This house was very clean, open and light (walls a very good light color). There was good airflow and functioning fans. Big window to let more light in even on rainy days. I love this place and will be returning.

My husband and I stayed at Old Style twice in one year. Family weddings in the area both times. We love the place. Our access to Hanalei and the beach kept us just happy to stay around the area. We did not feel the need to drive somewhere every day. And the house is very pleasant for two people. Every room very spacious.

This was our second stay at “Old Style” and it won’t be our last. It’s a little piece of paradise and the perfect place to rest and reset your body, soul and mind. The views are spectacular, and others must think so as well, since we watched 2 beach weddings from our front window. Don’t let that fool you, the beach is not crowded at all, and just a mile walk down the beach to the Hanalei Pier. The home is modest but cozy and quiet (except for the roosters, but you get used to that). I can’t even imagine staying anywhere else when visiting Kauai.

We had a great stay here. The bungalow is just a quick walk across the grass to the beach- amazing location! The internet was not working for us, but we were able to get help to get it working the next day.

This property was perfect for my wife and I to finish our 10 day honeymoon to Hawaii. We got to relax in this beautiful home only steps from the beach. And the mountainous backdrop was stunning. Perfect distance from town, could drive, walk, or bike. We even jogged into town early one morning for breakfast. The beach was beautiful and the breeze kept the house nice and cool. Would definitely stay here again and recommend for anyone looking for an awesome trip.

My wife and I celebrated our 1st anniversary in Hanalei and in Old Style. From the house to location to beauty we couldn’t have asked for more. Our communication with property owners, check in, and amazing reception with Prosecco and delicious star fruit were all superb. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back.
Just a short beach walk to town and a bit further to the pier. The view from the main room to the ocean each day made us love it even more. Thanks you!

Tiny house on one of Hawaii best beaches. Literally walk out the back to a huge grassy yard that ends on the beach. The house is very modest which was fine but all the appliances are pretty cheap, (not what you would expect when pay so much per night) but towels, lawn furniture, toys for the beach, all included. Bring coins for the laundry.

Living the simple life for 8 days right on Hanalei Bay was a beautiful experience. The house is a cute, comfy escape and we hated to leave. Walking the beach and watching the surfers was one of the highlights of our trip. Not many people on the beach until the weekend, which was great, and even then, it was fun. Walked into town to do a little shopping, and we ate at a Thai food truck that had some of the best food we have ever eaten. At this time of year (March) most of the activities take place on the other side of the island. At first we thought this could be an inconvenience, but then we realized this also meant most of the people were on that side too, so the drive was worth it. We have decided this could become a yearly retreat.

The property is unique in it's location next to the toniest beach on Kauai. It's easy to spend the day walking the beach to watch the surfing and to visit the town for the small shops and restaurants. The cottage is vintage, but adequate. The kitchen is well equipped. The hot water was sufficient for me, but could run out for a larger group (especially teenagers). The internet connection was reliable; the TV package was mostly high school sports (national networks only on weekends); the electricity went out once for four hours at night.
The only problem was the occasional heavy rains, which are becoming more frequent. Those somewhat limit the outdoor activities, and could cutoff access to Hanalei. The road out was almost cut off the day before I left and was totally cut off the day after I left.
Overall it is a great place, but it's not for everyone.

Our stay at “Old Style” in Hanalei exceeded our expectations. We are a family with two very young kids. The beach was really just across a back lawn, super close. We would often go for walks on the beach and wade across a river that flower into the ocean before breakfast. A huge plus for us was the space on the grass that the kids had to roam. Access to groceries was super easy, probably less than a 5 minute drive to the main grocery store. I can’t identify any negatives, and I want to return.
Beyond the property, I loved seeing the dramatic green mountains in view when in the water at the beach in Hanalei.

My wife, 1.5 yr old son and two good friends stayed here for 4-5 days and we loved it. The place is simple, stocked with everything you need and in an absolutely perfect location. We played bocce in the yard, walked to the beach, walked into town and listened to the waves at nighttime. Mahalo for the wonderful stay!

The Old Style was the perfect north shore getaway location! Quiet neighborhood, walk directly to the beach, the house was perfect for us as a couple, chairs/umbrellas/boogie boards/etc. provided, and loved that cooking elements available as a bonus (seasonings, dry foods, condiments, etc.). We'll be back! And Suzanne and team were awesome!

I brought my daughter here for spring break/graduation gift. This house is so cute! Super clean and had everything we needed. Walking distance to shops/restaurants and super close to the beach (right out the back door!) Beds are very comfortable - which is a big deal to me.
This home was recommended to me by a friend and I would totally recommend it to others as well!

This was one of three places we stayed on Kauai over a two week period. It was within walking distance to downtown and access to the beach was good. The little house was quaint and clean. It is part of a group of houses that share a large lawn, and sometimes others were using it to play games. We would stay here again.

This sweet little house was spotlessly clean and well supplied. There were beach towels, beach chairs, a shade canopy, boogie boards, and children's beach toys. There's a charcoal grill on the lanai. You can see the ocean from the window, lanai, and lounge chairs in the backyard. I enjoyed sitting there among the tropical plants and watching the ocean from a little distance. The beach is only a few steps away across the back yard. Waves were strong in February. Town was a little further than I expected, and we preferred to drive rather than walk. It appears that folks from 4 vacation rental homes share the backyard and washer/dryer. Everyone was quiet and polite. It felt a bit like a vacation at grandma's house, peaceful and happy.

Great location if Hanalei Beach and Bay are the focus of your visit. Everything we needed for a relaxing trip was available in Hanalei and we ventured out only for a visit to Kilauea and the Kalalau Trail.

The location of this property is hard to beat, walking distance to downtown Hanalei, Hanalei bay and what feels like your own private beach. Amazing views of the mountains and waterfalls.
Everything about this property was great, very clean, cozy and we had everything needed. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning.

This home was perfect for our family of 4 and quite a welcome difference between a resort property. The location was quiet and peaceful, enjoyed the rain, birds and chickens to wake us. We walked along the beach into town for dinner one night and enjoyed pizza on the beach another night. Coffee on the beach each morning. Great location and the cottage couldn’t be more charming. I was concerned about no air conditioning but that was not an issue ever, the trade winds cool it down perfectly. This property is a true hidden gem and we would love to come back again soon!

I have been to Kauai 7 times and this trip was the best due to the location. So peaceful, quite and close to the beach.

We loved our week at Old Style. It’s location close to the beach, a short walk across a beautiful lawn, was ideal. It was hotter than expected during our stay—especially mid to late afternoon, so it was the perfect time to go to Hanalei or Anini Beach nearby for swimming and snorkeling, or sometimes just sit in the shade under an old ironwood tree by the beach and read.

Our stay in the very sweet cottage on magical Hanalei Bay was unfortunately timed. During our stay there was major construction on a house right next to the cottage and on the other side of the road from the cottage. Construction began between 6:15 and 7am every weekday. We were also stuck in the midst of a family gathering which occupied the main house and top and bottom of the next door house, and although it was an incredibly fun and friendly family, we had little privacy or use of the outdoor area during their stay. I would definitely recommend the cottage based on the proximity to the incredible beach, but if you are looking for privacy or quiet you might want to check with the owner regarding the construction prior to booking, since it really created problems for us throughout our stay.

The Old Style house was just as advertised. Comfortable, clean and cozy and the location was perfect for the two of us. About a 10-15 minute walk to Hanalei restaurants and shops and beach access right out the back door. We had a great time in spite of the rain as there was a lot more rain than sunshine during our stay end of April. Love the low key, authentic vibe of Hanalei!

Hi! We stayed at the Old Style Beach House on Hanalei Bay as part of our three place honeymoon vacation to Kauai and this was our highlight. This is a great location for walking to the center of Hanalei with breathtaking views of the ocean and the mountains - snuck right in the middle. The house was perfect with tons of light and a kitchen conducive to cooking at home, if you choose not to eat out at the great local restaurants. All in all, an enjoyable stay at a great house worth checking out.
Deb and Matt!!

We enjoyed the grassy landscape with the beach an easy stroll. The rain sounded nice on the rooftop. The bungalo had a sweet open floor plan and our daughter said the bed was very comfortable in the living room. We would do it again.

we visited to celebrate our tenth anniversary with our six year-old and had a fabulous stay. this property is depicted accurately. it is not fancy, but the location cannot be beat and it has everything you would need to enjoy kauai. it is absolutely immaculately clean. there is shared coin-op laundry in a separate outbuilding on site. the unit features two twin beds in the living room and a separate queen (king?) bed in the master bedroom. there is a grill and beach chairs are provided. no bikes are provided, which is a very minor downside, but they can be easily rented. the enormous oceanfront lawn is shared by I believe four properties and leads directly to hanalei bay beach. it is about 3/4 mile into "downtown hanalei", easily bikeable or walkable through an exclusive neighborhood. no housekeeping, which was a plus for us, as we did not want to be bothered during our stay. if you want granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a whirlpool tub and double vanities this is not your place and you should look into staying at a resort. I would absolutely stay here again. this was our 8th trip to the hawaiian islands and this was easily my favorite place including several other beachfront properties and 5-star resorts. mahalo, terri and suzanne! we will be back as soon as possible!

Thank you, our stay was wonderful, and your property is truly amazing. We loved waking to the chorus of birds every morning, the quiet pace of Hanalei, and just being in such beauty. We went to a sunrise Easter service on the pier, got to watch Bethany Hamilton and a bunch of younger kids surfing the bay one afternoon, and were amazed by the beautiful beaches nearby. We had boogie boards and rented a paddle board, used both on the bay in front of the house. We will definitely recommend your houses to anyone looking for a place to stay in Hanalei.
The house had plenty of room for a family of 4, was clean, looked just like the photos, and was so convenient to both the beach and town. We loved snorkeling at Tunnels and Kee, were able to visit Queens Bath on a calm surf day, and were stunned by the beauty of Secret Beach. We ziplined at Princeville ranch, the zip only outing, enjoyed morning coffee at Java Kai, casual dinner at Kalypso's, and bar-b-q ing fresh fish at the house.

We stayed a full week at Old Style over Thanksgiving week. What a great place... small but not too small, quaint, clean and well equipped. A beautiful view of the ocean just 30 yeards away. The sound of crashing surf. A short bicycle ride to down town or the peir. We will be back!

We had a great honeymoon at the Old Style Beach House in May 2009. The place was exactly as advertised and in fact, the pictures didn't do it justice. While we were there, Hanalei Bay was rated the No. 1 Beach in the US. Hanalei itself is a charming little place, perfect for strolling and relaxing. All in all, a great place that to which we will surely return. Mahalo

Old Style Beach House was a wonderful place to stay. We felt like we could stay forever in this bit of paradise. Right on the ocean at the quiet end of the beautiful bay, everything you need is here.

We had a great stay at the Old Style Beach House. The location is perfect and the cottage is spacious and comfortable. One minor problem was that the coffee pot did not work. Our two night stay was too short and we hope to return.

Thanks for a wonderful stay at the Old Style Beach House. What a location...just a few steps from the beautiful Hanalei Bay beach. We had a great time surfing in the morning, taking our cocktails down to the beach to watch the sunset and cooking barbeques on the porch in the evening. Only a short walk to the cute town too. Relaxation at its best....beats all the big resorts hands down!!

My husband, John, and I really enjoyed the "Old Style". It felt spacious yet cozy. The view was wonderful, and with the beach right out front it was easy to get up early for "dawn patrol" on the water. We'll be back.
