Property is on a stunning cliffs edge with a fabulous sunset. Our condo was wonderful and well equipped. It felt like a “home away from home” and is a fabulous homebase when exploring the island."

Top Mt. Waialeale Hotel Reviews

Nalu Hanalei, Stunning Home by the Beach TVR#5123

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was wonderful and met all of our expectations. It was a very practical layout for the group we were traveling with. The accommodations were excellent and the location so near the beautiful beach was ideal. I can't say enough good things about it!"

Plantation Cottage - very private 1br/1ba cottage near the beach in Hanalei

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay and are returning home so happy. The home is beautiful and thoughtfully appointed. Our host was very helpful and the area is perfectly walkable and easy to navigate. Can't wait to return!"

Makai Club Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Property itself was nice and location was relatively close to Hanalei. As long as you don’t plan on golfing, I feel like the property is a good value. The golf course is super pricey so that was kind of a bummer. I’ve played pro course for far less but I guess when you’re in paradise, be prepared to pay paradise prices."

Walk to Hanalei Bay, beachfront & town; w/AC in 3BR House for 6

"Grace is a great host. She went above and beyond to make sure we were safe and comfortable during a difficult time in Hanalei. Would definitely recommend."

Hanalei Bay View Retreat - An Artistic home overlooking Hanalei Bay

10/10 Excellent

"This was a beautiful, unique, and roomy house, full of character. It did not feel like a vacation rental. It was more like a friend with really excellent taste, and the wherewithal to indulge it, had invited us to stay in their home while they were away. The view of sea and mountains from the very comfortable lanai was a daily pleasure. The kitchen had every utensil, dish, pot, pan, and appliance a person could want to make and serve a complex meal. The house was comfortable, and the living area upstairs was especially filled with light. My personal fave may have been the bathroom with a gigantic bright yellow soaking tub overlooking a solid wall of vegetation from gigantic windows. The architecture of the house is unusual and carefully thought out, such that each room has windows on at least two sides, allowing for soft breezes to waft through. And I almost forgot to mention the yoga room, which was simple but lovely. Quirks to be aware of, especially if like us you arrive at night: the house opens onto a courtyard, and there are separate keys for the ground floor rooms (bedrooms, laundry room, and entrance to the stairs up to main living level). We were a little confused at first, but we figured it out! And the house is surrounded by lush nature, so don’t be surprised if a tiny lizard sneaks its way in at some point. Our hostess and house were extremely responsive and kind. Thank you both!"

Just steps to Hanalei Bay. A Peaceful Getaway TVR4188 W31871267

10/10 Excellent

"The home was perfect. 100 meters to the Hanalei beach, and 800 yards to the pier. Walking distance to shops, the fish market, restaurants and the farmers market. Ann was amazing and allowed our family to check in early on arrival. The washer and dryer were large and great for large groups. The Lanai with two seating areas was awesome. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had a great island and bar so the kids were served while seating. Totally would stay here again."

Tree Top Suite- Beautiful walk to Hanalei Bay

10/10 Excellent
