About this property

Charming and Immaculate - Walkable to Beach and Town - Sleeps 10

We've provided all the comforts of home on 'The Garden Island' of Kauai, one of the world's most spectacular settings. This charmingly furnished house with traditional Hawaiiana decor and lanais is surrounded by a lush tropical garden. The house is perfect for multiple or extended families and features two deluxe master bedroom suites which include private en suite bathrooms and king beds. A standard master with a California King bed has a private bathroom and the two remaining bedrooms share a bathroom.

You will seldom need your car after arriving as both the beach and charming Hanalei Town are within walking distance with its excellent restaurants, lively night spots, and shopping. The house is at the end of a quiet cul de sac, away from traffic. Only a block and a half away is the world-famous, crescent-shaped Hanalei Bay, ranked by National Geographic Traveler as one of the top ten beaches in the world. This exceptional setting can only be reached over a quaint one lane bridge that connects beautiful taro fields to a lush rain forest.

We are strictly limited to ten guests of any age or size -- babies are not exempted, sorry.

This home is a vacation rental and guests should not expect the same amenities as at a hotel including toiletries, comestibles and other supplies. We start our guests off with some hand soap and toilet paper for their arrival but otherwise it is not practical to offer supplies for the duration of their stay.

We accept reservations up to one year in advance.

The residence is located in a tsunami inundation zone. In the event of a tsunami, evacuation information is posted in the residence.

There is currently construction on a new home on an adjacent property that is scheduled to be completed before August 1, 2025. We want to make sure that there aren’t any surprises when you arrive. So far, none of our guests have found the construction to be a nuisance. The contractor for the project has stated that working hours are limited to weekdays no earlier than 7:30 a.m. until about 3:30 p.m. No construction will take place on weekends. Hopefully you’ll be at the beach, on excursions and enjoying this beautiful island during construction times.

Address is 4501 Piliko'a Street in Hanalei, HI.

For stays over 14 nights, guests will be charged 366.49, tax included, for a mid-stay clean.

Excellent Hanalei Get Away
This was our second visit and we will be back again. Comfortable, relaxing, clean, fun property to stay at for our extended family. The 5 bedroom common areas layout worked great for three couples and 3 children. The property is a short walk to town and a shorter walk to the beach so you don't need to drive much at all. Kitchen was well equipped and the beds were plush! Overall two thumbs up.

Location is awesome. We were a block from Hanalei Bay and a few blocks from town. We could walk to every thing. The house was nice for our family. They had all the essentials you needed for the beach. The kitchen was fully equipped. Fans for the rooms. We loved our stay.Nancy Stivers

60th Birthday Celebration
We had such a great time! Perfect location - close to beach and town. Plenty of space for our entire group! Manager communicated everything including the possibility of construction next door although it wasn't a bother for us at all. Would definitely recommend! Only thing the house was missing was AC but it had fans in every room and it cooled off pretty good each night.

Perfect location in Hanalei
The Taj Ma Hale was the perfect spot for our family gathering. The house had plenty of rooms for everyone and a nice yard to play in. It was a very short walk to the beautiful beach in Hanalei bay. Everything for us was in walking distance but we actually preferred staying home to cook our meals. We stayed 10 beautiful days and could have stayed much longer. We will definitely be back soon!

Wonderful home in Hanalei... loved our stay!
We loved our stay at this fantastic home in Hanalei! The location is ideal... very short walk to the beach and easily walkable to town. Also, the view of the Na Pali mountains from the lanai is divine. The layout of the home worked perfectly for our family of 6 adults and could easily have accommodated a larger group. Communication with the host was terrific... thanks, Clark! We had a wonderful stay and would love to return on our next visit to Hanalei!

Second stay just as sweet
We stayed here before a wedding in Oct 2021 when I had a broken leg and our daughter cancelled due to her pregnancy. Well this time our son and his girlfriend had to cancel but we brought the new granddaughter and her other grandmother and had a perfect relaxing week at this beautiful home. We walked to town at least twice a day for coffee and dinner, hung at the beach just a bit as weather allowed and hiked, bird watched, golfed, drove to Waimea and completed two puzzles! We will try for a third time to get all the family in this magical place at the same time!

Loved the property
Our family of 9 loved the layout and convenience of the house to town and the beach. The linens were top quality and the beds very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and very functional especially with two sinks and two disposals. Having two washers and dryers with an extra frig made for plenty of food storage and ability to stay ahead of laundry. The only problem we encountered was that the room with the twin beds had mosquitoes and the kids had over a dozen bites on their faces one morning. The property manager sent repellent and coils and we taped up gaps in the screens. Understandably there are mosquitoes in the tropics but this was over the top. I think the screens need to be better fitted and the problem will be resolved. Otherwise we loved our stay and will definitely come back Aloha
