About this property
Minutes Walk to Hanalei Bay, beach, & town w/AC in bed rooms
This 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. Cool and relaxing, convenient to all the North Shore beaches. Standard occupancy is 4.
A two-minute stroll will bring you to Waioli 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 loft with full size bed for younger folks & 2 full baths. A hot and cold outside shower for after the beach is a wonderful plus. Listed rate is for the standard occupancy of 4, but home can accommodate up to 5. Extra guest fee for the 5th person is $20/night + tax per person. This fee is collected after booking. There is a limit of only 5 guests total.

House was perfectly stocked for us! All of the updates folks requested in the comments have been done! We found the house to be in a great location. Five mins from the beach and five to ten mins from town on foot! Very spacious and a cozy week long stay for our family of three! Thank you for having us!
The house was a great home for us while on our trip to Kauai! It was clean and well supplied, a block from the beach, and a 15 minute walk from the shops and restaurants downtown Hanalei! The property owner was quick to help us when one of the AC units wasn’t working when we first arrived. The outdoor shower was great for all the post beach and activity rinses!
The Wai’oli was steps to the beach and a quick walk (or even quicker drive) into central Hanalei. Everything was as advertised and the views from the kitchen window / front of the house were spectacular.
We had a wonderful time in Hanalei! The home is just around the corner from the beach (<5min walk) and was a wonderful retreat to eat, sleep, and relax when not at the beach. We would absolutely stay here again during our next trip to this magical place!
The property is in a great location, within walking distance of the "downtown" Hanalei as well as the beach. The unit was clean and well stocked. We would definitely stay here again if we returned to Hanalei.
A fully equipped & wonderful home that offers most everything you need. Great location close to restaurants & shops in the quaint village of Hanalei. Walking distance to beaches. 10 out of 10 for our 9 days stay.
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.
Great base for an adventure packed week. Well stocked.

Reviewer Comments:
This was perfect for our group. We loved walking to town and the beach.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Our family of four had a great time spending mid winter break here. The house was clean, the kitchen well equipped and everything just as shown in the listing. It's a quick stroll to the wonderful beach and a longer walk (with kids) to the town center and pier. A good assortment of towels, beach towels and beach gear was available at the house. The AC in the bedrooms were nice to have. Beds were on the soft side and the host didn't provide shampoo or body wash. I hope we'll be able to visit again and I'd recommend this home to a friend.
3rd trip to the island & first time getting a vacation rental. We were happy we did & will definitely be booking this property again. I loved walking to the bay every morning coffee in hand. The property is like something out of a fairytale. Waterfalls can be seen from the kitchen sink & there’s a snail & mushroom garden in the back. Please don’t take the snails shells & be careful where you walk. Mahalo for the lovely stay.
