About this property

TVNC # 1161 Beautiful views toward Hanalei Bay and the adjacent mountains

TVNC # 1161 Beautiful mountain and lush garden views through a tropical prism. These will be your first impressions and lasting memories of this welcoming home. The Hanalei Vista House is an all cedar, rustic home built 15 feet off the ground which enhances views of Hanalei Bay and the adjacent mountains. A wrap around lanai is positioned to especially create opportunities to savor a Na'pali sunset while enjoying a bbq or glass of wine. (OR BOTH)
A Corian countertop is the only thing separating the designated chef from enjoying the same views as other guests thru the sliding glass doors. The kitchen is modern and user friendly with a gas range and most items needed to create a multi course meal The primary bedroom has a tiled full bath. The second full tiled bath is convenient to the other bedrooms. There are vaulted ceilings throughout and the loft provides extra space for last minute guests or older kids but is not recommended for younger children. A 3 to 10 minute drive brings you to golf or shopping in Princeville or one of the countless north shore beaches adjacent to Hanalei
This vacation rental is completely owner operated and has a Kaua'i County vacation rental certificate : TVNC # 1161 NOTE: Should going to Ke'e Beach or hiking the Kalalau Trail be in your plans. be sure to research all requirements for permitting , entrance to Ha'ena State Park and shuttle service and costs. Try goha'ena.com on the internet and plan 30 days in advance. FINAL NOTE: listed base rate is for 2 guests and each additional guest is $12.50 per night per guest. Large parties will incur an extra cleaning deposit which is refundable if housekeeping does not invoice above the base $275 cleaning fee. FINAL FINAL NOTE: this house is arguably the best value for a 3/2 single family dwelling in the P'ville/ Hanalei locale but it is one house removed from the Kuhio Hwy. There is road noise, most notably during the day but dwindles to a trickle in the evening and night. Some guests find it annoying while others feel positive aspects of the property vastly outweigh this negative.

Liked: Location
Location was great in regard to proximity to Hanalei and key area in the island. The noise of the road kind of took away from feeling like we were immersed in nature, but still had beautiful landscape to look at from the house.The house has plenty of sleeping availability. However the furniture and everything is extremely dated. I don’t mind old furniture if it’s comfortable, but key pieces of the home could use some love or updating. Including pillows!The loft also is a bit dangerous. Our daughter was sitting on the bed and ended up falling trough the opening - which then took us to the ER. Luckily only had a minor concussion, but still not an ideal set up, even for older kids.All in all, we liked the house, but the lack of updates and being so close to the road would probably keep us from coming back.Mahalo.

Response from VrboOwner on 26 March 2026
Aloha, I appreciate your review. I take vey seriously negative comments. The choice of a vacation rental should enhance your island experience and I regret that the house did not do that.. First, the issue of the loft} in 25 years as a vacation rental,, the loft has never been an issue and is a plus since with 2 twin beds it provides extra sleeping space. When prospective guests ask about it for children , I say that generally I would not recommend it for children under 7 or 8. . Your daughter is 8 so it seems like it should have been appropriate for her to use. I am grateful that it was not a more serious event.. I am considering options to address this concern. The house is on a parcel that abuts the Kuhio Hwy but is located at the rear of the parcel. The road noise can be an issue depending on a persons perspective. Most guests feel the views and lush gardens make up for the adjacency to the road. I try and make the photos accurately depict the house. The house is furnished with mostly vintage and antique pieces. and I wondered if that was "dated" I appreciated that you clarified that it was actually specific to the couch, which you characterized as "uncomfortable". I will give that some thought. I truly regret that the house did not meet expectations and I hope on your next Kaua'i visit you are able to find a rental that more closely aligns with your expectations. With Aloha, Jane

Great proximity to Hanalei - loved the cedar

The house was under ten minutes away from the quaint Hanalei. The cedar all over the home gives off a great vibe of old Hawaii.We will definitely rent again when we come back.

The house was very charming and the perfect location for all we did. The views from the deck were stunning. Perfect place for morning coffee and to watch the birds. Communication with the owner was very good. I would stay at this house again. Close to the beach, restaurants, food trucks and shopping.

Comfort in Paradise

This house was large, charming, clean, and so comfortable for me and my family. The high, beamed ceilings and many windows made it feel spacious and bright. The highlight was the wrap-around porch with stunning views of Hanalei Bay, mountains, and lush, tropical foliage. I would 100% recommend this house!

Lovely house! Great layout!We lost the internet, the owner Jane responded immediately. It came back on the next day.2 things though: when booking, it isn’t made clear that the property is all on the (UK) 1st floor (US) 2nd floor, it’s quite a big staircase.The TV is old and useless. We manage once to get one channel. Jane buy a new TV and provide a crib sheet on how to operate it.

Response from VrboOwner on 15 October 2025
Aloha, I sincerely hope that the issues you mention did not adversely impact your overall experience at the Hanalei Vista House and more broadly with the north shore. My thoughts: First, the third sentence of the property description clearly states that " the house is 15 feet off the ground which:greatly enhances the views". Next, Spectrum is the main provider of tech service on Kaua'i and they provide less than stellar service. Service outages are frequent and when service is restored it often requires rebooting on site to restore service/ This was true in this case. In the tech world I guess a 6 year old tv is "ancient" and I will certainly visit the issue of purchasing a new one as soon as I return to Kaua'i. That said, I suspect the problem was not the tv but the strength of the signal from Spectrum. With Aloha, Jane
