We were extremely satisfied with communication with and responsiveness from owner/host and housekeeper, amenities of and supplies within home, and location to town and beach.

Spent 3 weeks here. Everything was great. Would highly recommend staying here and will be booking again

Perfect spot to unwind with out two kiddos (2 years and 8 months). Place needs a bunch of updates (new oven, new dishwasher, new curtains that don’t fall when you touch), espresso machine, measuring cups in kitchen, more then one key!!!). Noise from neighbors is LOUD. Like you hear them all day, when their baby wakes in the middle of the night, their dinners, everything. But outdoor shower is bliss and the beach was perfect.

This property is a great option for a family of four or two couples. The owner was super responsive, the house was immaculate, it's a 5 minute walk to the beach or to town, the kitchen is better stocked than ours, and the views from the lanai were a highlight of our trip. Throw in other touches like beach towels, decor, and strong ventilation that keeps the house relatively cool, and you've got a great stay. My only possible concern is how close it is to the neighbors (which seems the case for many properties). We had no issues at all, but I did wonder what would happen if our neighbors ended up being loud. I would definitely stay here again!

Amazing house in an awesome location!

This place is wonderful, we had a great stay. Highly recommended.

This place is great! Love the location. Super comfortable for us and our adult daughters. The kitchen is probably the best appointed one of any vrbo I’ve stayed in. It’s the simple things, Tupperware, olive oil, nice pots and pans that make a weeks vacation easy. Thank you! Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!

Gorgeous property with amazing Mountain View out the back and beach at the end of the street. Comfortable well appointed home with kitchen we could actually cook in! Thanks for sharing this fabulous home. We had a marvelous time.

We loved staying at Clark’s place. He was super communicative, the place was gorgeous, and we had everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful week at Hale Lu Ya. It is in a great location, about 3 minutes from the beach and 10 min from town, surrounded by beautiful plants and a field behind it. The rooms are all decorated nicely and the kitchen is well equipped. We are most meals on the patio with the view of the amazing mountains behind us. Can’t wait to come back!!

My wife and I have been to Hanalei Bay multiple times over the past 30 years. This was a two week trip planned for a long time. We always wanted to stay ( again) near Hanalei Bay and in a house and this place was perfect. The location is superb at the end of a cup de sac , with a breathtaking view of the mountains south of the bay. The floor is wood so it creaks a bit and reminded me of a ship sailing over the waves ! We will return again and bring friends , and get a larger house if that comes to fruition. However , my wife stated we would love to come back to this house again anytime that we can afford it !

We have been coming to Hanalei for over 20 years and stayed in over 10 different homes in the area. This was one of the best rentals we have had. Clark was exceptional with his service, communication and attention to detail. The home was one of the cleanest we have ever been in and we especially appreciated the very clean and new kitchen. It was perfectly appointed with everything we needed and adorably decorated. This is definitely our first choice rental in Hanalei from now on!

Aloha! The house Hale Lu Ya in Hanalei Bay is the perfect place for a Kauai vacation. The house is so cosy and comfotable that we immediately felt like being home. It was perfect for 2 couples with plenty of room. The beautiful beach is only a few meters away and you are in a perfect location for trips over the island or the famous Kalalau Trail. Everything was perfect and we will be back. Mahalo!

According to the previous reviews, this house is quiet and has views of the waterfall out the windows. Not the case. The "sister" house of this was booked with multiple families and babies. We could hear all conversations and baby cries throughout the night. I wouldn't stay here if the Taj Ma Hale is rented as it feels like a duplex. There is no parking for this house either, you must park on the street so be sure not to have valuables in car. 1. No views. 2. Not quiet. Our two reasons for staying here.

Our family of four just spent a week at Hale Lu Ya! (July 27 - Aug. 3, 2012) and our experience was outstanding. The cottage is well appointed, clean, comfortable, and most important of all, in an ideal location. This cottage comes as advertised - - - - perhaps even undersells itself. Located a block and a half from Hanalei Bay and two blocks from the historic town of Hanalei, you just can't find a more ideal spot. We were within walking distance of some of the best restaurants on the island, and could look out our window and see the tallest waterfall on the island. The best part is you don't feel like you are near a town at all because there is no noise. Great spot from which to explore the entire north and east shores and take a boat trip to the Na Pali Coast. If you can't enjoy your stay in Hanalei, check your pulse. Not only do I recommend this house, I plan to stay here again myself if the opportunity arises.

My partner and I stayed at Hale Lu Ya for 2 weeks in November and will definitely return. We've been to Kauai many times and have always stayed in Haena and this time wanted to stay in Hanalei. It's the perfect Hanalei location: close to the beach and an easy walk to town where there's an abundance of dining choices. The house is beautiful, well maintained, quiet and had everything we needed. It was so peaceful sitting on the lanai every morning, having coffee and enjoying the mountain views. Two "must do's" while in Hanalei: happy hour at the Gourmet and ice cream from Pinks! You cannot go wrong with this rental!

A GREAT vacation home!!!!! The outdoor shower is our favorite being contained for privacy. The towels are luxurious and plentiful. The location to the beach and village is all within walking distance along with being in a secluded cul-de-sac. The only addition recommended would be an outdoor light on back lanai for grilling.

This was out second time to have stayed here. Each of our vacation stays was for 4 weeks each and wish it could have been longer. My family and I loved this place. Walking distance to one of the the most scenic beaches in the world and to the town of Hanalei itself. The house was spacious, clean, maintained well, and in a scenic setting. I remember when we walked into the house for our second stay it was like we had come back home. If my daughters had their way we would spend every summer here. I would highly recommend staying here.

I have stayed at this property several times in the past years and have found it to be very comfortable, clean and convenient. I was surprised to See the negative review. If I ever did have a problem it's was taken care of immediately. There is a reason I keep coming back.

This is the fourth year that I have stayed at HaleLuYa. Unlike all other annual trips, I return to this house because of its perfect location, complete furnishings, and the great customer service from the owners and their agent. The house is at the end of a dead end street so traffic is minimal. My two favorite parts of this house are the large deck on the back overlooking a greenscape with birds and flowers that is perfect for morning coffee drinking and the bedroom in the back that is exactly like sleeping in a treehouse, minus the mosquitoes! Hanalei Bay (the best swimming on the island) is a couple blocks away which is close enough for a quick walk but far enough away that you miss the traffic from other tourists. Beds are very comfortable and appliances in the kitchen are way more than adequate for farmer's market vegetables for dinner. The plentiful windows down and upstairs allow island breezes and the smell of the jungle-like foliage throughout the house. I unequivocally recommend this vacation rental!

We scored ten days at Hale Lu Ya (cute name!). We've been renting in Kauai for years but agree that this is one of the best rentals on the island. Very comfy. It felt like home right away. Owner was prompt and great to deal with and house was as described on website. Rental did not have "cookie cutter" feel and all was clean and sparkly on our arrival. Don't be surprised to hear from us again. Cheers.

Our upcoming trip to Kauai will be our fourth stay at the Hale Lu Ya house. It is the perfect place. Its quaint charm, quiet neighborhood, plantation decor, and good vibration leave us hesitant to sing its praises--everyone will want to come! Two blocks from the most beautiful beach in Hawaii, and a quick walk to town make its location perfect for the active vacationer.
