We celebrated my parents' 80th birthdays at this wonderful home in Napili (we were 6 adults, 2 teens, and 2 kids). The house itself had everything we could ever need, with a fully outfitted kitchen, comfortable beds, a huge hangout area with games and puzzles, and plenty of beach chairs, boogie boards, umbrellas, coolers and sand toys for our trips to the beach. The larger shared property was beautiful, with gorgeous views, mango tree, a private cove with turtles, and a pool for the littles. We LOVED our stay and can't wait to come back!
Wonderful week, most our family came. 13 of us. Plenty of room; good location, short drive to several beaches. Communal pool. Highly recommend!
Wonderful home and location. We felt secure and safe. Lots of amenities from well stocked kitchen to beach chairs, umbrellas etc. Great snorkeling close by and beautiful beaches. Great home for every age.
Very nice place, great location. The accommodations made for a very fun and relaxing trip.
We have stayed in multiple rentals in Hawaii and this was one of the best places we have been. The house is great, the location as well. The back yard is very private with amazing ocean views. The secluded cove with pool and ocean access is the highlight. Nowhere else can you get this type of private ocean access. The pool is right on the ocean and is excellent as well. Highly recommended.
House was great for extended family trip.
Our family of six stayed for a week. Home is large, well-appointed and comfortable. Beautiful location. Seeing and swimming with turtles everyday is a dream come true. Great to have towels, beach chairs, coolers, boogie boards, etc... at the ready for daily excursions. Julie, the Property Manager, is excellent. She was very responsive, friendly, and gave great recommendations. Would definitely rent again. Mahalo!
Beautiful property in a one of a kind location. Short walk to the private cove where you can watch the turtles and snorkel. Lots of beach gear at the house and our teenage grandsons had a blast. We had 7 family members and plenty of room with living spaces on both floors. Very lush shrubs and trees created sense of privacy. Definitely recommend this for a memorable family vacation.
This is a stunningly beautiful location. A truly private accomodation. With five bedrooms (2up and 3down) each with its own family room, TV's in every room, Wi-Fi throughout, nice modern kitchen it really left noting to be desired. It has a private electric gated entrance so very private. When we had a problem (bolt on gate broke so no in or out) we texted the property manager and it was completely repaired within an hour. The service we received from the owner and Julie the property manager was fabulous. Answered every text within five minutes. All-in-all a great stay.
This is a wonderful, comfortable, very well stocked and maintained property--in an amazing and very convenient location. Property manager Julie is very responsive and helpful. This place works perfectly for our 3 generation family of 9. Highly recommend!
Amazing house and turtle cove was awesome good entertainment close by and a great time was had thanks
We brought the entire family to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary and it was fabulous. The house was everything they said it was and more. The pool was great and watching the turtles in the small bay was a lot of fun. Having lots on beach equipment made going to the beach a easy. The kitchen was well stocked and the meals we had there were easy to prepare. We would highly recommend renting.

I recommend that there be a warning about the step up from the garage entrance. Multiple falls. Plants growing out of gutters reflects negatively on an otherwise beautiful place. Steps down to pool area can get slippery without some type of railing. These may be liability issues for owner.

It was an amazing location with all the amenities you need. Beautiful access to turtle cove where we saw and swam with the turtles, a calm bay that young children could access. our host responded quickly when we need her help. it was perfect!!

First, the positives!
+ Incredibly responsive and helpful property management - Julie was a total pleasure
+ Walk down to the private cove and pool is incredible (lovely sunsets from the bluffs and SO MANY TURTLES!)
+ Close to market (you can walk to the grocery store), and short drive to wonderful beaches (our fave was DT Fleming) and great shopping (Whaler's Village)
+ Large and open common area that easily accommodates families who like to cook, which we did a lot of! Also appreciated the stocked propane for the outdoor grill!
+ Tons of beach chairs, boogie boards, sand toys to use and plenty of towels both bath and beach
On the not so good....
- Apparently because of the rains, there was a rodent issue in the house. Specifically rats in the pantry. We had 3 dead rats caught in traps inside the pantry over the course of the first 3 days of our stay. Property management was very responsive and sent people to dispose of the dead rats, clean, and try to prevent more.
- Layout of rooms and bathrooms was a bit odd and house generally is a bit outdated.
This is a wonderful property! Our 3-generation family of 9 people spent 2 weeks in David's terrific home, making unforgettable memories. We highly recommend the house for an extended visit to paradise.
Pros: Hands down, our favorite part of the property was the cove, where several members of our group swam with the sea turtles at all times of the day. And the fact that some of us could be at the pool and watch other family members enjoy the ocean just a few feet away -- that was great. About 90% of the time, we had the pool/cove entirely to ourselves! And on the very short walk from the house, we often picked up mangos that had recently dropped from the many (very tall) mango trees. Our second favorite thing was the back lanai, where we enjoyed the early morning bird serenades, lush vegetation and lovely sunsets. So peaceful, and the view was outstanding. The kitchen was very well equipped, and we did a lot of cooking. The mattresses were excellent, and the bath/beach towels high quality. Fran, the property manager, was very responsive to our occasional minor requests and questions. We felt well taken care of. The landscape staff came frequently to keep the outdoor areas clean/tidy. There was plenty of space in the house for everyone to have privacy when desired and to gather comfortably for meals and socializing.
Cons: The bathroom situation was somewhat inconvenient at times. One of the downstairs bedrooms doesn't have access to a bathroom at night except for the one in the upstairs hallway. This meant the people in that bedroom had to go upstairs to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, and had to coordinate with others to get shower time in the en suite bathrooms in other bedrooms. Also, the upstairs hall bathroom, which serves bedroom #2 upstairs, had a nice bathtub with a hand-held shower attachment but no stand-up shower. The two people in that bedroom had to schedule time to use the shower in the master suite when they wanted to shampoo their long hair. The hot tub seemed to be in an odd place, in our opinion: a few feet in front of the house's front door. (That's probably why we didn't use it.) To us, the logical place for the hot tub would have been the lower-level patio, just outside the downstairs family room.
Despite those minor things, we rate this a 5-star property. The location on Maui is wonderful -- convenient to food/essentials while also being in a peaceful, very beautiful spot. Stay there -- you'll love it!
Very unique and Wonderful Property!! Great memories were made for All! Mahalo

We had a very merry Christmas week with cousins at Turtle Cove.
First off, Fran is an excellent host. Very attentive!
The house works well for a big group, with lots of room for hanging out together. The view from the lanai is fantastic. The great room is made even greater by the fact that the sliding doors open the full length of the lanai. The kitchen is well stocked. We had many dinners at home. It comfortably sleeps 9. We had parents upstairs, kids downstairs. The master bedroom suite is stunning and huge. The other bedrooms are comfortable but a bit dark, as the house is built into the hill. The bathroom situation is fine, just a little quirky --- Bedroom 2 has a jetted tub but no shower (just handheld), and Bedroom 3 has to access bathroom through other downstairs bedrooms or share with upstairs (the master bath became a family bath for us.) The loads of beach gear - chairs, boogie boards, snorkels, beach toys - came in very handy.
The setting is beautiful and lush. We did not spend much time down by the pool as the cove was too rough for swimming and snorkeling, but imagine it is fantastic in calmer weather. We had a fun sunset excursion out to the rocks on the nob, where we met one of the resident turtles. Great spot and time for family photos!
The Napili area has lots going on. Many beaches to check out. We enjoyed Oneloa and Kahekili. Kapalua Beach is beautiful, but too crowded at Christmas time. The Kapalua Coastal Trail is worth checking out (Ironwood cliffs are awesome). And the proximity of Napili Market is a big plus.
Other recommendations include Whale Watch with the Pacific Whale Foundation, North Loop coastline road (hairy and awesome), backroad to Hana (same), Lahaina Pali Trail (beautiful and great for whale spotting), surf lessons with Rivers to the Sea, Moku Roots for lunch. And if you can snag parking res for Halakalea Sunrise, it is so worth getting up for!
You will have a great time at Turtle Cove!

In a word SPECTACULAR ! It has everything you need and more. The absolute best feature is the essentially private beach in a secluded cove a two minute walk away. You will be amazed with the turtles and colorful fish we swam with while snorkeling which we did every day. There is a pool at the beach but who wants a pool when you have the Pacific Ocean! Another plus is the shopping center with a market and restaurants a short stroll away. The view from the deck is amazing. The owners were extremely responsive to any questions we had. You can’t go wrong with this place!
We had a great time and it was an amazing place to stay. Definitely would do it again. Thanks
We can't say enough about the property and our time here. The view is spectacular (of the ocean and the gardens), and we spotted whales a handful of times. We had plenty of space for 7 adults and 9 kids and so much to do for those days when we didn't want to drive far. The pool was basically empty whenever we went. The snorkeling in the cove was incredible; we never went out without at least seeing 2 turtles, usually more. The location is close to a market and restaurants, but this place feels secluded and private. It's a quick drive to other larger beaches with more space and sand, and also a relatively quick drive to Lahaina for a little more action. Communication with Fran was easy and fast. The home has EVERYTHING you need. Toaster, cooking utensils, spices, cribs, snorkels, boogie boards, towels, beach toys, play room for kids, weights for the family member who insists on working out on vacation. We usually like to try new places every vacation, but everyone in the group agreed we'd just come back here on our next visit to Maui. The only complaint we had was that due to COVID, the county is limiting gatherings to less than 10 people so we did get chased out of the pool once. The on-site property manager was friendly when explaining the rules to us, but it did mean we no longer went with the entire group down to the pool. Can't wait for our next visit!
There is not enough words to explain the gratitude we have for Fran and Craig. The customer service for the whole year our trip was being canceled and continued on because of Covid.
The home and location was the most beautiful stay I have ever had and we travel ALOT! Maui was the absolute best place we have traveled too also. Hands down!
The home made it financially reasonable being able to cook and Fran has the place stocked with everything you would need. EVERYTHING!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! THE ONLY PLACE WE WILL EVER STAY IN MAUI.
Thank you Fran for everything!
