Wonderful well appointed home - terrific for a large family to gather. Close to everything. Air conditioned bedrooms are a huge plus!

The house is absolutely phenomenal! We all absolutely loved staying there. The walk into Hanalei is super easy and the setting is unbelievably picturesque. We would go back in a heartbeat.

We have stayed at the Dolphin house 4 times over the last 10 years. The house is huge, and it is has a lot of sleeping options for big families. There are ground floor rooms for the grandparents, and a separate guest house for young families with babies. The house is ideally situated-- you just walk out the back door, and you are on the beach. You can also walk to town in less than 5 minutes for your morning coffee. The house is maintained impeccably, and it looks the same today as it did 10 years ago. There is no better spot to stay in Kauai!

The Dolphin house was immaculate! Everyone in our party was comfortable and in awe of the living, sleeping and outdoor space. Jessica was very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. Words do not describe the yard that leads to the beach. The grounds are very manicured and make it lovely to sit outside and enjoy the natural beauty all around. The kitchen was great for cooking a big breakfast and eating the at table on the lanai ...wow... Thank you Mark and Carlee and Jessica. It was a perfect family vacation!

We had the best multi-generational stay at the Dolphin house. The location is magic - waterfalls, rainbows, mountains, ocean, stars and sunsets. The house is spacious, comfortable and so much fun with a great kitchen, pool table, card table, sound system, etc. We can't wait to go back!

What a superb property!! By far the best on Hanalei beach!!!! We have rented a few and this is at the top of our list! Perfect location (on the beach and close to town) great size house for 10, functional kitchen, location is actually magical (mountains in the background and beach). No other property at this price comes close to this one! Our beach was also very quiet, far from the public access. If I had to add a suggestion, I would ask for extra outdoor furniture (for cocktail hour maybe a couch/coffee table). Also, it was great that there was lots of beach chairs/umbrellas to use. And The grounds are so manicured! What a treat to spend our 2 weeks here!! We will for sure be back!!!!!!

Our little group of 5 had more than enough room in this large house and guest house!! Beautiful views from everywhere and easy location for going into town! Look forward to our next trip!!

We loved our stay at Kai Nani. The location was perfect with views of the ocean and easy access to the beach. The kitchen was very well supplied with all the pots and pans and cooking utensils needed which made meal preparation easy but the knives were quite which was frustrating at times. The house and grounds were great for kids and the manager helped us coordinate a crib and stroller for our infant son which was very helpful.

I can not tell you how great this property is. It checks every box! The location couldn't have been better, close to town and shopping, steps from the ocean. The home is perfectly laid out with plenty of space for everyone. Everything we needed was there, beach chairs, umbrellas, beach toys, snorkeling gear etc. There were plenty of puzzles and games. The kitchen was stocked with everything we could have needed. The whole package was top notch. Thank you so much for opening your home to us. It was unforgettable !

Gorgeous location. Big spacious house. Well-appointed kitchen. What made this house and experience outstanding and what I haven't experienced elsewhere when renting was the property manager. Her attention was exemplary and I couldn't have asked for anything else. She went far above and beyond, communication was excellent, and she made all the difference in this experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Dolphin House "Kai Nani" in Hanalei. The home and property were spectacular. Access to the beach was a dream. Hanalei and the north shore of Kauai are a special treat due to the quiet, slow pace and Hawaiian hospitality.

Great. Close to food, shopping and on the beach. Perfect home for our family. Host, and owner were great to work with. I can not say enough good things about this property. Would love to come again and stay longer.

We had a lovely time in this house. Had a couple of glitches in the beginning of our stay but Jessica, the property manager, was very responsive. We wish that the master bedroom had AC as it did when we stayed here previously. Overall, we would definitely stay here again as the location cannot be beat and the house and grounds are otherwise perfect!

We loved our stay at The Dolphin House. The location on the beach, the spacious and impeccably maintained grounds and walking proximity to town, cannot be beat. The house accommodates two families comfortably. The kitchen is well-appointed with all necessary equipment and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. We will be back for sure.

It was set on a well kept, beautifully landscaped property. Our little ones loved the grassy lawn and we all loved the location on the beautiful beach at the end of the property. Our February weather was not perfect our 9 days, but this location minimized our disappointment with the sunshine, because the design of the house lets the outside come in on any day. The interior design was simple and tasteful with lots of clear surfaces to spread out on - no clutter! We kept a puzzle going on one table and our son-in-laws played pool while their children watched a movie - all in the same spacious room. The professional staff was gracious, helpful and easy to reach for questions. They were very responsive but not intrusive. Plus, there was good information in a notebook at the house that included menus from various restaurants and things to see and do. Our walks to Pinks Ice Cream shop became a daily routine. The property description was accurate, with lots of amenities (with the exception of no ice-maker). We loved the outside shower and foot-wash off the large patio to clean up after our time on the beach. The kitchen was well-stocked with equipment and cleaning supplies. We enjoyed cooking together in the large kitchen and eating on the patio. The balconies off the upstairs bedrooms were large with FABULOUS views of the bay and beach. The cottage, with 2 additional sleeping areas is a unique situation and just as nice as the main house. We will cherish our memories of this vacation and have already recommended the Dolphin House to our good friends in California.
