Family Vacation
We were a group of 11 people consisting of 6 adults and 5 kids. The location was just a short walk to beautiful Hanalei Bay which we all thoroughly enjoyed daily. The house was roomy and I’ve truly never stayed in a VRBO that came close to being so well stocked. You really had everything you needed. We enjoyed the game room, boogie boards, chairs and umbrellas, and the washers and dryers were so handy to have. Communication and check-in were great. Highly recommend!

Outdated, not well maintained, pests, close to town & beach
This is an older style Hawaii beach-style house that is outdated, not well maintained, and looks far better in photos than in person, and we found a live adult rat in the kitchen plus other pests like termites and cockroaches in the house. What we liked was the proximity to town and the beach, welcoming atmosphere of the area and the property owner, our travels in the area, great local food, and seeing many rainbows. Although we stayed in houses of similar style and vintage in Kauai and had excellent experiences, this was not one of those experiences. We are no strangers to minor pests when we travel. However, I was shocked to see an adult rat scurry from behind the refrigerator across the kitchen floor under the dishwasher while sitting at the counter drinking coffee. In addition, on a daily basis there were several small piles of debris from termites in multiple locations, plus cockroaches in the ground floor rec room. There are some torn screens, some missing slats from glass windows, foliage growing close to the house; all examples of poor maintenance and easy access for a rat. Dealing with the owner, or rather his mother, was not a great experience. According to my brother-in-law who was at the house when she arrived, she seemed to imply the rat only got into the house because someone must have left a screen door open, which is flat out not true. Even the exterminator that was with her said trees touching the house enable rats. Rating 3 out of 5 feels generous.

Delighted by everything :)
Everything about this home delighted me :). Really nice without being too fancy. Cozy location, and spaces for everyone. Owner communicative and accommodating. Comfortable beds, two washers and dryers, sand toys, bikes, hot tub, a large dining table. Each room has a little balcony area. Beautiful Hanalei Bay’s Pine Trees beach a short walk away. Also, a short walk to shave ice and gift shops. Basketball across the street (we brought our own ball). Loved the soft rains and lovely temperatures of March. It would be a dream to come back again!

Perfect Beach Cottage
We stayed 6 nights with another family. We had 12 people total. 8 kids (10-3 ages) and 4 adults. It was the perfect place! We had more than enough room for everyone. All beach toys supplied. Less than 100 yards to beach. It was an actual dream! Will stay here again and again for years to come.

Good and bad
Good: very easy and close walk to the beach and to the downtown area Great communication with the property manager and housekeeper who were both quick to resolve issues with nonexistent high chair and a pac and play in poor condition and problems with the tv. Beautiful views of mountains Bad: the house is old. The furniture is very old and in poor condition, although the beds were fairly comfy. The kitchen is a nightmare. I had read all reviews prior to renting this house and all were very positive, so I was shocked when we arrived to see the house wasn’t at all what I had expected. The housekeeper (who is absolutely darling and a BIG help) indicated the house is one of the very few in Hanalei with more than 3 bedrooms and this is a big sell overall, and it is true that there was lots of space. I feel a bit like a rat complaining, but I want to be honest since I rely on reviews when I look at renting a property. I also understand how it goes renting a beach property as my husband and I had a beach rental home in South Carolina a few years ago. Salty air is hard on houses and some renters are more gentle than others. This house needs a major overhaul, which I understand might be in the works as the house was sold last December. Not sure where one would start as so much needs to be done, but the property definitely has potential and clearly has been much loved over the years. I’m hoping this review is honest without being unduly negative which was not my intent.

Amazing Place
Great spot - perfect location in Hanalei. Pleasantly surprised by how nice the hot tub was after a surf / beach outing. Great to be able to walk or bike everywhere. The big-tire sand bikes were a major hit. Everything was perfect. LOVED the fact that there were no check-out instructions at all. Overall, amazing stay. Thank you so much!

Perfect Kauai retreat
I'm so happy I chose this home for our family vacation-it was perfect! We had considered another home in Princeville, but this was more our style. Laid back, comfy, steps from the beach, close to town and ample space for us to spread out or come together. We had a fabulous time. Susan has everything you need for a great Hawaiian vacation-snorkel gear, beach towels, coolers, sand toys, bikes. Don't think twice-this place is perfect.

Winter in Hanalei
There are many things to like about this property: location, floor plan for a large group, hot tub, water toys and bikes to use, views. Beds were outstanding! However there were several repairs that needed to be addressed immediately: broken faucet in hall bath, inability to open one of the main bedroom doors from inside (was told it required major overhaul of door frame and lock), no knobs on kitchen cabinets leaving screws sticking out), one kitchen, cabinet door falling off, soap dispenser in DW didn’t release soap. It just seemed to have an unusual amount of delayed maintenance, perhaps because it had just been sold. Property manager easy to work with and several things repaired while we were there. No offer of a rebate. Could not use downstairs much because of recent flood but no additional cleaning took place. Outside could use a good straightening up and cleaning. Great for large group of various ages since there were several living areas. Kitchen pretty small but useable.

Family trip to Hanalei
Property was great for large family group. Casual but comfortable accommodations. Loved the screened in lanai/dining room. Lots of space for lounging. Outdoor shower fabulous for clean up after beach day. All the amenities for the beach you would need, i.e. towels, chairs, toys, umbrellas. Short walk to the beach even with small children! Susan (host) very quick to respond if anything was needed - even checked in with us during a short power outage on the north shore.

Week in Hanalei
As most houses in Hanalei, this is an older home that was cozy and well-equiped to support our group of 11. We were there for a week and caught a pretty hot one with little breeze, so the many fans were on constantly.. The location is great - equal distance between (3 short blocks) beautiful beach and small, busy town.
