The condo could probably use some updating, the furniture is a little worn and the rest of the condo is showing its age. Having said that there is nothing about this villa that would stop me from staying again. The location is great and the views are fantastic. There is nothing like sitting on the lanai in morning eating breakfast while watching the rainbows. Unfortunately we stayed while the humpback whales were away or we could have enjoyed them also.
If you don't mind a little walk there are two great beaches close, Napili Bay and Kapulua Bay. We enjoyed snorkeling at both of them and got to see the sea turtles almost every time. If you don't want to walk that far there is a shuttle that will get you close. We like to cook and eat in the condo and everything we needed except the food was there. The breezes through the condo were great, we shut off the air conditioner and opened the windows and doors the entire time. You can count on the birds waking you up shortly after sunrise but that was Ok, it's nice to get the day started early!
The Ridge Reality people were great. We didn't realize that we could have made arrangements to stay a little longer the last day, our flight home left late in the day. We contacted them the day before we were to leave and asked if this would still be possible. They rearranged there cleaning schedule and granted our request.
Its not very often that we take vacations where we don't have a least a few complaints or problems but this was one for the books!
