Family Vacation

The house was lovely with lots of character. The location enabled us to make a fairly quick walk to the beach and an even quicker walk to town. We enjoyed the covered porch and the big yard. We did struggle a bit with no ac especially in the afternoon, but that’s nobody’s fault-we knew it going in, and it did cool down at night. We had a great stay.

Amazing house, great location

The house was great and the location was incredible. A quick walk to the beach and into town. The house had chairs, an umbrella, and a wagon for easy transport to the beach. The outside shower was very useful to clean up and keep sand out of the house.

Fun on the North Shore

This is a wonderful property in Hanalei. Easy walking distance to both the beach, and "town." The private yard area is awesome, and the house is well stocked with towels, beach gear, and all the things you need to cook and socialize - even two different grills!The only downside is that this property is located on the main road. Since the house does not have AC (which I prefer), you need to keep your windows open, and acccordingly, you will have road noise. This really didn't bother us (it's not a freeway), but it might bother others - so be aware.

Kauai north shore vacation

Gorgeous house and property with great location to explore north shore. Very clean and well stocked with lots of room to spread out. The only negative is poor lighting in the dining and living room. Highly recommend and will stay again when we return to Kauai.

Great stay in Hanalei!

We had three families stay at the house for a week and had a great time. Great location and the house is well appointed. And the property manager and host were both great, answering questions quickly and provided everything that we needed!

A great getaway for a family who can't often get together

The home was just as described with beds for everyone and lots of space for hanging out. The beach gear provided by the host was very good and we put it to good use. The beach was close and easy to get to and the teenagers enjoyed how close it was to town. We cooked in most of the time and took food to the beach for lunches. We really enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend this place.

Perfect place for a perfect place!

The house is in an excellent location in beautiful Hanalei, and is stunning itself. It was perfect for our large family group of nine people. Super close to the beach and shops. Hilary was a joy to deal with during the booking and check in process, and it was a treat to meet her in person when we checked out. A truly aloha experience.

We couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay at Hanalei Bay. This home is quality, pure Hawaiian, impeccable—inside and out—-full of amenities. The owners were quick to respond. We had the BEST experience so far with VRBO. Thanks so much!

Loved this home! Great common areas for hanging out together and plenty of space for teens to escape! Road was definitely loud but the beach and town are both close. We read there are over 450,000 roosters on the island so we won’t even complain about them😉. The property manager, Hilary, was very kind, responsive and easy to work with!! I would come back to stay here again!

Amazing!!!!

We had a great, very comfortable stay in this beautiful home! So close to the beach, we did the about 5 minute walk to the beach at least once daily. Hanalei town was extremely close as well, groceries, coffee and shave ice from JoJo's were our most frequent walks. The house was very clean and well stocked with everything needed to enjoy our vacation! The yard was so beautiful and full of many different plants & trees. Hilary the house manager was super responsive and super helpful! We'd love to stay there again if we ever get back to Kauai!!!

Beautiful traditional Hawaiian home.

This gorgeous home has amazing views of the mountains, beautiful teak wood floors and interior, beautiful bedrooms and a wonderful living room for family gatherings. It’s located a block or two off the beach and town and our family loved the ease of daily life while staying at the house. Very relaxing! It was also fun to enjoy the bounty from the fruit trees on the property. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Life is better in Hanalei :)

This was one of our favorite places to stay in Hanalei. The walk to the beach was short and easy, and the walk to town even more so. There was plenty of room for everyone and the house was well stocked. Communication was quick and responsive. Hilary was wonderful in helping out. Can’t wait to visit again!
