This house was a wonderful place for a family vacation! The location was perfect, and the house layout was just what we needed. The place was well stocked with everything you would need for a Hawaiian vacation!

We came to Hanalei to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday. The house was the perfect home base for our group of nine. Proximity to town and the beach made walking almost everywhere we wanted to go easy. The large dining room table made for an ideal family gathering spot each evening for shared meals and card games. The upstairs master suite was a dreamy spot that made my husband feel like a birthday king! The backyard is lush and lovely, with lots of space for the kids to run around and a lovely covered porch to enjoy a drink and relax when the Kauai rain blessed us.
The host was easy to reach via text and extremely helpful and welcoming. Check in and check out were a breeze. We had everything we needed to make our 9 day stay comfortable and relaxing.

Loved this home! Great common areas for hanging out together and plenty of space for teens to escape! Road was definitely loud but the beach and town are both close. We read there are over 450,000 roosters on the island so we won’t even complain about them😉. The property manager, Hilary, was very kind, responsive and easy to work with!! I would come back to stay here again!

The house is in an excellent location in beautiful Hanalei, and is stunning itself. It was perfect for our large family group of nine people. Super close to the beach and shops. Hilary was a joy to deal with during the booking and check in process, and it was a treat to meet her in person when we checked out. A truly aloha experience.

The home was just as described with beds for everyone and lots of space for hanging out. The beach gear provided by the host was very good and we put it to good use. The beach was close and easy to get to and the teenagers enjoyed how close it was to town. We cooked in most of the time and took food to the beach for lunches. We really enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend this place.

Can't say enough good things about our stay in Hanalei. We will most certainly be returning to the Wailele Ikena house in the future.

We couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay at Hanalei Bay. This home is quality, pure Hawaiian, impeccable—inside and out—-full of amenities. The owners were quick to respond. We had the BEST experience so far with VRBO. Thanks so much!

The only thing that would have made our stay better would have been air conditioning, everything else was great.

What a special place. Loved our stay here in Hanalei at the Wailele Ikena house. We celebrated my moms 80th birthday together with family and made memories that will last a lifetime. Hilary was always helpful and quick to respond to us for any of our needs or questions. The location of the house is great we walked to the bay and rode bikes to the pier. Definitely looking forward to coming back again someday soon.

The ability of everyone having their own bedroom AND their own bathroom was awesome! There was enough space for everyone to have their own quiet time. The Master Bedroom upstairs was exceptional ! The kitchen was well stocked but really tight in space, making it hard for more than 1 person to be cooking in the kitchen at the same time. We also found the downstairs to be really dark (a little bit cave-like) compared to the natural light that came into the bedrooms. With all the dark wood and lack of natural light in the downstairs, it really was not as pleasant to hang as a family in the more common rooms. Also, the house is literally right next to the road / highway that runs through Hanalei. So, from a location standpoint, it was awesome due to easy access to town and the beach BUT the road noise was really loud in all the bedrooms and what was a nuisance was the trucks that went to the fish production locations across the street. You could hear the trucks backing out every morning between around 4am. We found the stove to be a little finicky too. The house was well stocked with beach gear, but I think it is time to replace some of the chairs and beach umbrellas. Again, the bedrooms, location to closeness to town and the beach were phenomenal, and I need to add the bathrooms were great as well, but there are definitely things that are not perfect which some of the other reviews do not call out.
