We have stayed here several times and its always magnificent in views and cleanliness. The grounds are pristine! The owner was great. Very responsive and even dropped off coffee for us! Helpful information: 1) There isn't a restaurant on site. However there is decent pizza and salad to go. There is also a bar with fabulous drinks and a menu of bar food. No breakfast options. 2) The pool is cold. About temperature of the ocean 3) The facility charged 17.00 a day parking fee, 22.00 a day resort fee, and 50.00 check in fee. 4)The condo kitchen is decently stocked. For marketing planning, it has salt, pepper, and sweetener, coffee. No oil or other condiments 5) Yes, you can hear people in the two attached rooms. It bothered my husband but not me, and there weren't always other guests staying. 6) There's beach gear such as mats, umbrella, boogie boards etc. No need to rent anything! (We didnt snorkle or try that equipment). All in all a very amazing piece of paradise!

So the check-in process made us a little grumpy. You have to park your car in a lot and wait for an attendant with a golf cart to take you and your luggage to the unit. For us this was about a 30 min wait. Full disclosure we are NYers and probably a little impatient lol and we were tired. However, we stepped into the unit and all of our grumpiness faded away! The view is absolutely incredible!! The condo was immaculate and the bedroom was very comfortable. Initially I turned on the split in the BR to cool it down, however, it cooled down so fast we just shut it off until bed time. The property is beautiful and the laundry facility was very convenient. We dined at the restaurant two nights and enjoyed both meals. Would highly recommend this condo and we will be back!! Thank you!

Well updated and very comfortable

We absolutely loved our second time at this condo in two years. Everything is just as we expected the view is incredible. The owner/property manager had made improvements since we were here last it made it very soundproof. See you next year.

We had an amazing stay at Hanalei Bay! It was a short walk to the beach and pool and a quick drive to shops and restaurants. We would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay on the North Shore.

Perhaps the best view in the world from the back deck

Stayed here with my wife and two teenage children. The teens slept in the loft and didn't mind the lack a second bathroom. The main bedroom was perfect, and with A/C the whole place could get comfortable enough at night for a perfect sleep - waking up to views of bay and the mountains. The kitchen had everything you could want, plus it was nicely updated with great appliances, counters and tile. Same for the bathroom which was also nicely designed. This unit is on the quiet end of Hanalei Bay Resort, a short walk from main pool without the noise of the bar, main lobby and pool area. It's also close to the walking path down to the beach. This was our 3rd time staying at HBR and we decided that this unit is the only unit we'll want to stay in next time. It's just too perfect to pass up. Worth every penny.

Seth’s condo is incredible. It has everything you need! The views are absolutely breathtaking. Totally unreal, literally the best view on the island is from Seth’s condo. Already booked our next trip to stay at Seth’s condo!

Seth's place is well-equipped, immaculately decorated, and perfectly located to enjoy the best of everything Kauai's North Shore has to offer. We enjoyed the panoramic views of Hanalei Bay and the surrounding mountains, with rainbows appearing daily and breathtaking sunsets every evening. The location as well as the condo itself are nothing short of stunning. We also enjoyed walking down to the resort's beachfront. Several days, we had the beachfront all to ourselves, and even when other guests were around, it had a very private feeling. Other reviews mentioned noise from the neighboring units. We found the noise to be very minimal, and it did not impact the quality of our stay or our ability to enjoy the condo. Be aware this unit is located at the far end of the Hanalei Bay Resort property. We did not mind the walk at all, and the resort offers golf carts available to give you a ride. The only drawback to our stay was that the shower water ran cold after about 5-6 minutes, which made it challenging for both of us to shower consecutively. I'm sure this can be resolved, but it wasn't enough of an issue to want to spend our precious vacation time dealing with it. We just took short showers. Overall, I would highly recommend staying here! We had a fabulous time and are already planning to come back.

We absolutely loved this place. It was hard when we moved to another part of the island because it couldn’t compare. The view is staggering and the place is gorgeous inside.

Hanalei Bay Resort is a tropical paradise with beautiful grounds and amazing amenities. Our condo was better than we had imagined. It’s updated beach decor and fully equipped “home away from home” made our 10-night stay so comfortable and relaxing. We can’t wait to come back. Oh and the view . . . The best!!!

We had a lovely stay at the Hanalei Bay resort. This property was impeccably designed-- very fresh and modern. The balcony spans across the living room and primary bedroom, with amazing sunset views and all day views of surfers on Hanalei Bay. We spent the majority of our time out there when we were in the unit. The property owner thoughtfully includes all the gear you would want to explore the property and enjoy your vacation, including carts, umbrellas, sunscreen, and laundry detergent. Check in was a bit confusing at first because you have to check in at the main resort front desk, which is not usually the case with a VRBO. Everything went smoothly and we were in quickly. Everyone was friendly and efficient.

We absolutely loved this place! Great location with a cool pool (on site) for the whole family. As other guests mentioned, you can hear the neighbors but it was not a big deal. Thanks Seth for your prompt responses and the opportunity to stay at this amazing place!! We would love to come back and stay here again!!

We both loved the unit. It has the best view of the bay and the surfers . Loved watching the sun come up and hitting mountain ridge. The unit itself is better than the pics. They did a great job on the floor finish. We have already told our friends about this place. Thanks Dave

We had a fabulous time at this wonderful VRBO home. The décor was beautiful and very relaxing, by far the nicest at this resort. The couch and outdoor seating areas were very comfortable. As surfers we particularly enjoyed our private morning “surf cam” view from the deck that allowed us to assess the Hanalei swell. This unit came fully stocked with a complete kitchen, tennis gear, snorkeling attire, beach chairs and umbrella, a yoga mat, and beach blanket. We made good use of the hot tub, hotel pool, and common barbeque areas. While the resort’s Happy Talk lounge looked fun, due to COVID staffing issues it wasn’t open for most of our stay, but we were happy to cook our own meals and make our own drinks in the beautiful kitchen. We also highly recommend takeout from the Hideaways Pizza Pub - a 5 min drive away in Princeville. Some of our other observations to help future guests of this wonderful place: To echo some of the other reviews, the doors between the adjacent units are quite thin, but we just played a little quiet music and we found that we barely noticed our neighbors. There is a constant washing machine/air conditioning noise in one of the adjacent units that we got used to after about a day. In attempting to do some work from the unit we found that the internet was not particularly quick (~5 Mbps), but this is the same for the entire resort. There is a daily resort fee and taxes that came out to an additional ~$260 for a 7 night stay. There are golf carts available via text through the front desk for those who find the journey from the parking lot to the unit to be long, but in our opinion this is one of the best units on the property due to its isolation from the main areas of the resort. What a relaxing stay and thank you to Seth!

This was our 3rd time to Kauai and this was the best property where we stayed. The grounds of the resort were beautiful with tennis and pools and plenty of greenery. The beach that we had access to was small but very private. The walk down is steep, but paved and the carts will retrieve you when you're through. I was a little disappointed that we couldn't park closer to the condo, but the walk was good for us. Also the additional parking and resort fee were frustrating. The view from the condo was amazing!! Since the condo is the closest one in the resort to the ocean, there were no buildings blocking. The Lanai was spacious. The condo itself was modern, remodeled and beautiful. Good amount of beach equipment. A/C worked great. I do agree with some previous reviews about the noise from the adjoining condos. I seems like this would be an easy fix by replacing with some hotel quality doors. We definitely would recommend and plan on staying again next year if it's available.

The view from this condo is exquisite, one of the best on the whole island without a doubt. The condo was one of the cleanest I’ve ever stayed in, and very well stocked. Kitchen was lovely. We really appreciated all that! It’s decorated beautifully and clearly a lot of thought and care was put in to the renovations. The bed was also very comfortable! That being said, we were disappointed when we got inside and found that the units on either side (9304 & 9306) were connected to us by two thin bedroom doors inside the actual condo unit. They were locked, but it felt like sharing a house with other people rather than having your own private space. We could hear every little thing our neighbors said or did. Not just rumblings, but like being in the same room together. It made it very difficult to relax or feel like you could have your own conversations. We felt self conscious even trying to watch a movie before bed. It felt like we were renting a portion of a condo. Personally I feel as though it only makes sense to rent this condo if renting all three units together. Just wish we had known that beforehand as we appreciate privacy on vacation. The view is absolutely beautiful as previously said, but the way the building is laid out you will also be able to see directly into 5 other units balconies, as well as them into yours. You will also hear everyone outside with extreme clarity. Something to note. We also found we had to pay fees to the resort directly for parking and resort fees. It wasn’t nothing, I’ll say that. Overall the condo is quite beautiful and we loved the view very much. I just wish the listing had been more accurate as we felt a bit misled on a few things.

The view is breathtaking! The decor was adorable! Didn’t love that you share a door with neighbors on each side of unit and could hear everything little noise (and I’m sure same goes for the neighbors). So we felt like we had to tiptoe around and didn’t have much privacy to talk. But the view is extraordinary!

Absolute perfection. You can hear the sounds of the waves, see at least 4 waterfalls, and watch surfers and snorkelers from the giant lanai. The interior of the unit is much higher quality than you would expect in such a trendy rental unit. This is simply the best room not only on the property, but perhaps on the entire island. We stayed at a very upscale hotel in Poipu for the first 5 nights, but ending the trip here was everything. Perfect honeymoon, perfect host, perfect memories. Thank you for having us!

Fantastic views and probably one of the best, if not the best, location in the entire resort. Comfortable king size bed, decently stocked kitchen and gorgeous decor. We will definitely be back again!

My husband and I had an amazing time staying at this unit for our honeymoon! The patio/view was absolutely stunning and breathtaking. The location in Princeville is near many great beaches and Queen’s Bath! Easy access to Hanalei. The place was very clean and nicely decorated with a great kitchen and bathroom. Seth was great to communicate with and the check-in/check-out process was very easy. Highly recommend and can’t wait to visit again in the future!
