Top Hotels Near Hanakapi'ai Beach in Hanalei from NZ$776

"We were looking for an ‘Old Hawaiian’ style vacation…. And we found it! The house is big and beautiful. 45 second walk to an amazing beach! Although there r a couple other homes in this old neighborhood, it feels like a private oasis. A coffee shop is within walking distance of desired. Hanalei is a 10-15 min drive on cute old roads with single lane bridges…. Hawaii at its best. The host Brian was super responsive, helpful and committed to providing the best experience for us. "

"If you are looking to relax, this is the place. Beautiful view & sound of the ocean. The massage at the spa on premises is life changing. There is also a coffee shop & a restaurant so there is no need to leave this oasis in paradise. "

"We have stayed in many places near here for 45 yrs. This place was great! The rest of our family were in a house nearby, we had grandkids over and there is so much room under house in the “outdoor living area”. "

"We traveled to Kauai primarily to relax. Being just steps away from the sand on a breathtaking beach was priceless. It was how we spent the majority of our time. The spot was great for snorkeling too. "

"WOW is the best place to describe this property. It's in a beautiful area of the island, super private and quiet. Situated on Haena Beach, just steps to Tunnels Beach that offers the best snorkeling in Kauai. The views from the living room are spectacular. We enjoyed morning coffee watching the sunrise and planning the day's activities out on the lanai The house had everything we needed from kitchen utensils, to beach chairs, snorkeling gear, floats and an iced chest. There is 1 bedroom/bath upstairs with the rest of the living area. We let my Mom stay in that room so that she did not have to navigate the stairs as often (bad knees!). 2 of the bedrooms downstairs are ocean view, a 3rd with 2 twin beds would work well for kiddos! I loved the character of the house, a bit older but well kept. The property grounds are fantastic, one could spend all day admiring the plants and flowers. I was concerned that the house did not have AC, but staying in early June, it did not bother us, other than one night that was unusually still. But, they provide fans which helped our TX family who is used to AC get comfortable. We never had an issue with mosquitos as others noted in the reviews.A couple of tips: When you walk out on the beach from the house, take a right. Walk out to the far point for spectacular sunset views (we even saw monk seals swimming in the water!). If you walk out the left around the other point, you will be on Tunnels Beach. We hope to return! Natalie @natpietsch "

"Your home was beautiful and perfectly placed. I can't thank you enough for allowing us the privilege of staying there. The home itself was stunning. We did express some concerns to the property manager and while he immediately got back with us, he failed to remedy any issues brought to his attention. Lack of window coverings in the 3rd upstairs bedroom, blinds that would not allow us to open and close them/lower or raise without such a struggle that we were afraid to break them. T.V. that was not opperable in 3rd bedroom upstairs, T.V. in main living quarters had a blue line through the center, doors that would not close or could notbe locked, plantain shudders in 1 master bath that were held together with zip ties and could not be opened, shower head in master bath had a makeshift showerhead holder that made it a constant challenge to get directional accuracy for 6'4" adult and 5'6" adult. (water shot straight out at one height adjustment or the other) Difficulty getting range to light due to igniter needing to be changed for burners, lawn chairs rusted out and daughter with back injury had issue after sitting on one that collapsed. Providing you this list is more for your records so that the issues can be addressed. This home is exquisite and desires the needed attention to keep it in top condition. Knowing that many of these are related to climate, I hope that issues will be addressed so that the home itself gets the attention that it deserves. Mahalo"

"This beautiful home on the north shore of Kauai is stunning! When you walk in, you can literally see the waves crashing on the shore. The louvered windows keep the tropical breeze flowing through the house, while keeping the bugs out. Plus there are plenty of ceiling and floor fans to boost the breeze when necessary. The water pressure is great. The kitchen is perfectly appointed with necessities like foil and sandwich baggies. The master bedroom bed is close enough to the ocean that you will fall asleep to the sound of the waves. We came away so well rested. We've stayed in Haena probably 8 times over the years, and you can't beat it for fulfilling your rural, private tropical fantasies. We spent a few days just sitting right outside the backyard on the beach and watching the waves and the turtles. The beach is swimmable very close to shore at this time of year. But be cautious because it can get very choppy. The walk to Tunnels - around the point - is a 15-minute walk. We timed it. It is less breezy there with a nicely protected cove for snorkeling. The walk is challenging with the deep, brown sugar sand -- but well worth the effort. We would stay here again many times over! We loved it! I'd recommend to the owners to update the front door lock. It is electronic but took sometimes 5-8 tries to get it to open. It's a little tricky."
