Indulge all your senses from this ocean-view, 3-bedroom, 2-bath Hanalei beach home.

If you were any closer to the waves of Hanalei Bay, you’d need flippers. You’ll hear the surf from every room in this three-bedroom, two-bath beach house that’s a mere 80 steps from the velvety sands of world-famous Hanalei Bay, considered the best beach in all of Hawaii. Tucked away on a short cul-de-sac street, this 1,900-square-foot home’s elegant design, superior location in Hanalei and spectacular views offer guests a memorable immersion in a tropical wonderland.

Fully remodeled and furnished to anticipate vacationers’ every need, the charms of this extraordinary home are evident the moment you step onto the property, lushly landscaped with plumeria and orchids under a canopy of papaya and coconut palm trees. On the breakfast bar, find a gift basket of local artisan chocolate, Hawaiian spices and discount coupons that will introduce you to favorite Kauai treats and adventures—ice cream, bike rentals and a catered dinner.

Kick off your sandals and rinse the day’s sand from your toes in the elegant foot bath or hot-water outdoor shower, then step up to the expansive second story. The home’s open-floor plan brings ocean and garden views into the combined kitchen and dining area, where you’ll routinely gather to recount the day’s adventures. Leaf through our book of suggestions for hiking, dining and sightseeing, or borrow beach gear for a day of sunny recreation. Be inspired by the home’s gallery-worth photography of Kauai landmarks to plan your next outing.

Strategically located windows open to the cooling ocean breezes and bring a light, airy atmosphere to every room. Arranged to offer privacy for couples, friends or families, this ideal vacation getaway with 12-foot cathedral ceilings immerses guests in the island’s laid-back lifestyle. In no time, you’ll be dining outside on the lanai (that’s what some call a deck or porch), sipping coffee outside the master bedroom in the morning and gathering for an ocean-view meal at night. With a kitchen outfitted for the most discerning chefs, you’ll be turning out quick meals on the barbecue gas grill with ease.

The private master suite has a king bed, large closet, dressing area, adjoining bathroom and access to a private lanai. There are two spacious guest bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the second guest bedroom with two twin beds that can convert to a king if needed. Both of these rooms have beautiful views of the lush tropical landscaping surrounding this home.

In anticipation of our guests’ every need, the electronic front door locks require no keys to pick up, share or return. There is a large flat-screen TV, and high-speed Wi-Fi powers all your devices. The kitchen is fully stocked to meet all of your dining needs including shopping bags for your Farmer’s Market visits, basic seasonings and cleaning supplies. The downstairs laundry room features an over-sized washer and dryer. Throughout the home, labels and instructions aid familiarity with the house and appliances.

At sundown, you’ll soon appreciate the origin of Sunset Hale’s name. Sip a frosty cocktail as the setting sun nightly washes you with its crimson rays and reflect on yet another day in paradise.

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: It was a perfect stay in Hanalei with the property having everything we needed and walking to the beach and reatuarants of Hanalei. We were concerned about no AC as my husband is an asthma sufferer but it wasn’t an issue in the slightest. the numerous fans and trade winds made for perfect sleeping conditions. The owners left a little gift basket with recommendations and gift cards to local shops and when using a gift card at Pinks creamery, the person working there saw the gift card and said oh these owners are the best. We had that feeling but it was so nice to know how much they support local business on the beautiful island of kauai. Amazing recommendations. There was actually an island wide power outage the night before we checked out and we were quickly and easily able to find candles and matches. It really is the first time we have stayed anywhere where we felt like everything was thought of and left out for the renters and not stashed away in an owners closet. Wouldn’t hesitate to return. Most beautiful section of Hanalei beach. Loved loved. Thank you!

Just one house from the beach, it made getting to the beach easy and very doable for just a couple of hours at a time. The home cooled down at night, but may be too warm for some people. We would stay here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is perfect for our needs. Beautiful, clean, short walk to the beach, 10-15 min walk into Hanalei for shopping & restaurants, close to shuttle for Haena State Park (Ke'e Beach & Kalalau Trail). The property management & owners provided welcome packets with treats, complimentary shopping/lunch bags & coupons for local Hanalei businesses. Property management is extremely responsive to all questions. Highly recommend, especially if you are looking for a relaxing stay primarily in the North Shore area. We will be back!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great house, great location, clean and well maintained. Everyone had a fun time, especially with Hanalei Bay just a few steps away. The only slight negative is that the street is very busy with traffic going to and from the beach all day. Of course, there are also the roosters crowing at all hours, but that's Kauai.

No ocean view really- the trees and bushes have grown too high for the view. Busy road with surfers morning and evening but no problem. Loved our stay. Love Hanalei.

This really is a special property! The proximity to the beach and town can’t be beat, and the house/property did not disappoint. My family and I spent a lot of time cooking our own meals and were really impressed on how well equipped the kitchen was for 6 adults. The house was clean, the owner was responsive when needed, and the amenities were everything we were looking for. The whole experience was so positive, I will seek this property out again for my next trip. Mahalo!

Hanalei Bay is beautiful and it’s so nice to stay right on the beach to be able to enjoy it especially in the late afternoon when it’s less crowded. Fun to walk to and jump off pier. The house is comfortable and spacious with great amenities and lovely landscaping. Spent a lot of time on the great deck, just wish the trees were scaled back for an ocean view which would add to the lovely deck. Foot wash and outdoor shower were really nice and very convenient. We love hot water outdoor showers, a real treat. The rental company was generous and responsive. It can get muggy when there is no breeze, the numerous fans help a lot. Lovely home.

Great location half a block from the beach. Super for quick trips with the 2year old snd 4yr old. Plenty of local services withing walking distance. Grocery was hawaii reasonable on prices. Hanelei bay in Summer had just enough swell for the kids to boogie board. Plave had beach chairs, umbrellas,and boogie board. great jumping off spot for Northshore beaches.

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 stayed in this beautiful home for 11 days the end of May. It's steps to the beach and a seven minute walk to the adorable town of Hanalei. The local farmers market is every Saturday and it's even closer to the house. On arrival we were pleasantly surprised with gift cards to local places and an extra cleaning day during our stay. The home was very clean and the beds were comfortable. We had everything we needed for cooking and going to the beach. It is a busy rd next to the house but quiet after sunset and doesn't get busy until 10-11 am. The house is equipped with plenty of fans and with the windows open the lack of air conditioning was not a problem. I even got cold some nights with the windows open from the ocean breeze or if it rained. We can't wait to go back and would highly recommend this home if you vacation in Hanalei Bay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful 6 days in Hanalei Bay, staying in Sunset Hale. The house was convenient to both the beach and the town. It is only one house from the beach, and we spent time on the beach and in the water multiple times a day. My 11 and 13 year old boys surfed daily with my husband and always had an area to surf where the waves were just the right size for them.The house was well maintained and well equipped. There were spices already there which enhanced our meals, and we had plenty of dishes, toilet paper, soap, etc. We used the washer and dryer which are located in a locked area under the house. They provided fragrance free detergent. We always had everything we needed and more.The owners of this unit seemed especially generous and left us gift certificates for various local places like the ice cream store. We used many of the gift certificates, and enjoyed getting to walk into town for great food. Also, the property management company was excellent in their communication, and also left us treats and a small cooler bag and grocery bag that we also used daily. The house was extremely clean, and everything was in excellent working order. Thank you again!

115 steps from the front door to the grass of Hanalei beach, hard to beat that for the price you pay for this location. We loved how close we were to restaurants and shops, 1/2 mile walk or drive. We used the outdoor shower and the foot cleaning faucet on the regular. We cooked dinner 3 times, we ate out the rest. If you plan to cook at the house, give yourself plenty of time, heating food and boiling water at sea level is slower than some people are used to. We live at a high elevation but have stayed in rentals on the islands before so we were prepared, the kids, who we made cook twice, we’re not lol. The beds and pillows were really comfortable, the living room furniture wasn’t but we still sat in there every night, visiting with our two grown kids and their significant others. I would imagine this rental gets pretty warm in the summer months without AC but it was perfect during our stay in March. Lots of ceiling fans, plug in fans and stand up air conditioners are available in each room. We had such a lovely time and agree that for our active lifestyle and the beautiful green scenery surrounding Hanalei Bay, our VRBO pick was spot on.

What a perfect place to stay!!! Right next to the beach and a quick walk to anything you need. The house is equipped with everything you need. We enjoyed fresh fish from the dolphin fish market, ice cream from Pink’s twice and the amazing sunsets almost every day. House is as shown and made for a wonderful trip to Hanalei.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved this house and our stay here...We were so comfortable and appreciative of the great beds, screened windows, fans everywhere, outdoor shower, etc. If people are looking for a super tranquil experience it is good to know that the house is on a small road that many people use to get to the beach. It did not bother us as it was worth it to be so close to the beach and in such a great house, but I think some people might prefer to be further from the beach and in more solitude. Personally we'd be back in a heartbeat.

We have been coming to Hanalei and renting houses for over 20 years. Aside from the time we splurged and rented a beachfront house, this is the nicest we have been in. We would without question rent it again.

Wonderful house in Hanalei. Well-maintained, clean, beautiful garden, well-equipped kitchen. Steps away from the ocean….you can hear the waves. A perfect family vacation spot. Would love to return again. Advertised as ocean views from the lanai but neighbors hedge overgrown so no view. Otherwise a truly lovely family vacation home.

We had such a wonderful time at Sunset Hale in Hanalei. The management company (Kauai Vacation Rentals) was great to work with during all aspects of our stay. They communicated regularly with us on travel requirements and answered any questions we had about our trip. The home is very clean and has everything you would need for your stay. We greatly appreciated the recommendations for restaurants/shopping in the area and were very thankful for the owners, who left a thoughtful gift since we were staying over the holiday. The house is close to the beach and walking distance from shopping and restaurants. It is on a popular street for beach access/surfers, so there was some traffic, but nothing that wouldn't be expected in any beach town. We spent lots of time on the deck and utilized the grill & kitchen daily. I would highly recommend this home and we will definitely be back!

I had a wonderful stay with my daughters and husband. We we’re steps to the beach. The Lanai has a peek a boo view of the ocean. We walked into town too. It was a very convenient location. The house was perfect! Felt like you were in the middle of the jungle. Clean, and had everything you could need. We loved the outdoor shower too. The Owners welcome gifts were a very nice touch. We used a couple of the gift cards. We would definitely stay there again.
