Welcome to the Makana Nui, located on the famous Weke Road in Hanalei. This home sits directly on the beach and is just a short walk through your private lawn to the sand. The picturesque Hanalei coastline remains relatively undeveloped and provides breathtaking views from every angle, a true definition of paradise!
Surrounded by a beautifully manicured landscape full of greenery and tropical foliage, this property offers guests their own slice of paradise. This home features a spacious lanai including a variety of comfortable lounging and dining areas with postcard-worthy ocean and mountain views. Savor your morning cup of coffee listening to gentle ocean waves, or enjoy a front row seat to the spectacular show that is a Hanalei Bay sunset. The lanai is covered so you will be able to utilize this space during rain or shine! Guests also have access to an outdoor gas grill, beach chairs, and towels.
Step through sliding glass doors into your charming home-away from home. Floor to ceiling windows bring in the dramatic views and illuminate the space with abundant natural light. An open floor plan, impressive high-beam ceilings, and multiple fans allow for optimal air flow throughout the home. Open the windows in the morning to enjoy cooling trade-winds, Kauai’s natural air conditioning!
A spacious living area features ample seating with comfortable couches and oversized chairs, tasteful island decor, and of course, ocean views! The chef of your group will love spending time in the fully-equipped kitchen and preparing meals while enjoying the tropical views. The kitchen includes everything you need to feel at home or prepare an island-inspired meal including a coffee maker, blender, dishwasher, microwave, and cooking utensils. Appointed dining areas inside the home and on the lanai provide plenty of space for entertaining and enjoying a meal at home.

The home has a great layout and very comfortable furniture and amenities. The location is unbeatable! Walk to the town of Hanalei, steps to the beach across the most gorgeous expanse of lawn.
