We had a most comfortable stay. Everything was as described, including the view. I loved being able to see the ocean from our condo!
The bed was super comfortable.
We used the beach chairs, which are light to carry on your back. The walk to Kapalua Bay is only .6 miles. (Take the shortcut through the Montage property.)
The condo was quiet. Thank you for this!
We would love to book this unit again.
Maui Paradise Properties communicated beautifully throughout our reservation process and throughout our stay.
Highly recommend!

The condo was spacious and well equipped. Very comfortable. The carpets throughout are getting tired and there is staining despite the obvious efforts to keep them clean. The AC was preset at a temperature higher than what we would have liked for sleeping. This was not disclosed prior to our completing the booking. The AC failed and the prop mgmt co were less than professional. Once they realized that it could not be fixed they tried to ignore our requests for updates. You had to repeatedly call them and get angry with them to get any response. They had no contingency plans for this problem. They did not have a portable AC unit to install to keep things liveable for our last night. At 3am the bedroom area was 80 F. Despite doors and windows being open. As this is a loft unit the heat just rises. Downstairs was a bit cooler but still 76 F at 3am. To hot to sleep. They did not have another unit to move us to and declined to offer a hotel for the night. They just took the position Too Bad Sorry About This. They did admit that they have no contingency plans. They state they would refund us for one night which we have not seen any evidence of this actually happening so far. They also did not tell us in advance that the pool was closed for repairs. They were good about sending information before we arrived for access etc. Would we rent if this Prop Company was involved in the future. NO

Kapalua is one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever been. The condo was the perfect size for a family of 3 and the view from the patio is amazing! We enjoyed snorkeling at Kapalua Bay. We also enjoyed hiking everyday, as well as kayaking and just chilling at the pool. We are not foodies so didn’t eat out much, but that’s why we loved having a kitchen. We will definitely be back.

We were escaping weeks of rain and cold in California.
went from averge temp of 36 degrees and rain to 77 degrees and clear. The unit looks out over the first hole of the Kapalua Golf Course with a great view of the incredibily kept golf course and the ocean in the distance. Sunsets are right in your wheel house sitting in the deck. Less than 10 minute walk to the beach, 10 - 15 minute walk to the Gazebo restaurant. whales were visible everday in Naplili Bay.
The unit itself a little dated but clean. Bedroom is upstairs and doses not close off but the unit overall was very quiet.

This is the second time we’ve stayed at Kapalua Golf Villas, both times using the same property management company, Maui Paradise Properties. Have had a great stay both times.
Pros: Unit is clean, pretty well stocked, and spacious. Excellent They text/email communication leading up to arrival. Loved 1.5 baths. It’s a top floor unit on the end of the building, so very quiet. Grateful for the beach chairs/towels and the large lanai. Beautiful unit, well furnished.
Cons/considerations: This unit has a loft upstairs bedroom, so if you’re having more than 2 people be mindful that there is less privacy/more noise transfer than with a one bedroom. Being Hawaii, there are some tiny little ants that were present in both bathrooms and kitchens. There was a washer/dryer, but we couldn’t find detergent so used our own. Also the AC has a lower limit (68 degrees I think?) and we were far too hot at night upstairs with how heat rises. We did not contact the rental company about any of these issues, but I assume they could have been resolved!

Fabulous location and weather for the trip. Great snorkeling and beaches nearby with clear as glass water. Lot’s of turtles and fish. Only problem was constant drips from ceiling air conditioning. They were not able to fix during our stay.

The property was exactly as described. It is a little bit of an older unit, but well kept and stocked with plenty of supplies. The location was perfect with an excellent view.

Loved the property. End of drive way with private parking. Location came with fully stocked kitchen ac washer dryer. All the amenities to keep the wife and kids happy. The starter kit they set you up with is the best I’ve seen in any rental. Would most definitely rebook again.

AC doesn’t work. Dirty bathroom. Mice droppings. Saw 2 roaches. Chair on patio broken. Ice maker broken and leaking. Condo is very tired and needs some work. After 5 days of complaining, we were moved to another condo. Very little compensation given.

My wife and I finally ventured to Maui, 21 months after first booking the trip. Due to Covid and other schedule issues we were finally able to complete our trip.
While the location of the condo, views from the Lanai, and the check in procedure and response as to questions prior to trip was very good, the condo itself is a bit dated. It could use a fresh update; the kitchen seemed to have been updated but the carpet and furniture was dated and looked tired.
The major issue for us during our stay was the AC unit that had a mind of it's own. We had a temperature range of 64 degrees with blankets on to 83 degrees and fans running constantly during our stay. The management team did come out almost daily to try and fix the situation with no luck, so a service tech didn't finally arrive until two days before departure and "fixed" the issue, which in all reality didn't fix it.
After a few conversations with the property manager, who was very apologetic we were offered a partial per night refund for the inconvenience, which we did appreciate.
If the owners were to freshen up the carpet, paint and furniture and make sure the AC unit is working properly we would have given the place a strong 4 stars.
Based upon the property manager willingness to try and fix the unit and then offering a partial refund we give it a weak 3 stars.
I would give the property management team another chance should we venture to Maui again soon though.

We loved relaxing on the large lanai overlooking the 4th fairway of the Kapalua Bay Golf Course! The condo was very spacious and well-furnished and well-supplied. It is a short walk to the beach and to the beautiful Kapalua Coastal Trail, which gives you easy access to several 5-star resorts. We will definitely be back!

Vacation was great the rental was in great shape. Close to everything we wanted to do. We will stay here again.

When we walked into the property we were hit with a flash of hot air. We saw that there were 2 fans on in the living room. As we have stayed at the property numerous times before we knew where the AC control was - Upstairs. After getting upstairs we heard a loud noise as there was a portable AC unit running. The AC was not working - The AC had broken down. We called the property managers and asked what was up? Yes , they said the AC was not working. I don't know when the AC had broken down as the property managers wouldn't tell me - 1 week, 2weeks? We were not notified of the issue before we arrived. They did not disclose this to us. We could have made a decision on what to do if they would have notified us as Maui was booked out. The downstairs never cooled down and the portable AC unit upstairs was noisy and inefficient.
We will not stay at this property or work with this management group again.

This is an excellent place to stay in Maui. The unit is as described and the location in Maui is very convenient for visiting local beaches were are some of the best on the island. Only critiques were that the front porch light doesn’t work and the coffee machine needed a deep cleaning. Other than that, five stars!

We were extremely pleased with the Villa, 5 Star describes it perfectly. The place was spotless when we arrived including all the dishes and pots and pans. The kitchen is very well equipped. Steve made things very easy for us and went the extra mile to accommodate us. The location is remarquable, we woke up overlooking the golf course and watched the beautiful sunset at night. The quality of the two golf courses and the great service provided by the staff made our whole experience unforgettable. We were sad to leave after only three weeks. I will stop because I want the Villa to be available when we return.

This is a lovely unit located on the 10th hole of the Kapalua Bay course. The view is terrific though the ocean view is limited. The furnishings, carpet and tile are all well cared for and in excellent condition.

We have just stayed at this golf villa for a month and it was a wonderful getaway. The villa is spotless and is as the photos indicate. Really comfortable and there is nothing like that cup of coffee in the morning as you look out on that gorgeous view of the golf course and the ocean. Highly recommend this villa to people who are looking for a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, you will not be disappointed. Also, great area for walking and lots of great restaurants close by. We particularly like the Sea House and Sansei. Kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need to cook there.

We loved our stay at 16T1 Golf Villa. Convenience of the entrance to the unit at street level, loved walking in and immediately have your eyes drawn towards the lani... the golf course ... Cook Pines and the Pacific Ocean. Added plus is this is a corner unit so you have so many views to enjoy. This is why we come to West Maui, to totally unplug and enjoy what nature has too offer. So easy to feel at home with the comfortable furnishings, and beautiful views. We'll be back..

Condo is as described, super clean, great location, quiet and convenient. Well appointed kitchen, no problem with parking, everything worked as described, owners were very easy to deal with. We would not hesitate to use the condo again for our travel needs, super convenient for Xterra racers like we were, super close to all the race activities. We rode to the bike course from the condo, you can walk to the run and swim as well, we did. The use of the resort shuttle was a great bonus for getting to and from the beach, the snorkeling gear was great, we saw turtles every day we went out. Very short walk to the pool, whole complex is quiet and relaxing.

We are so happy we decided to stay here for our honeymoon. Everything was perfectly clean and just as pictured. It has a beautiful view and sunsets. It is the perfect place if you want to be away from the other thousands of people vacationing. Every time we went to a beach with all the resorts surrounding them, we looked at each other and said "I'm so glad we are staying away from here!" We will definitely choose to stay here if we come back. Kapalua area is also the best in Maui.

My husband and I had the best time staying in this peaceful villa. We love Kapalua and this is the perfect rental to enjoy all its beauty. This villa distinguishes itself with its location and gorgeous vistas from the large terrace and upstairs window. It was breathtaking to end and start the day with such scenery. The villa is very peaceful because it is a corner unit and two floors - the terrace was much more private than surrounding units. The villa was very clean, the kitchen was well-stocked, all linens were of high standard and it was a nice touch to have starter supplies included. Steve was extremely accommodating and helpful throughout the booking process. We will be back!

My Fiance and I spent time in three different locations on Maui and toured the East and North/South West of Maui. Overall, this location would be the only spot we would return to. Located on the best golf course in Hawaii, the golf villas provide much needed quiet, with a picturesque view of the ocean (in the distance), and space that you don't get in many of the other crowded areas of West Maui. The unit itself was in perfect condition, extras such as towels, chairs, lotions, and coolers were very much appreciated. The air conditioning worked well, and the spending the night on the patio watching the sunrise was unforgettable.
As far as location goes, it's one of the more northern communities in West Maui but you're close to better beaches, in fact you can walk to at least 3 gorgeous beaches within 10 minutes of the unit.
We are in our late 20's and loved every minute staying here. The bed was comfortable, kitchen well stocked, you'll melt into the couches after a full day in the sun. Overall, a wonderful stay and we appreciate the flexibility of the owner.

My husband and I spent 11 lovely nights in Kapalua in Lori and Steve's golf villa. Everything was perfect (property location, cleanliness, views) I can go on and on. We recommend this property as we had a great experience and would visit again in a heartbeat!

The Villa was beautifully decorated with a fully functional kitchen. The upstairs bedroom was very comfortable as was the entire unit. The interior was clean and very well maintained; and the outside deck facing the golf course was very nice especially at night when you could look up and see all the stars! I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a fully equipped condo with all the amenities so they can enjoy a relaxing vacation on Maui.
November 2013
Simply put, a lovely place to stay. The condo is very clean, well decorated and has everything you need, and then some. The view of the ocean from the bedroom is spectacular. Waking up every morning to that was worth the trip alone.
The owners took great care of us by emailing us often through the reservation process and checking in to make sure everything is up to our standard.

My husband and I stayed at this condo rental in early April. We had an amazing time. The condo is even better than it looks in the pictures. It is very clean and well appointed with amazing views. The owners have provided everything you will need for your vacation stay. Kapalua is an amazing place, beautiful landscaping and vistas. Best place to stay on Maui as far as we are concerned. The upstairs bedroom in this condo is very spacious and nicely layed out and furnished. Living room is very comfortable, breakfast on the lani was a real treat. We hope to return again. Steve and Lori were a pleasure to do business with.
March 2013
We had stayed at Steve and Lori's villa a few years ago, but had lost touch with them. We were so glad to find their villa again and to find that it was just as great as we remembered. We especially liked the peaceful location, close enough to restaurants and the beach and yet when you go back to the villa it is like being a million miles from everything. The villa was spotless when we arrived and had all the kitchen utensils and gadgets anyone could ever need. The lanai just can't be beat because it can be used just about all day and the sun is not overwelming. ( I burn very easily!). The lanai is also a great place to watch the comings and goings of the birds (we got a kick out of Mrs. Duck and her two buddies) . All the people you come in contact with at the Villas are always very pleasant and make you feel welcome. Lori and Steve were very attentive to any questions we had and came back to us immediately from when we first contacted them until we left. They were the perfect hosts and we can not wait to return to their lovely villa.

My wife and I spent 5 weeks in this lovely villa. We have stayed in four other Kapalua Golf Villas over the years and found this to be our favorite. Very spacious, great location, and felt like home. As far as I am concerned Kapalua is the best area to stay on Maui and the view of the Bay Course and Lanai & Molokai in the distance from our lanai was a great way to start and end each day.
The location of this villa provided extra privacy, and the top floor master suite provided personal privacy when guests visited. Great location for walks and golf. Photos provide accurate representation of the furniture and decor. No issues with cleanliness and I am a neat-freak.
Our favorite activity was walking on the Kapalua Resort "trails'", especially from Kapalua Bay through the Ritz Carlton resort. For a special night out, sunset reservations at Merriman's Restaurant overlooking Kapalua Bay can't be beat. We enjoyed another great meal on New Year's Eve.
A couple of recommendations: It would be nice to have a couple of snorkel and fins available (other units I have rented on Maui and Kauai have provided them) to avoid the hassle of renting and returning. I would also upgrade the bedding, especially the sheets and pillowcases (they seemed a bit light in the thread-count and quality).
Overall, I would highly recommend renting this unit (best suited for a couple) and plan on renting again in the future.

What a wonderful Christmas week in Kapalua with families members also staying at the golf villas. We had perfect weather and excellent accommodation . As first time users with VRBO we based our villa selection on guest reviews and owner description, photos and video.
The moment we stepped into the front entrance, we knew we had made a great choice. The villa was spotlessly clean, very comfortable, lovely decor, and well equipped. The location was great......end unit with large lanai which provided a great view of the golf course and surrounding area.
Besides beach life we spent much of our time in the activities we enjoy..... Hiking and Tennis. The Tennis facilities were great and the staff were very accommodating.
Thank-you Laurie and Steve for letting us stay at your beautiful villa.

We had an amazing trip, just what we needed. Along with the beautiful west maui beaches and delicious seafood cuisine your place was our home away from home. From the initial interest to first contact with Steve was warm, friendly and informative. The attention to detail from getting the appropriate paperwork to making it official to our first steps into the villa was a smooth experience. Lori and Steve are truly sharing a piece of their passion and love for the island with the guests. From the first look over the lanai we knew this was goin to be something special. The villa was immaculate, loaded with everything you can think of at our disposal from beach chairs to an ice cream scoop.The location was perfect for what we were looking for... laid back and less crowds but within driving distance to the activities and attractions. Lori's restaurant recommendations were right on and thoroughly enjoyed several times. We enjoyed having breakfast on the lanai and I got entertainment watching the many golf temperaments taking their second shot off the tenth tee. It was a daily routine to supplied beach chairs and cooler to relax on kapalua and dt fleming. Meals from pineapple grill, maui tacos and hula grill were enjoyable. We will be back and this time I want to share the wonderful experience with my two boys. True Maui Hospitality. Mahalo.

As a former resident of Maui, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of staying in this golf villa with its magnificent views of the golf course and the ocean. This unit has been very nicely upgraded and is conveniently located to the Kapalua tennis facilities and the so relaxing beach at Napili Bay. Great restaurants are only minutes away and if you are a golfer, you have simply arrived in paradise.

You can tell from the photos and other reviews on this page that Lori and Steve are sharing a personal piece of paradise with those of us lucky enough to find our way to Kapalua. The condo is exactly as pictured, conveniently located within the Golf Villas, a wonderful corner unit with lots of views and at the same time a feeling of privacy. Lori and Steve were great hosts, ready and willing to answer any and all questions. Their condo is stocked with everything you could need for the week, including beach chairs and towels. Breakfast on the lanai is a treat for us desert dwellers. The Pineapple Grill just down the hill never disappoints. Great snorkeling on the norths side of Kapalua Bay (look for turtles!). Can't go wrong choosing Kapalua or this villa!

I absolutely loved this golf villa for several reasons:
* Convenience: The villa is walking distance to great restaurants, beaches, convenience stores, etc. Kapalua is a great area. It's not as crowded, but boosts beautiful beaches and views.
* Cleanliness: When you first walk into the place, you immediately notice how immaculate it is. Yes, you have to pay a cleaning fee but trust me, it is ABSOLUTELY worth it. Who wants to walk into a dirty villa on the first day of their vacation??
* The little things: The little things count! We were very impressed by the amenities provided and the overall furnishing of the place. There are tons of spices for you to use in the kitchen, as well as beach chairs, beach towels, detergent, shampoo, soap, maps, phones, TVs, etc.
* Great owners: Steve and Lori are awesome to work with. They're super responsive to all your questions. And, we received our security deposit back in a very timely manner. The whole process was very transparent and easy.
* Views: There's a lanai on the main floor that overlooks the golf course and it has a distant ocean view. It's peaceful, relaxing, and beautiful. There's nothing better than sitting outside with a bottle of wine while enjoying the scenary.
I could probably go on and on, but you get the point. It's an awesome place. Steve and Lori - Thanks so much for everything. You will definitely be hearing from us if we ever re-visit the west side of Maui.
