Nice property. We had a wonderful stay for a month and look forward to returning. Location is key. We had three in our party 80 years or older and the close proximity to town was a big plus.Property is well maintain with just two issues observed: The bottom tread on the stairs to front door is broken off on right ride. Making step uneven and awkward. Fine if you know its there--and remember! Second is there has been algy builkd up in drive way--when wet--its slippery like an ice rink - a good power wash is in order.Neither issue would keep us from returning.

We chose Hanelai, Kauai as a family-of-11 destination as none of us had ever before visited the north shore of Kauai. The Bird's Nest rental was perfectly located as we could walk either to town or to the beach in just minutes. FYI, we rented another house to accommodate our large family just across the street. We especially loved the Bird's Nest's 2nd-floor deck views of the lush mountains to the west. When not out and about, we spent most of our time on the deck playing dominoes, reading, gathering for meals, etc...I would recommend that the owner clear the living room of some clutter, namely stacks of books. Afa as the upstairs kitchen, improvements needed include providing more flatware (we ran out of forks a lot), making sure the cooking utensils are in working order (we threw away a rusted lemon press; the can opener did not work; and we had to have the microwave replaced). I recommend giving the kitchen drawers a wipe down after each rental. We really loved having a 2nd refrigerator downstairs, given the size of our family and the fact that we cooked in most of the time. I would definitely recommend this property to a relative or friend. The property manager was very responsive whenever I reached out to her. Hanelai is a magical place...we will be back!

Very comfortable for our family of 4. We didn't use the 3rd bedroom - we'd anticipated our older child would sleep there but it really is a separate apartment quite detached from the main living space. The house was clean and quiet (those windows really block out the roosters!) and we loved the beach toys/boogie boards. The outdoor shower was a highlight for each of us! Thank you for the wonderful stay.

Our stay at the Bird's Nest was great. Amazing views and an even better location. Being one block from the town center and two blocks from the beach, getting around was seamless and quick. We enjoyed happy hour on the amazing deck and outdoor showers after a long day at the beach. It was the perfect house for our family.

The house was, in many ways, perfect for our family. We loved the birds who visited and the deck off of the living room was a pleasant place to gather or just relax.My only complaints are that you should be certain all light bulbs are in working order, the bamboo shades are old and don't operate well, the sheets are of poor quality, and the shower in the downstairs unit was lacked power. My son used the outside shower. You should check the ice maker. The ice it produces has a foul taste.

We absolutely loved staying here - the house is the perfect distance between beach and town. The lanai is incredible for sitting, reading, conversations. Love Hanalei and this house and we will be back! Also, the property company is super helpful and responsive.

We loved staying in this lovely home in Hanalei. Everything was well-stocked and the decor was fabulous. Location could not have been better.

This is a charming "Old Hawaii" property with a convenient location that is walkable to the beach and to the town of Hanalei. It does sit on a very busy road that people take to the beach and there's always a lot of noisy traffic passing by. It is very spacious with a lot to offer a little younger crowd. We are all seniors and the steep stairs proved to be challenging for us. There are A LOT of them. My favorite part was the outdoor shower with hot water and a "Rain" shower head with a handheld option. I just loved it. The lanai is large and fabulous with a view of the mountains. The house definitely needs updating to get a five star rating. The blinds in the bedrooms need to be replaced, the bathtubs/showers are the originals from the mid-90's. It is fully air-conditioned, although the AC broke for a few days in the living area, and the west facing windows heated up the room quickly. They got it fixed right before we left. The garage door was a disaster. It's probably the original as well. The guys who came out to look at it said it should have been replaced many years ago. It didn't stop when I hit stop and came down on my brother's car, knocking the whole door off the rails. That happened the first day so it was not usable the two weeks we were there. They have lots of great stuff in the garage, inc. tons of swim toys, chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and two bikes. We had a wonderful time and loved being able to easily walk into town. Very good property, but can only give it 4 stars.

I would give the home itself and the location 5 stars and would stay there again with my family. The reason for marking 4 stars Is because of some lack of communication from the property management company about a road closure. It ended up we could not make it to the house the first night, but they were fair and gave us credit for that night.
Everything else was great. The house is comfortable and lovely, especially the combined living room - kitchen area and the porch (lana) with its spectacular views of the mountains (even better than comes across in pictures). This can be rented as 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, which was perfect for our group of 6. Note that one bedroom and bathroom is like a separate apartment (with its own kitchen) on the floor below. That made it perfect for parents who may want some privacy from other adults and older kids, but parents with small kids would want to consider how that would work for them, or this house can probably be rented as a two bedroom (those two are right across from each other on the upper floor where the kitchen, living room, and porch are.)
I cannot say enough about how perfect the location is. It was just 3-4 blocks to walk to the beautiful beach or 1-2 short blocks to be in the middle of the cute town. That was incredibly convenient so that everyone in our party could be independent (family with teenagers/ young adults 15-23). We loved Hanalei and will be back, and we would rent this house again.
