Comfortable condo with everything you need. Friendly family oriented property. Great pool, hot tub and beautiful grounds. Easy access to the nicest beach in the area. Wonderful breakfasts at the Gazebo.

Enjoyed my much needed vacation to Maui. This property was amazing. Right by the beach and so comfortable. I’d highly recommend this VRBO to any people looking for a place to stay. Would certainly rebook again next time.

This property is wonderful because of its location. Just steps to the beach or pool! The unit is nice, but could use a few upgrades. The unit did have everything you need for your stay. We loved that the lanai went out to a grassy area for our kids to run around. We would stay again!

The condo is in a good location close to a nice snorkeling beach, restaurants and walking paths. The bed was comfortable. The pool area was lovely and the views fabulous. The unit is small but was fine for two of us. The unit does exhibit some wear and tear and some maintenance issues. For example, the living room thermostat battery was dead so we couldn't turn on the AC in that space. I contacted the management company but no one responded. It wasn't a big deal because we just used the bedroom AC at night. Other issues were a toilet handle that stuck in the down position so that the toilet would continue to run unless you remembered to push the handle up, surface light out above the stove, etc. Nothing that the management company can't address easily.

3rd time we have stayed at Napoli Shores. This condo was the best one yet. We cook in a lot and it had everything I needed. Love the large TV as we had to watch the 49ers while we were there. Saw whales !

The location overlooking the gazebo and the ocean was perfect. The condo itself is well appointed and nicely updated. Only good things to say. Thank you!

This unit was just perfect in so many ways. While a studio, it was roomy and beautifully outfitted. Nothing like sleeping with the sound of the surf and the views are truly magnificent. We ate breakfast and dinner on the balcony, watched turtles in the water just in front of us, and spotted a whale breaching while we were on the beach. The linens and towels were all high quality, and the kitchen well stocked with basic spices and coffee/tea, etc. We appreciated the use of the beach chairs and boogie boards. The condo grounds were lovely and we enjoyed the hot tub and pool as well as the company of other guests. Can’t imagine a better spot to enjoy Maui.

This is my third stay here. As always it was delightful. IMHO this is a perfect spot for a relaxing vacation with lots of outdoor activities close at hand.

We were very happy with our stay in this unit and would absolutely stay there again. The unit was exactly as described and very well stocked with kitchen essentials and beach gear. Napili is a gem on the island, and while the surf can get bigger during north swells in the winter, there is always a calm part of the bay for swimming, and the sunsets are still perfect. The kitchen was very well stocked, including the sharpest knives I've seen at a vacation rental and even a Ninja blender which is a serious upgrade when you make smoothies everyday! They officially include two beach chairs, beach towels and very small cooler, but when we were there there were 6 Tommy Bahama beach chairs total, 3 sets of fins (smaller sizes 7-8), a snorkel mask, a boogie board, and a bag of sand toys which were a hit with our kids. Being a ground floor unit, everything felt like it was at your fingertips - we really enjoyed the ocean view from the lanai and the short walk across the lawn to the beach, tide pools,swimming pools, or BBQ areas. At least one breakfast at the Gazebo is a must, but be ready to wait in line for a bit. My Perfect Stays was very communicative and when the microwave in the unit stopped working, they were there within a couple hours of our call with a replacement. The only downside is that the bedroom windows let all the noise from the adjacent parking lot in all night - whether the 4am garbage truck, the 5am Hana bound travelers, or the folks getting home at 12am.

This unit is nicely decorated, the bed was super comfortable and communication to ease arrival was very good. Perfect for a couple. We enjoyed our stay very much. We did some cooking and would have liked some hot pads/mitts but otherwise well supplied.

Wonderful host. She was quick with communication and very generous. I was there to assist in the Lahaina wildfire recovery and she showed her efforts towards the cause by offering reduced rates. The unit has all you need for a pleasant stay. Great hot tub and pools on the property. Close to several amazing eateries and the ever-charming Napili market.

We LOVED our stay at this Napili Bay property! My family of 4 were very comfortable. Plenty of space. The condo has a great lay out, nice furnishings, full kitchen with everything we needed and even had beach supplies (chairs,umbrella,cooler). The kind sized bed is VERY comfortable and with the AC in the room we slept great! The condo is right by the upper pool which was great with the kids. There is a second pool right out by the ocean but it is definitely cooler and can get windier so we stuck with the pool by the room. Laundry facilities were great (they take Credit cards/Apple Pay so no looking for change!). We didn’t try the upper restaurant but we did try The Gazebo which was great for breakfast. You have to get there early though. There is also a pathway that leads to the walkway down to Napili which is one of our favorite beaches in Maui. Overall this was a wonderful rental and we will definitely return! We love Maui!

We were very happy with our stay at Napili Shores. Bed and pillows were so comfy. Love white linens too. Newly renovated, which was so nice. Everything was easy to find. We would have liked to have a few spices: salt and pepper for sure. Wonderful to have the use of beach chairs, but they are looking a little worn.

We Love Napili Shores and this unit in the A block was stunning. Newly decorated and remodeled with a perfect view of Napili beach. Check-in was smooth with no issues. Host was very quick to respond. And for all those digging through reviews for tidbits of information about the unit, the bed was soooooo comfy and despite other reviews of the A block units there was no noise from the shuffleboard court or Gazebo restaurant - or any other surrounding units. If you like the sounds of the ocean to lull you to sleep then this is the place for you.

The unit is clean and very spacious for a studio. Right on the water with a perfect lanai for eating or having morning mimosas. (We spent lot of time enjoying the view from the lanai) Sue was very attentive and ensured day 2 that everything was to our liking. I will definitely stay here again. Added bonus of being near the pool but not too close. Having the Gazebo restaurant right next door. And the restaurant at Napili Shores is great, especially the added tiki bar.

We really enjoyed our stay at this condo. Napili Shores is a small, friendly resort. A short walk puts you on Napili beach - which is fantastic for swimming, snorkelling etc. If you want to walk further, it's easy to connect to the Kapalua ocean trail. The condo is clean, comfortable and well equipped. We didn't need much AC, but it worked well when needed. Randy was fantastic - very responsive and helpful.

I have stayed at many vrbos in many states.including maui.when traveling to maui, napili one would expect the rental to include snorkel gear, beach gear,ice chests,fishing gear, this unit had none.I bought a ice chest and left it in the unit when i checked out.also the coffee maker is antiquated garbage it takes ten minutes to make coffee.get a decent coffee pot.plus i stayed nine days.and was only given two trash bags.2. this is not enough for even one person for more than a week.stop being so cheap and supply trash bags. also the tv.the wi fi, and sat is old.no one uses sat.get a smart tv that runs off wi fi and ditch the sat. over all a pretty dis appointing place to rent.update and get with the vrbo program.

This little studio is perfect for two people. It is thoughtfully stocked with all the things one would wish for during a beach vacation. The location is really ideal too - close to many great beaches and shops. Grocery store is close also. This unit isn't close enough to see or hear the ocean but it is a short walk - not even a minute to get to the water. Would happily stay again if we make it back to Maui.

As frequent visitors to Maui, we always seek new experiences, and this condo in the Napili area was a delightful discovery. The comfort of the one-bedroom accommodation, along with two sleeper sofas in the living room, provided the perfect setting for our small family. What truly captivated us was the stunning view of Napili Bay, a scenic backdrop for our morning coffee and a constant reminder of the island’s beauty. The proximity to the Gazebo Restaurant, known for its fantastic breakfasts, added a special flavor to our stay. The easy access to Napili Bay Beach, a haven for boogie boarding, made our vacation especially enjoyable for the kids. Despite encountering a few minor issues, the host’s prompt and efficient resolution ensured our stay was seamless and enjoyable. Amazing location for a family stay!

We arrived later in the evening but found the apartment easily. We had the code which made everyting go smoothly. The apartment was very clean and the patio has a beautiful view of the bay. There was also easy access to the beach and parking. There was a grocery store nearby as well as a rental shop for snorkling. We were able to walk right out to the bay and swim around, there were even a few sea turtles hanging out. The apartment had beach chairs for our use and the kitchen was well equipped. The Gazebo restaurant near the pool had some of the best food around and always had a line going out the door! Overall we had a great stay and would recommend!
