We checked into the Napili Villas in a 2br which was an eplus exchange from a 1br MMO and couldn't be more pleased. The II unit code is ZZTQ Ocean Front was honored and here is the view we have from the 5th floor:

You were really fortunate, as the 5th and 7th floors are the only 2 floors in Napili with floor to ceiling windows and a lanai that you can see through when looking down (i.e., the part beneath the top of the railing is not solid concrete). We own ocean front and I always request either the 5th or 7th floors for this reason. Enjoy your stay.

Very nice! I'm hoping for an eplus exchange into a 2 bedroom. Blow some pixie dust in my direction

I believe the OP's unit is in the stack with room numbers ending in 01, which is the end of the building nearest to the old section. Although it is a great view, it is actually the worst ocean front view in Napili as it is at an angle to the ocean. By Maui Ocean Club standards, it should really be ocean view, even though I agree that the view is gorgeous. When we give our room preferences as an ocean front owner, we always ask not be placed in that stack.

Yes, it is in the 01 stack & does angle to the ocean. I agree it's not the best ocean front view in the Napili tower, but I was pleased with the view. It was an II exchange & I was very happy with the views of the ocean & mountains behind the tower.

I'm so pleased that you are enjoying your time at MOC -- it's a great property and I'm excited to be there later this month.
I've seen BocaBoy comment before on the floor 5/7 windows and lanai railings in Napili (and floors 5/7/9 in Lahaina) but I've never been in one of those units. Can you post a picture to try and capture the additional visibility you get from the railing? Thanks very much!
Best,
Greg

Here is a picture I included in my Smugmug gallery a few years ago. I guess my secret is out now...

Good Morning Greg, here is the view while sitting on the lanai:
I will post a better picture later in the afternoon with better sun light.

Oh I agree. The point of my comment was only that a gorgeous view like this is not even one of the better ocean front views in Napili. MOC is one resort where ocean front and ocean view actually mean what they say. No dumpster or parking lot views with more desirable labels because the ocean you can't see is not too far away.

Thank you both, those are impressive pictures with the open railing. MOC is a great property and those units would be even more special. Thanks again for posting them!

Hello CFR,
Ocean view or ocean front. We are very pleased with this unit. I will take the "worst" ocean front unit in the Napili villas any day.
I am happy for you that you are enjoying your view but not the noise of the jet skis in front of the resort. We all should object but that means that we have to start writing letters to the county and most owners will not bother.
The County should, at least, rotate the noise from one resort to the other and not every year in front of the same resort.
May I ask you a question? I see your notebook on a little table in front of the window. Does that come with your condo as we do not have this in the Lahaina tower in the 2 BR condos last year. It would be nice to have a small portable desk to put the notebook on. Just curious.
TIA for your reply but there is no hurry.

Hello iconnections, that little desk is from the lock off room. When we stayed in the lahaina tower last year the same desk/table was also in the lock off side.

Exercising E+
How far in front of your arrival date did you exercise your E-Plus? (Curious as to when we should be looking.)

Thanks to a sighting by oceanvps I was able to get a 2br upgrade into MM1 from a 1br MMO 11 days before check in. Exact same check in dates. Very lucky.
