Great little spot!

When I decided to spend an August 2024 week in West Maui, a revisit since my last 9 years ago, my objective was a cozy & quiet condo where I could leisurely spend my days anytime at Napili Bay or Kapalua Bay beaches without having to fight for parking spot, and I found it perfectly at Napili Bay Resort #216. The studio condo is nicely furnished together with well-equipped kitchen and full-size refrigerator, offering enjoyable stay for a single or couple, with option to cook in, take out to eat in, or dine out (2 walking-distance breakfast/lunch restaurants and others within 10 driving minutes). Being on 2nd floor, it provides the privacy of a back-lanai garden/tree view and a partial right-of-lanai Napili Bay ocean view (I could hear the heavy-at-times bird chirping in the morning and wave crashing in the evening). Even though without A/C, the trade wind that flowed constantly from front to back through the screen doors and windows kept me comfortable days and nights, not to mention the table and ceiling fans. Friendly and well communicating owner/manager, beach access by room key directly to Napili Bay, beach chairs and umbrella stowed in the lanai, ample parking within the resort, secured WiFi internet, streaming video service and cabled TV were among the conveniences during my stay.

Absolutely perfect, 10 feet from the beach. Comfortable and everything you could need to stay (except mask/snorkel, I get it tho). The cool ocean breeze blowing through the apartment was amazing. Waves were the constant background noise. Turtles swimming casually next to you. Remember people, this IS a public beach so it can get a bit noisy during the day from crowds but not a deterrent to stay f there

This is one of my favorite condos in the complex. Everything was perfect for a relaxing stay with not a care in the world. Best part is arriving and the not so best part is leaving no matter how long you stay. We're already talking of returning later this year or at latest next year. Kimberly is a gracious host who genuinely cares about your enjoyment.

The studio is great for a couple, there is no privacy really so you have to be ok with that. It had everything we could need and just steps to the beautiful beach. So happy to have discovered this place.

The update/remodel is very nice and comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need for cooking. The view is gorgeous and relaxing on the lanai is amazing.

This was our 2nd stay at Napili Bay and the 1st time in a beach-view unit. The beach is beautiful, not too crowded, and only a few steps away. We loved our recent stay so much that we have booked a 3-week visit for next year. There is a small mall with a grocery store a 5-minute drive away.

The location is awesome. We’ve stayed at Napoli Bay Resort a couple of times before and love what the resort has to offer, such as laundry room, grilling area, and beach. As for the condo itself, we have no problem with retro decor. We do, however, have issues with staying in a place that is falling apart. This condo is in desperate need of repairs. Both the kitchen and bathroom cabinets are delaminating. The door to the lanai is being held together with duct tape. The jamb in the front door is rotted at the bottom. We had friends staying at Napoli Point, we were a little embarrassed to have them come visit. We would recommend friends to stay at Napili Bay Resort, but just not unit 204.

This condo was my favorite stay I have ever had. If you want to lay back and enjoy the beach, this is your home.

The Good: excellent location, 1 minute to beach, balcony faces a quiet garden with a glimpse of the beach and ocean. Comfortable, well supplied, kind and responsive owner. Lovely little BBQ and picnic area, building has a friendly old-Hawaii vibe, great parking. Not so good: condo needs a reno, especially the kitchen, badly siliconed sink is a haven for bugs (Don’t leave any food on the counter). Only one ceiling fan, closet and bathroom doors are hard to open and close. No place to hang wet towels and bathing suits. No safe for money and passports. Overall, we enjoyed our week stay in this studio condo.

Couldn't ask for a better location on the Maui West Side. This unit has everything you would need but nothing matches and that is OK. Our time is spent on the beach or the Lanai. We will be back!Small restaurants, take-outs, and several grocery stores are available so you will never go hungry.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Condo, it was located close to the beach and the nearby shopping areas. The condo was clean and it has decent amenities. We would book it again if we come back to this area of Maui.

We love staying at Napili Bay Resort!
This was our fourth time staying there, and we wouldn’t stay anywhere else on Maui. It’s all about the location, best beach, best sunsets, best swimming!
I worried that w/o air conditioning, I’d be too warm, but there’s a lovely breeze blowing through, and it has everything you need.

The listing description was accurate & we loved the location. The unit had everything for our family of 4 to be comfortable. Sullivan was very helpful, professional, and had great customer service. The app they use was easy and provided good info. We loved staying here so much, we have already booked again through Sullivan.

Yes, this condo is outdated. But if you can look past that, this is a great value for the location. The photo of the beach is exactly what you get, it was amazing and is only steps away. Nice snorkeling from shore, saw several sea turtles. Water calm enough for young kids to play in. The lack of ac did not bother us at all, the front and back of the condo have louvered windows which let in plenty of breeze and there is a large fan. Pull out sleeper sofa and bed were comfortable. We walked to SeaHouse restaurant (make reservations in advance for dinner and be sure to check out their happy hour also), Kapalua Coastal Trail and Merriman's restaurant. Liked that Napili Plaza was a 3 minute drive and frequented the little grocery store there several times (best pineapple, spam musubi and coconut mochi) and ate at Maui Tacos and Joey's for dinner there. Good on site parking. Unit was clean. The sliding bathroom doors did stick something awful, we stopped using them after the first day. On site laundry (you can only do one load at a time, though) was nice, change machine on site for quarters. A couple of grills and picnic tables available, were utilized every evening by larger groups. Lots of families, not a party crowd when we were there, quiet in the evenings. Loved falling asleep to the sound of the waves. Would rent this unit again and highly recommend to others.

Great 9 days. Overall the place worked well. Kitchen, shower and TV setup was great. A little dirty and worn in places as it older. More little flying bugs inside than we would have liked but it is Maui. Screens need some work. Short walk to beach. Enjoyed the stay.

Fantastic location right on Napili Beach, and only a short walk from Kapalua beach, both of which have great snorkeling. We loved sitting on the lanai and watching the ocean. Plenty of parking, and only a short drive from the grocery store and Maui Tacos. We love the area and we’ll be back.

We've traveled to Maui for the past thirty years and always stayed at the Kapalua Golf Villas. We thought that was 'the' place to be. Then we decided to expand our horizons and stayed in Condo 216 at the Napili Bay Resort in February 2022. It was a big leap, going from a one bedroom with huge lanai to a studio.
However, after staying in Kim's condo, we will never go back to Kapalua. The studio was perfect for us, and while the lanai isn't the same size as those in Kapalua, we could sit and watch the whales and actually hear the waves in the evening; those same waves lulled us to sleep every night. Instead of walking fifty steps to reach a pool at Kapalua, we could walk fifty steps and sink our toes into the sandy shores of the beautiful Napili Bay. Staying at 216 made us feel as though we were truly in 'old Hawaii,' something you can't put a price tag on.
We've already booked time at Napili Bay 216 for 2023 and 2024.

The best thing about the condo was the location. It has a nice view and access to the beach. It was nice that it came with beach chairs and umbrella. Condo had everything you needed.. The smart tv and internet were great too. The downside is that it’s really small and there is no ac. There is a nice breeze, but if you come in the hottest months , there is no break from the heat and humidity. It says it sleeps 4 , but with the sofa bed out, you can barely walk the length of the condo. There was only two of us and it felt cramped. Host is responsive and helpful. But bottom line, I wouldn’t stay there again. You can’t change he size….. you could add an ac u it, but then they would need to fix the windows that wouldn’t even shut. Not that you could bear to have them shut in the hotter weather…

This Napili Bay unit has been remodeled beautifully.
If you are familiar with these units you know the location is awesome. We've been coming for years.
Just a couple of comments:
The floors are tile and when we checked in, appeared clean. However, after about an hour of walking barefoot the bottoms of our feet were black. The unit had a broom but no mop. I brought the questionable floor cleanliness up to the property managers. Their cleaning crew needs to do a better job.
The write up on the unit stated beach chairs, umbrella, snorkel equipment. We found 1 beach chair and 1 umbrella. The prop mgrs did provide another chair and I see that the description no longer indicates any beach equipment. INQUIRE BEFORE BOOKING
The addition of some towel hooks would be nice.

My husband and I took a 3 day trip to Maui and loved staying here. It was super clean, had everything we needed (beach chairs, towels, kitchen supplies, soap, and so much more), and a great location with being basically on the beach. Only negative I would have is no ac unit however there was a ceiling and extra fan which made it not bad especially if you are use to no ac!

My Wife Jackie and I have visited Maui nearly every year for the past 15 and Napili seems to be the spot we return to for many reasons. Among these reasons is the Napili Bay Resort and it’s laidback “island style” attitude. Condo 216’s new owner is a very nice person whose goal is to offer the best experience (or Hawaiian “DaKine” experience). Condo 216 has a partial view of Napili Bay but is only a minute walk to the sandy beach. Tommy Bahama beach chairs and umbrella are provided for your relaxation on the beach. Parking is never a worry and the bbq area is a great place to meet others from all over USA and Canada. Definitely an excellent spot for couples wishing to escape the cold weather or busy daily life while in Napili.
If you want to hang near a pool and have drinks served you, never mind!
June 2022
Unit 216 was perfect for my vacation at Napili Bay. The unit was very clean, private, quiet and comfortable. The patio has a nice view of the ocean. The bay is perfect for relaxing on the beach, snorkeling, paddle boards and boggie boards. The laundry area, BBQ area and parking were all very convenient. The walk to the beach was quick and easy. The walk to Kapaula Beach and the Kapalua Walking Trail is also very close and easy. Driving the other direction, there is beach parking available for the Kanaapali Beaches. The walkway along the beach and all the way down to the Hyatt is amazing. If you are looking for a very relaxing place to stay, this is a great location. The owners are very nice and I would recommend the Napili Bay Resort and unit 216.

Overall - very good. Unit needs a few cosmetic touch-ups. Also needs an IT specialist to go over all the various A/V cables, etc. that have accumulated over the years to see which ones are of any use. Same goes for utensil bucket by the stove. Site upkeep, parking and beech access are outstanding!

My wife and I spent 8 nights here. It’s so convenient here. We can walk out our door and through the gate to the beach. We walked to Kapalua Bay as well. It’s about a ten minute walk. It was so nice not to need to park the car to enjoy Napili Bay and Kapalua. We saw turtles and fish in both bays. This condo is an excellent value and well kept. The pictures are very accurate. We ate at the Gazebo restaurant for breakfast and its huge portions. We also enjoyed the Sea House restaurant for happy hour.
The sunsets from the lanai were gorgeous and the bed was very comfortable. It was a great 8 days.

A satisfactory stay at studio unit 216 after difficulty entering with the lockbox stored key. Keys inside worked ok during stay. No welcome package and no instructions for working the cable tv thus not able to view regular tv channels. Shower drainage not good. Plenty of beach chairs and boogey boards. Kitchen cupboards and wardrobe tired looking and could do with replacing. Bed comfortable. Local contact could not be reached on cell number provided in booking information so had to live with the shower drainage problem.

This is a great little condo with a partial ocean view of Napili Bay. Everything we needed was there to enjoy our vacation -- a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable bed and furnishings, and a lanai that, although small, was private and a great place to enjoy morning coffee and evening meals. We appreciated having beach chairs, an umbrella and boogie boards to take to the beach. The location was a big plus -- Napili Bay is just beautiful, and a great place to snorkel, swim or relax in the sun. Condo was also an excellent value.

Nice place, clean, simple, well stocked, great parking (in a difficult to park area) easy walk to the bays, and a beautiful look out to ocean from lanai that also has morning shade. On upper, second level a plus. Good for one or a couple.
Also a good weekly price in Napili area.
Would add another star if air conditioner,
tho only needed in summer.

Pros - A comfortable room with a comfortable bed close to beautiful Napili Beach.
A limited view of the beach from the lanai.
Nice to have the beach chairs to use.
Cons- Dishwasher is a hazard as it was partially installed without actually fastening it to the cabinet. The dishwasher falls forward out of the cabinet dangerous for children.
Bare minimum of kitchenware to use for any kind of cooking
Nice showerhead but minimal water coming out.
Other than that a comfortable place to stay!

I was told about Napili Bay Resort by my best friend and his wife, They have been 7 times. We couldn't of asked for a better place to stay for the week. The complex is smaller and has all of the amenity's you need, the beach is within a minute walk from your room. Our room wasn't the best, but clean and well equipped for what little time we spent in it. Would for sure go back!
