Just as described in the listing. Loved being just a short walk to the beach and the shops. Place has everything you could need, including AC in the bedrooms which was helpful in April.

Overall a great stay. Location is excellent. The carpet in the front room could use a deep clean or be replaced, smells like animal pee. The shower head in the master bath is pretty worn down to the point we just used the front bathroom. The dryer also didn’t work but thankfully we air dried our towels.

The check in process was clear and effective. The house was great for a family of 4 adults. Kitchen was spacious and well stocked. The weather was mild and we did not have to use AC much. We like that this house is about 10 to 15 minutes walking distance from Hanalei town. Access to the beach was easy. We highly recommend this home and had a great stay there!

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.
