Steps to world-famous Hanalei Bay, walk to restaurants, ocean view lanai

Indulge all your senses from this ocean-view, 3-bedroom, 2-bath Hanalei beach home.

If you were any closer to the waves of Hanalei Bay, you’d need flippers. You’ll hear the surf from every room in this three-bedroom, two-bath beach house that’s a mere 80 steps from the velvety sands of world-famous Hanalei Bay, considered the best beach in all of Hawaii. Tucked away on a short cul-de-sac street, this 1,900-square-foot home’s elegant design, superior location in Hanalei and spectacular views offer guests a memorable immersion in a tropical wonderland.

Fully remodeled and furnished to anticipate vacationers’ every need, the charms of this extraordinary home are evident the moment you step onto the property, lushly landscaped with plumeria and orchids under a canopy of papaya and coconut palm trees. On the breakfast bar, find a gift basket of local artisan chocolate, Hawaiian spices and discount coupons that will introduce you to favorite Kauai treats and adventures—ice cream, bike rentals and a catered dinner.

Kick off your sandals and rinse the day’s sand from your toes in the elegant foot bath or hot-water outdoor shower, then step up to the expansive second story. The home’s open-floor plan brings ocean and garden views into the combined kitchen and dining area, where you’ll routinely gather to recount the day’s adventures. Leaf through our book of suggestions for hiking, dining and sightseeing, or borrow beach gear for a day of sunny recreation. Be inspired by the home’s gallery-worth photography of Kauai landmarks to plan your next outing.

Strategically located windows open to the cooling ocean breezes and bring a light, airy atmosphere to every room. Arranged to offer privacy for couples, friends or families, this ideal vacation getaway with 12-foot cathedral ceilings immerses guests in the island’s laid-back lifestyle. In no time, you’ll be dining outside on the lanai (that’s what some call a deck or porch), sipping coffee outside the master bedroom in the morning and gathering for an ocean-view meal at night. With a kitchen outfitted for the most discerning chefs, you’ll be turning out quick meals on the barbecue gas grill with ease.

The private master suite has a king bed, large closet, dressing area, adjoining bathroom and access to a private lanai. There are two spacious guest bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the second guest bedroom with two twin beds that can convert to a king if needed. Both of these rooms have beautiful views of the lush tropical landscaping surrounding this home.

In anticipation of our guests’ every need, the electronic front door locks require no keys to pick up, share or return. There is a large flat-screen TV, and high-speed Wi-Fi powers all your devices. The kitchen is fully stocked to meet all of your dining needs including shopping bags for your Farmer’s Market visits, basic seasonings and cleaning supplies. The downstairs laundry room features an over-sized washer and dryer. Throughout the home, labels and instructions aid familiarity with the house and appliances.

At sundown, you’ll soon appreciate the origin of Sunset Hale’s name. Sip a frosty cocktail as the setting sun nightly washes you with its crimson rays and reflect on yet another day in paradise.

Wow!
This really is a special property! The proximity to the beach and town can’t be beat, and the house/property did not disappoint. My family and I spent a lot of time cooking our own meals and were really impressed on how well equipped the kitchen was for 6 adults. The house was clean, the owner was responsive when needed, and the amenities were everything we were looking for. The whole experience was so positive, I will seek this property out again for my next trip. Mahalo!

Hanalei Vacation Summer 2023
Hanalei Bay is beautiful and it’s so nice to stay right on the beach to be able to enjoy it especially in the late afternoon when it’s less crowded. Fun to walk to and jump off pier. The house is comfortable and spacious with great amenities and lovely landscaping. Spent a lot of time on the great deck, just wish the trees were scaled back for an ocean view which would add to the lovely deck. Foot wash and outdoor shower were really nice and very convenient. We love hot water outdoor showers, a real treat. The rental company was generous and responsive. It can get muggy when there is no breeze, the numerous fans help a lot. Lovely home.

Perfect location with beautiful grounds and scenery
115 steps from the front door to the grass of Hanalei beach, hard to beat that for the price you pay for this location. We loved how close we were to restaurants and shops, 1/2 mile walk or drive. We used the outdoor shower and the foot cleaning faucet on the regular. We cooked dinner 3 times, we ate out the rest. If you plan to cook at the house, give yourself plenty of time, heating food and boiling water at sea level is slower than some people are used to. We live at a high elevation but have stayed in rentals on the islands before so we were prepared, the kids, who we made cook twice, we’re not lol. The beds and pillows were really comfortable, the living room furniture wasn’t but we still sat in there every night, visiting with our two grown kids and their significant others. I would imagine this rental gets pretty warm in the summer months without AC but it was perfect during our stay in March. Lots of ceiling fans, plug in fans and stand up air conditioners are available in each room. We had such a lovely time and agree that for our active lifestyle and the beautiful green scenery surrounding Hanalei Bay, our VRBO pick was spot on.

What a perfect place to stay!!! Right next to the beach and a quick walk to anything you need. The house is equipped with everything you need. We enjoyed fresh fish from the dolphin fish market, ice cream from Pink’s twice and the amazing sunsets almost every day. House is as shown and made for a wonderful trip to Hanalei.

Wonderful house in Hanalei. Well-maintained, clean, beautiful garden, well-equipped kitchen. Steps away from the ocean….you can hear the waves. A perfect family vacation spot. Would love to return again. Advertised as ocean views from the lanai but neighbors hedge overgrown so no view. Otherwise a truly lovely family vacation home.

Amazing!
We had such a wonderful time at Sunset Hale in Hanalei. The management company (Kauai Vacation Rentals) was great to work with during all aspects of our stay. They communicated regularly with us on travel requirements and answered any questions we had about our trip. The home is very clean and has everything you would need for your stay. We greatly appreciated the recommendations for restaurants/shopping in the area and were very thankful for the owners, who left a thoughtful gift since we were staying over the holiday. The house is close to the beach and walking distance from shopping and restaurants. It is on a popular street for beach access/surfers, so there was some traffic, but nothing that wouldn't be expected in any beach town. We spent lots of time on the deck and utilized the grill & kitchen daily. I would highly recommend this home and we will definitely be back!

Amazing Hanalei Beach House
I had a wonderful stay with my daughters and husband. We we’re steps to the beach. The Lanai has a peek a boo view of the ocean. We walked into town too. It was a very convenient location. The house was perfect! Felt like you were in the middle of the jungle. Clean, and had everything you could need. We loved the outdoor shower too. The Owners welcome gifts were a very nice touch. We used a couple of the gift cards. We would definitely stay there again.

The property was as advertised. Right by the beach. Walking distance to town. Owner/manager communicated with us several times between booking and arrival. They also responded immediately to questions we had upon arrival. If you stay in this area make sure you eat at Kalypso. If you want to shop at regular stores they are fairly close to this area in Kapa’a

Great family holiday
Can hear the ocean waves heartbeat and feel the cool fresh air with great cross ventilation throughout thoughtfully designed home. Quick walk to hanalei town and to beach. Beach chairs/toys/umbrellas nice to have for beach - and outdoor shower. Layout great for both privacy and shared space. Odd selection of dvd’s And alas no Jurassic Park 1. Mgmt responded swiftly to questions and needs. The home is on a heavily travelled road into a public access/parking area for beach.

Sunset Hale was the perfect spot for our relaxing vacation to Hanalei Bay
From the start, we knew this would be a great stay based on the home’s location alone...one house away from the beach! The short walk into town was equally ideal. The rental company was wonderful to deal with. We had a minor issue with our coffee maker and they came to replace it with a brand new one right away. The home was clean and well laid out, with a nice wrap around porch running from the master suite to the main living area/kitchen. The kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials to make it easy to cook at home. The house came nicely equipped with good quality beach chairs, coolers, umbrellas, boogie boards and other beach/sand toys. The outdoor shower was an added perk for de-sanding from the beach. The only thing we feel the house could benefit from is either a chaise lounge or a hammock on the porch to really maximize relaxation! We had a fantastic five days at Sunset Hale and hope to return soon, as it was truly a perfect vacation!

Beautiful Home and a Great Location
We couldn’t have asked for anything better. Steps from the beach and only a few blocks from town. This is a very relaxing home to stay in and is kept up as a home of this caliber should be. Our grandson now calls this the “Ocean House” as you can sit on the end of the deck and see the ocean. We hope to return in the near future.

Very nice house
All the reviews pretty well cover the house, the price is right in my opinion. If I owned it there are a few things I would do... I would cut back some of the hedge that is 40' tall, so more air could get in to the house, I'd tell people that household goods are there in short supply, as I found it a pain to go buy everything before I went to the house, as I was told to do, and then find things are already there... I'd just tell people to replace what they used. And I'd ask the neighbor that lives in front of you if he would cut the hedge down in height which blocks your view, and would not not affect him at all. The queen size bed is hard as nails, the twins are good, but a bit hard, the king size is good, but it only has another year of life.
