We could not have been happier in this beautiful home right by the pier at Hanalei Bay. It had everything we needed and more. The location was perfect. We will definitely be back and we’ll recommend this property to all our friends and family.

It is unfortunate that the storm took out the main house, that must have been devastating. But, what a lucky break for us!! My husband and I have been to Hanalei many times since we have family in Princeville and Steps to the Sand is our favorite spot so far. Being right next to the pier you would think it would feel busy, but once you're behind the gate, you have no idea what's going on in the outside world, it's just you and the view.
The apartment was beautiful and comfortable. It was extremely well-appointed with high-end linens and quality furniture. It's obvious the owners care about their visitor experience, I felt like I actually one of their houseguests.
The location was amazing - the morning beach walks, the afternoon surf sessions, the evening sunsets, and just a few minutes from the Mai Tais. We are already planning our next trip!
Thank you for having us.

Our second time at this property. Love the location an accommodations. Perfect place to walk on the beach, enjoy some gentle surfing, and stroll into hanalei for a bite. This property is paradise.

Beachfront near Hanalei pier, one could not ask ask for a better location. Beautifully decorated. Comfortable beds. Super clean. Very responsive properly manager. The freezer was not working well, and the window hardware in the master bedroom was broken which made closing it quite difficult. Would have rated 5/5 if not for these. Wish we could have stayed longer, definitely would rent again!

This property was amazing in so many ways it's difficult to single out just a few to mention. The location simply can't be overstated. The nightly sunset views from the porch were simple phenomenal! Having access to the Hanalei Bay beach and pier by walking right out of the yard was soo good. Lastly, it's an easy walk to the restaurants and bars in Hanalei which was super nice. To sum it up, I think this place has ruined me for any future trip to Kauai. Now I can't imagine staying anywhere else!

Small enough cottage for 4 of us. So many other beach cottages with direct access to the sand at the bay are too big and need to share with others.
This was about 1000 square feet, but with a huge yard for the kids to run and play and look for frogs at night. Can’t beat the views. Amazing.
Outdoor shower was our go-to every day from the beach. Perfect. With warm and cold water. And shampoo , body wash, etc to use outdoors. The outdoor shower Felt like a waterfall. Awesome.
And a must is walking to “the Nui” for dinner, just like in the movie “The Descendants”… great food. And awesome live entertainment.
Overall, if you’re looking at spending $1500/ night at the new hotel that just opened in Princeville/Hanalei, this is much better bang for your buck. And the newer construction of this home is an advantage. AC worked great in Every Room! Kitchen with SubZero appliances. Top of the line chef’s stove.

Perfect spot for an amazing family beach vacation. The property manager / owner was great with communication, instructions, and area recommendations. The house itself is awesome, and couple that with the view, & proximity to the beach...it doesn't get much better than this place. The whole family loved it!!!! 5 stars really isn't enough!!!

Absolutely would stay here again. It was a small property, but had everything we needed and the location can't be beat. The property manager was very helpful and ensured our needs were met as well. We loved the big yard and appreciated the various amenities: grill, bikes, beach equipment, outdoor rinse, etc.
My constructive criticisms are minor and wouldn't prohibit me from staying again:
- Ice maker: it barely worked. We wanted to pack coolers for the beach or make drinks at home and it was a struggle to get any ice from it - even at max production.
- Ants: it's a beach, I get it. Maybe nothing can be done about it, but they were quite the nuisance. We cleaned meticulously after meals to ensure there were no crumbs behind but they still were present throughout the residence: kitchen, couches, bathrooms.
- Entry Door: would have liked a wooden pole to further restrict the sliding glass door from opening. Had a young child with us and made me nervous he could exit so easily.
Again, loved the property and only trying to provide feedback to make future stays even better.

We loved our stay in this lovely cottage.
It’s modern, spotlessly clean and has the best view in Hanalei.
Waking up to the birds, the huge garden snails and the Geko’s were a highlight.
It’s right by the pier for picture perfect sunrise and sunset.

Located in the prime spot on the bay near the pier and safe swimming/boarding/ surfing for kids, this is an absolute find.
The outdoor shower and linens are absolutely great and despite its small size, the house had everything we needed and felt luxurious all around.

Great cozy place. Perfect for our family of four. Only things lacking were some useable skillets/pots/pans and sharp knives. Also not much in the way of basic spices. Other than that wonderful place. We will definitely be back!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the property. The location can't be beat - waking up every day to the sunrise over the beach is hard to top. The unit is updated and modern, and all appliances/features are modern and well maintained. The balcony, though small, was enough for 4 of us to sit out in chairs at night. The landscaping and property management was beautiful. Overall I would highly recommend this property. They should post more pictures on VRBO so everyone can see the beauty of the space.
