The title of this unit is very accurate. The view is absolutely stunning & immediately set the tone for our very short stay putting big smiles & excitement in our faces. For our overnight purposes, it was just right & had everything we needed. The bed is very comfortable & the bathroom is spacious with an updated dual shower. The AC kept the room very nice & cool. The convenience of being on the 1st floor & in one of the buildings right next to the parking lot made things much easier for us to unload & load our luggage. We’ve stayed at this resort before in a different unit & love all of the amenities & the location. The only big drawback is finding parking. But the unit itself was enjoyable for our night stay. Mahalo!

The condo was clean and a great location in wailea. It was perfect for going out and exploring Maui. It is one of the furthest from the pool and beach but that was fine for our family.

Property location and views are unbeatable. However, the unit is a little dated and some things could be updated (i.e. new curtains, a microwave, etc.). Check-in was delayed for unforeseen reasons but the hosts were very nice and accommodating while we waited.

We could not have asked for a better stay in Kauai. This VRBO is perfect! The view from the room is unbelievable and the resort is beautiful. Super comfy bed, so quiet and clean, we will definitely rebook!

Hanalei Bay Resort is wonderful and the staff are a delight. This condo is very small and does not have a kitchen, just a sink and a mini fridge. We spent days reserving the adjoining unit. Prior to checking in, the host was very responsive, but once the check in date arrived, the host took days to respond to messages. We eventually did add the adjoining room and appreciated the full kitchen and extra bathroom, although that bathroom does not have a bathtub, despite one being shown in the floor plan.

We were attending a wedding in the area so didn't spend a lot of time at the apartment but could have happily stayed longer. The apartment was spacious and well suited for our group of 3 adults. The resort had a lovely pool area and a couple of restaurants to supplement the kitchen if you didn't want to cook. We had a car and parking was at a premium.

Laurie was such an amazing host! She was so responsive and on top of all of our questions. We utilized her rental vehicle on Turo and wow! I usually have to wait hour + at the rental cars at the airport this was less than 10 mins and we were off! The view is spectacular from the room, you over look the mountains and pictures don’t do it justice. We were minutes away from Hanalei and not too far from Tunnels. It was perfect. To get down to the beach on the property, it is quite a hill to walk up and down but if you have any trouble with walking you can always utilize the golf carts that will pick you up/drop off. Same goes for parking your vehicles since that is quite a walk as well (with luggage). An overall fantastic stay and we can’t wait to come again! Thank you so much!

You can’t beat the views of the Napali coast right from the lanai! The property grounds are beautiful. You feel like you are in the middle of the jungle. There is a short walk to the beach. It’s not far but it is steep! They offer golf cart rides if needed. My husband and I were able to do it no problem but if you are older or have many kids I’d opt for the ride. They do have a collapsible wagon to help your lug your stuff down. You can also rent kayaks/surf boards/chairs etc. at the beach. Beach is shared with the beautiful 1 Hanalei Hotel. We enjoyed the restaurant on site - Happy Talk Lounge. They had live Hawaiian music and gorgeous views. There is a pizza restaurant as well, however we didn’t have a chance to try it. The place is well equipped with necessities kitchen, bath, beach. Would definitely recommend this place if you are looking to stay on the north shore!

The grounds were nice, the bathroom in our unit was nice BUT the shower water at it coldest was warm and I prefer my showers on the colder side. There were beach supply’s stored in the closet, which was nice, unfortunately the air conditioner was fair at best. The pull down bed was broken (the medal support at the foot that holds the bed up). We weren’t able to access Netflix on the tv and when I messaged the lady responsible for our unit she said she didn’t think they even had it. The window blind behind the sofa where you sit to watching was broken on one side so it wouldn’t close and hung down sideways so we had to Gerry rig it against the wall with the sofa. At check in we were given rubber wristbands to wear while at the swimming pools and weren’t aware that they would charge us if they were lost. I thought mine was lost but thankfully I found it. Last, and this may be on VRBO, I paid in full before we arrived and the resort charged fees on top of the supposed “total” fees that VRBO charged. The food at the restaurant was okay. Our waitress was great! Very friendly and knowledgeable about the foods.
I won’t book here again based on the price I paid to stay and these items I listed above. It wasn’t cheap so I would expect everything to be in perfect order.

Very clean, nicely decorated, beautiful views. I would definitely stay here again and recommend renting this property. The only problem we had was with checking in, according to check in they did not have our reservation. Vacasa was very helpful and responsive in clearing things up with front desk.

Well appointed resort property, friendly staff and welcoming grounds here.
The unit was very clean, has an exceptional view- best in complex for sunsets - and has just a few minor issues that are easily overlooked- small shower/ door hits the shower head and you have to squeeze in and out of the shower (I’m fairly small so it wasn’t a big deal), small refrigerator door and small drawer above it rub against the wall frame a bit.
Fees disclosed in the property description had gone up a bit- I found this out at check in- parking fee daily and resort fee daily add up but you do get pool access, towels, golf cart shuttles, concierge service and other amenities.
Owner was responsive and there were some refreshments upon arrival which was a nice touch and appreciated- also had a water filter in the fridge.

Hanalei bay resort has got to be one of the most beautiful spots on planet earth. We have stayed here many times before. We have booked through different private owners. I was concerned before arriving that the view might not be as spectacular as some of the other units we have reserved down further on the property but that concern was quickly put to rest the moment we walked in. The view out across the pool to the ocean beyond is just so pretty. At night the tiki torches add that special Hawaiian flavor to your panorama. The unit is well equipped with dishes pans etc. The bed is very comfortable but be warned the pillows are not down. Our only complaint was with the air-conditioner on the unit next door. It is noisy and blows hot air into our unit when the door is open. Unfortunately our neighbors ran it the entire time we were there day and night. Crazy considering the beautiful trades winds are so lovely at night along with the sound of rain. The location of the unit was great as far as parking close by. Dave is an absolute Joy to do business with. He went out of his way to be accommodating, so professional and prompt in all of his responses. He really helped make our trip fabulous!

Unit was clean and well appointed. Easy access to parking, office, restaurants and large pool. A bit noisy on the lanai as a result of the proximity to the restaurants.
Beautiful grounds. Very well maintained. Gorgeous walk to the beach on a paved roadway.

The balcony was our nightly gathering spot and morning coffee drinking area as well. Resort has one of the coolest beaches and two good restaurants with awesome views. Staff was cool and the studio was as shown…no surprises! Quiet, clean and comfy! The A/C worked well, too! Perfect place for what we needed. We will be back!

Clean condo with same view of the sunset as 1 Hotel— probably the best in the condo complex. Good restaurant on site with great vibe. One thing we didn’t know that could help other folks— Recommend bringing small bills for tips as there is no ATM in the resort and the golf cart guys work for tips. Nice beach on site with golf cart access up.

This was my first trip to Hawaii and my husband and I were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. The view from our unit was spectacular. We woke up every morning to looking at the mountains and the bay. The room was just as listed and had everything we needed. The resort itself was perfect. The pool is very nice, The restaurants were very good. And the beach is wonderful. I would highly recommend the unit and would stay there again.

This was probably the worst VRBO experience we have had..so bad in fact, I don’t think we will ever do it again. The musty smell of mold and mildew almost knocked us over when we walked in the door. It looks like there was a significant water issue because you can see the base boards and the bottom of the doors were starting to peel and come apart. Every time we flushed the toilet we held our breath hoping it didn’t overflow. Blankets covering the couch?! Looked like we were staying with an elderly family member. The view off the deck was very nice. It was the only plus. we could literally hear every word the people staying next to us said…so, pretty sure they heard us as well. This place needs a major Reno and until they do. They will get horrible reviews. It’s very obvious the property owner knows these issues exist and simply doesn’t care. It’s nothing short of a money grab

We love this place!!! We have come to Hanalai Bay Resort multiple times and it is just the most special beautiful magical place.

The unit is in a resort that is a short walk or golf cart ride to the beach! Parking was very close to the unit and Princeville was a wonderful place to stay with great snorkeling at the beach near Hanalei Bay. My partner and I noticed an unpleasant urine smell near the bed but Dave was quick to respond with solutions and short term fixes. The unit was well stocked with towels, soap, beach equipment, and laundry pods for the in unit washer/dryer. Dave said he would have the carpets shampooed so I don’t see this being an issue in the future but it did impact our stay. Overall I would happily stay here again!

We loved staying here and definitely come back. Hanalei Bay Resort is a huge property and many units need to get golf cart rides from the parking lot to their unit; however this unit is right next to the parking lot, overlooks the pool, and has a beautiful ocean view! The room has beach chairs and snorkels which we enjoyed using. The private beach is less than a 10min walk from the unit (or you can get a ride) and it is quite beautiful. I highly recommend staying here!

Hanalei Bay Resort is beautiful and is in a great location. However, most of the units there are individually owned and operated, so certain units are nicer than others. This unit was definitely outdated and was in need of a thorough deep clean.
There were stains on the walls, the curtains were dirty, shower grout and curtains were disgusting, the mattress was the most uncomfortable I’ve ever slept on, and there was a cockroach in the bed to greet us.
Communication with the host was a nightmare, as they ask you to download their third party app instead of communicating through Vrbo. I was very frustrated throughout the process.
I would NOT recommend this property, but would suggest finding another unit at Hanalei Bay Resort.

Home was nice and fully equipped. Staff driven golf carts to take you to different areas of the resort, nice walking paths. Home cool with AC. There are a lot of extra charges staying at the resort that added up to over an extra $200 for 3 nights- so just pay attention! Parking was not easy- 2 nights we rode around trying to find a place to park. We enjoyed the stay there and did not begin to use all of the amenities.

The resort itself is very beautiful- this unit is a different story. This unit needs a good deep clean. When we arrived there were cobwebs, multiple surfaces that were dusty, bugs in many places, little dirt specs on the comforter, and the tub/shower was filthy. After we showered the tub was also clogged so water was past our ankles any time we showered. We messaged Vacasa to know and they got us in contact with the property manager. They said they would have someone come do a quick wipe down of everything and have maintenance fix the drain. The only thing they wiped down was the tub - everything else was still dusty and overall just unclean. The shower was unclogged for about one shower then it went back to how it was before where it still wasn’t draining. We asked for an early check in and they said it wasn’t available- no big deal. We also asked if we could get a late check out. Vacasa told us that even though no one was checking in after us that it wasn’t available since we didn’t ask two days before check out. Overall just really unsatisfied. If you’re wanted to stay in Hanalei Bay, go through the resort itself and skip the hassle of dealing with Vacasa.

When we arrived to the condo there was a very strong musty smell even though the condo appeared very clean. We discovered the wall behind the master bed was full of water damage from about halfway up the wall down to the floor. The wall was soft and peeling with black discoloration behind the paint. We notified Steve immediately and provided photos of the damage. The manager of Hanalei Bay came out to look at the wall and confirmed it was a wall drain that was leaking.
Because this is a private rental the resort can not move you to a new unit if anything like this happens. Steve was quick to send an extra pair of sheets for the air mattress but was not responsive after that and was not open to any reimbursement. We were unable to use the master bedroom due to the water damage and had to sleep on an air mattress in the living room. Both my husband and I ended up getting sick in this unit.
The manager said he was very surprised the water damage had not been reported already. Hopefully Steve will take care of this issue as quickly as possible. Until it is fixed, I would avoid this unit.

Hanalei Bay Resort had wonderful amenities, the tropical pool with waterfalls and lush tropical plants and the grounds were immaculately kept. The Happy Talk bar and grill had great food, live music and he views from it were fabulous. The studio was decorated so nicely, very updated, so clean, king size bed/pillows were very comfortable and the bonus was the incredible view from the large Lanai. We saw double rainbows a couple of days, but sitting on the lanai viewing the waterfalls off in the distance and the pretty bay with mountains in the backdrop was the highlight.
It is a studio, with no kitchen, but the owners have added a small portable frig, microwave, coffee pot along with basic dishes. You do have to wash any dishes in the bathroom sink which took a bit of getting used to but it was nice having plates, cups, silverware etc.
Owner was very responsive and so nice.
Highly recommend this unit and Hanalei Bay Resort.
