With this being our first time to the Hawaiian Islands and Maui specifically, we went with some research, but also with doubt and skepticism. Our positive attitude, faith, great descriptions and accurate pictures ahead of time paved the way for a remarkable visit. The area of Napili was (and is) absolutely perfect for us. Low -key, non-'resort-y' with walking distance to a wonderful general store with most anything you could need and, of course, Snorkle Bobs for the fins, masks and (eventually) wet-suit tops (highly recommended for longer stays in the water). The weather high 60's for the lows and 83 for the high with 'friendly' winds.
This and the area above Napili proved to be our favorite even after doing the Hana Highway and Southwest down to Big & Little Beach. A day trip to Haleakala was great, as was venturing upcountry to Paia and Makawao (our favorite upcountry town). As we are not the 'large resort, you must pamper me, mall shopping' types, where we stayed proved critical to one of the most memorable experiences we've ever had. In fact, life changing.
The condo was everything we'd hoped for and more. The view was intense and welcoming, parking was easy, finding the place was easy and getting around was equally easy. The condo was amazingly furnished and outfitted with kitchen utensils and pots, pans and dishes. Cooking and preparing (mostly breakfasts) was easy for us. Cleaning supplies helped too. The beach chairs and 'noodles' and beach towels were great to have. Leaving was the hardest part.

We were under the impression that this was a beachfront from the pic on Vrbo but it is off to the side. Units 101/201-109/209 are the only beachfront units. There is also no a.C. And if it would get real hot it would be stifling but there was always a great breeze. The light from the resort next door shines right into the balcony so they should fix that.
So that's the whiney stuff. It is very economical and the beach is wonderful. Snorkel Bobs is a block away. Snorkeling was better than the snorkel trip to Molokini. We should have spent more time just hanging out on the beach than traveling around the island. Napilli Bay beach is indeed a slice of heaven at a reasonable price unlike many other places in Maui. The other folks at the condo were very nice and friendly. They gave us suggestions on their favorite resteraunts. There is a small grocery walking distance and a larger one down the road. We'll definitely be back. We'd much rather spend more money on food than lodging.

I was really pleased with the Napili Bay Resort. I usually stay in Ka'anapali and had never ventured to Napili Bay. When I walked into the condo that was wonderfully furnished, well maintained, and had a gorgeous view of Molokai, I was extremely happy with my decision to stay at Napili Bay. This was one of my best trips to Maui, and I definitely plan on staying at Napili Bay on future, frequent trips to the island.

For a relaxing getaway, this is the place. It is right on a small beautiful beach for swimming. Snorkeling and turtles right off the beach. The unit has everything you need, and nothing you don't. The porch (lana'i) is great, and includes body boards and beach chairs. Bed is comfortable. Bathroom clean and plenty of space with a good closet. The kitchen has everything you need, but the counter space is a bit small for preparing a meal (and having the dish dryer out there). This place is an ideal location for just relaxing, listening to the waves (and wind), and getting away. However, it was our first time on Maui so we wanted to explore the island a lot. It is a little bit of a trek from many of the island sights: Haleakala, Hana. Even going into Lahaina is a little pain because of traffic and lack of parking there. But we loved our stay and would stay here again. Next time we will spend most of the time just in Napili. It is an ideal location for rest and relaxation.

The unit has comfortable, tropical-style furnishings, and is well-equipped. The balcony affords wonderful views of the ocean, beach and sunset. From there, we watched humpback whales and sea turtles. The balcony gets the afternoon and evening sunlight, so it's a great spot to sit and relax after a day of activities.

The check in was effortless. I was a little taken aback when we first opened the room up - it was a little stuffy, but after airing it out it was comfortable for the entire stay. The kitchen was functional and well equipped, aside from some chef knives which had been badly abused. Still managed to sharpen them up and get to chopping. One thing which was irritating was the flood light which is right outside the porch - seems to be there for asthetic purposes, but just hurt my eyes and detracted from seeing the stars. Oh well, you can walk down to the beach in 1 minute so comprimises can be made.
Snorkeling in Napili bay was good fun. Kapalua to the north is much better and we recommend visiting it with a short walk or getting to the parking around 9 or 10.
Bring your binoculars for whale spotting - we saw them every day from the beach. Several breaches and flipper flapping!
”
Manager response:
“
The flood light is used for security purposes. I have talked to the property manager and he has agreed that the light can be moved so that it will not shine in our unit. We have agreed to have that done by February 16<br />

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Napili Bay (Unit 212) From September 20th-27th. I have to commend the owners of the condo for providing a wonderful experience! The unit was well appointed, with plenty of room for 2 people to stay comfortably. The view from the lanai was great. You can see the beach, ocean, and point easily while sitting outside.
If you chose to stay here, you must make the 2 minute walk along the beach to the Gazebo Restaurant. Best breakfast on Maui!
The manager of the complex was very friendly as well. He was very helpful and keeps the complex looking great.
Stay here. You won't be disappointed.

We highly recommend the Napili Bay Resort! From the moment we made our reservation to the end of our trip, the owners and management staff anticipated and addressed every need and question that could have arisen. The owners give very complete instructions about accessing the condo, where things are inside, and what the specific amenities are. They are very friendly, helpful, responsible and attentive.
The condo itself was equipped with everything we needed, from basic toiletries, to kitchen appliances, and even folding chairs, an umbrella and boogie boards for the beach!
The condo is very comfortable for two people. It was clean and well-maintained. The kitchen is stocked with cooking equipment (including coffee maker, toaster, blender, etc.) Even without air conditioning it was quite comfortable. It was possible to get a breeze running through the condo quite easily by opening the blinds. The lanai had a great view (Unit 212).
The amenities that were included made planning our day trips and excursions a lot easier and simpler: a landline telephone, wireless Internet and cable TV. There are also laundry facilities on site and a common-use barbecue.
The beach is truly a gem. Sea turtles poke their heads up to see you, and all kinds of fish are around for great snorkeling. Napili Bay Resorts really has the best location on this beach.
The location was also fantastic. Within walking distance there are 3 general/grocery stores, a coffee shop, snorkel equipment rental, excellent restaurants, hiking trails, and several other lovely beaches. It's out of the way from the crowds and scarce parking of Lahaina, yet only about a 15-minute drive away.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Napili Bay Resort. The beach out front is great for soaking up the sun and it isn't loaded with tourists passing by. There are also a couple other adjoining bays that were fun for snorkeling. The room was small but definitely all we needed to make for a perfect romantic getaway. The sounds of the water at night made for peaceful sleeps! I'm pretty sure if you stay here too, you'll have a good time.

Condo 212 was excellent! It had everything we needed and even had bogie boards, beach umbrella, and chairs. The room was very clean and had extra blankets and towels. My only complaint was that the refrigerator was not cold enough on the first day and my ice cream melted and we had to move everything to our friend's refrigerator (They were staying at Napili Surf). But the refrigerator work well the next day. I was really happy that this room came with a steamer so I was able to steam rice. Overall, the stay was wonderful and we had a great time. Thank you for allowing us to stay at Condo 212.

My husband and I spent a wonderful week at the Napili Bay and enjoyed every aspect of Condo 212. It was furnished in a tasteful traditionally tropical manner, and we didn't miss having a big screen TV or dishwasher. Everything that we needed (beach chairs, boogie boards, beach towels) was provided for us. The condo was close enough to the beach to have a great view of the ocean and Molokai, yet far enough away to reduce the sound of the pounding surf. We have stayed in the Napili area before and condo 212 was our favorite experience. Napili Bay is a great location for morning walks, relaxing on the beach, playing in the surf, and whale watching. Several friends stayed in nearby units, and we enjoyed the nice BBQ and outdoor eating area together. We also really liked the Sea House, Gazeebo, and Pineapple Grille restuarants which are all within walking distance. Napili Bay is a true gem and we are already looking forward to our next visit.

We have stayed in the Napili area in the past and really enjoyed the area. This unit was very clean, had an amazing view from the lanai, and had exactly what we needed. It did seem to be a bit dated compared to other condos we have rented in the Napili area but really it had everything we needed. We thought the price was fair for February. We will definitly consider this condo again when we return to Napili Bay. The owner may want to know that the wireless network was unsecure (the password they provided wasn't needed).

We had a great time on Maui. The condo was clean and well-designed for 2 people. We used the kitchen to our benefit. Access to the gorgeous Napili beach was restricted to people staying at the condo, although, of course, by law all beaches in Hawaii are public, so Napili beach was crowded when we stayed there. That did not detract much from the beauty of the beach and the views of distant Molokai and Lanai. Also, within a 10-minute walk of the condo is public access to Kapalua Beach, named one of the world's top 100 beaches. Can't beat that! The condo is within a 15-minute drive of Lahaina and its many shopping malls and wonderful restaurants. I highly recommend any of the condos at Napili Bay Resort. This is our second time at this resort in the past 10 years, and it has not changed in satisfaction over that period.

We loved staying here, especially since it had a full kitchen, a view of the beach, and it was a stone's throw away from the beach to go relax. It was also really nice that there were beach items to use in the condo like chairs, umbrella, snorkel gear, etc! Air conditioning would have been nice only because it was unusually hot during our stay, and I was 6 months pregnant at the time. The mattress was also a bit too firm for my liking, but that is to be expected. I loved that this place was out of the way of the bigger touristy towns, leaving us with lots of privacy. The only part that we weren't too crazy about was that it is required that everyone be charged $100 for cleaning upon checkout, yet we were responsible for taking out the trash, doing the dishes, putting dirty towels in the appropriate place, etc. It only costs me $65 to get my whole 1870 sq. ft. house to be cleaned, so I think $100 for the tiny studio condo is a bit steep. All in all, we'd return for another visit!

The condo was in a perfect location, with an amazing ocean view. It was very comfortable and relaxing.
I loved that you could sit in your pajamas and watch the early morning ocean, or the sunset with turtles popping their heads out of the water. The kitchen was great to help save a little money on Maui.
It is very easy to hear your neighbors, so they may make or break the experience.

This studio condo was perfect for our honeymoon: casual, private and
steps away from the beach. We arrived to find a clean and well-
appointed room with a beach view, exactly as advertised. Far away
from the high-rise hotels and crowds, we shared our lovely beach with
a reasonable number of other guests, and enjoyed the few close
restaurants (The Sea House is a five minute walk away, and some of
the best food we had on the island). The snorkeling wasn't
spectacular, but there are plenty of other places on the island for that.
We highly recommend the condo: it's a great value, the location is
beautiful, and we look forward to returning ourselves!

We really enjoyed being so close to the beach. Its a small bay with a few other condos and the waves are a good size for everyone to play in and have a good time. There's some lava flow with tidepools, too. There were really nice beach chairs to use, plus boogie boards and beach towels. It was so nice to sit on the lanai and read out books or have a drink.
