Pua Melia: 3 BR / 3 BA house in Hanalei

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was so beautiful, very clean. Walking distance to the beach and Hanalei town. The only downfall, which is no one’s fault, is the porch and living room get really hot during the afternoo and there is no AC in the living room (only the bedrooms which was definitely needed).

Our family had a wonderful week at this house. If you prioritize location and views, Pua Melia cannot be beat unless you're literally trying to stay beachfront. There is a lot to love about the property - location, views, easy beach access, really comfortable beds, and the property management company is very helpful and responsive. I should add the air conditioners in the bedrooms were an awesome, unexpected touch for Kauai. The west facing windows in the bedrooms provide amazing views, but it also meant the bedrooms get hot, and having the in-room air conditioners in the bedrooms was great. For us, there were just a few things that prevent us from giving the house a 10 out of 10 rating. As a family with young kids, the lack of beach stuff was a bummer. There were plenty of chairs, two coolers, two boogies boards, and one (somewhat broken) beach umbrella, but no sand toys, no sand wagon, and no other beach gear. The lack of outdoor shower was also a challenge for us. The hose is good for sandy feet, but our family is pretty active in the water, which means lots of sand in swimsuits - it was really challenging trying to get sand off bodies outside with just a hose. There was some bright colored carpet stains in the corners of the bedrooms that was likely from water damage and certainly caught the eye. Finally, the downstairs laundry room had a really unpleasant, musty smell. Overall, the location, views, and beds/rooms are fantastic and we had a great week!

Great place

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great house. Great location. My daughter timed it and says it is a 3 minute walk to the beach and 7 minutes to Hanalei town. Great views of mountains and beach. This was our 3rd trip to Hanalei and our favorite house so far. Our favorite activity was walking to the beach in the morning to surf, walking to town in the afternoon to eat and look at the shops, then back to the beach for the afternoon and sunset, followed by dinner at the house.Everything in the house worked well. We did not need the air conditioners. Just opened the windows for ocean breezes. Garage is stocked with chairs for the beach and a couple umbrellas and coolers. Plenty of towels and the kitchen was set up with everything from rice cooker, to toaster oven. The only thing I wish they had is an outdoor shower, but not a big deal because there are showers at the beach and a hose at the front of the house.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It's a beautiful,spacious home in an amazing location on Weke Road, steps from the beach. The property managers were friendly, quick and responsive when we needed help. There were issues with bugs, cockroaches, which they sprayed on our second day. Also an ant infestation in the kitchen, which we did not call about. We did not call about. It would have been better if they had treated before our arrival.

The lanai with its small view of the ocean was especially great. You can’t beat the location. Highly recommend this rental!

The house was in a perfect location in Hanalei. The house was great and the kitchen was well stocked with cooking paraphernalia. I only wish you could get your kids in a lock box at the house instead of picking them up and dropping them at the realtors office by the airport.
