About this property

Minutes Walk to Hanalei Bay, beach, & town w/AC in bed rooms

This upscale beach home with AC in the bedrooms is part of a duplex. A short stroll from the beach, granite counters, travertine floors, Hawaiian style furnishings, top line appliances, stainless steel BBQ & outdoor shower in your private back yard await you. Cool and relaxing, convenient to all the North Shore beaches. Standard occupancy is 4.

A two-minute stroll will bring you to Waioli Beach Park in the center of Hanalei Bay. A few blocks away lies the Hanalei town center with eclectic shops, beach toy rentals (masks, boards, kayaks and bicycles), market, fish store and excellent restaurants.

It's all in the neighborhood, and Hanalei is a great neighborhood with a fabulous bay, beautiful mountains, waterfalls and rainbows. These are the best rates in Hanalei for this quality and proximity to the bay.

With all the Hanalei has to offer, well maintained calming space so close to the bay & Hanalei town, this is a fabulous value for a larger group & multi-generational families.

There are 2 bedrooms, one king, 2 twins, and loft with full size bed for younger folks & 2 full baths. A hot and cold outside shower for after the beach is a wonderful plus. Listed rate is for the standard occupancy of 4, but home can accommodate up to 5. Extra guest fee for the 5th person is $20/night + tax per person. This fee is collected after booking. There is a limit of only 5 guests total.

Please be aware that when you book this house or any accommodations by the ocean in Hawaii, not on a bluff, you are booking in a tsunami evacuation zone. Evacuation instructions will be in the house and notice of the tsunami evacuation zone will be part of your contract. Also please know that we cannot accommodate charging of electric vehicles at this property.

Wonderful Stay in Hanalei

We had a wonderful time in Hanalei! The home is just around the corner from the beach (<5min walk) and was a wonderful retreat to eat, sleep, and relax when not at the beach. We would absolutely stay here again during our next trip to this magical place!

Great views, quiet stay

A great stay overall. The house is on the smaller side, but very cosy and comfortable (we are a family of 4). It has great views to the mountains with a short walk to the beach. If you are up to for a longer walk, you can get to BigSave and other shops in about 10min (use Weke Rd, as Kuhio Hwy doesn't have a sidewalk in some places).

Loved the property and proximity to the beach and Hanalei town. The property is on the highway but it is not loud. The views of the mountains from the front door and kitchen window are spectacular. House was very clean and comfortable. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Great spot by the beach

This is a great spot in Hanalei. Walking distance to the beach, we went everyday. Beautiful view of the mountains and waterfalls out the kitchen window. Kitchen was well equipped, we cooked in every night. Outdoor shower was a huge bonus after beach time, and the outdoor grill was great. We will be back for sure.

Nice location

Clean, great back yard, kitchen has everything you need. Great to AC in the downstairs bedrooms as the breeze just did not go through the living room and kitchen. Fans helped. Parking is easy and very close to town.

Perfect Hanalei Bay Getaway

The property is well equipped and set up for a long family getaway. We stayed for 7 days and didn't want to leave. The house is spacious, and the bedrooms are comfy and air conditioned. It's very well located... a 10 minute walk to organic and regular markets, and a 5 minute walk to a great swimming & surfing beach, and 15 minute drive to snorkeling at Tunnels beach to the west or Anini beach to the east, and a close walk or drive to fantastic restaurants if you don't want to cook. From our experience, this is the best side of the island, and this house is a perfect home base from which to experience it.

Good things first: Property manager Ray was very helpful and quick to respond. Very close to beach and beautiful views from kitchen window. Unfortunates: outdated and kind of dingy decor; house was very hot and humid when we arrived-I know it’s difficult when trying to save electricity, however, it would be nice if the air conditioning was on and the fans were going to make it pleasant. We found roaches under the sink when we arrived. We stay in many rentals and typically there more supplies. We were only given one extra trash bag; there was a very cheap bar of soap in the restrooms and no other shampoos. Shower head in primary was old and clogged. Carpets stained and dingy. Beach chairs are old and rusty - stained our swimsuits. Location’s great but the home could use a little more.

Great home and location!

Great home and location. However, the loft is not usable as they need another ac unit up there. They shouldnt advertise it as a sleeping area. It must be over 100 degrees up there. The twin beds were too small for my 22-year-old so recommend they exchange those for extra-long twins so adult siblings can sleep in the same room. Lots of pots and pans, dishes, newer washer and dryer. Great distance to the beach, coffee, restaurants and stores.

The perfect house for the perfect vacation!

We normally stay in hotels but decided to try a house this time and we are so glad we did! We were married in Hanalei 23 years ago and wanted to bring our teenage daughters to see the area. The house was perfect for our family of four. The girls had their own room and bathroom which was great and the proximity from the house to the beach and town were both amazing! The house was so well stocked and clean. And, it was quiet except for an occasional rooster. LOL We enjoyed cooking at the house and we used the beach chairs and towels for our daily visit to the beach. The washer and dryer were clean and new and convenient. We had everything we needed and could not have asked for a better experience at this property. We will definitely be back.

The house was a great home for us while on our trip to Kauai! It was clean and well supplied, a block from the beach, and a 15 minute walk from the shops and restaurants downtown Hanalei! The property owner was quick to help us when one of the AC units wasn’t working when we first arrived. The outdoor shower was great for all the post beach and activity rinses!

The management was attentive and responsive. The location to the beach was great. The house needs work. The stove is really hot so most of our food burned. The front sliding glass door doesnt lock and barely closes. There are red bugs allThroughout the kitchen and living area. They attack everything. The kids water bottle was covered with them in the morning. We wouldn’t stay there again unfortunately

Needs Some TLC

Hanalei’s an amazing place and this rental puts you close enough to town and the beach - but it could be much better if the owner put a little more care into the unit. The attractive exterior is newer than others and faces an incredible Mountain View on the main road, but the layout of the oddly designed unit only affords the person at the kitchen sink (and front bedroom) this striking vista. The best? The price was right and there’s plenty of space in the open concept living area. The newish rattan furniture is attractive. The washer and dryer worked perfectly and is helpful for a Hawaii trip. “Not so great” - many parts are beyond worn and need replacement: pillows, bedding, mattresses, and tiny random beach towels.But the worst was the beach accessories closet - it was a messy, ignored area, littered with rusted chairs, leftover junk from previous guests, and sharp rusted beach umbrellas. It was emblematic of no one putting care and thought into this potentially great rental. There’s also one sad exposed light bulb hanging over the dining table where there desperately needs to be a ceiling fan & light. But the biggest negative is the claim of “AC.” This unit only has ac in the two bedrooms, NOT any in the voluminous open concept living space. This, combined with a poor cross ventilation, means your living area is HOT. At 82, with fans, it was still and HOT. Listing needs update. Centipedes in both bedrooms & ants in one also. Not awful - just needs attention.

Great mid winter break getaway

Our family of four had a great time spending mid winter break here. The house was clean, the kitchen well equipped and everything just as shown in the listing. It's a quick stroll to the wonderful beach and a longer walk (with kids) to the town center and pier. A good assortment of towels, beach towels and beach gear was available at the house. The AC in the bedrooms were nice to have. Beds were on the soft side and the host didn't provide shampoo or body wash. I hope we'll be able to visit again and I'd recommend this home to a friend.
