About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Wai'oli, an upscale beach home with AC in the bedrooms is part of a duplex. A short stroll from the beach, granite counters, travertine floors, Hawaiian style furnishings, top line appliances, stainless steel BBQ & outdoor shower in your private back yard await you (Standard & Maximum Occupancy is 4). Cool and relaxing, convenient to all the North Shore beaches. .

A two-minute stroll will bring you to Wai'oli Beach Park in the center of Hanalei Bay. A few blocks away lies the Hanalei town center with eclectic shops, beach toy rentals (masks, boards, kayaks and bicycles), market, fish store and excellent restaurants.

It's all in the neighborhood, and Hanalei is a great neighborhood with a fabulous bay, beautiful mountains, waterfalls and rainbows. These are the best rates in Hanalei for this quality and proximity to the bay.

With all the Hanalei has to offer, well maintained calming space so close to the bay & Hanalei town, this is a fabulous value for a larger group & multi-generational families.

There are 2 bedrooms, one king, 2 twins, and 2 full baths. A hot and cold outside shower for after the beach is a wonderful plus.

Wonderful Stay in Hanalei

We had a wonderful time in Hanalei! The home is just around the corner from the beach (<5min walk) and was a wonderful retreat to eat, sleep, and relax when not at the beach. We would absolutely stay here again during our next trip to this magical place!

Perfect Hanalei Bay Getaway

The property is well equipped and set up for a long family getaway. We stayed for 7 days and didn't want to leave. The house is spacious, and the bedrooms are comfy and air conditioned. It's very well located... a 10 minute walk to organic and regular markets, and a 5 minute walk to a great swimming & surfing beach, and 15 minute drive to snorkeling at Tunnels beach to the west or Anini beach to the east, and a close walk or drive to fantastic restaurants if you don't want to cook. From our experience, this is the best side of the island, and this house is a perfect home base from which to experience it.

The perfect house for the perfect vacation!

We normally stay in hotels but decided to try a house this time and we are so glad we did! We were married in Hanalei 23 years ago and wanted to bring our teenage daughters to see the area. The house was perfect for our family of four. The girls had their own room and bathroom which was great and the proximity from the house to the beach and town were both amazing! The house was so well stocked and clean. And, it was quiet except for an occasional rooster. LOL We enjoyed cooking at the house and we used the beach chairs and towels for our daily visit to the beach. The washer and dryer were clean and new and convenient. We had everything we needed and could not have asked for a better experience at this property. We will definitely be back.

Hanalai Stay

This 2-bedroom was perfect for 4 adults. The rooms were great and both had AC units, which were much appreciated. The kitchen, dining room and living room were comfortable and spacious. The kitchen was well-stocked with utensils and appliances. The location was great, just a short walk from Pine Trees parking lot and beach. We were very happy here and would definitely come back.

Great spot by the beach

This is a great spot in Hanalei. Walking distance to the beach, we went everyday. Beautiful view of the mountains and waterfalls out the kitchen window. Kitchen was well equipped, we cooked in every night. Outdoor shower was a huge bonus after beach time, and the outdoor grill was great. We will be back for sure.

Incredible location!

We had a terrific stay! The location is just amazing--a two minute walk from the beach, right near a wonderful break called Middles, where we loved surfing every day. The hosts were helpful and the yard/outdoor space was even better than it looked in the pictures. The interior wasn't as bright as I expected, based on the pictures, but it was nice and spacious. We hope to stay again!

Just as others have written, this is a comfortable home with a very well stocked kitchen that is super convenient (1.5 blocks) to the beach. The proximity let us maximize beach time because we could quickly walk over when the rain stopped.

Terrific home in a beautiful location

We were very pleased with our rental. The house was as advertised - actually a bit nicer! Clean, spacious with a cute yard and easy walk to a spectacular beach. Well located for exploring Kauai. As stated, the A/C is only for the bedrooms, but that was completely adequate. The kitchen was very well appointed and we enjoyed cooking during our stay.

First Family vacation since COVID

Lovely property within walking distance to the beach. Has A/C in the two bedrooms but not the main living area. Owner has provided 4 fans to help but still quite warm in the main living areas. Property managers are very responsive and helpful and were great helping us when we had unexpected changes in our plans.

Truly Sad to Leave

This home is just about as perfect as it gets for a stay on the North Shore. It's close enough to Hanalei town that you can drive in a few minutes or walk in 10-15, but also far enough away that it's quiet and peaceful. We were blown away at the beauty just outside the doorstep, not to mention everywhere we ventured during our week on Kauai. The beach is a two-minute walk away. One tip - when you walk to the beach, you go right to go into town and to the pier. But don't forget to walk left at least once, because you'll come to the confluence of the Waioli stream and the bay, and it's truly a magical spot, especially around sundown.

Great home and location!

Great home and location. However, the loft is not usable as they need another ac unit up there. They shouldnt advertise it as a sleeping area. It must be over 100 degrees up there. The twin beds were too small for my 22-year-old so recommend they exchange those for extra-long twins so adult siblings can sleep in the same room. Lots of pots and pans, dishes, newer washer and dryer. Great distance to the beach, coffee, restaurants and stores.

Family fun

Loved the location! We were at the beach every day and my kids could easily walk to town. Upstairs room is too hot to be slept in so all three of my kids slept in the downstairs room. Beach toys were great! Only had two rolls of toilet paper in the house, no trash bags and no laundry detergent so that was kind of annoying but I just bought some and left them at the house.

This property was wonderful for our two boys (6 and 7) and myself w our nanny. The location couldn’t be better, as you are close to the beach and to town. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with a spacious cooking area and dining room. We really felt like we had room to spread out. We really appreciated the boogie boards and sun chairs that were available for our use. This is a wonderful property and we will definitely be back!

Great house - Perfect north shore location

This was our 4th stay on the North Shore of Kauai and this house was hands-down the most convenient location. My family likes to surf and being right on Hanalei allowed us to pick up the boards and go whenever we wanted. The house was clean and very spacious. The kitchen is well stocked with all the cooking hardware you'll need. Having beach chairs and umbrellas was nice and we used those each day as well. Our only minor critique would be that the shower heads need to be replaced or de-scaled. The water pressure was not good and it would have been nice to get a solid shower after a long day at the beach.
