We have been coming to Maui for many years, and this is the first time we have not stayed on the beach. We enjoyed this stay the most of any. The unit was stocked with amenities like shampoo, conditioner and soaps (including laundry detergent) in sufficient quantity for our two week stay. The bed was very comfortable. Kapalua beach is a left turn out the door, and a short 15 minute walk. It has some of the best snorkling on the island, and this unit has all the gear you need to snorkle. We took the provided beach umbrella, and set up. The general store that you drive by inside the Kapalua Golf Course property has competitively priced food, souvenirs, medicine, full liquor store, hot/cold deli…even hot prime rib for under $20. Again, about a 15 minute walk from this unit. We also walked down to the beach trail, made a right and followed it down to the Ritz Carlton beach restaurant. The tables are open air, right next to the beach. The food is a little spendy for burgers, but you’re on the beach in Maui! Spoil yourself a little. If you want to use boogie boards in the unit, take the same walk straight towards Kapalua bay, go left at the beach and keep walking until you see the big Long Beach that is Napili. There are usually small waves to ride on the far end of the beach.
Last but not least, we loved this unit! The lanai is peaceful, with comfortable furniture, and the views of the golf course are stunning. It is thoughtfully appointed, and we would definitely come back!
