Finally, an affordable piece of paradise!
Review Submitted: September 28, 2008
Date of Stay: July 2008
We stayed at Matt & Arleen's condo for 10 nights at the beginning of July 2008. The condo is very tastefully decorated in an Old Hawaii theme, and has all the comforts of home, except a/c. However, we managed to stay reasonably cool by keeping the doors and windows open and using the fans almost 24/7. Our two kids shared the bedroom, and my husband and I got the sofa bed... which became much more comfortable after we bought a foam mattress topper (btw, we left it for the next guest!). Having a full kitchen was very nice, as was the washer and dryer in the unit.
The location is ideal for getting away... Napili Ridge is a residential complex, so there aren't lots of tourist crowds or screaming children, unless you happen to bring them with you like we did!! The condo is about a ten minute walk from the beach, however we found it was easier to drive down the hill with all the beach gear we had to carry. Napili Bay is a great beach for kids of all ages; there are several beachfront hotels/condos, so plan on going early if you want to guarantee yourself a good spot.
Nearby in Napili Plaza, there is a grocery store and an awesome coffee shop; "The Coffee Store" has 24 WiFi internet access besides a good cuppa and delicious sides. The restaurants and shops of Kanapali are only a few minutes drive south; drive about 10 minutes more and you are in Lahaina. Calvary Chapel West Maui holds their services at the Beach Park just north of Lahaina on Sunday mornings.
We had a wonderful time in Maui, and it was largely because we had such a wonderful base of operations... Matt & Arleen, thank you so much for letting us stay in your little piece of paradise!! :)
