About this house rental

If you want a taste of old Hanalei when days were slower and a good catch fishing and the best vegetables were the talk of the town, this home will fill the order (Standard & Maximum Occupancy is 6). This property has been lovingly maintained since it was built. It is our family's privilege to share Aunty Lydia's homestead with folks from around the world.

Aunty Lydia's Ohana is a 3-bedroom 1.5 bath with carport. Inside you will find photos of this Hanalei family over the years. This home is only 6 houses from the beach (a very short stroll) and well located to reach all the North Shore's best beaches easily. This house is right off Kuhio Highway so you can see the surfers and North Shore life coming and going. It is about 3 blocks into "downtown" Hanalei. There is a great carport with a charcoal BBQ, eating al fresco & enjoying the mountain and waterfall views.

Aunty Lydia's Ohana is a relaxed Hawaiian style home a minute's walk from the center of Hanalei Bay & is probably one of the best values in Hanalei Beach Houses. Surrounded by tropical plants, with a grassy yard surrounding the house on 3 sides.

There is a very functional kitchen enhanced with lovingly stenciled foliage for preparing some of our farmer's market produce and fresh fish from the sea. This room has a pass through to the living room.

The wash house with a washer & dryer is just outside as well as an outside toilet room and a hot & cold shower in the yard.

The house sleeps 6, it's Standard and Maximum Occupancy. There is a king bed in the largest bedroom at the back of the house. A queen in the front bedroom and two twins in third bedroom. All bedrooms have their own air conditioners.

Hanalei is famous for its ever-changing mountains; sometimes veiled in thin mist, sometimes obscured in thick clouds, sometimes full of waterfalls, sometimes so sun drenched so that every detail stands out.

Aunty Lydia's is a great place to enjoy the mountains both from the living room windows and from the carport/lanai. Since there is plenty of room to park in front of the house in the yard, many choose this area as the eating & hang out spot. There is an outside table and chairs for al fresco meals.

Not long after our family set this house up as a vacation rental, some of Aunty Lydia's family from the mainland came to Hanalei & were tickled to be able to stay in their Aunty Lydia's house.

While being on Kuhio Highway, (highway in Hanalei meaning 1 lane in each direction with a 25-mile speed limit) the home has a beautiful hedge of tropical foliage separating you from the road. A parking area & the beginning of the yard are in front of the house.

Wai'oli Beach Park is a thin strip of park which is located between the bay front homes and the sand. There are BBQs, tables, shade trees, a bathroom and usually volleyball. This is where you encounter the bay, a minute or so from Aunty Lydia's. When you come home from the beach, there is a hot & cold outside shower to enjoy a freshwater rinse or shower under the stars.

The State of Hawaii requires a rental agreement. The rental agreement has different cancellation policies than VRBO.

Please be aware that when you book this house or any accommodations by the ocean in Hawaii, not on a bluff, you are booking in a tsunami evacuation zone. Evacuation instructions will be in the house and notice of the tsunami evacuation zone will be part of your contract. Also please know that we cannot accommodate charging of electric vehicles at this property.

We absolutely loved staying at Auntie Lydia's Ohana. The home itself is simple and laid out really well - it felt so comfortable and easy to be in for our family of 4. The location itself is a five (or less?) minute walk from a stunning beach - one of us loved running on beach in morning, then taking an outdoor shower when he returned! We also rented bikes so we could easily cruise to town. It was all exceptional, we had an amazing time and hope to return again some day. Thank you!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love this location in Hanalei and the house was perfect. It's quaint and reminiscent of a time gone by, but in a good way. The a/c in the bedrooms is a game changer and the outdoor shower is the best. Rent bikes and ride around town or just walk to the beach. We loved this stay.

This home had everything we needed. It felt like we were staying in a real family home. The very short walk to the beach is a huge, huge plus. The setting and scenery are lovely. We really appreciated that the house came with beach chairs, a small beach umbrella, a few beach towels, a small, soft cooler bag, and a very large cooler. The outdoor showers are truly wonderful. The back yard is nice, and the car port with table and chairs is a great staging area, and would be a good place to sit to wait out any rain. We could feel the family history in this house. It was a good vibe. The house is on the darker side inside, but this writer at least found it cozy, and we weren’t inside during the days. And no doubt it’s a bit cooler for not being all windows. The beds were comfortable. I would not hesitate to stay here again. (And as of this writing, there is a friendly black cat who comes around. I expect he’s food motivated. He’s good at what he does.)

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Mostly an excellent experience! The location is good - an easy walk to both the beach and town. It is right on the highway but that quiets right down in the evening. Lots of space for the 5 of us with comfortable beds and linens. The kitchen is very well stocked. We cooked all sorts of meals and had everything we needed - even a sharp knife!! The downside was the heat.. Thankfully the bedrooms have A/C but the rest of the house was intolerably hot during the day - even with the multitude of fans so thoughtfully provided. Also, the only outdoor place to sit was the carport off the highway which honestly is not very pleasant. We found we spent our time in the bedrooms to escape the heat. We certainly could not sit at the table and play a game or watch the television. The back yard was lovely - it there was a sitting area there in the shade it would have made a huge difference as it was usually cooler outside than in. The carpet could use a cleaning but everything else was fine. No dishwasher. Really appreciated that sufficient soap, TP and paper towels were provided for our stay. Manager responded promptly to my one question. Check in a breeze.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 6 spent almost 2 weeks here and it worked perfectly. The location is great, just a short walk to the beach and town. Having the 2 outdoor showers and outdoor toilet were key. The bedrooms are air-conditioned which is a nice touch.
