We rented unit 30 B-1 of the Bay Villas through vrbo.com and just got back to reality after a week in paradise. This unit was an oceanfront 1BR unit on the 2nd floor and had the most incredible view. Even though this unit was on the 2nd floor, it was level to the parking lot, so we didn't have to drag anything up and down a flight of stairs. After reading other reviews,weI was very nervous about renting here, but we were able to see many pictures of the actual unit we would be staying in at vrbo.com. The unit was being managed by a property management company and we got fresh towels and linens once during our one week stay. The property management company was a pleasure to deal with, met us at the unit and even helped us with printing out boarding passes. The unit was clean with an updated kitchen , new carpet in the living room, new flat screen TV and an enormous bathroom. Everything was working and in tip top shape. Our child slept in the sleeper sofa overlooking the ocean every day. One concern we had when renting was the ongoing construction. We never heard any construction, even though it was quite close. The construction did prevent walking access to Kapalua Bay Beach, but they have a nice public lot to access that beach nearby. We could access Oneola beach fairly easily (a walk down a path). The reason we loved this location was that it was close to Lahaina, yet it was quiet and peaceful. If you're looking for a spot to party all night, perhaps Kapalua isn't for you. This location was a bit windy, but it was really welcome on those 90 degree days when it was unbearable in Lahaina. The property was beautifully landscaped and maintained. We had 2 pools nearby and one pool had recent extensive renovations which included a grill. This unit is for sale on the Market. We must be a Mega Millions ticket to buy this incredible place. The view was worth every penny. The only thing we regret was leaving!

The location (golf resorts) is OK-there is not a beach too close by, you'll have to drive. But worst of all we had cockroaches everywhere!! The first one we found was bellied-up on the counter!! Then a few nights later there was one bigger than my middle finger in front of our door! The next morning there was another one in our hallway!! Staff and management weren't too cooperative about the problem, they actually told us that's part of staying in tropical climate! They claim to spray quarterly, but whatever is it that they are using, isn't working, because the size of the one outside our door is VERY large, so he's had enough time to grow to that size. The places are beautiful, but because of the severity of cockroaches, and how they can travel with people and spread, I don't want to go back there. Again, the staff and managers didn't really take this seriously, and roaches carry diseases and cause problems for asthmatics, just GROSS!! Don't stay there unless you want their cockroaches to come home with you, along with the hotel shampoo's, conditioners and lotions we all love to keep.
