Our large family had an epic stay at this beautiful beach house. The home itself has everything you could want or need. Very short walk to the beach. The team at Makana properties is excellent. They were kind, thoughtful and professional.
We vacationed here in Hanalei when our children were younger and now they are grown, married and we are grandparents. This vacation will forever stay with me! With love and many thank you's, nana xx

This was a perfect house for our family. We really enjoyed the deck and spent a ton of time out there. So beautiful when it was raining. Listening to the birds and counting the rainbows. Bedrooms and beds were very comfortable. The only downside was there was a gas leak and we had no oven or stove top to use our entire 12 days. We were told the night before we arrived. They kindly provided portable oven's and hot pads but they really didn't work well for our needs. they kept blowing fuses. We wanted to cook most meal's at the house because we were traveling with a 6 month old but that didn't work out. if the kitchen issues get fixed it is a wonderful place to stay and we highly recommend.

We had such a wonderful time at this property in our favorite place! The location is perfect and the home is simply beautiful. We have no negative complaints whatsoever about the home, however there was quite a bit of rooster noise throughout the nights that kept us up. The chickens are native to the island so it comes with the territory! We can’t wait to come back!! 5+ stars

This property was exceptional in every way. The place is very large, beautifully decorated, a well stocked kitchen and tons of beach supplies too! The location though could not have been better. The walk to Hanalei Beach is one minute away, and about 5 minutes to the town. It is a great base for everything but we never wanted to leave!!

There are not enough superlatives to describe our experience at this home. It is spacious, comfortable, beautifully furnished and the kitchen(s) are intuitively designed and well equipped with everything one who enjoys cooking could need (except for a garlic press, our only negative comment!). Also tons of beach chairs, towels, boogie boards, umbrellas and a wagon to carry it all!We have previously only stayed on the ocean side of Weke Road so we were unsure if "steps to the beach" was really accurate, and it is. It is only about 100 steps from the front door to the entrance to the beach. Literally maybe a 90 second walk.We LOVED this home and can't wait to go back.

This home is beautiful and in a dreamy location! It’s a short walk to the town of Hanalei and an even shorter walk to the beach. With three lanais and a view of the beach and mountains, you won’t want to leave! The property managers could not have been more accommodating and responsive to our needs/questions. All six adults as well as the one and a half year old loved our time on Hanalei Bay!

We have been visiting this property since 2010, almost annually. It is a wonderful property and a great location. Unfortunately, the new management company has nearly tripled the cost of the rental moving forward. This puts this property out of reach for future stays. It is also a shame that Hanalei is turning into a tropical Aspen, where only the super wealthy can afford to stay there. It changes the entire vibe of the town and the beach. It used to be a hidden gem, very local, with a Hippie vibe. I fear it may now be changed forever. It's certainly not an affordable locale.

This is about the 8th time we have stayed at Nalu Hanalei and it keeps getting better. New furniture was a welcome treat! Super clean upon arrival. Never a need to contact the management company but I will say that they were way out in front of things with communication prior to our arrival. If you are looking for a rental that has everything (toys/TV's/kitchens/wonderful beds/AC) and is walking distance to the beach and town...this is your place! Hanalei...still one of the most beautiful places in the world!

Nalu Hanalei was perfect for 2 couples upstairs and a family of 3 downstairs. Upstairs balcony very comfortable for dining or lounging. Great views. Walk to beach was convenient. Walk to town is also convenient. 2 very minor suggestions:Would be nice to have a flat skillet for making pancakes/French Toast. Would also be nice to provide tissues/Kleenex somewhere in house. All in all, highly recommend Nalu Hanalei.

Nalu Hanalei is an outstanding rental property. It’s location on Weke Road is ideal. Although not situated directly beachfront, the ocean views from inside the home and from the upstairs lanai are absolutely incredible because of an undeveloped beachfront lot across the street. The home’s interior is beautiful, comfortable, spacious and as represented in online photos. Split system air conditioning keeps home cool during hot afternoons. We were a group of 6, family and friends. The young adults stayed downstairs with their own two bedrooms, bath, kitchen, living area, and lanai. We would gather upstairs for group meals at either of the large dining tables, one inside, one outside on lanai. Kitchen is well-outfitted with everything one may need for food prep, serving, etc. The town of Hanalei was a short walk away. We walked to Dolphin Fish Market and picked up delicious fresh fish, sushi and poke. Bay is perfect for swimming and bodysurfing. The clean, soft sand beach is a great place to relax, play and enjoy the day. Wonderful hikes nearby. There are no large resorts in the town of Hanalei. It is a special place.

Great location. Quick walk to beach. Easy walk to Hanalei town. We all really enjoyed upstairs lanai and view. Loved the equitable sized bedrooms all with king beds. Several maintenance issues. Downstairs toilet clogged on first use after our Saturday arrival. Had to wait until Monday for septic tank pumped. Still never functioned very well. Both upstairs and downstairs freezer doors were broken. They did bring in a refrigerator/freezer and placed on back patio but that meant schlepping ice upstairs all the time. Upstairs dishwasher broken. Though downstairs one was working all the dishes were upstairs and we just hand washed rather than carry them down and back up. All in all an enjoyable stay and would recommend once these issues are resolved

Fifth time staying at Nalu always delivers a wonderful experience. The property was available and clean after a long day of travel. The new AC added to the unit is amazing! The property management company was responsive to a small request and more than willing to help. All in all it was a wonderful stay. The property matches its description...location is perfect if you want long days on the beach and shorts walks into town.

This welcoming, comfortable house felt like home with its relaxing lanai, splendid view, great location, generous bedrooms, and well equipped kitchens. It is perfectly located to enjoy Hanalei, its beaches, its swimming and surfing, its shops and restaurants. The owners are generous and helpful. We loved being in their beautiful home at the beach.

This home is not your average vacation rental. It is like staying in a luxury resort. The owners have left nothing to chance. You have everything you could possibly want for a fantastic vacation. The location could not be better. You walk across the street to Hanalei Bay, go right to the Pier and River for Kayaking and other adventures, go left and you are at the shopping,restaurants and farmers markets. When we go back we will stay here again. The owners were super nice and accomodating.

We loved having our coffee on the lanai in the
morning and watching the clouds and shadows shift
on the mountains, the sudden showers and
rainbows, the waterfalls , redheaded birds. If it
were just that it would have been enough but there
was so much more. My nine year old grandson
enjoyed going to the beach, taking a nice warm
bath, and then reading on the lanai with the wind
blowing on him. He is glad that there was a boogie
board there.He asked me to say that. The house is
beautifully appointed and decorated just enough so
that it became possible to believe it was our very
own house for that time. The kitchen was a delight
to the two chefs in the family. Since we were with
are daughter's family it was great having two floors.
We liked the proximity to the beach and the town.
We loved it all and hope to return.

If you want true Kauai, this is the home. Out of all the towns and beaches we visited we enjoyed the time spent in Hanalei the most and it is the BEST beach. The house is in a great location right near the beach and a short walk into town. Breathtaking sunsets from the deck and waterfalls from the kitchen window. We loved using the kitchen and enjoyed dinners on the deck. You truly don't need to bring much because this house has it all, bikes, boogie boards, games, towels, kids beach toys, pack n play, even hats etc. etc. The home is beautiful and upgraded, the beds are comfy, the furniture very tasteful. At sunset, go to the dock at the end of the road, it's beautiful. Overall we couldn't have picked a more perfect house or location. We wish we could live here. We hope to be back soon.

We returned home from the Hanalei House May 2nd and I can tell you that we had a marvelous time, we were truly in paradise. The home is absolutely beautiful, the furnishing are very tasteful and atmosphere is very comfortable and cozy but yet enough space for all 8 adults. Sitting on the lanai for morning coffee and afternoon wine, was the best. The house is fully equipped, especially the kitchen(s), and having the bikes was the best! We surfed, snorkeled, went scuba diving, hiked, enjoyed wonderful walks on the beach at sunset and 100% completely enjoyed ourselves. And of course the blues band at Tahiti Nui was a must for our group.
We came from as far away as Ft Lauderdale Florida, San Francisco, Sacramento and Stockton, and was worth every mile we flew.
Awesome vacation, thank you for sharing a piece of paradise.

This beautifully furnished home was the perfect
place for our two-week stay in Hanalei. The
location was ideal for our group of eight, being a
very short walk from both the beach and Hanalei
town. Our group enjoyed the beautiful lanai and
ocean view so much, that we preferred eating at
the home rather than going to a restaurant. Mahalo
for sharing your amazing property with us. We can't
wait to return!

Very nice house located in a beauty of an area. Gorgeous views of bay, sunset, and mountain from the lanai. Very nice construction, finishes, and furnishings. Sherri has an eye for style and practicality. Sound system throughout the house. We're happy to share photos of our time spent in the house. Do a search on Flickr for Weke Road Rental

The house is in a splendid location on Hanalei bay. It's within easy walking distance to the center of Hanalei town, as well as maybe 150 meters to the beach. The best part, however, is the incredible deck that opens to the main living area upstairs in the house.
