About this house rental
The Wai'oli, an upscale beach home with AC in the bedrooms is part of a duplex. A short stroll from the beach, granite counters, travertine floors, Hawaiian style furnishings, top line appliances, stainless steel BBQ & outdoor shower in your private back yard await you (Standard & Maximum Occupancy is 4). Cool and relaxing, convenient to all the North Shore beaches. .
A two-minute stroll will bring you to Wai'oli Beach Park in the center of Hanalei Bay. A few blocks away lies the Hanalei town center with eclectic shops, beach toy rentals (masks, boards, kayaks and bicycles), market, fish store and excellent restaurants.
It's all in the neighborhood, and Hanalei is a great neighborhood with a fabulous bay, beautiful mountains, waterfalls and rainbows. These are the best rates in Hanalei for this quality and proximity to the bay.
With all the Hanalei has to offer, well maintained calming space so close to the bay & Hanalei town, this is a fabulous value for a larger group & multi-generational families.
There are 2 bedrooms, one king, 2 twins, and 2 full baths. A hot and cold outside shower for after the beach is a wonderful plus.

Evacuation instructions will be in the house and notice of the tsunami evacuation zone will be part of your contract.

Our family of four stayed here for five nights in July. The house was well appointed and a short walk to the beach. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was well appreciated. The kitchen was great to cook in. The kids loved the loft area. Easy access to Hanalei for shopping and dining. A great springboard location for local beaches and other experiences.

We loved this house so much we didn’t want to leave! Perfect location a block from the beach. Right by town. Loved the hot outdoor shower and the private yard was perfect for morning workouts. View from kitchen window is gorgeous

The property is well equipped and set up for a long family getaway. We stayed for 7 days and didn't want to leave. The house is spacious, and the bedrooms are comfy and air conditioned. It's very well located... a 10 minute walk to organic and regular markets, and a 5 minute walk to a great swimming & surfing beach, and 15 minute drive to snorkeling at Tunnels beach to the west or Anini beach to the east, and a close walk or drive to fantastic restaurants if you don't want to cook. From our experience, this is the best side of the island, and this house is a perfect home base from which to experience it.

This is a really nice place to stay in Hanalei. Beautiful, spacious kitchen and comfortable beds. It's a short 2 block walk to the beach and even the property is on the main road, it's quiet and peaceful. Really nice to have a/c in the bedrooms. The house has just about everything you need for the beach (but you'll need to rent boogie boards if you want that). I would definitely stay here again. I have rented with the management company before and they are very responsive and professional.

We normally stay in hotels but decided to try a house this time and we are so glad we did! We were married in Hanalei 23 years ago and wanted to bring our teenage daughters to see the area. The house was perfect for our family of four. The girls had their own room and bathroom which was great and the proximity from the house to the beach and town were both amazing! The house was so well stocked and clean. And, it was quiet except for an occasional rooster. LOL We enjoyed cooking at the house and we used the beach chairs and towels for our daily visit to the beach. The washer and dryer were clean and new and convenient. We had everything we needed and could not have asked for a better experience at this property. We will definitely be back.

One block from the beach and walkable to town and restaurants. House was clean and as described. Beach accessories can use some updating. We enjoyed the property.

This 2-bedroom was perfect for 4 adults. The rooms were great and both had AC units, which were much appreciated. The kitchen, dining room and living room were comfortable and spacious. The kitchen was well-stocked with utensils and appliances. The location was great, just a short walk from Pine Trees parking lot and beach. We were very happy here and would definitely come back.

We had a great time over a 4 day weekend in Hanalei at this clean and well-furnished house that is perfectly located ~1/2 mile from Hanalei center (so easy access, but without the people and traffic closer to town). It was a VERY rainy weekend, and there was more than enough space for 4 adults (2 couples) to both spend time together, and have time alone. With the rain, did not get to use the lanai/backyard much, but it looked really nice. Hanalei itself is such a great little town, especially this time of year before the tourists come in throngs. Highly recommend this house (and this rental company, great folks who were easy to work with, and responsive).

This is a great spot in Hanalei. Walking distance to the beach, we went everyday. Beautiful view of the mountains and waterfalls out the kitchen window. Kitchen was well equipped, we cooked in every night. Outdoor shower was a huge bonus after beach time, and the outdoor grill was great. We will be back for sure.
5.0 / 5.0
We had a terrific stay! The location is just amazing--a two minute walk from the beach, right near a wonderful break called Middles, where we loved surfing every day. The hosts were helpful and the yard/outdoor space was even better than it looked in the pictures. The interior wasn't as bright as I expected, based on the pictures, but it was nice and spacious. We hope to stay again!

Great house. Location is perfect - close to beach and town. Nice kitchen to cook in and comfortable rooms. Back yard was nice to shower off after the beach and clean gear. Would def stay here again.

Just as others have written, this is a comfortable home with a very well stocked kitchen that is super convenient (1.5 blocks) to the beach. The proximity let us maximize beach time because we could quickly walk over when the rain stopped.

Walk to Hanalei town. Truly 4 minute walk to beach. Dinner at AMA, Bar Acuda (get reservations far enough in advance) and breakfast and lunch at Hanalei Bread. Thanks to Beach and Bluff for sharing your beautiful home!!

We were very pleased with our rental. The house was as advertised - actually a bit nicer! Clean, spacious with a cute yard and easy walk to a spectacular beach. Well located for exploring Kauai. As stated, the A/C is only for the bedrooms, but that was completely adequate. The kitchen was very well appointed and we enjoyed cooking during our stay.

Loved the property and proximity to the beach and Hanalei town. The property is on the highway but it is not loud. The views of the mountains from the front door and kitchen window are spectacular. House was very clean and comfortable. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Lovely property within walking distance to the beach. Has A/C in the two bedrooms but not the main living area. Owner has provided 4 fans to help but still quite warm in the main living areas. Property managers are very responsive and helpful and were great helping us when we had unexpected changes in our plans.

Clean, great back yard, kitchen has everything you need. Great to AC in the downstairs bedrooms as the breeze just did not go through the living room and kitchen. Fans helped. Parking is easy and very close to town.
5.0 / 5.0
This home is just about as perfect as it gets for a stay on the North Shore. It's close enough to Hanalei town that you can drive in a few minutes or walk in 10-15, but also far enough away that it's quiet and peaceful. We were blown away at the beauty just outside the doorstep, not to mention everywhere we ventured during our week on Kauai. The beach is a two-minute walk away. One tip - when you walk to the beach, you go right to go into town and to the pier. But don't forget to walk left at least once, because you'll come to the confluence of the Waioli stream and the bay, and it's truly a magical spot, especially around sundown.

Great home and location. However, the loft is not usable as they need another ac unit up there. They shouldnt advertise it as a sleeping area. It must be over 100 degrees up there. The twin beds were too small for my 22-year-old so recommend they exchange those for extra-long twins so adult siblings can sleep in the same room. Lots of pots and pans, dishes, newer washer and dryer. Great distance to the beach, coffee, restaurants and stores.
5.0 / 5.0
Loved the location! We were at the beach every day and my kids could easily walk to town. Upstairs room is too hot to be slept in so all three of my kids slept in the downstairs room. Beach toys were great! Only had two rolls of toilet paper in the house, no trash bags and no laundry detergent so that was kind of annoying but I just bought some and left them at the house.
5.0 / 5.0
This property was wonderful for our two boys (6 and 7) and myself w our nanny. The location couldn’t be better, as you are close to the beach and to town. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with a spacious cooking area and dining room. We really felt like we had room to spread out. We really appreciated the boogie boards and sun chairs that were available for our use. This is a wonderful property and we will definitely be back!
5.0 / 5.0
We absolutely loved our stay. The views while doing dishes, the well stocked kitchen, space, nearness to the beach, and we loved Hanalei!
5.0 / 5.0
This was our 4th stay on the North Shore of Kauai and this house was hands-down the most convenient location. My family likes to surf and being right on Hanalei allowed us to pick up the boards and go whenever we wanted.
The house was clean and very spacious. The kitchen is well stocked with all the cooking hardware you'll need. Having beach chairs and umbrellas was nice and we used those each day as well.
Our only minor critique would be that the shower heads need to be replaced or de-scaled. The water pressure was not good and it would have been nice to get a solid shower after a long day at the beach.
5.0 / 5.0
Not even a 2min easy walk to the beach, we enjoyed everything about this house - location, quiet neighborhood, huge size, well-stocked kitchen, beach chair availability. We were very happy with this property. Thank you!

We stayed in the smaller half of the duplex, which was perfect. We were very close but not on top of my daughter and her family. Everything was as advertised, except that the dryer didn't work, but there was a taped note above it saying that a part had been ordered. Fortunately we could go next door to do laundry. Also the street was noisy and hard to walk along into town, but doable without young kids. The walk to the beach was easy.
5.0 / 5.0
A great stay overall. The house is on the smaller side, but very cosy and comfortable (we are a family of 4). It has great views to the mountains with a short walk to the beach. If you are up to for a longer walk, you can get to BigSave and other shops in about 10min (use Weke Rd, as Kuhio Hwy doesn't have a sidewalk in some places).

This house was a perfect spot for our family. Located close to Hanalei Bay and the town of Hanalei. Would stay here again.

My husband and I stayed here for 3 days and wish we could have stayed longer! You can not ask for more when it comes to location for a property. You are just minutes walking distance to downtown Hanalei and you basically roll out of bed onto Hanalei Bay beach! It is also just a quick minute drive to beautiful tunnels beach and the drop off point for the Kalalau Trailhead. There was a really cute farmer market on Tuesday afternoon as well in walking distance from the house. We got to try a bunch of new fruits and purchase them for snack at the house! The washer and dryer was an amazing bonus as well! We would absolutely recommend this property!
5.0 / 5.0
This property is located about two weeks from the beach, which is fantastic. It was clean, comfy, and well equipped.
As noted in the listing, only the bedrooms are air conditioned, and the living area can get a bit warm if you're used to cooler climates.
While internet was provided, it was a bit slow, though I suspect that's probably just Hanalei.
Overall, this was a great place to stay for our vacation, and will serve you especially well if your plan is to spend a lot of time at Hanalei bay.
