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: Picture perfect setting with everything you ever need to have the best vacation ever. You could not ask for a better location on Hanalei beach but beyond that, the house is perfect. The pictures don’t fully express how perfect. Remember to enjoy the hot tub, sauna and fire pit.

Lots of seating in the living room, well appointed kitchen, comfy beds and linens, bicycles for quick ride into town, bonus hot tub, nice grill, great views from best spot on bay (pine tree beach), abundant morning birdsong from trees, waterfall in distance from kitchen window. It is worth every penny.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lani Kai is located right on the beach in beautiful Hanalei, with volleyball courts just in front and a long stretch of walkable beach. The home is so lovely and accommodates big family gatherings for both visiting and dining. There’s a remarkable huge table around which 16 family members sat during our wonderful stay there. I would recommend this lovely home to anyone looking for a convenient, and beautiful setting. The management was also very helpful and attentive.

We had two families with 9 people and were very comfortable in this home. The location is incredible with Hanalai Beach as your backyard and views of the waterfalls out the front. Our island host (Tanya) even bought and delivered a volleyball for us to use on the courts behind the house. Great location to stay if you want to experience the North side of the island. Would definitely come back!
