I am so thrilled that my partner and I booked this gorgeous studio condo for our honeymoon trip to Maui. As a realtor myself on a vacation destination Island in
Florida, I am rather picky and look at the photographs and reviews when I go places. The photographs for this gorgeous updated condo in an incredible location drew me to this place over and over again when I was looking on VRBO. It was also the reason ultimately that we selected it. The condition of the room and the location. Both were right on point! While this is a older complex and not as fancy as those on kapalua or elsewhere . It was perfect! The view was to die for And we actually were able to snorkel and find more turtles and photography opportunities underwater at this bay right outside of our door then any other places we snorkeled on the island
! Just a lovely place done very well and made very comfortable by the owner. We would definitely recommend that to anyone wanting to go to Maui!

Location was perfect for us, nice balance of privacy and access to beach, restaurants in walking distance, shopping a short drive. Very responsive staff on-site and remote. Maddie at MPS was great with some concerns we had. Definitely on our list of places to stay when we return to Maui.

Nāpili is one of our favorite places to stay, and this condo is in an excellent location. It is fully renovated and beautifully designed. I would highly recommend this unit, and we will definitely book again! Thank you for sharing your lovely place with us ; )

We loved our stay in this unit and will hopefully be back! It was perfect for two of us. Plenty of space, had everything we needed, and a great location with easy access to the beach. AND the million dollar view!!! Our only small gripe would be that the complex put cheap plastic netting across the lanai railings (every 2nd floor unit in our building had it) that kind of ruined the view/ambience. If you're seated or looking at the water from bed, you have to look through the thick netting.
We hope to stay in this unit every year when we come back!

We stayed for two weeks in this lovely condo and didn't want to leave. The location was perfect. The furnishings were comfortable and the unit was stocked to allow us to cook in or grill out. There is a 5 minute walk to the beach. We highly recommend this property.

Negatives- poor ocean view. Patio not large enough to eat on. There was no supplies for eating at the condo. It was like living with a bachelor that eats out for every meal. The living room furniture was dated and old smelling.
Positives- great bathroom and bedroom.

Napili Shores is a very nice, family friendly complex. We were on the second floor with an awesome ocean view. Very comfortable bed in the bedroom and fairly comfortable sofa bed in the living room. My only note is that the unit didn’t have shampoo and also no hair dryer. But other than that, we had a great time.

An absolutely stunning condo to stay in. We spent the first three days of our honeymoon in Napili and this rental had everything. It was walkable to dining. Easy to get in and out with our car and had everything we needed. It’s right next to a beautiful beach cove that we could snorkel and relax in beach chairs. It was quiet and we heard virtually no noise. The bed was comfortable and the place was very clean. Hope we can find ourselves back in Maui and we would rent this condo again. 11 out of 10

Napili Bay is my favorite place on Maui!
From the white sandy beach to the quiet old Haawaii feel, Napili Shores is a great place to stay.

This was our second stay in a condo at Napili Shores, and it is a wonderful place to stay. Great location, beach, snorkeling, friendly people. The owners had boogie boards, chairs, a hard cooler, and an umbrella so we didn’t have to rent anything but a snorkel and fins. Would definitely stay there again.

This is our second time at Napili Shores and it certainly won’t be the last. It is very family friendly, with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Great restaurants on site. It’s also a very short walk to a lovely beach and an exceptional snorkel spot.

My husband and I greatly enjoyed our 2 week stay and would return in a heartbeat! The location can't be beat and is walkable to the best beaches and snorkeling in Maui. The bed was comfortable and the unit layout worked well for us. Loved having the balcony and the vaulted ceilings gave such a nice feel to the space. Napili Shores is a great little condo community and has the low-key, relaxed Hawaiian feel that we like. Two swimming pools and a hot tub to enjoy after you have been at the beach all day. Cheers to Evelyn for being a responsive host and working to make sure our stay was fabulous!

Property was beautiful on the shores of Napili bay. Amenities are basic but well maintained. This property has a quaint feel of old Hawaii without high rise resorts. The unit itself was nice, updated, clean and had 2 boogie boards and beach chairs and umbrella for use.

My husband and I loved our week at the Nāpili Shores. So relaxing! The studio was perfect. It was clean and comfortable, and the views overlooking the Nāpili Bay are spectacular. We really enjoyed visiting The Fish Market and picking up fresh fish for the grill to enjoy on the lovely balcony.
We hope to return! Malhalo Elaine and Kim!

This condo had everything we needed to enjoy Napili Bay! Stunning views and easy to walk down to the beach. The pool was nice, but we mostly went to the beach. We appreciated the beach chairs and umbrella to use. If you need extra beach supplies, you can easily rent at the rental place on site. Restaurant by the pool had long lines, but you can order "to go" around the back. Our 10 & 13 year old kids slept on the pull out couch and futon in the living room, adults slept in the bedroom. Bed was comfortable and nice bedding. Highly recommend!

Our favorite part of Evelyn’s place was being able to walk down to Nāpili Bay with ease, no matter the time of day. The place had everything we needed from breach chairs and an umbrella to extra towels, coffee filters and salt and pepper. The A/C worked great along with all the appliances. We will definitely be back for a stay in the future!

Nāpili Shores is a great location. We have stayed there six times. Long drive to the east and southern parts of the island however. Quieter area since Lahaina fires/closure. Unit was fine and as advertised but no pots or pans was inconvenient.

Excellent location. While there is no view as it is near the pool, it is a good value for being so close to Napili Beach. Nicely decorated with new kitchen and bathroom. Randy was very responsive - the blender didn't work and the next morning, we had a new one.

This was my family’s first trip to Maui. We had high expectations for this condo since the previous reviews were favorable and it seemed to have what we were looking for. Unfortunately, it was just an ok experience, not great. Check in & communication were better than the condo itself. It was clean, however the necessary beach equipment (chairs & umbrella) were very old which did not allow for an enjoyable experience and was embarrassing to carry around. The chairs had torn & weathered fabric, rusted hinges, broken zippers & straps. The umbrella worked, but was pretty small and old. I misunderstood the unit description and thought it had a washer and dryer in the unit. It is a communal laundry room. Since you are only given 4 beach towels, you have to spend your vacation time in the laundry room. This is not ideal so we used gross dirty beach towels all week. More towels & hooks to use would have been nice. The AC worked well, however the living room unit was noisy from time to time during the night. The condo is near the community trash bins. It is convenient, but you can hear the trash trucks beeping early. A bus stop is also close by. Again, it’s convenient, but you can hear the bus stop noises early in the morning. I’m a light sleeper, maybe this wouldn’t bother most people. The beds were comfortable & big enough. The kitchen had everything we needed. The shower water temperature was too low. It was more like taking a warm shower, but not hot.

We had a relaxing stay at this VRBO rental, thanks to its prime location and stunning views of the sunsets, which were truly unforgettable. The check-in process was smooth, and the Napili Shores resort beautifully captures the essence of old Hawaii. However, the unit itself could use some attention: the bathroom had stains on the walls and floor and needed a paint touch-up, and while the shower was clean, it appeared to be original. The closet was cluttered with items, the bed seemed smaller than a queen, and the beach chairs were very damaged. We ended up renting a larger umbrella from the resort store since the provided ones were small and only attached to the beach chairs and did not provide needed shade. Additionally, the WiFi was spotty, requiring frequent resets, and the cable TV went out a few times, necessitating calls to the cable company. Despite these minor inconveniences, the incredible location and view made our stay worthwhile.

Note to owner : went to use umbrella at beach and when taken out of sack someone had put it back broken -

Excellent base for your trip.
Best features:
AC - we can't sleep if it's too hot and it's nice to have a less humid retreat once or twice during the day.
There are two AC units in this condo and both work very well. You can actually make this place too cold.
Comfortable bed - The bed is quite comfortable and has a selection of 4 pillows. I usually travel with my pillow because I'm a terrible sleeper but I forgot it and still managed to get a decent sleep with theirs. Our son slept well on the pull out sofa with one of the four supplied pillows.
Other than that there are some bonuses to this unit and location:
Napili bay is right down the path and is a fantastic beach with great snorkeling or surfing/boogie boarding depending on conditions.
Kapalua bay is about a 7-8 minute walk down the beach and through Napili Kai resort. Kapalua is a fantastic snorkeling bay even if Napili is a bit wavy. We even went diving here when the surf on most of the west side was too wavy for entry.
Honolua bay - one of the best snorkeling bay's on Maui is a short drive North. There's only a handful of properties closer.
The Gazebo breakfast restaurant on site is one of the best breakfasts you can get on Maui and it's right there! You can see the lineup from the balcony which will tell you when to get your butt moving.
Downside:
It's a bit of a drive to the airport area or Ma'alea harbor/Kihei. If most of your activities are booked there I might look for a closer property.
Overall A+

Condo was very clean and comfortable, kitchen had everything you could ever need, location was excellent, bed was very very comfortable, the only negatives were the noise level in bedroom is like being on the street, as the slat windows are as if your outside, bring a sound machine it worked wonders, closet was unusable due to a large rolled up carpet and vacuum, overall there was everything you could possibly need, grounds were beautifully kept, pools very clean, easy walk to beach, the Gazebo restaurant is excellent!!

We enjoyed our stay here. The unit looked just like the pictures. It's nicely remodeled and the location has a wonderful view of Napili Bay. The sound of waves crashing on the shore reef and the distinct song of myna birds make you feel connected to the charm of Maui. I prefer the two-story vacation condos of Napili Shores versus the fancy high-rise hotels of other resort areas.

The condo is shore front so the sound of breaking surf is constant and wonderful. The sunsets were fantastic every evening. We snorkeled every day and the west side has many excellent spots to see undersea life. The condo has all the utensils to make food. We had everything we needed. The bed was soft for our comfort but not a dealbreaker. We’d come back for sure.

We absolutely love the Napili area. This is our 2nd stay in this unit and our host Evelyn has recently renovated the unit. It's lovely and very comfortable. It is well stocked with everything you'll need for your stay. We will certainly be returning next year. The big plus is having 2 restaurants on property. The Gazebo does breakfast and lunch and Kitchen 5315 is open for lunch and dinner.
