KBM Resorts: Napili Point NAP-C43 Best Ocean Front Villa Remodeled Includes Rental Car

Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed at a lot of places in Maui over the years, but Napili Point just hits different – and I mean that in the best way possible. This particular unit, C43, sits right on the ocean front, and honestly, when they say ocean front here, they actually mean it. You’re literally watching waves crash against the rocks from your lanai, not squinting at some distant blue line between resort towers.

The whole complex is tucked into this quiet corner of Napili Bay, which – if you know the area – is already one of the more chill spots compared to the madness in Kaanapali or Wailea. The remodel they did on C43 really shows; I mean, you can tell they didn’t just slap some new paint on the walls and call it good. The kitchen actually works (surprising how rare that is in vacation rentals), and the shower has decent water pressure, which is honestly a small miracle in older Maui properties. What really got me though was waking up to monk seals lounging on the little beach below – happens more often than you’d think, especially in the early morning before the day-trippers show up.

The rental car inclusion is actually clutch, and here’s why that matters more than it sounds: parking in Napili can be a nightmare during peak season, but having a guaranteed spot with the unit means you’re not circling the block at 2 PM when you get back from snorkeling at Honolua Bay. Speaking of which, you’re maybe a five-minute drive from some of the best snorkeling on the island – locals will point you toward the right entry points if you ask nicely. The trade winds hit this side of the complex just right too, so even when it’s blazing hot elsewhere, you’ve got this constant breeze that makes afternoon naps on the lanai actually happen whether you planned them or not. One thing to know – the units here aren’t huge, and if you’re used to mainland hotel rooms, it might feel compact, but honestly? You’re going to spend most of your time outside anyway, either on that incredible lanai or down at the beach. The sound of the ocean is constant, which I love, but light sleepers might want to pack earplugs just in case.
