This is such a lovely property. Nicely decorated and comfortable with a full kitchen and laundry. Very spacious. It has a quiet secluded feel and absolutely breathtaking views just from the back balcony. A perfect way to wake up and enjoy a cup of Kona coffee! Close walking distance from restaurants and shops and the beach. We've stayed at resorts before, but there is a certain freedom to staying in a rental property. I'd highly recommend this place in the future. Just breathtaking.

The property was excellent and everything was as advertised! The host Peter was very responsive and provided a great welcome packet with all the information we needed. I would highly recommend this condo for families or groups or adults.

The host was very easy to communicate with. The place is amazing, very spacious, great amenities and the balcony is the gem of the property. The views are unreal, you can watch surfers all say and whales all day. If you have a great camera, you are into video and imaging, bring your gear and sit on this balcony, you wont be disappointed, we got great shots of whales breaching and surfers doing their thing. Truly impressive property grounds as well.

We enjoyed 4 days at this wonderful condo in Kapalua. Everything was clean and high quality, as described in the listing. Our only hangups revolved around communication with the owner...he never responded on our request for a late checkout (8 days notice) to let our infant get a full nap in.

We loved staying here. The views are incredible and you can see whales from the lanai. Easy to walk to the beach and trailhead. Most restaurants are in Lahaina which is about a 15-20 minute drive. Would absolutely stay here again!

Great location to be able to walk to all our favorite spots in Napili and Kapalua. Ideal condo location for the pool and barbecue common area. There were a few snafus however the homeowner was available easily and responded quickly and had everything taken care of in timely manner.

Our family loved our stay at this beautiful condo in Kapalua. We chose to stay here at the end of our trip to Hawaii and were thrilled by all the beach options so close to this home. We spent most of our time snorkeling on Kapalua Beach or walking/boogie boarding on nearby D.T. Fleming Beach Park. The close proximity to stores (and coffee) at Napili Plaza was very helpful. As for the home, it was expansive, had a gorgeous view, and a floor plan that worked for our family of four, which includes two children under the age of 12. Overall, we highly recommend this property!

A great location in the Kapalua Resort Area. The villa was very spacious and the views of the ocean from the family room and primary suite were beautiful!! And the complimentary shuttle around the resort area was so convenient.

Some of the most amazing views. It was breezy all the time during our stay up there, but wasn’t a problem for us. Very clean and was everything as advertised! Internet connection was not good, but we spent very little time in the villa and didn’t need it. Really don’t need to add anything else. We really enjoyed our stay!

So happy with our choice to stay here. Beautiful home; amazing views. Well stocked. We fell asleep each night listening to the waves breaking in the distance. Fun to see the whale spouts, flukes, flips and splashes from the lanai. Mahalo, we'll be back!

February 2022
We loved this place very much. It was beautiful, the views were amazing. Watching the sunrises and whale watching from the lanai was devine. There was lots of places to walk to.
I will say that there was only one large bed in the main bedroom. I believe there was a pull out bed in the living room but we never used it. The second bedroom had two squeaky twins so not suitable for another adult couple (we pulled the mattresses off the box springs and laid them on the floor instead). There were also security lights that turned off at 2am (totally great for people coming late), but because the shades covering the window in the second bedroom were broken we had to wedge a full towel in the window to cover the light at night. Sprinklers right outside the second bedroom went off at 230am one night and totally woke me up and caught me off guard (I actually thought we were in a crazy rain storm).
The kitchen was amazing and very stocked, which was greatly appreciated. The telescope that was there was perfect for whale watching.
Would love to come back to this place but only if I convince my other adult friends to take the squeaky twins so I can get the main bedroom.
Jen B.
February 2022
We stayed in late January and oh my gosh!! the whales we saw! The condo was perfect, other then the second bedroom being twin beds, but hey- not gonna let that ruin our trip! My husband and I made Ricky and Lucy Ricardo jokes the entire time. Yes we did ask for them to be made into a single bed, but it didn’t happen and what you gonna do? Don’t sweat the small things!! This condo is perfect for couples, nice kitchen, excellent views, the beaches are outstanding and the beach hiking trail was our favorite. Although it’s a little drive to the popular restaurants and shops, you seriously won’t mind!!

The property could be really special. But the place doesn’t have on island mgmt and it shows. The apt needs a good deep cleaning. Not just a wipe up and tidying up, but a top to bottom scrubbing. Clean the dirt on the windows, the bath tiles, the cobwebs, etc. The kind of thing an on site manager would see and have done. A freshening up would really help too. The whole place hasnt been updated it seems in a while. Not to mention we walked into a filthy apt at 630 at night and had to stay in a hotel the first night. The owner did refund us one night charge. Its a shame because the place has loads of potential. If all you are interested in is a great ocean view, you might like this place, but there are lots of great views in Kapalua.

Great location - about a 10 minute walk to three distinctly different beaches (one for snorkel and calm, one for waves and few crowds, and one sandy bottomed for boogie boarding and swimming).
Outstanding views - north to Ironwood Beach and Honolua Bay, and west to Molokai. Expect a few rainbows too! Great views from inside, as well as from the deck.
Well equipped kitchen (but fridge could use an ice machine, pick up a bag of ice at the store). Basic spices, cooking oil, paper towels, dishwasher soap ... it's all there.
Comfy beds, lots of towels (including beach towels), and shampoo, conditioner, body gel. Plenty of bathroom options (2 and 3/4 baths, and two bathrooms had double sinks).
Has AC (and it works), but didn't need it. Sliding doors have a locked "open" position, and ample vented windows (all with screens) took advantage of the breezy location (in November, occasionally too much breeze!)
Owner was very responsive on first day, when we had a few minor repairs to report. On-site crew was there that day to make the fixes.
Note that the unit is just above the lower Kapula road, so there can be a little road noise, but it is only intermittent, and the sound of breaking waves, and the breezes, made it barely noticeable. The unit is on the ground floor, but the deck feels like it is up a level, given the slope.
Nice pools, all with impeccably clean grills for your use. Nice option to have if you don't want to make the trek down to the beach. One pool is literally 100 steps away. And usually uncrowded.
The neighborhood is low-rise, and pretty quiet. A great retreat after a day of active adventures!

This condominium in a beautifully landscaped compound had amazing 270 degrees of ocean views with Molokai in the distance. It was the most spectacular scenery we have ever had in a place we have stayed. The unit is very spacious and roomy, and extremely comfortable, attractively decorated and very quiet. Lovely pool just next door. We hope to be able to stay again soon.

This place is stunning. I could sit on the lanai all day and just stare at the unbelievable view. A new rainbow appeared everyday. The pool is right next door and was great. We utilized the grills to cook in and enjoy the property. The trails over the beach provide a stunning cliff walk. The beach across the street has turtles everywhere. We were so impressed and can highly recommend this place to anyone. Beautiful location. Also highly recommend MaLa restaurant on Front street about 15 minutes away. Great little sea side tavern with incredible food and service. Hands down fish and tuna bruschetta we have ever had.

Really enjoyed our stay. Great layout for our family, clean, well equipped kitchen, access to grill, etc. It can be a little windy in Kapalua, but sunny weather and no wind is always right around the corner and a little south.

The pictures are accurate but you will be even more impressed when you step inside. My first concern was AC, this place had AC, we used it and it worked great. However, I don't know if it was the time of year or not but there was a cool breeze everyday and evening we were there and we would have been comfortable without it. The bathrooms were huge and the condo had plenty of room for 5 adults. Parking is right outside the door, pool right around the corner with a couple of grills if you want to cook out. You can't see the pool because of the landscaping so there are no distractions. Peter has thought of everything, toiletries for every evening we were there. Plenty of pots and pans and utensils. There was also plenty of detergent for the washer. Plenty of towels, including beach towels. The view, even better than the pictures show. I sat out on the lanai every evening before bedtime just to listen to the ocean. I cannot say enough good things about this place. I am already checking the calendar to see when we can make it back.

Immediate impression arriving at night was how clean and wonderfully appointed the condo is. (I'm picky!) As the sun rose, we knew we had chosen the ideal spot for out vacation. Fabulous view and vista. Spotted a dozen whales from the sofa! The balcony produced even more sightings. The kitchen is well organized, stocked with food basics (thank you for making sure we had morning coffee!) and quality cookware. Whatever we needed was available. Location within Kapalua is very convenient and quiet yet only 5-10 minute walks to 3 exciting beaches, plus the spa and activity of the Ritz, a small store and restaurants. Pool only a few steps away. The whole family agreed we would go back. Thank you for making us feel special and well cared for. Maholo!

Peters property has all the Maui feel, it’s peaceful with breathtaking view of Pacific Ocean, everything you need is so close by from beaches , grocery stores , activity areas I would recommend this property all the time, even I will definitely stay on the same place whenever I will visit Maui.
Only thing I would say pictures don’t do justice how big and beautiful peters property is.

We checked in at 9:00 PM on Friday night.. To our surprise, the unit was not cleaned. Bed sheets and towels were not changed, unwashed dishes in the sink, rubbish in the trash cans, etc. I contacted the owner who apologized and said he would have the unit cleaned the next morning. He also mentioned that he would refund our fee. The unit was cleaned the next day. He followed up with a call the next afternoon and again mentioned he would credit me back the fee. I told my buddies there would be no charge. We checked out Sunday morning. I checked my credit card account. No credit is showing. I followed up with the owner on Wednesday, but still no refund. Since it's been a week since we first checked in, I am resigned that the refund is not forthcoming, and I will have to contact my friends to pay their share of the costs.

We stayed at the Ridge Villas in Kapalua; #2812. The place was very nice, with incredible views. Our family of five were very comfortable in the space, well appointed amenities made our stay even better. Every morning I looked forward to walking out on the patio to take in the views of distant islands of Molokai, Lenai and all the flora and fauna of Kapalua area. Our trip was one to remember for a long time..Kapalua Bay beach was awesome with clear waters, coral and colorful assortment of fish and turtles for snorkeling viewing..Thank you Peter..

The views from this condo are breathtaking - such a pleasant way to wake up every day. The close proximity to Kapalua Bay was just perfect for our snorkeling family.
Peter has done an excellent job at making sure the condo has a well-equipped kitchen. He also has hand soap and toiletries (if needed) in all the bathrooms. You can literally show up with your bags and start vacationing.
The second leg of our trip is to Kauai and we almost wish we could cancel that and just stay here! I would highly recommend this condo to anyone.
Peter - thanks for such a fabulous “home base” for our family.

Everything was great about this lovely and well decorated villa. The views were spectacular - you felt like you were on top of the world. The telescope was amazing for sightings of humpback whales breaching and swimming with their babies. It was also fun to watch the surfers on the beach below and all the way over on Honolua Bay. We loved that there were no steps to contend with - the condo was all on one level with parking right outside the door. In addition to the spacious main lanai we also loved the enclosed lanai off the master bedroom - great place to read a book and listen to the birds sing. Peter was great to work with in planning for our stay with descriptive literature and recommendations. We highly recommend this villa and hope to return in the future!

The photos don't do this condo justice. It is amazing and a great price!! We would have been content just sitting on the lanai and enjoying the spectacular view and wonderful trade winds every day. It was perfect for 6 of us (2 married couples and 2 teenagers). We cooked most of our meals in the condo and used the grills on the premises. The condo had everything we needed and more including snorkeling gear, a safe, washer and dryer, and a telescope. Kapalua was amazing and less touristy than other areas of Maui. Walking distance to the beach and golfing. Peter was so helpful with our many questions about Maui. When we return to Maui we won't look any further than this spectacular condo. We will stay here again and again. Thank you Peter, for a memorable family trip.

The view's of the beautiful blue water are spectacular from the lanai, the master bedroom, and even the front parking area! The location on The Ridge offers panoramic vista's and as others have said, the website photo's don't really do it justice. We enjoyed watching the surfers down below and capturing a rainbow during a brief shower. We loved the quiet location, the tasteful furnishings and artwork, and the well equipped kitchen. AC works well, but we didn't need it after opening up for the breeze. Fine restaurants and provisions are close by. Our stay was super relaxing and easy, which is what we were looking for. Highly recommend this property. Bruce D.

First time in Maui, rented property based solely on reviews. Reviews were right on target. Property was immaculate, view was extraordinary. Loved the area, quiet and beautiful. Had no issues with anything in property. Everything worked great. After having travel plans affected at the last minute, contacted Peter to request a late check out, he accommodated us without a hitch. Would highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again.

We stayed at this property prior to our stay in Kaanapali. We followed this with a beachfront condo suite at the new Hyatt Residence Club and we all agreed, after staying at your unit in Kapalua, everything else was a let down. The views from the living area and balcony aren't done justice by pictures. Breathtaking. Well equipped, right down to the items for the beach. What we loved was the easy and beautiful walk to the beach, and the serenity of the area in general. You can walk to the Gazebo for a great breakfast, or dine at the Montage or Banyon Tree, all a short distance away. Zip line is a short drive, and well worth it. We golfed at the Bay Course, and it too was perfect. This unit is spacious, very clean, nicely decorated and very private. We plan to stay here again next year. Our friends say they are now spoiled by the whole experience of Kapalua vs the rest of Maui, that they will only stay here in the future. My husband gets extra points for finding this beautiful condo.Thank you Peter for your hospitality and your care in providing a fabulous place for your guests. We will definitely be telling our friends to contact you.
March 2015
The view was unbelievable and even better than pictured. The condo was very nice as well. Extremely close to a community pool. Peter was very attentive and checked on us to ensure everything went smoothly (it did). Beds were comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves along with our two teenage boys. The master bathroom is outdated but this would not come close to stopping us from staying here again. Great job Peter and thanks!

We had a great stay at this Ridge Villa. The views are spectacular--spanning 180 degrees from Molokai to Makaluapuna Point and beyond. The house faces north, so no sunsets, but we liked not baking in the sun. We never needed the air conditioners; the north/northeast trades kept the house comfortable all day and night. The bonus for leaving the house open is the sound of the ocean. You can lie in bed and watch and listen to the surf roll in. The house was in great shape, with very nice fixtures, kitchen equipment and furniture. A very nice pool is just next door, but situated so that the house is completely private. The pool area is equipped with two high-end Weber grills, and being so close, we were able to walk back and forth to grill our "cheeseburgers in paradise." We walked through some other units in the Kapalua resort, and we think this is one of the nicest for its combination of exposure to the breezes, great views and privacy (you can not see into the house from either neighboring houses or the road). The only thing that keeps this from being perfect is the occasional noise from the road, which runs along the ridge immediately below this house. But that's a very minor issue in an otherwise perfect setting. We had the opportunity to meet the owner, who was helpful and very knowledgeable. We would certainly rent here again.

We were here with adult children. Everyone enjoyed the unit (size, comforts, number of bathrooms, view). The only thing I would add to the preceding positive reviews is that the photos cannot do the unit justice; the appointments are superb ( art work, décor, kitchen facilities). As we vacation in Kapalua regularly, we tend to eat in and the unit is perfect for the ambitious but amateur cook. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.

Every review you read about this villa is true! The view is perfect, the location is great and the villa is beautiful inside. My first concern was we wouldn't have a view being on the first floor but that's not the case. The front room lanai is actually about 6 feet from the grass below so it overlooks everything and provides an incredible view (the pictures are accurate). The villa doesn't face West so you won't see the sunset but what we discovered was if we did face West we would have to close the blinds every day due to the sun and heat. We found with this location it was never too hot, there was always a nice breeze and we never needed the a/c. The beach is about a 10 minute walk. We searched out a few condos closer to the beach but discovered that the level of noise from people/children at the beach was more than we wanted. Peter's villa is above the road so during the day you do hear the cars but at night it's very quiet. We had a couple of minor issues that needed attention and Peter handled them promptly. You'll read that the bathrooms are outdated which is true but you'll find the same in most of the villas. Bottom line, this villa was exactly what we wanted and we're returning next year.

Impeccable Villa with unbelievably spectacular views!! Even more amazing in person; if you can imagine that. Breathtaking sunrises with full view to Molokai and Lanai islands. Beautiful Kapalua Trails, Golfcourses, & Beaches!!
My family said, "Don't believe there is a location and pristine unit that can top this off in Kapalua, a most coveted location in Maui."
Pool, grille area is right next to the building which is very convenient.The Pool has two turtle mosaic tiles on the bottom, eating area, outdoor showers, and restrooms.
If you read this review and your dates are open; don't think twice! Book it!!
Owner is very helpful and professional. You can trust this VRBO to be the real deal!!

The condo is very well maintained even though it is older. The kitchen has been updated with great appliances and granite. The view is spectacular and the telescope was a really fun surprise. It is well equipped for all kinds of beach activities, including beach towels. Being on the ground floor made it easy to get bags into, as there are no elevators, just stairs for upper units. The balcony area is a great space for eating or relaxing. The only negative was the in-wall air conditioners. The couple in the master bedroom said it was noisy. We did not use ours and it was pleasantly cool at night. There are several ceiling fans. We enjoyed our brief stay.
March 2014
This was our second trip to Kapalua. We stayed at a two-story Kapalua Bay Golf Villa the first time, but we very much prefer this unit for a variety of reasons. That it’s all on one level is a plus for us. The views of the beaches, the Kapalua Bay Golf Course and the neighboring islands are spectacular, which is not to mention the frequent whale sightings right from the lanai. Going to sleep and waking up to the sound of the crashing surf is magnificent.
Virtually every aspect of the unit is upscale, especially the kitchen appliances and cabinetry. Cable television was available in both bedrooms and the living room. The Wi-Fi worked very well. The tile floors throughout were beautiful and pleasantly cool. The swimming pool, which is literally next door, has restrooms, a shower and an upscale barbecue.
We spent most of our stay away from the unit on whale watching cruises (10 in nine days), but the keyless entry system and a very formidable entry door made us feel our belongings were secure. When we couldn’t figure out how to turn on an overhead fan, operate the television or even start the dishwasher, a telephone call to Joel in the office brought us a very helpful serviceman in just ten minutes.
One of the reasons we prefer Kapalua (and particularly the Ridge) is its proximity to everything we want to do without all of the congestion so prevalent at Napili, Kaanapali and Lahaina. Golf, tennis, swimming, snorkeling, walking/running trails, shopping, etc., are all within easy walking distance of the Ridge.
Our last evening was highlighted by a beautiful rainbow out over the water. It was the perfect end to a perfect stay, and we have already signed up for next year.

Like nearly all of the reviews, we found Peter's villa to be a wonderful decision. The views, the location within Kapalua, the proximity to great beaches, walking trails, and great restaurants was perfect. Peter was great to work with too. Can't go wrong if you are staying in Kapalua. Wish I was back there now....

We have stayed at several units at the Kapalua Villas and this is among our favorites. Majestic views, great location, large rooms, all the comforts of home. Perfect for one or two couples and up to 6 people. Short walk to the water. Tennis courts around the corner. Pinapple Grill, Merriman's and Sansei restaurants within walking distance. Great stay and reasonable price. We look forward to being back in this villa when we return. Thanks Peter, loved your place!
May 2013
From the moment we walked into the villa our stay was absolutely wonderful. The gorgeous floor tiles, the expansive living room, office space, dining room, and kitchen were perfect for our style of living. The enormous master bedroom offered incredible views up the coast combined with the spacious closet and attached master bath that is so well appointed. The guest bedroom, also with an attached bathroom with double sinks and shower/bath, was very modern and contained plenty of storage space.
In addition, the views from the villa's interior rooms and exterior balconies are nothing short of phenomenal. It was very difficult to avert your eyes - day or night - from the sights and sounds of the ocean waves breaking on the beach below, or from the Pacific Ocean and the islands of Molokai and Lana'i in the distance. On the other side of the villa, the ninth fairway of the Kapalua Bay Course beckons as you watch golfers playing down the hill to the ninth green. This spot also affords a panoramic sunset view. A short walk farther down the hill leads to the pro shop at the Bay Course and the Pineapple Grill Restaurant and Bar - a great hang out spot for vacationers and locals.
The swimming pool complex immediately adjacent to the villa contained brand new Weber barbecues. This was a terrific area for our frequent dining nights "at home". The area was also superbly suited to meeting other vacationers and year round residents alike. We met a very friendly and helpful group of people.
The owner of the villa is exceptionally helpful and efficient in the rental of this unit. Peter is extremely well organized. He offers clear and concise suggestions and ideas for fully enjoying the paradise that is Kapalua. If you are considering a rental of this Kapalua, my suggestion is that you hurry because we are coming back soon.

This was our sixteenth trip to Maui and second time at the Ridge. We love Kapalua and won't stay any place else now. The views from this unit are the best we have had on the island. Amazing! We were a bit surprised by the street noise during the day as the unit sits above the main road. But it was quiet at night - which was most important.
There were some housekeeping issues with the unit, but Peter handled them most professionally and immediately.
There are also some plumbing issues which need future attention, but nothing that interfered with our vacation.
This would have been a 5 star rating had the unit been in tip top shape, but it was a good experience and Peter gets 5 stars for handling things professionally.

The property was exceptional. Well-maintained, well-located, spacious, etc. The owner was exemplary in his communicating information before we agreed to stay and afterward. A paradigm of efficiency.
