortable as well.
Only issue with this unit was the washer. The rinse cycle doesn’t work and leaves your clothes soaked after the wash. (But definitely not a deal breaker)
