About the host

Hosted by mark & carlee thorrington

Host profile image
My parents purchased their dream home in 2008. I am honored to operate and manage the property for renters to enjoy. They knew it was the perfect home for their family of six, which now has expanded to twenty-two with sons and daughters-in-law and twelve grandchildren!

Why they chose this property

Hanalei Bay is our dream location. We had been vacationing in Kauai for some time and were intrigued by buying on the island. Once we stumbled upon Hanalei's beach, we knew we found the location. We have a big family that loves to surf, sunbathe, swim, snorkel, walk/run on the sand, play beach volleyball, and living on the sand was our priority. From the house, the town of Hanalei is an easy walk (3 or 4 blocks), so relaxing is simple as you simply do not need to get into a car until you return to the airport. The Dolphin house fits our expanding nuclear family of 6, and is on the sand. We found our dream!

What makes this property unique

Ocean front property is tough to come by. The large lawn leading to the sand is relaxing. We use the outdoor bbq regularly. We love the wi-fi, and high definition satellite TVs. New Ipod docks built into every bedroom in the house connected to house wide speaker system. We are in close proximity to everything a Hawaii vacation offers.
