Keone is the downstairs of a beach house duplex. There are two bedrooms, one bath, a kitchen, dining area and living room. There is a good sized covered lanai and great ocean views from the living room and the lanai. Just step off the lanai onto the grass & walk to the beach in front. Standard occupancy is 4.

Keone, the downstairs beach house, is great for easy access. No steps between your bed and the sand! It has a cool relaxed feel. In fact, Keone means the sand or sands in Hawaiian. Hanalei town with its and restaurants & stores are only about 4 - 5 blocks away.

There is a King in the first bedroom with a flatscreen. Twins in the second bedroom for the kids or single friends. If you are two couples, the twins can be made up as a King. There is an ottoman that becomes a twin bed in the living room for younger folk. (Listed rate is for the standard occupancy of 4, but home can accommodate up to 5. Extra guest fee beyond four is $20/night + tax per person. This fee is collected after booking. Only 1 extra person is allowed.)

Your lanai is a great spot for lounging, lunch, or anytime. Some of our guests get a pretty cloth & cover the picnic table on the grass in front of the lanai for dinner and set a bunch of flowers on it. With others the lanai is home to sand toys and surf boards.

Just walk past the palms & ironwoods to the sand. If you've has enough sun, but not enough beach, under the trees is where you will be. Great place for reading or Scrabble. There are beach chairs for your use.

There is a combined tub shower as well an outdoor hot & cold shower on the wash house.

Not all of vacation life is with out some slight toil. If you need to wash clothes, there are 2 sets of coin op washer & dryer in a cute little building just steps away.

You never know what you will see on the beach. Many people come here to get married, renew vows, celebrate anniversaries, birthdays, even to get baptized! Canoe races, surfers, kite surfers, fishermen, volleyball players. Even with all this activity, most people experience the beach with fewer people on it than they could have dreamed. If you want action go out to the beach and head right. If you want space, go left toward the river mouth.

If you are our guests at Keone, you will enjoy, sun, rain, surf, rainbows, and a great little town set in a fabulously beautiful location.

We had a wonderful time at this house. It's perfect for a family with 2 small kids - they were able to run to the beach in the morning in their pajamas! The house itself is very clean and comfortable.

This property may not be for everyone, but we loved it! It was quiet, close to downtown Hanalei and the beach out front is perfect for boogie boarding. You can also walk the entire length of Hanalei Bay. The property had all the necessary things for a great stay, beach chairs, boogie boards, umbrella and beach towels. With not much ambient light, the stars at night were amazing! The only reason I gave it a 4 overall rating is that it is a little dated, but for those who just want to kick back and relax, this is the perfect place!

Location is amazon, convenient to town and right on the beach. House isn't fancy but has everything you need.

Enjoyed our stay in Hanalei. Beautiful lawn area and of course the beach was lovely. The property was very clean and efficient. We rented some bikes and took nice rides around the area and to town!

We had a great, relaxing vacation in Kauai. The home has all the essentials we needed for cooking meals. The owner was extremely quick to respond to a burnt out light bulb request and we had a new bulb within a few hours. Everything was very clean when we arrived and the location has beautiful grounds with easy access to the beach / Hanalei Bay.

We adored our stay here! With active kids, it couldn’t be better. We came and went to the beach as much as we wanted, and also used the huge, wide open yard a ton. Comfortable beds also. The house has everything you need! We will be back!

The location of the property is unsurpassable - steps to the beach, plenty of space to play, close to town and farmer's markets and other beaches. The house was well furnished and even without AC the breeze through the windows kept us cool at night. The lanai was the perfect place for meals and relaxing with a book. The yard was wonderful for playing soccer or stargazing at night.

The property is older and could use a refurbishing. Tiles in the bathroom could be replaced. You need to know that there is no air conditioning which is quite common on Hanalei, but I would prefer to have some. There are plenty of fans though, and windows the open easily. The location is great with an easy walk across the yard to the beach. It is a large lot with 3 other houses on it, so if they are filled with a lot of people your privacy is not ideal. Overall, if location is most important this will work, but it is not luxurious.

We had an amazing time at Suzanne’s Hanalei home! It’s proximity to the beach and the main st was just perfect for our family of 4. We can’t wait to book our next visit!

This property was perfect for us. Clean and simple on the inside, and had everything we needed to cook at home when we didn't feel like going out. Beds were comfy, lawn was great for playing, beach was right there. We had bikes and surfboards delivered to the house. One of the best family vacations we've ever had!

Simple house but amazing location. Beds were comfortable, house was clean, and plenty of towels/linens available.

Word’s can’t really describe our wonderful time. What a beautiful spot in an amazing location. This was our second time to this specific location previously staying in a stand alone bungalow right next door. Same owner and same quality experience. The only thing that could have been better would have been to book more time here. Mahalo.

Lovely ocean view from the house and a very short lawn stroll to the uncrowded beach. Simple house with all you need. We were a couple and 2 single young adults. Would be even better with a second bathroom, but the house worked well for us. Love that it’s just an easy bike ride to town for shops and restaurants. We will be back :)

This property was exactly as advertised - which means perfect for us. It's not fancy or posh, but it's perfect for a beach house: clean, all the amenities, a short walk to the beach, and the sound of the waves lulling you to sleep. All the communications with the property manager were prompt and friendly. They even sent someone over to fix the safe when we noticed a problem with it. My boys (surfers) loved this place too - and I hope we may all be able to return soon.

We loved staying here! Great views to Hanalei Bay. We could sit and watch the waves from the lanai and inside the place. Great location to town, very clean place. We would love to come back again in the future!

We enjoyed a relaxing week in this property. It was right on the water. With a nice grass area in front. We used the charcoal bbq. The kids played with the beach toys on the side of the house. We also played board games and watched TV.

It was lovely to reconnect with family in such a beautiful home and place. When we come back, we plan to stay with the Kobayashi Ohana.

We loved how close to town the house was. The beach just a short stroll across the beautiful lawn. The beach is gorgeous and wasn’t crowed. At the airport and am already planning our next trip back to the green north shore.

Went for a family vacation with my kids and had a magical time. Hanalei is a magical place and this rental gave me the nostalgic experience of what beach rentals were like in my day. House is perfectly situated right on the beach but with an amazing lawn in between to enjoy yard games and a little privacy. Close to town and east to get everywhere. Truly a special place, I can’t recommend strong enough.

What can I say. It's my favorite place on earth. Another great stay at a beautiful property! Thank you Suzanne!!

The location alone makes this place worth it - you're right on the beach, walking distance or a 2-min drive to the commercial strip in Hanalei. Plus it's stocked it with everything you need for the beach! The hosts are also very communicative and helpful if you have any issues at all.

The location is superb! I suspected that would be the case from the pictures, but the reality did not disappoint. What I didn’t expect is that it would be so sparkling clean! We had a great time and everything was beyond expectations.
