Perfect location in Hanalei Bay

I can highly recommend this property. Situated in beautiful Hanalei Bay, walk across the garden to the beach. Beautiful maintained with everything available including beach towels, beach chairs, outdoor furniture and BBQ.

We rented the upstairs and downstairs suites for a week for the seven of us. Couldn't have had a better vacation, right on the beach, and just a nice walk into the village - just perfect! Wish we could stay forever.

We rented both the upstairs and downstairs for a family vacation. It was absolutely perfect for our group. It had everything we needed and it is in the perfect location especially when you have small children with you. The grass area is wonderful and worked perfect for my 16 month granddaughter who was in a walking boot from breaking her tibia two weeks before.Kobayashi's are great to rent from and they keep the area very clean and maintained. We had a great time.

Upstairs Beach House

It was our first visit, and we already to look forward to the next one. What a great beach house! The listing info and photos were very accurate. The place was actually even better than we had expected. An extremely comfortable house. And a large lanai w/ great views (and nice breezes).

Our Piece of Heaven on Earth

Every 5 years, we spend our wedding anniversary at this property. It is beautiful! I can't imagine ever returning to the resorts on Kauai. We have everything we need here, and there's nothing between our lanai and the surf except some grass and sand. Though we planned to have a few meals out on the town, we also gathered food and supplies on our way from the airport. When we realized we didn't have or ran out of something, we either found it in the nearby grocery store or in the cabinets of the house. Sometimes, we rent a place and the spices and condiments left behind by others are greasy and stale. But here, it was almost as if everything was freshly stocked for us. Little details like a new, in-wrapper sponge for doing dishes remind me that this place is cleaner than my own house! And yet, this place does feel like home. The on-property washer/dryer means that we can wash our clothes halfway through the trip instead of packing more luggage. I can't decide what was the best party of staying here. Surfing perfect waves just outside our front door? Grilling our own meals, usually a local fish with some fresh vegetables and a $1 pineapple from the town's farmer's market? Relaxing on the lanai while listening to our music on the house's stereo? Being located far enough down the road that we beat the crowds to the Kalalau trailhead and Tunnels Beach? It truly doesn't get any better than this. From leisurely walks into town to candlelit dinners, this place is near everything yet away from it all. I said it before and I'll say it again: we WILL be back!

Doesn't get any better!

We decided to get married on Kauai and have always wanted to explore Hanalei. We found the perfect place here. The house was clean & well equipped. Most houses like this with an ocean view costs far more than we paid. We ended up getting married on the lawn between the house & the ocean because it was so beautiful there. I highly recommend the upstairs beach house Na Hoku! Mahalo

There is not a unit on this property that is not perfect. The Upstairs has to be my personal favorite, simply because my morning coffee, papaya, pastry was enjoyed with the postcard view afforded from a second story deck. If you're not sure on the location of this property be advised that it does not get any better. The large green lawn welcomes you back from your pristine gorgeous beach of the perfectly rugged mountain framed Hanalei Bay. A beach walk to the pier and back is so enjoyable it will have you conjuring business plans to afford you a property of your own fronting this paradise. That being said the Upstairs is a great unit for any vacation. Functional, simple, well maintained and clean enough to let a 7 month old crawl around. I hope to make this an annual tradition.

Thank you for a great place to lay our heads on this amazing island. What a trip. We had such an amazing time and the location was perfect. The house was right on the beach and so close to town. Our neighbors were great and we found nothing lacking in the accommodations. The only thing we did notice was a bit of an insect/ant problem. I'm sure that's the case anywhere on the island, but as much as we kept things clean and dry....there they were. We found the beds very comfy, the views breathtaking, the kitchen fully stocked (even a few condiments), and beautiful island breezes. I would come back again. Mahalo

Perfect vacation
|

This was the best vacation ever. Everything in the property listing was exactly as portrayed in description and photos. The house was very clean and anything we needed had been supplied. This vacation was a long time in the planning and the owner was extremly helpful and pleasant every step of the way. Whether you want to relax on the beach or be driving around to see the sights you'll have whatever you need. I would highly reccomend this listing to anyone looking for the perfect spot.

Great piece of property at the base of Hanalei Bay - we rented the upstairs unit for 6 days/5 nights (not long enough...) - upstairs was perfect size for our group
Coffee in the morning on the covered lanai, a glass of wine and a BBQ every evening.
All with under 200 steps to the sand - can't beat it
We'll be back - mahalo

Dear Suzanne and Terri:
We would like to thank you very much for allowing us to rent the Upstairs Beach House. We sincerely appreciated the way the house was prepared for us upon our arrival. The flowers, fruit and coffee that were available for us were very welcoming touches. The house was in a perfect location for us. It was very peaceful in the evenings. This really helped make our vacation a relaxing one. Finally, we were blessed with great weather and we particularly enjoyed our daily walks to the pier, the nightly sunsets from the lanai, and our first experience as ocean sweepers.
Thanks again,
Dennis and Sue

Heavenly Hanalei

We have stayed at the Kobayashi cottages several times before - this was our first stay in the Upstairs Beach House. We had absolutely everything we needed. The cottage is simple, but very comfortable. The views and the proximity to the magnificent beach are worth the price per night. There are many other rental properties on this beach, but very few at this price point. We will be back!
Owner response:Thanks for the nice review. We look forward to your return.
