Sea House is one of my favorites for breakfast. Went there for Happy Hour last trip and loved it. Parking can be challenging.
Isn't Sea Horse the one that is kind of right over the water and at the Napili Kai Beach Resort? That is where I stayed with my parents when we visited Maui in 1968. At that time the Napili Kai was the resort at the farthest end of the island. I think they may have just been starting to think about developing Kapalua. At that time the name of the restaurant was The Teahouse of the Maui Moon. We only stayed on Maui for a few nights but I remember eating dinner there several times.

Yes. I’ve been there several times for brunch and it’s a good choice.

I definitely want to try the fish and chips at Seahouse Restaurant. We have never been there.

I am trying to be positive about our August trip, but I am not sure we will be able to go. 3 days for a Covid-19 test from a lab that is accepted? I need to ask Kaiser how soon they can get a test done for us.

That's true. Both times we were there, we happened to be staying within walking distance, and in fact next door to The Gazebo. At one of the places (Napili Surf) we had a great second floor OF condo overlooking Napili Bay. If you stepped outside, it was pretty much the same view @luv_maui posted upthread. Very memorable.

Absolutely gorgeous, luv_maui! Thank you for sharing! How are y'all doing now that you're out of quarantine? Are you having a really great time? I'm still kicking myself in the butt for not doing what you're doing! Living vicariously through y'all that are enjoying island life right now.

At sunset tonight

not quite 1 week out of quarantine, so just relaxing by pool, enjoying the sunsets, planning our few weekend dine-out meals. Roy’s will be Sunday nights. Still need to make it to Lahaina Pizza, mama’s ribs, sea house, and Teddy’s burgers. Will go to gazebo‘s weekly too. will try out some other local takeouts as well. Napili pool was actually quite nice yesterday and finally clean. It’s just odd having all 3 Napili pools to ourselves, literally so far. No chair hogs. Gotta wear the mask to & from pool. Will need to ask for bathroom cleaning supplies since tomorrow starts week 4. Will go to Costco / Safeway periodically for more supplies, and will take a couple of nice drives, but since we have time, don’t need to plan ahead. Just going with the flow, reading TUG by the pool, what more could I ask for.

Do you go swimming / snorkeling in the ocean in front of the resort?

Hi! When did the Marriott allow pool usage? Are you able to use the beaches, too? Your photos are gorgeous.
We were there until late April. Once it was at the point where you couldn’t walk along the beach, we decided to come home. We were among the last few villas of the original group that arrived in February. Everything changed around Mid March. It was definitely different but we enjoyed our time until the end. The staff handled everything really well. The weather was perfect and we just loved it. How much longer are you staying?

About middle of June only the Napili pools opened. Just finishing up week 3, or 1 week after quarantine. Will stay 1-4 more weeks. Beaches open. Weekends maybe a dozen surfers in front of Marriott. Although the beaches on weekends just prior to Leodas are literally full of locals. Literally packed cars on the side roads and hundreds of locals

It is surely a different Maui than you are used to. We used to wish we had it to ourselves and our group of close friends, but when they left it was so different. Everyone left in mass around 3/13/20 when the Canadians were called home. It was mass exodus. We decided to stay, And things closed rapidly through the rest of March. We had everything we needed and enjoyed our time. Especially since it was still winter and cold where we came from. We could not use the gym, chaises, pool or even sit or walk along the ocean by the last week of April. That was per the Governor’s order. That was when we decided it was time to head home. It was starting to warm up there and as tough as it was to leave Maui early - We knew it was time. Have a wonderful time. Love your posts and photos.

Even at the height of the quarantine the beaches were packed along the highway. No one on the resort beaches, except some of the Ali’i spring breakers, and they were shagged almost immediately. Random surfers but they couldn’t be on the beach only in the water. How many villas are occupied? I didn’t think they were taking new checkins. One of the occupants wanted to stay an additional week and they were not able to get Accommodations.

Agreed, not much open, restaurant wise or activities, but we are content with pool, beach/walks, view, Very limited restaurants and no crowds. Tomorrow we’ll make it to front street and go to Lahaina Pizza, and see how much of a ghost town it is. Maybe breakfast at Sea House and a stop at Costco ( got some bad watermelons). Easy to social distance in Lahaina / Kaanapal, but Kihei / Kahului much more open and more people. With maybe each timeshare with max/avg just a few rooms occupied, makes It difficult for a restaurant to justify staying open. Interisland quarantine lifted has increased some occupancy with even more on weekends. If covid-19 on mainland continues to get worse, maybe it would be best to stay in Hawaii, but I doubt we’ll stay more than 1-4 more weeks. Have a Small wedding to attend back home in 5 weeks

Detour (had to go further north and drive back to restaurant since it is closed right by Gazebo) to Sea House, but made it here for breakfast

We had the Honolua breakfast and loco moco, both excellent. Too relaxed, forgot to snap a picture of our food

We've enjoyed going to the Sea House for breakfast for so many years I can't remember how long. Each time I would daydream about staying at the resort there. Last year my daughter and family were going to Maui and I convinced her they MUST stay there. Thankfully they only booked three nights there because they got bored at that location.

drove through front street. Very eery with most stores closed up with many boarded up. Some of the few open: Lahaina Pizza, vans, bubba humps, piartisan pizza, a jewelry store, a clothing store. Maybe a few others as we drove by picking up a pizza Lahaina Pizza, yum!

Thanks for the pics. I can see my uncle's condo at the south end of the bay.
Any chance that would be at Napili Surf? We stayed there in 2001 and loved it. Just steps away from the Gazebo. The pics are bringing those memories back!
