Wake up in a Hanalei postcard at this extraordinary 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom beach home.

You may think you’re still dreaming when you open your eyes to picture-perfect views of Hanalei’s lush greenery and vivid blue skies outside your bedroom windows. Located in a residential stretch of ocean-view Weke Road, this upscale 2,600-square-foot home sits among North Shore estates valued in the tens of millions.

Tucked into a tropical grove, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom house is a quick stroll from the velvet sand and gentle surf of Hanalei Bay. In the distance, look for the serpent-shaped mountain that inspired the song, “Puff the Magic Dragon.” You’re also easy walking distance to Hanalei’s charming downtown. There you’ll find everything from artisan coffee and chocolate, to sophisticated, healthy cuisine, to classic island cocktails at the iconic Tahiti Nui, a favorite local lounge and a location for the George Clooney film, “The Descendants.”

At the home we call Hanalei Makai Hale, you’ll be immersed in beauty, indoors and out. Ascend the stairs to arrive at a custom, beveled-glass door that hints at the treasures inside. The foyer’s impressive glass sea sculptures introduce the carefully curated art collection, including original island paintings, carvings and tile work. The breezy lanais (what some call the covered porches) will beckon you outdoors into comfy chairs for morning Kona coffee, an afternoon lilikoi fruit smoothie or chilled wine at sunset, the better to watch the sky turn vivid crimson.

The completely updated home’s open floor plan encourages an easy flow between the kitchen, living room and dining room. Numerous lanai sliding glass doors and louvered windows welcome cooling trade winds and filtered daylight. Spacious bedrooms on opposite wings provide ample privacy for groups of couples, friends or families of up to six people.

You may need to draw straws to select bedrooms. The master suite has a king-sized bed, walk-in closet, dressing area, adjoining bathroom and access to the backyard lanai. From the front guest room’s queen bed and private lanai, you can gaze at the ocean or every-shade-of-green terrain. The second guest bedroom offers cozy quiet and two twin beds that can convert to a king.

On the breakfast bar, find a gift basket of local artisan chocolate, Hawaiian spices and discount coupons that will ease your introduction to favorite Kauai treats and adventures—ice cream, bike rentals and a catered dinner. Outside, borrow the boogie boards and beach toys, or treat yourself to a hot-water rinse in the enclosed open-air shower.

In no time, you’ll be living like a local, stocking up on impossibly fresh sushi and shopping the farmers markets for exotic fruits and vegetables that you stash in the Sub-Zero refrigerator. With a kitchen outfitted for the most discerning chefs, you’ll be turning out quick meals on the barbecue gas grill with ease.

In anticipation of our guests’ every need, the electronic front door locks require no keys to pick up, share or return. The kitchen is fully stocked with shopping bags, basic seasonings and cleaning supplies. The laundry room features an over-sized washer, dryer and large pantry. Ease into adventures on land and water, guided by our booklet that lists favorite excursions, restaurants and shopping destinations. Throughout the home, labels and instructions ease familiarity with the house and appliances. You won’t lack for indoor entertainment with a large flat-screen television and high-speed Wi-Fi.

Inside and out, you’ll find the kind of cushiony furnishings that cradle you after a long day of surfing, swimming, hiking or power-shopping. Though the home is designed and maintained to five-star hotel standards, the inviting atmosphere and casual decor ultimately relaxes every guest into a blissful island existence. Why don’t you see for yourself?

Geat house, great location

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: The house was perfect for our week long stay in Hanalei with our family of 6. The house was close to the beach and town which made it very easy to walk everywhere. We appreciated that it was well equipped with a wide range of beach items (masks, snorkels, umbrellas, beach chairs etc). We hope to return again in the near future.

Absolute Paradise

Our stay at this VRBO in Hanalei was nothing short of exceptional. The home was immaculately clean, thoughtfully stocked, and equipped with high-end appliances. The generous host provided everything we needed for a perfect beach day, including chairs, coolers, and even a wagon. The wraparound porch offered stunning views and comfortable seating, making it the perfect place to relax. We especially loved using the high-quality grill on the deck while enjoying the fresh tradewind breezes. Every detail of this home was designed for comfort and convenience—I truly wouldn’t change a thing. If I could live here, I would! I can’t wait to go back. This is an absolute gem, and I give it my highest recommendation.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have been fortunate enough to stay at Hanalei Makai Hale many times over the years, and it is always a pleasure! The house is warm, welcoming and perfectly appointed. The rental team is incredibly nice and responsive and the owners go out of their way to make my stays wonderful. And they always are! The location just across the street from Hanalei beach and a short walk to town, could not be better. I really treasure all my memories from this special place.

Perfect Rental in Paradise

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: Fabulous rental, easy walk to the beach in both directions and into downtown Hanalei restaurants and shops. The spacious and attractive house was very well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing and very enjoyable stay. There was plenty of space for our party of five adults. We especially enjoyed having morning coffee, early evening drinks, and occasional meals on the wrap-around decks. We have stayed in lots of Kauai rentals over the years and this one was the best. Highly recommend.

Another trip back our paradise

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: Our first trip to Hanalei was in 2001 and we've been coming back almost every year since. We always get our bikes from Pedal and Paddle and that's our transportation around town. We hit the beach either at The Cape or the pavillion every day that we are here. It's our "Happy Place" and will continue coming back!!!

Heaven in Hanalei

My husband and I have been coming to Kauai for many years now, and we feel so fortunate to have found this beautiful home on our most recent trip. We cannot wait to return again. A short walk to town, to the beach, to the river - and it’s nestled away from the street where you can sit on the deck and listen to the sounds of the birds and the rain. Fully stocked kitchen, bathroom amenities, beach toys - it had everything we needed and more! You can tell the owners of this home take great pride in it and also have a deep love for the island and the community of Hanalei.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 6 adult family members stayed 6 nights. Wonderful home with everything we needed supplied. From what we saw during our visit this is the best location on the north shore. A few hundred feet from the beach and 10 minute walk to town or a 90 second drive. Only drawback is no AC.

The bedrooms and kitchen were well equipped with everything we needed. They have a few surf boards and snorkel gear for kids that were fun to use. Other outdoor gear you will need to rent or buy. The best part was that it was in easy walking distance to Hanalei bay beach, which we did everyday. When we arrived there was a fun welcome package from local shops, it made it special. Thank you for providing us the opportunity to enjoy your home.

We had a wonderful time at this lovely home in Hanalei. The kitchen was perfectly stocked for cooking meals. The beds were comfy and the home had plenty of towels and other beach supplies. We could walk to town or the beach at any time and never had to worry about parking. Great location! Look forward to visiting again.

A week at Hanalei Makai Hale

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: This is an amazing place right near the Pavillions beach. It's set back from the road. Nice and quiet except for the roosters of course. The house was very clean and well- furnished and nicely maintained and decorated. The landscaping is beautiful. The outdoor shower has plenty of hot water. Internet connection and smart TV were both good. There were six of us (3 couples) and we had plenty of room and private spaces. The house had most everything you need for a good time at the beach - umbrellas, sand chairs, two soft top surfboards, boogie boards, sand toys and a cart to pull stuff to the beach.Though not a great time of the year for snorkeling on the north shore, we did take a couple day trips to Haena/Tunnels and it would have been good to have some snorkeling gear. It's a short walk into Hanalei Town for restaurants and entertainment. We liked the large well-equipped kitchen. We had everything we needed except for a large pot. We called the property management company and they quickly had one delivered. Only complaint: we had a few wasps flying around the property and some snuck in and caused some unwanted excitement. They should find and remove the nest for the next guests. I highly recommend Hanalei Makai Hale. We would love to return again next year.

Heaven on Earth

This place is best described as Heaven on Earth! We enjoyed our stay very much. Kept busy enjoying the sights, Waimea Canyon, Na Pali coast, helicopter ride, hiking,.All very spectacular. For me it was the smaller things that stole my heart such as starting my day with a morning jog on the beach and a dip in the ocean. So glad there were yoga mats at the house. I got to start and end each day with relaxing yoga on the outside balcony while enjoying the views of the mountains and the sounds of the ocean.. We were a family of 6 adults and 1 toddler. The house was large enough and the room and balcony layout gave everyone enough space to spread out. The house also has plenty of sand /beach toys to enjoy. The lack of air conditioning was only a problem if you wanted to nap during the day otherwise the airflow through the house kept things comfortable. I can’t wait to go back!
