The ocean view was great from the lanai! - great location and very convenient to all the sites on the north shore! Having the coffee shop and restaurant on the premises was a great bonus. We enjoyed our stay at this older hotel that continues to be well maintained.

Great location! Fantastic views and proximity to world class beaches. Definitely the place to stay if you want to experience the quiet garden island life. A few whiffs of the property septic system came a went but nothing overbearing or uncommon for the north island. I would return.

Gorgeous views. Sleep to crashing waves. On site restaurant Gaia is excellent. The condo is not new ... its worn. Everything works, we loved it, but if your accustom to 4 or 5 star hotels you need to lower the bar a bit.

This is a beautiful secluded rental right on the beach. It is a bit rustic with minimal amenities but you don’t need much when you are on the beach. Be aware that it is past the Hanalei bridge which has a possibility of flooding and closing the road. This was a stressor for our stay since we were there during an unusual Kona storm, but the bridge remained open and we were told it rarely happens. Overall I recommend if you are looking for a more secluded vacation.

Our stay was everything we hoped for. The view was fantastic, and the unit was nice and well-stocked with cooking supplies and recreational gear. We swam at the beach just west of the complex, it was safe in most conditions and there was some nice coral. Dinner at the Opakapaka was great. We have real affection for this place now and hope to return sometime.

Beautiful location…amazing views…sea breezes.If you are looking for a busy or wild property, this is not for you. We enjoyed the space of the apartment, the restaurant/bar and the pool/hot-tub. Did I mention the view…and the north coast location? I hope to be back

Incredible views from the balcony/ deck overlooking the Pacific Ocean!!! Fantastic location with close proximity to Tunnels Beach, Haena SP, Napali SP, and the town of Hanalei.

Overall reviews of this property from others are pretty acurate with these additional comments about our stay: -The wonderful view of the ocean was spoiled by dirty windows and screens. -A strong septic/sewer smell around the building at times depending on the breeze.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 March 2026
Mahalo for taking the time to leave your honest feedback. We sincerely apologize for the difficulties you experienced. Although the windows and screens are washed biweekly, the oceanfront location means salt buildup happens quite quickly. Additionally, the resort is currently upgrading and modernizing the septic system, which is the culprit of the unpleasant smells mentioned. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with an updated experience in the future, and we're wishing you safe travels on your future adventures. Aloha! 🌺
