Sitting above the street with wonderful views of the bay and mountains, this comfortable home provided the perfect accommodations for our young family of five. We loved being able to easily access the beach, the short walk to town and lounging in the comfortable living room. The backyard is spacious and the home feels surprisingly private. You wouldn't get much more paying twice as much across the street.

Owner response:Sarah......Mahalo again for staying in our home. We are so pleased that you enjoyed the house and location. Also glad you had such wonderful weather. Hope you will return again next year and thanks you for the very nice Review. Perry

A comfortable and delightful home with a Hanalei Bay view; easy walking distance of the beach and town center. Beach amenities, chairs, umbrellas, and snorkel gear are provided and in good condition. All in all a perfect get away location surrounded by many recreational opportunities including numerous beaches and Napali Coast.

Amazing Hanalei Bay

Myself, Fiancee and 9 month old son stayed at the property for two months from October 15th 2010 to Dec 15th 2010. I couldn't have picked a better place for us to stay. The location is fantastic being only a 100 yards from a small path that leads you right onto the middle of Hanalei Bay beach itself, a 200 yard walk in all. In my opinion this is the best part of the beach as it is hard to access with little parking nearby, so this part of the beach is always the quietest. If you like the beach more busy then a stroll on the beach 300 yards in either direction will get you this. The beach itself is one of the best I've ever seen, ever changing, always beautiful, never busy. The home is super comfortable and cosy with a great deck and huge garden out the back and is only a short 5 min stroll from the centre of town, again perfect. The owners very kindly let you use any gear they have to hand, umbrellas, a couple of surfboards, boogie boards, huge beach canopy for the beach...always a great help when you're on holiday with children. At this time of year its possible to surf almost everyday and there are generally places for all levels along the beach. Experts can hit the reefs further offshore if necessary. This home couldn't have been better for us and I'd recommend it to anyone. The sums of money to stay on the beachfront itself are just ridiculous and this home is only a pleasant 200 yard stroll away.

Dream Holiday

Our stay at the Watson House has been a dream come true. All the beauty of Hanalei - the Bay, the mountains, the breezes, the birds, the light, soft rains - has been ours right here. The house and garden became a home for us where we were able to experience the sheer magic of the North Shore.

We just loved your home in Hanalei Bay. We rented cruiser bikes and seldom used a car. We biked several times to the end of the road in Haena to the State Park-what an awesome ride. We met so many ski friends on the beach from Jackson Hole and Telluride. You really found a special place. We called it Telluride with an ocean. We used the beach/sand toys every day. Thanks again for giving us the opportunity to experience Hanalei in the best location.
