We have stayed here before and this was another happy experience. It's a cozy place, big enough for two, and you cannot beat the location--right on the beach and a 5-minute walk to the heart of town! It's not an ultra-deluxe rental with endless amenities (e.g., no dishwasher) but it's comfortable and 100 steps to the sand.

Beautiful beach cottage, in an amazingly beautiful location. Loved the close access to the beach.
Only downside was the close proximity to the other house on the property which also blocked the sunset view, just had to enjoy sunset on the beach. We were fortunate to have no one staying in the house for the week we were here which kept things very private and intimate.
We will definitely be looking to stay here again when we Plan our next north shore adventure

We’ve been to Hanalei many times and stayed at different properties. This was by far the best. Great location. Great views. Great setup. Prop management company was super responsive. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An amazing piece of property over looking one of the most beautiful beaches in Kauai. A perfect place to stay for two active adults.

Cozy 1-bedroom 1-bathroom place in an amazing location. It is a short walk away from many restaurants and shops and an extremely short walk from the beach (basically on the water). Parking was also super easy. The place also had a balcony with a great view of the water. We loved it!

This place is amazing! We had a fun and relaxing time and communication with the host was easy. The porch is a perfect spot for hanalei bay sunsets.

It does not get better than this for Hanalei. This property is steps from the beach and a 5 minute walk to town. Our favorite thing was the outdoor shower! It was great to come in from the beach and shower off before going upstairs. The view from the deck is so crazy. We spent every evening watch the boats in the harbor.

We love Wilikeiki, have stayed there several times. The apartment is simple, but very clean and comfortable. Our favorite part is the outdoor shower! There is an indoor shower, but the outside shower under the sun or rain is magical! The location is perfect, right on Hanalei beach, very close to town. The staff at Na Pali Properties is helpful and personable!

What we liked most was that we could see the sea from the dining room, and we could go to the beach directly from the front door.We had breakfast on the beach early in the morning.It was a relaxing and comfortable stay!The problem was that the blind in the dining room was broken and the parasol on the lanai was also bloken.We hope these would be fixed.And it was hard to know which trash was ours, because there is another cottage in the same address.But we are mostly satisfied.

This property is accurately described. It’s spacious for a one bedroom, the mattress was comfortable and the kitchen had what we needed for cooking simple meals. Although the bathroom was downstairs from the bedroom, it was perfectly fine for a week. It was an easy walk into town for dinner and shopping. We enjoyed our time here and were fortunate to have been able to meet the lovely and gracious owner. Although the property is dated, we found it to be worth it for location and would not hesitate to stay here again. Mahalo for sharing your home!

We’ve stayed on the bay in Hanalei nearly every year for the last 27 years. We are beyond delighted to have found this sweet cottage, perfect for two.
It is Island Style at its best…simple, comfortable, and beautifully designed to take advantage of the gorgeous views. Steps from the most incredible beach imaginable, early mornings walks are a must.
We plan to return again and again!

The location is fabulous, and many will find that makes it worth having a very basic experience. The property had trash, recycling, and junked patio furniture stacked against the house. The screen door was hanging off its hinges and would not close properly. The house was not exceptionally clean, with only lukewarm water to wash dishes (there is no dishwasher) that has to run for 10 minutes before there is any heat at all, and with dingy towels that we washed as soon as we got there. However, when we contacted the property manager, she was incredibly responsive and had the door replaced and a plumber come to check the water (alas, it still doesn't get hot in the kitchen).We loved the location with a 30-second walk to the beach and the great surfing. So we would recommend if you are ok with the rest of the guest experience.

This is all about the proximity to the beach and the sunsets. Everything else was just fine.... but being so close to the beach and town just made the property extra special. We rarely got into our car..... spectacular sunsets... spacious and clean... the bathroom is downstairs which is odd and a little inconvenient, but otherwise its all great.

We loved our stay. This guest house is behind and off-center to a larger house on the same property, which, maybe I missed it in the description, was a bit of a surprise when we showed up. No AC, so you have to get good at using the windows and natural air flow of the island. We had no trouble staying cool and my husband is typically always hot and sweaty due to hyperhidrosis. Might have helped if the exhaust fan worked.
Outdoor and indoor showers were awesome. The sand is very fine and doesn’t brush off easily, so the outdoor shower really helped keep sand out of the house!
We walked into Hanalei for almost every meal we needed. The town has everything you could want for a vacation town including a grocery store and post office.
The property abuts the Hanalei Bay beach which was such a treat. We had never stayed on a beachfront property before. Always had prime beach space. Not too crowded in mid-June.
All in all, we will certainly rent here again and recommend it to our friends!

This is a good place to stay if you want to be close to the beach. Furnishings, etc., are a bit dated but quite adequate. The living area is upstairs and the only bathroom is downstairs, which is slightly inconvenient but in our opinion still worth it in order to stay in this location. The management company is responsive and pleasant to deal with.

We’ve been coming to Hanalei for 25 years and this was the best place we have stayed at. Simple, nothing fancy, comfortable, spacious unit in a truly unbeatable location. Walk across grass to ocean. Listen to the waves going to sleep. Spent three weeks here and the unit had everything we needed. Property manager very responsive.

We saw rainbows every morning with our coffee on the lanai, had showers to see the waterfalls in the afternoons, then the sky cleared to see the stars at night! We have stayed at Wilikeiki before but this time we were not as rushed to actually get everything in that we wanted to do since we were here for 19 nights. This was a perfect home base and would most definitely stay here again!

This is a great Ohana unit or ADU, for 2 people, right on the beach behind the main house in Hanalei. We love the bay, the walks on the beach, and swimming in the bay so this place was fantastic! A simple place, not fancy, but clean and fine for a simple place to stay in a fantastic location. Jane, and Na Pali Properties are wonderful to deal with. The bathroom is small, and downstairs, but we showered a lot in the outdoor shower which is quite nice to do, and not as cramped. The bedroom, and open kitchen, dining, and living area are upstairs. There is also a nice balcony, and the views from the open upstairs are great! We will definitely be staying there again.
