Due to late booking, we used three locations for our vacation which actually worked perfectly as we focused our outings by area. This location in North Shore was by far our favorite. The highlights were right across from the most amazing sunset, while the other side of the house had complete opening into the views of the mountains, which came with rainbows and numerous birds. Absolutely perfectly clean, everything worked very well, we even got to use the grill on one of the nights on the balcony, which was very convenient and homey. Also best of all, we were able to walk to the best snorkeling beach on Kauai in our opinion which was Hideaways beach. Also a lovely walk to the 1 Hanalei hotel and its restaurant as well as lovely views into the Hanalei Bay. Look forward to going back. PS the washer/dryer were perfect for the Red dirt there :)
We enjoyed staying at the property. The location and views are what makes this place so nice. Easy access to North shore attractions and food as well as great views of the mountains and a view of the water from the kitchen table. Perhaps a bit of paint touch up needed in a few spots, but overall a great place to stay.
This rental exceeded our expectations! They had everything you needed, plus some! It was even better than the listing showed!
The best part about this property by far is the beautiful view of both the ocean and mountains. The property is cozy, comfortable and clean. Parking was easy, and right across the street is a great ocean lookout spot.
Loved it. Would totally recommend it
Comfortable beds, nice view and location. Kitchen is minimally stocked with items needed to cook. Unit has only one good beach chair. The wall decor and mirrors looks tired and needs updated. Night stands look bad and need replaced.
The accommodation was perfect. This inside space, the lanais, the location were excellent. I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived. I would stay there again
Friend and I stayed 3 nights here after staying in a little old house in Hanalei bay for 3 nights. We absolutely loved this villa for it's breathtaking views, balconies, gorgeous bedrooms, jungle noises, and location across from the ocean bluff with wonderful sunsets. It was roomy, especially for the two of us, clean, and nicely appointed. True, no a/c which would have been great, but for us the fans were fine. You have to make your way though a golf course and other lodgings, but this one feels very private and safe. I would book this place again and stay longer. Thank you managers and owners, please send me a discount code and I'm coming back next year for at least a week!!! 100 percent recommend.
The home where we stayed was across the street from a wonderful spot to watch the sunset. We had a lovely chorus of birds that sang to us every morning in the grove between the house and the golf course.
This property is ideally located for north island visits to Hanalei and the Napali coast. Although we had a good deal of rain during our April stay, we trekked to the south side of Kauia for sun, beach time, and a Waimea Canyon visit. This cottage was ideal for our party of four with space for privacy, cooking our own meals, and enjoying time on the lanai.
Loved our stay at HBV. The location was perfect - gorgeous mountain and waterfall views off the primary bedroom and living room balconies (with tropical bird visitors every morning), ocean views from the breakfast nook, and across the street from a lookout to Makana. Hideaways Beach and the 1 Hotel Hanalei beach were close too. We were appreciative of the liquid hand soaps in every bathroom, generous samples of shampoo, conditioner, lotion and shower gel too. Having a washer and dryer in the unit was key - extra bonus for the detergent pods in the unit for us to use. We also made use of the beach chair with backpack straps and took it to the beach with us several times. Unit was clean but could use a deeper cleaning (floor while swept needs a good scrub as do the stair rails, curtains need a freshen up). We know to expect bugs in Hawaii, so we kept the kitchen clean and everything in the fridge, but ants were frequently in and around the sink whenever we returned. Just something for future tenants to be aware of. We found the unit perfect for our needs and couldn’t get over the location - we’ve been to Princeville/Hanalei many times before and think this is our favorite property yet! Mahalo!
