We loved this rental. The location was great, and it was a very easy walk to the beach. The kitchen was well stocked and there were plenty of places to hang out in the house. Highly recommend.

first and foremost ann is totally an amazing host. the few things we had questions on - she responded right away. second the property is well maintained and totally stocked with just about anything you could ask for - especially in the kitchen - if it isnt in ann's kitchen more than likely they dont make it. as others have said its like 2 blocks from one of the most gorgeous beaches anywhere, and there is shopping and dining within a 8-10 minute walk. where as in alot of other places in kauai you have to drive for anything and everything. Hanalei Bay is a perfect hawaiin vacation. the only drawback to the north shore area is its a drive to get to anywhere else on the island. but the house is your perfect hawaiin getaway. especially after a weather front moves thru - 2 blocks away and we could hear the waves crashing all night as we slept.

This house is amazing and had such a great stay. The location is perfect and we were able to walk to the beach and local restaurants. The house itself is kept in very good condition and has all the things needed for a great stay including beach items like chairs and umbrellas and boogie boards. There were fresh linens and plenty of sleeping supplies. We had a large group and I researched many houses in Hanalei and for the price point and comparable houses this is the best deal you can find on any website. Also the host is fantastic and easy to reach, checkin and checkout was simple. Overall 5/5 and would recommend, just book it!

We had a wonderful stay at Ann’s home. The house was perfect for 4 adults and 2 children. Great location with a 5 minute walk to the beach or the shops and restaurants. The kitchen is well stocked and there is plenty of beach gear. The covered lanai was where we spent most of our time at the house and it was perfect for enjoying some rainstorms. Highly recommended!

I couldn't say enough about how much we loved our stay. Beyond being in a great spot to take short walks to the beach or into town, our group (adults and teenagers) really were impressed. The kitchen was stocked with everything you would need, including a stand-alone ice-maker! The back lanai was a natural gravitation point for our evening get-togethers, and Ann has her guests well taken care of when it comes to overall comfort, with comfortable beds and more than enough fans to keep the air flowing nicely. If you're looking for a very relaxing, chill vacation in a scenic beach town, you've come to the right place!

Our stay in Hanalei was nothing short of amazing. The property was perfect for a quiet beach vaxarion, conveniently located near the beach as well as shops and restaurants, and check in and out were a breeze. Mahalo to Ann for being such a fantastic host!

I highly recommend Ann’s beautiful home in Hanalei Bay. It was the perfect location! A short walk (a couple minutes) to the beach or into town. No need to drive or look for that parking spot!
We’ve been to Kauai with the family a few times and by far Hanalei Bay is my favorite place to be. Nothing is more beautiful so I was so happy to find Ann’s home available when we wanted to go!
The home is situated on a very quiet street surrounded by lush tropical foliage. So many birds! I loved waking up to sketch or read on her wrap around lanai!
The kitchen is stocked with great spices and basic ingredients (coffee/sugar/olive oil, etc) which made cooking super easy as we didn’t have to go buy all the extra things!
Also boogie boards, snorkel gear, chairs, and umbrellas are there to use, which makes a day at the beach so easy and fun!
Ann is a super receptive host and whenever I asked her a question she would respond within minutes!
We can’t wait go back there again!

The house was a great spot for our family vacation. We stayed with 6 adults and two kids under two. It had everything we needed and even great stuff for the toddlers. Easy walk to the beach and a wagon for the kids to ride in. Great big kitchen for homemade meals. Loved the outdoor shower for after the beach. Ann is super nice and took care of everything we needed. Would definitely stay again!

This home was perfect for our stay. The kitchen was so well stocked. We loved using the ninja blender for Island fresh smoothies in the morning. The layout worked well for our group and the location is ideal. Nothing beats being able to walk to Hanalei bay. We loved using the outdoor shower. Ann was so accommodating, great communication.

We had a great stay in Hanalei! The house was very comfortable, with a large and well-stocked kitchen and great outdoor space on the lanai. It was also great to be able to walk to the beach! I would happily visit again.

The property was clean and as described. I have to add there are several boogie boards, and some fins, one playmate type lunch box and a wagon. We did use the boogie boards and fins. The lanai was wonderful and we spent most mornings on the lanai together drinking coffee. There were plenty of seats for all. The other thing that was very nice is the condiments and mustard, ketchup, salt, pepper, flour, coffee, etc., that is furnished and left behind by other folks it was very helpful and kind (also saves on waste). (fortunately, we were able to leave stuff behind, too, as we used other items left by folks.) The house is very comfortable. I will reach out to the owner as a think a few of her frying pans have been damaged over time and in need of replacement. Also, there is a several games and puzzles, which was fun. All was great, and would definitely look to stay again in the future. 👍

This home was perfect for our vacation and the owner was really good to work with. We loved the open floor plan and the patio deck where we spent a lot of our time watching the waterfalls when it rained. We walked to the beach and the town center (close to everything). The home was clean and came as advertised. We would come back in a heartbeat.

This is not the first time we have stayed in this lovely home. Having had such a great stay on our last visit, we booked again to celebrate my birthday. I love that Hanalei Town and Pavilions Beach are just a short walk away. I also love that we can spread out on the lanai and read, play cards/games or just rest after a day out. The entire home is comfortable and our host Ann is easy to contact should you need anything.

Location was good, 5 minute walk to Hanalei beach, 10 minutes to town. Had good beach supplies, wagon was really helpful, sand toys, boogie boards, chairs, etc. Had snorkeling gear, but figure most will rent in town, since that's pretty cheap to do. Contacted Ann with question and she called me back in less than five minutes. Kids had fun on wrap around porch. Thought yard would be better, so kids could play in it. Really liked the outdoor shower, I looked forward to it each day. Wish it were cooler in the house. Porch to side of kitchen was always cool, wish beds were out there. Kitchen is nice, everything we needed was provided. Washer and dryer are always a bonus. Wish there were a little more room to socialize downstairs. Kids would go upstairs, but with a little one under two, we constantly had to beware of steps. Plenty of games to choose from. Would consider staying again, although no refund policy might discourage us, as we intend to book next year's visit soon and making plans a year in advance is always a little tricky.

We loved this property. The house had everything we needed, with a beautiful kitchen and a fantastic lanai. Quiet neighborhood and a short walk to Hanalai Bay where we swam and saw fantastic sunsets and into town where we found some great restaurants and shopping. The hosts provided so much helpful information about the house and the area. Some in our group struggled with the lack of air conditioning in the house - even with the abundance of fans that were provided and the breeze, it was sometimes uncomfortably hot for a few of us. But overall, I would highly recommend this wonderful house if you're going to be in the Hanalai Bay area.

The house was spacious and the wrap-around porch provided tons of outdoor space even when it was pouring rain. The kitchen was very well stocked with pots&pans, cutlery, and other appliances including the best little ice maker in the world.
Despite being almost surrounded be neighbors the house felt very private even out on the porch. The Hanalei strip is a 5-10 min walk and you can be on the beach in 2 mins. Sunsets on the beach, sunrise lighting up the cascades on Mt. Waialeale - we can't wait to come back!

The five of us (two couples and one teen) loved our stay in Hanalei. We had plenty of space to spread out and especially enjoyed the outdoor lanai. The kitchen was well appointed and the grill was clean and ready to use. It was rainy but the house is designed perfectly to keep you dry even on the lanais in a downpour (we would would know!). We learned that roosters start crowing hours before sunrise, part of the charm of Hanalei, bring ear plugs if this will bother you. The loft area is not full height so we did not really use that space. We walked from the house to town, beach and the pier. Found this location more convenient for accessing stores/restaurants than our later stay in Poipu.

We liked the open floor plan and the spacious lanais. There was plenty of room for six of us. The house is in a great location, just a couple of block to walk to the beach or to Hanalei shops. The host, Ann, was extremely accommodating, helpful, and easy to reach. Unfortunately it was pretty rainy during our stay, but I can't hold that against the house or the host. Luckily there is a carport and spacious lanais all around!

This property was perfect for our family with ages ranging from one to sixty. It's tucked back off the busiest streets but centrally located for walking to all beaches, restaurants and shops. The house has several spacious common areas for games and gathering. We spent two days on the Kalalau Trail which was easy to get to using the park and ride service located in right in the bay. Ann was a fantastic host and so helpful. The days we spent here were the best part of our trip. We can't wait to come back!

We were so fortunate to be able to reserve and stay in this wonderful Holloway property. If you’re familiar with Hanalei Bay they’re only limited options close to the beach . Ann‘s property is easy walking distance to the spectacular beach as well as to town. The house itself is large extremely private and quiet with a big wraparound lanai, fully stocked and functional kitchen, comfortable beds beach equipment the list goes on and on. If you are extremely heat sensitive keep in mind the place does not have air-conditioning but using the ample fans provided it wasn’t an issue for us. I would feel lucky to stay in this house again. The owners are great people invested in the community rather than the frequent abstentia owners. If you’re looking to stay in Hanalei and the house is available Also reasonably priced considering what you get. Aloha

We live on Kauai, but love to do summer staycations in Hanalei and this is our favorite place to stay! Spacious, well equipped kitchen. Love the back deck outdoor seating area. Tucked back in a very private spot but short walking distance to Hanalei Bay and town.
Beds are comfy. Only 2 baths, but having the wonderful outdoor shower alleviates waiting for your turn in the inside shared bath.
We plan to book this home every summer, Mahalo to Ann!

This was the perfect place for our family vacation of 7 adults. The house is well laid out, clean and freshly decorated , comfortable beds and very well equipped. The location is great and yet we felt very private. I loved the mountain views and tropical foliage. We spent most of our evenings relaxing together on the expansive lanai. Absolutely would return to this is exact rental on future Kauai trips!

We were amazed when we drove up and saw the home! Spacious, wrap around deck, a tropical oasis. The home is lovely and we had all we need to snorkel, sit at the beach and great suggestions of where to go. Quiet and pleasant, it was perfect for our family. We walked to the Village of Hanalei, to the beach and a quick trip to Princeville if we wanted. Highly recommend!

This property was the perfect home for my family to stay at while vacationing in Hanalei for a week for a friends wedding. The house was perfect with plenty of space for everyone, amenities for the beach and perfect views of some of the many Kauai waterfalls from the wrap around porch and lanai! It’s also located in a great location and literally minutes walk to the beach, as well as the Main Street where the bars, restaurants and shops are. We can’t wait to come back and stay again. Thanks for sharing your home with us, Ann and family!

This was a beautiful property in the perfect location. My wife and I and our good friends thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A very nice touch was the bag of Starbuck coffee beans, the beach chairs, boogie boards and oversized beach towels. The day spent on the lanai was a nice break from the beach activities. The neighbors were nice and it's in a great location, close to everything. The weather was great and we loved it. Ann was a great host and very helpful with check in and check out times. Highly recommended!

What a beautiful house with an incredible view and close proximity to the beach and local shops and restaurants. We enjoyed our time out on the deck and inside playing cards. We all now want our own outdoor shower! We had the master bedroom which had a huge double head shower. Our daughter.stayed in the loft and had an incredible view.
We were delighted by the geckos and the well provisioned home. Thank you Ann for our memorable and incredible stay! ❤

This well appointed large home was extremely comfortable, and very well equipped with anything and everything we could have possibly needed, from shampoo and body wash to lovely hand soap in the kitchen. Appreciated the “left behind” spices and condiments. Our only disappointment was our stay was too short, I could have stayed there for a month, if only….
Janine R.

We could not have picked a more perfect place to stay. A few minutes walk to either the beach or downtown from her lovely home made the location very convenient. The lanai was a perfect spot for meals, reading and card games during the afternoon. Ann is a wonderful host. I could not recommend this property more highly.

This house was beautiful and had plenty of space... the loft living area, plus the living room, plus the outdoor living space and additional outdoor seating areas (not to mention KAUAI outside) gave plenty of room to spread out and the kids loved playing hide and seek.

Our stay at Hanalei Palms was even better than I had hoped. The home is spacious, beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. The location is ideal - easy walking distance to quaint Hanalei town and beach access with lifeguards and facilities. We had a group of seven, ranging in age from 12 to 63, and we all had spaces to gather or have quiet time alone. Thank you for sharing your exquisite home with us!

Our family of 5 had an amazing stay here. If you have never been to Hanalei...it's a MUST! The town is the cutest and the beach is the most beautiful beach I have ever seen. This home is in the best location....3 minute walk to the beach and 5 minute walk to the town. The lanai is enormous...a beautiful and peaceful place to eat, drink or just relax. We appreciated having access to beach chairs and boogie boards...it was super convenient and we used them everyday. Ana was very responsive and extremely sweet.
This was our first trip to Kauai...we will definitely be back and will definitely stay here again!
