The perfect stay in Hanalei Bay
Our stay at the Malolo cottage was perfect for our family, even with 2 kids under 3. Close enough to walk to the beach, comfortable living space in the house, and quiet neighborhood. The house has everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again next time we visit Hanalei Bay!

We only used our rental car from and to the airport, enjoyed walking every morning and strolling to the shops and restaurants. Na Pali Properties were available and helpful, the house was clean and well equipped for our needs. If you want a little piece of heaven - try it out.

Awesome trip for our small family
This was our 4th trip to the north shore and we wanted to have a solo family trip (no friends or family) this time. The Malolo Cottage was the perfect choice. The short walk to the beach and large yard made our trip very relaxing and memorable. The property managers were very communicative and reminded us to put out the trash each week. They also helped us quickly when the internet went offline during a wind storm. The house was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. I would highly recommend this property for a couple or a small family like ours.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was pretty perfect.On past visits we have stayed closer to Pavilions than Pine Trees, and this was much better, with less traffic and a short stroll to an uncrowded beach. the cottage was well ticked with all essentials,, boogie boards, beach chairs, snorkels, etc.A beach umbrella might have been nice, too. The kitchen had everything needed except counter space for food prep. The beds are very good. Neighbors were never noisy. Our favorite dinner out was at Barracuda. Great food.

My partner and I worked remotely during our stay which worked out perfectly because during down hours we could easily walk to and from the beach. Hanalei is such a gem and was a perfect surf and boogie board spot for our family.

Shaka Shack
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: we have stayed at Malolo a few times, always great.Very clean and stocked well with supplies that matter e.g. coffee filters. So convenient by bicycle to both ends of Hanalei Beach. As good as one might expect for a couple who chooses to avoid hotel scenes and the people drawn to that option.There are only two things that we can mention needing any attention: the Weber has no top and the blinds on back wall over bed do not easily come down if lifted to access the window mechanism. The team of Hali and Joan were excellent as management hosts. If you are considering this property and are 2 people or 2 with small child do not hesitate to book (always in June-Aug so we can have a chance to return in our preferred months).

Good
Cottage pretty much as expected but inside shower is really small stall. Great for a couple; would not want to stay there with more adults. The covered patio is really nice, views of mountains to west. Nice to be able to park right outside the door. Very quiet neighborhood. Beach access is too far to walk carrying chairs and stuff. Management company was responsive and helpful.

Great cottage for small family
This cottage was charming and beautifully located. We felt like we were staying in a cabin, but instead of a cabin by a lake (we are from Minnesota) it was a cabin by the ocean! This was our favorite place to stay by far. Cottage had all the necessities and then some:). We will be back.

It has a great yard with views of the waterfalls. Great kitchen for small cottage. well outfitted. If you have not been to Hawaii, you save a fortune cooking yourself...I mean a fortune.

Close to town
Close to town so easy to walk to shops and food. It is a studio with two I believe full size bed side-by-side so we’re perfect for me and my 20 year old daughter to stay out together. There is a full kitchen. Close to the ocean as well although a bit of a walk if you are caring Surf Boards

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: Malolo Cottage was clean, simple, adequate. The location was very convenient to either the beach or town. The view of the mountains was beautiful. The outdoor shower is a good substitute for the inside shower which is a bit small, the outside washer dryer are new and clean. The cottage is basically one room and a bathroom, the decor is dated and minimal. but clean, comfortable and cozy, The kitchen is fine for basic breakfast/lunch or simple dinner prep. The neighborhood was quiet, but only one other house was occupied while we were there. We spent 10 happy days, content at Malolo Cottage.
