Just across the street from the iconic Hanalei Bay with its ocean sunset and mountain waterfall views, this large family home is perfect for your Kauai vacation!

From the generous lanai complete with gas grill, you’ll be awed by the majestic scenery and tropical landscaping. Direct access to the lifeguarded soft-sand beach makes it easy for everyone to roam back and forth freely.
You’ll also be just a short stroll from fabulous Hanalei town, a bohemian and eclectic enclave, complete with wonderful one-of-a-kind shops, delicious casual and fine-dining restaurants, a famous farmer’s market, and of course, shave ice! No visit to Hawai’i is complete without this unique treat.

Hale Naninoa features 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, air-conditioning in the upper living area & all bedrooms. Enjoy a spacious tropical outdoor shower! With two separate indoor living areas plus the furnished lanai and super-fast wifi throughout, there’s plenty of room to spread out and allow each family member to find their own “happy place”.

Upstairs, the family will enjoy the spectacular views from the sliding glass doors leading to the oversized covered lanai. Here is a complete outdoor living area, with generous seating, gas grill and a deck bar for sunset mai tais in full view of the deep blue water of Hanalei Bay.
Downstairs may just be taken over by the youngest of the group for its fun party feel. It has a large seating area, 4K flat-screen TV, and a ping-pong table. Perfect for some friendly competition! In addition, this level has two bedrooms and one full bath.

Indoors, you’ll find a traditional Hawaiian-style home, with white beadboard, vaulted ceilings, and ceiling fans in every room. Lots of windows bring in abundant natural light and spectacular views. The trade winds, ocean waters, and air-conditioned living space will keep you cool.
The large kitchen features stainless steel appliances, plenty of workspace on granite counters, quality chef’s gear, lots of cabinets, and two full-sized refrigerators for all your goodies. Enjoy fresh tropical smoothies from your Vitamix!

The eat-in kitchen offers an expansive natural monkeypod table with seating for 12, and the living room has another large 4K flat-screen TV and comfortable seating. Down the hall are two bedrooms that share one full bath plus an en-suite master bedroom with a private balcony, all with jaw-dropping waterfall views.

Your family will also enjoy the use of boogie boards, surfboards, sand toys and other beach equipment stored in the garage, as well as two washers and two dryers for all those sandy beach clothes. Enjoy Hanalei town by bike! This property comes with 5 beach cruisers.
Hale Naninoa means “beautifully free.” Relax on the lanai. Stroll on the soft beach. Cruise the bohemian town. Ride the perfect waves. Enjoy paradise on your own schedule. And be sure to be on the lookout when gentle sunshowers come -- they almost always invoke the famous Hawaiian double-rainbows!

With its lovely native decor, you will have a true Hawaiian experience at Hale Naninoa in beautiful Hanalei. We look forward to welcoming you home.

Nice big kitchen and dining area with several different hang-out areas outside and inside. The downstairs bedroom and living area was perfect for our daughter and grandkids. Big plus was the 5 beach cruiser bikes, 4 surfboards and 4 boogie boards! Out family was set!! Location couldn't be better with walk across street to beach and down street to town.

The location of this property is absolutely perfect. Less than five minute walk to beach. Plenty of chairs, umbrellas, and beach gear for multiple people. The house was clean, everything worked as expected. A/C keep the house comfortable temperature. Great outdoor shower. Close to town and wonderful places to eat and shop. Recommend 10 out of 10 times to anyone.

Reviewer Comments: With its family friendly layout, bikes and beach toys, huge lanai, and views of the mountains and the bay, this was a magical vacation with family. The location is perfect, and the property is clean and well maintained. We enjoyed walking to town-even the 3 year old could do it. We stopped at Tahiti Nui for delicious drinks and appetizers and got fish from the Dolphin Fish Market as often as possible, then bbq-ed on the lanai, enjoying sunsets, rainbows, and even a moonbow! We will definitely be back!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a lovely stay at this property last month. The close proximity to the beach and to town was a real plus for us. We’ve been coming to Hanalei for 35 years and always stayed on the beach. Now most all these properties are no longer on the rental market, so finding one that was so close to the public access entrance, yet not noisy or trafificy, was a treat. We were a party of 6 adults, a toddler and two crawling infants. Features like a well stocked kitchen and clean ample laundry facilities were much appreciated. The little ones were happily tucked away in the quiet downstairs bedrooms reachable by a conveniently gated staircase. We had beautiful weather and made good use of the beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, bikes, etc. This house was fully equipped. I for one also appreciated how nicely decorated it was, from the beautiful dining table to the wall art. Many rentals have that dreary look of worn out bedding and second hand furnishings. This house looked and felt just right. And the grounds were a constant source of wonder, especially with babies to distract. Beautiful, unique flowering specimens and a marvelous banana tree. Our few questions for property management were dealt with quickly and courteously. I could see our family choosing to stay again in the future.

The property is absolutely fantastic. The views from the front porch are incredible and the location is right across from the beach and a block or so to the heart of town. I would highly recommend this property. Couldn’t have been more pleased. Thank you all.

The view from the deck and kitchen was probably our favorite thing, unobstructed and you walk across the street to enjoy Hanalei Bay. All the rooms were well stocked. Loved the outdoor shower and ping pong table. 5 bikes in the garage and all the beach things you need. Short walk to town or really short bike ride. We LOVED this house and would definitely love to stay here again.

We were two families and the house was terrific for our spring break. The highlights were: comfortable sleeping for everyone; a very well-stocked kitchen (we joked that we wanted to give it an extra star for having tupperware); an orderly garage with on-point beach gear. It's right across the street from an excellent beach and the town is walking distance but we used the bikes a ton to get there and back. Recommend!

The house is super clean and adequate. The shining glories are that (1) the basement makes a great 2-bedroom apartment for the kids (2) it’s located directly across from the public beach with life guard, AND (3) it includes bikes, surf boards, boogie boards, snorkels, beach towels, beach chairs… that is huge. :)

Wonderful! We were a family of 8 adults, two kids and a baby. The setup was perfect for us. The family with the kids had the lower level and the rest were upstairs. The gate leading to downstairs was very helpful for a baby who just learned to walk. FYI there is a pack and play in one of the guest rooms upstairs, it’s not in listing so don’t lug yours like we did. The traffic on the main road in front of the house was not bad at all, lots of surfers in the morning headed to the pier. We saw the same folk every day, what a life! The house is in a perfect location, directly across from the main entrance to beach and close walk or bike to town. The yard is impeccably maintained, there is a cute orange kitty that loves to drop by and say hi and a rooster who thinks he’s all that. Ha! The house was very warm upon arrival but once we let the heat out and turned the wall AC on it cooled off, it did take a good day for it to cool upper floor. Bedrooms are still warm but the fans were super helpful. This humidity hater survived, so can you. We had a chef who was very thankful for the AC! The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need, maybe a refresh of utensils but overall all was perfect. The serving platters and nice bowls were wonderful for our dinners in. The house was very clean, comfy beds and lots of towels. Zero complaints. We were appreciative of all the beach equipments, lots of tents, umbrellas, beach towels, flippers, kids beach toys, bikes, boogie boards and soooo much snorkel gear (we bought new and added to the collection). 10 days in paradise at this beautiful property. A trip that we will remember forever. Thank you for the memories!

Location, location, location! Aside from the property's own amenities, you cannot beat the location. We barely drove our rental cars during the entire stay. The seemingly unlimited beach is across the street and restaurants and shops are a short walk/bike ride away.

Great location. Easy to walk or ride bikes to anywhere in Hanalei. The house was fantastic. We had 10 people 6 adults and 4 teens - all fit comfortably. Enough space for everyone. Great kitchen and perfect dining table - and able to cook most nights for everyone. Only wish we could have used the 2nd fridge like we had planned, but it all worked out. The bikes were great to get around town. The canopies and umbrellas were "well loved" and not all functional. Beds were all comfortable and we slept well. We celebrated our parent's 50th anniversary in comfort and style. A trip of a lifetime. Mahalo!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were six adults 2 boys 6 and 1p and an 4 month old infant. The house accommodated us well despite an initial concern about the small living room. Most of our leisure time was spent at the beach or hiking and the lanai was a generous size and well furnished for outdoor lounging. We cooked most meals at the house with the benefit of dolphin fish market, farmers markets and foodlandia in Pricevilles. House was very well equipped for a group (except for an odd absence of decent cooking utensils and bbq utensils) Beach equipment and bikes are superb. Kevin’s availability and responsiveness were fantastic.

This property was everything we had hoped for. Great space for all 9 of us to engage and separate when needed. View and proximity to the beach couldn't be better. The bikes allowed for so much more access to see the island! Plenty of beach toys to entertain everyone! Special touches throughout the house were very much appreciated. Kitchen was equipped with everything we could have needed and plenty of dishes, silverware and glasses! Very appreciative to have the perfect space for our family and the memories made celebrating Mom's 88th birthday!

I love Hanalei Bay and wanted to share the beauty of the North Shore with my extended family. From the proximity to the beach (the views are epic), to the bikes, snorkel gear, ping pong table, extra beach towels, the giant family-style dining table and more, it was absolutely perfect. Would rent this place again!

We had 9 people stay here ranging from age 8 to 83 and this property is perfect for a family or group of friends to stay. Plenty of space to spread out, easy access to the Hanalei beach and pier, and a quick 5 minute walk into town. There was plenty of outdoor/beach equipment to use. It would have been nice to have a canopy available for spending a few hours at the beach in the sun - it gets hot! The property looked just like the online photos. The house was immaculate, the views were spectacular and everything you could want in a vacation home, whether it was in the kitchen or bathroom, was available for use. The neighborhood was very pleasant and quiet. Communication with the property manager was promptly addressed. We have already recommended this house to other family members and will definitely recommend to any friends planning a trip to Kauai in the future. I would not hesitate to stay at this property again!

The location of this wonderful Hanalei house was terrific. Our family (ages 1 to 64) could not have been happier. Proximity to the beach and the availability of all the toys - surf boards, boogie boards, sand toys and beach chairs made everyone happy. The well-stocked kitchen was an added bonus. Barbara was very helpful and available. We would absolutely rent this house again.

Over the years we have stayed in many vacation homes on Weke Road, and next time we will choose to go back to our new favorite, Hale Naninoa. It was clean, spacious enough for all...the ping pong table was in frequent use, as well as the bikes. The kitchen is so well equipped, including a cupboard stocked with staples left by previous guests. All the amenities are top notch, and we couldn't ask for more of anything.Enjoy!

We enjoyed a lovely family vacation at this home. The house had everything we needed, was well appointed, comfortable and exactly as it appears in the photos. We enjoyed the boogie boards and surf boards, snorkel gear, sand toys and great cruiser bikes. The house was quieter than other locations that we have stayed at in KHanalei bay and there was less early morning rooster noise (what a welcome treat!) Access to the beach is very easy. Great stay. Thank you.

We walked to the town for dinner most nights, but it would have just as easy to BBQ on the deck.Bottom line: We would go back in a nano-second.

This was our 3rd trip to Hanalei. We were looking for a house that could comfortably fit our family of six. This house was perfect with two separate living spaces with a game room with table tennis. The house was well equipped with WiFi, Apple TV, nice bedding and lots of beach gear. It very close to beach access and easy walk into town. They recently expanded the lanai made a huge difference. Although it is across Weke rd, this house still has great views of Hanalei bay, mountains and waterfalls. We saw multiple rainbows from our deck during our stay. The house did not have air conditioning but all the rooms have ceiling fans and extra floor fans just in case. We were comfortable the whole time and if we got hot we just went for a swim in beautiful, calm Hanalei Bay. We had a magical time at Hale Moran and look forward to returning.

Our grandchildren had a joyous time on the beach with all of the boogie boards, beach toys, chairs, etc. We spent an afternoon at the beautiful Haena Beach and also Annini Beach. Kids fished off the Hanalei Pier. A short walk to town for take-out food and souvenir shopping was also great. Hope to return in the not too distant future.

This house is as good as you can get without being actual beachfront. It comfortably accommodated 11 in our party. It has a beautiful view of Hanalei Bay and is directly across from the beach pavilion - just steps from the beach. The children enjoyed the downstairs playroom, ping pong table and big screen TV while the adults sipped a Mai Tai or the equivalent on the porch. Our only criticism was that the house got very warm in the afternoon but it was July in Kauai and to be expected. There is no air conditioning.

Rainbows and waterfalls can be seen on a regular basis. It was a short walk in to town and to the Saturday Market (bring bags). We had five children ranging from 4 to 13 and were able to keep them entertained. We loved the Smith's Luau (would recommend going early because there is so much to see), Safari Helicopter is a great way to view all of the beautiful waterfalls, Lydgate State Park has a wonderful playground for the children, Tunnels Beach is a great place to snorkel, and we found secluded beaches to do paddle boarding, surfing and calm swimming for the younger children. I would recommend going to Kilauea lighthouse - very interesting. Grocery stores located in Hanalei Bay and a larger one in Princeville. We were able to watch the canoe races in Hanalei Bay - right across from the home. We took the children to Kilohana Plantation for a train ride - they had so much fun feeding the animals - they also have a great ice cream parlor there. We enjoyed several restaurants - Hanalei Gourmet - great fish tacos, Tahiti Nui - great pizza and we went to Dukes in Lihue (beautiful views and great salad bar)before we left. The town of Hanalei is very quaint - from the one lane bridge coming into town to the restaurants, local activities and friendly people. We would recommend coming again and staying at the same home. Big thanks to Lisa with Coldwell Banker Bali Hai Realty for being so helpful!

The location was excellent, just across from the beach and a short walk to town. The house was spotless, well stocked and had an ocean view!! Who could ask for more? We were a group of 4 couples and we each decided this was a great house for a group or family. I hate to say too much, because we hope to rent it again! Mahalo!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home and location were amazing - extremely convenient to the beach and to town and a great setting. Only draw back for me was the gas infrared grill- it should have been a regular gas grill as it took forever to cook on. But that's only real complaint!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Hale Moran was excellent. We had 6 adults and 5 kids with us, there was plenty of room between the five bedrooms, and it was a great layout for a relaxed vacation, with the kids downstairs, the adult bedrooms in the back and public areas up front with views of the beach and mountains. We loved the location - right across the street from beach access with great boogie boarding and beginner surfing, a 5 minute walk to town, and a quick drive to all of the amazing beaches and hiking the north coast has to offer. This was one of our top ten lifetime vacations.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Hale Moran proved a comfortable home for our 8 guests over Christmas week. The 5 bedrooms were comfortable. The WiFi and television with Cable worked well. The location right next to Hanalei Beach was great (but bustling). If you are looking for a quiet retreat with no traffic you'll need to be away from the beach. We walked into town every day which was great (less than 10 minute walk). The beach chairs, towels, boogie boards, etc. were all great. We used the washer/dryer which was very convenient. The only (slight) complaint would be that the bathrooms (especially the Master bath) and the kitchen are dated and could use a remodel, so if you are looking for St. Regis quality, well, stay at the St. Regis.

We were a party of 6 beach lovers. This was an excellent place for us to stay. A few steps to the beach and a beautiful view from the lanai. The property description was accurate regarding the location, layout and amenities. The property was clean and well maintained. We were provided good customer service. I would recommend Hale Moran for sure.

I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home is very close to the beach access which is great, but there is a lot of noise throughout the day with people parking near the house and walking to the beach. The kitchen leaves a lot to be desired. It is not functional and is not well stocked. The house was very clean and the management company was awesome!
