Incredible location on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world a house with beautifully appointed gorgeous wood floors. lots of screened windows with fantastic views The kitchen was small, but perfect for what we needed absolutely loved the outdoor shower. The upstairs master suite bedroom was incredible. The views from the upstairs lanai at sunrise and sunset were spectacular. We enjoyed sitting out there every night after dinner and just enjoying the sound of the waves. The house is next to the beach parking lot but we really didn’t notice too much noise the master bathroom is fantastic with a soaking tub and a wonderful large shower , both the shower and tub have amazing views of Hanalei Bay Nathan, and Nanci were great hosts, and extremely helpful this house has such a perfect location close to Hanelei Town and right on Hanalei Bay Beach we enjoyed our time here so much that we are planning to return and we will definitely be booking this property again

Our family of four returned to Hanalei Bay not having been there in 12 years, and we were not disappointed. This guest house sits in an amazing location, just steps from what we consider the best beach on Kauai. The home is very comfortable and had enough room for our family. The Lanai upstairs is an amazing space for two to sit and enjoy the view of Hanalei Bay, the ocean, and the mountains. The home is also the closest rental to the Hanalei Pier, parking lot, and the canoe club, which bustles with activity from a lot of locals - which for our family made it feel like we were integrating with the local folks more so than you would at a big resort. There was a little noise but it wasn't a problem for us. The interior of the home was nicely appointed, the upstairs bedroom and bathroom were very nice and comfortable. The lower level was the same, with a small but functional kitchen. The AC upstairs works great but we only used it once during our stay, it really wasn't too hot while we were there with Hanalei's intermittent showers. We had a plumbing issue and the hosts responded quickly to resolve it. Highly recommended!!

What a fantastic location!!! Views and access to the beach were perfect. Could walk into Hanalei town or a very quick drive. Saw several rainbows from the beach - it was magical. Met the owners and they were very kind and repeatedly offered their assistance with anything. AC was welcome and needed on the second floor so we were very thankful for that unit. Views off the upper deck are better than shown. House had everything we needed. Hope to come back here some day! Mahalo!

Overall our experience was great!
Pros: house was on Hanalei beach, which is one of the most beautiful beaches in Kauai.
Owner lives in house in front should there be an urgent need/difficult issue.
A/C in one bedroom.
Kitchen has everything one needs.
Sunset view from master balcony
Cons: The home is smaller than expected except for master bedroom which is ample. There is A/C in master bedroom, but not in downstairs areas-which for price of rental is a negative. I missed that detail in specs of listing.
Updates are needed for price of rental: Master shower has difficulty draining water and 2 inch pool of water was regular experience. Dryer has issues and spent hours trying to dry clothes. Beds in second bedroom have very uncomfortable mattresses (could use topper or new mattresses)
These cons would not be relevant if price was not 1K a night. Family also rented 2 other properties in area around 400 a night with one of these disadvantages (but only one). Def one pays for location-but also there is a public parking lot 30 feet from house.

This is a beautifully designed guest house; small but great for our family of 2 adults and 2 children. Can't imagine a more idyllic location in Hanalei. Thank you Nathan and Nanci.

It was relaxing, but not peaceful. It is right near a road that leads to the park and beach next door. It means there is a tremendous amount of car and foot traffic pretty much all day long and then at nite you always have the few that just do not want to go home when the park is closed.

Great rental home in popular Hanalei. The house is on the beach (just behind the main house), steps from one of the most beautiful places in the world. Everything you need is available for an easy and relaxing vacation and the home was spotless and well maintained. The hosts were very accessible, friendly and helpful. If you love Hanalei and want easy access to the beach and town without having to drive, this place is perfect!

We had an excellent stay at the Beach House! It had everything we needed from towels, beach chairs, an umbrella and boogie boards. We rented paddle boards and walked to Hanalei River to paddle with the sea turtles. The house was cozy and comfortable with a view of the ocean. Beds were comfortable, kitchen very functional, and it has a great outdoor shower. Walking along Hanalei Bay straight from the house was the ultimate! Thank you.

There is no better location than this beach house. It is a gem on the best beach in Kauai. You don't have to cross the street. The beach is right there.
I was at first concerned about our views being blocked with the main house (where the owners live) in front. But honestly you get great views everywhere. Even from the bathroom.
There were so many cute and convenient details that aren't even on the listing description but brought us a lot of enjoyment. For example:
1. Outdoor shower (we used this every day)
2. A foot wash faucet before entering the home.
3. Every beach toy you could need is stored on the first level (entitled "beach toys"). Includes umbrellas, sand castle building materials, mats, chairs, boogie boards, flotation devices. [Nathan , we donated 2 new boogie boards!]
4. The master bedroom is an absolute oasis with the most spectacular views.
5. The Italian stucco (very smooth) interior walls and the Italian windows/shutters gave the whole place an up-leveled vibe.
6. Even things like the clothing line in the shower and different kinds of coffee makers (regular drip and Kurig) was a nice touch.
But it wasn't overly curated. It felt like a home, not a museum.
And for the previous review that said the noise from parties outside was distracting... all that is gone since they took that parking lot away. There is now a grassy area next to the home that makes it lovely to walk onto as you're going to the beach.
They did a major remodel of the home and surrounding property in 2018 and it shows.
Finally, Hanalei Bay is THE location for photographers to take sunset pictures. It's hard to put into words how truly magical and beautiful this location really is. If you can swing it, get this house.

The location of this house is wonderful! The pier, great surf waves, and the river are steps or a short paddle away. There was occasional noise from the park next door, but sleeping to the sounds of the waves makes up for it. The house is small but beautiful and the master suite upstairs is lovely! Nathan and Nanci were great host and very helpful.
