The home is lovely and spacious. The location is unbeatable. The owner and property manager were very gracious and attentive to our needs. We enjoyed so much wonderful family time here. AC is only in the bedrooms but we quickly adjusted to the fans throughout the common areas.

Every single element of our stay at the Dolphin House was perfect for us. We were a group of eight, six adults and two young children. The home had ample room for all of us easily. The large, sweeping backyard lawn provided endless area for getting outdoors with the littles and romping around. Easy beach and town access, all easily walkable. The inside living area also was wonderfully large with loads of room for us all. We used a wagon for our 2 granddaughters to walk into town. We've been visiting Kauai for 35 years. Staying at the Dolphin House was one of the best experiences we've had visiting Kauai.

Hanalei Bay is one of the most beautiful places on earth and this house is ideally located on it. We had a wonderful week with my family of 8 at the house. We swam every day and loved the ease of walking down the manicured lawn to the beach. Also the landscaping in general is top notch. The landscaping lighting at night is gorgeous. We played frisbee on the huge lawn, grilled steaks, ate on the patio, etc. A wonderful place and you'd be lucky to stay here.
Jennifer, the property manager, was very helpful and accommodating to our schedule that got thrown off by winter travel craziness.

I stayed here 10 years ago and nothing really has changed. Love the house and location but it’s time for some new towels and bedding. The outdoor patio chairs were uncomfortable. The owner was very attentive and quick to respond to a problem with the freezer door handle and very helpful leading up to and throughout our stay. Jessica put us in touch with Chef Christophe who came to the house and made a couple amazing meals for our group. Overall, was great experience, house just needs a few updates.

We had a wonderful time at Kai Nani. Great location, space for everyone, gorgeous surroundings and impeccable landscaping. Our only complaint was musty air conditioning in a couple rooms.

The house is absolutely phenomenal! We all absolutely loved staying there. The walk into Hanalei is super easy and the setting is unbelievably picturesque. We would go back in a heartbeat.

We have stayed at the Dolphin house 4 times over the last 10 years. The house is huge, and it is has a lot of sleeping options for big families. There are ground floor rooms for the grandparents, and a separate guest house for young families with babies. The house is ideally situated-- you just walk out the back door, and you are on the beach. You can also walk to town in less than 5 minutes for your morning coffee. The house is maintained impeccably, and it looks the same today as it did 10 years ago. There is no better spot to stay in Kauai!

The Dolphin house was immaculate! Everyone in our party was comfortable and in awe of the living, sleeping and outdoor space. Jessica was very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. Words do not describe the yard that leads to the beach. The grounds are very manicured and make it lovely to sit outside and enjoy the natural beauty all around. The kitchen was great for cooking a big breakfast and eating the at table on the lanai ...wow...
Thank you Mark and Carlee and Jessica. It was a perfect family vacation!

We loved our stay at Kai Nani. The location was perfect with views of the ocean and easy access to the beach. The kitchen was very well supplied with all the pots and pans and cooking utensils needed which made meal preparation easy but the knives were quite which was frustrating at times. The house and grounds were great for kids and the manager helped us coordinate a crib and stroller for our infant son which was very helpful.
