Excellent Stay

Lovely home, amazing location (very short walk to everything in Hanalei); a no brainer if the property is available. A bit of a bummer to be in Hanalei during landslide / road closure stuff but could not have asked for better stay. Highly recommended!

Great property and location!

We recently stayed at this charming house in Hanalei and overall had a delightful experience. The location was just perfect - walkable to all the shops and the beach. The house itself was great - very comfortable. Beautiful private yard and large covered lanai with a large dining table to eat outside. The kitchen was stocked! Anything you need, you will find it! Need a garlic press? There were TWO! I did read another review stating the equipment looked like it was from a thrift shop - and that may be, it was a bit worn, but I was not expecting brand new everything. I loved having the variety - worked perfectly for us as we cooked every night. I also loved that they had a compost bin (we compost at home and I loved the ability to continue my usual habits). There are 3 bedrooms - the one with 2 twins also has a large desk (was convenient for my husband who had to take a few work calls). There were a few minor issues - the oven was not super clean and the dishwasher latch did not work, therefore we had to wash most dishes by hand. The furniture could use an upgrade, but most places we have rented in Kauai in this price range are similar. These were not dealbreakers for me and to be fair, I did try to call the property management company to alert them, missed the call back and did not try again. I was enjoying my vacation too much to bother with the small things! Despite these issues, I would recommend the house and would definitely stay here again!

5 star location, 1 star home interior furnishings

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: RENTERS BEWARE! Book this house for the excellent Hanalei location and great property mgt only! The photos are old and show a bright home, it is not in reality. This is the 7th home we've rented in Hanalei, so I've had others to compare this 1 to. The furniture is VERY shabby, dated, faded & worn, especially on the lanai, which is where you want to spend time, not inside, that's for sure! Every chair cushion is faded & mildewed. Such a disappointment when you first enter the home! The floors are a dark cherry & seem to suck all the natural light out. Dingy walls, needs a fresh coat of paint. Rugs are grimy feeling, dark, dated and should be thrown out. Owners clutter is everywhere! Ugh, tote bins full of their stuff in every closet, bathroom cabinet full of their old stuff, just gross! The kitchen pans, dishes, glasses feel like they came from a thrift store. The very responsive property manager was kind enough to bring us new bed pillows, wine glasses & frying pans. No headboard on 1 of the beds, the "Beach Equipment" room is full of junk! Broken boogie boards, rusty never maintained bike, etc. Old garden hoses, 2X4s, roof tiles, worn out patio furniture & other junk greet you when you pull your car into the carport, a pleasant aloha spirit guest experience is definitely not on this homeowners mind. Nothing is high end here except the price we paid and the location. If you truly don't care about the interior and just want to be 5 houses from town and 6 houses to the beach, book it!!

Relaxing Stay at Mala Pua Ma Ke Kai

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was comfortable and felt like we were staying in a friend's home rather than a sterile rental, an excellent location of course for our 2 year old and grandparents, the lanai was perfect for hanging with family and the outdoor shower was absolutely clutch for post-beach sand removal! We would absolutely stay again and the communication was great along the way.

Kitchen was well stocked and had everything you could need. Overall a very comfy stay for our family. Could use some refreshed furnishings and cushions and cleanup of house and garden supplies downstairs.

Fantastic Location and Wonderful Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location can't be beat. S very short walk to Hanalei town and a block to the beach (Pavilions). The house was wonderful and had amazing outdoor spaces. A very large covered lanai with a table that seats 8 people and is on the second floor - where all fo the living spaces are - that has private views out to the mountains and the great backyard with beautiful gardens.
