The location of this property is what stands out the most. We followed the instructions from a local friend, who grew up on Kauai. The advice was to stay as close as possible to the beach. Lo and behold we went for it and it could not have been more than 4-minutes from the front door the the ocean. We were with my three children ages 14-8 and all of them felt very much at home with heading out to the beach at any hour during the day, coming back for a snack, and walking into town. The home itself could use an update, but for the price and the location it was just perfect. I reached out to the property manager in advance and was assured the cleaning crew had been recently changed and not to worry. I thought they did a very decent job. I would recommend a new set of towels and sheets; low cost and a big difference for renters. As someone who rents my own property, I know this makes a huge difference and is much appreciated. But again, for this mom who wanted ease and comfort (and laundry!) this really did our family justice. I would highly recommend. Aloha!

Stayed here with my family of five and had an absolutely fantastic time. Hanalei is magical, and this house is right in the heart of Hanalei with a convenient one block walk or bike ride to the beach. Property manager was super responsive when we had a problem with the bike in the garage, and he had it fixed and returned within a couple hours. Garage is stocked with many useful beach toys (chairs, umbrellas, coolers, snorkeling, gear, boogie boards, surfboard…you name it). Would definitely come back and stay here again.

Property was accurately represented in the listing. We traveled with two young children, so it was great that everything was not brand new kitchen had all the things I needed and the location was perfect for us.

We love the location of this property - within walking distance of everything. That said, this property needs a thorough and detailed cleaning. There were black cow webs on the ceilings, thick dust on most of the light fixtures and fans, both installed and moveable, the kitchen cabinets, drawers, and the drawers contents, etc.
