We recently stayed at this charming house in Hanalei and overall had a delightful experience. The location was just perfect - walkable to all the shops and the beach. The house itself was great - very comfortable. Beautiful private yard and large covered lanai with a large dining table to eat outside.
The kitchen was stocked! Anything you need, you will find it! Need a garlic press? There were TWO! I did read another review stating the equipment looked like it was from a thrift shop - and that may be, it was a bit worn, but I was not expecting brand new everything. I loved having the variety - worked perfectly for us as we cooked every night. I also loved that they had a compost bin (we compost at home and I loved the ability to continue my usual habits).
There are 3 bedrooms - the one with 2 twins also has a large desk (was convenient for my husband who had to take a few work calls).
There were a few minor issues - the oven was not super clean and the dishwasher latch did not work, therefore we had to wash most dishes by hand. The furniture could use an upgrade, but most places we have rented in Kauai in this price range are similar. These were not dealbreakers for me and to be fair, I did try to call the property management company to alert them, missed the call back and did not try again. I was enjoying my vacation too much to bother with the small things!
Despite these issues, I would recommend the house and would definitely stay here again!

House was comfortable and felt like we were staying in a friend's home rather than a sterile rental, an excellent location of course for our 2 year old and grandparents, the lanai was perfect for hanging with family and the outdoor shower was absolutely clutch for post-beach sand removal! We would absolutely stay again and the communication was great along the way.
Charming garden & nice lanai

Fantastic location right between beach and town. We loved the giant beautiful garden - and the nicely large lanai has a great view. Kitchen was well stocked and had everything you could need. Overall a very comfy stay for our family. Could use some refreshed furnishings and cushions and cleanup of house and garden supplies downstairs.

RENTERS BEWARE! Book this house for the excellent Hanalei location and great property mgt only! The photos are old and show a bright home, it is not in reality. This is the 7th home we've rented in Hanalei, so I've had others to compare this 1 to. The furniture is VERY shabby, dated, faded & worn, especially on the lanai, which is where you want to spend time, not inside, that's for sure! Every chair cushion is faded & mildewed. Such a disappointment when you first enter the home! The floors are a dark cherry & seem to suck all the natural light out. Dingy walls, needs a fresh coat of paint. Rugs are grimy feeling, dark, dated and should be thrown out. Owners clutter is everywhere! Ugh, tote bins full of their stuff in every closet, bathroom cabinet full of their old stuff, just gross! The kitchen pans, dishes, glasses feel like they came from a thrift store. The very responsive property manager was kind enough to bring us new bed pillows, wine glasses & frying pans. No headboard on 1 of the beds, the "Beach Equipment" room is full of junk! Broken boogie boards, rusty never maintained bike, etc. Old garden hoses, 2X4s, roof tiles, worn out patio furniture & other junk greet you when you pull your car into the carport, a pleasant aloha spirit guest experience is definitely not on this homeowners mind. Nothing is high end here except the price we paid and the location. If you truly don't care about the interior and just want to be 5 houses from town and 6 houses to the beach, book it!!
Great property, close to town and beach. Had a wonderful time!

Well-maintained property in a beautiful location. Clean inside with lots of beach extras.

We loved staying at this property. Stayed with 2 kiddos and it was nice to be able walk to all the places around town. Only downside was the bedrooms that face the street were a little loud from foot traffic.
We loved our stay - perfect location and the house was comfortable for our group of 6 adults, beautifully furnished and had everything we needed to cook and the garden was gorgeous. We would definitely rent again.

The location can't be beat. S very short walk to Hanalei town and a block to the beach (Pavilions). The house was wonderful and had amazing outdoor spaces. A very large covered lanai with a table that seats 8 people and is on the second floor - where all fo the living spaces are - that has private views out to the mountains and the great backyard with beautiful gardens.

We really enjoyed this beautiful home in the heart of Hanalei. The view from the deck was just majestic, the beds were pretty comfortable, and we loved being able to walk to the beach or town so easily. Hanalei is one of our family’s favorite places in the whole world :)
Great location and well equipped property.
