Hanalei is the best
 |
 |
Wow did we enjoy our stay in Hanalei and the island of Kauai. Our accommodation were wonderful, large and spacious for two couples. The patio was a great place to hang when it rained. It does rain in Hanalei. I guess you should expect that since it is so close to the rainiest spot on earth. Don't worry travel a couple miles and the weather is sunny. The sun can be as close as the beach which is just a short walk away.....really! That was nice. Wai'Oli' is a duplex not a big problem but if you rent the unit on the right your bedroom window is just a few feet from the neighbor's patio. They use their patio nightly and even normal conversation sounds very loud. Be advised they are talking with friends late into the night and that is most nights. I think they are the most popular people in Hanalei. My advice ask for the left unit or make friends with the neighbors as soon as you arrive. That way you can spend your evenings at their house drinking and enjoying the conversation.
Owner Response:
We have never had a comment about conversational noise from the neighboring house before. We were able to track down who your neighbors were at Aunty Lydia's Ohana next door. A sister of the North Shore Iron's family (of great world renowned surfing fame) was visiting and she had a lot of family to catch up with. Must have sounded like conversations you wanted to be part of, the surf lore of the North Shore?

Great 2 weeks at the Wai'oli House...March 24-April 7 2013.

My wife and I enjoyed 14 days at the Wai'oli House. The ease of use and proximity to both town and beach was wonderful. The amenities were perfect and the house was very clean and more than adequately supplied for cooking and entertaining. We highly recommend you stay at Wai'oli House when you visit Hanalei Bay area.

Very clean, comfortable, wonderful location!

Our stay at the Wai'oli was all we'd dreamed and more. It was very clean, comfortable, and the open floor plan and high ceilings made it feel spacious. The yards are also beautifully landscaped and maintained. (We very much enjoyed the young hen that visited the yard, and also the little geckos on the bush outside the kitchen window.) It has a beautiful view of the mountains and waterfalls from the kitchen window! Very convenient location. As stated, it is a short walk to the beach; and we enjoyed walks to restaurants, shops, farmers' market, river kayak rentals, etc. in town. It was also easy to take day trips to many other beautiful sites from this location. It was our first trip to HI, and we feel that we hit the jackpot by choosing the Wai'oli and Hanalei, Kaua'i. We would definitely like to stay there again.

Lovely stay in Hanalei

Thanks for sharing this lovely home. All was great. Note, this property is on Kuhio Hwy, but despite this, was quiet, and never felt overly trafficked. But I live on a busline in a larger metropolitan area, so my perception is perhaps skewed. We love Hanalei and its laidback style. I'm not much for resorts, so this place is perfect. The section of beach closest to the house (short walking distance) has a big slope/undertow so is not recommended for swimming. This may change as the winter weather shifts the beach around, but we found it better to drive the very short distance (since we have a 3yo) to a different section of Hanalei Bay for beach access, which worked out just fine. This really is a lovely home!

Wonderful place to stay in Hanalei

Loved the high end finishes in this place. Large and airy kitchen, dining and living room area. Perfect for our family of 3. You could easily have 2 more people stay with a bonus loft room that has a full size bed. Washer and dryer was great to have. No air conditioning, but lots of fans throughout house, highly recommend keeping them running throughout the day, even when you are gone so the house isn't so hot at night. No views of the beach, but great views of mountains. Beach is only 1 1/2 blocks away. We drove to where shopping and beach parking was - easier for us to not have to lug everything to town.

We enjoyed a week stay in this lovely home. It had everything we needed for 2 adults and 2 teens -- beach gear, kitchen supplies, good beds, even a few guidebooks. We walked to the beach and to town every day. The house is very clean and stylish -- we didn't even mind a day or two of rain. Our boys loved the loft and made it their own hangout place. The adults enjoyed the full kitchen and good chairs for reading.

Happy in Hanalei
|

We arrived to find this home spotless and well equiped. The outdoor shower was a bonus when arriving home from the beach everyday to de-sand! I wish it had a little more privacy however, and we would not have used the inside shower at all! The lanai was perfect for evening dinners. We were pleased to find an adequate beach towel supply and a very effecient washer and dryer. The weather was warm during our stay but the extra floor fans along with the ceiling fans kept things quite comfortable, even upstairs in the loft. We found it an easy walk to the beach from the house mainly on quiet, residential streets.

This was a great property in a great location in Hanelei. It was a perfect size for our family of 5. It was very close to the beach and within a long walk to the heart of Hanelei. The view of the mountains from the kitchen is breathtaking. The property is exactly as described on the web page. Hanelei is a perfect community to stay in because it is very quiet, and very close to all of the beaches on the north shore. We would highly recommend this rental.

Perfect!
This is a perfect place to stay. Close to the beach, accomodations are great and the service is exceptional. They make everything very easy upon arrival. Property was clean, the amenities are great so you don't have to lug chairs, towels, boogie boards, or snorkeling gear. The outside shower is ideal. We went with a family of 4 in the summer, adn the surf is right at the beach you walk to during that time. Literally a 3 minute walk. Perfect amount of room, floor plan is wide open and the pictures are exactly what you get. We will stay there again, for sure.

Amazing Place...the Wai'oli
|
|
What an amazing place...the Wai'oli! I stayed there for 8 days and can't think of a single downfall. I was in Kauai for a wedding on the beach in Hanalei Bay and couldn't have picked a more appropriate spot having never been to the island before. The place itself was immaculate and we felt completely safe in the quant little neighborhood. Thank you again and again!!! Keely
