About this property

Tiki Home - Unique Custom Home Steps to the Beach and Town

Tiki Home was voted one of VRBO's Vacation Rentals of the year for 2026. The only one in the state of Hawaii and one of only 15 vacation rentals nationwide!

If you are staying on Kauai there is not a better location then right in Hanalei. Voted one of the top beaches in the world it truly is one of the most beautiful places you will ever visit. As for homes in Hanalei, you will not find any home like this one. A custom 4500 square foot home with very unique woodwork and artistic funky flair. The open upstairs floor plan is a wide open area of 2400 square feet (the living room is larger than most homes in Hanalei). Custom Ohi'a beams and Tiki carved beams throughout the house accentuate the Island paradise. The house also incorporates lava rock in various locations and kids love the Pirates of the Caribbean like theme. Located on a very quiet cul-de-sac in the heart or Hanalei. This is a prime location, just 700 feet from the world class beach of Hanalei bay and equally close to the town center of Hanalei. The house is at the end of a long driveway set away from the street. Listen to the crashing winter surf, or island birds just outside your window. Partial ocean views from the back deck, and great mountain & waterfall views from the kitchen and living room. High speed redundant WiFi

Great Location, Upstairs living area is actually bigger and more open that it even appears in photos. We were a group of 2 families and had way more space than we could use. There were 2 additional families staying in a nearby home and we could easily accommodate all 4 families for dinner or an escape from a passing rain shower.

We really enjoyed our week at Tiki Home. The 4 bedrooms downstairs were all sparkling clean, spacious and comfortable. The upstairs great room was a fun and comfortable place to spend time, with a fully stocked kitchen, multiple seating areas, and great natural light.Hanalei Bay beach is just a few minutes walk away, and the shops and restaurants in town are also very walkable. We appreciated the availability of beach towels, boogie boards, cruiser bikes and snorkeling gear. We definitely hope to stay here again. Mahalo, Greg.

We had the BEST stay at Tiki Home. Greg was the most awesome and communicative host. The house was just a few minutes walking distance to town and to the beach - could not be more convenient. Beds were super comfy. The shared living space upstairs was a total highlight for our family between daytime excursions. Would love love love to come back and stay again. Mahalo

The kitchen was well equipped and very organized. We cooked most of our meals with daily fresh fish from the Dolphin. We loved the large open living floor. The carpeted section was particularly good for the 9-month old, and the room to run was particularly good for the 2- year old, plus all the adults could keep an eye on them both easily. There was a baby gate to cover the stairs. Beautiful views with windows all around enabled us to enjoy the tropics even while inside. Loved the easy walk into town and to the beach, and the beach gear.

Unique home with an awesome open living space on second floor. Great area to hang out with family and a wonderful 360 view of the surrounding area. Plenty of louvered windows upstairs to ventilate house even in July. Location is perfect for access to either the town or the beach.

Our family of six had an amazing time in the Tiki house! We spent a couple of days lounging around in the house as the home and surrounding view of the mountains and plants and trees was enjoyable without having to go anywhere else! The beach is a short walk away and the town of Hanalei is almost around the corner from the house. Dont get me wrong, we did a lot more on our vacation, but coming back home to enjoy the Tiki house was a highlight of our vacation!

About the host

Hosted by Greg Pronko

Host profile image
We love Hanalei and purchased this home to be able to enjoy it throughout the year. We use the home 4-5 times a year ourselves. So unlike most vacation home owners we are constantly upgrading the home and keeping it maintained against the elements. We know the island well and can help make sure you have an enjoyable stay. Our goal is not to maximize profits but to make sure the right people find the right place to stay even if that means suggesting other places to stay.

Mahalo, Greg & Michele

Why they chose this property

This is the Number 1 beach in all of America. It is one of the most beautiful places on earth and so easy to get to compared to other similar destinations like Tahiti, Bali, Thailand, Vietnam etc. We bought this home because we love to surf and be healthy. Hanalei is perfect for enjoying the outdoors, whether you are surfing, paddleboarding, hiking, canoeing, kayakiing, golfing, running, biking, etc. It is also quiet and relaxing to the soul. The food here is one of the main attractions for us. We skip all the conventional stores and eat almost entirely off of local produce when we come to Hanalei. It is our 'detox' from our stressful lives in San Francisco. Eating live real food grown fresh and organically on the island is amazing. Both the fruits and vegetables seem to have more nutrients and flavor then anything we have had from a conventional store. For protein we also stay local... The Hanalei Fish Market has fresh daily caught fish straight from local water, and they are also now selling local Kauai Beef that is raised humanely on a beautiful open range ranch just up the road from our house. This is the real deal! Best burger you have ever had type of meat. Once you visit Hanalei for the first time you will totally understand why anyone would want to own a home here. It is the place.

What makes this property unique

LOCATION: The best part of the Tiki Home for us is the fact that it is so centrally located. At the end of our street is the Saturday farmers market that has some of the best produce in the world... so fresh! Just around the corner from the home is Pine Trees beach and equal distance is the little path the locals call 'The Cape' Walking into town is just as easy as walking to the beach. Town is a short 700 foot walk from the home. All of these are even shorter on a bike! The best restaurants on the north Shore are just 700 foot walk. Think about how easy that is if you want to have a Mai Tai at dinner and don't want to be driving all the way back to Princeville or Haena. Hanalei is voted number 1 beach in all of America so many times now that they retired it to permanent status. If you don't stay at the Tiki Home you should at least stay in Hanalei.

ARTISTIC & UNIQUE: The TIki Home is funky cool! This place is built like no other home. Kids love the lava rock entrance and Lava Rock shower in the Master Bedroom. The upstairs open floor plan is really cool. The home has custom carved beams everywhere inside and out.

QUIET: Hanalei is a very sleepy town, so it is very quiet at night. Tiki Home is the place to be if you are looking for quiet solitude and peace. However be aware that most neighbors around Hanalei get pretty annoyed at late night partying, so if that is the type of place you are looking for this might not be the best fit.

AMMENITIES: We use the home ourselves pretty often. We live in San Francisco and fly over using miles several times a year. That means we like to keep nice stuff in the home because we use it too, especially the kitchen. It is difficult fighting the elements in Hanalei with the ocean air and north shore rains at night but we hope we are slowly winning the battle compared to other homes which can get run down if owners are not keeping up. Being able to visit often helps with this battle.
