About this property

Pristine and Charming - Walk to Beach and Town - Sleeps 4

Our charmingly furnished house with traditional Hawaiiana decor provides all the comforts of home in the world's most spectacular setting on Kauai, the 'Garden Island' of Hawaii. You will seldom need your car after arriving as charming Hanalei village is within walking distance with its excellent restaurants, lively night spots and shopping. Only a block and a half away is the world famous, crescent-shaped Hanalei Bay, ranked by National Geographic Traveler as one of the top ten beaches in the world.

This exceptional setting can only be reached over a quaint one lane bridge that connects beautiful taro fields to a lush rain forest. It is the home of many celebrities and famous writers and is noted for its amazing scenery and lush vegetation.

House is strictly limited to four people of any age -- babies are not exempt, sorry. We have a Cal King bed in one bedroom and a king in the other which can be divided into extra long twin beds for an additional charge of 100.00 plus tax. Will consider stays of less than one week between gaps of six days or less or 30 days in advance of some unrented time. We accept reservations up to twelve months in advance.

For stays over 14 nights, guests will be charged for one in-clean for $157.07, tax included. This home is a vacation rental and guests should not expect the same amenities as at a hotel including toiletries, comestibles and other supplies. We start our guests off with some hand soap and toilet paper for their arrival but otherwise it is not practical to offer supplies for the duration of their stay.

The residence is located in a tsunami inundation zone. In the event of a tsunami, evacuation information is posted in the residence.

There is currently construction on a new home on an adjacent property that is scheduled to be completed before August 1, 2025. We want to make sure that there aren’t any surprises when you arrive. So far, none of our guests have found the construction to be a nuisance. The contractor for the project has stated that working hours are limited to weekdays no earlier than 7:30 a.m. until about 3:30 p.m. No construction will take place on weekends. Hopefully you’ll be at the beach, on excursions and enjoying this beautiful island during construction times.

Amazing location

This little house was perfect for our week in Hanalei. It's a short walk to the beach and to town. The house had everything you need - well-stocked kitchen, beach towels and toys (though no handle on the wagon and the umbrella was broken), comfortable beds, outside shower. Construction in the back was sporadic and didn't really affect us. Highly recommend this place!

A Perfect Stay in one of the Most Beautiful Places in the World!

What a wonderful place, a sweet little spot with everything you need and a quick walk to one of the loveliest beaches on the islands. Not to mention town, which has amazing shops, delicious restaurants, a Big Save and a health food store! The 7 nights we stayed was not enough, we will be back! Thank you Clark for being there when we needed you!! Mahalo Jen and Gabe

Pure bliss!

We were looking for a peaceful, relaxing vacation in a beautiful setting, and we definitely got that from staying at Hale Lu Ya. The house is in a very quiet neighbourhood, that was a 5 minute walk to the beach, and a 10 minute walk to the local town. This property was extremely well maintained, and the kitchen had all the things you would possibly need during the stay, and they were all high quality and in excellent working order. When we needed to contact Clark with questions, he was very quick to respond, and was always friendly and professional. We would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend it to friends and family.

Piece of Paradise

Perfect spot to unwind with out two kiddos (2 years and 8 months). Place needs a bunch of updates (new oven, new dishwasher, new curtains that don’t fall when you touch), espresso machine, measuring cups in kitchen, more then one key!!!). Noise from neighbors is LOUD. Like you hear them all day, when their baby wakes in the middle of the night, their dinners, everything. But outdoor shower is bliss and the beach was perfect.

Close to the beach and mostly well maintained

The property was a short sweet walk to the beach and to the town of Hanalei. Mostly, it was beautiful and clearly had recently been updated. We had issues with the shower, particularly the hot water and the faucet for it, which was broken. We called maintenance and they showed up right away but were very very casual and told us we'd have to "live with it" during our stay. Thankfully, it's Hawaii and we were able to deal more or less with the cold water showers. But if hot showers are important to you, make sure it's fixed before you go. Other than that, it was a sweet well-stocked property, with a great kitchen, comfortable beds, and beautiful surroundings.

Does Not Look Anything Like Pictures!

Very average stay, screen door always came off when it was opened, fan broken, floors not clean and main bathroom not cleaned well. VERY dark inside with dark walls, most utensils did not work and had to purchase a can opener. Basic items are severly run down, even kitchen plates needed washing before used. I will not come back and stay here nor would we recommend this place. *Notice there are no comments - there's a reason!

Relaxing bungalow with all the comforts of home

This property checks all the boxes. The house is very clean and the proximity to the beach is perfect. The kitchen had every single thing you could need to cook and serve. The beds were very comfortable and the shower had great water pressure. The property manager checked in to make sure we had everything we needed upon our arrival. We will definitely be returning to this property!

Views, comfort, and walk to beach

This property is a great option for a family of four or two couples. The owner was super responsive, the house was immaculate, it's a 5 minute walk to the beach or to town, the kitchen is better stocked than ours, and the views from the lanai were a highlight of our trip. Throw in other touches like beach towels, decor, and strong ventilation that keeps the house relatively cool, and you've got a great stay. My only possible concern is how close it is to the neighbors (which seems the case for many properties). We had no issues at all, but I did wonder what would happen if our neighbors ended up being loud. I would definitely stay here again!

It’s the simple things, Tupperware, olive oil, nice pots and pans that make a weeks vacation easy. Thank you! Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!
