The perfect Hanalei location and house for our family of 4. We had a lovely week there in late August. A quick walk or drive over to both public access points to Hanalei beach. Restaurants and groceries are also within a 10 minute walk.The house was clean, spacious, tastefully decorated and stocked with everything we needed for the beach and for cooking meals at home. If only all vacation rentals were run this professionally.The only thing we wished for was better fans. The house cools off nicely at night and the lack of A/C didn’t bother us, but better ceiling fans in the two smaller bedrooms would have helped. Hanalei is truly one of the most beautiful and special places in the world, and we were honored to call it home for a week. Hope to come again someday!

Wonderful home in Hanalei

Thank you for writing a review of our house and for giving it a score of 10 points. The short walk to Hanalei Bay and Hanalei Pier, rated the second best beach in Hawaii by Hawaii Magazine, is a unique feature of this house. We, too, enjoy preparing food in the kitchen and eating outside on the lanai (deck), listening to the birds and watching the clouds drift across the blue Hawaiian sky. We're so glad you enjoyed your time on Kauai, and we hope you'll return to our home again. Mahalo! The Owners.

Fabulous Stay

Our family had an amazing time in Hanalei. The house was less than five minutes from the beach, which the kids just loved. Cute little town, activities all over the island if you feel like driving a little ways. Very, very relaxing and the food we had was decent too. I would come back in a heartbeat!

We are so glad that your family enjoyed Hanalei and our house. Hanalei Bay is perfect for families because it is one of the few beaches on Kauai with a sandy bottom (no lava rock or coral) deeper than 10’ below the water surface. We hope you’ll return to visit again soon! The Owners

You can check out the beach from the front lanai and be in the water in 5 minutes.
