perfect

Perfect condo for 2-3! Was a little warm at night fans helped a bit. Front desk gave a hard time on missing laundry key and owner had to deal with this after our stay. Close to beach and we saw turtles everyday from our shores. Gazebo was perfect place to grab lunch or breakfast but expect a bit of wait, but sit by pool and relax! Thank you would definitely come back!

It was everything we expected very short walk to the beach good snorkeling , the complex had two pools and were never over crowded the complex had a rental shop with snorkeling gear for only $5 a day It had a good location close to shopping and the tours and luaus all. In all we want to stay there when we return .

Evelyn was amazing. VRBO had a glitch and we were unable to pay through the website. Evelyn went out of her way to help us figure out the problem & get us booked! I go to Maui every year, and I will definitely try to stay here again.

Thanks Evelyn for having a lovely place for us to spend 10 wonderful days. Thanks for having the nice fan in your place. We needed it!! Some of the units have a small window in the door to let the breeze flow through, just a suggestion. It was nice to have beach chairs and a boogie board to us. Loved the patio to eat what meals I made!! We have so many favorite restaurants on Maui since we've been there before so we ate dinner out. Of course we ate at The Gazebo. GREAT FOOD!! Thank you again!! We will stay there again!! Hope sooner than 4 yrs. this time!! Lynne and Steve Hanke Littleton, CO

Napili is my preferred West Maui neighborhood for a few reasons - unlike Kaanapali, it isn't super resort-y, and unlike Lahaina, it definitely feels more off the grid. But Napili's biggest draw is certainly the beach, which is some to some of the best snorkeling on the island. Every afternoon, you are guaranteed to see some turtles, often several, just a few feet off shore in shallow water. It's great. This condo is conveniently located about a minute's walk from the beach and has ample parking. It is well-equipped and comfortable, with a lanai that looks over the central garden. You will use the vented windows on both sides of the condo, and may find yourself leaving the door open for a better breeze. As long as it isn't an especially hot day, you won't mind the lack of air conditioning. I will note, however, that this unit and complex are not particularly quiet. Because you will have the windows open to keep cool, you will hear delivery and trash trucks, your millennial neighbors playing their guitar, and a guy named Mark calling everyone he knows on the East Coast at 5:30 in the morning, loudly exclaiming "Hey, it's Mark. I'm in Hawaii!" If quiet is a priority of yours, you might want to look somewhere that has A/C so you can keep your windows shut and the noise out. The owner and management were very responsive and having a keypad lock means you can't lose your key.

Evelyn was great! We booked last minute and had to make some adjustments, Evelyn was quick to respond and very helpful. The condo was great. Comfy bed and a large room. Keep in mind there is no AC at the entire complex. The room had a ceiling fan and the most powerful upright fan ever(we actually ordered one when we got home)! No complaints! I would stay there again.

Great location, and super value.

The property was wonderful. The staff was so great. Dining room super. Beach access simple. Thanks for making our first visit to Mai the best

This resort is very kid friendly. While we were there kids under 12 swarmed the hot tub daily making it difficult to use. We had to call security as their parents were not supervising and no where to be seen as per usage guidelines. Screaming and crying kids am and pm running loose. Our unit had a comfortable bed. Half of the lights were burned out which we called about and had repaired. There are no wine glasses available. The kitchen equipment altho present is tired. The unit is priced for its condition.

Owner Response

I am so sorry this guest experienced less than paradise and for the unsupervised children. That is not the norm but, unfortunately, this can happen at any resort. Thank you for mentioning it is priced accordingly. We did do an upgrade after this visit to the bathroom and will do more as we have time between guests. I will have wine glasses added, thanks for letting me know.

My wife and I stayed here the week of March 12th. We love the Napili area for it's small town feel, away from the mega tourists spots and located on what we feel one of the best beaches around. We have stayed at a few places close by in recent years but had seen Napili shores on our last visit and wanted to try a new place. Well, we stumbled upon Evelyn's condo here and I tell you, it was perfect. Nice 2nd floor location with views of the ocean from the balcony, and Hawaiian theme décor, which makes you feel at home! Although the beach is a mainstay of all visits, to have a choice of 2 pools and a hot tub onsite were added bonuses.She had all of the conveniences you could think of, from utensils to cook your own meals within or chairs, umbrellas and the like to head out for a day at the beach! Evelyn was available every step of the way from start to finish. Highly recommend this condo , two thumb up! Mahalo Evelyn, we loved staying at your condo. Leo

Here is so beautiful.

Great condo at Napili Shores. Owner Evelyn great, quick response to any questions, needs, etc. Already booked for next year.

Napili Shores is a beautiful location next to a spectacular beach. It is well managed with 5 well maintained bbqs and two beautiful swimming pools. Evelyn’s unit provides all amenities required for an enjoyable stay. We definitely want to return.

This is (at least—I'm afraid I've stopped counting!) my fifth visit to Maui and I've stayed at Napili Shores on most of those visits. I keep going back to Napili because it's much more laid back than the big resort atmosphere of Kaanapali but it's only a few minutes further up the road. Unit C217 is very clean, up to date unit and Evelyn was very quick responding to all messages. All in all another great stay at Napili Shores.

We were so happy with Evelyn's unit at Napili Shores! We arrived to a broken shower head and it was fixed immediately! I even told her to wait until next guests because we could still shower, but she did not hesitate to fix it. Near upper pool and hot tub. Call in your order to The Gazebo Restaurant for breakfast and pick it up ten mins later rather than waiting in hour-long line. The condo was clean, every amenity included that we needed, and very comfy for 3 Would definitely book again! Thank you, Evelyn, for making our vacation condo experience perfect!

Great that she providing chairs, cooler, umbrella, and boogie board. Nice location and room was clean.

First and foremost, Evelyn was a most gracious hostess and responded immediately to questions and a schedule change when we first reserved our stay dates. Her property was extremely clean when we arrived and was easily accessible with all accommodations as promised. The room was very quiet and relaxing with an open balcony for quiet evenings. Pool and beach access were beyond our expectations and made this vacation so easy and memorable. Thank you Evelyn for an amazing experience and making this so pleasurable and easy!

My wife and I had a great time staying at Napili Shores. The condo was clean and comfortable and the property had great beach access just a few hundred feet from the unit. The Gazebo restaurant on site does great breakfast, there's a market nearby and a coffee shop with great coffee. Onsite water sport rentals we rented snorkels from. We had a blast! Would definitely stay again!

Bright, spacious and a short walk from the beach, this studio was perfect for our 5-night stay in Lahaina. It's located on the shores of Napili Bay, and Kapalua Bay is also within walking distance. Both are fantastic destinations for snorkeling! The condo had everything we needed to cook a few meals for ourselves, including a blender for tropical smoothies and Pina Coladas. Evelyn was very communicative throughout the booking process and explained everything we needed to know prior to our stay.

Also parking was a none issue and beach access was close.

An enjoyable stay despite the winds and high waves. We strenuously object to the ripoff key charge which is nothing more than a resort fee imposed by Outrigger Resorts.

Owner Response

I'm so glad this guest had an enjoyable stay. The $45 key charge is clearly stated in the instructions and description of the property. It is annoying for both the guest and the owners as we have no control, but to be fair, the hotel employees are available at all hours to check guests in, replace keys, and as security. This fee covers the paperwork and these service for each guest. One can pay twice as much and rent through the hotel so I feel this condo is priced to make up for the added charge. Even with the high winds, Maui was so much nicer than most of us experienced during the cold spell on the mainland!

Great location with awesome grounds with grills and right on the beach!

Napili Bay is the best beach on the island and Evelyn's condo is on the best part of Maui. Roomy, updated and very close to the beach and Gazebo restaurant. We'd definitely stay here again.

The unit was very clean and has a nice location in Napili Shores. It is minutes to walk to wonderful Napili Bay, always great for swimming and there is also three more awesome beaches within walking distance. It is paradise here! Be sure and shop local fresh produce at Napili Farmer's Market Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Perfect location on Napili bay. Second floor unit which means you can leave slider open to get cross breeze of the beautiful trade winds. Bed is cal king and super comfortable. Good sheets and pillows. Clean and well stocked. Nice redone bathroom. Spacious. Clean. Remodeled. Can't say a single bad thing about it! Even extended our stay 4 days. Simply perfect condo in perfect location. Will go back for sure. Already planning next trip! Aloha

The unit was quiet and nicely furnished. We enjoyed sitting on the lanai in the morning while sipping our coffee. The grounds were very well landscaped and the pool/Jacuzzi were always clean. The fans kept us cool during the hot nights. Loved the Gazebo Restaurant!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. Perfect for what I needed; a carefree relaxing time. Grocery store close by. Great hikes close by. My new favorite swimming beach a few steps away- great for watching the sun set and snorkeling too! Evelyn was a great hostess- she made sure that I had all I needed and helped me add two extra days to my stay :p I would recommend this vacation spot to anyone!

We rented the property for our daughter's honeymoon stay and they were completely over joyed with how nice the condo and grounds around the complex were. Very close to shopping in Lahaina, activities and beautiful beach views. We would rent this property again! Evelyn was pleasant to deal with if we had any issues.

We stayed at this rental in March, 2016 for two weeks and really enjoyed ourselves. It is a studio with a functional layout in a family-oriented condo community. The property runs along one side of Napili Bay and offers amenities including two pools, a hot tub, a number of BBQs, the Gazebo restaurant, and lovely grounds. The rental was clean on arrival and any issues of things missing were addressed by the owner in a timely manner. We found we were okay without central air conditioning, but did use the fan provided. The kitchen was mostly well stocked, but could use a different corkscrew (we were too weak to use the one provided). Overall, we would recommend this condo to those looking for a small, reasonable place to stay close to the beach.

Owner Response

Thanks so much for the review. FYI, for any guests staying in this condo, if you are missing anything, such as a good wine opener, I will get one to you. I always appreciate my guests letting me know these things as it's hard to know what may go missing or what an individual guest may need. I also reimberse guests if they have to purchase something that adds to the amenities of the condo. FYI, good wine opener has been added!

Review #14332170 “Carefree In Paradise Napili Shores Resort” ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Napili Shores is a well-maintained, family friendly resort and had a good mix of all ages. We found our unit to be as pictured and described. We liked the 2nd floor location so we could leave the sliding door open at night. Another plus was the Gazebo restaurant located right on the property and overlooking the ocean serving breakfast and lunch. We also liked the BBQ chicken and ribs restaurant (and take-out) located near the lobby for dinner. We enjoyed the coastal walk with breathtaking views of the ocean, which is only a few minutes from the property. We would recommend this unit to family/friends.

Nice little place. Exactly what we were looking for and needed. Beach was beautiful. Thank you! Would stay there again....

Pleasant relaxing experience. Some loud neighbors arguing late at night waking us up. Otherwise a good place to stay for the price.

We have been to Maui several times and are partial to the Napili area. This place was a great value and just what we were looking for. We spent almost a month so it was nice to have the kitchen and the outside grills. There were two pools, one with a hot tub and more kid friendly, the other next to the ocean with a fabulous view. The king bed was very comfortable and Evelyn completely worked with us on a couple of requests to make our stay more comfortable. The laundromat on the premises was easy to use, there were two good restaurants also on the premises and the beach was about 12 convenient steps away. I couldn't have asked for better except the weather and it was beautiful the entire time. So there ya go:)

Last minute trip came through and was just at the right time. Beach is just a few steps away and everything you need is super convenient. No air conditioner, but is totally tolerable if you leave the shades closed. I'd stay again for sure.

My husband and I were here for a week at the end of November 2015. The studio is perfect for two people, the layout is great, we even had a peek a boo oceanview from the large deck. This complex is older but has been extremely well maintained. The grounds are gorgeous and are frequented by beautiful birds. We walked everyday on the trail along Kapalua which is spectacular, the snorkeling nearby is excellent, there are lots of turtles in the bay to the south. The Napili Bay beach is a short stroll & is perfect. The Gazebo Restaurant is on the property & makes great macadamia nut pancakes. Don't lineup, call from the room and pickup. The owner Kelly was very kind and allowed us to have a late checkout since our flights left late at night. Our only complaint would be that we didn't stay here long enough. We would definitely stay here again, we loved it.

No a/c and it was way too hot. My husband and I had to sleep separately because we couldn't deal with the heat. The location was nice. The owner was very friendly.

Owner Response

I am so sorry for the guest's discomfort during this unseasonably warm month. Napili Shores Resort doesn't have air conditioned units. 95% of the time the weather is perfect with no A/C, and the best part is no roaring A/C units ruining the tranquility as you can hear the soothing sound of the ocean. If heat is an issue for you, you may want to plan your visit in any other month than the height of the summer.

We love the Napili area and decided to seek a place to stay around here this time around in Maui. We hit jackpot! This was so close to Napili Bay, seriously 1 minute walking distance. We walked there everyday and sometimes even to Kapalua. Everything we needed was at the condo, though I would say, we didn't expect the "essentials" to not be there. Like salt, pepper, oil or butter, simple things like that. Not too big of a deal, we bought some during our stay. We brought our own shampoo and soaps because there was none provided. There were plenty of towels and beach towels were handy. Bed was comfortable, there's WIFI!!!! Our very own Wifi too!! SO AWESOME!! Cable TV helped greatly for the days it rained. The ceiling fan and stand alone fan were great too on those stiffing hot days. We had a great time and would not hesitate staying here again. All correspondence with Evelyn was great. She's quick to respond, very nice to work with and even let us check out late since our flight was at night!! SO nice of her!! Definitely check her places out.

Best location in Maui. Napili Bay is the best! We arrived during a heat wave and there was no relief except the pool or ocean. A/C would have made this 4 stars.

Owner Response

I agree! Best location in Maui! Napili Shores Resort, as advertised, does not have A/C in any units and 90% of the time none is needed. The trade winds normally blow a nice breeze and temperatures are generally lower on this part of the island. An advantage to no A/C units, is that there are no noisy motors running ruining the quiet and obscuring the gentle sound of the birds, the ocean and the overall tranquility of the resort. Unfortunately, this year has had above average temperatures for Aug and Sept. To help future travelers, I have added a more powerful ceiling fan and a 2nd floor fan. Owner, Evelyn

Good location for fun at the shores of Napili! Because of the hottest days seen on record and a malfunction of a ceiling fan, needed to call the owner Evelyn who immediately came to the rescue with an overnight tower fan delivery! Would rent from her again! She was truly a delightful landlord and a pleasure dealing with! The scenery with breathtaking and approximately 22 miles from heaven. Thanks Evelyn! Aloha! David and Debbee

We had a great stay at Napili Shores. Evelyn was so fantastic to deal with, and even let us stay way past checkout on the day that we were due to leave, as we had a late flight. Listing was as seen in the picture - everything was clean and tidy. Napili Shores itself is a great resort, very family oriented with two pools and an onsite restaurant that does breakfast/lunch (always a big line so get in early or order takeout!), and the Iron Imu for dinner. We were there in the height of summer so the beach could get quite crowded, but there are plenty of others to choose from in Maui. Fantastic sunsets. Thank you for a great stay!

The property is very nice, newly remodeled.. It is on the second floor and farther away from the pools which minimizes the noise. It is very close to the Napili Bay beach, which is fantastic for swimming and snorkeling. Father you can access Kapalua Bay and Kapalua Coastal Trail and walk along the beach with stunning views to Ritz Carlton for afternoon Mai Tai. We had a great time at this property.
