Rental Details
Property Overview
Our Beach Home here next to Hanalei Bay can be yours! Walk out your front door and across the grass to the sand and sea.
Hanalei Moon Beach Cottage is named after the famous Hawaiian song "Hanalei Moon," which extols the extreme beauty and romance of the Hanalei Valley under the tropical night sky.
The cottage is located on the quiet end of town on Weke Road, right on the beach park, on 1/3 acre within walking distance of all the restaurants, shops and galleries. Waterfalls are the backdrop for our little beach house.
There is complete cozy kitchen where you can whip up fabulous food from the Hanalei Fish Market, the Farmer's Market, or just make snacks to go and enjoy some of the great local restaurants.
King size bed and lights for reading at night. It has a separate bathroom entrance. We have a little library for your use and quite a few great books on Kauai and Hawaii in general.
We have a little telescope in the living room so that you can better see boats, whales, and dolphins ply the Bay by day and enjoy the moon and stars at night. If you're lucky, you may see a moon bow, something I have only seen in Hanalei. It will happen on a night when there are stars, moon and clouds together. If the clouds are sailing by on the gentle trade winds and shedding some tears, the rain will be illuminated by the moon shining from the cloudless part of the sky. Talk about breathtaking! Depending on the brightness of the moon, you may discern the colors of the rainbow.
Snorkeling, swimming, diving, paddling, hiking, golfing and a health club are all as close as your front yard, to as far as a 10-minute drive away. Walk across your front yard and look to the left; you're likely to see hardly anyone for a mile. Look to the right and you'll probably see surfers, volleyball players and beachgoers, with the Hanalei Pier at the far end of the Bay in the background.
The State of Hawaii requires a rental agreement. The rental agreement has different cancellation policies than VRBO.
Please be aware that when you book this house or any accommodations by the ocean in Hawaii, not on a bluff, you are booking in a tsunami evacuation zone. Evacuation instructions will be in the house and notice of the tsunami evacuation zone will be part of your contract. Also please know that there is a charge of $15 per night for charging of electric vehicles at this property.

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: Staying in Suzanne and Ray’s cottage is like visiting family. Cozy and well appointed, full of aloha. The location is heavenly; grass lawn to swaying palm trees, to endless Hanalei Beach. A truly tropical paradise.
This is a wonderful property directly on Hanalei Bay. We really enjoyed being able to walk through the backyard and onto the beach. The house is a great size for 2 people, with plenty of outdoor spaces as well. The owners have recently updated the interior with new smart tvs and stainless steel appliances, giving the house an updated feel. They also provide some beach chairs, snorkeling gear and grill accessories for the charcoal Weber grill, which all helped to make our stay more enjoyable. This property will definitely be on our list to return to!
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've stayed many times in these properties on Hanalei Bay, and the location can't be beat. Gorgeous views of the bay, and just a short walk to the water. The Moon Beach Cottage is functional and has everything you need, but it's showing its age. The beach and bath towels all need replaced, and some of the small appliances are getting old. But it's comfortable and there's nothing like being on this beach every morning when you wake up.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed here multiple times and hope to stay here again in the future. This adorable cottage provides everything we could possibly want. It is very well managed too. The location on Hanalei Bay combined with the lovely green space is simply magical.
This is a perfect location and view to appreciate everything about Hanalei—views, peace, privacy. Cottage adequately stocked, tho dated. If you are a walker, it is within walking distance of village, depending on heat/humidity. Perfect size for 1 or 2 people.
We loved our stay at the Moon Cottage. What a beautiful spot.
The beach house itself is nothing fancy but exactly what you need. Location is incredible. My wife and I stayed and took advantage of cooking in the cottage for breakfast and heading into town for dinners. Hanalei Bay is an amazing place to stay on the island and this cottage is located exactly where you want to be.The ONLY negative I'd say are the roosters living very close to the house, one right by the bedroom which had us up early a couple of mornings haha
Amazing place for two people. Perfect location, comfortable and just what we needed! Highly recommended for a couple or two people who just want to get away!

Half Moon Bay was amazing. The location was perfect. Close enough to town to easily get to stuff but far enough away to feel secluded. The beach is right there and you almost feel like it’s your own private beach. And the house was great. If I had any quibble with anything, it was with the fact that there were no directions on how to access local tv channels to watch sports. But that is relatively minor. We would come back 10 out of 10 times.
This was the perfect cottage - great location, beautiful view, has everything you would want. We loved being able to walk right out to the beach. Outdoor shower was a plus. We would love to visit again.

The bungalow was chosen entirely for its location directly on Hanalei Bay and it proved to be more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. The whole experience is reminiscent of a 50s Hawaiian postcard! Yes, I remember :) Cant wait to go back...

Beautiful, simple cottage and location.Great time and place.’Shopping and restaurants close by.Need more air conditioners, a better tv system.
This cottage was a perfect getaway for my partner and I. It was beautiful, right on the beach, quiet and close enough to town to bike (which we rented for the week) in for dinner. As we are not cooks and live so rurally that we don’t eat out often, enjoying the many exotic meal options was fun for us. Couldn’t have been better.

We love the proximity to the beach, the ocean views, the mountain views, the waterfalls, the lanai, the outdoor shower, and more.

If you're looking for a resort experience this is not for you. If you are looking for peace and quiet this is it.

A couple of things came up and Kira was quick to respond and help. Great communication. The house is located perfectly distanced to town and the beach. Will definitely be back and would highly recommend!
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: We decided on Hanalei Bay for our wedding, and the Moon Beach Cottage was the most picture perfect accommodations we could've picked. The house was clean, well equipped, and cooled down quickly after those long beach walks. It was tricky keeping the sand out of the house even with the hose outside, and there was no vacuum or broom (though there is an outdoors broom). The outdoor shower is a must-use, especially during those surprise downpours.Location was spectacular, with an expansive lawn leading to the beach. The way to town is deceptively far, but not unreasonable. The only bump in our stay was we were given the wrong directions to the house, but we had the proper address and lockbox code which was the most important part - Google maps got us there with no trouble.Overall we were thrilled with our experience with this home, and we will absolutely be returning to stay for future anniversaries.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We absolutely loved our stay at Hanalei Moon Beach Cottage! Everything we could need was provided and the cottage was full of character and charm. If you prefer a sterile resort scene, this is not for you but it suited us perfectly- felt like a "home away from home". You can't ask for a better location, on the quiet end of the most beautiful beach- perfect for a sunrise walk to the pier (about 2 miles rt) and an afternoon float. Great neighborhood, very convenient to shops & restaurants but also quiet and tucked away on a dead-end street. Beginning to end, our communication with Beach & Bluff Realty was excellent and we enjoyed every minute of our stay here.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second stay in this cottage. It has all the basics, nothing fancy, but it is very cozy and the location is lovely if you want to take walks on the beach and just spend time on the beach.
The house was just as represented in the listing. Simple place, but all the basic amenities were there. Nice to have the outdoor shower and washer/dryer. It was all about the location for us. We love Hanalei Bay. View is incredible. Thank you!
We enjoyed our stay in this cozy cottage on Hanalei Bay with a view of the bay through beautiful trees--it was hard to pull ourselves away. It had everything we needed--the outdoor shower is so convenient and there are lots of books to read if it rains. The cottage is on a lawn shared with several other rentals so we got to know our fellow visitors!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband planned this heavenly trip for my birthday. It was everything we were hoping for, and more. From the "welcome basket" with many goodies, to the beautiful views out our front window (better in person), to the amazing covered porch to sit during the occasional showers, and of course the best part, the mere steps to the beach. We experienced a well stocked home with everything you might need and a comfortable king bed. Everything you could hope for. We had an amazing time. Thank you!
