Condo 108 | Napili Bay Resort

Little Bit of Paradise

Jan from Half Moon Bay, California on 07/28/2010 said:

“ Wow! What a great little condo! You couldn't be any closer to Napili Beach, which is my favorite beach on Maui. Yet the the condos' slightly raised first floor location affords plenty of privacy from beach goers. The interior is very modern and well maintained, in addition to being well appointed and supplied with all basic necessities. We really wanted to "hang out" on the property, with the beach right there, and perfect for swimming, snorkeling and sunning. We will be back!! ”

Fantastic Vacation Location

Overall rating:
Nattypat from Napa, CA on 06/02/2010 said:

“ Had a great weeks vacation staying at Napili Bay in condo 108. Beautiful beach and relaxing atmosphere overall. Great falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the waves rolling in. The apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable stay (although I'd recommend bringing your own pillow to maximize your sleep experience!) The only annoyance during our stay were a group of people from a neighbouring complex who would 'reserve' the shaded area of the beach everyday. We are not sure what the connection was these people had, to be able to put up chain barriers and leave out their beach chairs (even overnight!) so that that area of the beach was permanantly unavailable to other guests. Very cheeky and very selfish. Otherwise, I would definantely recommend a stay at Napili Bay. We are hoping to return there for future vacations! ”

Manager response:

“ Aloha,
I've been coming to napili bay for 40 years and have not had that experence. they should not leave those chairs out all night or keep others out of that shaded area. I'm sure that wont happen again.
Mahalo for your input.
Owner 108. ”

Winter in Hawaii

Teresa from Council Bluffs, Iowa on 03/19/2010 said:

“ The condo was just as described, although it was smaller than it looked in the photos. The reviews stated everything was included, but no one stated if a hair dryer or ironing board was included and they were as well as a curling iron. We also were concerned if there would be beach chairs and of course there were. The only thing I couldn't find that we needed was a sheet pan. I liked the decor and the layout of the condo. The beach was gorgeous and right off the lanai. We loved the roar of the ocean surf. We did kill 5(five) roaches though, even though we took out the trash daily and vacuumed daily. We were there during the Tsunami warning and the owner was considerate to phone and advise up to move to higher ground. Unfortunately there were not a lot of restaurants/lounges to walk to. We were hoping for Tiki bars on the beach. We drove to Lahaina every day. We tried to go to one nearby restaurant one morning and the line to get a table was horribly long and they didn't serve cocktails so we again drove to Lahaina. However, if I got the opportunity to return, I would definitely stay in condo 108 again. ”

Riverwest from Victoria, B.C. on 03/06/2010 said:

“ We love this unit as it is clean, on the beach, is generally a small complex, has attentive owners and is in a beautiful area with no need to travel far. We don't like shops and commercialism so this fits the bill, but grocery stores and convenience stores are very close. Service was extraordingary. The beach is lovely but a bit steep, however, hundreds of children on the beach seemed to have no problems with it. I want to go back ASAP. . ”

 

Sleeping to the Oceans Song

JIM & PATTI from PLACENTIA, CA on 02/04/2010 said:

“ My wife and I loved the condo and its position approximately 50 feet from the edge of the water. The sound of the waves lulled us to sleep every night. We have missed that "song" every night since returning to the mainland! We only have one suggestion: Provide a couple of luggage racks upon which to set the suitcases. There is no current location except the floor for them. ”

Deenie from Fresno CA on 06/25/2009 said:

“ What a find! This was a wonderful home base for our vacation. The location was perfect, the condo was great, and the proximity to the beach is unbelievable! We were lulled to sleep every night by the sound of the waves. What a dream. I actually had trouble sleeping at home the first night because it was so quiet! I would definitely recommend #108 as a fantastic stay in paradise. Mahalo! ”

“ Thank you so much for sharing your condo with us. We enjoyed ourselves so much. It was wonderful listening to the waves break at night. The condo was beautiful and had everything we needed. The view was absolutely gorgeous. The beach was nice and not very crowded. I had an unexperienced snorkler with me and Napili Bay was easy to teach someone how to snorkel. Wish there were more restaurants close by, but we managed just fine. Thank you again and we will definatley be staying again in the future. PS - my aunt is a travel agent and I told her to make sure her clients new about these condos. Thank you Tonya Bradley from Idaho ”

“ I had promised my wife that we would go to Hawaii for our Honeymoon because she and I had never been there and the stay was fantastic. Staying in this Napili Bay Condo was a great decision. It is resonably priced and it has the advantage of a Kitchen and being located right on the beach. My wife and I could not have asked for a better spot to be for our vacation it was private, good sized and located in a gorgeous area with a lot of nice little shops and restaurants close by. My wife and I would highly recomend these condos to anyone. ”

cheryl from NYC from Sunnyside Queens, New York City on 04/25/2009 said:

“ My husband and I spend five gorgeous days in 108 last November. The condo is lovely and comfortable, with everything you need to have a great stay. The beach is steps away and beautiful at night. We missed the sounds of the crashing waves when we left... We found the local fish market (ask around for directions) and bought fresh fish on several night and cooked on the BBQ! So much better than eating out for every meal and staying in a condo is so much better than staying in a hotel - there's a level of comfort and homeliness that I really love. The on-site managers are very friendly and helpful as well! ”

Roaches

KTeach from Seattle, WA on 04/23/2009 said:

“ The first place we stayed in was room 108. We were switched the next morning because this home had a cockroach infestation. The first place was very nice, great decorations, nice kitchen, great up to date bathroom with a very nice shower. If it weren't for the cockroaches I would recommend it. The person in charge of the rentals moved us to an open home and the rest of our time was much nicer. This vacation property was right on the beach and I would stay at this property again just not this room. ”

Manager response:

“ We try hard to make sure there are no bugs in the units, but be warned; this is the tropics, if you leave the doors open and leave food and trash out you could get bugs. ”

Jesaj01 from Bowie, Maryland on 04/23/2009 said:

“ We stayed at the Napili Bay from September 1st to September 7th, 2007 in unit 108. We had a great time. The view is fantastic... you could not be closer to the water. It was apparent that the owners of the condo took great care to decorate and remodel. It took about one day to get used to the lack of a/c but the sound of the waves every night was a great trade off. We stayed at 3 other places while in Maui and hands down we preferred the Napili Bay condos. We plan to stay here on our next trip to Maui. I would definitely recommend this unit. ”

“ Great price, great location! Snorkel Bob's is close by and for $5 a day, you can snorkel right in the bay. We swam with 3 huge turtles. We stayed in 2 different condos as we booked last minute and they were very accommodating. All newly renovated. Barbeque area is great to purchase your own groceries and cook your own meals. ”

Bob&Betty from Olympia, Washington on 04/12/2009 said:

“ We're senior citizins and not able to do a lot of the physical activities available there but there was much to entertain us anyway! I watched the morning swimmers leave ane return as I read on the lanai, watched the turtles on the rocks, watched the people play in the water and sunbathe, and watched the awesome sunsets in the evening. We were convenient to great shopping, restaurants, and Lahaina town. The room was small but perfect for the two of us and clean and adorable. The jalousie windows, however, didn't block out any noise, a problem at night. ”

My Piece of True Paradise

Stacy from New Mexico on 04/03/2009 said:

“ I have stayed at three different units at the Napili Bay Resort Condos and each stay and unit has been amazing. I have traveled there with my best friend on our friendships 20th anniversary, traveled with my husband to enjoy a second honeymoon and most recently traveled alone to contemplate life. The property is low-key and right on the best beach in Maui. The water and the sand are beautiful in this spot. There are great restaurants and groceries nearby. It is a quick drive to Lahaina. The sound of the waves will lull you to sleep each night. This particular unit has been beautifully remodeled and is kept up very well, extremely clean, comfortable and practical. You will find everything you need in the kitchen (and the rest of the unit for that matter). This is not a "resort" and if you are looking for a high-end resort experience this may not be the place for you. If you are looking for the true Maui experience, the beach, beautiful views and sunsets, a "real" experience, I promise you that you will not be disappointed. In this unit the beach (public)is literally right outside of the lanai and there will be noise sometimes earlier in the morning than you might like, but remember, there is always time later in the day for a nap!I have burned the beautiful views into my mind to get me through the days at home. As I write this review I wish that I were there on the lanai sipping a cool drink and breathing in the beautiful smells and sounds of this breathtaking place.It is tempting to keep this place a secret, to be sure I can get in the next time the opportunity presents itself, but it would be selfish to hide this gem from anyone who is able to make the trip. Visit this property with confidence that it will be everything you have dreamed of! Aloha! ”

ray and deb davis from vancouver b.c on 04/02/2009 said:

“ Our plan was to hang out at the beach,stock the fridge with easy food and drinks and stay in Napili for most of our time. But that did not happen. we wanted to snorkel, read, swim and generally relax. The condo was right on the beach. But the beach access was a little disappointing as we could not access from the lanai. Great beach. great spot. adequete condo. Nice and modern. Did not like the window shutters. Too dark when closed. ( which is why the lights get left on i suspect) And when closed at night did not shut out the noise. Lapping waves is not how I would describe our experience. The noise was deafening. But we did get used to it after the first two nights. Unlucky for us the weather did not co operate one little bit. Just sheer bad luck. We had incredilby high surf, high winds, and very cool weather. we were there for 6 days. Most days it rained. we had been warned that this end of the island has less sun but were not prepared for what we got. Had the weather been good we may have had a different experience. But we had to leave the area and go to Kihei most every day to catch some sun. Unable to enjoy the area due to bad weather. But no one can control the weather so just plain bad luck i suppose. Surf so high dangerous to even attempt to swim. Snorkelling out of the question. So unfortuately it did not work out too well for us. Also a bit too secluded and not much in the way of places to eat. The condo was great. Nice and clean and very well equiped. We thought too many notes and rules and regulations about switching lights off and cleaning the shower stall. after every use!!!. they have sand issues in the condo. And its on the beach!! I did not feel like a paying guest. More like a non paying aquanitance owners appear paranoid about thier granite counter tops. I have granite in my own home so not sure what that was about. Perfect for two adults. Dont bring your kids unless you want to clean all the time. We wont be back. Sorry! ”

Cute, Campy Hawaiian Decor, but no air conditioning!!!

Overall rating:
hawaiibeachgirl from Olympia,Washington on 04/01/2009 said:

“ We chose to stay at Napili Bay because of the fabulous location. I chose unit 108 because the decor looked the happiest and more updated then some of the other units. The website was an exact representation. I'm an interior designer so my surroundings count! However, I do appreciate the "campyness" of Hawaiian Decor. This room was a bit "campy" It had a cute hula lamp etc. The unit did have a nice tiny,little kitchenette. But be careful,you can hear everything your neighbors are doing & saying clearly. This unit is compact & not having air conditioning was challenging. Blow drying my hair was not a pleasant experience!!! When we made reservations we requested a "towel trade" mid week because we didn't want to do laundry during a vacation, we were charged extra for this service. We were here for 10 days and then moved to a Hotel for our last week. My husband and I were both happy that we booked a luxury hotel for our last week on Maui. I guess when we are on a tropical escape we do prefer more amenities,services and pampering. ”

Manager response:

“ Napili bay is a very special place in hawaii. it is not a big hotel,it is a high end condo right on the beach , with a beautiful kitchen etc. four ceiling fans for your comfort,in the warmer months. aloha ”
