Let me start my saying the property owner seems very nice and is very responsive. The house itself is weathered, in need of an update and a deep cleaning. It is very well located, right near town and about an 8 minute walk to the beach if you’re lugging equipment. I would recommend you like cats if you stay here. When we arrived there were about five plus cat beds, scratching posts along with tons of cat nip on the porch. The property owner had it moved when I asked but the outdoor doesn’t feel very clean and floors aren’t mopped and the furniture is not very clean. Overall we didn’t spend any time on the lanais or anywhere in the backyard because of this. That was quite disappointing. The house is well laid out and the size is comfortable but again, it doesn’t didn’t feel very clean. Wish I had a better review for it and hopefully it will get a deep cleaning in the future.

We love this house in Hanalei and have stayed here multiple times. It is comfortable, very well maintained and in a great location - close to town and an easy walk to the beach. The owner is wonderful and really cares about the guest experience.

We can't say enough great things about this home, we actually thought about skipping a review to keep it our little secret! :) We woke up our last morning and all said we will miss the house as much as Hanalei! It had everything we needed and more and was our best rental yet. This will be our top pick to stay every time we come to Kauai (hopefully not too far away....) Perfect location, perfect house, amazing hosts. It felt like we were staying with family instead of a VRBO. Thank you for sharing your home with us, Joan!

Great location: a few blocks to the beach; a couple blocks to the Hanalei restaurants. Great house: nice, roomy open layout in the common area; nice bedrooms; very quiet location; very private due to landscaping. Nice host. Fast internet. Our family of four was very comfortable for a week here and would definitely return.

We are a 3-generation family of 6 and enjoyed our stay in this lovely house in Hanalei. It is well located - within easy walking distance of the beach and all of the restaurants and shops in Hanalei. The house is well stocked both for beach adventures (chairs, umbrellas, wagons, sand toys, snorkeling gear, etc.) and for being comfortable indoors, with A/C in every room and a fully stocked kitchen. We also spent a lot of time on the back lanai, enjoying morning coffee and evening cocktails while the kids played the yard. Hanalei is a special place, and this is the perfect place to enjoy it!

This house is so special. The location is amazing. Steps away from shops and restaurants and 5 minute walk to the beach.
We visited with our three young children and this house had all the items we needed to make it easy- wagon, beach chairs, umbrella, sand toys, boogie boys, and MORE! Main living area and bedrooms have AC and beds are very comfortable.
Thank you to the host for sharing your incredible home, we would love to stay here again!

We have stayed in Hanalei/Kauai many times and the house and host exceeded our expectations. First off, communications with Joan concerning arrival and questions about where things were located during stay were prompt and very helpful.
The house is beautiful and very well kept. The beds were super comfortable, all the appliances worked well, and the pantry spices and other items were a nice touch! The a/c came in handy at night (separate unit for each room, which is great) and access to the beach equipment in garage was a huge plus (boogie boards, SUPs, kayak, chairs, snorkel gear, etc.). The lanai was fantastic and was blessed with a number of friendly neighborhood cats who would show up for outdoor feedings in the morning and evenings (Joan provided plenty of cat food for them) which my family thoroughly enjoyed! Location is perfect to walk to town or beach. Great host, great house! Mahalo!

Located minutes from the beach and all things Hanalei, we couldn’t have asked for a more desirable location! The design aesthetic is on point and everything was homey and comfortable. The kitchen is well appointed and includes everything needed to enjoy a chef’s dining experience. A huge plus was the filtered water system so we could top off our water bottles for our adventures exploring. The beds and linens were excellent and added to the general serenity of the house. It really is a peaceful place. Although we rented a car, we walked everywhere in town and to the beach, and rode the provided bikes around greater Hanalei. The hosts have provided every amenity you could want - bikes, beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkeling gear, stand-up paddle boards, and more. It truly felt like home! We did not have a single complaint or improvement to suggest and feel so lucky to have found this oasis in the middle of paradise.

This was our first trip to Kauai and I am grateful to have chosen Hanalei to stay. Joan is a wonderful host! Her directions for access were clear and easy to understand. She is quick to respond if you have any questions. The home is beautiful and well equipped. The back deck is peaceful and private. The home has everything you need to enjoy the beach - chairs, towels, boogie boards etc. The town of Hanalei is only one block outside the court. There are plenty of restaurants if you choose to eat out but the kitchen is well equipped if you choose to cook and eat in. We had a wonderful time and hope to come again!

This is a really nice house in a perfect Hanalei location, near restaurants, shopping, and many activities, with a five minute walk to the beach. The house is modern, roomy, and well equipped. The yard is private, with lovely landscaping and citrus trees. Joan is the best possible host - accommodating, communicative, and kind. She really wants her guests to have a great stay and she goes out of her way to make sure they do. I hope we have a chance to stay here again.
