Called ahead to see if property was ready for early check in and was told it was. Room was 1/2 cleaned when we arrived. We assumed the cleaners had paused for a lunch break (we didn’t see them). We left again to give them space, assuming the cleaners would return and finish. We returned to the unit at dinner time- unchanged. Called and they went out a lovely person who did a great job cleaning it up. But we had to stay vacated for a couple more hours to achieve this, so really didn’t get into the room until well after dinner. Layout is comparable to a hotel room, no kitchenette. Note that the refrigerator and dishes are stored in the bathroom. Laundry is not in unit. View was lovely. Easy walk up. We were there for limited time, so didn’t try the onsite restaurants.

We really enjoyed our stay. The grounds were beautiful and had a lot of amenities. The only thing that we were not happy about was the extra fees that the resort charges over and above the owners charge, which stated all fees included.

Excellent. Top vacation of my life with my family as grown adults. We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary and this unit did NOT disappoint-thank you.I would highly recommend this unit to everyone. Next time we’ll stay for two weeks. Mahalo!!

The unit needs a refresh. Especially the bathroom and kitchen. Bathroom was dated with older tile (mold and dark spots) the fan wasn’t clean. The oven door was broken in the kitchen and the refrigerator was visibly rusty. No dressers in the unit, actually there was one upstairs but it was full of blankets and sheets. I would not recommend this place. However the view and Hanelia Resort are magical.

This property's view took our breath away! We looked at the pictures and wondered, will it really look like that? It exceeded our expectations! The airflow between the front door and the back door was WONDERFUL for keeping the climate cool in our room, both day and night! Way better than the A/C. The kitchenette was adequate for our 3 night stay. We would stay here again!

My hubby & I recently stayed here, and it was an unforgettable experience! The location was perfect, just a short walk from the beach and surrounded by lush greenery.One of the highlights was exploring the nearby hiking trails as well as spending time on the pristine beaches. Another bonus is having a fun bar/restaurant- "Happy Talk" on the property Overall, I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in Kauai. We can’t wait to come back!

This unit is perfect with THE most amazing view. Easy access, clean and comfortable and nicely furnished! It’s perfect for 2 people. Mini fridge, microwave and a keurig are a nice touch with dishes and silverware too. I would stay there again in a heartbeat when we come back in a year or two. HBR property and staff are top notch and the grounds are spectacular with access to an amazing snorkeling beach. I highly recommend this property!

This is basically a resort where individuals own the rooms and the property manages check-in. That being said, the property didn’t have any record of our visit being booked. It took over an hour to get fixed so that we could get checked in. Not the resort’s fault, somehow there was an error with the owner submitting the booking. Parking is pretty packed. You also can only see the ocean from one far corner of the balcony and even then the ocean isn’t particularly close. All of this wasn’t great, but by far the worst is that the air conditioning was broken and sleeping in the hot humidity was not particularly restful. I messaged the owner and he kept saying that he was sending people to check it out. First they didn’t come, then when they did come there was supposedly a fix made that didn’t help the problem and then several things to push off the fix. It was not fixed in our several day stay and no compensations were made. We had a wonderful trip, but staying here was definitely the worst thing about our trip.

Great place to stay at Hanalei Bay Resort. The condo is well equipped for a couple with very nice furnishings and kitchen. Of course the lanai is where we spent our Mornings and evenings enjoying the spectacular views and bird life.

I have stayed at this resort before and was super impressed with the pool, restaurant and location however this unit blew me away. It has an awesome view, full kitchen and high ceilings. The bathroom was spacious. We had coffee on the balcony enjoying the view of mountains and the pool area. Bigger than their typical units. Felt like a house. Beautiful canopy king sized bed and good air-conditioning. Milo communicated proactively with lists of anything you need to know. Super sweet and professional. I will be back for sure. What a wonderful anniversary trip! Highly recommend. Thank you Milo!

Prince like was a good location to stay for good views and close beach. Hanalei was great town just down the road. Book boat tours from the north shore early so you don’t have to drive down to the south.

What can I say? This was better than I could have expected. Opening the lanai every morning as the sun rose to see what beautiful views Hanalei Bay and the surrounding green mountains could offer was incredible as we sipped our coffee and planned the day ahead. The resort and condo have everything you could need and the area is breathtaking. This was the perfect location for our north shore hub. I cannot wait to come back.

Beautiful area and the studio was as advertised. Hanalei Bay is picturesque and photos do not do it justice. The resort was gorgeous, had excellent amenities and out-of-this-world landscaping. Would definitely return! Thanks Milo!

What we loved: The condo was nicely decorated, comfy, clean and well equipped - we loved our stay here and the host was very responsive. The resort and views are gorgeous! Here’s what I wish I knew before (hoping this helps others): Be prepared for limited wknd parking and a long, steep walk from the condo. We were able bodied but someone elderly, with a disability, or littles may need to call the desk for rides. Don’t be surprised if you see significant rain and rough surf (risky swimming) on the north side (but everyone was right - it’s usually sunny somewhere else on the island. Use that time to just relax or plan on driving to so many things l on the east and south sides. Don’t plan on sleeping in much!! The roosters crow outside your door at 6:30am and all day long most days but thankfully we were on east coast time and early birds. By the time we felt like sleeping in, we got used to them!! And finally the resort fees (sigh)…even if you’ve fully paid the host…you still have to pay resort fees and parking fees plus a hefty 18% state tax at checkin. For our two week stay it came to 800. The host has updated the listing to reflect the current fees. All in all we loved our stay here and hope to come back soon! Kaua’i is a magical place that steals your heart and those mornings and sunsets with that view are priceless!!! Mahalo for welcoming us to your beautiful home!!!

This unit has the most stunning view and was very comfortable to stay in! The resort itself was fantastic with an amazing pool that wasnt crowded and great restaurant too! The beach that was walkable from the property was perfect for our family and a bonus that it was shaded by the beautiful trees! Would love the opportunity to stay in this unit again!

We had a wonderful stay at Belinda’s property! The three units were exactly as described — clean, spacious for five adults and fully stocked with everything we needed. The resort amenities were a huge bonus. We really enjoyed the beautiful swimming pool and on-site dining was very convenient after a long day.The walk down to the beach was easy enough that we didn't need to call for a golf cart. We really appreciated the beach chairs, snorkel gear, and cooler provided for our use. The location was a short drive to everything we were doing on the North Shore.Belinda was a fantastic host — responsive, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with from the start. We’d absolutely come back just to sit on the lanai and soak up the amazing view. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Princeville.

We had an amazing stay at this Parrish property managed within the Hanolei Bay Resort. This specific condo was a little dated but well kept and overall in good condition; it satisfied all of our needs while staying on the North Shore. The resort itself has excellent amenities and the view of the mountains and bay from the condo is unmatched. We stayed in the 3rd floor and I do wish there was an elevator considering all of our bags. The parking lot was also a good bit from the condo, but the property has bellhops on golf carts that can pick you up and drop you off. It’s just not something we had anticipated. The communication with Parrish was very good and response to texts when we had questions was very rapid. On the whole we had a fantastic stay and would definitely come back!

Super clean, beautifully designed, and really well-stocked with everything we needed. We especially appreciated how quiet and relaxing the area was—felt like a little slice of paradise. Would absolutely stay again!

The pictures are 100% accurate with this stunning view. It easily is one of the best views you can get in Hanalei. The surrounding resort is beautiful, with a great casual restaurant and excellent facilities. Self parking is easy and we were always able to find a spot. The owner clearly cares about this property and is a lovely person. Room itself was immaculate and this is a great location for exploring Hanalei. Although it has a small fridge and a coffee maker, it is not a place where you can cook full meals, so don't expect that ; more akin to a hotel room in that way. Although you can see other balconies from yours, for us it did not affect our stay and actually this balcony felt more removed and private than many places we've stayed in Hawai'i due to no other balconies pressed directly against it. Would love to return!

Lovely ground floor unit with an amazing view of Hanalei Bay and the mountains! Just a short walk from the lagoon-style pool and hot tub, which were great to relax in after active days. We also liked having the option to cook for ourselves some of the time, and there was plenty of cutlery and kitchen equipment to do so.

Everything was amazing great view clean property Only thing I would say I didn’t like was the washer/dryer door kept falling apart. The hinges slide together. I didn’t have any tools so I just kept putting it back together. About 15x

The room itself had everything we needed - mini kitchen with fridge, washer and dryer and some beach gear (cooler & chairs). The layout of the room provided us with plenty of room for us to unpack and be comfortable. Updates are definitely needed but for the price we paid I’m not complaining. It was clean, comfortable and had AC (a plus). The realty team was VERY helpful and always quick to respond. I definitely recommitting staying at this resort!
