Vacation Rental Details

Hanalei Happy Place (Main House)

Permitted Vacation Rental Property - TVNC#1158
Transient vacation rental is located in the tsunami evacuation zone

Hanalei Bay, located on Kauai’s stunning North Shore, is two miles of beautiful sandy beach surrounded by majestic mountains with cascading waterfalls. Nestled between the mountains and the beach is the lovely little town of Hanalei. Between Hanalei Bay and Hanalei town, is Hanalei Happy Place – a two-bedroom main home and guest house studio designed by award-winning architect Bob Easton. If you are looking to get away from it all, this is the perfect destination!

Hanalei Happy Place is located on a quiet street with lush garden and pristine vintage-Hawaii views overlooking the historic Kanoa Fish Pond and tropical forest. The property itself is a beautiful garden setting with colorful, fragrant flowers and local Hawaiian fruit trees. The tropical surroundings will gently lull you into Polynesian paralysis where agendas will fade, time will slow and the laid back lifestyle will take over. Suddenly it’s slippers, boardshorts and bikinis. It’s the perfect place to unplug and enjoy the moment.

Hanalei Happy Place consists of a two-bedroom, two-bath main house that accommodates four with an attached but separate bungalow studio that can accommodate two. They can be rented together or separately depending on the size of your party. Each has its own kitchen and little perks. The main house has a private deck with gas grill and hot tub while the guest house comes with television and air conditioning. You can be carefree and car-free. It is an easy 100 yard walk or bike to Hanalei Bay beach or a 10 minute walk to Hanalei town from the property. Hanalei Happy Place or Hanalei Happy Place Bungalow is the premiere Hawaiian style rental to unwind and get away from it all.

If you want to stay in an authentic family home in a real (not resort built) town, this is the place. The home is beautiful, tasteful, and full of real old-style Hawai’iana. This includes authentic artwork, a real longboard made of koa wood and authentic mid century collectibles from Honolulu gift shops c. 1950’s and 60’s. In addition, the home is one block from the beach and three blocks from the town. Hanalei, is an authentic, (not resort built) town with everything you need for a perfect vacation including a wide price range of shops and restaurants. You can even get “box lunch” and “shave ice” in town in addition to local fine dining style restaurants with fresh caught fish. The house is open air and has a beautiful new deck complete with hot tub and, best of all, a private outdoor shower with hot water. There are family and visitor keepsakes and a beautiful quiet garden filled with orchids and exotic tropical plants. The home is even better than depicted in the VRBO website photos, which is a first for me. Best of all you’ll be in a quiet residential neighborhood one block from the beach and three blocks from town. I will definitely be back hopefully with my kids and grandkids in the next couple of years. Mahalo, Gail Wright Ka Makani class of’78

Reviewer Comments:
The location is AMAZING you are within walking distance of Hanalei bay, downtown, the jacuzzi is hot & very secluded (minus the camera), you can walk to the Dolphin restaurant(highly recommended)that has fresh local fish of the day/sushi(just walk straight out the back of the property and go to the right once you hit the trail), the wildlife is so amazing/abundant(the Nene’s(look like geese) plus tons of (chickens/roosters), they have everything you need(chairs boogie boards, hats, washer and dryer, coffee maker, tons of dishes, spices, games & anything else you could think of), has an outdoor shower, avocado and mango trees in backyard)the home is decorated so Kauai you can feel the vibe the second you open the door, plus you could entertain for at least 20 people, newly updated bathrooms(shower only no tubs) and parking is not an issue.A few things to warn you about: windows are 1/3 screen(I had a lizard running up my back the first night) so no a/c, two queen beds that will be hard for the next 20 years and a bed in the hallway, roosters that wake you up at 4:30 am-7:30 pm(a nap is impossible fyi) because they do their thing until sunset, no tv, and there is a unit that you share the property with at the front of the house that has the same 10-15 stair entrance(you have no privacy here because your windows are 1/3 of the way open even with shades closed and they have a/c which I was extremely jealous of).It was a nice vacation but had to buy extra fans(wished it was ann an/c unit but can’t do with 1/3 of each window being open) and some padding for the beds because our backs hurt so bad after just one night. They allowed us to check in early which was nice. If you’re looking for the TRUE vibe of Hanalei bay this is your place.

Reviewer Comments:
We loved this spot. The decor was incredibly well done and very authentic Hawaiian. You immediately felt like you were on vacation walking through the door. The backyard was expansive and super private. The home was very well equipped and cared for. When we arrived a pack and play was set up for our toddler as well as a baby gate. And fresh flowers was a nice touch! 5 stars! We will be back.
