Oceanfront Turtle Cove Villa, Napili. Spectacular views. 5BR+Loft, Sleeps 10 A/C

PAPAUA PARADISE — MAUI'S MOST EXTRAORDINARY OCEANFRONT RETREAT

Poised at the tip of a coveted oceanfront point on Honokeana (Turtle) Cove in Napili, this extraordinary 3,900sf Polynesian-inspired pole house offers rare, direct ocean access and more than 100 feet of dramatic Pacific frontage. Located within an intimate, gated enclave on Papaua Place—home to just ten residences—this property enjoys exceptional privacy. With 5 Bedrooms, a Workspace Loft with a Queen Sofabed and 4 Bathrooms, this home easily accommodates 10.

From your private oceanfront deck, watch surfers carve waves over the tide pools below, spot humpback whales breaching in the Maui Channel during season, and end each evening with sunsets so vivid they feel personal. This is not just a vacation rental — it is a living postcard of the real Hawaii.

Designed by renowned architect Frank Stiller and originally built in 1981 for noted Maui restaurateur Rob Thibaut (Duke's, Kimo's, Jake's, Leilani's, Hula Grill), the residence is a celebration of authentic island craftsmanship, featuring rich Hawaiian koa wood, lava rock accents, and a timeless connection to its natural surroundings.

A spacious wraparound lanai captures sweeping unobstructed 200+ ocean degree views and year-round sunsets, spanning from Lanai and Molokai to Kapalua. The Pacific Ocean becomes your daily playground, with surfing, snorkeling with sea turtles, swimming, and seasonal whale watching directly offshore.

Conveniently located near world-class golf courses, luxury resorts and spas, acclaimed dining, and the legendary waters of Honolua Bay, this one-of-a-kind oceanfront offering presents an unparalleled Maui lifestyle—where architecture, location, and nature converge seamlessly.

SPACE & COMFORT
Five generous bedrooms, a loft with sofa bed, and four full baths provide ample room for families and groups to gather together and retreat in privacy. Every bedroom features traditional louvered windows that invite the warm Hawaiian trade winds inside. Rare Koa and red eucalyptus wood doors glide smoothly into the walls, dramatically opening the home to the outdoors. Soaring high-beam ceilings, spacious rooms, and natural wood finishes throughout deliver the authentic Polynesian architectural experience few visitors ever find.

Both the primary and a guest bedroom are positioned to enjoy mesmerizing ocean views and the soothing sounds of the sea. Additional features include a game room, sauna, jacuzzi, and an upper-level observation room ideal for whale watching, yoga, or a private study.

The modern, fully stocked kitchen and generous dining area comfortably seat eight to ten guests. A workspace upstairs in the loft offers a large desk and a sweeping water view — perfect for those who need to stay connected while soaking in paradise.

THE WATER IS YOUR BACKYARD
Locals will tell you the snorkeling just steps from your front door is the finest on Maui. You are on Turtle Cove — where green sea turtles glide beneath the surface alongside dazzling varieties of tropical fish. Surf, swim, and snorkel directly from the front yard. You will not find this kind of immediate, effortless ocean access anywhere else on the island.

World-class shopping and the legendary resort corridor of Kaanapali are just minutes away, as are four championship golf courses.

Only ten homes share this exclusive private gated street. Papaua Paradise is the premier address in Napili — maximum seclusion, yet effortlessly close to everything.

Aloha and welcome to Paradise!

Everything outstanding! Snorkeling with the turtles right off the villa. Fantastic views of the coast. Gorgeous sunsets. Plenty of room for our group of nine. (ages 15-82). Loved watching the surfers most any time of the day. Sunset cocktail hour every evening. What could be better! We all agreed that it’s been an ideal week.

Brad was helpful and responsive which was much appreciated. The location is truly amazing. Seeing turtles swim in the bay next to the house every day and getting to snorkel right there is special. We didn’t see amazing sunsets bc of Molokai blocking the view but that’s probably a time of the year thing! Still so lovely and hearing the waves crash 24/7 is amazing. I didn’t realize there was no AC at all-that was one downside for us as it was a pretty hot week in the beginning of June. We made do, just a couple of the family struggled as they were used to being in full A/C most of the time. The house itself is large and comfortable-some might find it a bit outdated but it was totally fine for us. It was the most well stocked VRBO place I’ve stayed in, from ziploc bags and aluminum foil to spices and pots/pans, appliances etc. The spa only work 3 of the 6 days we were there but it was nice to have when it worked. It’s pricey, but you are paying for the amazing location. Overall we had a lovely time and would recommend the house just be aware there are not even window AC units if you are going in the summertime.

Wonderful & relaxing stay

I treated my husband to a retreat to celebrate his birthday. This property and room did not disappoint. The room was well-appointed and situated in a great location. We walked to both Kapalua and Napili beaches making great use of the beach chairs that were provided. With two pools in the property I never found them to be too crowded. Plus watching the sunset while sitting in the bluff is a real treat. I would love to stay here again!

Great place to stay

This was our third stay at Napili Shores since 2010 and it’s our favourite place to be on Maui. The condo was as advertised and our property manager Kim was awesome to deal with. The property is well looked after and all the staff are friendly and helpful. The on-site rental shop is run by a really nice local family and they have everything you could need for a fun day at the beach or on the water. Napili bay is beautiful and great for swimming or playing in the water. Honokeana Bay to the south and Kapalua Bay to the north are both very good snorkelling spots too and are only a short walk away.

Nice to be able to walk down to the beach. Just a couple of blocks from the coastal trail. very nice trip. Great for a couple or young families. Was very quiet. Awesome time.

Dated and grungy looking.

The location of the resort was perfect. The actual room was dated and not the cleanest. There were a few things not working and the house cleaner/handyman was difficult to get a hold of and he did not return to fix things. Dishes were dirty and we needed to wash everything we used prior to using them. The studio was well stocked with everything you would need, including spices, shampoo, paper products and many more items. Theresa was great at communicating.

Beautifully remodeled unit. We have stayed at Napili Shores multiple times and love the location. There were/are a few issues we encountered that we had not had on previous stays: 1)Noisy loud talking neighbors- this started early and continued beyond “Quiet Times.) 2)Auto alarms sounding at all hours. 3)Unattended small children in pool and hot tub. 4)Shower head has had flow restrictor removed - it stings to take shower. Need to replace restrictor. 5) Darkening drapes are difficult to impossible to open & close without grabbing at top near track. Impossible for shorter person to open or close. 6) Need chairs to sit indoors.

Napili Shores Rocks!

We had been staying at the Kapalua golf villas the previous two evenings and the unit we were in was miserable. Fortunately for us there was an opening at Napili Shores resort and we grabbed it. What a difference! Check in was quick, parking was easy and accessible; room was clean and Air Conditioned; access to all pools was done without fobs and access to beach (Napili Bay) was a brief 3 minute walk around the end of the property. There are 2 restaurants on the property and one down the beach. Perfect location for taking it easy and close to town and store as well. Napili Shores was exactly what we were looking for! Will visit again!

We would appreciate a bathroom update: a bath mat and rug, a clean shower mat, and a heavier shower curtain so water doesn't leak out. A louvered screen window in the front door would help with air circulation.

We will return

The owners are thoughtful of what you may need. We appreciated having snorkeling gear there and used it both days we were there. We cooked our meals, but there was a binder with lots of local restaurant ideas and other activities of interest. We tried a few of the activities and found the hints helpful. My husband enjoyed the candy treats that were left there for us! The towels and bathroom mats were very nice...I know that's a small detail but an important one. THe grounds are nicely kept and the beach and other things were very convenient. We will definitely go again in the future, and recommend the place to others.
