Perfect stay!
 |
 |
My husband, 9mo baby, and I enjoyed a perfect week in this lovely home! Aunty Lydia's is perfectly located, as only a short scenic walk into town (10min at most), and 2 min walk to Hanalei Beach. Basic necessities are at the house, such as kitchen cookware, blender, BBQ, and dishes. Beach towels and beach supplies. The washer/dryer came in handy. Everything was clean and tidy. Beautiful mountain view from living room- with 2 waterfalls at the time of our stay. A perfect front lawn with table and chairs, and outdoor shower. We were a little worried that the place was right on the main road, but the yards mature vegetation provided plenty of privacy, and the road was actually not that busy- and we had no issues with noise. The neighbors are so warm and welcoming. It was truly a magical week. I hope to visit Aunty Lydia's Ohana again in the future, and definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a relaxing and peaceful getaway in beautiful Hanalei Bay! TIP: Visit nearby farmer's markets to stock up on local foods. We grilled pineapple that was so delicious!

Aunty Lydia's stay
|
|
We stayed at Aunty Lydia's at the end of June and loved our stay! We had 3 adults and two kids, 13 and 11. The property was well represented on VRBO and perfectly comfortable for our family. The house is modest, but has great character and had everything we needed, including boogie boards and beach towels. The home was very clean and well-maintained. The bonus was the outdoor shower! We were a little surprised about the other house on the property, but the residents were super nice and quiet. The proximity to town and the beach was exactly what we were looking for. Walk to everything! The property management was very helpful and attentive and very easy to communicate with. We really had a trouble free visit. We would definitely recommend Aunty Lydia's to anyone considering and would stay there again!

Great location

The property was very clean and well maintained. A short walk to a very nice beach. The town of Hanalei is just down the road with a grocery store, restaurants and shopping. Planning on coming back soon!

Comfy and cozy
|

The house was comfortable and cozy for the four of us, including two teenagers. It's proximity to the beach and the town were great, the view of the mountains fabulous. Everyone was friendly and helpful, and it made us absolutely LOVE Hanalei. We'd stay there again in a heartbeat!

home with character
|
|
The location of this home was great, centrally located in the middle of Hanalei Bay, very close to the beach. We had everything we needed and felt very comfortable. The house has so much charm, plenty of space, wonderful views of waterfalls and mountains; we would definitely stay here again.

Great location and our favorite place during our trip
|
|
3-4 minute walk to a fantastic beach. Close proximity (10 minute walk) to town. House had loads of character. Outdoor shower=awesome. Mountain views-spectacular. 10 minute drive to Tunnels where we had great snorkling. <15 minute drive to Kee beach where we hiked Kalalau Trail. Took a short drive to swim at Queens Bath. Washer/Dryer nice. Lots of square footage with huge living room, dining room, kitchen, and 3 bedrooms. If it were possible I would spend the rest of my life in that house in that spot on the most beautiful island in the world. Took a helicopter tour of Na Pali coast-best thing we have ever done and a Zodiac tour as well with dolphins within arms reach-amazing,dreamy place......

Nice well priced rental house
|

We were looking for an affordable rental in town and were very happy with our choice. We only needed 2 bedrooms but this was less expensive that the two bedroom places on VRBO so we had more than ample space. The house isn't "fancy" but was very comfortable and had everything we needed plus a nice yard for our daughter and her friends to run around. The location was fantastic (two blocks to Grandpa's beach). We definitely made use of the bbq, boogie boards, snorkel gear and beach toys that are available. We also really enjoyed the history of the family who lived there. Thanks so much and we hope to be back soon! BTW, very cute women's boutique up the road in Kilauea called Oskars. The owner, Anne, was really helpful and has fantastic clothes!

"Easy walk to the beach and to town what more do you want?"
|

Great place to stay with family and friends. Clean, spacious, and great location made us want to return to kauai for another vacation.
I probably would recommend this accommodation to my best friend!

I had a really nice stay in Hanalei!
|

The house was very cozy and clean. The neighbors were very nice and loaned us their Paddle Board. The area was very quiet after 10am. The walk to the beach was very short and the beach was, of course, amazing. We would recommend the Ohana for families or couples anytime. The sleeping arrangements were perfect for us with 2 large beds in separate rooms and a third room with twin beds. We did a lot of cooking and barbecued some fish and steaks. Dont bother buying charcoal, like I did, as the grill is propane.

Nice Place, Great Location
|

We used this as base camp for our various North Shore adventures. Clean, comfortable, simple, well maintained, straight forward...had everything we needed. Everything about the property was as advertised and worked as advertised. Outdoor shower was my favorite. Would be good for families. Close, easy walk to beach and town. The rental agency people are cool and very easy to deal with. Bottom line if you are looking for a 5-star resort this is not it. But if you want a chill little house in a great location, it is great value for your money!

We loved staying at this very cute home. It was clean and comfortable. After driving most of the island, the north shore is by far the prettiest place to stay. We will go back for sure. There is so much to see and do, one trip was not enough. When we return this house will be our home away from home on Kauai.

Perfect base for our vacation
|
|
The house was a perfect base for our vacation. It was exactly as pictured and, while not fancy, was everything we needed. The location was ideal; we had picnic breakfast on the bay each morning and it was a short walk into town for shopping and our one dinner out. My husband and I enjoyed the barbeque the other evenings. The only drawback was the closeness to the highway, but, honestly, after a day, we were not overly disturbed by road noise. If you a looking for a neat and tidy, affordable house in Paradise, with an easy-to-deal-with, professional landlord, Aunty Lydia's Ohana is for you and your family.
