KAPALUA – Kapalua Bay Villas, built in 1978 as the first condominium in Kapalua Resort, is located oceanfront on over 16 acres.

There are 141 individually owned units with 25 active listings, three pending sales and five closings in 2012. Asking prices range from $775,000 to $2,195,000. Square footage ranges from 989 square feet to over 1,600 square feet in a one- or two-bedroom configuration, with up to three bathrooms in the larger units.

Many units are being offered fully furnished. Most units have two or more lanais, so you may enjoy an indoor/outdoor lifestyle. An interesting Kapalua Bay Villas fact – when you check out the tsunami inundation maps, every Kapalua Bay Villa is outside of the inundation zone. This translates to Kapalua Bay Villas being oceanfront but located on very high cliffs. The location provides great views of Molokai, crashing surf, sunsets and, of course, whale watching in season.

There are three pools with barbecue areas available for guests and residents’ use. Two tennis courts are on-property as well as the nearby Kapalua Tennis Garden. Kapalua Bay Villas are a short walk to many Kapalua attractions: Merriman’s Restaurant, Kapalua Bay, Kapalua Spa, Oneloa Bay, Ritz-Carlton Hotel and Pineapple Grill. There is a resort shuttle with resort-wide service, including to Sansei Restaurant, and the Plantation House Restaurant & Golf Course. The Kapalua Coastal Trail passes directly in front of the Kapalua Bay Villas.
