Simply put, this unit and location is wonderful. Stay here...
Now the longer portion! For my wife and I, this was our fourth trip to Maui but the first time staying up in Kapalua and first time using AirBnB in Hawaii. Our previous times were in Wailea and Kaanapali, so this was an adjustment location wise but we loved it.
The unit is very modern and updated with all of the essentials you will need for a week or more stay. Kitchen is all new and even the handheld appliances are new and great (toaster, coffee, blender). Fridge is big, with ice maker and filtered water off the front. Washer/Dryer is perfect to clean out items and maybe even get ahead of your laundry before you head home! Furniture is comfortable, with plenty of seating. I believe the big couch has a pullout. Really nice kitchen table plus two bar seats. The bedroom has a patio with seating but no view of any sorts. The king bed is very nice, although it makes some creaking noises at times with only basic movement. Both bathrooms are large, with good showers in both. Vicky provides plenty of towels (extras were underneath sinks!). The main patio as shown in pictures provides a wonderful view all day long (sunset is a bit hidden but there are ways around that - 8th green of Bay Course!). We had a breakfast on the patio almost every morning and loved it. Vicky provides beach chairs, beach towels, cooler, umbrellas, etc so it really is ready to go when you arrive.
The unit, the complex and Kapalua itself is very quiet, more laid back than other places we've stayed (if that's possible in Hawaii!) while still being upscale.
We really enjoyed both pools. The main pool has a kitchen with full size fridge, microwave and 15+ tables with chairs. Both pools have gas grills which we used to cook lunch a few times, thus eliminating the need to go back to the unit. During our stay, there was never more than 10 people at the pool at any given time, outside of one occurance when a huge family (20+) showed up and candidly, took over the pool in a rude manner. It was for the most part quieter than a typical resort pool and everyone respected that idea. For us, it was exactly what we wanted.
Overall: this is a great unit in a great facility, in one of the most beautiful spots in the world. It is a bit of a hike to other parts of the island from here but Kapalua has so many amenities itself (restaurants, grocery, golf/tennis, free shuttle, etc), it is not as noticeable. We will absolutely look at staying here in the future. Mahalo!
