Elegant Ocean View Condo at HBR, Living Room A/C

We had an excellent stay, and would absolutely stay again. The views are gorgeous, and easy access to such a beautiful beach was the highlight for me. Our kids enjoyed all the amenities, and we appreciated how responsive and thoughtful the host was. The condo was stocked with everything we needed, and the treats and coffee waiting for us the first day was a bonus on a lovely stay.

Newly Remodeled Stunning Princeville Studio w/AC!

BriannaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

I enjoyed our stay. Sometimes parking could be somewhat annoying after 8pm but we never not found a spot, sometimes it just wasn’t as close to our lodging. The place was clean and as advertised. The beach equipment was very useful!

Modern Princeville 1 bedroom*AC*King Bed*Hanalei

MorganRating, 5 stars1 day ago

Fantastic! This modern and bright condo is spacious and newly updated. The pool and hot tub were great. The washer dryer is top notch and the big TVs and sofa made us feel right at home after long days in the sun. Kitchen is great for cooking and you are close to Food Land - do not miss the Poke bowls there - huge value and delish! Make sure to grab dinner or drinks down the road at 1 Hotel. Hideaway Beach also close by is maybe the most amazing beach for snorkeling in the world!

Hale Maile, Adorable, beautiful Hanalei home TVNC#

JeffRating, 5 stars2 months ago

You can’t beat the location. Easy walk to Hanalei Bay beach for surf. Short drive to the state park or to Anini beach for calm snorkeling. Walk to the Hanalei bread company for breakfast and coffee. It’s beautiful. The house was clean and well appointed. Lack of air conditioning was not a problem for us with windows and sliding doors open. The second bedroom entrance is outside down the elevated deck. This was fine for us, but might be a problem if traveling with small children.

A tranquil scene depicts a lone surfer riding gentle waves near a wooden pier. The backdrop features lush mountains under a twilight sky painted with soft hues of orange and gray. The calm water reflects the serene atmosphere of the Hanalei Bay.

Hale Kanani (Kaua'i): Waterfall & Mountain Views

CarmenRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Wonderful stay and would definitely stay here again! Responsive host and the rental was well stocked with everything you’d possibly need (including a yoga mat). There was plenty of beach gear which was great appreciated. I’d highly recommend snorkeling at Anini beach. We got to snorkel with sea turtles within arms length which was an amazing experience. The home itself was perfect with the AC in the bedrooms a very welcomed amenity. The beds were a little firm but still comfortable and one of my more important factors, the hot water and water pressure were good. WiFi was solid as well. The only 2 complaints which were also identified by previous reviews but also not a deal breaker were dogs barking nearby and the constant (and I mean constant) beeping of work vehicles right next door at a company. All tolerable but if you stay at the rental at all during the day, the beeping can be annoying. This would not keep me from staying though and we will be back here. 9/10 for sure!

A spacious kitchen area features wooden cabinetry and granite countertops. Natural light floods the room through large glass windows, with ocean views visible in the background. A stainless steel oven and dishwasher are included, alongside pendant lighting that highlights the workspace.
