We had a wonderful stay at the Tiki home! There were 2 families age ranges from 8 months to 8 yrs… the big open floor plan up on top was great for kids to have room to play. All bedrooms were downstairs which is great if you need some separation for naps etc. and house was outfitted with everything you need for the beach which was very convenient. Hanalei is magical and the house worked very well for us!

Our party of seven adults enjoyed the Tiki House from the first minutes of our arrival. We had so much room on the ground floor where the bedrooms, two baths, and the laundry room were. The top floor with its many seating areas, tables and well-equipped kitchen made our relaxing and cooking lots of fun. The views from upstairs complemented Hanalei's natural spenders and watching the birds hovering and landing around the feed was always delightful.We had a great time walking and biking to the beach. Thanks Greg for the beach chairs, bikes and handy beach towels. We found everything we wanted.

The tiki house is a very personally crafted spacious home, with everything you need for your Hanalei stay. The location is ideal, a 5 minute walk to the beach and at the most a 10 minute walk into town. The host was always helpful and responsive. Our family of 6 adults never felt crowded. A well designed kitchen made it a pleasure to prepare meals together. The beds are super comfy.

The property is exactly as advertised. The real treat is observing all the details in the home. The spaces provide a fabulous variety of locations to hang out. It is easy to walk to town and or the Beach.Well outfitted with bikes, wagons, chairs, boogie boards, umbrellas, etc. to enable guests to fully enjoy the beach and local area.

We had such a wonderful thanksgiving vacation at the tiki home with our family! The upstairs is very spacious and was great for the babies to play around. The large windows and open floor plan make it feel like a jungle house. The kitchen was well equipped for making meals. The best part was the bikes and beach equipment making it super easy to bike down to the beach and enjoy!! Also great to be within walking distance of the grocery and restaurants. We will be coming back! Greg was also incredibly kind and responsive!

We were awed by the Tiki house and its unique furnishings. At first we thought....whoa, such a huge space. But, our family of eight settled in comfortably, enjoyed the 5 minute walk to the beach, the beach toys, the cruiser bikes, and all the magic that comes with being in North shore, Kauai. Thanks for sharing this wonderful home.

The location of the house was perfectly situated to walk to the beach or town. Open upstairs level meant our family could spend lots of quality time together. Loved that there were adequate hoses to wash off sandy feet before coming into the house. Lots of beach chairs, coolers, towels, and a wagon to bring it to the beach. Also helpful was water to refill our water bottles. Beds were comfy, fans helped us stay cooler at night. Water pressure was great in the showers. It was a unique experience in a uniquely beautiful home!

There's really no other house in the area like this. Such a unique layout and vibe, and you're fully surrounded by trees and sunlight on the gigantic 2nd floor. Plus you're only a short walk from the beach and town if you don't want to drive. Top of our list for the next time we're back in Hanalei.

Our family of six just stayed at the Tiki Home for seven nights. It was wonderful. There was plenty of space, which allowed us to all spread out. The four bedrooms are all downstairs (with a huge primary bedroom!), and the upstairs is completely open - the kitchen, dining area, and multiple living areas, along with an office area and workout area. I had to work early some mornings, and the layout of the home allowed me to go upstairs and work without disturbing everyone else. No air conditioning, but that was not an issue at all; with the windows open and the many ceiling fans going, it was actually a bit cool in the mornings.
The location was perfect. Easy five-minute walk to the beach or to the supermarket/shops/restaurants.
Communication with the owner and property manager was quick and easy.
We highly recommend!

This house has a very different look to it than most places in hanalei and we really enjoyed the vibe. Very open with high ceilings, and nice views from the big windows.
Greg was very quick to respond when I had questions, and check in was easy.
Great outdoor shower, and lots of beach equipment provided. Solidly located in terms of walking to the beach and into town.
Highly recommend, particularly if you have a bigger group.

This is our 2nd time back the Tiki House. Everything about this place is awesome. Location to town, Hanalei Bay Beach, hiking. We have fallen in love with town. We will definitely be renting again next year.
Communication is great and the place is very clean. They have bikes and tons of beach gear to make the trip extra nice.

We love this house.
Obviously there are critters. Carpenter bees, roaches and some critter in the north west corner of the kitchen island that was leaving a dark dust on the floor. Those concerns are more for the owners because we wouldn’t want anything to destroy this house.
Hope to come back often.

My wife and I stayed here with our parents. This house is unique architecturally and a pure delight. The location is perfect with close, walkable beach access as well as access to shops and restaurants in town. Highly recommend!

The house was larger than expected. We had two kids under three and there were expandable gates for the top of stairs. Bikes were a plus for the small town of Hanalei. The kitchen was well outfitted with quality equipment. The house was warm, but fans helped. We would highly recommend house shoes as a must. Those floors are hard! We throughly enjoyed the stay (and our daily visits from the birds, thanks to the birdseed provided).

A space for everyone in the group. This home was perfect for the whole family to spread out. The bedrooms are on the first floor to allow late sleepers to enjoy extra time while the early risers can make coffee and enjoy listening to all the wild life. The view from the kitchen window is stunning. We loved the use of the bikes to be able to ride down to the beach access or take them to town just a few minutes away. We all fell in love with Hanalei Bay. Communication was great throughout the whole process.

Kauai is our favorite place to be and particularly Hanalei Bay. This property was in a perfect location about a block or two from the beach and a few blocks from the town . Plenty of bikes available makes for a very fun trip. We used the bikes everyday ride to town got shaved ice from our favorite wishing well. This house is incredible ! So much room we were there with 4 of our kids and could have had another family there - if that was allowed.the max guests allowed us 8. My only criticism was the price the -fees , the cleaning and taxes made the house over $1500 per night - it’s just how it is Kauai is expensive ! we splurged on the house and felt very grateful to wake up in that space . The 360 views from the living room windows are amazing !

This house is great. There were seven of us. Accommodated our needs very well. Beautiful place in a prime location. Very quiet setting. Very peaceful. Great deck for outside dining and BBQ. Very short walk to the beach. Only issue was the garbage disposal stopped working a couple days into the week, but we just unplugged it. Hopefully will be up and running for the next guests. Very well organized kitchen other than that. I’d return.

We stayed at the Tiki House for 10 days. It was outstanding. My wife and I brought our children and their significant others, so it was a fairly large group (7 adults). The Tiki House was perfect. There was room for everyone. The upstairs area is huge. It allowed the group to break off into smaller groups and we didn't feel on top of each other. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the property had all the necessary accommodations.
From a location standpoint, it could be better. It is close to the beach, and walking distance to everything in town. We would get up in the morning and walk into town for coffee and breakfast. After a day of touring or hanging out at the beach, we would clean up and walk into town for dinner. This was extremely convenient.
We absolutely loved the property and would return again. Thank you Greg for your prompt response to our questions and being a gracious host!

Appointed for home
Cooked meals as well. We had a magical time at The Tiki Home ✨🌈😎✨
We will be looking forward to our next trip and would definitely want to stay at The Tiki Home again and again!!!

Our grandkids dubbed the upstairs room 'the tree house' as there is nothing to obstruct your view of the trees. This room was large enough for everyone (10 of us) to have our own space. We had people curled up on couches reading, a puzzle going, cooking in the kitchen, and a baby crawling. The table in the center of the room was perfect for our family dinners. Greg has done a lovely job of making the space comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped. We would happily come back to this home!

The Tiki house is a unique experience and the house oozes with love and care. Wow! The beds were super-duper comfy and had good beddding and the kitchen well stocked (could use a couple more of good quality stainless steel pans and pots) and the bikes were simply awesome! Having the bottled water available was the best, and we appreciated that to no end! We totally enjoyed ourselves!! My two sugestions for this amaxing place would be: 1) that It would be great to be able to turn off all the "smart" lights and wifi easily at night when we sleeep as we are pretty thoughtful about EMF pollution and 2) Have a few more good quality stainless steel and/or a cast iron pans and pots in the kitchen. Thank you so much! Mahalo

If you want to be live the Tiki experience this is the place. The architecture, the decor, and the vibe of this house is authentic tiki all the way around. The upstairs is huge with tons of room to spread out. Every wall almost is continuous windows with views of the surrounding trees and mountains. The breeze coming in the kitchen was super nice. Master is huge as well and has some great tiki features and decor. We had zero issues and really enjoyed it. We'd stay here again for sure.

We wanted to stay somewhere unique with a tropical feel and this home did not disappoint!! The photos really don't do this home justice. We loved how tucked away this home was within it's impeccable tropical landscaping. It felt like we were living in a treehouse, with 360 views of Kauai's dramatic cliffsides. Nothing beat drinking our morning cup of coffee or an evening tiki drink to the sunrise and sunsets in this home! The home was clean and well laid out. The primary suite definitely is INCREDIBLE and was a mild source of envy within our group, but all of the rooms were comfortable, clean, and well thought out. We appreciated all of the amenities this home offered, between the cruiser bikes, boogie boards, and ample beach chairs. The large upstairs area gave us plenty of room to spread out, so we never felt like we were living on top of each other. We loved being in a quiet cul-de-sac, right across the street from the farmer's market, and an easy walk to the beach, shops, restaurant, and Big Save at Hanalei. This home and overall stay was so dreamy, and we can't wait to come back!!!

We loved our stay at the tiki house, it exceeded our expectations. Having full 360 views of the surrounds with windows open all around, we felt like we were immersed in paradise. Location was perfect for going to the beach every day and walking into town. The extra amenities were well utilised! All bikes were in working order, there was a surfboard and boogie board, chairs for beach picnics, a guitar, yoga mats and weights.
The bedrooms were massive, comfortable beds, super clean.
The huge upstairs area seemed too big at first but by the time we settled in we thought it was just perfect for our family as it had zones for different activities, conversations, etc. The kitchen had everything we needed and more.
The initial communication with Greg and during our stay was prompt and helpful.
Thanks Greg for providing an amazing home for our family to reunite after years apart during covid.

Terrific place. The huge upstairs is a wonderful place to cook, eat and just hang out (your choice of three livingroom-like seating groups and two large dining tables!) . Love all of the open (and screened) windows that let the tropical breezes flow by. Enjoyed all the birds at the feeder. Really liked having the six beach cruzers (all in good shape) to tool around town with. A two minutee ride to the beach or food. Great beds and amenities.

When we arrived we were instantly washed over with the relaxing vibes of this tropical treehouse. It exceeded expectations. Beautiful Mountain Views and many extra details to help our whole family get the most out of our vacation. Grabbing a bike and a board you could get to at least 3 amazing surf breaks very easily. Walking just minutes down a cool pathway brought you to the gorgeous beach. Walking to town for a bite or groceries was so easy and fun. For the house the beds and bedding were excellent. The host of the property was responsive and considerate. We hope to be back asap!

The Tiki Home was fantastic! To me the home perfectly fits the funky, bohemian vibe of Hanalei.
Highlights of the home were all the wood carvings, the massive master suite (with a super comfortable bed) and the even more massive great room upstairs where you are literally living in the trees. The house just has a wonderful feel to it. This home will absolutely enhance (or make) your vacation.
We had an issue with the cable box (which has a ton of channels) so we contacted Greg the owner and he had a repair person over and the issue fixed in one business day. It is great to have a super responsive owner when things arise during your trip.
The house has a very well appointed kitchen, some very nice beach gear, and some bikes which are in varying degrees of rideability. However there are enough bikes there finding a few to get you around Hanalei should not be an issue. Riding the bikes around Hanalei was one of my favorite parts of our entire trip!
One note, is that the stairs to the upper floor and getting in and out of the tubs/showers can be a bit challenging if you have someone in your group with mobility limitations. However there are sturdy handrails to assist you.
The Tiki Home is a fantastic vacation home set in one of the great beach towns of the world, I highly recommend it!

Dishwasher was on the fritz. But I know these things happen as a Landlord myself and we just rolled with it and it was replaced near the end of our stay. This is not a complaint and the house and location and manager are terrific. I just want to point out that things happen outside the control of the property owner and you can either adapt or get upset. We prefer to be chill and that house was chill. Maholo.

We loved our time in this rental. The big common space plus the four bedrooms was great for our big family. We also appreciated the beach gear: towels, umbrella, chairs, coolers and especially the bikes. Hanalei is such a sweet town and the beach down the street was perfect. We would definitely go back!

Had the best week in Hanalei and the house was perfect. Close to both the beach and town. Huge open living area upstairs and bedrooms downstairs worked well. Beach chairs and bikes were really helpful. Loved our time in Hanalei and hope to rent this place again on a future visit.

What a beautiful place! The great room is really just an amazing space to be in. Not sure where the carved beams are from but they are just lovely to look at. It seems strange to have 3 living rooms but we adapted quickly!
The house description said the house supplied drinking water but it was all empty upon arrival and the fridge water was broken. Probably due to the landslide, we didn’t get more water for 5 days.
Only thing I’d note was there weren’t enough dishes and flatware for the size place. And then we hired a chef to come and cook (because it’s a gorgeous space and has a huge dining area plus another dining table), and had more family over, and the chef really had to supply plates, flatware, platters, etc.

Although it takes some work to get to, Hanalei is one of the most special places on earth. From the Tiki Home, we had easy access to groceries, shopping, restaurants, multiple beaches (snorkeling at Tunnels Beach is a must), great hiking and kayaking. The beach within walking distance is on Hanalei Bay and was great for a relaxing swim with limited small wave activity. The sunsets from that beach were also amazing.
The property came equipped with 6 working bikes which were amazing for getting around to local activities. Getting to anything outside Hanalei required a vehicle. Since typical rentals were completely sold out long before our trip, we utilized Turo and found a private 4Runner rental right across the street from the property. It worked out great.
We had 6 in our party. The house could have slept quite a few more with the number of couches in the main living area. My only knock on the property is the three large sitting areas on the main living floor. It would have been nice to have some game activities (fuse ball, ping pong, billiards, etc.) in place of one of the sitting areas.
All in all, i definitely recommend giving this property a shot.

The home is very spacious and well kept. The master bedroom is huge along with the upstairs. Clean and lots of windows to feel the breeze to keep the house cooler. The house provided water which was extremely helpful and we had wonderful communication from the property manage Greg. Would stay there again. They also provided bikes and boogie boards. Beautiful home great staff....

The Tiki house is indeed funky but that is the charm of the place. Our families loved the open space of the upstairs and the privacy of the downstairs bedrooms. The house comes fully equipped with everything from bikes, beach chairs and surfboards to a well-stocked kitchen with most of the basics (cooking oil, salt/pepper and many spices) available.
The real beauty is the location. The Tiki House is a five minute walk to the middle of the beach at Hanalei Bay. It is a ten minute walk from downtown Hanalei. You cannot beat that! I got up every morning, walked to the beach, surfed, then walked to downtown for coffee and breakfast with the family.
Greg was very communicative and readily available.
We would definitely book the Tiki House again.

We loved staying in Greg's lovely Tiki Home. The house has wonderful carved wood and lava throughout, the layout was perfect for our two families facilitating great family time yet allowing people enough space, the kitchen was stocked allowing us to eat well at home when we wanted, and we were steps to the ocean. Thank you!

The house is very near the beach, and is in a quiet cul-de-sac. The kitchen and dining and social areas of the house are all upstairs, and the bedrooms are all downstairs, which is great to separate the activities and give rest to those who need it. Great big table for family dinner (there were 8 of us). The photos made the house seem modern, but it is not. It is a bit funky in terms of its design, but the layout of the house was great. We also loved the proximity to the beach and to town (you can walk to town). The mattress in the main bedroom needs to be updated.

Wonderful home for a stay in Kauai. SO clean and well appointed, there wasn't a single thing we needed that was not already there. Perfect location as well, walking distance to the beach and downtown Hanalei. We will be booking our vacation for 2020 at the Tiki House soon. Much aloha!

Perfect house for a big family! Unique design features, huge size, close to the beach and downtown (but far enough from noise/traffic).
Gigantic second floor is particularly useful during winter as we had to spend significant time at the house due to frequent rains. You have a 360 degree view through big windows and plenty of space to not feel constrained. Carpeted area is great for small kids to play w/o risk of an injury. Big TV had HDMI and AirPlay connection to stream from laptop/phone.

Booked the Tiki House to celebrate my wife’s birthday at the end of January. The entire group couldn’t have been more impressed with not only the beauty of the house but, the “far away” feel in the middle of Hanalei. As could be expected for January, the weather some days was less than favorable but, the houses unique layout and comfortable furniture allowed for us to gather as a group, find a cozy corner for a book or gaze out the windows at the passing rain showers and take in the house’s treehouse like feel. The house was also nicely appointed with a cook’s kitchen and modern appliances. Great for the couple of nights we decided to stay in.
The location of the house was ideal being a short walk from town and the beach. Light traffic in town and the houses proximity to great dining made our after dinner stroll back to the Tiki House a welcomed nightly ritual. The walk to the beaches of Hanalei Bay was equally enjoyable. Just around the corner is a beach path and equidistant in both directions are County beach parks with the usual amenities.
Greg has been exceptionally easy to work with and left very detailed instructions for the houses operation. He also left a guide to local attractions and restaurants that our group found very helpful. This house stands out as a highlight of our trip and everyone agreed that this is a five star rental. We’ll be back!!!

We had an amazing stay in Kauai and this house was part of what helped that. Beautiful house, perfect for our family, walking distance to Hanalei and just a few block from one of the best beaches on the island. Owners were easy to communicate with and super helpful, even helping us find a baby sitter for an afternoon.

We had big plans to explore Kauai, but when you’re in a house and location this amazing it’s really hard to leave. We spent most days making the short walk to Hanalei Bay, outfitted with beach chairs, towels and water toys available at the house. Walking to town was just as easy and there are a bunch of great options for eating & drinking (Tahiti Nui was our favorite) but do your big grocery run before you arrive in Hanalei at Costco or Foodland.
While not a party pad, the Tiki Home is a great place for elegant, low-key entertaining, with a spacious and very well-appointed kitchen (including some awesome drinkware options for all your tiki cocktails), outdoor gas grill, plenty of comfortable seating areas and gorgeous dining spaces indoors and out. The architectural details of this property really must be experienced to be appreciated. No A/C was not a problem for us, there are plenty of fans and it’s so nice to have the windows open to hear the birds, wind, and even the rain! Spotlessly clean, well-stocked with supplies and wonderfully comfortable, including the gorgeous bedrooms & bathrooms and that nice outdoor shower. Not a budget option but for this occasion it was totally worth it!

Perfect house for our family. This was our second visit to the Tiki House and it was as wonderful as our first visit. We enjoyed the ability to walk to the beach and into town. The restaurant suggestions were helpful and were perfect for both grandparents and toddlers.
Plenty of things to do and places to visit.
Thank you Greg for being such a great host and sharing your beautiful home. Aloha.
