Kaleialoha Resort
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.

Great location, well equipped, and clean
We stayed in condo 109 for 3 nights in May 2013. Everything was as described. Great beachfront location. Well equipped, clean unit. Unit is small, but well designed for a couple. We would stay here again.

Lahaina Roads Condos
Heaven on earth!
We recently enjoyed a week long stay in unit 412. Instantly your stress levels lower, as you look out on the the lanai and see the view. Seeing the waves crashing on the rocks below, the many turtles hanging out just below the unit, the smells of fresh flowers and people barbecuing. Relaxation! Although there is no beach in front of the place, we did swim and snorkel just a few steps to the south where there is a small beach where you can enter the water. The unit was comfortable, quiet, and convenient to stores and great places to eat out. The pool was refreshing and warm. Unit has its own parking spot which can be a bit tight if others do not park well next to you. We had an amazing stay in unit 412!

Maui Kai Beach Resort
Wow, we want to live here! You won't be disappointed.
Absolutely fantastic updated condo right on the beach, literally 20ft to the water, with a killer view. Beautiful gift basket waiting for us when we arrived, clean well stocked kitchen and a dishwasher so no washing dishes on your relaxing holiday. Large shower with plenty of hot water. Very comfortable bed and big screen TV. Lanai where you can soak in the view, supplied with cooler, boogie board, chairs, beach umbrella, etc. Easy parking right outside. We had such a relaxing holiday, spent mostly in the water snorkeling with turtles and reef fish, or just bobbing around in the warm water watching the spectacular sunset. Breakfast to the left side of beach, happy hour to the right side and BBQ for dinner at the condo. Bliss! Booking and confirmation was a very easy process via email and very friendly too. The folks in the condo next door had been visiting every year since the condos were built, and we can see why. But this condo is the best due to the updated interior and superior facilities. Book it, you won't be disappointed. But make sure you leave us a free week as we will be visiting again next year :)

What great place to stay!
We arrived at this condo on april 26, 2013 and stayed for 7 days. We were so delighted to find the condo not only very clean but with one of the best views of the ocean I have ever experienced. While at the condo I believe I spent ninety percent of my time on the lanai viewing the sunset and other activities in the water below the condo. The sunsets were breathtaking to say the least. Although we did not see any whales we did see plenty of Marine life from the lanai. This condo is located in a great location and you have plenty of areas to choose from for dinner, shopping and entertainment.. You are within minutes of great snorkeling locations if you choose to leave the condo to explore other areas. However, there really is no need to leave the condo area because there is great snorkeling and other water activity located on the site. They have a very relaxing pool that has plenty of sun or shade depending on your desires. The owners of this condo have taken great lengths to make sure that they have provided enough information on all activities around the area and there is a detailed book that you can reference. The condo has all the amenities that you could possibly want for a vacation site. The TV and entertainment center was excellent and there is also a TV in the bedroom. All of the kitchen equipment is very clean and well taken care of which provides a place for preparing breakfast or any other meal. We felt so at home at this location and believe if you consider it you will also. You cannot go wrong with the price or the accommodations and the clean environment you will be spending your time in. Book it !

Already making plans for next year!
From the moment we walked in the door and out onto the lanai, we new we were coming back. The condo is very clean and updated. Although there is no air conditioning the cross breeze kept the condo real cool and comfortable. We loved being right on the beach. The BBQ area is a great way to meet new people and is also very clean. Parking is great, there is a little general store that you can walk to for last minute items or a bottle of wine. We enjoyed every minute of our experience there. See you next year!

Napili Bay Resort
really nice in so many ways
the kitchen and bath are beautifully upgraded. very clean and comfortable. the lanai is really nice, perfect view, feeling of privacy even though being ocean front it is not. easy to get to beach but the gate lock is not working well at all and needs to be fixed. great family beach, great snorkeling with turtles.

Awesome location for our Honeymoon
We only stayed for 4 nights and wish we stayed longer...the bay is beautiful and water is crystal clear. The unit #208 was fully stocked had we chosen to cook... We watched turtles swim the bay and took advantage of the restaurants nearby. Its just a quick drive to Lahaina and other "touristy" areas. My wife and I highly recomend Napili Bay Resort. Ps...was looking forawrd to a welcome basket like others had described but didn't get one...still awesome though

Home in Paradise
We enjoyed a wonderful week at the Polynesian Shores Condo 213 in March 2013. The process to book & pay for the condo was seamless & when we arrived we felt 'at home'! The condo is spotless with lots of thoughtful touches like fresh sponges & dish soap, lots of good quality towels, high quality linens, beach chairs & a cooler (which we used every day to go down to the little beach in front of the property!) and a well stocked kitchen. We picked up supplies and did most of our cooking - spending a lot of time enjoying meals & drinks on the lanai while whale watching! We loved getting to know the neighbour Erin - he was always full of great stories and left the paper for us each morning - a true character. The property itself is small but very well kept and with a nice community feel. The location was excellent and we enjoyed our week of R&R.;

Super Relaxing
We had such a wonderful time at Napili Bay Condo #110. It was newly remodeled, very clean and comfortable, and had all the kitchen and beach amenities necessary. Moreover, Napili Bay is in an ideal location on West Maui. From our condo, we had a great view of the beach, Pacific Ocean, and Maui Sunsets, which just made our trip very relaxing and fun. We can't wait to return.

Our home away from home
The condo was everything we hoped it would be. The kitchen is well appointed with storage containers and every utensil you can think of. Being on the first floor allowed us to walk from our lanai directly to the pool and beach. It was nice to let the waves lull us to sleep each night and we were astonished by how many whale sightings we saw...too bad we forgot our binoculars

This was a Beautiful Beachfront Vacation
My wife and I traveled to Maui for our first time to stay in the Maui Kai in Condo 108 and we were very pleased. Our building was the closest to the water of any condo we saw in the 2 mile stretch we walked along the beach. Our condo specifically is the only condo in the building with a walkout to the outside and beach access from the back of the building, the other condos only have closed balconies (Lanais) out the back. We were able to watch the whales breaching and playing very easily from our Lanai while we sat and relaxed. There is a nice kitchen that is well-stocked with many appliances that will allow you to cook just about anything. There is also a grocery store, a farmer's market, and a fresh fish market very close to the Maui Kai for stocking the fridge. The condo stayed rather cool in general with just the ceiling fans on, but the air-conditioning rapidly cools down the condo if the need should arise. The only downside we found to the condo was that there was no daily maid service, which may be an option, however, we did not have that option, so we had to do laundry on our towels multiple times during our stay, however, there is a nearby This is a very well-maintained and clean condo and I would definitely stay there again without any hesitation.

Peaceful, with garden and partial ocean view
I spent 3 nights in Napili Bay condo unit #216 and would definitely return! It's a perfect location - walking distance to the beach, snorkel and paddleboat rentals, restaurant, grocery stores and plenty of parking. Napili Bay is excellent for swimming, baking in the sun and snorkeling. The unit was very clean and well decorated. It's a studio and on a smaller side, but the bed was very comfortable and furniture well placed so it seemed bigger. Birds and the ocean can get a little loud, but I got used to it quickly. This place felt like home rather than someone else's condo or a hotel. I've visited Hawaii 3 times, and this was my favorite place to stay.

Condo 218 at Napili Bay Condominiums
My husband and I recently returned home from a Maui vacation which included four nights in room #218 at Napili Bay Condominiums. From the moment we entered the condo, we knew we had made a very good choice for a place to stay in this area. We had a wonderful, delicious, and fun-item filled gift basket awaiting us, providing a very sweet & welcoming touch! Out on the lanai, where we had a beautiful ocean view complete with many playful whales, there were all sorts of items to make our stay more comfortable, including snorkeling equipment, an umbrella, and great beach chairs. The condo itself was in great shape, airy and clean, with all the facilities necessary for snack and full meal preparation. The bed was extremely comfortable, and there was wi-fi for our convenience. We explored the area thoroughly, especially enjoying the snorkeling right at Napili Bay,and were very happy with our decision to stay in this area. We will definitely be back and felt that condo #218 was an incredible deal! Thanks so much for your efforts to ensure customer satisfaction, comfort,and happiness!

Awesome!!
This is our second stay at this condo. We came back to the same place because it was perfect the first time. The second time didn't disappoint. It's affordable, a perfect location and the people in the condos around you are super nice. What a wonderful experience. What could be better than be right on the ocean watching sea turtles and whales? We cannot possibly tell you the benefits of this condo. It's a splendid experience and we highly recommend staying here.

4 beautiful days
If you want to be on the beach, you can't get any closer. You look down on a narrow walkway, and then the ocean is right there. Every morning we made coffee and watched the humpback whales out in the channel. And great beaches for walking, snorkeling, body boarding on both sides.
—SantaRosa (03/28/2013)
Our stay in condo 211 was amazing!
The owners take great pride in their condo and it shows. We truly had all the comforts of home right there, the kitchen and bath was beautifully done. Kitchen had a built in dishwasher, did not expect that and the bed was so comfortable, slept great everynight. Leland, the on site manager really made us feel welcome there, he would make a point to smile and wave everytime he saw us. We will make this our place to stay when we come to Maui for now on!

Relax on a beatiful beach for a stress free vacation
My wife adn I spent our 10th visit to Hawaii at unit 212 Napili Bay resort. We have visited 5 of the islands and have stayed at over 20 different condo complexes, two bedroom, one bedroom, studios, on the water away from the water, ocean front, ocean view you name it. We consider ourselves very experienced Hawaii vacationers. This was by far our new most favorite location to stay. The Napili Bay beach is totally awesome, sit in the sun, sit in the shade, swim, bob, snorkel or boogey board. The Gazebo restaurant next door has awesome breakfast on the south end of the bay and the Seahouse has awesome dinner on the north end of the bay both walking distance along the beach. The room has been recently updated with a whole new kitchen and the bed was very comfortable, the wireless internet worked well and had strong signal, important for me to keep in touch with work while whale watching from the lanai. The complex is super well maintained, the ouside eating and BBQ area is clean and maintained, the laundry room is clean and well maintained. The Napili Market Place is close enough to walk to and has a nice size grocery store and teh Napili General store is next door. We drove less during this stay because the location was so perfect. Lyn was vey profesional in her corespondence with us, kept us updated as the date approached and ensured we had the instructions for check in and check out. The local overseer checked in on us while we were there so we always felt cared for during our stay. We loved our stay at Napili Bay unit 212 and will be back.

Very clean, lots of space and most welcoming with incredible vi
Sitting on your lanai at the edge of the water, turtles swim by, whales jump further out and you're at peace, because it's still freezing back home and your drink is cold. This condo is so fine I hesitate to say too much as our soon to be regular trips here could get filled up. Anyway our fist thoughts when entering is "this is just like home because it's so welcoming, clean and comfortable" The local manager even fixed a broken splash guard on our rental car which was very kind of him. Can't get much better than that.

Nohonani Condos and Resort
Fabulous ocean-front condo with your own sea-turtle on your back
This ground-floor two-bedroom condo was well-equipped and well-furnished, allowing the four of us -- myself, my wife, and two grown sons -- to enjoy a relaxing and stimulating week on the west shore of Maui. Green turtles were common in the colorful reefs just offshore, and one crawled up on the beach for a snooze during most of the nights we were there. If you don't cater to salt water, a swimmable fresh water pool offers an option on the other side of the patio. The 180-degree ocean view toward Molokai was decorated with frequently lovely sunsets and the occasional breaching humpback whale during our stay. Making dinner was easy in the fully-appointed kitchen, with a pair of available grills at the end of the patio for the steak or fresh fish available locally. Parking was never fully occupied, and one could get any necessary food items at an organic food store a short walk down the road. It made a great base for exploring Maui, but as the week went by, we ventured away from this comfortable haven less and less, and just relaxed in the natural beauty, breeze, and sunshine. It was painful to leave at the end of the week.

Amazing experience...
We had an amazing experience in Napili Bay.. The accomodations exceeded are expectations.. The gift basket was a really nice welcoming touch.. The unit was fully stocked with everything we needed to relax and enjoy our stay.. The bed was amazing and so much so that we just purchased one today..The resort overall was very well kept and quiet.. The aloha spirit is alive and well in Napili Bay.. We saw sea turtles and a monk seal. The beach was clean and very relaxing.. We are looking forward to returning next year.. Thanks for everything Jim.. :)

Turtles and Sun
We spent 11 nights. The location of the condo in the complex is great. It is 10 feet from the ocean. We spent a lot of time sitting on the lanai looking at the ocean, eating dinner, watching the sunset etc... The layout is great for two people. There are 3 Bbq's that were great to cook on. The pool is less than a year old and wonderful. The condo was easy to keep cool. There are several turtles that hang out in front of the condos that are easy to see. Snorkeling is good too. There are two beach chairs and an umbrella that were very handy when we went to other beaches. The onsite laundry facilities were across the hall. There are a few books in the condo. I left a few more. Very relaxing vacation!!! Note: If you want to watch TV this is not the condo for you... the wave noise is too loud to hear the TV...

Thanks for an awesome vacation!
We had a wonderful trip to Maui, and this condo became our home away from home. The location was excellent, and we were able to walk to a convenience store, market and several restaurants.

“ We greatly enjoyed our stay at Kaleialoha #105. The condo was exactly as represented in the listing (loved the videos - we knew what to expect and it delivered). The location was convenient (close to the amenities of Ka'anapali, without being in Ka'anapali) and the Lahaina harbor was only about 10 minutes away. The green sea turtles in the ocean just outside the condo were a real treat. Loved the sound of the waves - we ate breakfast on the lanai every day. One of the neighbors blew the conch shell so everyone would come outside to watch the sunset every day - what a treat! Having the washer/dryer in the unit was a big plus. Stop at Costco (next to the airport) when you arrive to stock up on food, aloha shirts, discounted dinner cruises, and macadamia nut gifts (just don't tell your friends you brought their presents at Costco). The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to make breakfast every day and dinner when we didn't feel like going out. ”

“ The condo size and appointments are absolutely wonderful, but don't attempt to move a beach-side lounge chair onto the the ground-level lanai as the on-site "lounge chair monitor" takes a count each day. Not being one who likes to be in public view, I moved one of the lounges onto our lanai, but despite the maximum number of people ever using the 18 chairs on a daily basis, having one on our lanai was unacceptable and removed by the manager :( Other than that and a closure of the swimming pool for 1-1/2 days for maintenance...our stay was delightful and we will return. ”

A short drive to Front Street in Lahaina. We went to the Old Lahaina Luau, had cocktails at The Mixed Plate next door before the show. Saw Cirque Polynesia. Also, went to the Kupanaha Magic show dinner theater at the Kaanapali Beach Hotel. The condo was comfortable and well equipped and it was great having a washer/dryer in the unit. Loved the large shower. The only con was that it got a bit warm in the unit a few times. The fans were helpful. Too bad the association didn't allow screen doors to be put on the front doors.

“ Nice clean first floor condo opens to grassy area to seawall. Genereally pretty quiet, wxcept for the roar of the waves. Access via steps to beach close by; the beach here is submerged during high tide. Ocean bottom is sandy with rocks protruding, and more rocks offshore for snorkeling. Living room/kitchen is bright and cheery. Kitchen is reasonably well equipped, and there were also a few basic spices and coffee items, paper goods, and the like. Good place to cook you own meals (also Bbqs close by). Bedroom is kind of dark, since windows there open to enclosed entry area. About a mile to convenient supermarket, and strip mall type restaurants close by. Not luxurious, but for the price, excellent location, and nice unit, it's a great value. ”

“ When we go to Hawaii we want to spend as little time indoors as possible. This condo was a great place to stay for people who are not interested in fancy pants hotels. On the minus side it could use an air conditioning unit for the hotter months and the internet was out. There was no cleaning spray for the counters in the kitchen and insufficient soap in the bathroom for the length of our stay. Finally, the shades on the bedroom window were basically homemade, kept falling down and allowed the obnoxious outdoor passage lighting to beam in at night and keep us awake. ”

“ We stayed in Condo 105, and we couldn't ask for anything else. We had our 20 month old baby with us, and it was perfect. She loved the grass to play on and she loved going down to the beach. Everything was very clean. The Farmer's Market was an easy 5 minute walk, with a playground right across the street. One of the mornings we were having breakfast, and a pod of whales were showing off about 150 yards away. One of the many highlights of our trip. Thank You! ”

SDBill from San Diego on 04/07/2010 said:
“ We had the condo for a week. We appreciated the nice welcome basket and the location facing the ocean was great. We literally watched whales jumping out of the ocean right from the patio. We also saw sea turtles come right up to the sea wall. The ground floor location had some access advantages, but was also often noisy with people walking right in front of you and playing catch, etc. in a way that really invaded our perceived space. Nothing that could really be helped. The condo has a nice (though out-dated) kitchen, although some of the teflon pans have deep scratches that are not healthy & should really be replaced. The furniture inside & out was all pretty out-dated and well worn. The condo comes with internet, but we never did get a connection to it, which was a disappointment. The bedroom was small, but we thought the bed was comfortable and storage was adequate for our needs. The furniture in the living area was just not very comfortable - fortunately, we did not spend that much time there. The TV was pretty old and small - which normally would not be that big of an issue since we like to be elsewhere most of the time, but it was the NCAA basketball tournament. We were provided a motion detector, which made us concerned for security, and we discovered it was so sensitive it was an annoyance & we didn't use it - just locked up at night. With noise around us on the lawn, it was just as well. Proximity to Lahaina was good - some nice restaurants and beaches are nearby. We have been to Maui many times, so it goes without saying that Maui is a truly wonderful place, and this is a very nice part of the island to stay. I suspect next time we would stay elsewhere in Maui, although overall, we did have a pleasant time here. ”

They made us feel we were still home and just having a neighborhood party every day at 5:00 in time for the sun to set. The condo itself was perfect for the two of us. The convenience of being on the first floor was nice. Open the patio door to the lanai and heaven was waiting for you.Steps away from the water and the sea turtles that visited every day were so exciting. The convenience of grocery stores and places to walk within a short distance was also great. We highly recommend for those who are looking for relaxation and the quiet side. ”

“ We loved unit 105. Its location was great and the others at the location were very friendly. It brought back fond memories of my stay on the same highway as a kid nearly 40 years earlier. The views every day and sunsets every night were stunning. The first floor location and ability to walk right out onto the lawn and overlook the shore made this condo functionally much larger than its actual footprint. Both adults and both kids (boys 8 and 2) thought it was terrific. The wifi access was a bit odd, with my laptop only occasionally getting a signal, but that was very minor. (After all, if you're on your laptop much with a view like that of 105, you're nuts!) ”

sbraun0101 from Montana on 11/06/2009 said:
“ This unit is tastefully decorated and nicely furnished. However, upon awaking our first morning we were puzzled to see metal poles standing immediately outside the lanai door. Then upon further inspection tools, paint buckets, air compressors, and much more were strewn around the lanai. Since we are travling with a 2 year old this immediately meant that the lanai area was dangerous. At 8 AM a work crew showed up and closed off our access to the ocean-- both from the unit and the steps around the building-so much for all of the promises of ocean and 30 steps to the waves. After telephoning the owner we were immediately offered a 50% discount or the option to move out...considering that a day had already been wasted and we had already settled into the unit and that we had not traveled to Maui to spend all of our time searching for a new unit or packing and unpacking several times. Of course the owner, being an attorney and real estate broker, knew that she was in trouble. There is no excuse for not knowing what is happening at your own unit, especially since the construction had been continuing for several weeks. There are many other units in the same area as well as better locations in Kihei. In general the Big Island has much more to offer compared to Maui. ”
Manager response:
“ I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the work being done on the property. We were under the impression that you were quite satisfied with our offer of a half-price stay and would certainly have helped you find an alternate accommodation. The fact is that property management did not notify us of this project as they normally do. Had we been aware that work was to take place, we would have notified you immediately and made every effort to accommodate you. ”

The manager had keys waiting for us on arrival. Everything was in order when we arrived, and we were pleased to learn that the pictures online matched the home. It's actually nicer than the pictures! We had to extend our stay 1 day early and Cheri could not have been more accommodating. We'd definitely recommend this condo - especially if you're looking to relax and want to spend a lot of your vacation at the beach. We cooked, on both the gas and the charcol grills and they were clean and ready to use. With stores in Lahaina and a local natural food store all our needs were met.

Everyone was friendly, made us feel welcome even thoughwe were short term, and recommended things to do and places to eat. I wanted to see whales and sea turtles and we were told to just look out at the water. We saw more whales (at a distance) than we did later on a whale watching boat trip.

“ This cozy unit made our stay in Maui pleasant. As new parents, it was great to feel like we were enjoying it all (whales and Maui sunsets from the lanai or even the couch!) even though we needed to stay close to 'home' much of the time. The parking lot is small so it was so easy to tote baby and gear to and from the condo. We appreciated the nearby amenities as well such as a kids' playpark and supermarket. Having laundry right in the unit was very handy and a feature we will seek out at other destinations. The kitchen was so well-stocked that we even ended up making baby food there (the selection of 'bought' food wasn't great, even at Wal-Mart). Since the whole focus of this review has been the family-friendliness of Unit 105, I will mention that we did have enough room in the bedroom for a crib (great baby rentals on Maui!) but there is no bath tub, only a shower. Lastly, if you do go, make sure to take your garbage out frequently, in just a few days, creepy crawlies will come to visit. We felt so safe letting our little guy play because it's a ground-floor unit. The location is also very handy for setting out for other beaches in the area. We especially recommend taking a snorkel set out to Kahana Bay -the fish were fantastic! :-) ”

The condo (105) was just as described, the pictures found on their website (www.alohacondos.com) are exactly what it looked like and we really enjoyed being on the ground floor, just a short skip to the lawn chairs and BBQ. We bought groceries and cooked most of the time we stayed and this was an added plus, the kitchen was fully stocked with pots & pans, dishes, silverware, everything we needed and felt right at home. The condo isn't a part of the Kaleialoha Resort but the staff couldn't have been more helpful in answering questions and giving us information about best places to eat and visit (and so were the other tenants and homeowners). There's no beach directly in front of the resort but made no difference, the snorkeling was good, we had sea turtles not more then 5 feet away and it's a short walk to Black Beach.

The well stocked condo had everything you could need, including beach chairs, Boogie Board and something they didn't advertise, a private washer and dryer.The Lanai is about 15 steps to the ocean, where every day we would watch the turtles feeding and the whales breaching. There is a small beach (went swimming there 3 times) but its probably more accessible in the Spring, Summer and Fall. The back off the Lanai is well grassed and lots of lounge chairs for sunning. If you are looking for parties and night life in you place of residence, this is not the place for you. If however you are looking for a quiet well kept little peace of heaven to recharge your batteries, this would be a great place for you to go. For us, it was just a wonderful restful 3 weeks.

“ My husband and I recently got home from our annual trip to Hawaii. Our last week was spent on Maui at Kaleialoha 412. We have stayed at various rental condos on previous trips to Maui. All of them have been very comfortable and all have been oceanfront, but Kaleialoha 412 is the best! It is "no ka oi" as they say in Hawaii; we both feel that we've finally found our Maui home away from home and already have our reservations for next year. From the moment we first entered this unit, we were charmed by the beautiful decor and all the amenities, not to mention the gorgeous view! And the owners had left us a lovely welcome package on the kitchen counter - what a very warm and gracious gesture! The unit was stocked with everything we could possibly need. The kitchen was fully equipped and included a garbage disposal and dishwasher. The bedroom has a super-comfortable king-size bed, and we loved hearing the ocean in the background as we went to sleep each night. The living room has a DVD player and a CD player in addition to a large-screen TV. The owners even have a collection of Cd's there for their guests to enjoy. In the storage closet they have provided lots of beach gear - beach chairs, mats, folding camp chairs, boogie boards, coolers, etc. They've really thought of everything! Our favorite place in the condo was on the lanai watching the activity on the water - catamarans, surfers, paddleboarders, snorkelers, etc. And a special treat was watching the green sea turtles swimming around the rocky reef just offshore - turtles in the morning with coffee, turtles in the evening with dinner and turtles even late at night. The water is so incredibly clear that we could easily see them by moonlight. And the sunsets were incredible - a blaze of color every evening in the channel between Molokai and Lanai! The Kaleialoha property itself is very attractive and well-maintained and is in a perfect location - close to Lahaina, but in the quiet town of Honokawai. ”

“ Was a great condo. We have stayed at the Kaleialoha many times. This was the easiest check in and everything ran very smoothly. The condo is very clean and great quality. If there was one thing I can think of that needed changing is the pots and pans etc. We love to cook and found them to be very low quality. I did not find a kettle and so had to boil water in the aluminum pots. I also thought the forks, knives etc could be a higher quality. It seems petty, but someone who loves to cook will notice this as well. Otherwise, all was perfect! ”

My wife loves to cook and found the kitchen very well stocked with quality kitchenware. The view is fantastic and the bed is very comfortable. The laundry center made things so convenient and the proximity to our favorite restaurants, stores, and snorkeling areas was an added bonus. We are vacation owners ourselves and probably expect a little more than some other guests-and we got it! Thanks so much for sharing your home and we will be back! Jack and Sue from Tucson ”

“ The view was just like the pictures show (but, of course, a million times better in real life), the condo's beach was perfect for ocean dips whenever we felt like it, and the condo itself was well-supplied with everything we needed for our stay. We were provided with books about things to do on Maui, beach towels and some beach gear, a wonderful welcome basket, and more. Not only was the condo itself excellent, but the location could not have been better. We were close enough to some great beaches (e.g., Ka'anapli, Napili) that we could enjoy them whenever we wanted, but just far enough removed from the big hotels/resorts that we didn't feel suffocated by people. We would highly recommend Kaleialoha 412 to anyone. Can't wait to go back ourselves one of these days. ”

“ This is my second stay in 412, first was last year for my honeymoon. This condo is in a nice location, its quiet and within walking distance to a grocery store, and a great little beach park. This year I was able to swim within feet of sea turtles twice! At one point there were seven sea turtles swimming right out back, amazing! You are always greeted with a spotlessly cleaned condo, and a nice welcome basket. I am sure I will return here many more times. I do have one complaint though, the internet is quite bad. I could not share any pictures with my family and friends on Facebook, and had difficulty researching activities online because either the connection was too slow, or I think the more likely culprit the wireless router needs to be replaced. The owners have even placed a sign next to it saying to unplug it and restart if you have issues. I had to do that several times a day. That is annoying, a router is only about $75, just replace it. Otherwise, happy as usual, like I said, I will definitely be back! ”
Manager response:
“ I agree slow internet is very frustrating. I work for Apple so am used to the latest and greatest. This is a common complaint we hear from friends/condo owners on Maui and have been told this is due to the fact we are on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. That being said we take all our guest feedback seriously and have replaced both the cable modem and the router. I see some improvement but definitely not what we get on the Mainland. Warmest alohas Ryan...hope you will be back soon!

Besides many whale sightings we also enjoyed watching the turtles which were just below us in the water. This condo was very clean and up to date. It came with a lot of the necessities you need like paper products, trash bags, detergents and soaps. We were just a short walk to the farmers market, which was open on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, a local park and just a little further, but still walkable, a supper market. The weather was perfect with a breeze most days. We did not need to use the air conditioner. The condo also had a washer and dryer which was very convenient. ”

We loved the ocean view most of all, it was amazing to watch the sunsets from the lanai and then wake up every morning to the sound of waves. It was also nice that there was everything else we needed already there, from beach towels, snorkeling stuff, and body boards to trash bags, laundry detergent, and ice trays! It really is the place to come if you want to have an amazing place to come "home" to while in Maui. We can't wait to come back next year for our first wadding anniversary and stay in condo 412! ”

“ Kaleialoha is in a great location just north of Lahaina, very easy to find. Times grocery store is within a 10 minute walk, as well as a nice little park that has a great tide pool. The condo itself was very clean, the bed was comfortable. There were a couple of boogy boards in the closet and some noodles, but you may want to rent since this equipment has been there a while. There is an airconditioner in the living room, it may be big enough to cool the whole place, but we didnt need it in early September. We were able to watch seaturtles swimming immediately outside of the lanai, and if the surf had been more calm I am sure we could have swam with them. The pool is fantastically clean, and solar heated, no better way to wind down from a hectic day snorkelling and boogy boarding than to relax in a nice warm pool. The grounds were meticulously maintained. I was never disturbed by loud neighbors. It was a quick drive to most major beaches (max 50 mins to the farthest on the west coast). You do not really need to shop at Costco in Kahului, Times and Safeway in Lahaina are not hugely overpriced. However if you want liquor it pays to go to Costco, they are cheaper than mainland prices, Wayyy cheaper. All in all, awesome, hope to come back every year on my anniversary. ”

As soon as we walked through the condo and out on the lanai and saw the view, I cried. Hawaii is as beautiful as I had built it up in my mind and we were finally there. I wondered about being on the 4th floor but its great. No one above you and a quick elevator ride down and a short walk to the beach. It was very quiet and private and had all the amenities of home.We immediately felt at home. In fact we have the same drinking glasses at home. The only thing for me that was missing was a tub because I like to lounge in the tub but no biggie and a pizza cutter as we had frozen pizza one night but no problem we used a knife. It has everything. I have short hair but even saw a curling iron. We spent lots of time on the lanai. Loved loved watching the morning rainbows while having our coffee and breakfast. Which by the way was my favorite part of the lovely gift basket...the coffee. Was Ono! Mahalo. Ended up buying more of that. We saw lots of turtles and would love to plan a trip in the winter to see the whales. It was absolutely the most perfect way to spend our 25th anniversary!!! ”

Oh, the condo also has 2 boogie boards in the unit. We bought some at Costco and then later returned them. We didn't use the kitchen very much, we ate out a lot. But it has everything you would need. We swam and read by the pool one afternoon. It is very well maintained and the grounds around it are gorgeous. I was totally okay with it being in the front of the unit as opposed to ocean side. It was sooo hard to say goodbye to this condo unit. I am already planning a return trip! ”

This would have been a better value if we had stayed longer than 3 days. The room was very well stocked with any kitchen and beach items we might need and that added a lot of value to the room.

It was a great place for my 81 year old mother to sit and read. The snorkeling wasn't great but one did see a variety of fish and turtles.

Space was comfortable, clean, with interesting artwork and a good collection of books and fun gear. Our neighbors were friendly and we met fun people sitting outside by the ocean having our personal happy hour. Interestingly, we saved a lot of money by staying here because the view and accommodations were so delightful that we were more happy to cook and eat on our own porch or with our neighbors than go into town and buy meals and drinks. Extra nice details were the barbecue outside and the basket of goodies when we first got there.

We were greeted with a thoughtful welcome basket, and a fantastic ocean front, ocean view from the balcony/lanai. Seriously, this place is just 30 feet from the water? Maybe just 25. This one bedroom condo was perfect. Costing less than an "ocean view" studio at nearby hotels, it has a separate bedroom which is a must because my husband loves to watch tv until the wee hours and I don't. :) Every afternoon, giant sea turtles swam by, stopping at the reef rocks right down below in front of our lanai to graze on algae...never saw them while snorkeling but saw them every afternoon when I was sitting on the lanai. There was a "noodle" and a ice chest that came in handy in the closet, some beach/lawn chairs, along w/a few other water toys in the hall closet. Two big beach towels were ready and waiting! The condo was very clean, and felt very spacious with all the mirrors. Free wifi, an ac unit when we needed it, though the breeze from the bedroom windows to out through the patio doors was great most days. The grounds are immaculate. Almost every day someone is out washing off the lounge chairs, tables & chairs for the guests/owners. To top it off, when we were out exploring Maui, I kept referring to the condo as "home". That's how nice this place is. It's cute, comfortable, a great deal, and we would definitely stay there again if we returned to Maui! ”

We were hoping we would have been warned about this so we could be more prepared. Wonderful otherwise. ”

“ This was our 6th trip to Maui, and I can unequivocally tell you that this unit was the quietest of all of the places we've stayed. It's so pleasant not to hear the garbage trucks at 5:30 a.m.!! Unit 412 was beautifully and tastefully done, but not so fancy that we felt uncomfortable in it. We walked in the door, saw the view, then the Welcome Basket, and immediately felt comfortable, relaxed and at home. Located about 1 mile south of Kahana, and about 5 miles north of Lahaina, it is a very central location to the north-west side of Maui. The sunsets are terrific; the whale-watching is fantastic; the turtle watching is really fun; and the snorkeling is great. What more can a person ask for??? We really have no complaints, only thanks to the owners for having such a comfortable, yet well-appointed condo. ”

“ Our recent trip to Maui, Oct. 10 - Oct. 17 was one of our best yet. We've stayed in unit 412 many times and it's always a pleasure. With all the amenities of home, a clean, nicely decorated space, and incredible views you couldn't ask for a better place to stay on Maui. You can watch giant sea turtles eat off the reef right in front of your condo. Local fish market, coffee house, and farmer's market are a short walk each day for fresh products. Chatting it up with the permanent residents while grilling your fish at sunset is a real treat every evening. Then end each day falling asleep to the gentle sound of the waves. It doesn't get any better than this on Maui. ”

“ Aloha! We are watching our slide show from our trip Sept.29-Oct.9 2009. It is almost as beautiful as seeing it all for the first time. Lynn & Costa could not have better "hosts". The condo was everything we read and more. We loved the gift basket. The details in decorating and the cleanliness of the condo could not be topped by anyone! The staff at Kaleialoha Resort was friendly and ready to help us in any way possible. Getting together at sunset with some of the permanent residents was great. We got so many great "tips" that really helped us experience Maui to the fullest. Thanks guys!!! We miss you already. The Feast at LeLe was unbelievable! It HAS to be the best luau on Maui. The road to Hana was an adventure (would spend the night in Hana if we did it again). Bringing fresh fish and fruit/vegetables back to the condo from the Farmer's market for dinner made it truly feel like "home". This was our 44th anniversary and it surely was the best one so far! We hope to return to Maui some day (God willing) and Condo 412 is where we want to be. If we have to find a down-side; it would be not enough days; until we meet again, Mahalo to you all!!! ”

“ I recently had the great pleasure to spend 6 days in Unit #412 at Kaleialoha Resort. It is a perfectly appointed unit with an expansive oceanview of Lanai and Molokai. I ate every meal on the lanai to the musical accompaniment of the crashing waves and the incredible vistas of bright blue waters, sea turtles and even a pod of dolphins. At night the moon's reflection sparkled in the water below and hundreds of stars twinkled from above, in a way that can only be seen, when one is far enough away from all the city lights where I live. It was just a dream. The condo's decor is charming and it is impeccably maintained. The kitchen is well stocked with dishware and cutlery. And there are even beach chairs, snorkel masks and ice chests available in the unit, for those who wish to make day trips to the beach. I especially appreciated the Natural foods store and Farmer's Market within easy walking distance. There was wonderful produce and delicious baked goods for sale outside on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. And inside the Natural Foods store there was a very good selection of organic foods and products, which was better than any I'd ever seen on my many previous trips to Maui. There was some construction going on at the complex during the day, but I did not find the noise to be overwhelming or intrusive, and the workers were all polite and good natured. The condo's owner was very friendly and helpful and keeps the unit in perfect order. I would definately recommend this unit to anyone who is looking for a charming environment, spectacular ocean view and lovely Hawaiian ambiance. It's a gem! ”

“ Our stay at Kaleialoha Condo #412 was wonderful. We prefer accommodations where we can set the pace and not compete with a crowd. This condo was perfect for our needs. The full kitchen, in-unit laundry and the farmers market down the street were very convenient and really helped on the whole cost of the vacation. Yet there are lots of restaurants nearby in Kaanapali and Lahaina if you prefer to go out. The view from the lanai was spectacular. We had breakfast and dinner on the lanai every day, watching the whales and sea turtles at play. This also appears to be a good place for moderately experienced surfers to enjoy the waves. Good surf but no where near the pounding waves of the north shore. We will definitely recommend this condo to anyone who prefers a similar type of experience. ”

The first time was on my 40th and I fell in love with the unit and returned in November 2008. In April the whales were still there and visiable from the lanai. The turltes were also visiable from the lanai. The unit is clean and very hospitable. It's location is key. You can walk to private beaches, or BBQ in the back yard. It's a close distance form Kaanapali and Kapalua and downtown Lahaina. But again, the unit is so nice and the views with the breathtaking sunsets it's hard to leave the unit. I highly recommend Kaleialoha for anyone returning or who have an interest in coming to Maui for the first time. It is heaven on earth. As a world traveler...there is no better place to hike, swim, play tennis/golf, surf or just read a book. I highly recommend Kaleialoha Unit 412. I look forward to returning soon!

You need to have a little skill to park in the stalls at Lahaina Roads. Recommend you let passengers out first! We walked about a mile to to historic Lahaina a couple of times. There are good restaurants within a couple of blocks of Lahaina Roads if you don't want to drive. The kitchen has everything you would need to eat there. It is a price beater, as well.

Seeing turtles in the ocean from our lanai was a real thrill. We talked to other travelers who were staying in more upscale areas (at a more "upscaleâ price of course) and they all agreed our ocean front view, being in a quieter residential area (not so busy and touristy) as well as the convenience to shops and restaurants made this condo the best choice possible.

“ We have stayed at Lahaina Roads previously in a condo without airconditioning and although the other was more modern, this condo (312) was well positioned and the air conditioning was well worth it. The home was nice inside and clean, the pool was well maintained, and having the outdoor grill area made burgers for lunch fun! The only negatives I found were that the cleaning fee is pretty large for the size of the condo. There was adequate cooking pots, but every single knife needed sharpening badley which made all our meals in slightly harder to prepare. On a whole, I would definitly go back as the location was within walking distance of downtown Lahaina and only a short drive from many beautiful beaches. If you have time, go downtown to Thai Chef for dinner- bring your own booze and enjoy the best place we ate at in Lahaina! Wonderful stay and can't wait to go back! ”

“ This is our second stay, we highly recommend it. Ocean is in front for snorkeling, sunset dinners, and just relaxing while enjoying the laid back experience of being on a tropical island. We have traveled to the Islands since 1970; trust me this is what you think of when going to Hawaii. Of course, if you are into the Disney Land experience of traveling it is not for you. This is how real people experience the islands. You experience it as a local; grocery store is within walking distance, as is shopping mall, and several great restaurants. Just rent a small car; slots do NOT accomodate a Lincoln Continental or Hummer! Linda provides anything and everything one could want. I actually should be saying that the place "sucks" so that no one else books it, but I've been troubled over the years by the number of tourists that don't experience the real Hawaii. Nice people live here and nice visitors stay here. Wailea, Makena, and Kanapalea are easy excursions. Do not stay in Kihea if you can stay here. We feel like we are at home when we walk into the condo. And you will not find a better view anywhere, even at twice the price. Pool is cool,beach is nearby since rocks are in front. However, you will see a beautiful sunset with upto 30 sailboats anchored in front. Its just where one should go if one wants to experienced the real Hawaii. Lynda is a very nice person to deal with and leaves most ammenities in her condo so that you don't have to buy them. It is quiet and peaceful. We've traveled world wide but really enjoy the "local experience" of staying at Linda's. Don't tell anyone else though! Very appreciative Alaskans ”

“ Condo #206 was perfect for us! Having read many of the other reviews of this unit, we knew what to expect and were not disappointed. You could not be closer to the ocean if you wanted. It is virtually right outside your window and your view is fantastic! It was January and we did not have to worry about a/C, so we left the window open all night and dreamt to the sound of the waves splashing up against the shoreline. Needless to say, we slept very well! There is no beach front to speak of for this resort so you have to use public beaches, but there are some beach chairs and boogie boards in the room for your use. That was not an issue for us, but I thought I might mention it. The unit is a studio and a little on the small side. I'm not sure it would be as appropriate for families with older children or for more than a couple of adults, but for couples or families with smaller children it works very well. During our stay, we did not spend a lot of time actually in the Condo because there was so much to see and do that we spent almost every waking minute out absorbing what we could of Maui; the culture, the history, the geography, etc. but when we were there we appreciated the kitchen (fully supplied with tableware, utensils and a dishwasher), the bathroom (which had all the amenities), the overall cleanliness, the relaxed decor and the quiet! There is a small safe for your valuables. We were even able to watch the Bronco playoff game! That was the only reason we even turned on the T.V. so I can't say what the extent of the channel lineup is. Location wise, you are snuggled in between a couple of other higher priced resorts, there is a grocery store and a couple of local restaurants nearby and you are only a short distance from Lahaina. A little music spills over from one of the resorts next door in the evening, but that is turned off/down by 10PM or so. I gave this a 5 star rating in every aspect because for us there was absolutely nothing to find wrong! ”

Everything was included that we needed. We especially enjoyed having the kitchen supplies, bathroom supplies and extra bed linens. We needed very little else for our stay. The location was within walking distance for what we needed or wanted for the condo. We liked the location and the comfort of the condo. Parking was never a problem for us or our visiting family. ”

“ Maui was lovely and the Maui Kai Condo #206 was a pleasure to stay in. We were at first disappointed that it didn't have a lanai, but quickly realized that with the windows wide open, there was no need. Hearing the waves rolling in directly below was amazing. The condo was very clean and very well set up. The bed is comfortable, and is smaller than we're used to. The kitchen is a pleasure. The laundry facilities are conveniently located down the hall. And, the view is amazing. The location was perfect and amenities (groceries, pina colada ingredients, take-out dinners, gifts, etc.) were available across the street from the condo entrance. While arriving "home" from our excursions, we appreciated the quiet and beautiful entrance to Maui Kai. We loved watching the surfers right outside our window as the swells were amazing. We walked several miles on the beach walk most days and drove up the coast to watch the surfers and visit friends. We mostly enjoy swimming and snorkeling in the ocean and love the warm water and weather. We recommend Condo #206 and Maui Kai as a nice place to stay in Paradise. Thank you. ”

Kitchen is a gorgeous update, and the whole condo was very spacious and comfortable. The view is absolutely amazing, we literally sat right over the water and left the windows open at night to listen to the waves. This condo was a great retreat after a long day in the sun!

“ We randomly stumbled across the Maui Kai some years ago, and now choose to stay there every time we come to Maui. Every room faces the beautiful waters of West Maui, and you could almost jump from your lanai into the ocean. It's that close! Condo 206 was well apportioned Jr Suite, with a comfortable Murphy-bed, Hdtv Big screen., kitchen, bathroom shower, etc. I was thankful for the internet network cable, as the hi-speed direct connection gave me the ability to plugin my laptop and stream TV shows & video not available by in-house cable. Only downside for us was the absence of an outdoor balcony. The design of the Maui Kai doesn't seem to provide the outdoor space at this unit we often enjoyed in other Maui Kai units we've stayed. However, it was not that big a detractor from our pleasure as the big ocean-front windows slide open to the sounds and scents of the ocean. It was also handy to be close to the stairway, so it was much faster to take the stairs then wait for the elevator. I would stay in this unit again, as well as any unit at the Maui Kai. Maui Kai will always remain on our preferred list when vacationing on the Valley Isle. ”

There is no actual balcony but the large opening picture windows are close enough. The Murphy bed was comfortable and it was great to be able to "put it away" when we wanted. There was some construction in the adjacent units while we were there and the unit above has tile floors that generate some noise but it wasn't too bad. ”

“ For my wife and I, this really was the perfect place to stay on Maui. We were a little surprised at how small the condo seemed when we first arrived, but then we were also surprised that it really didn't matter. We had everything that we needed. The Condo was more than comfortable. The location was more than stunning. While we did not see any whales from our window, (it was just a little late in the season) we did see a huge sea turtle swim by. Amazing! The sound of the surf at night was hypnotic. You are so close to the waves that you'll have to close the windows if you want to hear the tv. The condo is not part of the Maui Kai's "service", so you're a little bit of an outsider, but the office staff were still helpful and courteous, and you have access to all of the amenities except daily maid service. If you are looking for a great economical place to stay, and you are a little independant and don't need the pampering of a high end resort, this is a heavenly option! ”

“ The Maui Kai is located not along the busy end of Lahaina but along a more sedate area designed to please those who wish to enjoy the quiet, relaxing on the beach, and a totally relaxed atmosphere. This does not mean that the opportunities for nightlife and more activities are excluded - you just have to look around. There is a multitude of information provided by the condo as well as by the condo owner and on-line. One item that failed to meet our expectations was the screened-in lanai. I must admit to my failure to notice the absence in the description. Love the bilateral ocean breezes, fabulous view, all amenities, clean. Had I not broken my arm in late Feb, this trip might have just been rated 100%. Truly a "God - Like place" on the planet! GREAT CONDO!!! ”

“ We recently enjoyed a 10-day stay at Maui Kai Beach Resort unit 206. When we arrived, the unit was in sparkling condition, including all promised amenities in excellent working condition and then some. A gift basket containing fresh local fruit and other goodies was an especially pleasant surprise. As promised, the location of this condo was ideal for beach and especially whale watching; we saw many whales every day from the comfort of our room. We even saw large sea turtles in the ocean right below our window a couple of times. The wall bed was comfortable, and it was nice to be able to put the bed away during the day, allowing us more space for other activities during the day. The kitchen was nicely equipped with everything we needed. The owners also provided a well-organized notebook with recommendations for local activities, restaurants, etc. The condo location is truly ocean front; from our room, we were often closer to the ocean than many people actually sitting on the beach next door. There is also a nice, paved "beachwalk" that starts one property south of the Maui Kai and goes all the way down to the south end of Kaanapali beach. This made it easy to walk to other parts of the beach for snorkeling and swimming and avoided parking headaches. The pool at the condo complex is small, but the spa is large and relaxing. The condo complex is nicely situated within easy walking distance of several grocery stores, a farmer's market, interesting shops and restaurants. This was our first visit to Maui, and we would not hesitate to stay at Maui Kai unit 206 again. ”

While at the condo I believe I spent ninety percent of my time on the lanai viewing the sunset and other activities in the water below the condo. The sunsets were breathtaking to say the least. Although we did not see any whales we did see plenty of Marine life from the lanai. This condo is located in a great location and you have plenty of areas to choose from for dinner, shopping and entertainment.. You are within minutes of great snorkeling locations if you choose to leave the condo to explore other areas. However, there really is no need to leave the condo area because there is great snorkeling and other water activity located on the site. They have a very relaxing pool that has plenty of sun or shade depending on your desires. The owners of this condo have taken great lengths to make sure that they have provided enough information on all activities around the area and there is a detailed book that you can reference. The condo has all the amenities that you could possibly want for a vacation site. The TV and entertainment center was excellent and there is also a TV in the bedroom. All of the kitchen equipment is very clean and well taken care of which provides a place for preparing breakfast or any other meal. We felt so at home at this location and believe if you consider it you will also. You cannot go wrong with the price or the accommodations and the clean environment you will be spending your time in.

Incidentally, the front room TV is a flatscreen only six months old. Because of its connection to Hawaiian cable and the DVR it's best to follow the explicit directions provided on a laminated sheet usually found on the coffee table or TV cabinet. If necessary, a quick call to our on-island contact will help.

I lounged on the chaise for a while to soak it all in. 180 degree vista with the islands of Molokai and Lanai to set it off! The lanai set enabled us to see over the railing and we used the swivel chairs to take in everything from a monk seal, whales, catamarans, surfers and to rainbows. We slept wonderfully well hearing the waves from a comfy king bed. That lanai and view awaited us once we rubbed the sleep from our eyes. We discovered they even have free coffee in the morning downstairs (with cups/lids). We'd grab some for our walk along a long stretch of Ka'anapali beach, dabbling our feet in the heavenly surf and sand! We fixed some meals in --the kitchen having everything we needed and more-breakfast was an absolute on the lanai but Maui has such great restaurants, we found ourselves eating out for dinner much of the time. It was great to either have central a/C available or let the ocean breeze in through the sliding doors.

There is also the option of calling us or our on-island contact as well, but no one was called. Unfortunately, we were not aware of the issue until reading it in a review online. We immediately called the front desk and maintenance went in and heard the low setting making some noise while the medium and high were ok. A new motor was installed in less than an hour and it very effective and very quiet for everyone. Mahalo, Lyn and Al (owners) ”

“ Got to vacation here 12/31/11 - 01/05/12. Great escape from the snow & cold of alaska! Unit is clean, well appointed, secure and easy to find. Especially appreciated the beach amenities - umbrella, cooler and snorkel gear - and very comfortable bed. Saw lots of whales in the channel as well as an occasional turtle below and even a pod of dolphins! The "resort" itself had a nice grilling area and even a small pool available. Grocery store nearby. Only did 1 meal "out" @ the Java Jazz restaurant - mediocre for us - would not bother going back there. Wished we had gone to the Gazebo, just a little ways up the road instead. Highlight of the vacation was visiting Little Beach Sunday Night - only for the open minded tho - and doing a zip line @ Piiholo Ranch. Not cheap but very safe and fun! Biggest drawback was finding a place nearby to snorkel / park. Owners take excellent care of their home - we tried to do the same - enjoy! ”

After settling in we began to notice that the condo is one of a kind. Everything you need to make your vacation perfect is provided for you. It is a first class condo in paradise. Every night we sat on the lanai watching the sunset and whales frolic within eye sight. It was the perfect condo for the perfect vacation. ”

“ We loved our 5 days at Maui Kai 504. The condo is comfortable, spacious, and well-appointed, with every amenity, from a coffee grinder and binoculars, to wireless internet, down to scissors and a flashlight in the utility drawer and sunblock in the bathroom cabinet. Even the pull-out bed got a positive review from our daughter, who has slept on plenty of bad pull-outs. The view is spectacular, especially the sunsets, with Lanai and Molokai in the distance. We saw whales and dolphins every morning while eating our breakfast and drinking coffee on the lanai. While the resort is surrounded by other hotels and condos, it is quiet, and parking was readily available. The property is well-maintained, with a small pool and spa, and a well-equipped game room. There are excellent restaurants and a grocery store within walking distance. The owners are responsive and provide all the information you need both before and during your stay. If you're going to Maui, I highly recommend Maui Kai 504 for your stay! ”

“ We stayed two times at the Maui Kai in the 1980's and have been on holidays, staying at different accommodation on Maui a couple of times since. We decided on this trip to go back to the the Maui Kai due our very good memories of it. The location right on the beach is excellent. The pictures of unit 504 we viewed prior to booking it were exactly as we found it. The view from the balcony overlooking the ocean with views of the islands was fantastic. Nothing beats watching a terrific sunset with a nice bottle of wine enjoying a meal from the barbecue. We saw whales , sea turtles, kite boarders, surfers from the deck. It is possible to walk along the beach or on the boardwalk which starts near the Maui Kai all the way to Black Rock and the Whalers Village. The unit was very comfortable and well stocked with amenities including binoculars, boogie boards, beach mats and books. While we went exploring many other beaches, one of the best features of this location is the ability to go down to the lobby, out the door and be right on the beach and able to go snorkeling right away. The size of the unit is good for 3 adults but would be somehat crowded for more than this. ”

“ It's been a couple weeks since we spent 9 days on Maui enjoying our morning coffee and daily sunsets on the lanai of Maui Kai 504 and there hasn't been a day that has passed that I haven't closed my eyes and thought about it. The condo was perfect! We walked in and our expectations were instantly exceeded. The view is breathtaking and the accomodations were thoughtful, clean, organized, and felt just like home. Even though it was our first time to Hawaii and Maui Kai 504, it felt like we had been there before - it just welcomed us in and was a cozy place to rest our heads after our daily Maui adventures. Overall, it felt like Maui Kai (and 504 in particular) was a special little treasure tucked away in the corner of Kaanapali. The grounds are well cared for, the condo is stocked with everything you need (and more!), the beach is just a hop and a skip out the door, and the view in unparalleled. All I can say is, it would be foolish not to jump at a chance to stay in this little piece of heaven. We have made a vow to return (maybe next year?) and enjoy it all over again. Pure bliss. ”

Lyn made me feel very comfortable and excited about renting directly from an owner. We have not done that before. She could not have been more accommodating! The condo was so clean, which is one of my number one requirements. We would sit on the lanai every morning and evening and watch the whales and dolphins. I lost count we saw so many! The Maui Kai is located directly on the beach. Just go out the lobby door and you are on the beach! I only wish we were still on the lanai! Thanks for making our vacation stay a memory of a lifetime! ”

“ Loved, loved, loved staying at #504 of the Maui Kai. It was exactly what we were looking for- a clean, quiet, safe, not run-down place where we can make and eat our own food, in the middle of everything, right on the beach so we don't have to drive to it, and with a spectacular view from our lanai so don't feel "stuck" in our place when the kids were sleeping. It was just a little cramped for our family of 4 but it was fine. We knew it was a one bedroom before we booked it and expected this. By the way, if our kids were older, they could have stayed up later and slept on the sofabed and I don't think it wouldn't have felt that way.... Also, we never closed our lanai sliding doors (the entire ocean facing wall was glass) because we loved hearing the ocean sounds our entire 9 day stay. Even booking it was super easy online. We all (including my 5 year old) still talk about it and miss it a couple of months later. We decided we have to stay here again the next time we go to Maui. ”

“ We have just departed from unit 504 at Maui Kai and have left with very positive impressions. We traveled with our two children aged 9 and 11 and would recommend this place to other families wishing to get their own space and get away from the bustle of the resort hotels. The place has a fantastic location right on the beach front, and I mean right on the beach front! Step out of the condo and you are on the beach. Two more steps and you are in the sea! The views are great. Every apartment must get the fantastis view we had. Completely uninterrupted views out to sea. The apartment we stayed in was spotless, and the same could be said of the rest of the place. It is kept in very good order with the BBQ cleaner than I can get my own. The apartment is big enough for two but a little cramped for a family of four, but you knew what we were doing before we booked. The sofa bed in the living room is not the world's most comfortable but what sofa bed is. The unit is so well stocked with the needs of the traveler. Every kitchen utensil is provided as is beach gear, coolers, snorkel sets, iPod dock, good cable package, the list goes on. The place is ideal if you want to get away for some peace and quiet. If you want big pools, resort entertainment, loud music and loud people then go elsewhere. If you want to relax and kick back with your own cooking on the lanai and watch the sea with some cold ones, then this is the place for you. ”

This condo was nicely appointed and has a very comfortable bed with a beautiful view of the ocean and surrounding islands from the lanai and of the in-land mountain valley from the bedroom. We only stayed a few days here, and it looked like the cleaning staff decided not to dust or sweep the floors before we arrived, but that didn't detract from the wonderful dinners we had on the lanai, or the romantic sunsets. The Maui Kai really is the closest condo to the water in the Kaanapali Beach area and the staff, grounds, pool, and overall environment were all top notch. I would recommend this unit to anyone who is looking for a quiet stay on Maui with all the beauty and local amenities that the Hyatt, Sheraton, and Ritz have to offer as well as all the comforts of home. ”

speed01 from Aurora, CO on 04/23/2009 said:
“ Quite a few years back we stayed at this resort, and i use that name loosely. The actual apartment was done very nicely; the view of the ocean is very good. There's no reception area per se; the overall building reminds me of a tenement in a poor neighborhood and the pool is across the parking lot surrounded by concrete blocks. There is NO beachfront as there is no beach in front...only ocean. A retaining wall protects the lobby from the ocean rushing in. The shower in the apartment overflowed to the apartment below and not by any fault of ours. My wife and I are very careful and clean when we stay in someone else's apartment. Wouldn't recommend this rental building at all. ”
Manager response:
“ Since 2004, we have completely redecorated and made several other upgrades such as an additional granite counter with new maple cabinets in the bathroom, new living room and dining room furnishings and balcony high table and swivel chairs on the lanai. A problem with the shower at the time was quickly remedied. Maui Kai is a smaller structure constructed of cement block which helps to eliminate noise compared to some of the large hotel-type buildings. As Maui Kai has the closest proximity to the ocean in West Maui, it is regularly maintained including re-spalling of the building, new paint and trim. The landscaping of the building has been upgraded with many Hawaiian flowers, plants, and waterfalls.
The pool and spa are part of a larger cabana area which includes an indoor kitchen, bathrooms, computer with printer, ping-pong table, and library. Outside is a large area for sunbathing and visiting, a covered picnic area, and gas barbecues. Perhaps his visit was during one of the rare storms that could bring in high surf and reduce the beach temporarily. However, North Ka'anapali Beach in front of Maui Kai actually stretches for three miles, all the way to Black Rock.
Maui Kai is not a hotel with one a grandiose entryway, but it does have a pleasant sitting area for resting and visiting now complete with orchids and newer furniture as well as free morning coffee and newspapers for purchase. Maui Kai is a location guests enjoy returning to year after year. ”

“ My wife and I traveled to Maui for our first time to stay in the Maui Kai in Condo 108 and we were very pleased. Our building was the closest to the water of any condo we saw in the 2 mile stretch we walked along the beach. Our condo specifically is the only condo in the building with a walkout to the outside and beach access from the back of the building, the other condos only have closed balconies (Lanais) out the back. We were able to watch the whales breaching and playing very easily from our Lanai while we sat and relaxed. There is a nice kitchen that is well-stocked with many appliances that will allow you to cook just about anything. There is also a grocery store, a farmer's market, and a fresh fish market very close to the Maui Kai for stocking the fridge. The condo stayed rather cool in general with just the ceiling fans on, but the air-conditioning rapidly cools down the condo if the need should arise. The only downside we found to the condo was that there was no daily maid service, which may be an option, however, we did not have that option, so we had to do laundry on our towels multiple times during our stay, however, there is a nearby This is a very well-maintained and clean condo and I would definitely stay there again without any hesitation. ”

The bed was extremely comfortable, the sofabed was better than most, the kitchen and bath spotless, the towels good sized and soft. You have to love a place where you can spot whales spouting just beyond the breakers, while you sip your first cup of coffee on the lanai. The owners leave a notebook of valuable information for guests, including favorite beaches, snorkling sites,(including the one right outside the lanai door!) and restaurants within walking distance along the beach. We dined at two of these, and wished we could stay a few more days, just to go back. You have to try the Hula Pie at Duke's, one dish serves 3-4. If I'm lucky enough to go back to Maui, I hope I can book #108 again. ”

“ You are absolutely correct on these problems. They were solved two hours after the owner who was next coming, came to the unit to use it. There are signs on the door, the refrigerator, orientation page on desk, and the orientation book of what is on the islend for your pleasure has the top of the page first lines for Kathys Got It Maid for all problems of any kind. Idle hands locked the safe when empty or someone did not understand it. It was unlocked by the locksmith quickly and empty. The front door key was totally defragged and Kathy has extras, and the real problem was that the back door locked from the inside mechanically and the outside keylock froze from the salt air. it is relubed twice a year and has never frozen before. The cut screen was from a young person who could not wait to go around to the front door and cut the screen to get in. We were told about it. We have been owners of Maui Kai units on the ground floor for 35 years and not only we but no one in the Maui Kai has ever had a break in that way. The lock system is secure and worked from the inside. OH how we wish you had called Kathys Got It Maid for help and they would have been there that day in a couple of hours latest.

“ Stayed here for 8 days with my wife and 2 kids (ages 10 and 1). Wonderful condo. The proximity to the beach and ocean is absolutely unsurpassed! So easy to go back and forth to the beach, particularly with kids. No need to pack up a ton of stuff, no car ride, no elevator ride - just simple! There is a pool onsite - but I have to admit that being right next to the ocean, we never even used the pool at all. It looked nice though. A wonderful ocean breeze - never turned on the aC even once during our stay. It's about 2-3 blocks from a grocery store - easy walking distance. The condo is limited in cabinet space for your groceries - that would be the only negative I can think of (Well, OK, the water pressure in the shower is lacking, but no big deal). The condo is clean, bright, and well decorated. The nightly sunset view is amazing. It has all the necessary amenities. All you need is your sunscreen and your grocery stop, and you're good! We will certainly stay here again. Love the condo, love the location. Very well done. Mahalo! ”

“ We stayed for 3 nights in Jan. 2012. Overall, it was really good; definitely the nicest of the 3 places I've stayed on Maui. The location can't be beat with the beach right outside your door and whale watching from the lanai (although people can see you through your lanai as they walk by on the boardwalk so if this bothers you, choose a unit on an upper floor). The kitchen was well equipped, the condo was very clean, and the WC was modern. On the downside, there was a slight smell of sewage through the window sometimes; not sure if this is a problem all over Ka'anapali area as we smelled it from the highway also. Also there was a slight hum (fridge? central air con from next door?). Finally, they were testing the fire alarm system while we were there. This is a necessary thing to do but the booking agent didn't warn us and I was annoyed as there was loud beeping for a couple of hours and we had an infant with us. Things to ask for next time... ”

Jayebird from Pittsburgh, PA on 11/18/2011 said:
“ Unit #108 was the best vacation I've had in Maui after many, many visits to the Island. I've stayed in both the fancy and not-so-fancy places and found the Maui Kai to be about the best. The location is terrific and if you want to be just steps from the beach this is the place for you. It has all the comfort of home and is well-stocked with kitchen utensils if you prefer cooking in the unit. The unit itself is very comfortable with seating on the lanai for ocean viewing and whale watching, tv's in both the bedroom and living room and quite comfortable furniture. Also provided are beach chairs, a cooler, and beach towels along with the basics to get started, such as t.paper, paper towels, spices, etc. The condo has a swimming pool for those days when the wind is too strong to lie in the sand. If you have any problems they have access to a wonderful maid service and she's right there for anything you might need. The condo, although not affiliated with the owners of this unit, are helpful as well. You can get free coffee in the morning and pick up a newspaper and great postcards there too. Convenience is unsurpassed as well. You can walk right next door to an upscale resort for music and cocktails or walk up and down a long stretch of beautiful beach. There is a full grocery store just a minute's drive away and loads of eatery's all around. Lahaina town is only a few minutes drive and where you'll find all the shopping and bars and restaurants you'll ever want. My favorite part of the entire experience was the ability to just walk out the door and be on the beach. No going in and out of lobby's or up and down elevators. Just out the door and on the beach! Quite wonderful! Thank you for a fantastic experience. ”

“ The unit was very clean, updated with modern amenities throughout and centrally located for our needs. Kathy, the unit contact, was wonderful to work with. We were a bit concerned about being on the first floor with foot traffic in front of the unit, however this was not a problem as most people used the beach path. If I had to say anything against the unit it would be that on several occasions the employee door, which is located next to the bedroom, was slammed in early morning hours. Having said that, this would not prevent us from future visits. The beach felt like it personally belonged to us as the views were unobstructed and spectacular. We saw whales, green turtles, spinner dolphins and swam with a giant devil mantaray while snokeling in Molokini. It was an awesome vacation. Thank you! ”

“ I stayed here for 5 nights with my 2.5 yr old daughter and it was beyond our expectations. I stopped at the Safeway in Kahului to buy Clorox wipes, among other things, as I usually clean hotel rooms and such upon arrival. I never used the wipes. The condo was impeccably clean and well-stocked. It's the only place I have not given a good wipe-down in years of travel. It was a great start the moment I opened the door! This was the perfect place to stay. Not only was the condo fabulous but the location is ideal. The building itself is on the smaller side and quiet---no hotel doors banging shut at 5am or loud people late into the night. However, there is a large resort right next door which allows for a 2 minute walk to eat at a restaurant while overlooking the ocean---without the daily resort fee! It's just steps to the sand from the lanai and the view is unbelievable. I was able to enjoy the view and feel as if I was on the beach while my daughter napped in the afternoons, opening the windows on the lanai and reading in the sun. I highly recommend this condo for anyone who wants to enjoy the beach and ocean as much as possible during their trip. Booking was a breeze, the directions for driving to and accessing the condo were concise and accurate, and there was not a single glitch in my stay. The housekeeper/caretaker of the condo even called on my last full day there to see if I needed anything and to assure my checkout would be seamless, as well. I almost hesitate to give a good review for fear of competition when booking for another visit next year! ; ) ”

Just being able to walk out 25 steps to the sand was the best experience of all.

Bay Area Visitors from California on 07/09/2009 said:
“ I cannot think of a better location and the size of the complex is perfect. The onsite amenities are very good, pool, recreation room, etc. Parking was not an issue and the onsite staff are very friendly. The condo itself was okay, but it is in need of some updating. A bathroom ceiling tile (yes the old fashioned T-Bar) fell out while my daughter was showering and the vertical blinds kept falling out; and the unit had a dank smell, maybe due to the building's age or proximaty to the ocean. It was just felt old and dark. Having said this however, the location did in part make up for the condos shortfalls (somewhat). Tiling the floors and updating the bathroom would go a long long way. ”
Manager response:
“ The review we received is the only negative one we have ever received and we are sorry that your feelings about the apartment are negative. The apartment is regularly updated, this one in Q4, 2007 to Q2, 2008, less than five months before your visit. All overstuffed furniture, carpets, cloth on wooden furniture, lights, mattresses, entertainment centers remodeled with all new electronics including DVR and Blu-Ray, the complete lanai including concrete, glass windows and door, bathroom shower enclosure, all tile to granite in kitchen, and even the kitchen sink were replaced; and all furniture resurfaced as needed. The entire apartment was repainted, etc.
The verticals come down in heavy trade winds when the wind interlock doors are not used and the vanes are not opened to where the glass can protect them. We replace them with a call. All tile floors are a problem for people's feet and are a matter of taste, and usually are done for a reduction in cost of flooring.
We provide in your entry papers for orientation and codes, on the front door, refrigerator, and the orientation book the number to call for service of any kind if the apartment is not right. That apartment is not dank, dated, or old. It turns out that the building maintenance people did some work on the building water system above the ceiling in the bathroom, which has T Bar for access to A/C work and other property items, without notifying us, or the service, between rentals. They created the problem. Our policy is to relocate a guest immediately to another equivalent unit when any problem occurs that cannot be handled immediately, which this could not. It requires a phone call. We apologize that you did not care for your stay. But Oh, how we wish we had received a phone call.

That it was right on the beach provided so much ease for us-- my daughter woke up each day saying, "Ocean, ocean." We met lovely families who were staying in the area, and it was just perfectly located for the slow beach days we craved. The condo itself is lovely and comfortable, and the kitchen is ridiculously well stocked with any bowl or utensil or pot you could want. It enabled us to have tremendous freedom in our day.

But the VIEW was the best part, it was just breath taking, I can still see the ocean in my minds eye as I write. To wake up to that view was amazing. You just open the door and you are on the beach! The resort next door was a nice place to go for morning coffee or even breakfast and dinner. We would stop there in the morning before our walk on the beach. The condo was perfect and there was a book filled with information about the area, places to eat, where to get groceries, entertainment, just everything you would need to get around. We will never forget our visit, your condo made our vacation perfect. ”

“ We had an absolutely wonderful time at the Maui Kai!! It was our first time staying on the West side; normally we stay in Kihei or the North Shore (Paia). It was so nice to be close to Lahaina and Kaanapali. The condo was clean, well stocked, and the gift basket was a really nice touch. It was great to be able to open the door to our lanai and walk literally 5 steps until sand hit our toes!! And having the clean water faucet right outside our door was nice what with two toddlers and all their sandy limbs and beach toys. Since we were so close to the water, we saw probably 10-15 whale breaches a day right from our condo lanai - it was just amazing!! Only negative and it is very, very slight, is that the beach outside the condo had a pretty strong shore break and undertow. It might have just been the time of year we went there....but it was strong enough that we didn't go swimming outside our condo and instead drove to other nearby beaches to do our swimming. Other than that, we had a fabulous time and we hope to return again soon!! ”

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.

BC Couple from British Columbia, Canada on 05/04/2011 said:
“ 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. ”

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. ”

“ 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. ”

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! ”

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. ”

“ 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. . ”

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.

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.

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.

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. ”

“ 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! ”

“ 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! ”

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. ”

From the time we walked in and was greeted by a welcome basket, we had a wonderful time. The attention to detail by Chuck was incredible. He emailed us several times making sure that we had everything we needed. We had to contact the resident manager once because of a leak that developed under the kitchen sink and he responded right away and took care of the problem.

An easy walk to Merriman's or even the Pineapple Grill (at golf course). Cons: The room overlooks a very popular beach. There are over 100 people outside of room daily. Voices, esp. children's, carry into the room. To "escape" this noise it is good to shut the beach-side slats and turn on an internet music selection.

The beach chairs they provided with the room were brand new and very comfortable for spending the day on the beach. The welcome basket is always such a nice touch. The only thing I could think could be added to the unit is placemats. We were awoken on our first night from a group of singles loud voices and carrying on in the lanai in the unit next to us, but someone must have reported it the next day because we didn't hear anything the remainder of the nights we were there.

One caveat....it is right on the beach and I was originally concerned about people noise but that was never a problem but at night the sound of the surf seems really loud. We did come to the ocean on purpose after all and I felt relaxed by it but my wife didn't. ”

We mostly enjoyed the view from the Lanai...we drank our coffee out there in the morning and drank wine there while watching the sunset...if you are looking to just relax and enjoy the beach without all the resort "hoopla," you'll love this place!

“ My partner and i were lucky enough to spend two nights in condo 208; we left wishing we could have stayed for a month! The place was immaculate, with everything provided to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable, right down to a welcome basket of tropical fruit. The location was fantastic, with our lanai looking out over the beach - we watched magical sunsets from the comfort of our deck chairs but, being on the second floor, had some privacy from other beach users. At night we were lulled to sleep (in a wonderful king-size bed) by the sound of waves. We chose to go out rather than cook, but the kitchen was well stocked enough to allow simple cooking. The reservation / confirmation process was easy and efficient, and the instructions (from a guy named Chuck) on accessing the condo were both clear and easy to follow. Furthermore, the Aloha rentals prices were competitive compared to units managed by others. In short, I highly recommend Napili Bay (though part of me would like to keep it a secret!) My partner and I would definitely stay there again. ”

“ I researched the internet for days to find a place on the beach, with a balcony looking out at the ocean, where we could listen to the surf at night, and snorkel and swim during the day. The snokeling isn't like the Caribbean, but there were some huge turtles and colorful fish, as well as some coral. We really loved our stay. It was quaint, comfortable, and gave us an escape from the maddening crowd. Napili Bay is magical. I woke one morning, stepped out on the lanai, and saw four rainbows across the bay. The sand was soft and clean. We were comfortable with the breeze that blew through the place, and only needed the ceiling fans to keep us comfortable. You can hear the neighbors a bit on the lanai, but we weren't bothered. I have to say, Kathy, who manages the property, was so amazing and available to be helpful and make our stay comfortable. We had a really great time and would happily go back. The condo is well stocked for cooking. Boogie boards and beach chairs were provided, as well as beach towels. The bathrooms are small but adequate. You really have everything you need. My only negative comment is that I found the colors a little dingy and would like to see a more cheery tone in the decoration. Kathy helped me to get a more colorful spread on the bed, which made a difference. We would recommend this to anyone looking to get close to the ocean (the beach is only steps away) and away from the big hotel tourist experience. It is a short drive to all of that if you want it. We arrived late at night, and it was easy to find our way and get into the condo. It was all set up very nicely. We stayed 9 days and had a great experience. ”

“ Napili Bay is such a beautiful beach. We loved sitting out on the lanai watching the turtles and dolphins. We could not have had a beautiful view. The room was comfortable, clean, and well equiped. Little extra's like a cooler and boogie board made us feel like we were staying with friends instead of a hotel. I would go back every year if I could. Making reservations was very simple over the internet, we had no problems with the rental. The only part of our stay we did not like was not having a maid to clean the room while we were out. That would have been a little more romantic. ”

“ All we could have wanted and more! The location is heavenly and our rooms (we occupied 2 rooms while we were there, 207 and 208) were clean, had a full size refrigerator/freezer and reasonably stocked. (coolers, toaster, blender, boogie boards, beach towels and chairs basic spices.) The BBQ is very nice and new. (208 had BBQ equipment but 207 did not.) We loved the balmy breezes and did not mind not having air conditioning at all. The beautiful ocean sounds lulled us to sleep and we were absolutely stunned by the views. The owner of room 208 greeted us with a beautiful fruit basket with a gift beach bag. This was especially nice since we had forgotten to bring one! We met the owner of room 206, (paradisehawaiiancondos.com) and she was personable and even though we were not her customers, she would have gladly helped us if we had needed something. We asked to see her rental unit and if there was anything to say that is a little less glowing it would be that 207 and 208 have not had the bathrooms updated and therefore are not as nice as room 206. We will definitely go again to the Napili Beach Resort but because of the bathrooms we will probably will see if 206 is available first. If not, the others are great too! Oh, for those of you worried about bugs...it's the tropics! Clean up after you eat and keep your garbage in a bag in the freezer like we did. That is all it took for us to keep bugs away. ”

Good news, I understand some other owner's units do have air conditioning and have been nicely refinished. Shop wisely. A few bugs in the kitchen. Overall-pass.

The sunsets are killer every night. The beach is very local, not touristy like some other beaches. I love cooking in the unit and mingling with others at the private bbqs. There are no elevators or room service or stuffy front desks. It is all do it yourself and retro. The snorkling is awesome and you will always see turtles. I have been here at least 6 times and will continue to come. The Napili Bay is one of the best kept secrets on Maui. Mahalo for all the great memories! Scott and Nancy ”

Maui Visitor from Gig Harbor, Washington on 04/02/2009 said:
“ The rental itself was fine - clean, great view of the ocean. Disappointment was in two areas that might not bother other people - just me personally. On my 3rd day renters moved in next door who were chain-smokers. The smoke constantly drifted into my condo and lanai and the man had a smoker's cough that was non-stop. I was not able to enjoy the Lanai due to the constant smell of smoke and closing windows/doors in Hawaii makes little sense - I fault myself for not checking beforehand whether it was a "smoke free" condo complex. Perhaps that has changed since I visited. I also was not prepared for the large crowds (and noise) that gathered from morning until late afternoon right beneath my Lanai - I prefer a more secluded atmosphere. Again, this is of no fault to the condo itself - just my personal preference. I wanted to enjoy reading on the Lanai and looking at the ocean but between the smoke and the noise/activity below lanai, this was disappointing to me. I want to reiterate that the condo itself was lovely and well-equipped - just not the "spot" I had hoped for. No fault of owner or condo itself. Thank you for this oppportunity and I would recommend the condo to anyone who doesn't have my personal issues. ”

“ If your trying to get away from the big crowds, and overpriced luxury accommodations, this would be the place. During our stay in Hawaii, we stayed at both a luxury hotel and the relaxed, laid back, private beach, of Napili Bay Resort. It was awesome to walk out the front door to the beach. The snorkeling at Napili Bay was much better than the paid excursion I took. I did have a little problem going to sleep with the ocean waves crashing all night. The windows are louvered with no glass, so the noise could not be stopped. A Tylenol PM took care of that. ”

“ Having been to Maui several times, I insisted my wife and I stay in a more quiet section of the island, but not too far from Lahaina. We chose Napili Bay and searched for a nice condo with the idea of treating ourselves to an ocean view. I searched for weeks and had a few places bookmarked. I ended up choosing 208 at Napili Bay Resort because it looked perfect. After booking and emailing back and fourth a few times with the owner we were set to stay and had all of our information necessary. Upon arrival, we walked into a nice quiet, modest yet clean and beautiful room. It was very important to me that the room kind of embrace the beauty and aloha spirit of the islands. It most certainly did and after stepping foot onto our Lana'i it exceeded our expectations! Chuck (the owner) had left us a very nice basket of hawaiian goodies with a note congratulating us on our marriage. That thoughtfulness meant a lot to us and made us feel at home right away. The room had wireless internet which was a huge plus. It was a great way to post pictures of our trip as it unfolded to ensue jealousy from our friends and family(hehe). The boogie boards and beach chairs were a plus too! Wey cannot wait to go back to Maui and are looking forward to staying in the same exact room. It was absolutely perfect for our needs and our tastes. Hawaii is not about big hotels, crowded beaches and shopping...it is the most beautiful place on earth. Napili Bay and the Napili Bay Resort both allow you to enjoy the island in comfort and quiet without being too far from the tourist indulgences. ”

“ Second story unit on the beautiful Napili Bay beach. Clean and well furnished. Just steps away from your private beach entry and shower. Mornings on the lanai afford views of sea turtles and whales in the channel. Evenings provide unobstructed views of the sunset. Nights are cloaked in the sound of surf on the beach. There is no air conditioning but there also is no glass in the wood-shuttered windows. The sea breezes at night blowing through the condo will cool you enough for sleep in the amazingly comfortable bed. There is a TV that is hard to hear with the sound of the surf echoing in the condo, but who cares? All the entertainment you could want is waiting on the beach sunbathing, in the water snorkeling, or sitting on the lanai mesmerized by the view. Incredibly romantic for two and my idea of paradise. ”

“ We loved Unit 209 at Napili Bay Resort and would return there in a second. It is the southwest corner room on the 2nd floor, so an easy 180 degree panorama of the sea & sand, right on the beachfront. We rec'd excellent service from Chuck, who always answered our emails promptly, Lisa the local agent who was there in 5 min. when our coffeepot went kaput, and Lee, the resident manager who helped me with change when I was in the laundry room. (They do have a bill changer but it didn't like my $s). The room was well stocked with enough towels for our 2 week stay, enough TP, & tissue. Also had 2 better than usual boogie boards (we have had other experiences), 2 beach chairs, small ice chest, laundry basket, drying rack which we used on the lanai every day, & more. Laundry room has used books and magazines and an ice machine right outside. We loved the closeness to the beach, 30 seconds, and that a key is required to come into the complex from the beach or to go out, so there aren't people wandering through. It is on the small side, but we weren't in our room much. It is not as updated as some of the rooms, but not as old as some of them, either. Huge mirror on the north wall reflects the sea and makes room look larger. Since we were entertaining two friends almost every night (!) who were staying nearby, we found it very cramped on the lanai, which is not deep. We did have trouble figuring out how to get the oven doing what it's supposed to do. And while everything was immaculate, the tub and surround must be the originals and could use a little facelift. However water pressure was awesome and hot as we wanted it! Minor suggestion. We loved the tree right in front of the complex which provided the best shade and had the nicest people under it! We call it the "Giving Tree" after the Shel Silverstein book! You can't go wrong with this unit 209! ”

“ This was our fourth visit to The Napili Bay Resort and the second stay in unit #209. The location can't be beat as you are directly on the beach with panoramic views of both Molokai and Lanai. Unit #209 is on the corner of the second floor directly facing the bay so the lanai is open on two sides which gives you what I think is the best view of all the condos in the complex. Aloha Condos manages #209, as well as several other units in the complex and I can't say enough about how great they are to work with. Chuck and his group are very professional, communicate quickly and definitely have the "aloha spirit". Both condos that we stayed in were well kept, had very comfortable beds and all the amenities that we could wish for ( free WiFi, dishwasher, cable tv, beach chairs, boogie boards, etc). The only item that is missing from # 209 is a fridge with ice and water in the door so it is more convenient to make that mai tai! On our first stay in this unit we were amazed at how loud the ocean was, so if you are a light sleeper perhaps you should bring ear plugs for the first few nights until you adjust to the crashing surf. After a short adjustment we now love the continually changing character of the ocean as well as the constant breeze that keeps the condo comfortable. I think that the Napili Bay Resort has the best location and is the best value in West Maui. Napili Bay itself is picture perfect, with a great sandy beach and a low key " Old Hawaii Feel". Thanks again to Chuck and his group for another memorable stay. ”

“ We had a wonderful stay at Napili Bay Resort #209. This was our second stay at Napili Bay, and 209 is just a perfect unit in a great little affordable resort. The condo itself is well equipped with just about everything you would need for a comfortable week on the beach. (We only had one issue, as we think the oven isn't working properly, should be looked at or repaired.) This resort has no pool or hot tub, which doesn't bother us as we spend our time on the beach or in the ocean, but if you are looking for a full service resort, this isn't it. We had unbelievable views from a private lanai in this corner unit, and the proximity to the ocean on this beautiful, low key bay is fantastic. I have never stayed anywhere in Hawaii where I was so close to the water. The sound of the surf in the units facing the ocean is amazing. The water in Napili bay is perfect for swimming and snorkeling, as is the water in the very close Kapulua bay. There are great walking trails in Kapalua, and the General Store at Kapalua is a nice inexpensive place to have breakfast or a cup of coffe after an early morning walk in Kapalua. The Sea House Restaurant on Napili is also a good breakfast, lunch or sunset dinner spot with reasonable prices for Hawaii. We watched dozens of whales all week from our lanai. The grocery market in Napili is just minutes away, and a much better alternative for buying food and supplies than the very busy Safeway in very busy Lahaina. There is quite a bit of traffic on this side of the island, especially from Lahaina to Kapalua, but was not a big problem if you avoid driving at rush hour. We would recommend Napili Bay wholeheartedly! ”

We love to experience early mornings and sunsets and moonlit nights on the deck - after snorkeling in the bay for up to four hours every day. The amenities of the unit are superb and tasteful - though we hope the owner will upgrade the shower/bath someday. And perhaps a high definition TV with a DVR might be a nice touch...

We even saw a rainbow or two. Wonderful welcome basket from the owner. The directions and instructions to access the condo on our own were perfect. Free wifi, too. If you are looking for a low key place to experience beautiful Maui this is it! ”

“ My wife and I had a fantastic week on Maui. Napili Bay Resort Condo 209 was just as expected. No problems what so ever. Hadn't been to the islands in 25+ years, but it really stood up, unlike Cabo, the circus has come to town down there. Hawaii is still paradise. Don't miss the food at Pacific O, our favorite, Bling Bling and Hapa Hapa are outstanding. Ocean sounds were soothing, bed very comfy, fans did an excellent job of cooling us off. Napili Bay beach is the best, low key, good snorkeling, and close to other great snorkeling bays. Big Kahuna omelet at The Gazebo a must. Aloha ”

“ This room is the perfect location. Great views, very comfortable, and on the best beach in Maui. We were looking for beach with waves and snorkeling, Napili is really not a surf beach, but has great snorkeling. There are surf beaches just above and below Napili, and none of them are as beautiful or relaxing. Turtles everywhere, eels, rays, and countless fish in the bay. Make sure you go to the Seaside Restaurant, on the north side of the beach at Napili Kai resort, for happy hour 2-5. Great apps and drinks at a good price. We got lucky and just happened to stay here without knowing how nice it was. Now you know, just stay here and forget looking elsewhere. Chuck and Kathy were very nice as well. We will be back for sure. ”

The condo was clean and had everything a person could need. The welcome basket was cool and it felt very homey tight away. I was worried about no air conditioning but it was never a problem. This condo is literally right on the water which was super nice but at night the waves are loud. My wife loved that and said it helped her sleep but I had to get used to it. We would return again in a heartbeat. ”

“ This is my 7th or 8th time visiting The Napili Bay. I always stay on the 2nd floor which allows the best view of killer sunsets each night. There are sea turtles swimming 25 yards from your lanai. The location is great because its away from all the touristy stuff in Lahaina and minutes from some of the best FREE snorkeling on Maui. The condo is perfect for making dinner with all the pots and pans, etc. The king size bed is comfortable and the condo is clean and styling. They also have a great bbq area for grilling your fresh fish and pineapple. The Napili market is around the corner for any extra needs. Once you visit here, you will not want to stay anywhere else. We will be back again next year. Scott and Nancy ”

Best view in Maui, I can say that because we stayed in different locations on Maui before, and never had such an incredible view! The room is 20 seconds from the beach! The apartment was not overly updated but super clean, wonderful bed!!! Huge and comfortable! We slept like babies in it :). Everything was available. There is no air conditioner but it did not bother us too much. If it got warm we would open all the windows and enjoy the breeze and the view. We were 5 minutes away walking from famous Gazebo restaurant, where the locals love to eat too and on the right side walking distance to Seahouse! Incredible food too! Try macadamia, banana and pineapple panecakes in Gazebo! I liked everything. It would offcourse nice to have an air conditioner but again not a must! Incredible experience.

“ My hubby and I are still glowing after a wonderful, relaxing (too short) vacation at Napili Bay Resort. We stayed in #209 and were very content with this corner unit. It was clean and well equipped, and tastefully decorated. We thoroughly enjoyed the spectacular view from the balcony...we even saw a few whales breaching off in the channel! It did get quite hot on the balcony from 2-4pm, but the beach is steps away, the ocean is lovely and we could always find a spot of shade under the big tree to sit and read and relax. The snorkeling on the reef in the bay is decent, and we saw green sea turtles swimming right in the bay. A really excellent snorkeling site is aprox. 10 kms up the road in Honolua Bay, and I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys snorkeling...we saw incredible corals, turtles, a Moray Eel, and countless beautiful tropical fish...most excellent! Fruits and veggies are pretty expensive on Maui, but there's a little farmers market/grocery store on the left side of the road heading towards Kanapali that had the best prices. Also we found some good fresh reasonably priced fish and meats in the Napili Marketplace store on Napilihau Street, which is a 2 min. drive away from the condo. They also have a good selection of wine, etc. The entrance to this store is a little hard to spot as it's located inside a small strip mall of sorts, and you probably won't see the entrance door unless you get out of your car and check out the store fronts...it's a little to the right of the middle. Anyways, we managed to put 500 miles on our rental car in a week...drove up to the volcano, and took the road to Hana...went to the souvenir market in Kihei, and just generally had a great time! Hope to be back here one day soon, and would highly reommend Napili Bay Resort...the location is fabulous. ”

“ My wife, 4 month old son, and one set of grandparents spent a great week at Napili Bay Resort. Condo 209 was actually just right for all of us. The accomodations were spacious enough. The sunset views were incredible right from the balcony. Picture whales in the distance lit by the setting sun! Really. The cove just outside was filled with turtles and provided some great snorkeling, even for my parents. Though it is a little bit difficult getting in and out of the water for those less fit. A Snorkel Bob's is a 10 minute walk for rental equipment. The proximity to Napili Beach made for a nice easy stroll. There is a local grocery, coffee shop and a Maui Tacos all close by. Lahaina is a 15 minute drive. We are cyclists and rode a round trip heading north from the condo all the way around to near the airport and clockwise to Lahaina. A beautiful ride with good climbs early on. The condo was kept clean, towels exchanged regularly. There were adequate cooking utensils as we prepared most of our meals at the condo. We called ahead and rented baby equipment from a local baby rental business. It was there when we arrived and was picked up after we left...very convenient. Maui is enchanting...Napili Bay Resort made it easy, condo 208 has a beautiful location. ”

“ My wife and I stayed at the Napili Bay condos and I am extremely happy with it. If you are undecided about staying at a condo vs a hotel....GO CONDO! You won't have to deal with gift shops, elevators and all that mess. If you are unsure about which beach, Napili Bay was wonderful for adults and kids, but wasn't overcrowded. About the condo itself: I stayed in a second floor unit facing the beach and at night the waves crashed hard on the rocks there on the edge of the bay and this resort appears to take the brunt of the decibels. I had to wear earplugs to sleep. But I would do it again, and stay in the same room again, and wear earplugs again, because the view and the location of the condo was awesome. ”

“ As described on the website, this condo is one of the most popular condos on-site. No doubt why - 2nd story, oceanfront, corner condo with privacy, beautiful views of the beach, Molokai across the way, the turtle activity, and lovely beach, great photo opportunities for the sunsets, not to mention the nearby Gazebo restaurant for lunch and dinner. Besides that, the grounds were immaculate and had all kinds of beautiful flora, and we loved the availability of the gas grills and laundry. We took advantage of grill to do some dinners in, which helped fray the meal expenses. Transportation for island activites, such as the Haleakala sunrise bike trip and the Hana Highway excursion were easily available to us with pick ups at the roadside. All services were nearby, as were additional lovely beaches and blowholes. We would recommend Aloha Condos to everyone and would love to return to condo 209 in the future. I can't say enough wonderful things about Napili Bay - it was truly paradise. ”

“ We absolutely loved our one-week stay at Napili Bay #209. Writing this review makes me want to book a flight back for tomorrow. The condo was clean and bright, and it was perfect for our needs for the week. We loved being able to step out onto the small balcony and enjoy the beautiful view. Chuck, the owner, was great to work with and was very helpful in answering some questions we had as first-time visitors to Hawaii. I would recommend this unit to anyone. The only thing to keep in mind, if anyone in your party is a light sleeper, is that you can't turn off the sound of the waves crashing on the beach. This condo is ON THE BEACH - and it can be loud (and, since it's a public beach, so can the people). Since the windows don't exactly "close," the sound can only be muffled - not completely shut out. It didn't bother me so much, but it did take my husband a couple of nights to get used to it. In NO way do I want to deter anyone from staying here, but if you like to sleep in silence, be prepared - you may want to invest in some earplugs! FYI - my husband was also very concerned that this unit does not have air conditioning, but it was truly not an issue at all. It's very breezy, and hopefully you'll be spending most of your time enjoying the beautiful Hawaii outdoors anyway! ”

We relax mostly and swam during the day. We snorkeled with turtles just a few feet around the corner. We would stay there again.

“ We love Napili Bay. We found the area through a travel agent and stayed at a local hotel. I recommended the location to a co-worker who found the Napili Bay condo units. We tried them next and are now true repeat fans. We know it, the sea turtles, the sunsets, the view of Molokai, the local coral reefs and even some residents so we feel like it's our little second home when we get to visit. It's not fancy hotel living. It's comfortable, relaxing and friendly for those who are looking to feel more at home and happy to hang out in a studio apartment than be waited on. The bay is beautiful and not too big. Therefore, you never feel crowded in. Condo 209 is perfect for us and the owner is wonderful. He makes certain everything is up to snuff and that you are welcome and appreciated. The grounds manager is always there to help too. The room is tropically decorated and puts you in the island mood quickly. The bed and amenities are very comfortable. There is a television and DVD/VCR if you're so inclined. There are boogie boards and beach chairs to use. We get our food when we arrive, cook in the evenings and have no pressure to leave the bay unless we want to. Breakfast on the lania watching the clouds drift by Molokai and the sea turtles feed on the coral just yards away is fantastic. The condo is on the west corner and you will be treated with incredible sunsets every night. The only thing to note is that the rooms do not have air conditioning - ceiling fans though - so it can get warm inside but who cares when you need only a swimsuit to enjoy Napili Bay. Give it a try if you want to wind down from a hustle bustle life and tune in to a relaxing and rejuvenating place. ”

“ This was our second stay at Napili Bay and our first time at unit 110. For a small studio condo it's surprisingly comfortable. The unit is well equipped with everything you will possibly need, including beachy items (chairs, boogie boards, noodles, towels). We used the common laundry and the machines worked great too. The bed was very comfy and my husband loved the shower. Our only complaint was that for the first two days our next door neighbour's baby was crying and hollering non-stop, from 6:30 am until bed time. We let Lisa know and she was pretty sympathetic and also informed us that they'd be checking out the next day. It did not go well when we confronted the parents directly about it -- in their opinion, there was nothing they could do about it and they were not at all concerned that all their neighbours were totally fed up. There were many kids with parents at the complex when we were there and they were no bother whatsoever, but I do not think it's fair for guests to have to put up with an inconsolable baby. The unit is clean with modern appliances and the common property is clean too. There's a great barbecue and eating area which we used a lot. We will stay there again most definitely because of good proximity to gorgeous beaches and snorkelling, shopping, restaurants and activities. ”

One of my favorite features at the resort was the outdoor "Ice Hut" with a large ice maker where we could get unlimited ice for our cooler and for my pitchers of Mai Tai's! This complex has plenty of free parking, a shaded BBQ area with tables and gas barbeques, and easy beach access. Sitting on our lanai, we could see the breaking waves which were about 50 feet away. At night we left our shutters open to the cool evening breezes and sound of the surf. Can't wait to return next year for another stay in #110!! Vicki & Pat, Colorado Springs, CO ”

My wife and I loved the Big Island because of its natural beauty and because it wasn't overdeveloped. Being on Kaanalapi would have driven both of us nuts. Your location is perfect! I also wish I could have taken your Milo nut tree home with us! #110 was just fine and it was fantastic to feel comfortable with the crossbreeze running through the room. I met Lee briefly, who was very nice and it was obvious that he took pride taking care of all the units. We spent many hours on the beach, doing a few drives around when the sun was high and loved the convenience of Lahaina only 15 minutes away for lunch or dinner...It didn't affect our visit but the one thing we noticed that we found annoying were that a few inconsiderate condo owners permanently kept their beach chairs set up in prime shade areas. Bye the way, we also appreciated having the available beach chairs and coolers. ”

“ We had a wonderful time, and the condo along with Napili Bay exceeded our expectations (which were very high to begin with). Like other reviewers have mentioned, the condo is clean and neat, it is literally right on the beach, and Napili Bay is awesome. One thing no one has mentioned, that I thought I would add to your reviews is the unique sense of community at Napili Bay Resort. In talking to other folks at the BBQ, or just in passing, I learned to my surprise that we were the only people who were visiting Napili Bay Resort for the first time. Which speaks volumes about what it is like. We were quickly adopted into the fold, and invited to the "watch the sunset together with snacks and drinks" ritual every evening. Sometimes there was music, sometimes just conversation, but it was always fun, and I appreciated that whenever I would run into someone at the resort I'd receive a pleasant "hi Greg". Already planning our return for next year, and hope you'll have us back! ”

“ Nice location, clean unit. We weren't there very long, but were content with what it provided. Loved that the laundry facilities were in a separate unit and open 24/7. The only thing we really noticed was how thin the walls were and sound really travelled. You could hear people taking showers, having conversations, etc. It wasn't bothersome at all, just noticeable. Would stay there again, and got a beautiful gift basket as well. Staying longer would have been nice because Napili Bay seemed a prime spot for snorkeling. ”

“ The condo was very clean. A little small as we had 3 people in it, but made it work. Had everything we needed to feel at home. So close to town that cooking in the condo wasn't necessary. A little difficult for us Minnesotans to get used to the waves at night. Condo is far enough away from the busy town, yet not too far to be an inconvenience. Everyone at their condos were very considerate and respected other's privacy. You really can swim with the turtles, see dolphins, and whales right from the condo! ”

“ The lanai has a wonderful view, enjoying many sunsets and watching whales. The beach was ok. It rained quite a bit and there was a sudden drop off into the water, so it really isn't good for children. We ended up getting in the car and going to different beaches. The condo needs updating and was definitely not worth the rental price I paid. The shower water temperature would change continually while using it. I usually stay in Kihei and really enjoy that area of Maui much better. Had a nice time (it's Maui, after all), but will probably not stay there again. ”
Manager response:
“ Liz, were glad you enjoyed the whales, beautiful sunsets and our ok beach. This condo does have an older remodel with tiled counters - exactly as displayed in photos and video on our website. We trust you found it fully cleaned and stocked for your visit. Recent updates include a brand new pillow-top mattress, and we just installed a new dishwasher. I personally checked the shower temperature and couldnt duplicate the problem you describe, but had you contacted one of us as you were invited to do if you experienced any difficulty we would have checked it out immediately.

I didn't surf on august, in the bay you can paddle board or body board(you'll find 2 body boards in the unit). I found the unit 207 very clean and comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped, you have everything you need, it's quite and really well kept as the entire condo, with parking, BBQ area, laundry.

“ We arrived at Napili Bay Resort Condo 207 and were pleasantly surprised with a gift basket of fruit and chocolates. It is a cozy studio condo, but it was room enough for the two of us. It was well furnished with everything we needed for our 4-night stay. The condo was clean and the beds were comfortable. The lack of a/c wasn't a problem because it was cool enough at night with the cross ventilation while listening to the soothing sound of the waves. From the patio, we had a great view of the bay and the sunsets over the edge of Molokai. Two very nice beach chairs, boogie boards and towels were provided. The very easy access to the great beach was a blessing. The only problem was on the first night our next door neighbors were up late into the early morning talking on their patio. Fortunately, this only happened on one night. Chuck was great with his email communications before we left home and quick to follow-up after our stay. Overall, it was a very nice place to stay in an exceptional location. We will definitely consider returning the next time we come to Maui. ”

“ We arrived at Condo 207 the first week of Feb. and were pleasantly surprised with a basket of fruit, chocolates, etc. The condo was clean and the beds were comfy. We didn't need the a/c because it was chilly at night which was a surprise since most of our visits have been in winter and it hadn't been as cool. We could walk out the door and practically fall into the water and the bay is great even though it was a little choppy while we were there. There were beach chairs, towels, and boogie boards and probly noodles too since we left ours behind. It was well furnished with everything you'd need. We liked everything about the place except for the service. We paid a cleaning fee which I thought meant we had someone to take care of the condo (take out trash, change towels, maybe make the bed) but it didn't. We were pretty much on our own with that. There is an upside to that because we didn't have people roaming around in our room during the day while we were out. Kathy was very nice and gave us some good tips on places to eat. Chuck was good about emailing and staying in touch before we left home. Overall, it was a very nice place to stay. ”

Maui_lover from Santa Cruz, CA on 09/21/2010 said:
“ This was our second time staying at Napili Resort condos, and it is still the amazing, idyllic place I remember. We truly truly love this place ... we came here for a week with the goal of spending our days lounging around, swimming, and cooking yummy meals for ourselves. Mission accomplished. We've stayed many other places on the island and Napili Bay is by far our favorite. There are only two potentially negative aspects to this place: (1) no a/c, and (2) we found our bed (and the pillows in particular) to be rather uncomfortable. The no a/c isn't a big deal, but if you couple that with having trouble sleeping ... can be a bad combination. I'm hoping against all hope that within the next year or two I'll see Napili Bay Resort advertise their new, extremely comfortable beds. Honestly, the next time we look to travel to Maui, the idea of restless sleep will give me pause to think about whether we really want to go back here for a 3rd time. ”

What makes this place so special is it's location, right on Napili Bay, which is an awesome beach to relax, swim, and snorkel. The only thing that would have made our particular unit more enjoyable is if it was more upgraded, after all it is beachfront. The interior looks like it hasn't been updated in a few decades, otherwise it was comfortable and you can't really complain too much about the view or falling asleep to the sound of crashing waves... ”

“ My daughter and I enjoyed a blissful week of paradise in the Napili Bay Resort Condo 207. We arrived to a clean, well-equipped condo and the lovely ocean roar as our constant companion. We saved money by eating most meals in and appreciated the little extras like sharp knives, a blender, and small cooler . The two beach chairs and boogie boards (provided) saved us the hassle (and expense!) of renting these necessities. The extremely comfortable bed, nice breeze, and ocean waves gave us some much needed R&R. I wish we could spend every spring break at this resort, particularly in condo 207! Our friends stayed at the over-priced and over-touristy Westin Hotel. They spent most of their days in front of our condo enjoying our little slice of paradise. We noticed quite a few locals enjoying the beach which seemed a good indication that Napili is the place to be! The a.m. snorkeling was incredibly and usually the bigger waves came in the afternoon, perfect for boogie boarding. And, of course, the nightly parade of whales we could watch from our lanai sealed the deal. We want to come back!!!! ”

“ Napili Bay is a fantastic location, with great snorkeling and swimming. Condo 207 has a wonderful view of the bay and was very clean, but there were a few problems. All of the kitchen knives need to be replaced. We could not cook AT ALL and ended up throwing out a lot of expensive groceries because all of the knives were so dull. We happened to be on Maui during a particularly hot time, and the condo was sweltering. A portable fan is needed in this unit. We knew there was no air conditioner, but the small ceiling fan did not circulate the air near the bed -- and the layout of the building prevented the natural breezes from cooling this condo. We loved the location, and although the condo and the property are older, they were comfortable. If you are looking for a bare bones property as a jumping off point for your adventures, this is the place, but if you want to spend a lot of time at the condo or do any cooking, look for someplace recently updated and better equipped. ”
Manager response:

The view from the lanai is breathtaking. Being lulled to sleep at night by the ocean waves and awakened by the singing birds was phenomenal. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the lanai and then enjoyed the setting sun from the beach in front of our condo. Our time at Napili Bay Resort was fantastic.

“ We came to Maui for the first time and stayed in condo 207. What a find! After much internet research we booked our vacation at Napili Bay through Aloha condos based on the great photos and testimonials of those vacationers that had gone before us. We were not dissapointed and now it's our turn to describe how our expectations were exceeded. If you want to stay in a big fancy resort with a pool and a spa, this isn't the place for you, however, if you want to be directly on a gorgeous, intimate beach with the sound of the ocean waves crashing and the convenience of your own kitchen to cook delicious meals and eat them on the lanai as the sun sets, well you have probably stumbled upon a little piece of heaven. The kitchen had everything we needed. The only issue was that the water filter needed to be changed in the fridge but I am sure the owners have attended to that since we gave them a heads up about it. There were beach chairs in the unit as well as boogie boards which we certainly used and had lots of fun with. We never had trouble parking and in general our stay was peaceful, relaxing and better than I had expected. We would definitely recommend this condo and are hoping to come back next year! ”

“ Napili Bay is a wonderful, quiet place! If you are looking for the alternative to commercialized resort then this is your place! Very clean and relaxing place, not super fancy but well kept with a nice kitchen and nice appliances and utensils. We stayed in Unit 207 which is a beach front end unit with an excellent view of the ocean and Molokai. The view is amazing and you are really close to the ocean. These studio units are just perfect. It was so nice to have a kitchenette in your suite so you could cook and take lunches down to the beach or enjoyed eating on the lanai. There were beach supplies which we used everytime we went to the beach. The place was very clean. Despite the temperature of Hawaii, the condo was generally cool due to the nice ocean breeze that came in through the wood blinds. There's also an electric and ceiling fan to keep the condo cool. These wooden blinds are also great for keeping the sunlight out in the morning. There are also books, cds, and movies in the room. There's TV, a vcr and dvd player. The free wireless internet was great and we never had any problems with it. Very convenient location overall- Napili is less commercial then Kaanapali or Wailea, more nestled in a sort of residential area, so it's cozier and more quiet but really close by is a little general store (2 min walk) and Napili Plaza with a regular sized grocery store and is short drive away. It is out of the hustle and bustle of Lahaina, but still very close to go for dinner or lunch. We would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone, providing you're not looking for a higher end hotel. This is much more relaxing. ”

BC Island Guys from Gabriola Island, British Columbia, Canada on 05/02/2009 said:
“ The Napili Bay complex is a great place to stay. We've spent two vacations there and loved them both. Unit 207 offers lots of amenities, it has everything you could possibly want during your vacation. It's clean and relatively spacious. The lanai offers absolutely spectacular views from sunrise to sunset. It's a quiet complex at night (other than the pounding surf), we rarely heard noise from other guests past 9:00 PM. The only two negative things we have to say about unit 207 is that it's time for a general updating, fresh paint, updating the shower/bathroom area - that kind of thing. The other minor criticism is that there needs to be a decent set of kitchen knives - the ones that are there just "don't cut it". We ended up doing a lot of our own cooking this year to save some money and decided to buy a few knives to use while there. In our opinion the area of Napili Bay is the best location on Maui. You don't have the crowds and bustle of Kihei or Lahania - but they're both close enough when you're ready for that! The north-west part of Maui offers the best snorkeling on the island, much of it in Napili Bay or the two neighbouring bays Honokeana or Kapalua - couldn't be closer. This year we gave up waiting for 30 - 45 minutes to get into the Gazebo restaurant (right next door in Honokeana Cove) for breakfast (holiday time is way too precious to be standing waiting to get into a restaurant). Instead we went to the other end of Napili Bay to the Sea House Restaurant which is part of the Napili Kai resort. We were surprised to find excellent value (breakfast for two $20), outstanding service, and delicious food. All of this with no wait to get in and an outstanding ocean front view. There are cheaper places to stay on Maui, but if you're looking in the Napili area for an ocean front condo, you'd be hard pressed to find better value. We've done lots of looking around at similar units and the Napili Bay still comes out ahead of many others. Mahalo! ”

“ We selected this condo because of our son's island wedding on July 7, 2007. Not only was that a very lucky number for us, it proved to be a paradise of casual Hawaii with the beachfront location, complete with the rolling waves, gentle breezes, and fabulous view. From our first positive impression with a gift of Hawaiian fruit, candies and nuts, this was a perfect spot for several families to gather. The manager, Lee, was always very courteous and friendly and made us feel very welcome, especially with our nightly gatherings at the grill area for family meals and fun. The grounds were also well groomed and tidy. The private beach access found us loving the ocean waves and an uncrowded, uncluttered beach for sunning, strolling, and exploring. We will definitely return in the future, hoping to find the condo facility as clean and as well kept as before! It was a perfect getaway, with all the comforts of home, and then some! And there is easy access to a small shopping mall nearby. The only drawback was limited parking, but the place was full, which is a good indicator of a visitor's satisfaction to Napili Bay Resort, one away from the more tourist-driven ones. Our experience there enabled all of us to feel the Aloha spirit. ”

We love the view and sleeping to the sound of the ocean. The beach is a perfect, beautiful, calm crescent. The units are simple, but more than adequate for our needs. They may not be elegant, but are well-stocked with the basics one needs to live comfortably. There is no need for A/C, given the constant breeze off the ocean. In general it is a quiet, family-friendly area, but the locals enjoy this stretch of beach as well, and one night we were kept up until the early morning by some folks hanging out in front of the property (all beaches in Hawaii are public property - so this might be a problem wherever one stayed). This was the first time we knew about the gazebo restaraunt two properties down the beach. They have the best breakfast food I have ever eaten - and the long lines to prove it! Do not miss it!! ”

If you enjoy low key beaches, being near, but not IN the "night life", and having a place that really feels like you live there...this is the place for you. Can't say enough about it, even wrote a review on TripAdvisor.com about how much we love it. My husband and I went there on our honeymoon in Aug. of 2007.

“ Our unit was very clean and comfortable. The view from our lanai is the lovliest in all Hawaii with the surf breaking just yards away. Napili Bay is a real gem. Snorkeling is good over by the point. Sunset with pupus and drinks on the beach with other residents is a great tradition. Wideband wireless internet connection in the unit was an added plus. We will return again. ”

“ We really enjoyed the beach front view, our room was facing the beach and only maybe 100 feet from the water. At night we could listen to the sound of the waves rolling up on the beach and enjoy a moonlit walk along the crescent shaped beach.The bay itself was excellent for snorkeling and swimming as well as for light scuba diving.The studio like room was nicely kept and quiet from the adjoining rooms.The kitchenette was also a plus for cooking as well as the outdoor BBQ and washer/dryer in the common area.I highly recommend this condo for those who don't need all of the five star luxuries of a large hotel. Our stay was part of our honeymoon...We loved Hawaii... ”

“ We especially enjoy the fact that this condo is RIGHT on the beach and literally a stones throw from the ocean. The condo when clean and in good repair and had great views of the area. We enjoyed morning walks near the well known local golf course and the Pineapple plantation area. One suggestion; it would be nice if the Lanai furniture had bar stools rather than regular chairs since the existing chairs are too low to sit on and see over the lanai wall. ”

“ We have stayed at Aloha Condos for several years now. We find it to be a safe, friendly & relaxing place, away from the usual "touristy" areas. The condo is always clean & well supplied with all of the cooking necessities you would need. Grocery stores are within a 20 minute walk or a short drive. There is some great "fast-food" nearby & some first-class restaurants a short drive away. The beach is just a few steps from the condo & beach towels, beach chairs & various toys are supplied with the condo. We use the on-grounds BQQ several times a week to cook dinner. This is a wonderful convenience for us! I also like having a coin washer & dryer available for the guests as our stay is usually 2 weeks. It makes the packing much lighter! We would recommend a condo at Aloha Condos to any anyone! Enjoy!! ”

“ My wife and I traveled to Maui with a group of friends. We chose to stay at the Napali Bay condos as opposed to the higher priced place our friends stayed at. We were the only ones with an Ocean front room and the most incredible view as well as a welcome basket! With the full kitchen and outdoor bbq, we felt right at home. There's just something about sitting on the Lanai, with the breath taking view while having your BBQ steak dinner. Our room was very nice and included free wi-fi. We are planning another trip back and will rent the same room again,we loved it!! Renting at the Napali Bay was a pleasant experience. Thank You. ”

“ We stayed at Napili Bay 201 for the second half of our honeymoon after staying on Kauai at the Koa Kea boutique resort. The intention was to "splurge" on Koa Kea and then balance it out with a cheaper condo rental. Don't get me wrong, Koa Kea was amazing, but we honestly enjoyed our time at Nb201 just as much (albeit for different reasons). When picking our "affordable" condo rental, something that was right on a good beach was a must, as well as an updated interior with newer furniture, kitchen & bathroom not like sooo many other condos in the area that seem to be straight from 1972. We were completely satisfied with how it looked inside and we were very comfortable. Everything including the lighting has been updated which can be dimmed to set the mood. I'm not saying everything was brand new and top-of-the-line but it was definitely to the level of a typical modern middle class home or better. The beach was perfect; not too busy, lots of fish, some turtles and even a few eels to see while snorkling, and a fantastic view of the sunset as it sets over the island of Mokolai every night that we enjoyed from the balcony. There is a nice restaurant right on the beach, and I was able to walk 15mins to a very nice golf course one morning (Kapalua Bay). Overall, nothing bad to say about this place. Don't hesitate to book it! -D&K; age 29 from Toronto, Canada ”

“ The star rating does not do justice to this unit. A 3-star equals "averageâ and a 4-star equals "very goodâ. It was neither, it was just good. It does not rate "very goodâ because of the fact that the unit was very cramped with furniture, the shower/bath was dated, the bed spread a bit "whew" and dark. On the other hand it had everything you could think of in terms of gadgets such as Wi-Fi, i-pod docking station, flat screen TV (we only used once)books,games,video's and Dvd's. Most importantly it had beach chairs, but unfortunately no beach umbrella. The towels were adequate, the utensils and dishes were more than that. However the location was spectacular. We felt we got our money's worth, but I would not pay more than "special low season prices. ”
Manager response:
“ Mahalo for your review and comments on my beachfront condo.
It is a studio condo and difficult to put a large and luxurious California King Bed along with a Plush and Comfortable L-Shaped Sofa for 2 in a smaller space. You may want to rent a 1 bedroom for your next stay and we have some great ones at the Kaleialoha and Nohonani resorts..
I am glad that you liked the Free Wi-Fi and HD TV that is kept hidden behind the Custom Maple Cabinetry that was specifically designed to fit the condo. I am also pleased that you liked the fully stocked custom kitchen that again was designed for a small space.
I no longer stock beach umbrellas because they can blow out to sea due to the constant and cool trade winds that blow through Napili. Please do take advantage of the great big tree right in front of the resort where our local resident manager Lee has trimmed to look and work like a big umbrella. It's the best shady spot on Napili Bay Beach.
A new bedspread has arrived and I'll have both my local contact and my cleaning company continuing to keep a close watch and make sure everything is in order. I don't know what you mean by "whew" but it would have been nice if you had contacted either my local contact or my cleaning company to rectify any and all issues that you had. They are available and glad to help anytime via the phone numbers provided in the condo and in your check-in details.

“ This was our 4th trip to Maui. We've stayed at another condo on the same beach, but it wasn't available. We preferred it. This unit is partially very good, partially not so good. Right on the beach, and yeah, the waves are incredibly loud! Beach activity starts by 7 a.m. The condo BBQ area got noisy on some nights. The lanai now has a view straight through the next condo building to the north because of landscape work done while we were staying there, but there's no privacy on the lanai anyway because of the beach. Excellent linens & mattress, kitchen equipment very mixed. I did some extra cleaning. The furnishings were too dark for me, and I would have liked a dining table rather than just a coffee table. ”
Manager response:
“ Thank you for your review and I am disappointed that my beachfront condo didn't meet your needs.
Please keep in mind that the landscaping work only temporarily opens up the view to the condo complex (Napili Sunset) located north and behind the Napili Bay Resort. The banana trees grow back very quickly - in weeks!
Because my condo is a corner top floor condo, it has a view to the north as well as to the west. See the 5th view photo on the Aloha Condos website (http://www.alohacondos.com/assets/photos/unit227/medium/1view5.jpg) to see this view looking directly north (the condo lanai faces west) and you'll see the landscaping and the resort behind.
We have staff available 24x7 every day of the year if you have any problems with missing kitchen equipment or cleaning. I encourage all of my guests to make use of these services, and I provide a phone number in the check-in materials as well as inside of the condo.
Again, thank you for your review.

San Francisco Swimmer from San Francisco on 07/12/2010 said:
“ Pros: Best condo on beautiful Napili cove--nice understated tropical decor with wooden louvered shutters to let in the trade winds. Owners provided a deluxe basket of fruit and chocolate when we arrived. Very well-equipped kitchen with everything provided to bbq on the gas grill and dine on the lanai with a spectacular view of Molakai. Condo is economical on space, yet there was plenty of storage, a king bed with luxury linens, and an L-shaped sofa big enough for both of us to stretch out with our books in the evening, Perfect for anyone who wants to be steps away from the beach--you'll hear the surf in your dreams which we loved. I went swimming twice a day and it was so convenient to practically step out of the ocean and into the condo. Cons: None unless you are super noise sensitive. Walls are thick, but you will hear your neighbors on the lanai and the surf at night. Suggestions: Can't think of anything to make this condo better. Maybe a tea pot to go with the tea kettle? Really, evrerything was lovely. ”

“ We stayed in unit 201 for 11 days in late April-early May and simply cannot say enough great things about it. The view is spectacular from the private lanai - a view across to Molokai, perfect sunsets, etc. The beach is right there below, just walk out the door, down the stairs and there you are. The beach where the condo is located is great for swimming and sunning and relaxing. If you like snorkeling better, the cove to the left (across the rocks) and the first beach to the right (go through the resort on the point to the right) are both fantastic. As for the condo itself, it is nicely decorated, the bed is large and comfortable, and the kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals. There is a decent grocery store in Napili Plaza 5 minutes drive away. My girlfriend and I had the time of our lives - this place is simply magic. The price is very affordable too, not cheap but much less than a Lahaina/Kaanapali hotel/resort and the experience of being in your own condo is MUCH better than what you'd experience in a hotel. I have been to Maui several times, and this was by far the most enjoyable place I have ever stayed. One reviewer said that the waves were loud at night, which is true but you kindof tune it out pretty quickly. Maybe because of all the fun we were having, we had no problem sleeping and found the sounds of the waves very relaxing in no time at all. Anyway, trust me, this place is fantastic. ”

“ 25 or so years ago, I lived in Maui and had to drop off a car in Napili to what I think was this unit. I remember standing on the lanai thinking that this was the best location in all of Maui. When I decided to return to Maui this spring, I used Google Earth and the web to track down this unit and the owner. I am very glad that I did. The unit is well equipped with everything that one needs for an extended stay- complete full-sized kitchen (refrigerator, stove, dishwasher) and kitchenware (even a rice cooker), boogie boards, beach towels, very comfy beach chairs, sofa, king bed, and a pile of movies. The unit is simple but has everything and it all is in excellent condition. In my opinion, this second- floor corner unit is the best location on Napili Bay. You can sit on the lanai and watch the people on the beach and have dinner while watching the sunset between Molokai and Lanai. I used to own a rental in Hawaii and know the commitment that it takes to keep a unit up to date and this owner has done an excellent job. I found Aloha Condos to be very professional and attentive with a good website with lots of info. This condo is literally on the beach, one could not get this project approved in this location today. I love Napili Bay. There is surf, snorkeling, and good beachfront restaurants on each end of the beach. The area buildings are a reasonable scale and the entire vibe of the area is old-school Maui. The nearby Napili Kai Resort has a Wednesday concert series with the best slack key guitarists in Hawaii. In terms of cautions, the sound of the surf is wonderful and relaxing to me. If you are not comfortable with the noise, this may not be the unit for you. Once again, this unit is literally on the beach. Beach goers make noise and that starts about 8 am. The unit is a studio so there is no bedroom to use as a getaway. Not friendly for disabled visitors. I will definitely return and recommend this unit to friends. ”

“ We looked forward to this trip and were excited to find a reasonably priced condo right on the beach. Communication between the condo owner and us was really good and we had no trouble finding or getting into the condo late at night when we arrived. The home was just what we expected having seen photos on the internet. The kitchen was fully equipped and we were especially surprised and pleased to find an ipod dock in the room to charge our ipod and itouch. Some of the issues we had were that the unit was very tidy and 'surface' clean...it really could have used a thorough cleaning as it was somewhat grubby. The king sized bed needs a new mattress as it is very sloped on the side closest to the bathroom and this was hard on my back and made sleeping difficult. So, it wasn't restful sleeping there. The location and Napili Beach is wonderful. There were a couple of times that I would have appreciated someone in the 'office' to get some service...but, there's no office or obvious way to reach a manager for the complex. This was a bit frustrating. The bed alone would prevent me from renting this condo again. We thought we would 'love' the sound of the surf lulling us to sleep, however, the surf was bigger than usual (the locals said) and very loud....crashing and roaring all night which also interrupted and affected our sleep. Otherwise, it was a nice stay. Thank you. ”
Manager response:
“ Mahalo for your review on my beachfront condo in Maui. This is the first negative review I've received so I felt it was important that I personally review your concerns.
Your review notes that the condo needed a thorough cleaning so I've made my local contact and cleaning company aware of your disappointment - but first thought I'd check out the condo myself before letting them know.
When I first arrived in Maui there were guests already in my condo, so I asked them if felt the same way as you and they said absolutely not. They were surprised that a previous guest party had not felt the condo was thoroughly cleaned.
After the guests left I did an inspection and again didn't find the condo to be dirty "behind the surface". Of course my cleaners are now on alert and my local contact will continue to check their work after every cleaning.
Your comment on the bed mattress surprised me and I am sorry that you had trouble sleeping. I have installed 10 of these same high quality mattresses in all of my vacation rentals in Hawaii and have never had a negative comment since I put them in 2 years ago. The brand is Bergad and they are high-end Isoform Visoelastic mattresses. I've found them to be better than the Tempur-Pedic mattresses that I used to use because not only are they more comfortable, they are much cooler. I've had at least 20 comments from my guests raving about how they had never slept on a better surface and I love sleeping on them myself.
Based on your comment about sloping, I just replaced the box springs. The old ones were built for a spring-type mattress and the new ones are specifically made for Bergad-type mattresses.
You had mentioned that you needed to reach somebody for service but you never tried to reach my local contact or cleaner during your stay. Their phone numbers are included in the check-in materials as well as inside of the condo and they are available 24 hours a day. It would have been nice to have been able to give them the opportunity to resolve the issue(s) that frustrated you during your stay.
Lastly, this beachfront condo is 35 feet from the ocean. You would land in sand if you jumped off the lanai. The sound, smell, sights and feeling of being by the beautiful blue waters of the Pacific Ocean is why this condo is so popular. If you don't want to have this direct beachfront experience, I own condo 217 and would recommend this lovely beach view condo as a better choice for any future stay with us.
Again, thank you for your comments.
With Aloha,
Jim Dornfeld, Owner, Napili Bay Resort Condo 201 ”

“ Unit 201 at Napili Bay is a dream. You couldn't be closer to the water and the views are amazing. You can see the islands of Lanai and Molokai from the condo, not to mention the lovely stretch of soft sand and blue water right in front of you. The mattress was the best I've ever slept on, one of those visco-elastic memory foam beds. It's also a king size bed, which for some reason is hard to find in a studio condo out there. We swam with turtles every day. The best way to do that from the condo, by the way, is to walk left at the beach and follow the little footpath over the lava rocks to the small, protected bay on the other side (you'll pass the Gazebo restaurant). There are a couple easy entry spots, you'll see people getting in and out of the water, just follow them. The only "con" I can think of about this place is the constant sound of waves hitting the shore, 24/7, day and night. That's really nothing to complain about, I know, but I'm a light sleeper and we had to keep the windows open (it was August), and the waves really can seem noisy in the middle of the night. But that said, I would stay there again in a heartbeat. Can't wait to go back. P.S. For anyone who cares, I did not see a single bug in the condo. ”

“ This end unit (north) provides a more panoramic view of the beach from the lanai. And 2nd floor adds more privacy as neighbor condos cannot see down into your space. Nice beach for kids. Waves were large enough to have fun without looking dangerous. The beach chairs provided came in handy. Shaded outdoor cooking area was a nice addition to the full kitchen inside (with blender, toaster, etc). Onsite manager (Lee) and cleaning staff were pleasant and kept things neat. No problems with pests. ”

“ My stay in Unit 201 was my third stay at Napili Bay Condo's and I would have to say that although each of the units that I have stayed in were wonderful, Unit 201 was the best because of the upper level, corner location. This unit is beautifully furnished, equipped with everything you will need and nice patio furniture on the lanai to enjoy the breathtaking views. The only con with this unit would be if you had any physical issues that would make it difficult to get your luggage up the stairs. This complex is located on the best beach in Maui, the grounds are immaculate and the feel is relaxed. It is a short driving distance to lots of shopping and dining options, quite a few within walking distance.There may be some noise from the beach (because it is literally right below the lanai!), but being on the second floor helps to buffer it. Do not hesitate to rent this unit. If you are headed to Maui for the beach, the scenery and relaxation, you will not be disappointed! ”

Napili Bay condos are completely self-contained, safe, quiet and right on the best part of the bay. There's even a large tree on the beach for shade. A few great restaurants are within walking distance, if you feel you need a break from cooking. And spending time on the beach is a great way to meet your neighbours. Barbecues out back are super convenient, along with the laundry facilities and parking. I wouldn't stay anywhere else on Maui. It's the perfect oceanfront holiday. ”

I would choose this condo again because of the location on Napili Bay, the great accomodations and decor and because of the wonderful hospitality and personal touches that Jim will have waiting for you when you arrive.

It's on the best bay on Maui - beautiful sunsets, clear water for swimming & snorkelling, resident turtles, and only a few feet from breakfast every morning to the sand. An easy drive to Lahaina and the condo itself is well equipped, very clean, great decor and the sound of the ocean was wonderful to listen to every night. The welcome basket was a great touch! Evenings are very quiet and perfect for romantic moonlit walks along an empty beach. This is a unit that all you have to do is show up with your flip flops and your bathing suit and you're set.

“ As I found and booked this property online I wondered how accurate the descriptions were until we arrived. It was very accurate and there was no surprises other than a nice welcome gift in the room. The property sitting on the beach allowed a number of activities for young and older participants. We watched whales drinking coffee in the morning on the lanai, playing on the beach, snorkeling in the wonderful bay accompanied by the resident turtles and catching as much sun as possible. We enjoyed cooking ourselves when we wanted in a well equipped kitchen although we have visited 2 restaurants easily accessible in neighboring resorts. There is a plaza close by to allow groceries shopping, renting snorkeling equipment, booking activities etc. We appreciated all information provided by the owners where to go, what to do, where to eat out. We did quite a lot of exploring of Maui but would likely be perfectly happy just to stay and rest on "our beach". We liked the unit perfect for 2 people- it was clean, well maintained - we were very comfortable after the first night that surprised us by the sound of ocean's waves and palm's "talking" in the wind. Overall it was one of the best vacation ever. I can wait to go back there. ”

The kitchen and bathroom are beautifuly done, huge fridge, lots of pots and pans everything you need. Walk out onto the deck and you are a few feet from the water, the waves coming in are quite loud but this adds to your holliday experience. Checkin was easy and there was a Gift basket waiting there, with chocolates and coffee This was greatly appreciated after the trip over. There are good restaurants nearby, we ate at mamas ribs and chicken at the napili plaza. Good value , the terriaky chicken is the best. , The seahouse at the napili kai resort at the end of the beach was excellent. I thought the prices would be higher but they were reasonable and had great pupus and drink specials from 2 till 5. I had the bannana pancakes for breakfast it was so huge i had to take a picture of it and it was only 7.00 comes with macadamia nuts on top this was the best ive had and you didnt have to wait for an hour like at the gazebo restaurant. Snorkel bobs is one minute away and can supply your needs. I rented a rx mask and snorkel because i need glasses and what a difference. They also rent boogie board flippers for 2.00 a day. The weather is a little finicky in the napili area but when the sun is shinning you cannot rival the beauty of this area. The beach is a beautiful but filled with many people. There are turtles near the left side of beach most of the day , just look for the people pointing and taking pictures. We hope to come back next year to condo 107. The condo could use a cooler for beach days i hope they add that for our next trip. ”

“ Napili Bay Resort is a hidden gem! I traveled here with my boyfriend and we spent a week enjoying excellent snorkeling, beautiful views, amazing sunsets and just overall relaxation. The condo itself is small, but perfect for 2 people. The location is the best part about it. I appreciated that we didn't have to leave the area for anything. We snorkeled, swam and body surfed right in front of our unit. There was a store and many restaurants within walking distance. I liked the proximity to Lahaina and other great snorkeling spots (Honolua Bay is a must do! We swam with 8 turtles without a person in sight!). We had a delicious and romantic dinner at Merriman's (walking distance). This condo definitely is beachfront, the waves are extremely loud at night, even with the windows shut my boyfriend had trouble sleeping. At times there will be families and noisy children on the beach pretty early in the morning, so don't expect to sleep in too late. This wasn't an issue for us, but Napili Bay gets a lot of visitors, so it's not exactly a quiet place (the beach, not the place itself- I thought the whole complex was very quiet and mellow). For the value of everything, we felt that we got an excellent deal. Booking, check-in and check-out were a breeze. All of the items in the condo are top quality (coffee maker, blender, pots/pans etc) and everything has been remodeled to reflect a lovely, modern, yet Hawaiian decor. I only wish that a beach umbrella was provided along with the great beach chairs. We ended up renting one from Snorkel Bob's for $15/week. Overall, our experience at the Napili Bay was just perfect. We met many folks who were returning to this area for their 9th or 10th time! We can't wait to come back! ”

The condo was stocked with everything we needed for cooking and going to the beach: chairs and boogie boards for the beach, and towels. There is also a grilling area on the premises. Entire condo looked newly remodeled, with nice taste in design. Bed was comfortable and it was very easy to be lulled to sleep by the sound of the ocean waves. Though we were on the first floor privacy was not a problem, since the first floor lanais are raised at about 4 to 5 feet above ground. Views of the beautiful water about 50 ft away from us on the lanai were amazing. The beach was nice too, we saw alot of marine life while snorkeling throughout the day right in front of our condo. The location was nice also because of it being away from the high rises. Yet still a very short walk to a few restaurants and a short 15 minute drive to the town of Lahaina. This was our first trip to Hawaii and we can't wait to visit again! It was so relaxing. ”

Not secluded or private, it was still a nice stay in a great neighborhood 15 min. from Lahaina. ”

“ This was a marvellous, albeit small, condo/studio right on the beach. Napili Bay is wonderful, it was like a family seaside place...no posers, just families, couples, everybody relaxed, chillin'. The suite itself was, as mentioned, very small, and I'm unsure how honeymooners have enjoyed the place given that there is NO privacy (no windows, and you can hear everything going on in every suite!). I enjoyed so many walks along Kapalua Coastal Trail, and "The Village" walk, etc. I wouldn't hesitate to stay in this condo again, for location, for comfort, for convenience. It was great. ”

“ Napili Resort Condos is the place that everyone dreams about when dreaming of vacationing in Hawaii. You wake up to a cool breeze, the aroma of the ocean filling your head as you arise to look out to a perfect sandy beach not a stone's throw away from your bed. What do you want to do today? Go swimming or snorkeling out your back door? Go surfing down the Maui coast? Maybe go conquer Haleakala Crater? Or maybe just chill all day sippin' a cold one by the beach. Cause guess what, it's Maui, and you're on vacation. With an amazingly serene location, Napili Bay Resort Condos offers superior privacy, cleanliness and quality. This condo offered us the freedom that we were hoping for on our honeymoon- the opportunity to come and go as we please, cook what we wanted in our own private kitchen, and be on the shore the entire time. ”

“ I stayed here with my adult daughter and we both loved it. The condo is located right on the beach, so the view is gorgeous. Having a balcony was wonderful. We sat out there regularly. There is no direct access to the beach from the balcony which made us feel very safe. Access on either end of the building was very convenient. I had been concerned that it would be hot or noisy with there only being screens & blinds on the windows, but that was not the case at all. It was great hearing the waves on the beach. There is a grocery store up the street and the kitchen was fully stocked for preparing food. Being right on the beach we ran back and forth for meals, snacks & drinks. It could not have been more convenient. There were boogie boards, beach chairs & towels. The condo was very cozy and had everything that we needed. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a quiet, low-key place to stay. ”

“ Right on a beautiful beach with great snorkeling, how could anyone possibly screw this up? Well, have rude, disrespetful, and unaccountable management/owners. When we found a huge cockroach nest in our kitchen cabinets and coffee pots; management was nowhere to found. Call the phone # on the office door- too bad, wrong person- call someone else- the number is in the book someplace-get their voicemail-no response ever. But when its time to leave and your scramling to go but 15 minutes late, now they (Andrea?? owner of an adjacent condo)shows up to push you out the door, verbally chastising us along the way as if we were squatting. She even blamed us for not calling the "right" Managers # when dealing with the cockroaches. This treatment to "guests" paying a lot of money, coming during a major recession where the place was half empty, is mindboggling. Your vacation is too valuable to risk staying here. If something goes wrong (and it will at some point), your completly on your own and you may even get yelled at. There are plenty of other nice affordable places in Napili to stay. We didn't even initially mind a run-in with cockroaches-this is the tropics, but we would expect someone will help get rid of a huge nest or at least return our call. Despite the great beach, we won't ever stay at this place again. They don't deserve your business, stay someplace they will treat you with some respect. ”

It's a perfect location - walking distance to the beach, snorkel and paddleboat rentals, restaurant, grocery stores and plenty of parking. Napili Bay is excellent for swimming, baking in the sun and snorkeling. The unit was very clean and well decorated. It's a studio and on a smaller side, but the bed was very comfortable and furniture well placed so it seemed bigger. Birds and the ocean can get a little loud, but I got used to it quickly. This place felt like home rather than someone else's condo or a hotel. I've visited Hawaii 3 times, and this was my favorite place to stay. ”

“ Had I not stayed in unit #214 previously I wouldn't know things could be different. The condo was very comfortable and we love this resort. The mattress was great! Most important to a good stay. Loved the smoothie maker! The kitchen was nicely stocked. The overall look was pleasing of the unit. The place needs a good cleaning, I found lots of dust and dirt around the furniture that looked like it hadn't been moved in years. Even an empty cigarette box. Just a few things, having just two kitchen towels and four bath towels didn't work for us. I wasn't thrilled to have to spend my time doing laundry so we could have clean towels. Same with beach towels. Unit #214 had double the amount of towels. We also ended up having to buy toilet paper on our next to the last day. Someone had also left one Kleenex in the box. The tile floor in the main living area is a real pain. I had to sweep the floor at least twice a day to pick up as much sand as possible even though we took our shoes off. The sand came in on our beach chairs, towels etc even though we tried to clean everything off before bringing it in. The light in the ceiling fan did not work and the fan is very unstable so we could only use it on low. We very glad there was a floor fan to use or we would have been miserable. Would be wonderful to have lights on each side of the bed for reading. Deanna did a great job of trying to make things right for us. All in all it is a very nice unit and we would come back.

Everything you need is just up the street. There is a market that is open until 11pm, which really came in handy. We had a rental car too so we could cruise the rest of the island. The parking at the condo was free which is a nice perk that not a lot of hotels offer. The beach was one of the best beaches we visited in Maui. The water was calm, which make it perfect for snorkelling. We even saw a sea turtle! Looking forward to another trip to Napili Bay Resort! ”

There was a lovely breeze flowing through the condo at all times, and plenty of fans to further cool things off if need be, which it didn't.

The condo was clean, well put together and just as shown in the pictures. No CRT, but a flat screen LCD and a blu-ray player! The room did get a bit warm at times when there wasn't any winds passing through but it never got too uncomfortable (keep the windows open for a nice cool breeze and listen to the some waves). There was some construction nearby going on during my stay but it was a minor distraction and no fault of the condo. The owner and condo caretaker responded promptly to any questions I had. The only real downside I had was that I had to leave! Next time I plan a trip to Maui, this condo will be the first place I look at. ”

The condo clearly has been well maintained and recently reappointed, and it was well-stocked with everything we needed during our four-day stay. The kitchen, in particular, was a gem. The only downside was unavoidable; due to the slack tradewinds and the usual cross-ventilation, the lack of air-conditioning was especially noticeable this trip. However, everything else was great, and we'll definitely consider another visit. ”

Everything about it was perfect. I found this condo online, and the entire process was very easy to complete. The owners of the condo stayed in touch with me about what was being charged and when, and they also provided me with all of the info I needed about the condo, facilities, directions from the airport, etc. It was so nice not having to check in at a front desk. The key was waiting for us in a lock box right outside of our door. The condo had everything we needed, including a very comfortable bed, a full kitchen, snorkel and boogie board gear, a flat screen t.v., and an outstanding view from our lanai. Evey night, we got to sleep to the waves of the ocean, and every morning, we woke up to the birds singing. The beach is steps away! While we loved Kauai, we were sad to leave condo 216. It was just not enough time there! We're already planning our trip back for next year. I would recommend this condo to anyone! ”

It was very private, yet could still enjoy the partial view of the water. The tsunami evacuation was our only downside, but in the end everything turned out well. Whales are still sight and enjoyed snorkeling and swimming in the bay. ”

Room 216 was well appointed, clean and comfortable. After staying at another unit right on the beach, I would have to say 216 was a better location as it was hard to get used to the sound of the pounding surf (small price to pay for staying in paradise!). While still having a nice partial ocean view 216 was less noisy than units right on the beach. I would not hesidated booking again at the Napili Bay Condos! ”

Cool breezes made it fine that there was no air conditioning. View of beach just as promised. Chairs on the lanai were a little uncomfortable, but necessary in height for the view.

The bed linens were cotton and very comfortable. I have no complaint whatsoever. And the price is fantastically low. I'll put it this way - I paid more in 1985 than in 2010.

It was certainly not deluxe accommodations, but I dont know of any other place where you can have a condo on the beach for under $100 per night! I think you could not have more than 2 people in these units, they are small. Also, in case you don't know, there is no air conditioning in these units. We really only slept there and did not mind the fans and the ocean breeze, but I think this could be a problem for some people who are more sensitive to the heat. The view of the ocean from this condo is indirect, but not bad, and I actually enjoyed not being on the bay front where it is more noisy and people can look into the window... We return to Napili every year and would not stay any other place in Maui. We love the quiet and would recommend it to anyone who loves a quieter more family-friendly beach vacation. But please don't tell anyone, we want to keep the crowds and high prices in Kaanapali! ”

We ate breakfast every day on the lanai, staring out at the gorgeous view. Then we'd go out snorkeling somewhere nearby and come back for lunch, then go back out to the beach or sightseeing. Home again to shower and change, and then we'd head out for a swanky dinner in Lahina or Kaanapali (short drive). The only drawback of this spot (if there is one) is that the complex doesn't have a pool. But it is within walking distance of a little grocery market to stock your fridge with breakfast and lunch foods. Also just down the beach is a pretty swanky resort with great food and drinks. Great spot and great money saver. After staying at one of the big hotels in Kaanapali and here, we'd definitely choose to stay here again. ”

In general it has a wonderful welcoming and homey feel with (mostly) very friendly people of all sorts staying at the condo complexes. The bed was very comfy. There were a few big cockroaches who would visit for snacks under the couch. Despite lots of fans, we had trouble keeping cool and there is no no way to fully close the windows against the crashing waves and roaring ocean. This disrupted/prevented sleeping. We also had a hard time finding space on the beach and were often bothered by loud people who tended to yell and smoke cigarettes. Blech. Oh well, I guess I need my own private paradise!

The beach was just outside the condo. There was a great coffee shop just down the road (Java Jazz & Soup Nutz). Many of the guests before us had written in the guest book -- both about how much they enjoyed their stay and about the sea turtles you could find swimming in a small cove nearby. We also found the turtles (and even managed to get a few surprisingly decent pictures with a disposable underwater camera!). The high speed internet worked perfectly and was very useful in planning our mini-trips around the island. We had a fantastic time staying in this condo and will look into it when we return to Maui.

There are some incredible inlets for snorkling just a few miles down the highway. The website and photos are perfectly representative of the unit and complex. It is an excellent value for the price.

“ Napili Bay was a excellent find for us in Maui the low key atmosphere and beautiful surroundings make your Hawaiian vacation everything you invision. Our condo was perfect and the view was excellent for those lanai evening cocktails and morning coffee being away from the tourist areas makes you appreciate this hidden treasure. It was everything we had hoped for and the owner was especially curteous as he promptly returned emails and phone calls. Aloha! ”

“ I have stayed on this property several times, in a different unit. The other unit is identical but cheaper, with better furnishings and a lot more aloha (fruit basket, tropical flowers and coffee provided). Unit 216 was well appointed, but did not include a basket of fruit, although previous online reviews stated that one was provided (and that it contained the best pineapple the writers had ever eaten). If the owner/rental company would like to have a fruit basket sent to my home now, I would appreciate it, and revise my review accordingly. Also, there was no dining table and there were no chairs at all inside the unit. Other than that, everything we needed was there. It was clean and pleasant. It could use a music system to play CDs. The only audio was a little clock radio with scratchy sound. The kitchen was well equipped. We bring our own snorkel gear, but more was available in the unit, as well as boogie boards, beach mats and picnic gear. We had a great time on Maui, as we always do. We love Napili Bay and Kapalua. ”

Rosann and Tom from Chico, CA on 03/30/2013 said:
“ My husband and I recently returned home from a Maui vacation which included four nights in room #218 at Napili Bay Condominiums. From the moment we entered the condo, we knew we had made a very good choice for a place to stay in this area. We had a wonderful, delicious, and fun-item filled gift basket awaiting us, providing a very sweet & welcoming touch! Out on the lanai, where we had a beautiful ocean view complete with many playful whales, there were all sorts of items to make our stay more comfortable, including snorkeling equipment, an umbrella, and great beach chairs. The condo itself was in great shape, airy and clean, with all the facilities necessary for snack and full meal preparation. The bed was extremely comfortable, and there was wi-fi for our convenience. We explored the area thoroughly, especially enjoying the snorkeling right at Napili Bay,and were very happy with our decision to stay in this area. We will definitely be back and felt that condo #218 was an incredible deal! Thanks so much for your efforts to ensure customer satisfaction, comfort,and happiness! ”

“ The singing birds each and every morning at 6:15.am were a delightful way to wake up every day. The sound of the waves were just as wonderful. We will always remember that from our stay at this condo. Stunning location. Loved sitting on the lanai for breakfast and seeing a slice of the ocean. Nice updated kitchen and good kitchen amenities. Really appreciated use of the cooler & beach chairs. Easy parking. Easy access to beach! One recommendation would be to update the bathroom with a new tub, toilet and shower curtain or shower doors. The bathroom felt a little run down. The unit could also use an updated couch. Other than that, it was wonderful. ”

Just a perfectly quiet relaxing balcony apartment with a beach view just steps away and all the necessary beach equipment (portable canvas chairs, snorkelling equipment - flippers/masks/snorkels. A bargain! and our search is over. Already making plans to return in 2013. Add a monthly Maui Bus pass for $25/senior and any daily transport needs for shopping at Napili Plaza, Lahaina, Kaanapali or Whalers Village is less than 100 yards from your door. ”

“ Where to begin?? The condo booking and check-in was seamless, and the condo itself is lovely. Everything a person would need is already there, and you're steps from the best beach in Maui. We stopped at Costco on our way in and got essentials, which worked out great so that we could relax in the morning and have breakfast on the balcony in our PJs and have lunch snacks on the beach. Only ate out a couple times, Kimo's and Merriman's, and of course the Gazebo, otherwise, ate in. So great!! Ice was already in the freezer and we also received a wonderful gift basket with great Kona coffee and other Hawaii treats! So sweet! The bed is super comfortable and the beach chairs were the absolute best! The only thing I could think of to say even partially negative had nothing to do with the condo and everything to do with the 5:30am bird and rooster wake-up calls. Lol that's the beauty of vacation, I just rolled over and went back to sleep!!! Thank you annie and Claudio!! xoxo ”

This condo was just as nice, 90 dollars a night cheaper, and it took us 20 seconds longer to get to the beach. Napili Market is a 5 minute drive, so we ate almost all our meals at the condo. Walking distance to Seahouse, The Gazebo, and Merrimans restaurants. Its a quiet location at the end of the building. From the lanai, you can see the ocean on the right and the West Maui mountains on the left. Every morning we walked the Kapalua scenic trail, which skirts the ocean for over a mile before turning upland. All in all, for us, this vacation was way less expensive than going to Florida, and about 100 times better. ”

“ Our Stay at Napili Bay Resort (Condo 218) was fantastic! Claudio and anne were very easy to work with regarding our reservation and made sure all of our needs were met. Although the condo is located one building back from the beach side of the complex, you can still see the ocean from the lanai. At the time of our stay, construction was being done on the land next to the condo. We were not affected by the noise or the workers whatsoever, because we tended to be away from the condo during the hours of construction. Most importantly, Claudio informed us of the construction being done in advance, which was not problematic. The condo itself has a galley kitchen, which includes, a coffee maker, full size refrigerator, stove and dishwasher. The local grocery center is conveniently located less than a mile away, which by the way offers fresh poke, yum! The beach is 1/2 block distance from the condo and within walking distance to the wonderful Sea House Restaurant. The snorkeling in Napili Bay is quite special in that 3 turtles inhabit the general area and you can swim with them. We will definitely return and recommend this condo to vacation. Sincerely, Deb and Jim ”

Brian and Julie from San Diego, CA on 01/16/2012 said:
“ We completely enjoyed the condo; it was great to be able to prepare our own meals using the condo's full kitchen and the common barbecue grills located downstairs. The ocean view from the Lanai is quite nice and the tradewinds blow through the unit, keeping it nice and comfortable. It was very quiet while we were there. The Napili Bay beach is beautiful and just a few steps away. We used the snorkeling equipment provided by the owner; it worked just fine. We left a couple of noodles behind for future snorkelers (they help with flotation). The only improvements we could recommend are: 1. the Internet didn't work at all and from the comments seen in the condo's journal lots of other renters have had this problem as well. The DSL light on the modem blinked constantly, which indicates a line problem. I rebooted the modem several times, but it did not fix the problem. Contrary to what some people believe, some of us do have to keep in touch with work and family while we are on vacation! Finding wifi elsewhere was a challenge. I called the local condo representative for help with the Internet problem; she followed up once but didn't get back to me after that. 2. The resort could use a hot tub; possibly they could reach an agreement with the Napili Kai resort next door to use theirs? Just a suggestion. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Unit 218! ”
Manager response:
“ Thank you Brian and Julie for your feedback on our unit, I am glad you enjoyed your stay. Regarding the internet connection I will research the issue and see what can be done to improve the reliability of the connection. I understand some guests really need access to the internet and I already pay a monthly fee to be able to provide this service so its important that its working. On the hot tub suggestion I will see what we can do.

The best place on Maui from Tacoma, Washington on 09/27/2011 said:
“ My daughter and I were looking for a reasonable place to stay for our September vacation on Maui. I came across Napili Bay Resort and looked at the info on 218. It looked like a nice place for us to stay. Were we surprised when we arrived. It was on one of the beaches(Napili Bay)that we like. The accommodations were really nice. Everything we needed was there. We were greeted with a beautiful gift basket with pinapple, bananas, chocolate covered macadamia nuts, a tote bag etc. The place was clean. We felt we were staying in a little bungalow in the jungle as outside from the lanai were all sorts of trees to the front and to the side. The birds would be singing in them in the morning. The grounds were very pretty. On the lanai, we could see the ocean. To get to the beach, it took just a few minutes. You walked across a path and unlocked the gate, and there was the beach. I think 218 is the best condo in the whole complex. We were close to all the places we like to go. We finally found the Gazebo and ate there three times. We did not go in the morning and stand in line, we waited until 1PM and went and had breakfast. We walked over to Turtle Cove and went snorkeling with the turtles. We snorkeled also at Honolua Bay, Kapalua and Napili.We went on the Coastal Trail three different times. This was a beautiful walk. Once we went all the way to D.T. Fleming Park. The other two times we made it to the boardwalk. We were close to Whaler's Village and Lahaina. We ate twice at Mama's Ribs and Rotisserie. This place was great. It was not far from the condo. It is at Napili Bay Plaza. We like the Gazebo there on Napili Bay. We also went to Cool Cat two times in Lahaina. My daughter and I are planning a trip for next September. We have stayed in two other places on Maui that were quite more expensive than this one, but this is our favorite. It would not be big enough for our entire family, but it is just the right size for my daughter Shauna and me.This was my 16th trip to Maui ”

If we were able to do it again, we still would have gone to Hana and stayed there for a few nights, but we would have doubled the time we stayed in Unit #218 at the Napili Bay Resort. Don't miss Honolua Bay for more snorkeling. So very close to Ka'anapali and Lahaina.

Right on one of the nicest beaches in Maui and it was not very crowded at all. The room was nice and clean, no a/C but with the louvers open and the great tropical breeze it was nice and we slept great on a very soft matress (the feel of a feather bed). We cooked several meals including breakfast every morning in the unit and I grilled steaks out a couple of nights. Would diffinately recommend this as a great place to stay. Fyi, the Napili Market Grocery Store right in Napili only about a 1/2 mile drive away is a good place to shop, the prices were surprisingly as low or lower than the other Super Markets such as Safeway and Times. ”

The location is ideal with Napili Bay Beach right outside, Kapalua resort area nearby with walking trails, restaurants, spa, etc. The unit had some great amenities such as beach chairs, snorkel gear, towels, etc. Recommendations for the owner would be to fix the very high transition from the tile to hardwood.

On the other hand, it did help to keep the condo cool. Overall a brilliant place to stay, I'll be back again soon! ”

“ It was a very nice place but when we booked the condo it said it had air conditioning. When we arrived it only had a ceiling fan and thatched windows. The area was beautiful but it was definately hot and sticky. Especially since this was our honeymoon! Oh, and they had said we would get a welcome basket, and we didn't :( That was kind of dissappointing but I guess that would've been above and beyond anyway so I can't be mad. It was a great view and nice on the ocean. We didn't think the snorkeling was that great. Everything was pretty mixed up and not much to see. ”

The only minor glitch during the week was that Internet access was sometimes unavailable, but the owner was very cooperative in trying to get the problem solved. The beach is right next to the complex and was never crowded. The snorkeling is good here. Restaurants and stores are conveniently close by in Napili and Kapalua. This area is much less crowded and more low-key than places farther down the coast. We had an excellent, relaxing time and will definitely stay here again whenever we get the chance. ”

Prepare for a busy beach with lots of people... not a secluded beach by any means. It's surrounded by condos. This condo was in excellent condition, clean, comfortable bed with all the amenities you could ever need. Sunsets were stunning. Apparently a good breakfast spot 100 yards to our left on the water, but we did most eating at the condo. We did eat at the restaurant at the north end of the beach and had an excellent late lunch with several delicious appetizers and drinks at happy hour prices. ”

“ We chose Napili Bay Resort based on Frommer's recommendation and the Napili Bay Resort website, but were a little concerned that the condo would really be as good as both made it sound. It was! Frommer said the studio condo was small; We felt we had plenty of room. The kitchen was modern and very well-equipped (we cooked most of our meals), and the king-size bed was very comfortable. We were glad to have both the laundry and barbeque facilities. And to have our own beautiful beach right outside our lanai was very convenient and delightful. The only drawback was the noise from the ocean--it was constant, and did keep us awake at night until we (sort of) got used to it. I think reviews of the condo should mention this for people who are sensitive to noise. ”

“ We knew we were in for a treat just coming to Maui and were especially ecstatic knowing we were staying in Lahaina area. We have stayed in Napili Bay a few times before so was very much looking forward to its laid back pace that can only be labeled as "island style." On this trip, we were coming in from Oahu where we were there for 2 "tourista" whirlwind days so were very much looking forward to some bumming and soaking in Maui's natural beauty. All our expectations and then some were met at our condo. We were beyond pleased when we stepped into our actual condo and were welcomed by a basket of goodies (even had Cookkwees), breezy spaciousness (for twirling happily), fully equipped kitchenette (for preparing yummy local eats), comfy furniture (for pure getting really good sleep, and lounging with Maui onion chips and cold beer), cleanliness (very important), and overall, good style/design (island themed, and elegant). We enjoyed watching some Food Network/Travel Channel once we got back to our room on the flat screen TV. We also enjoyed falling asleep to the crashing waves at night right outside our windows and hanging out on the lanai in the morning watching the sunrise over the water. We enjoyed the 30 second walk (it really is a 30 second walk!) from our condo to the beach. The beach itself was very scenic and romantic, with tidepools and awesome black lava rock formations to the south, Molaka'i west, and to the north, more peaceful resorts (Kapalua is also very close). The condo also provides body boards, snorkel gear, beach chairs, and an umbrella, all in fair condition. We enjoyed the location also. It's a 2 minute walk to eat at The Gazebo restaurant. A 3 minute walk to snorkel with tons of honus (my favorite part) as well as other colorful fish! A 15 minute drive to Front Street where all the shops/restaurants are located. We really can't wait to come back soon to this unit. Maybe in the spring so we can see the whales from the lanai...:) ”

The beach is one of the best on the coast, with great swimming and snorkeling. Listening to the ocean waves each evening is awesome too! While relaxing on the Lanai we saw brilliant rainbows stretching from Maui to Molokai, gorgeous sunsets, whales breaching off shore, and giant sea turtles bobbing in the waves. We highly recommend this condo as the perfect place to stay in paradise. Mahalo. ”

The grounds were well maintained and the staff we encountered were very pleasant. The barbecue area was very clean and convenient to use. The sunset dinners from our lanai were better and more relaxing than we had in any restaurant. Napili Bay is a beautiful beach but the surf was high the first 5 days we were there so swimming wasn't great although there were plenty of people who didn't seem to mind the big waves. The beach is very active in the day but as soon as it gets dark everything quiets down. I must admit the surf is very loud. It took us a few days to get used to it but we both grew up around the ocean and we love the sound. There is a general store just down the road with all kinds of supplies and there are restaurants within walking distance. A shopping plaza with a grocery store is also very close by. Parking was never a problem at the condo. Kapalua Bay is within walking distance and is somewhat calmer for beginner snorkeler's. We definitely enjoyed staying in the condo more than our 3 nights at a fancy resort. It was so much more relaxing and you have all the comforts of home there as well. ”

The beach is a leap away, snorkeling is good, turtles frequent the rocks / coral to the right, and there's even a great little restaurant/bar walking distance up the beach in a neighboring condo that made the whole bay a treasure. The condo had all amenities of home that we needed-- we cooked a lot and the kitchen was stacked with all the right things... cookware, spices, towels, and a dishwasher. #106 was extraordinarily clean, and felt cozy from the walk-in.

In fact, Napili Bay was so wonderful, I have a picture of the view from the room as my screensaver. Napili Bay is in a quiet area, with easy access to the rest of Maui. The beach is imaculate and gently slopes to the ocean. There is a beautiful shade tree right outside your door and it doesn't get too crowded because it is in sort of a cove. We were there for our 25th anniversary and found it perfect for our needs. The unit was quite clean, the bed very comfortable, and the tiled bath was great. Everything was modern with a wonderful, fully equipped kitchen. I prepared several evening meals and breakfast every day, which helped maintain our leisurely pace. It was truly magical to fall asleep every night to the sound of crashing waves just 50 yards away. We were there in June and it was perfectly lovely, no air conditioning was necessary. The view from this room is spectacular and we saw several rainbows after early morning showers. It's just a short ride to some great snorkeling and all the other attractions and about 15 minutes from the hustle and bustle of Laihaina. My son plans to honeymoon in Maui next year and I will definitely recommend Napili Bay! ”

There were plenty of towels and supplies stocked within the condo...never ran out. The beach was fantastic. After touring around the island and checking out different beaches we were the most pleased with Napili Bay. Perfect white sand and nice calm water. There was an awesome tree right on the beach and it provided us with shade when needed. We saw lots of turtles and even a monk seal on the beach one day!

“ Cozy Unit 109 suited us perfectly with its easy access to Napili Bay. Although small, it's designed well to accomodate a leisurely vacation lifestyle. (The multiple clothes hooks were great!) It's well-equipped for cooking indoors and out, with a great BBQ area. We enjoyed the location and walking to several of our favorite restaurants and our friends' home by the general store. After staying at another resort in Napili for years and not being pleased the last 2 times, this year we decided to try somewhere different on the bay. We were so happy with The Napili Bay that we're already looking forward to staying there next year for our annual trip to Maui. Aloha! ”

I should not complain, this was the best vacation in years. ”

“ My husband and I couldn't have chosen a better place to experience Maui! We toured all over the island and saw amazingly beautiful sights, but our favorite spot, when we weren't on the beach itself, was right on our lanai balcony! Breathtaking sunsets, whales breaching and blowing all around us, mesmerizing views of the surf, the everchanging scenery of Molokai,and rainbows almost daily - this was all ours to enjoy at Napili Bsy Resort condo 109. It was perfect! Everything, from the basket of goodies from the owners, to the cozy, very clean, airy island-feel decor, made us feel relaxed and comfortable. We especially liked the beach equipment - beach chairs, umbrella, towels, body boards - we were all set! And the kitchen had everything we needed to fix whatever meals we wanted. We loved waking up in the morning to the sound of the surf and the view of the bay - right from our bed. The only negative were some tiny beach ants, but they didn't seem to bother with us. Chuck with aloha Condos gave us great service via his instructions and directions. A pleasure to deal with! Other people staying at the resort were friendly and easy to have as "neighbors." The Resort is nestled in Napili Bay, along with a few other low-rise condos, so there is a nice island feel. Also, the Resort is conveniently located near the Gazebo Restaurant - fabulous breakfast! - and near the Sea House Restaurtant - wonderful ambiance & delicious seafood! Both can be accessed by a short walk on the beach. Wonderful! Also, Napili Market and a few other restaurants are just a quick drive away. Very convenient! We hope to return to Napili Bay Resort Condo 109 again... soon! Absolutely perfect! ”

I have heard some people say that there are people walking be as the gate to the beach is next to 109 well the lanai is about 6 feet above the gate so I did not really notice it.

“ This was my first visit to Hawaii, and I split time between Napili and South Maui. The Napili area is a great mix of low impact condos along the Bay. Condo 109 is exactly as pictured on the website, well maintained, clean and bright. What can't be captured in photos are the panoramic vistas that you will enjoy from the lanai, the contented feeling of being in paradise when you step out to the beach, and the sound of waves lulling you to sleep each night. I really can't believe that someone would travel to Hawaii and then complain about the sound of the ocean? The condo is complete with Cd's with Hawaiian music to help put you in the mood, as if you needed anything more than to step out onto the lanai for a breakfast of fresh fruit - or to walk along the beach to the Gazeebo restaurant for the banana pancakes and fried rice for breakfast. Yes, fried rice made with an assortment of meats, including bacon. The weather was wonderful when I was there (middle of May). The condo has everything you could need, including cooking utensils and beach gear. Mine was a short stay, so I didn't bother to cook. The beach and bay were used by snorkelers, paddle boarders, and people generally walking in the surf or lounging on the beach. It was quite laid back and relaxing. I would definitely return to the Napili Bay Resort, although the memories will last forever. The sunsets are mesmerizing, but the hypnotic sounds of the ocean are probably what will stick with me the longest. At this condo, you will hear those sounds all day (and night). Wonderful. ”

“ We were really pleased with our time at Napili Bay Resort. It was easy to find, it couldn't be more close to the water, and from what we saw Napili Bay was by far one of the better beaches to be at. The only reason it got 4 stars instead of 5 is that the condo itself, while clean and tidy and complete with everything you need, was in need of a bit of updating. We probably wouldn't have noticed if friends hadn't rented another a few doors down which had been renovated more recently. ”

“ We recently stayed in condo 109 and it was absolutely perfect for us! The beach was literally steps from our door. We went to sleep by the sounds of the ocean... Our visit was in March, so we saw many whales breach in the distance right from our balcony. Everyday we saw turtles. The unit was exactly what we expected, a little outdated in terms of decor, but kept up very nicely and all around a great space for two people. The kitchen was a definite bonus, which had everything we'd need to be comfortable. There were a few ants here and there, but being on an island, that goes hand in hand. The beach amenities were fantastic and were used often. We did not have items like shampoo in the unit, but it was not a big deal as the Napili Market was right around the corner. Location wise - very convenient and easy to venture around. There's a great General Store just around the bend (easy walking distance) that has great organic fruits and vegetables daily. The Gazebo is next door (to the condos) and has the best breakfast. There is nice variety of places to eat within a few minutes of the condo, Maui Brewing Co is about 5 mins away and has great beer/food and if looking for more of a variety to choose from - Lahaina is just a few minutes away. Overall, we had the best time! Chuck and his team were a pleasure to communicate with. We will highly recommend! ”

When we aren't on the beach, we "lanai surf" - sit on the lanai and watch the ocean, whales, turtles and palms. The unit is on the first level - only a few steps down to the beach through a locked gate entrance providing security for condo residents. The resort provides a separate laundry area and grills a few steps away. The landscaping and maintenance of the condos are immaculate, provided by a wonderful onsite caretaker. This is our escape to paradise. ”

Unit 109 was perfect for us. We loved the way the outside deck had been raised up a bit so we could see over the rail while we sat outside to eat our dinner. The furnishings were great, and the shower was lovely. The kitchen was fully stocked with supplies, and had all the modern appliances. We thoroughly enjoyed our week away from the Canadian winter.

wamaui from Tacoma, WA on 04/18/2009 said:
“ We stayed for the first part of our visit on the second floor, in a room we loved, then moved to 109 due to booking availability. The biggest problem we had with the room was that the bed was incredibly uncomfortable, very hard with springs digging into our backs. We contacted the property manager and condo association president. We let them know of the issue and asked what could be done to help the situation. We offered several solutions, such as an air mattress, changing rooms to a garden view (109 is an ocean view room)and asked to be able to contact the owners. When I was making the arrangements, I was under the impression I had been speaking with the condo owner, but when the problem arose, we discovered he was simply a property manager and very rude to us. Other issues were the screens are not the correct size so the edges gap and allows bugs into the room, the shower seems to be connected to the outside hose/shower/foot rinse area as the shower did not maintain proper temp, ranging from very hot to very cold within seconds, exposed wires, no batteries in the smoke detector, cabinets and drawers falling off hinges. Very poorly maintained room. Not a very private location either. We loved the other room we stayed in, room 207. When the issue was not resolved, we left the next day after moving in and stayed next door at the Napili Surf, which is a wonderful location with the best, most friedly staff we have ever met. ”
Manager response:
“ We do acknowledge that the queen bed in the condo has a firm mattress and box spring. We personally tend to prefer a firm mattress; however our current plans include the purchase of a new king size bed with pillow top that will likely be preferred by a greater number of guests. Our most recent purchase was the new sectional sofa and I hope you found it to your liking. We do routinely upgrade the furnishings in the unit.
The louvered windows on the beachfront are original to the building construction. The screens have been replaced and are held in place with small metal retainers. If a retaining clip was loose, the screen could have been pulled away from the frame and only needed to be clipped back in place. Our recent inspection of the windows did not reveal any improperly sized screens.
The beachfront shower and the large ceramic tiled glass-enclosed corner shower unit in the condo have entirely separate water supplies. The very large capacity hot water supply line for the individual units has a return loop to the water heaters, so that hot water is always available within a very few seconds after turning on the valve. A faulty shower mixing valve could conceivably cause the problem you describe. The valve has been checked and found to be working properly.
No exposed wiring was found, unless your reference is to some of the low voltage lighting in the upper part of the display cabinetry. A loose and improperly fastened drawer front on the bathroom vanity base has been fully repaired.
A missing smoke alarm battery is inexcusable under any circumstances. A new battery has been installed and the alarm is now in working order. As Napili Bay owners we are very concerned about fire safety and we do not allow smoking or candles inside of our condo. The entire property is currently being retrofitted with an automatic fire sprinkler system that is above and beyond code requirement for this property.
Aloha,

The unit was adequate and we liked having a kitchen which had everything we needed for our occasional meals in. We used the boogie boards which were provided in the room.

We got some rather loud folks above us and the floors don't hide normal walking noises at all. But it drives you outside to the beach, which isn't bad at all. Recommended to stay here. ”

“ This place is truly beachfront. The sound of the waves is terrific to sleep to. Accomodations are clean and very comfortable. Do not under rate the convenience of having your own kitchen and the money that it will save. Our home away from home-truly ”

“ The owners take great pride in their condo and it shows. We truly had all the comforts of home right there, the kitchen and bath was beautifully done. Kitchen had a built in dishwasher, did not expect that and the bed was so comfortable, slept great everynight. Leland, the on site manager really made us feel welcome there, he would make a point to smile and wave everytime he saw us. We will make this our place to stay when we come to Maui for now on! ”

“ We really enjoyed our New Years stay in unit 211. It was in a wonderful location, right on the beach, and walking distance to some very nice restaurants. The unit is beautiful, clean, and updated. You can watch the sunset from the lanai. Our shower drain became clogged, but the maintenance people took care of it as soon as we called for help. The beach in Napili Bay is beautiful, we loved it and would go back any time. ”

sunblock,40 from West Vancouver on 01/01/2013 said:
“ Despite the clouds that can often cover this end of the island (and which did for my first three days), I still prefer Napili Bay to other areas on Maui. I especially love the well-kept units at the Napili Bay Resort for their proximity to the beach and because the complex is small. The only reason this review isn't getting five stars is because of the two screaming nonstop crying brats that were staying directly below me. This being a woodframe building means that sound carries and if you're on the bottom level, or, if you have noisy neighbours like I did, it can really ruin a great holiday. Or at least reduce great to good. Thankfully I've stayed here before and knew to take ear plugs. ”

“ Married on Maui 10 years ago and decided to return for our anniversay. This trip we wanted to relax and enjoy the beach and each other. We could not have stayed at a better location. The condo is as nice as any we saw in the complex. It is as advertised. It was very quiet and romantic. The view is amazing and more private than directly on the beach front. Napili bay is beautiful and slow paced. We did not cook in the condo but it had everything you would need. We woke every morning with the birds singing, made coffee and walked directly to the beach and watched the turtles on the rocks and the sun rise. Then breakfast at the Gazebo and the rest of the day on the beach and snorkeling with the turtles until sunset. There were many nice places to dine and we did not find a bad one. The mai tai at Merriman's point bar is amazing as is the view at sunset. Easy drive to Lahina for shopping, and dinning etc..We had the opportunity to survive a tsunami while on Maui! It turned out to be very small and uneventful but we spent most of one night sitting outside the west Maui airport with several thousand other people that were caught on the highway when the warning was issued. Kudos to Maui law enforcement and emergency services. They were very impressive. Great condo, great beach, romantic. We are already planning our return trip to Maui and can't wait to stay at Napili Bay 211 again. ”

“ The room was all that was advertised and much more. Perfect location with an outstanding view of the beach. The kitchen was very nicely appointed and contained everything one could possibly need. Having tropical birds coming by and landing on the deck every morning and evening was a nice touch. ”

“ I can't say enough about our experience in this condo. It is obvious the owners love their home and have created a beautiful space for others to enjoy. I loved the renos. The appliances are all high end and their kitchen was loaded with everything we needed. We enjoyed hours of delight watching the birds and seeing he waves crash on the shore from their lovely and oh so comfortable Lanai. The view is inspiring--a serene and quiet setting. The resort itself is quiet and extremely well kept. The ease from your home (for that's what it feels like) to the gorgeous Napili Bay beach is wonderful. And nearby, also Kapalua Bay and more breathtaking beaches and sights. We didn't want to leave after two solid weeks. Thanks to the owners and we'll be back!! Two things to work on: no tea pot and the sheets could be much softer. The bed itself was very comfortable. ”

Idyllic Napili Bay

Anniversary Tranquility from Roseburg, OR on 09/19/2011 said:
“ We enjoyed five wonderful, restful days at Napili Bay for our 25th anniversary. Everything was as described; no need to contact anyone for assistance. The condo interior is lovely, comfortable, and functional. We enjoyed the lanai for our own breakfast and sunset views, listening to the peaceful sound of the surf. Early morning Napili Bay was essentially private for walking and swimming, same in the evening when the lights shimmer on the waves. It's a favored destination in the daytime, but even so was pleasant the day we put out chairs and umbrella and spent many quiet hours between surf and book. A pleasant 20-minute walk took us to Honolua Store for inexpensive meals and amazing views over Kapalua; near the store is the exceptional Sunday morning Kapulani church at the golf cart barn, overlooking the Pga-event course. We would have been happier without the rowdy neighbors late one night; the somewhat-shabby stairs and outer corridor carpet was completely overshadowed by the beatifully-kept grounds and excellent condo interior remodel. We loved exploring along the secluded beaches and fascinatng 'blow-hole' up north, and down to the quaint shops and giant banyan tree of Lahaina. Highly recommended. ”

“ Napili Bay 211 was great. Location is amazing. This was our first time not in an oceanfront condo and you could still hear the water at night, just lovely. The condo has recently been remodeled and the appointments are great, including an excellent shower. A bigger cooler would have been nice, thankfully my parents were in 209 which had a great cooler. Otherwise, everything we needed, towels, chairs, boards, etc. ”

“ Loved all the beautiful work that added good functionality to a small space! Although aloha Condos clearly states that the units are for two people, some other rental units not affiliated with aloha Condos do allow multiple people to occupy the units so it was not as quite as expected. Luckily that only occurred during the last couple of days of our stay - when both the unit to the right and one below us got very noisy with multiple couples and children, so it was something of a letdown for us. ”
Manager response:
“ Aloha to our guest,
As far as the few units that allow 3 or 4 , that is up to them. They are out side of Aloha Condos. If it gets extra noisy from them we have
an on-sight resident manager that would take care of any problems like that.

“ This is my second stay at unit 211 and it does not disapoint! From the moment you walk in the studio and hear the ocean waves and smell the breeze it is paradise. My wife and i love the updated kitchen and ate many breakfasts and dinners out on the beautiful balcony overlooking the ocean. The beach is terrific and not as busy or packed as some of the other "popular" beaches. The only reason I do not give a complete 5 stars on comfort is the bed is a little firm for my spouse and myself, but that would not prevent me from booking again! Great vacation! ”

“ We loved our condo #211. Well equipped and maintained, felt homey and we loved to sit out on the balcony to watch sunset. The condo is beachview which suited us well. Beachfront would have been too noisy during the day. Just a few steps to the beach...awesome. Loved the west coast. Beautiful Napili beach to swim, snorkel, walk and have sundowners. Would definitley come back there. ”

Our Favorite Spot in Maui

“ We have stayed at Napili Bay Resort twice. Once in 2004 in unit 212 and again in 2010 in unit 211. What a great place to stay. We absolutely love it there. The beach is perfect and somewhat private. Snorkeling at this beach is ok and there are many sea turtles about especially near 4-5 PM. This is also a great spot close to Honolu'a Bay (it is about a 10 minute drive away) which I think is the best snorkeling in Maui (Personally we like it there better than the Molokini Crater). In particular, unit 211 has been recently re-done and everything looked great. The kitchen is well stocked with all pots and pans and other utensils needed for cooking and there is a convenient grocery store just around the corner. There is a great view of the ocean from the patio and since it isn't sitting directly over the beach, it stays a bit more quiet in this unit (which we really enjoyed). We'll likely be back again in a few more years! ”
