“5 Stars
The cottage is a beautiful jewel box, just steps from the most gorgeous beaches on the island. The home has just been completely re-done, and it is out of the pages of a magazine. Every detail from the spa-like bathroom, to the super comfortable beds, luxury linens and towels, to the high-end kitchen appliances, is brand new and beautiful. There are yoga mats, and beach chairs, and umbrellas - every detail is so thoughtful.The location is perfect - tucked in a peaceful neighborhood just 10 mins from Hanalei.We had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back - highly recommend!”

“If you are traveling as a family, look no further. Hale Ho’olapanai is in an amazing location. We spent our days surfing at Hanalei Bay and eating at the great nearby spots, but the real magic was having such a beautiful, peaceful place to return to for afternoon naps. The house is well-stocked and having a washer and dryer on-site was a lifesaver for all our beach gear and towels. The yard is huge, and the easy walk to the beach for evening strolls made our trip so relaxing. Clean, private, and perfect for a family—we will definitely be back!”

“This is my fourth time to Kauai and this has been my favorite stay by far. This house was phenomenal! It was very spacious, clean, and had old Hawaiian charm in a premium location close to the beach on the north shore in Haena. Though it was right off Kuhio hwy, it was quiet and felt secluded. The location gave a more local experience away from the resorts and shops. The rental company was quick to respond to any needs and the house was stocked with anything needed. It was such an amazing spot with outstanding views of my favorite part of the island. I can't wait to stay here again!!!”

“This location on the North shore was amazing! The only thing that would beat it would be to be on the beach. It is just yards away from a very secluded beach and a short walk to Tunnels beach, our favorite with the snorkeling and amazing views. The views on the morning runs were incredible but be smart about the cars heading into the beaches and state park. The place was spacious, clean, and quiet but a little rustic. We feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to experience the North shore at this location. Can't wait to come back!”

“The house was perfect for us! We had a lot of rain while in Kauai, and were very glad we chose the bungalow when we weren't able to go out hiking, etc. The beach was steps away, and the porch with hammock was great for being outside and watching the rain. The living space was spacious, the high ceilings and windows didn't make you feel like you were stuck inside. The property had everything we needed... AND, it was very clean and well-maintained. I could go on and on, but this review asks for summary of property. Bottom line, no complaints!”

“The space is clean and well maintained. The locale is great if looking for privacy and away from the hustle and bustle. You are fairly removed from restaurants and food options, but the kitchen is great for cooking. Overall loved my stay and would stay again!”

“Hi Joanne, We had a great trip. Really enjoyed the house. Your attention to detail made the stay very nice. House was very well appointed. Clean windows, clean house, good internet, comfortable bed, lots of soaps, detergents, etc. Every kitchen gadget at hand, gas in the BBQ, lots of towels, washer and dryer worked, flashlights and working batteries for when the power went off. We would stay again on a future trip”
