We stayed at Gil's unit at the Ridge in Kapalua for 18 days over the holiday's. Great condo with stunning views of Honoloua Bay and the Kapalua resort. The location of the unit is incredibly convenient - a five minute walk to both the Bay Course clubhouse, the Kapalua tennis garden, and Kapalua Bay. The kitchen came fully equipped and the bathrooms were extremely clean. It was very hard to leave the condo after such an incredible vacation!

Great view. Great location. We had a great time in a comfortable condo

Gil's place was exactly as it was described. We appreciated the great location as it was walkable to three amazing beaches and the Coastal Trail. The condo was super comfortable, with fantastic views (!), well-equipped, and extremely clean. I would not hesitate to stay here again or recommend it to friends and family.

Comfort as in older interior style, great views, away from the crowd

What a wonderful place to stay at, the house was very clean and extremely comfortable. The location was simply suburb, close to some amazing beaches, we even swam with the turtles at Kapalua Bay, and great places close by to eat out if needed. It was very relaxing to come back with all your needs catered for, we didn't want for anything during our week long trip while in the house, thank you so much Ron for allowing us to stay at this beautiful place, we will definitely be back, it was that memorable. thanks Paul & Marija.

Beautiful location, walking distance to lovely bays for snorkelling and swimming. Not a huge choice for restaurants within walking distance but no problem if you have a car which you really need to get around Maui in any case. Accomodation very spacious for our family of 5, and fully equipped with everything you need in the kitchen plus beach and snorkelling equipment. Loved our stay and Maui is just stunning.

The property was more than perfect. And Bay Villas in Kapalua is an awesome spot. Our Host, Ron, was very communicative and friendly. Everything there works to perfection, all electric appliances, wifi, air conditioner, etc. I would definitively choose the same place if I come back. Thanks Ron!

Pat and Gil kept us informed along the way and we found everything to me exactly what we expected. The place does have a great view and is a great place to have a relaxing vacation. The trade winds were great for keeping the place comfortable, A/C was NEVER required. THe place was very comfortable and well equipped. We will stay there again. We normally stay in a house in Napili, however, we liked the convenience of the amenities and the restaurants in Kapalua. We returned to CA relaxed and refreshed.

This place is absolutely beautiful. You get the sunrise on the deck each morning, you get to have a delicious cup of coffee in the shade and look out over the palm trees and pay nearby. It's only a five minute walk to an amazing beach with a great body surfing and snorkeling. I was also able to run the coastal Trail nearby every day I was there. I actually lost weight on this vacation because exercise was so fun and accessible. That condo itself is lovely and extremely quiet. We never heard a single neighbor ever. You will NOT be disappointed if you stay here. It's the most restful place we've found on Maui.

We had a great (and first) Airbnb experience at Pat's condo. So relaxing, slept well with the balcony open to the ocean. Very relaxing, perfect stay. Would book again without hesitation.

Wonderful place to stay and very close to the beach. Can't recommend it enough!

Great location. However, there wasn't any hot water or water pressure in the shower. We took showers at another property, otherwise we would have submitted a maintenence request. Also, let it be known that thejey fee increased to $45, & you'll be asked to sign an additional rental agreement on top of the AirBNB agreement.

Great place! Easy check in and parking. Wonderful location!

Janet was very accommodating and responded quickly with requests!

Napili Shores is a very good value play for Maui, the condo was clean and there were beach provisions like towels & body boards for the surf. The view out the back patio was nice to the ocean and the beach was fantastic. The location was great! Definitely check out the Olivine Pools a short drive (+ a short hike down) up the North West Coast.

Amazing location, beautiful clean apartment, kitchen was incredible and supplied with all you need. Lots of things in the apartment to use at the beach etc for our convenience. Loved our stay here.. Ps bed sheets were the best I've slept in!

The host canceled this reservation 31 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The condo had everything we needed for a week in Maui. Great location just a short walk to Napili Beach and the Gazebo restaurant. Check-in and check-out were both a breeze. We were happy to find the closet fully stocked with beach chairs, boogie boards, noodles, beach mats, a cooler and some sunscreen left from previous visitors. Also bath and pool towels were plentiful. The bed was amazingly comfortable and the shower was good as well. Janet gave all information needed to make this an easy stay. We also enjoyed reading and signing the guestbook.

Best beach on Maui! Great place enjoy every moment

Die Lage ist perfekt! Zum Essen mit Oceanview einfach über den Strand zum Sea House Restaurant gehn. Die Einrichtung des Appartements war wie beschrieben, alles was man braucht. Ich empfehle diese Airbnb Unterkunft!

This was our first trip to Hawaii, and I just picked this place because it was one of the few available on Maui over the holidays. Turned out it was fantastic and exactly what we wanted. A quaint little bungalow on the beach. The location is fantastic with the Gazebo a two minute walk away and plenty of restaurants and coffee shops a short drive away. We walked to the Ritz Carlton just a mile away which has beautiful grounds we could enjoy. We will stay at Gail's place again.

This property was definitely as advertised and very cute. The ocean and a very nice beach (with very good snorkeling and lots of fish/turtles) is right at the back door. We could hear the waves crashing at night, which was nice. The apartment itself was a nice size for two people and had a very comfortable bed, and it was immaculate and updated. I also appreciated that there was a washer/dryer a few steps across the parking lot. The host offers beach chairs, snorkel equipments and floaties, which was a great convenience. My only complaint (but can't blame the hosts for this) is that it was a bit hot for not having any AC. We visited here in early October with temperatures in the 80s - we're from Florida, so are used to good AC. We had hoped the ocean breezes would keep us cool enough, but it quite warm for us, especially during the days but even in the evenings (I need a cold room to sleep). But I realize it's not a necessity for everyone. But all in all, we had a nice (although brief) stay and would recommend.

A great place to stay.

What a hidden gem. Amazing beach and snorkeling nice unit, good size for only 2. Well stocked and had chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and a cooler for beach use which we used everyday. Bed was comfortable, WIfi worked great. Very quiet too. Nice partial view of the ocean from the Lanai, but you do need a key and must snake through the complex a short distance to access the beach I would definitely stay again. My first time staying at Napili bay, and by far I enjoyed better then Kahana and Kanapali. Mahalo Gail for a great experience and place to stay.

Great place very close to the beach. About a 20 minute drive from La Haina but a lovely secluded part of the island.

We started off our honeymoon in Maui with a few nights here, then moved to the Fairmont Kea Lani. Our goal for Napili Bay was to have a basecamp for island adventures; a simple place to sleep near a pretty beach, with the primary objective being driving around the island to explore. This studio is literally steps from the water; our time on the beach, snorkeling with turtles, watching the sunset, and eating at the Sea House will go down as our favorite honeymoon memories for sure. As nice as it was to be spoiled at the Fairmont, Napili Bay really was our favorite location in Maui, we fell in love with this Airbnb, and plan to return!

To start with the summary: It simply was a great experience. Gail and her husband were very responsive, gave complete instructions by mail how to get to the appartment. The location itself was really great. Very clean, comfortable kingsize bed, complete kitchen (although we just used the fridge) and a very nice bathroom. There is no aircon but we do not like AC anyway, so the two fans installed, running very quit, were absolutely enough to keep climate perfect for us. In addition all stuff needed for eating, cleaning in case, seats for the beach,...etc. are available. The way to the beach is like 20 seconds, and the sea and the beach, which can also be seen from the terrace, btw. with a direct access to the lawn in front of the appartment, are magnificent. There lives a turtle family close to the beach, and it can be seen eating occasionally direct from the beach. All in all a great experience that we definitely recommend.

Martha was a great host. She emailed all information about the villa in advance of our stay and answered questions promptly. Check-in/out was a breeze. The villa was beautiful, with amazing views, even better than it appears in the photos. It was clean and nicely furnished. We had an excellent stay and would highly recommend the villa to anyone visiting Maui.

We loved every moment of our vacation. The place is gorgeous and well appointed. Martha was very responsive and welcoming. Thanks!

First of all, this condo is incredible. It boasts a truly majestic panoramic view of the ocean, great couches, comfortable beds, and luxurious bathrooms. The A/C worked really well. My wife and I island-hopped to Maui from Oahu after my brother-in-law got married. We were only staying 2 nights to celebrate our 5 year anniversary in Kapalua--where we honeymooned. We booked in early June. Our stay was July 13-15. We were flying in early so we arranged an early check-in with Martha. She told us the previous occupants would be out by 8:00am, that we could drop our bags by 11:00am, and take residence shortly thereafter, but in no event later than 2:00. Our first hiccup with Martha came when July 10 rolled around we still didn't have information to get into the condo. We had left Martha several messages and hadn't heard back, so we contacted AirBnB who confirmed that this was a very unusual situation. We were preparing to book replacement accommodations (AirBnB said they would refund our stay amount plus $200 to book something else) when Martha got us the information on July 11. Martha apologized and told us she had been in Greece and had her iPhone stolen. Our second hiccup happened when we arrived in Kapalua at about 10:45, took a shuttle to the condo (we didn't rent a car because of the free shuttle service in Kapalua), and put in the door code. Low and behold, the condo was occupado--shoes, bags, clothes, food, the whole gamut. By the grace of God, our surprise co-tenants were out enjoying Kapalua when I opened their (our?) door. We called Martha and her local contact (Lars) for direction. We didn't hear back from either. After about an hour, we heard back from Lars, who said he was looking into the situation. After 3 hours, we called AirBnB and (again) prepared to book replacement accommodations. Martha contacted us a little later and apologized. Apparently, our surprise co-tenants "forgot their dates." After being in room-less purgatory for 5 hours, we were able to access the condo by 4:00 pm. Although it doesn't seem like it was her fault, Martha was fair about making the situation right. Our third hiccup was pretty minor, but follows the lack-of-communication narrative. Martha's information said Lars can get spa passes for $20/day if you ask him. We called Lars on July 13 to get passes on the 15th and he said he would do it. Having not heard back from Lars, I followed-up on the 14th and left him a voicemail. We never heard back. No spa day. Again, not the biggest deal in isolation, but the lack of communication was a pattern. Overall, the awesomeness of the condo made the stay great (4 stars). The big hiccups didn't seem to be Martha's fault and she was fair in her dealings with us. However, the lack of and difficulty in communication was a source of frustration(URL HIDDEN)

Even more beautiful than we could have ever imagined! The shuttle service was amazing, as were the semi-private beaches! We would book again in a heartbeat!

What an amazing place!!! We stayed here for a week and didn't want to leave! The location is great, super close to the pool and a little walk down to the beach. Check in was easy and smooth. Very quiet complex. The beds are quite comfy and the condo has everything you think you'll need. Beach towels and umbrellas, boogie boards and coolers! The shuttle will take you to the restaurants and hotels in the Kapalua complex and pick you up, which is a great feature to have. But the best part is the view. Absolutely incredible!! We are already planning our trip back for next year.

Such a beautiful villa with an amazing view! Our family loved every bit of it as it was nice and clean when we arrived, and very closely located to the beach. It is only a few minutes walk down to the beach or rocks where you can sit and watch the sunset/sunrise.

Accomodations were very nice and better than expected. Plenty of room.

We loved our stay! The location was beautiful and the house spacious and clean. Dave was an excellent host and he made sure we have everything we need.

Located on one of the most beautiful beaches I've been to in Maui! Perfect clean and practical apartment in an idyllic location.

A very clean space and an excellent location. Could see the ocean from the room and were never in the direct sun so it was always a good temperature. Our host helped accommodate a late check out which was awesome and answered our questions promptly. Only complaint, and it is a small one, was the knives in the kitchen being not great, but totally usable (we like to cook) and the pillows being a little flat. The small issues didn't stop us from having an awesome stay and we'd stay in the unit again.

Great location on Napili Bay. Walking distance to the beach and a stone's throw from the Gazebo (do take out if you don't want to stand in line, or be the first in line). Great snorkeling too. Quiet and relaxing location. The kitchen is perfect for cooking up a meal and the wall bed is very comfortable. The ceiling fan is strong enough to cool the room. Definitely recommend staying here. The pools are nice to swim in after dark and the view from the balcony is great. Equpped with folding chairs, boogie board and a pair of snorkeling fins which come in very handy for beach days.

Everything about our stay was amazing! We were right near, what we were told in Maui, was the best beach. Also near a great restaurant called Sea House and close to most of what we needed. Ryka, from the moment of contact has been extremely responsive, accommodating and helpful. I could not have asked for a more helpful host. Thank you Ryka! Once we arrived, we were blown away by the house in cleanliness, facilities and all of the small touches. It made us feel as though we were staying in a 5 star hotel. The WIFI was great and we even had snorkels and a barbecue... The list goes on. Booking for myself and partner as well as two other couples I had a little pressure to make sure that the house was great for us all, I can honestly our stay exceeded our expectations, we were all extremely happy. Would stay again for sure and would recommend to friends and family.

We stayed at Ryka's for a week. We've been to Napili about 9 or 10 times and always stay across the street. This time, we came with our toddler and baby, so wanted a 3 bedroom. Unfortunately, Ryka's place wasn't right for our family - for a number of reasons. Before I go into those reason, I will say that the place was clean and pretty well stocked in terms of beach gear. It's also a short walk to the beach. Now on to some things I think future AirBnB-ers should know about the place so that they can make a well-informed decision. 1. The unit is the first unit in the complex, which means it is right on the street. Buses and loud motorcycles pass by regularly and the place is an older building so it's not soundproof. The house also creaks and makes noises itself - especially the windows in the master bedroom. A lot of people wouldn't mind this, but we had to sleep with white noise to drown out the noises from the creaky building, the complex's opening and closing car gate and cars passing by. I wish that this had been more clear in the listing - perhaps a plan of the complex highlighting the location of this unit right on the street would have been helpful. We probably wouldn't have chosen this unit had we known. 2. The AC didn't work when we got there because the thermostat was out of batteries. When we notified Ryka she had us take batteries out of some remotes, which fixed the issue - but it just wasn't something we wanted to deal with after a 6 hour plane ride and a subsequent hour drive after standing in line for an hour to get our car rental... with two babies. Even when it worked, the vent in one of the rooms did not work so there was no AC in one room, where the baby was sleeping. Ryka made no attempt to remedy this when I notified her. She basically said it was "user error". When she sent her PM to fix the Internet issue (discussed below) she didn't even have her check the AC in that room to figure out what the problem was (we weren't there when the PM stopped by to fix the Internet). Luckily there was a fan in the room and since I didn't want to deal with the issue on my vacation, we just dealt with it. 3. The Internet didn't work. Ryka mentioned it had gone out the last day the previous guests were there - so I'm not sure why she didn't fix it then. We checked in on Saturday and it was fixed by Monday afternoon. For a 7 night stay, that's a good portion of our visit without internet. This stuff happens, but it took a bit too long, in my opinion, to get someone out there to fix the issue. 4. The place isn't very comfortable for...

This condo was a little slice of heaven! Across the street from Napili Bay and includes everything you need for the perfect getaway. Ryka was lovely to work with, responds quickly to you, and has considered every detail to make your stay as comfortable as possible. All you need to pack is sunblock and sandals, all other beach material is provided. The beach is stunning and is much less crowded relative to other west Maui beaches. There is a great restaurant nearby that Ryka recommended- Merriman's- and the food is phenomenal. About a 5-10 minute walk to there, and to Kapalua bay for some great snorkeling. You can save money on a snorkel cruise just by going to Kapalua, where I saw dozens of turtles and other critters. Many thanks to Ryka for sharing her little palace with us. Will definitely be back again.

We had a fantastic stay at Ryka's lovely townhouse. The patio/bbq area is just off the kitchen and we enjoyed breakfasts outside and quiet drinks in the evening after we put our daughter to bed. The beach at Napili bay is wonderful and is just across the road on the other side of the Napili Bay resort which is a very short walk, which is where we spent most of our time. The Napili bay resort offers day-passes (off-season, based on demand) which allow you access to their facilities, pool, etc). I highly recommend getting a day-pass to the Westin resort (about 10-15 mins drive down highway 30) for an amazing day at the multiple pools, slide, bar/restaurants, etc. Napili plaza (2-3 mins drive form the house) has all the amenities you need (coffee shops, large grocery store, more restaurants. You can walk it in 15 mins but there aren't always sidewalks and I wouldn't recommend taking a stroller (we did twice, which was perfectly fine, but a bit tiring). We would happily stay there again!

Our house was amazing. Much more than we expected. Great location, close to two of the top beaches in Maui and very close to any amenities we needed. There are several great restaurants within walking distance or a very short drive but we enjoyed being able to pick up local foods and prepare at the house. We also enjoyed working with Ryka. She made sure everything was perfect and was great to communicate with through the entire process. We highly recommend her place.

The condo was well stocked with toilet paper, paper towels, washing detergent, pots, pans, beach chairs, boogie boards and just about anything else you need for a vacation home. Her directions on everything about the house is clearly laid out in the information binder. If you have any questions, Ryka is VERY responsive!
