Dear Mike&Madaline!
Thank you very much for 12 wonderful days.
Your home is a perfect place for vacation and relax in Maui.
1. Ridge has very good location. Kapalua - is a peaceful and luxury area near Lahaina. It located between two 5-star hotels: Ritz-Carlton and Montage. Quiet place with rich flowering trees. Kapalua has the golf course and tennis court. You can use it for reasonable price.
2. There are 3 beach near the villa: D.T. Fleming Park Beach (in front of Ritz-Carlton), the Oneloa Bay (in front of Ridge) and Kapalua Beach (beside Montage). You can reach any of them by walking/10 min or by car/3 min. Our favorite is Kapalua Bay ("America's Best Beach" in 1991). Beach It located in closed cove and can be convenient even in windy day. In this beach we have seen the sea turtles “Honu” and twice we swam with them. It was fantastically. The two other beach often have a big waves in windy weather and will be good for bodyboarding.
3. The villa apartment is situated in first floor and has own lanai, where you can take a breakfast or to listen to the sound of the surf. The picture is like a paradise.
4. The villa has high quality furniture in Hawaiian style. You can find in villa all you need: bodyboard, snorkeling equipment, beach chairs, baby toys for beach and, of course, set of towels.
5. Arriving and departure are well organized and simple. Thank you Mike and Madaline for sweet welcome fruit set: papaya, bananas and pineapple.
We would like highly recommend this villa for vacation rent.
