Napili Bay Resort
Condo 108
Studio 1-Bath Beachfront Condo - Sleeps 2
Absolutely perfect!!
This condo is stocked with everything you might need- including beach chairs, umbrella and boogie board!!. There was nothing I needed- to cook or serve a meal- that was not found in the kitchen. The layout is perfect for 2 adults or 2 + 2 children on the pull out couch. The King bed was very comfortable and the view from the lanai was the best- particularly the sunsets. The beach is just around the end of the building- about 50'. The condo is walking distance to a few very nice restaurant; and a short ride to a mall with ample groceries. Other guests were friendly and considerate- absolutely quiet at night. We would not hesitate to stay here again.
This is a perfect Maui beach location
The condo was clean, well-appointed, new appliances, all the kitchen implements and supplies we needed. The tempurpedic mattress was a nice touch. Yeah, but, really it's all about that gorgeous location. Right on Napili Bay, which is a beautiful beach, easy swimming, great snorkeling, and perfect temperature. We loved our time there.
Perfect in all ways.
Condo 108 and the Napili Bay resort are perfect. From the furnishings and amenities to, of course, the view and beachfront location, we never want to leave to see the rest of the area. The best day for us was to be watching whales from the lanai, sipping mai tais, watching a college basketball game and waiting for the sunset. The rainbow to start the day was beautiful. We'll be back next year.
Another wonderful visit to Maui, closest possible to the beach.
This was our second stay at Napili Bay, first time in Unit 108. Comfortable bed, gorgeous proximity to the beach. Would stay there again.
great place to stay in maui!
excellent location and the condo got everything including a full kitchen (blender, toaster..all cooking needs, more equiped than my own home!). very convenient...saw a bunch of turtles while snokeling just down the bay :) will love to come back here again! it does get a little busy since its right on the beach, we didn't mind it much but there were a lot of family right outside during the day :)
Fabulous Getaway!!!
If you want a high rise, don't come here; if you want a partial little sliver of a view, don't come here; if you want something quaint, then come here; if you want the most incredible ocean front view, then come here; if you want the best time of your life, come here. We have been to Maui seven times - always in Napili. We went to the Westin one year - and got our money back because the ocean view we got, wasn't and the "balcony" was six inches wide. This was our first time at Napili Bay Resort - we are already planning on coming back again. When you open the door you see nothing but ocean - it's phenomenal! The room was impeccably clean. The amenities were amazing - including an iPod docking station. Everything is at your fingertips - boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrella - it was simply amazing and the best time ever. This was a spontaneous trip celebrating our 37th anniversary - it was the best!!! Thank you to the owners - it was spectacular!
the best location.
The Napili Bay Resort is the best location for the first time visit, it had every thing snorkling,two restaurant close by and sunset every night.
I would return at the drop of a hat!!
Nothing we didn't like. The beach was wonderful, surf was great, whales, spinner dolphins and turtles provided entertainment. Everything in this condo was top notch including fridge with ice maker, nothing missing. Napili Bay was relaxing and everything we could imagine. Bbq area was clean, well maintained and provided a friendly atmosphere. Laundry room was troublefree even provided a library of books (read and return).
Awesome!
We loved Napili Bay condo #108. Chuck was very friendly and helpful when we were booking. The condo itself is very nicely renovated, clean and well laid out with all of the amenities we needed which we really appreciated. We very much enjoyed being so close to the ocean, listening to the waves at night. I would definitely return to Condo #108. It certainly didn't bother us at all but, if you are looking for a very quiet and private condo I would recommend renting a garden view unit instead as this suite/lanai overlooks the beach which was busy during the day. Also there was a strong mothball odor in the condo which seemed to dissipate with all windows open and fans blowing.
This is a true Gem!!!
If you want to experience "old Hawaii" in a totally updated condo right on beautiful Napili Bay, then this is the place for you! We loved staying there and plan to return again. Mahalo!
Awesome condo and vacation
This was our second stay at Napili Bay Resort this year. We loved #108 and will reserve it every time we go to Maui. The condo is very well appointed and has a fabulous view of the bay and beach. The convenient beach access from this unit is wonderful. We definitely found our favorite vacation spot!
Whale Watching in February
This is a wonderful Condo. I will always come back here!
What a memorable vacation!
My husband and I enjoyed our stay while visiting Maui to celebrate our anniversary as well as attend a family wedding. We loved the condo and resort with the beautiful view and easy access to the beach. Should we ever visit Maui again we would definately check to see if this resort and condo are available!
affordable
luxury condo compromised by lack of privacy. Can hear others at all hours due to open screens, not windows.
fantastic!!!
Been to Napili Bay many times in the olden days. Bay is always great. Condos were fantastic this time. 108 has been redone and is beautiful! We are coming back!!!
Excellent low key holiday!
My husband and I stayed in Condo 108 for a week in april. For us, it was perfect and exactly what we had hoped! We are very low key and liked having a condo to ourselves, where we could cook our own meals, and eat them on the lanai looking out over the beach to people watch, look for sea turtles and whales spouting in the distance (there were binoculars in the condo). We intended to drive our rental car to Lahaina for dinners out, but ended up cooking every dinner on the barbecues (we purchased groceries in Kahului on or day trips) and looked forward to our private lanai dinners. We also made good use of the blender for tropical cocktails! Perhaps it was the time of year, but we saw no bugs, nor had any complaints about cleanliness. The only thing we noticed was that folks sitting on adjacent lanais did not seem to realize that their conversations were easily overheard... The sound of the waves, which we loved, covered most noise from people on the beach. The beach itself felt safe, and true to other reviews, had snorkeling, boogie boarding, and even on higher surf days, people trying to surf! The condo was small, but after 1/2 hr, we stopped noticing. Perfect holiday for people wanting a quiet Maui getaway.
Perfection
My Hubby and I have traveled to Maui multiple times and usually stay at a larger resort. From now on, I'll be booking at this smaller, intimate spot. Loved it! I was concerned about the "no air conditioning" but it wasn't an issue at all. The lovely breeze off the ocean was perfect, even during the warmest part of the day. The condo itself has everything you would need...even a nice cooler to take to the beach, beach chairs, boogie boards,,,everything! The view faces the ocean and is perfect for the sunsets. Can I book again now for next year??? Thanks for a wonderful time!
Maui on the Beach
This condo has everything we needed but I found the layout of the kitchen a bit awkward, the tall counter towards the living area could be a bit shorter and the length of the cooking area extended but that was my preference. The shower could be adapted by installing a door or a curtain as the configuration allows the spray from the shower head to bounce out of the stall if not careful. Other than that everything was pretty good. We love sitting on the lanai watching the folks on the beach and the whales.
Pleasant accomodations
This condo was exactly as specified on the website. No surprises. The view is exactly as pictured. It is in an excellent location for beach access. The appliances are top-notch and the condo is quite modern with granite countertops and a beautiful bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. We had no problems with bugs. There were more than enough linens and paper goods supplied for our stay. We did not find the rules unreasonable (as another reviewer implied) because almost everything listed were things we wouldn't do anyway. Just common sense. The only reason we're not giving it 5 stars is because of size. It is quite small but really is big enough for two. Plus the use of mirrors prevents it from being claustrophobic. We enjoyed our stay. The sound of the surf is quite loud as someone else mentioned. We didn't find voices on the beach to be a problem. If you walk along the main road toward Kapalua Bay you will find a wonderful coast walk called Kapalua Coast Trail. We unfortunately did not discover it until the day before we checked out but still did the short hike a couple of times. It is very easy and beautiful. The beach here in Napili Bay is quite popular so there were a lot of people on the beach everyday. It is nice for swimming and snorkeling. There is a coffee place up in Napili Square that has a wonderful ice blend mocha drink that my husband thought was better than a Starbucks Frappacino. Occasionally we heard people talking on a neighboring lanai and a couple of times got a whiff of cigarette smoke outside but these were very minor. As someone else mentioned, this is not a resort and there is no maid service, but it is a nice condo to use to enjoy a stay in the tropics.
2 weeks in paradise
If you can't tolerate the sound of the surf putting you to sleep at night, the beautiful unobstructed sunset view from your patio and the abundance of whales just offshore while being surrounded by the most friendly people you will ever meet, then this is not the place for you!
We loved our stay in Unit 108.
This unit was well appointed and recently fully remodeled. It was great to enjoy meals on the deck, right at the edge of the beach. The only surprise was how loud the surf is at night.
Was one of our best trips to Napili yet
The Napili Condos are a spectacular way to spend time in Maui. Located in the best bay on Maui in my opinion. Great spas and Restaurants located close as well as the famous Kaanapali golf courses. Loved our trip, will be back next year!
Little Bit of Paradise
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
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
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.
This is an immaculate and very pleasant accommodation for two.
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
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.
Napili Bay-Awesme
We loved it at The Napii Bay. Will be back. Best site on a great beach. Saw whales or spouts everyday. Snorkeled with sea turtles within 30 ft of the beach. What made it even better was that it was -20 degrees back home.
Napili Bay #108 - Paradise
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!
What a beautiful place to stay.
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
What a wonderful week
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.
Beautiful stay!
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!
Awesome Place
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.
Roaches
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. ”
honeymoon
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.
A watchers delight
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 FAVORITE PLACE
I LOVE THIS PLACE. I TELL ALL MY FRIENDS IF THEY WANT THE PERFECT VACATION, LOTS TO DO,LOTS OF PEACE AND QUIET AND BEAUTIFUL SCENERY RIGHT ON THE OCEAN WHERE YOU SLEEP LIKE A BABY TO THE SOUND OF THE OCEAN RIGHT IN YOUR ROOM , THIS IS THE PLACE AND THE GREATEST RESTRAUNTS TOO. OR STAY AT THE CONDO AND COOK INSIDE OR OUT. I CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK.THE PARASAILING IS GREAT TOO . NEXT TIME I'M GOING ZIPLINING. AND IM NOT SO YOUNG ANY MORE. I'VE TAKEN MY CHILDREN AND MY THEN 16 YEAR OLD GRANDAUGHTER AND THEY LOVE IT AS I DO THANX ALOA CONDOS FOR GIVING ME A GREAT PLACE TO RELAX AND HAVE FUN IN YOUR BEAUTIFUL CONDO AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE TOO. GOD BLESS YOU ALL
My Piece of True Paradise
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!
Tranquil Memories
I had one of the most memorable vacations of my life & I have travelled extensively. Very beautiful location! Very peaceful with all the amenities required.
Peace and comfort
I adore this place and Maui in every conceivable way. I actually came here by myself after Christmas 2 years ago in an effort to find some peace and quiet and beauty. I was not disappointed. My unit was small, comfortable, clean and every night I listened to the waves slapping the beach...a sound I have not heard since childhood. Complete heaven.
My favorite on Maui
We loved our stay at Napili Bay. It's a beautiful relaxing spot. Romantic sunsets, and great for swimming and snorkling. I can't wait to go back! The condo was clean, well supplied, and comfortable. The best spot on the beach!
nice secluded beach
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!
Manager response:
“ The weather at napili bay is usually great. the high surf like that is usually fantastic to watch sincce it doesnt happen that often. aloha ”
Piece of Heaven
This is such a wonderful condo,right on the bay. What more could you ask for. It is in a lovely,quite neighborhood. A spectacular view and a great beach right at your doorstep.
Amazing location and access
Napili Bay and #108 helped make my first trip to Hawaii (and seeing the ocean for the first time) the most incredible experience ever. Everything was perfect! I spent Valentine's Day grilling steaks on the BBQ and taking in the most beautiful sunset imaginable. I could not have wanted for more. I have recommended it to many. ; )
Cute, Campy Hawaiian Decor, but no air conditioning!!!
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 ”
Best Vacation Spot...ever!
A beautiful condo right on the beach at Napili Bay. The condo is nicely remodeled and very comfortable. If you go in the winter, you can watch the whales from the Lanai.
