We had such a lovely time in Hanalei, it’s difficult to describe. The house is perfectly located within a three minute slow walk to town or a five minute slow walk to the beach. If we didn’t have to attend an event in Princeville, we would have never moved our car.Being just the two of us, the house had plenty of space. We love the outdoor deck in the back and sat there many mornings. The house feels very roomy, and I love the huge shower in the master bathroom.It’s an extremely relaxing environment, and I enjoyed hearing all the different birds wake up with the morning sun.Alicia is so very kind, even when I had a rather silly question for her.We cannot wait to return and hopefully that time will come very soon.

A great location. Unfortunately,the heat and humidity were almost unbearable inside the house. The skylight in the MBR bath didn't help. No closet in 2nd bedroom was unfortunate. Kitchen was not well appointed.

We had a nice time at this rental in Hanalei Bay. We stayed with our two children and one baby and we were comfortable. We rented items from Babylicious (Kauai baby rental company) for kid and baby related items. The steep stairs right outside the front door made us nervous and we had to keep the front door closed at all times so our baby wouldn't fall down those stairs. There is not AC, although with fans blasting and windows open we were comfortable. We enjoyed staying on a quiet street where we felt like we were locals. Easy walk to the beach and the main area in the town for dining and shopping.

We loved out stay at Hale Tahati in Hanalei. It was the perfect location in all ways and the perfect house for two of us. Will look forward to another stay here in the future.

We have booked through KVR for the last 30 years, this year we needed a smaller house. The location was exquisite, quiet and close to the beach. The beds were comfortable and the large fans will be useful in the summer. This location was the least supplied of all the other times we have rented, few older towels for shower, sparse mismatch decor and kitchen outdated and not enough cookware to make cooking at home an option which is a reason that we rent a home. Only one set of dishes required cleaning after every meal. Scratched teflon cooking pan feels unhealthy and no baking sheet made things challenging. It was very quiet at night and the neighbors are nice. The smaller bedroom did not have a closet to store or hang anything. The noisy construction in the early morning was disappointing. Kauai is heavenly and we spend most of our times outside and we have stayed at some fantastic places that felt like home. KVR makes the process easy and we will continue to work with them.

Lovely home in the heart of Hanalei. The interior is decorated with an authentic Hawaiian vibe. They layout is very nice, large kitchen and cozy living room with A frame ceiling. The outer porches attached to each of the rooms are very nice. The only drawback is this house is in a quite local culdesac and the sound from the house echoes outside. We were having a lovely family dinner on a Saturday night with our family (8 of us around the kitchen table) and a neighbor came up to our door very upset about the noise and was very rude. It was not late in the evening so definitely made us a little paranoid about our noise level for the remaining of our stay. I get the sense the neighbors do not like this house being a VRBO rental.

We love Kauai and Hanalei is our favorite spot in Kauai. Staying in a house, instead of a hotel was the perfect solution for us to enjoy our time with our adult kids. The proximity of the property to the beach and all the shops in Hanalei was a great plus.

The cottage was a great place for my family to stay for a week in Hanalei. Once we parked at the house, we didn't use our house again; we walked to the beach and walked to town. It's a great central location that's quiet.

Dishwasher doesn’t work. Outdoor shower is not private and the neighbors are always out working in their yard. Not the best experience to be on display for your neighbors. Safety issue for young children in the yard. Cockroaches found a number times in the kitchen. Floors felts dirty. Shower curtain falls when you want to shower inside. First bedroom is very hot. SUPPLY MORE FANS.

We loved this rental! The kitchen is very well equipped, the bed is very comfortable, the living room is great to hang out in. The place was clean and had all the beach toys we needed.
The location is perfect! It's almost exactly half way between 'town' and the beach. It's an easy to both.
Hanalei is a great town! The beach is amazing and we loved the creative food trucks. Make sure to visit Holey Grail Donuts!
We found the staff at Kauai vacations very responsive, friendly and helpful.

The house was wonderful: beds comfortable, showers great, kitchen very functional though we didn't do much cooking. Really appreciated the goodies- coffee etc. for our first day/evening. Ceiling fans could be improved upon...not very powerful. Overall wonderful house. We would come back. Location can't be beat for town and beach access.

The location is perfect, nestled just far enough away from the town and main road that it’s quiet, but everything (including the beach) is a couple minute walk away. The vegetation surrounding the house gives privacy from the neighbors. The pictures do not do fully capture how spacious the interior is, and the Hosts at the rental agency provide virtually everything you’ll need there! It gave us the perfect home for our honeymoon, and we cannot recommend it enough!

This house is on a wonderfully quiet street ( note: Hanalei, perhaps all Kauai, has early wake-up calls from stunning but vocal resident- roosters, so bring earplugs!) and completely surrounded by beautiful vegetation & birdsong . Some previous guest’s complaint about no privacy is perplexing. You can ( and should?) strip down all your wet, sandy clothesline at front door, which is EXTREMELY private; master bathroom has frosted glass and no one can see into master bedroom. Second bedroom has a lanai with no curtains but house across street is at angle and far away. Wonderful, screened in lanais are great for sipping cocktails and pupus, but no real outside eating area other than street side picnic table, tho kitchen table is convenient, large and pleasant view. We noticed, at least this time of year mid-May, master bedroom and especially master bathroom much warmer (10°-15° degrees) than spare bedroom ( 2 twin beds) and bath, so give that room to the cold-blooded of you. Overall a wonderful experience and would happily return in the future. PS two photos on website aren’t current & slightly confusing with remodel of house: spare bedroom has no closet and 2 twin beds and master bathroom doesn’t have step up jacuzzi, but a nicer, low rise step into very nice shower.

We felt at home in this house. The house felt very cozy with everything we needed, and we spent hours at the kitchen table soaking the stunning view of the mountains in the background. The location is perfect! Quiet neighborhood, walking distance to the beautiful Hanaleilei beach and to the cute stores and places to eat. We want to come back every year!

We had a fantastic week. The house was so classy and beautiful! The only problem was that the Highway was closed for most of the weekdays... only opened at certain times to leave the Northside and go to other island locations. I wish we would’ve known this because it had a big effect on our plans. Otherwise, everything was perfect!!

We had the best time staying at this rental house. The location can’t be beat, 5min from the beach, 2min from Hanalei Center, in a cute little street. Very quiet and peaceful, we loved making our own meals in the kitchen with the incredible views of the mountains. Beds are a bit hard and kitchen could use more condiments than salt and pepper. We will definitely remember this place and keep it in mind when we come back! Sad to leave but grateful to have stayed there a wonderful week!
