My husband and I love Hanalei. This unit has the perfect location, a 2 minute walk to the beach and 5 minute walk to shops and restaurants. Unit was stocked with everything we needed. Devaki was a wonderful host and very responsive. Totally recommend!

This unit was very nice; clean and well appointed. The only complaint we have was that there was a bothersome ant problem in the kitchen…we couldn’t leave anything out on the counters! It appeared that the ants had made their home behind the kitchen backsplash…very annoying

This rental is a studio unit - with a separate entrance - on the bottom floor of a two story house. It was clean with everything you would need (towels, beach chairs etc). Easy walk into town or the beach. Decor is not updated or upscale. The pictures are pretty accurate - older wood furniture and wall-to-wall pinkish carpet. To me, it was not a cottage and not romantic -- and not where I'd want to stay for my honeymoon. But it was clean and functional. The host made a nice effort to help us with an ant problem.

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Walking distance to center of Hanalei and the beaches. Very peaceful and relaxing. Thank you Devaki for explaining everything when we checked in and suggestions for places to eat.

We loved our stay here! The place was better then the pictures showed and the location could not be better! We will be back.

It was great!

For us, it was all about the location. Walking distance to everything! The studio is large with plenty of space for 2. We thought we would miss not having an ocean view but the amazing view of the mountains and waterfalls more than made up for it! We used the beach gear, bbq, and outdoor shower every day we were there. Thanks to our wonderful hostess for making us feel so welcome!

We enjoyed our stay

Devaki is super friendly and communication is super fast and attentive. The property is great!! Quick walk to hanalei restaurants and shops and an even quicker walk to the beach! I loved the outdoor showers. Most places on the island dont have AC but Devaki has supplied ample fans which do the trick. There's gorgeous views of the mountains from the bed side windows. This is the perfect place for couples enjoying some laid back time on the north side of the island!

This spacious well appointed studios with a fantastic view of the mountains is a bit of paradise. Location, location, location. A very short walk with Devaki’s beach chairs to one of the world’s most beautiful beaches and a few blocks into Hanalei town. One of our favorite places on the planet. Mahalo for renting to us, Devaki.

location is very convenient and wonderful! the walk to the town is easy, maybe 5 minutes. Beach walk even leas. you do have beach chairs and umbrella as well as coolers to take with you. the home is clean, comfy and serene. please note this home is all one big room which we were not aware of when booking. worked ok for us though if you have someone sleeping in the bedroom it's all the same room if you go that the kitchen of living. the host and renters in home attached are all friendly and gracious.

We had the best time in this sweet little studio apartment. Everything was perfect. Devaki was a wonderful host: considerate, welcoming and helpful.

Great location, easy to park & very clean stay!

We can't say enough good things about our stay at Devaki's beautiful space. Devaki is such a gracious, kind, thoughtful host and great communicator. The condo is in a perfect location...a 2-minute walk to a gorgeous beach and a 3-minute walk into the charming town of Hanalei. You would not need a car for this vacation. We had a marvelous time and will definitely be back in the future! Mahalo - Thank you!

It was a great location to get away from it all. Hanalei Bay is definitely a special place and we are glad we choose this property due to the proximity to the beach and local town.

We just spent one of the best weeks of our lives in this large studio bungalow about 1 block from beach access and an easy walk right up Aku Rd to all the restaurants and shops. Kept all the windows open because we love hearing the rain and the trade winds flow through the house. Davaki also has 3 multi speed oscillating fans if you want it cooler or move the air. The studio looks exactly like the picture. Great hot outdoor shower, hose for feet, 2 nice beach chairs and umbrella. Full size fridge, washer/dryer. We hope to book again it was so fantastic as is the owner Davaki. If you have a question about anything she’s super responsive.

Wonderful stay! Incredible views and perfect location!

My husband Bob and I love Hanalei Bay and consider it our Happy Place, having come here since 1976... We live in California and love the beach and sand between our toes. Devaki's cottage is perfect for the two of us and there is everything you need to enjoy your stay. 3 minute walk to the most beautiful pristine beach in the world and only minutes walk into the town of historic Hanalei... Devaki is incredible & very helpful in suggestions and we enjoyed forming a friendship that will last a lifetime. Bob & I are already looking forward to our return soon. Aloha & Mahalo nui loa Devaki Namaste & Love , Bob & Kathy

Clean, spacious, with a useful kitchen. Loved all the screened windows to get a cross-breeze and listen to the rain. Amazing location: easy to walk to the beach or to town.

Devaki was a wonderful host. We love the personal touches that she left for us and made everything very convenient. The proximity to the ocean and hanalei town could not be beat. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Clean, bright, airy, spacious home. 1 block from Hanalei Beach- the best beach in the area. Park your car and walk to the beach, or into town to shop, or eat at one of the numerous restaurants. Beautiful mountain views in one direction and ocean views in the other. Ceiling fans throughout, large kitchen, great wifi, walk-in shower, large BR counter space, hairdryer, stacked washer/dryer, outdoor shower to rinse after the beach. beach chairs, beach towels. even bug spray and Hawaiian music in the CD player! We were worried about no AC as it was unseasonably hot for March but the nights cooled off a few degrees more than the rest of the island/and other islands, and there’s a constant nice breeze. My husband is always hot and we were comfortable with the fans. If I had to do it over again I would have stayed our entire Kauai stay here rather than spending 1/2 the time north and 1/2 in Poipu. The island’s small enough to easily drive to the canyon from the north (2 hrs end to end) and the landscape and beaches I found to be more awe-inspiring in the North. Thank you Devaki for sharing your home!

Place was clean, owner was nice and attentive , good location close to beach and shops. One parking spot available. Had beach chairs and boggie boards available too.

Very large spacious studio. Great location within walking distance to all of Hanalei with a very nice mountain view. Great timely communication with manager. Only downside was noisy neighbors at times - thankfully not super late at night.

We like simple things and this property is an excellent example of that. The unIt's located essentially across the street from the Hanalei Beach, and about a 5 minute stroll to Hanalei town's restaurants and shops. The owner keeps the unit very clean and the bed is very comfortable. The large kitchen is well supplied with utensils and cooking gear. The bathroom is also large and there are plenty of towels. We liked the bed too. Firm, but comfy. The only downside to the place is that the sofa and chairs just weren't comfortable to sit on for watching tv/movies. Our hostess was very kind and helpful without being intrusive. We loved our stay and would wholeheartedly recommend this listing to other couples.

We had a wonderful time. The property was beautiful, inviting, and so close to the beach. Devaki was such a pleasure to talk to. She was very welcoming and made us feel right at home. We will be back!

I highly recommend this property to anyone who is visiting Kauai. The room was very spacious and clean. It is located in a safe neighborhood and is easy to find and access. It is equipped with all the kitchen utensils needed to prepare your own meals. The property manager was friendly but not intrusive. She stocked the room with everything one might need for a trip to the beach. All that being said, the location of the property was the highlight for us. You can literally hear the ocean from the room and the beach is only a very short walk away. The property is located in a residential neighborhood, but if you walk about a block to the end of the street, there is a shopping center with restaurants, gifts shops, and a grocery store. Hanalei and this location were the highlight of our vacation to Kauai. Both my wife and I are looking foreward to returning sometime soon.

This space was exactly what we wanted .: a very large room that combined bedroom, living area, dining area and kitchen. The location was perfect: a minutes walk to the beach and a 5 mini walk to the restaurant area . We were very happy.

Devaki's property is a tropical oasis. She is a wonderful host and very responsive. We look forward to returning!

Listing is unclear! Sounds like a separate house but turned out to be downstairs w/ the owner living upstairs and another guy living somewhere in the house. We really wanted privacy but didn’t feel that. We had a designated parking spot and got blocked in early one morning when we were going on a cruise. We were panicked because we couldn’t wake anyone to get an overnight guest out to move her truck. No apologies from the owner. Besides that, too many rules about leaving lights on, windows open while gone, etc.

I’m not sure is this refers to VRBO or our communication with Daveki. Both were excellent!

So convenient to everything. Hanalei is gorgeous. Devaki is super nice and very welcoming. Thanks.

Arrived and was welcomed by Devaki, owner who lives above the vrbo level of the property. Open space flat w plenty of light, quiet w super nice view of green hills to north of town.Devaki was most helpful, location perfect for proximity to beach, town. Rained a bunch, so outdoor sitting wasn't a thing. Limahui Botannical gardens were beautiful w plenty of beaches on the way there to explore. Restaurant Ama and the Dolphin great, make rez days in advance.
