Nestled in Hanalei’s neighborhood this cottage is a short walk to the bay. A blast from the past, it’s well cared for and well appointed.

Property and location were great and just as advertised. Only reason for not a 5 star review was the heavy construction next door that was not communicated.

Our stay at the Malolo cottage was perfect for our family, even with 2 kids under 3. Close enough to walk to the beach, comfortable living space in the house, and quiet neighborhood. The house has everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again next time we visit Hanalei Bay!

We only used our rental car from and to the airport, enjoyed walking every morning and strolling to the shops and restaurants. Na Pali Properties were available and helpful, the house was clean and well equipped for our needs. If you want a little piece of heaven - try it out.

This was our 4th trip to the north shore and we wanted to have a solo family trip (no friends or family) this time. The Malolo Cottage was the perfect choice. The short walk to the beach and large yard made our trip very relaxing and memorable. The property managers were very communicative and reminded us to put out the trash each week. They also helped us quickly when the internet went offline during a wind storm. The house was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. I would highly recommend this property for a couple or a small family like ours.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was pretty perfect.On past visits we have stayed closer to Pavilions than Pine Trees, and this was much better, with less traffic and a short stroll to an uncrowded beach. the cottage was well ticked with all essentials,, boogie boards, beach chairs, snorkels, etc.A beach umbrella might have been nice, too. The kitchen had everything needed except counter space for food prep. The beds are very good. Neighbors were never noisy. Our favorite dinner out was at Barracuda. Great food.
