Property Description
Indulge all your senses from this ocean-view, 3-bedroom, 2-bath Hanalei beach home.
If you were any closer to the waves of Hanalei Bay, you’d need flippers. You’ll hear the surf from every room in this three-bedroom, two-bath beach house that’s a mere 80 steps from the velvety sands of world-famous Hanalei Bay, considered the best beach in all of Hawaii. Tucked away on a short cul-de-sac street, this 1,900-square-foot home’s elegant design, superior location in Hanalei and spectacular views offer guests a memorable immersion in a tropical wonderland.
Fully remodeled and furnished to anticipate vacationers’ every need, the charms of this extraordinary home are evident the moment you step onto the property, lushly landscaped with plumeria and orchids under a canopy of papaya and coconut palm trees. On the breakfast bar, find a gift basket of local artisan chocolate, Hawaiian spices and discount coupons that will introduce you to favorite Kauai treats and adventures—ice cream, bike rentals and a catered dinner.
Kick off your sandals and rinse the day’s sand from your toes in the elegant foot bath or hot-water outdoor shower, then step up to the expansive second story. The home’s open-floor plan brings ocean and garden views into the combined kitchen and dining area, where you’ll routinely gather to recount the day’s adventures. Leaf through our book of suggestions for hiking, dining and sightseeing, or borrow beach gear for a day of sunny recreation. Be inspired by the home’s gallery-worth photography of Kauai landmarks to plan your next outing.
Strategically located windows open to the cooling ocean breezes and bring a light, airy atmosphere to every room. Arranged to offer privacy for couples, friends or families, this ideal vacation getaway with 12-foot cathedral ceilings immerses guests in the island’s laid-back lifestyle. In no time, you’ll be dining outside on the lanai (that’s what some call a deck or porch), sipping coffee outside the master bedroom in the morning and gathering for an ocean-view meal at night. With a kitchen outfitted for the most discerning chefs, you’ll be turning out quick meals on the barbecue gas grill with ease.
The private master suite has a king bed, large closet, dressing area, adjoining bathroom and access to a private lanai. There are two spacious guest bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the second guest bedroom with two twin beds that can convert to a king if needed. Both of these rooms have beautiful views of the lush tropical landscaping surrounding this home.
In anticipation of our guests’ every need, the electronic front door locks require no keys to pick up, share or return. There is a large flat-screen TV, and high-speed Wi-Fi powers all your devices. The kitchen is fully stocked to meet all of your dining needs including shopping bags for your Farmer’s Market visits, basic seasonings and cleaning supplies. The downstairs laundry room features an over-sized washer and dryer. Throughout the home, labels and instructions aid familiarity with the house and appliances.
At sundown, you’ll soon appreciate the origin of Sunset Hale’s name. Sip a frosty cocktail as the setting sun nightly washes you with its crimson rays and reflect on yet another day in paradise.

Loved the proximity to the beach, the jungle feel, the deck for eating and sharing. The neighbors behind us were noisy early in the morning sometimes late at night. We enjoyed their fruit stand though. Appreciated the fans for air and noise cover. Always love the roosters. Dianna cleaned half way through our stay… thank you. She was great. Appreciated the beach chairs and boogey boards and washer and dryer. It was an easy house, lots of towels and kitchen equipment… we love Hanalei. Thank you

First time visitors to Kauai. We couldn’t have picked a better location on the island. The bay was breathtaking and the mountains with waterfalls behind the house was amazing. The house was clean and had a wonderful layout. It was a very close walk to the beach and an easy drive to restaurants and shopping. We fell in love with the small village and laid back atmosphere. Would stay again!!!

This is our second time staying here and we were just as happy as the first time. Steps to the beach make early morning sunrise walks on the beach a breeze as well as the most beautiful sunsets! The home is always comfortable and clean with all of the amenities we need to enjoy our stay. The owners are the best! They always leave special treats upon arrival and since this was our second stay we were gifted a few extra special treats during our visit! Thank you for providing this beautiful home in the stunning Hanalei Bay for us to make the most wonderful memories with our family!

We couldn’t have asked for a better location. My family wanted to surf, boogie board, hike and relax. This location was right by the beach, walking distance to the town( shave ice) and very close to the national park. We loved being on Hanalei Bay, we feel that the experience wouldn’t have been the same in Princeville. We found the beds comfortable, there were tons of fans, kitchen was well stocked and we would love to come back. If I could make a suggestion, although didn’t alter my rating, It’s so nice to have a working beach umbrella.

We loved our stay. Beautiful, clean home. Steps to the beach, walking distance to town shops and restaurants. Easy access to Haena shuttle for the park and a great location to explore all the north shore has to offer.

The Sunset Hale was absolutely gorgeous. My wife's family and I spent a week there and found it spotless, spacious, and serene. The house is literally just off the beach at Pine Trees. The owners stocked the rental with a half dozen beach chairs, beach towels, and even a beach umbrella. The kitchen is well appointed with all the appliances you'll need, plus a rice cooker. My only complaint would be that some sharper knives would have been nice. The bedding was comfortable, as was the living room furniture. The lanai was one of the best features. We would sit out at the spacious table and eat breakfast and watch all the surfers and beachgoers walk by. There was also a huge gas grill that was immaculately maintained. While my wife and I have made nearly a dozen trips to Kauai, this was our in-laws first time and I'm afraid we may have ruined all future trips for them by setting the bar so high!

Sunset Hale was a perfect oasis - close to the beach and a short walk to town but tucked away with privacy and greenery. It has all the amenities you need, including a lovely lanai and outdoor shower. The house is thoughtfully designed and stocked. It stays cool during the day, and has plenty of room for family/entertaining. The owners and housekeeper were gracious and welcoming.

It was a perfect stay in Hanalei with the property having everything we needed and walking to the beach and reatuarants of Hanalei. We were concerned about no AC as my husband is an asthma sufferer but it wasn’t an issue in the slightest. the numerous fans and trade winds made for perfect sleeping conditions. The owners left a little gift basket with recommendations and gift cards to local shops and when using a gift card at Pinks creamery, the person working there saw the gift card and said oh these owners are the best. We had that feeling but it was so nice to know how much they support local business on the beautiful island of kauai. Amazing recommendations. There was actually an island wide power outage the night before we checked out and we were quickly and easily able to find candles and matches. It really is the first time we have stayed anywhere where we felt like everything was thought of and left out for the renters and not stashed away in an owners closet. Wouldn’t hesitate to return. Most beautiful section of Hanalei beach. Loved loved. Thank you!

We loved staying at Sunset Hale. It was clean upon arrival, well appointed in all rooms, VERY convenient to the beach and the town of Hanalei, ample storage and nice beach amenities were provided. The rooms were all very comfortable with really nice screened windows and doors. Keyless entry made it easy for our whole family to come and go as we pleased. The kitchen was well equipped. We will be back - mahalo!

This lovely home was the perfect location for our family vacation. Just one house from the beach, it made getting to the beach easy and very doable for just a couple of hours at a time. The home cooled down at night, but may be too warm for some people. We would stay here again.
