About this property

Nestled along the coveted Pine Trees stretch of Hanalei Bay, this exceptional oceanfront retreat places you in the heart of one of Kauai’s most iconic destinations. Just steps from the sand and a short walk to Hanalei Town, guests can enjoy easy access to local shops, restaurants, and beach activities. From the wraparound lanai, take in panoramic views of Hanalei Bay, the historic Hanalei Pier, and the famous silhouette of "Puff the Magic Dragon" across the water. During the winter months, watch whales and world-class surfers from the comfort of the home, while summer brings sailboats, sunbathers, and spectacular sunsets. Trade winds, rainbows, and lush waterfall-covered mountains create the unforgettable scenery that makes Hanalei such a beloved destination.

This custom-built, two-story beachfront home offers approximately 2,610 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space and comfortably accommodates up to eight guests. The upper level features a spacious primary suite with a king bed, an ensuite bathroom with dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and a jetted soaking tub. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area provides a bright and welcoming gathering space with stunning ocean views. The fully equipped kitchen includes a variety of small appliances, including an air fryer, while Smart TVs throughout the home make it easy to relax after a day of adventure. Beautiful Brazilian cherry wood flooring, granite countertops, and marble tile finishes add warmth and elegance throughout the residence.

The lower level includes two additional bedrooms, offering a California king bed and a queen bed, along with convenient access to full bathrooms. A TV lounge area includes a sleeper sofa suitable for one adult or two children, providing flexible sleeping arrangements. Guests will appreciate the outdoor hot-and-cold shower for rinsing off after beach days and hikes, as well as a laundry room and a well-stocked collection of beach gear, games, and family-friendly amenities. Please note that the home does not have air conditioning, allowing guests to enjoy the refreshing natural trade winds. As Kauai continues to undergo roadway improvements and infrastructure projects, travelers should anticipate occasional delays and roadwork throughout the island.

Beautiful location

Joseph J.10.0/10

Great house with lots of room.Tremendous views and almost right on the beach. There is a small parking lot between the house and beach but it’s not a big deal. A multigenerational family of 6 aduls and a toddler stayed here for 8 nights and we had everything we needed. The house was large and comfortable enough for all of us.Plenty of outdoor spaces including upstairs and downstairs dining tables and lots of chairs.The furnishings are fine and very comfortable but some furniture is starting to show its age, especially the primary bedroom where the drawers were very hard to operate.The main thing this house is missing is central air conditioning. You don’t need it for the heat, but on Hanalei Bay where it rains several times a day in the dry season, humidity is a concern. If you don’t mind 70-80% humidity inside, you will be OK. It is surprising that such a nice and expensive house doesn’t have AC, as most neighbors appear to have some air conditioning. Another small disappointment is the Sonos speakers which are difficult to use if you are not the owner of the system and dont have the app to control it. A simple bluetooth speaker would be much easier for the casual renter. The only tv remotes provided are for the Apple TV which work great. However if you travel with your own streaming device as we have for the past 10 years, you can not use it because there is no TV remote to let you change the source. Overall we had a great stay and would do it again.

Pine Tree Villa could not have a more perfect location and the clear view of Hanalei Bay will add magic any time of year. The house was well stocked with everything you need to feel right at home. Make sure to plan ahead and book desired hikes and activities well in advance as the area is popular and admission to the Koke’e State Park for hiking on the Nā Pali Coast is limited for crowd control. However, if all you want to do is relax and enjoy the beach, you’re in the right place. You can easily walk into town or drive 3 minutes for tons of cute shops and restaurants! Our 5 kids ages 15-21 loved all of it!

Great views, clean and had everything we needed for days on the beach. The beach was beautiful and the waves were great for boogie boarding and surfing. The walk to town was short and easy. Most of all the home and grounds were clean, in great condition and comfortable. Eating breakfast on the deck overlooking the ocean was a great way to start the day.

This was the best vacation we ever had. The location was unbelievable and I think I said out loud I’m so happy over 20 times. It was great to have boogie and surfboards plus beach chairs. The house is stunning and we will definitely come back!

Yes, the beach view was an obstructed and stunning. Hanalei Bay! I think our only complaint- it is tiny-is that we could hear cars crunching over the gravel as they came on either side of our property to the parking lot that was between us and the bay. Again, a small grievance, but people should know about it. It would have been lovely to have blocked that out and it was most of the day.… But!- the house was incredibly well equipped, the gardens were spectacular and the property, overall , were beautiful and we had a wonderful time.

This vacation was a 10 out of 10 and mostly due to this home! (Minus being evacuated for a tsunami for a night!) Everything was exactly as advertised, but the experience once we were there was better than expected! Arrival and check-in was super easy and not having to deal with keys was awesome! The interior was perfectly cleaned and ready for our arrival. The welcome basket and hand written note were lovely! I’m a sleep snobso I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable the primary bed was! Confession: we did bring our own pillows, but after seeing the pillow selection, I don’t think we needed to. The sheets were super cozy and our big kids slept great in both of the other bedrooms and loved having their own bathrooms! We cooked dinner at home every night! Only thing we didn’t find was a cocktail shaker, but literally everything else you could want! Felt like we were at home! Small problem w/ants around the sink, but there was some ant spray we used a couple times, no biggie. We spent every night on the lanai! Use the citronella candles that are there! If you are prone to mosquito bites, use the bug spray! I got hit pretty hard! No AC wasn’t a huge deal. It was hot when u used the oven, but u just eat outside on the lanai. The bedroom fans worked great! The roosters weren’t an issue for us. Tons of chairs, towels, boogie/surf boards. You can play music thru the TV with Apple TV. Midweek cleaning is great! Talia was super responsive and helpful! Amazing home!

This was a wonderful family beach house. Well stocked with beach gear, including towels, chairs, boogie boards, surf boards, etc. The kitchen had everything you would need to cook meals every night. But the real kicker is the location, location, location. Adjacent to one of the best beaches in Hawaii, who could ask for more?

Pine Tree Villa is an oasis on one of the most beautiful beaches on the world. The immediate access to the beach through the backyard gate is priceless. Every beach amenity you could need is provided for endless beach fun. The layout is ideal for 3 couples but there is ample room for 4. The kitchen is fully equipped and the dining room and upper lanai provide 180 degree beach views.Although no AC, the ceiling fans and oscillating fans render the sleeping environment sufficiently cool for those who just don't like it hot (like me! I slept very well). Highest compliment I can give is to note that I look forward to staying there again.

We’ve been to the house before and love the location of the house. We were close to beach and able to watch surfers, and Ching Young Village is close. The house has beach umbrella, chairs, boogie boards, and surf boards. The only critique would be that they could use some new beach chairs. We still used the ones they had which are starting to show some wear and tear. There is no A/C, but ocean breeze and the ceiling fans worked well to keep us cool. There was a welcome fruit basket and snacks which was nice touch. I also love the midweek clean. We’ve stayed at this house a few times over the years and love coming back.

We had a wonderful stay and thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Hanalei. We’ve been to the north shore many times and this location was 5-star. Views are spectacular, and the beach is literally right outside your door. We were worried about not having A/C, but closed the windows during the day to keep in cool air, and the ocean breeze/evening showers cooled off for comfortable sleeping at night. Our kids enjoyed playing in the yard, making use of games/puzzles and beach chairs/boogie boards. Talia was very responsive if we need anything or had questions, and the midweek cleaning was a pleasant amenity. We rented bikes from a local shop which made it quick and easy to get to the pier, shaved ice, etc. Walks to the same along the beach were also easy/enjoyable. If we have any constructive feedback it is to perhaps update some of the beach chairs and patio furniture. While we had enough seats at the outdoor table the quality wasn’t in line with the price paid for the beautiful home. Everything else was wonderful. We’d definitely stay again!

Loved the location to the beach. Lots of beach toys for the kids. Could use more coffee cups and plates. Beds were comfortable. The mid week cleaning service was nice.

Spotless house, perfect location. Surf break in front of the house on many days was great for beginners, and super fun to watch the locals teach their very young kids how to surf. Dinners on the upstairs porch overlooking the bay were fantastic. The house is stocked better than any rental we have stayed in- every beach item you might possibly need including surf boards, and a kitchen that you can really cook in. If we come back to Hanalei Bay, we will stay here again!

This beachfront home has a gorgeous view and a well thought out floor plan. We enjoyed being so close to the beach and the town of Hanalei. Our only issue was noise. The access road to the parking lot in front of the house is gravel as well as the parking lot. It’s a popular spot so each trip is noticeable. It didn’t help that construction work was going on at the adjacent property with power tools and loud music. Windows need to be open due to lack of air conditioning. We still had an enjoyable trip but would not choose this location in the future.

This is the second time we have stayed at this home on Halanei Bay. It provides everything you need to relax and enjoy your vacation. I would highly recommend this home if you are looking for a place for a large family or group that want to be able to spend lots of time together in a comfortable setting!

This was a beautiful home that was just the right distance from Hanalei town center and almost exactly in the middle of the bay. It had surf boards and boogie boards, and all of the sand toys one could want. The gardens were lovely and the views of the sea were incredible. In the morning the sunrise was on one side of the lanai overlooking the bay, and in the evening the sunset was on the other. It was magical. The owners were very communicative and helpful. We even harvested some of the on-property papayas!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: we had a fantastic stay at pine trees villa in Hanalei. The house was spot on for our needs with 4 adults and 4 kids between 6 and 2 years old. Hanalei bay is as close as I have seen to paradise!!!The house was beutifullt finished really well appointed with everthing we could need. In great location with surf break right out the front and a short drive or walk into town. You could wake up too views of the mountains or ocean depending on what room you where in which was spectacular. The town itself is laid back and relaxed, yet refined with great restaurants and coffee available as well as simpler offerings to cater to all needsWe will be staying here again as 5 days did not feel like enough. minimum two weeks next time.

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: Very well appointed home. Beautifully done and decorated. All 3 bedrooms have their own baths. The master is big and has cool bamboo furniture with a comfortable bed The jacuzzi bath is great to soak in after surfing the 2 breaks you can see from the deck. The parking lot in front did not affect us. The kitchen has all the gadgets. Could use some curtains in the master to block out the street light, the see-through ones up are beautiful to look through to the mountains, but not so great at night. They had 4 soft top surf boards, boogie boards, beach chairs and pretty much anything you could need at the beach. No bikes. A ton of games were available. Great walk from the house to the beach. Be prepared to carry your stuff up stairs. This was difficult when we first moved in with a lot of groceries. Kind of cool to stay in a surfing legend's old home. It sure comes with the best views in Hanalai!
