Was very hay woth tje accomodations and overall property. I was somewhat disappointed at the lack of cooperation between thenanagenent company and epic real estate. In addition, considering how many properties epic oversees, i would think you would have a little better werkend reponse to any issues. I felt ad if you were doing me a favor by responding

We had an amazing stay! The views are amazing and the area is so cute! We went to both the gazebo and kitchen 5315, which are inside the complex, both are great little spots to eat. I saw so many sea turtles on the beach and snorkeling. Would recommend this place for anyone coming to Maui!

The unit was in good condition and the kitchen was well equipped. No air conditioning in this unit. Most days the temperature was ok, but hot at night some days.

We enjoyed our stay at Napili Shores. The unit was clean and the lanai had a nice ocean view. The owner was very responsive. However, the unit itself needs some TLC. The screen door barely works, the toaster burns everything and the kitchen was lacking some items that would be useful. We also ran out of toilet paper and the front office couldn’t help and it wasn’t delivered for 8+ hours. Not a big deal but I’d rather not have to go buy my own TP while on vacation. Also, absolutely no toiletries in the unit so bring anything you need. The unit did have beach chairs, umbrella, snorkel gear, beach towels and a cooler which was nice.

THE BEST LOCATION. Garden view, but great access to beach and other resorts/restaurants. Could walk. Could have had one small child on sofa bed. Wish there was shampoo, conditioner, shower gel in big pump to avoid waste since we didn't travel with any. Grounds and pool/hot tub are kept very well manicured and flowers/grounds were beautiful. Nothing beats the snorkeling from walking distance at multiple spots.

Enjoyed the property, very close to beach. Only quibble would be kitchen needs some additional items such as spatula, salt shaker and corkscrew. Sure items get lost/taken over time. Overall great place!

Napili Shores is perfect. We couldn’t have picked a better spot to spend time with our children and grandchildren. We each rented rooms, the access to the two swimming pools was perfect and access to Napili Beach, our favorite beach in Maui, was only steps away. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed, and included complementary beach chairs and umbrellas from “Bring Me a Kayak”. By the way, they were very helpful and prompt with their deliveries and pickups. We come to Maui every year and we plan to make this our preferred destination.

I had a lovely stay at Napili Shores F245. I walked every day on the Kapalua coastal trail. Onsite staff was great as well as the iTrip staff when I accidently forgot my door code. The Gazebo restauraunt serves breakfast and lunch and another restaurant onsite for dinner was great. The condo itself was stocked with what I needed. The beachy vibe was nice. I highly recommend. This spring was a little cooler than usual and an extra blanket or throw would have been nice. Overall a wonderful stay. Too short as usual.

As a family of four, we had a lovely stay at the Napili Shores. Proximity to the beach was awesome, and the upper pool and hot tub were great. The condo unit was good, although beach equipment was lacking (e.g., no beach chairs or blankets) and extra bedding / pillows were limited. We had a great stay overall!

April 2024

We were so happy with these accommodations for our family of 4. The bed was very comfortable but makes a huge squeaking noise on one side. The fold out couch worked well for our kids. There were beach chairs and a beach umbrella to use. The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes and cutlery. Unfortunately the weather was stormy while we were there (March) but still beautiful. The resort grounds are gorgeous and well-maintained, make sure to check out the pond, pools, shuffleboard, and gardens.

Unit was very nice and the location was wonderful. Only concern was the checkin process since the entry code provided did not work and we had to get assistance from the front desk, which had closed by the time we had arrived and we had to call security to let us into the unit. The front desk is open from 9am-5pm but we were not made aware of that prior to arrival.

This property is right in Napili Shores resort. This spot overlooks the volcanic rock beach as well as the ocean where whales swim (March) and another island reveals itself in the morning. I would suggest not sleeping on the sofa bed. They need to replace it but the bed and furniture are comfy. The amenities are enough including beach gear. It is great for a couple. I cannot understate the view and the sound of the ocean.

This was the perfect spot for our little family. West Maui is so special to us and I wanted to go back to the community when it seemed ready. This was a great location adjacent to many local businesses and restaurants to support and we got the opportunity to volunteer at a food distribution center right down the road. The unit is a 1 min walk from the beach and located next to the BBQ grills and back pool/hot tub area. Early every morning the grills and pool were cleaned. The grounds are very well kept! We made a point to sit down at the Gazebo restaurant one morning just because it was so convenient! The place was very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The unit had small cockroaches which were not unexpected on the island but something we were mindful of when storing food (we cooked a lot also and the kitchen is well equipped). There were traps set up so I'm glad to see the management company attempting to abate the issue.

We stayed at Dan’s condo in Napili for 4 nights . Check in instructions were clear and simple. The unit was a decent size for 2 adults and 1 child. Proximity to the beach was great. A quick 2 min walk. The beach gear provided was a nice bonus , as we used the chairs and boogie boards several times. One of the 2 on site pools was literally outside the back door. The kitchen was stocked well with all the appropriate items. We would certainly come back and stay here again. Mahalo

The location was perfect. The information given to maximize the stay and organization of the entire process was likewise perfect. Walking distance to world class snorkeling, waking up to rainbows, several excellent restaurants on property as well (Sea House for lunch the best). The only neutral thing I would say is that the laundry room washers are low end commercial grade and barely can get dirty out. Maybe if they would allow for more than a 35 minute wash cycle that would help. Thank you so much!

We love Napili Shores (this was our third stay at Napili Shores, our first stay in this particular unit). The resort is beautiful and right next to the best beach. This unit is incredibly clean, updated and well stocked with everything you could possibly need. A gorgeous, relaxing place that I highly recommend!

We say at Napili Shores multiple times a year. The property is beautiful, there are two pools, a hot tub, 2 restaurants, a surf shop, and probably more. We go from the beach, to the pool, to the hot tub, and repeat over and over. If that’s your jammy jam and you like excellent customer service this place is for you. Pro Tip - We love 2nd floor suites because of the vaulted ceilings.

We loved our stay here. This is our third time at this location, first time in this unit. Things we loved: The unit was very clean and we enjoyed its location. You can see a small part of the water from the porch, and on the rainier days the interior is cozy and welcoming. It had just about everything we needed. When we arrived, the coffee pot had a small crack in it — the property managers came right away and replaced it. All in all, you really can’t go wrong here. Minutes walk to the beach, you’re close to the pool without being next to it, the unit is lovely. Things we didn’t love: We only bother including these things because of how much we paid to come (a lot for us). While it was only two of us, we were staying for six days and were only given two beach towels (when we asked for a couple more, they were reluctant a bit but did bring us some). We would’ve loved if the unit had a beach umbrella, but we rented one from the store on the property. Lastly, check-in was easy but we did get mixed messages from the property management company and the property itself. The front desk told us check-in was 3pm and check out 11am, while the property managers told us 4pm and 10am respectively. After arriving at 12pm to Maui and needing to do some grocery shopping, a 4pm check in time feels rather late, especially with perishable groceries (and the last thing you want to do after arriving there is get back in the car to go grocery shopping). Generally though, very few complaints.

Well maintained and centrally located in Kapalua. We were there with friends who were staying at the Ritz for a conference. We probably paid as much for 4 days as they did for 1 day. They had a car and we kept it for OUR free parking outside our room. Hot tub and pool steps away. Great location and 2 restaurants. Beach chairs and boogie boards. Walk to the beach. All mod cons. Had to go to grocery store (close drive) for coffee and beer. My pick for a budget vacation.

We are a retired couple in our 80’s. We have stayed at different places on Maui a number of times over the years. We like the low (2 story) type of resorts with open lawn areas best. The ground level B112, with ocean view, suited us perfectly. Being located right next to Napili Beach was great (no driving to get to the beach). We ate many meals at the unit and found it was well provisioned for our cooking needs (&BBQing). We only needed the air conditioner twice, as the fans and ventilation was fine. Conveniently located close to grocery shopping. Grounds and equipment are well maintained. We certainly enjoyed our stay.

We would like for no one else to know about this gem so we can stay here every January and February! Only annoyance was the loud dishwasher but we adjusted our timing around it. Evely, please own more units as you are great to work with.

We have visited Maui many times over the last 25 years and love Napili Shores. The first 4 or 5days we had some issues with noise from a hot water heater at the back of the unit. The resort got it repaired as quickly as they could; not something the unit owner had control over. We did read in other reviews that the Lanai was close to the sidewalk but we were surprised at just how close it was. People were coming and going from the parking lot, the beach and the restaurant all day. They would comment on the books we were reading, that’s how close people were. We had booked a three week stay and fully expected to have to do a bit of housekeeping ; but there was nothing but an old broom without a dustpan! If you don’t care about privacy, this is your place.

Unit is totally as advertised and pictured. Amazing ground floor views and short walk to Nāpili beach and not far to Kapalua Bay! Pools are clean, quiet and not crowded. The entire property is clean and very relaxing. If you can get a reservation here you should schedule it soon. I won’t stay anywhere else. We rented e-bikes and rarely drove our car anywhere.

I've been going to Maui before roads and parking lots were paved to Makena but first time in Napili. Although the brief glimpses of Lahaina town was devastating and it was sorely missed the Napili Shores was a good choice. Grounds: extremely well kept, BBQ's cleaned every day, and quiet time is actually quiet. Beach: short walk to sandy beach, rocky beach very close and well loved by a much younger group that me. Perfect site for whale sighting, albeit, quite a ways out but I didn't get motion sick watching. Condo: Lacked for very little. King bed super comfy and well, the sofa bed is a sofa bed. Everything worked, (great blender), furniture comfy and a rainy day in felt like home. Note to those that like to cook, there were no staples, spices, oils (bugs?) No big deal for us but you might consider packing or purchasing some in your first grocery shop. The Safeway and Canary Mall shops are open. Napili Market is close and provides great choices in their deli dept and poke cases. The fish market has really good, fresh fish but go early as they sell out. Truly one of the best stays I've had. I hope you feel the same.

We had a great time here. The location cannot be beat. You can see the ocean from your room and is a very short walk to the sandy beach. Property management was very responsive and helpful. This place is not a newly remodeled unit. Which doesn’t bother us. You’ll see some rust on the vents and some stains around. But we were totally fine with that. We care more about being close to the water which this place was.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The new finishes are beautiful and the extra large shower is nice. There is a very pretty view of Napili Bay, and from the lanai you can watch the migrating whales. You should be aware that there is no washer/dryer in the unit, just a coin operated laundry room up the hill near the lobby

We had a wonderful stay in our condo at Nāpili Shores! The location was amazing and the property has everything you need and more. The condo is beautiful and well kept with all the things you need to feel at home. Our host was helpful and provided everything we would need to make our stay magical. We will be back again!

This condo was everything we expected and more. The view and location are spectacular! Terry is very easy to communicate with and wants you to have a wonderful stay. We were able to see whales breaching from our lanai! Can’t wait to go again.
