Amazing location, huge green lawn to play games, great beach location, and walking distance from downtown. Something for everyone. We loved this property and hope to return.

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.

The location on the bay, views, and gardens/landscaping make this property very special. It was an unforgettable family trip.

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.

We stayed here 7 years ago and again this last June. There simply are no words to describe how magical this property is. The location is unbeatable and the pictures do it no justice. Staning on the lawn with the ocean waves breaking in front of you and turning around to see the lush mountians of Kauai with 12 cascading waterfalls! It's as if you stepped into Fantasy Island. Mark is a gracious owner and we can't thank him enough for opening his home to our family and friends for our stay. Just try to find a better alternative on Kauai, it's IMPOSSIBLE! So, if you can afford it, don't even think about waiting to book! Get that reservation going pronto or you will be out of luck next time you check the VRBO calendar. Thank you Mark!
