Beautiful Napili Bay 200 Steps to the Beach!

First and foremost, this condo is in an ideal location for both Napili and Kapalua beaches! Just as advertised it's 200 or even fewer steps to the beach, amazing snorkeling, paddle boarding, and a casual restaurant. The condo owner, Ryka, has equipped the condo with plenty of nice beach chairs, towels, buckets, inner tubes, and even a cooler. She has also done an incredible job with the condo itself. The furnishings are updated and comfortable and the kitchen is well set up for cooking full meals AND for packing up leftovers for picnics!

Ryka knows the area well and has plenty of great suggestions of activities. She is super helpful and available.

We would definitely stay here again!

We could not have asked for a more perfect Maui experience! Our communication with Ryka from the start was thorough and prompt. She answered all of our questions and recommended wonderful experiences and resources to check out on the island. As a Maui resident and member of the community for many years, Ryka knows her stuff, and has the kind of enthusiasm and respect for the island that set the perfect tone for our week in her condo. We had a few questions during the week, and they were all answered immediately with the kind of personal attention beyond our expectations.

The building complex is in a perfect location - close to Napili Bay (fabulous for kids, body surfing, snorkeling, paddle boarding) and Kapalua Bay (incredible snorkeling...no need to pay for an excursion with this available). Families drove in and fought for street parking every day to access these beaches, but our garage parking inside a gated courtyard was peaceful and a blessing. Everything you might need close by as well: surf shop, Kapalua Coastal Trail for great morning walks and fabulous views, all sorts of restaurants, groceries at the Honolua store or the Napili Market, coffee shops, hair and nail salons, and more.

The condo itself was perfect for our family with teenagers. Clean, beautifully appointed, lots of space, very comfortable, lovely patio, view of the ocean from the master, lots of natural light, and everything we could possibly need to be comfortable. Just like home! Laundry in the garage was a huge bonus, as were the boogie boards, chairs, and snorkel equipment. There are a half-dozen hotels/resorts close by, but we would choose this experience hands-down every time. No waiting in lines, noise from neighbors, hundreds of people everywhere you go... this was as relaxing as we could imagine. (And honestly less expensive.) The neighbors renting the adjoining units were polite and friendly, too...absolutely no issues.

Thank you, Ryka, for the opportunity to stay in your beautiful condo! We hope to come again some day. Oh - and thanks for the delivery of the coolers to our hotel room before we went to Costo, and also for the recommendation of the whale watching raft tour! We saw more than a dozen humpback whales close up, and it was such a thrill! Mahalo!!

Everything was smooth from the start on this stay. Communication was clear, the accommodations were as advertised and everything was there that we needed for the stay. To make things easier, she even went out and did a shop as arrival was a bit delayed - very appreciated to have a cold drink at our arrival and everything needed for AM breakfast before needing to go out for a shop.

The rooms were set up as advertised and we had a blow up bed set up and worked perfectly. The appliances were all higher end, and we used the BBQ. It was a bit finicky and required a call to Ryka who told us the simple solution was that sometimes it needed a quick shut off and restart. She was very responsive and nothing was delayed for our cooking. Washer and dryer were nice to have and in great working order.

A big bonus was the availability of beach chairs, beach towels, snorkel gear and boogie boards. We lugged our own from home as we were staying in two different spots, but really didn't have to bring it given all the extras that were available for us when we arrived.

The location was very close to beaches, surfing, boogie boarding, etc. We ran into 3 days of rainy weather, and so went for hikes and still were able to surf in the light rains.

Garage parking and gate were nice... everything was secure, and easy to deal with.

Recommend highly for larger family or group and overall excellent location just across the road from public access to beaches.

We are a retired couple that took our two granddaughters, ages 5 and 12, to Maui. We have rented VRBO properties all over the world and this one is probably the cleanest one we have ever rented. Immaculate. The appliances are all brand new and high quality, including the washer-dryer in the garage. The mattresses were all very good and the linens were excellent. We especially appreciated the large number of high quality towels, both beach and household, that were available. Lots of sand toys and very nice beach chairs. The stairs to the second floor bedrooms are pretty steep and narrow. Anybody with balance issues will need to keep that in mind. Also, the unit is located directly adjacent to a busy street so the traffic noise is initially noticeable. After a day or two you don't even hear it. The owner, Ryka, is a great resource. She responded to our inquiries promptly and was very helpful in making recommendations for beaches and meaningful resources for our family. The back patio is compact but extremely private. We enjoyed coffee there every morning. The outside grill is new and very clean. This townhouse is a great base to explore and enjoy Maui.

Outstanding place to stay. We stayed with 7 ppl, and the condo was very comfortable for all of us. It was well stocked with everything and a very convenient short 5 min walk to Naplili Bay.

Ryka met us upon arrival to show us around her place, and was accessible during our stay for any questions. Would not hesitate to recommend her place to family and friends. Will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to Maui.
