This is not our first time at Napili Kai Hale, but unfortunately, it will probably be our last. We stayed at the home last year around this time and it was amazing what a difference a year makes. The house is becoming very run down. The guest shower curtain had mold and overall it was just very outdated. The location cannot be beat, however we'll take our chances with another rental since this home has lost it's charm.

Comment by Owner/Manager:

We appreciate our guests feedback and make every endeavor to maintain our homes so you will indeed want to return! The shower curtain is replaced or washed on a regular schedule but had been overlooked for which we sincerely apologize. Our housekeepers take a great deal of pride in providing a clean home. Had we been notified the moment it was noticed we would have replaced it as we keep extra supplies on-site. The home is scheduled to be painted. The carpets are cleaned regularly, especially during high season. No specific mention is made of what is run down for me to address individually. The kitchen has all new stainless appliances and while the counters are tile not granite, we do not market this as an upscale home but a handsome and casual serene oceanfront home which it most certainly is:)

The home, gardens, view from inside the house as well as outside is lovely. All rooms felt roomy and inviting. It was nice to have outdoor seating, an outdoor grill(s), outdoor shower, and access to the water front. Customer service was friendly, helpful & available as needed. The best part of my trip (at Napili Kai Hale) was watching the sunset while enjoying pupus & a tropical beverage. We did a lot of cooking & didn't seek out many restaurants -- but enjoyed dinner at Merrimans just a short drive up the road. Nice views, delicious local food and good atmosphere. We took photos of the sunset regularly in the backyard a perfect setting for terrific photos. I look forward to sharing stories of our whale & turtle encounters. February is a terrific time to view both. The weather can be a bit breezy and rain a bit more in Napili don't despair, just head south 5 or 10 minutes. Generally, the snorkeling, whale watching, etc is best in the early morning. Go on the sunrise tours for clearer skis and calmer waters. A good local market with daily fresh fish is TIMES Supermarket, about 3 miles south. The kitchen is roomy & has good appliances, if you intend to cook, bring your favorite (necessary) utensils, including a chef's knife, carrot peeler, lime squeezer, etc. You might also consider bringing your pillow.

We absolutely loved our six nights staying at Napili Kai Hale! We had 6 adults stay in the home and it was very comfortable. The downstairs living area was perfect for enjoying the views and playing cards at night. We spent a night in and cooked dinner with all of the appliances provided it made so convenient. I would absolutely recommend this home to anyone looking for a quaint vacation spot. The sea turtles gave us a nightly show, they were an absolutely pleasure to watch feast on the moss in the rocks outside the property. Do not expect to swim in the water with them, there are too many rocks, however we were able to snorkel at the Sheraton (Black Rock) in Lahaina and swam with the turtles there. The property manager, Richard, was a pleasure to work with and so helpful. We will be back in a year! Mahalo.

The house was beautifully located, well-equipped and very private. I loved sitting in the yard watching whales (binoculars needed) and the turtles. The customer service was great - Allen (and Tess) were very nice, prompt, informative and helpful. I also really liked being able to walk to a good swimming beach and to the rocky point for the best turtle watching.

We loved the home, very comfortable - the stained glass is amazing. Loved the seal & turtles swimming in the inlet. Loved the sound of the waves. Great sleeping sounds! We were disapointed it wasn't a swimming beach - guess we'll know what to ask next time. Roy's is a GREAT restaurant, right around the corner & fabulous food. If the waves are high, try DT Flemming beach w/boogie boards - what a blast!

This is a wonderful light filled house with incredible ocean front views. The house is very comfortable with a nice kitchen for multiple cooks and open to the living area so cooks can still talk to the other guests. The Master Bedroom has a spectacular ocean view and easy to operate light blocking electric shades. The master bath has no door closing off the bedroom but is large enough that privacy is OK. The furnishings are very comfortable but somewhat worn. All the mattresses are comfotable and in good condition. We did not use the central air conditioning because the ceiling fans were very adequate. The beach is easily accessible down concrete steps at the beach wall. BUT do not expect to play on the beach at this house. The beach is very small and mostly rocks. Only very good swimmers should think about entering the water from the beach at this house because of the rocks, surf and tide. The house is located on a very nice street of well maintained homes. The Kanapali Resort area is 5 - 10 minutes drive and Lahina is 10 minutes away. There is a medium size but well stocked grocery store very close to the house. The street has no thru traffic and almost no park and walk traffic because the beach access trail is small and leads to a rocky point which is only used by a few local fisherman. I enjoyed my time at the house and would not hesitate to rent it again in the future.

The house was in a beautiful setting and the set-up worked out well for our family. While the kitchen had all new appliances.
