This is the second time in 2 years my family and I have stayed at this property and we have already booked for next year. Joan, the host, is amazing. Responds very quickly if you have any issues- which we rarely had and even those were minor. Everything you need is at this house. Fully stocked kitchen, pantry, beach chairs, towels, umbrella, cooler, coozies, spices.....too many amenities to list. Oh and the best amenity is the beach cart to haul everything to the beach!! Which is only a 5 minute walk to Hanalei Bay. And a 5 minute walk to downtown Hanalei. You cannot go wrong with this house - just please do not book when my family and I want.to go. LOL.

This property was just right for us! We enjoyed the short walking distance to the beach and to the amenities in town. We traveled with our 3 kids ages 10-13 and there were so many activities for us to do in and around Hanalei! They had surf lessons in the bay and enjoyed using the boogie boards available from the house. We snorkeled at Tunnels beach and Queen Emma's baths, both a short drive from Hanalei. Having so many amenities available to us at this rental house like beach chairs, an umbrella, towels, boogie boards, a cooler, and snorkel gear was incredibly useful! And our kids loved feeding the cats that come to the property. It was an enjoyable morning and evening ritual, one that helped them not miss their dog so much. We had one issue with the fire alarm going off intermittently, but Joan's local contact worked with us on a solution.We would definitely return!

This is a beautiful home that is easy walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the beach. We really appreciated all of the beach gear available for use. Would love to return if we make it back to Kauai!

Let me start my saying the property owner seems very nice and is very responsive. The house itself is weathered, in need of an update and a deep cleaning. It is very well located, right near town and about an 8 minute walk to the beach if you’re lugging equipment. I would recommend you like cats if you stay here. When we arrived there were about five plus cat beds, scratching posts along with tons of cat nip on the porch. The property owner had it moved when I asked but the outdoor doesn’t feel very clean and floors aren’t mopped and the furniture is not very clean. Overall we didn’t spend any time on the lanais or anywhere in the backyard because of this. That was quite disappointing. The house is well laid out and the size is comfortable but again, it doesn’t didn’t feel very clean. Wish I had a better review for it and hopefully it will get a deep cleaning in the future.
