I think we got the best unit at Napili Point. It wasn't cheap and run down. It was roomy and clean. We snorkeled in the bay right in front with sea turtles and watched the sunset over Lanai. We had the ocean front so we had a nice front yard and we sat outside everyday. The only downfall is that is is far from the airport, major shopping and harbor (if you are planning to go on a boat trip) so you really had to consider travel time. Especially during rush hour. There were two truck accidents in the one week we were there and it took us a long time coming back from the Kihei side up to Napili. But we also like the secludedness of Napili better than the busy and too touristy Kaanapali area. Closer to Lahaina, dining at the Hula Grill was great.

Our family stayed in Unit C-7 for 4 nights and we were delighted. This is a two bedroom unit, consisting of a decent sized living room/eating area, appropriately sized kitchen, master bedroom and a second bedroom which is a loft over the living area, and two bathrooms. The view is phenominal -- I just oozed happiness sitting on the lanai! The apartment itself is up a set of stairs, which may be a problem if you have strollers or other impediments. There is no air conditioning but cross ventilaion and fans worked well and we were comfortable. The grounds were very well maintained, with grassy areas and nice landscaping. Lovely swimming pool -- actually I believe there are 2 pools but we only saw one). To the left of the complex is a good snorkeling cove with many turtles and there is a good beach to the right -- both within walking distance. We really enjoyed our stay here and would return in a heartbeat! Two thumbs up!

We just spent 9 days in a 2br condo at Napili Point. I hesitate to write a great review because I don't want the secret to get out -- but this is a great spot to be if you are looking for a beautiful but more low-key location. We loved our condo (29B) which was beautifully decorated and in perfect condition. There were beach chairs, noodles and (broken) boogie boards in the closet. The staff at the front desk was very helpful and the grounds were immaculate.

We are beach people, and spent half the time at the Napili Bay and the other half at Fleming Beach where there are great waves this time of year. Our kids snorkeled with the turtles and everywhere else. In fact, the snorkeling was so beautiful out our back door that we actually canceled our reservations to Molikini!

We did end up driving a bit, but it was not a problem since parking is easy virtually everywhere we went. We went to dinner in Kaanapali three times, and I didn't think it was nearly a beautiful as where we were. But if you like crowded beaches and packed restaurants then by all means stay there. If you are looking for a family-friendly and romantic atmosphere with smaller condos, a beautiful sandy beach on one side, a secluded bay with turtles on the other side, and no high-rise hotels then Napili is terrific!

My family and I stayed at Napili Point for the second time, this time in unit A-25, reserved privately through VRBO. While there are many positives (proximity to a fantastic beach, view of the bay, saw 8 turtles one day!, quiet pools, nice landscaping, bbq's and picnic tables scattered about, generally beautiful area of Maui) we had the unfortunate luck to rent a unit that was very uncomfortable due to no air circulation. The way this particular unit was situated, there are only windows/slider on one side, therefore no cross breeze could be found. A large hedge was also in front of the unit thus blocking the breeze even more. You really couldn't use the oven or the washer and dryer because of the heat already inside the unit. We actually had to check out and find another place to stay and just bite the bullet on paying for two places. The owner was unresponsive regarding the situation.

My advice is this - Napili Point is a wonderful place to stay but you have to be careful about which unit you rent and where it is situated. I would rent through the management office next time rather than a private party because if there is a problem, at least they are on site and can move you to another unit.
