It was pretty perfect.On past visits we have stayed closer to Pavilions than Pine Trees, and this was much better, with less traffic and a short stroll to an uncrowded beach. the cottage was well ticked with all essentials,, boogie boards, beach chairs, snorkels, etc.A beach umbrella might have been nice, too. The kitchen had everything needed except counter space for food prep. The beds are very good. Neighbors were never noisy. Our favorite dinner out was at Barracuda. Great food.

We lovingly referred to this rental as our family surf shack for the week. My partner and I worked remotely during our stay which worked out perfectly because during down hours we could easily walk to and from the beach. Hanalei is such a gem and was a perfect surf and boogie board spot for our family.

We have stayed at Malolo Cottage and it is perfect for two. My husband walks to the beach every morning with his surfboard and a cup of coffee. The location cannot be beat. I shared this little gem with my parents who now visit Malolo Cottage yearly.

We loved our time here! Home was very clean and well maintained, location was perfect! Two blocks from Hanalei town and about the same distance to the beach. Quiet neighborhood, great views of mountains . Well stocked kitchen, adequate linens, comfortable beds!
Would definitely stay here again, thanks!!

Reviewer Comments:
we have stayed at Malolo a few times, always great.Very clean and stocked well with supplies that matter e.g. coffee filters. So convenient by bicycle to both ends of Hanalei Beach. As good as one might expect for a couple who chooses to avoid hotel scenes and the people drawn to that option.There are only two things that we can mention needing any attention: the Weber has no top and the blinds on back wall over bed do not easily come down if lifted to access the window mechanism. The team of Hali and Joan were excellent as management hosts. If you are considering this property and are 2 people or 2 with small child do not hesitate to book (always in June-Aug so we can have a chance to return in our preferred months).

Our visit to Malolo cottage was nothing short of outstanding – Jane and her crew at Na Pali properties here in Hanalei, Make you feel right at home!And the ease of checking in and checking out was unparalleled – Hanalei itself is a magnificent place to visit; laid-back with a great vibe. Hope to come year after year. Aloha!!

Cottage pretty much as expected but inside shower is really small stall. Great for a couple; would not want to stay there with more adults. The covered patio is really nice, views of mountains to west. Nice to be able to park right outside the door. Very quiet neighborhood. Beach access is too far to walk carrying chairs and stuff. Management company was responsive and helpful.

This cottage was charming and beautifully located. We felt like we were staying in a cabin, but instead of a cabin by a lake (we are from Minnesota) it was a cabin by the ocean! This was our favorite place to stay by far. Cottage had all the necessities and then some:). We will be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Malolo Cottage. I'm tempted not to write a review so as to keep it a secret ;)From the short walk to downtown Hanalei, to the great view of the mountains - with waterfalls - to the short jaunt to the beach, it was wonderful!Thank you Napali Properties.

The Malolo cottage is a wonderful place to stay when you visit Hanalei. It’s a clean, convenient base of operations for our week in Hanalei. You can walk to town or the beach and the cottage has everything you need for a relaxed stay in paradise.

quiet part of Hanalei, 100 yards to the stores. The owner lives closeby and maintains the property very nicely. It has a great yard with views of the waterfalls. Great kitchen for small cottage. well outfitted. If you have not been to Hawaii, you save a fortune cooking yourself...I mean a fortune.

Close to town so easy to walk to shops and food. It is a studio with two I believe full size bed side-by-side so we’re perfect for me and my 20 year old daughter to stay out together. There is a full kitchen. Close to the ocean as well although a bit of a walk if you are caring Surf Boards

Malolo Cottage was clean, simple, adequate. The location was very convenient to either the beach or town. The view of the mountains was beautiful. The outdoor shower is a good substitute for the inside shower which is a bit small, the outside washer dryer are new and clean. The cottage is basically one room and a bathroom, the decor is dated and minimal. but clean, comfortable and cozy, The kitchen is fine for basic breakfast/lunch or simple dinner prep. The neighborhood was quiet, but only one other house was occupied while we were there. We spent 10 happy days, content at Malolo Cottage.

We loved staying in Malolo Cottage! We're big fans of Hanalei, and even though it's obviously gentrifying, we're so grateful that there are still some simple homes there, like in the "old days." I did yoga every night under the stars on the soft lawn. We ate breakfast every morning on the lanai. We went to the beach every day, and used the washer/dryer and the clothes line to keep our clothes clean and dry during our stay. Oh, and did I mention the orange trees in the yard? And of course everything in Hanalei is walking distance. We can't wait to come back. Mahalo for your hospitality!

What you see is what you get, in a good way. Simple, but comfortable house in a great location close to the beach and town. We (a couple) had a great 5 day stay. While not ultra-luxurious, the house was spotless. We only made breakfast and drinks, but found everything we needed in the kitchen. Couch and bed were comfortable. We were there in warm Sept. and never needed AC. Overall, would recommend!!

I would rent this property again. Right in the middle of Hanaleii bay. Walking distance to Hanaleii Bay town, and the beaches of Hanaleii. Outside showers (hot and cold water). It gets a little warm inside the house during the hottest times of the day. The inside design of the stay is a studio type. Bathroom is private.

My partner and I just got back from a 10 day stay at this perfect little spot in Hanalei. We spent the mornings outside with our books and coffee enjoying the dewy ground, birds, geckos and incredible view of the mountains. Swam in the ocean multiple times a day. Walked to dinner. It couldn't have been better. It's so close to everything. It's hard to pass up. I would definitely recommend this spot.

Everything about the house was perfect and our great experience with the Property Management Company ...Napali Properties. Went the extra Mile to help us. Like they were friends not business people.The beach is close ... 2 blocks away. .. Close to town. Great bakery... Health food store. You can shop in Princeville or Kapa'a or even Lihue.

This cottage gave my teenage son and I a great home base to surf hanalei for a week. Easy walk to beach and to town. Kitchen was well equipped and clean; we also took advantage of the mini Weber charcoal grill to make steaks. The Outdoor shower had piping hot water, perfect way to clean off after being in the ocean. I loved having the roosters help me wake up in the morning; my son slept right through them. Living room was very comfortable, and we mostly sat outside to eat our meals. Would highly recommend for a small group not looking for a 5 star resort experience.

As the pictures show, this is not a luxury vacation rental. However, the location cannot be beat. It is a 5 minute walk to the beach and to the shops and restaurants of Hanalei. The cottage was clean, quiet, and very comfortable. NaPali Properties has not returned my deposit after 35 days. I left the cottage clean, and the towels I used were drying in the dryer when I departed at 8:30am.
