Paulele is a beautiful Hawaiian-style home just across the beach road from breathtaking Hanalei Bay! This tasteful and comfortable home has four bedrooms, five baths, a fully-equipped kitchen, and it comes with everything you’ll need for a wonderful visit to this "Old Hawaii" Garden Island paradise.

You’ll enjoy spectacular ocean, mountain, and waterfall views from many areas of the home and the world-renowned Hanalei Point surf break is in full view from the convenience of your front porch! With the short path to the beach just one lot over, you're 100 yards from the bay. There are two identical master suites, each with king beds, walk-in closets, spacious bathrooms, as well as private entrances and lanais. The third bedroom has two twin beds and full bath with tub, while the fourth bedroom has a queen bed, shower bath, and private entrance.

For your comfort and convenience, there is an outdoor bamboo enclosed hot water shower, laundry room, covered shuffleboard court, and covered hammock, as well as horseshoe pits and lots of beach gear (beach towels, mats, chairs, umbrellas, and kids boogie boards). The oceanview dining area seats eight, with five additional stools at the bar and a four chair game table with plenty of games, puzzles, and books. Many guests feel our home to be a destination in itself with so many comfortable areas to spend time.


And best of all, the warm water and beautiful sand beach of Hanalei Bay is just across the street! Generally, the ocean is calm in the summer and surf is bigger in the winter, sometimes reaching ‘big wave’ status. Located within ten minutes of several north shore beaches, you’ll have many options for swimming, surfing, wind and kite surfing, snorkeling, and many other activities. The famous NaPali Coast trail has its main access ten minutes down the road. A short walk from the home is quaint Hanalei town with its many shops and restaurants.

Hanalei Bay is one of Hawaii’s most beautiful and pristine beaches, with only private homes, no hotels or condos, built on the beach. With Paulele, you’ll have the pleasure of walking to the beach any time of day, from the solitude of sunrise to the glory of a Hanalei sunset, while having all the comforts of home. And unlike those in Princeville and other parts of the island who have to drive to the beach at Hanalei, you’re already there! We love our Hanalei home and trust that like guests before you, you will too! For more photos or a virtual tour, see our web site link below. Aloha!

Why the Owner Chose Hanalei

At Paulele, the beach is always just a few steps away any time of day. Whether an early morning stroll, a mid-day swim or surf, or a gorgeous sunset, it's all right out in front of you. If you need groceries or want to treat yourself to a dinner out, no need to get in the car. Just walk into town and it's all there. We love our location for these and many reasons!

The Unique Benefits at this House

We hope you enjoy the activities that we've offered right at Paulele. We love shuffleboard, horseshoes, bocce ball, badminton and croquet, so we have all of them right there for you to enjoy in our fantastic yard. Do you love to read? I do, so you'll find a bookshelf waiting for you. Plenty of deck space, both sunny and covered, for you to relax and a bamboo enclosed hot water shower that we built ourselves are other nice features. And can anyone really get away without internet? It's there if you need it!

 

Owner's Map of Hanalei

We first fell in love with Kauai during our family's first visit in May, 1992. While my husband insisted we couldn't possibly leave our business for a two week vacation, I planned a week on Napili Bay on Maui and a second week on the South Shore of Kauai. In the middle of that second week, we ventured up to the North Shore. I can still remember the feeling as we first arrived at Hanalei Bay. "Ahh, this is it!" I proclaimed, and, for us, it has remained so.

The beauty of the Bay was so stunning it felt surreal. The lush green mountains were lined with waterfalls and the Bay seemed to stretch on forever. There was hardly anyone on the beach and no hotels down on the Bay. It felt as if we had gone back in time to the 'Old Hawaii' of my dreams. ...Plantation style homes dotting the beachfront with lots of wide open spaces...

By 1996, we knew we would always want to come to Hanalei and we started looking to buy a home. We started renting the home that is now Paulele, but it was not for sale. We looked for 3 years at just about everything that came up for sale in Hanalei, but didn't like anything as much as this house. "We need to trust", I told my husband. "Have faith that if it's meant to be, it will happen".

Well, it did. Without ever going on the market, the previous owners finally succumbed to our persistence and sold us the home in 1999. We named it "Paulele" which means to believe, have faith and trust.

In Hanalei, magic happens. Come visit. We hope you enjoy our home and Hanalei as much as we do.

    • We have enjoyed 9 wonderful days at Paulele in beautiful Hanalei. We had considered several other houses when making our travel arrangements, and could not be happier with our choice. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Our family of five had planned to do more sightseeing and other activities while here, but we found that we could not tear ourselves away from beautiful Hanalei Bay. We walked everywhere we went in town, including the wonderful farmer's market, and a short stroll across the street to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. We have felt truly spoiled the entire time we've been here. Anne was very gracious and helpful, even calling during our stay to make sure we were happy with Paulele. We highly recommend it and hope to return again.

    • We just spent two-and-a-half wonderful weeks at Paulele. Having been on the island of Kauai before, we knew we wanted to stay in Hanalei. In this laid-back town, Paulele occupies a perfect location: just a short stroll from the beach, yet still in comfortable walking distance to all the stores and restaurants. The house itself exceeded our expectations. It was very airy, spacious and comfortable. Everything you could ever need or want for your vacation is provided, from beach towels and chairs to board games and books. Our young children especially enjoyed the hammock on the lanai and the basket with legos. I enjoyed picking papayas for breakfast and collecting fresh avocados from the trees in the back yard. If we ever have the opportunity to come back to Kauai, we will definitely stay at Paulele again.

    • I came to Hanalei for the first time in 1986. Westin had opened up at Lihue and we took a drive. On that drive we found Hanalei Bay. I have been back to Kauai 10 times since and 2 wives later, I introduced Rhoni to Hanalei for the first last week. I had given her a narrative on what was around the corner here and there, but when drove into the driveway at Paulele, she was taken aback. The home is just what you would expect from a caring family who is willing to share a pineapple week in their Hanalei home. Anne, great job. Every morning, we would wake, have our breakfast and head to the beach. Rhoni had never seen sand so fine. The beach, as perfect as it can get, had very few visitors, so it felt like it was our beach and we said aloha to all our new friends that walked by us on 'our' beach. We took a 1 day trip to the other side and immediately new why we were at Hanalei. Rhoni and I had the most romantic, sweetheart week of our lives. Oh yea, I have 2 little girls, 7 and 9, who weren't there for this trip. I definately will be taking the kids next time. Postcards, CJ's, and Bar-cuda were best for dinners, Tahiti Nui for the local crowd and local music, weekend rock and roll didn't cut it with us. Beach all day, cocktails at dusk, outstanding meals, and the relaxing atmosphere of Paulele. It just doesn't get any better than that. I highly recommend Paulele for those who want to experience the true Hanalei and everything around it has to offer. One doesn't have to venture out to have a relaxing time with their loved ones, its right there in front of you. Take it from us, this is truly the way to go.

    • We can think of no better place to enjoy one of the most breathtakingly beautiful places in the world. Your home's location, landscaping, floor plan, and ambience are as close to perfection as a Hanalei sunset. We spent an unforgettable seven days here with our two adult sons and our future daughter-in-law, all of whom were overwhelmed with the charm and utility of Paulele. Aloha and mahalo in a big, big way from the Butler family of San Antonio, Texas. Richard, Tina, Clint , Dustin, and Cheng

    • The house was fabulous. The overall consensus was that it was the best home we’ve had in 10 years of Hanalei visits. The lanai is terrific and we enjoyed the various sitting areas of the house. We’d love to visit again.

    • The house was perfect. Great location, great layout, well kept and private. Everyone enjoyed being so close to the beach, and the shuffle board. We would definitely stay here again.

    • We have been to Hanalei many times, but our recent visit and stay at your house was the best trip we have had. I chose this house because I needed a 4 bedroom house, and wanted to be near the beach and the town, so that everyone could get along without a car and do their own thing. It was great. The location is wonderful. Everyting you need for a great vacation is already there. The house is large enough that everyone felt that they had enough space and privacy. Early morning walks on the beach, and sun sets over Bali Hai. Pretty hard to beat.

    • As we left Hanalei, and the beautiful home, Paulele, we were already beginning to plan our return trip! The house is beautiful,and we loved the garden and the incredible birds frequenting the tropical trees and plants. The house is furnished with everything you need including dsl internet service, and Anne provides you with wonderful local recommendations which added a lot of pleasure and adventure to our trip. Five bathrooms, and six showers made morning "rush hour" very easy for our family. The bedrooms are each very private and every room is nicely furnished and very well maintained. Our friends who have stayed in hotels in Hawaii are envious when they see our photos of Paulele. We loved walking to town for morning coffee at Java Kai, or a lite meal at Bar Acuda, and appreciated the equally short walk to the beach for evening sunsets by the pier. The beach was never crowded, in fact at times, we had it mostly to ourselves.....this place is a treasure!! We hope to return soon to Hanalei and to Paulele!!!

    • We recently celebrated our daughters' graduations from 8th grade and high school with a two week trip to Kauai ... the highlight being our week at Paulele in Hanalei. The location was perfect -- easy access to the beach and a short walk to town. The yard was beautiful and the views enchanting. The multiple bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect -- no waiting for a shower, the two master bedrooms were delightful and spacious. There were so many different places to hang out everyone could find their own special place. The true magic of the vacation is Hanalei itself. The beach was long and uncrowded; the water clear with a sandy bottom that seemed to go forever. We rented a surf board at Hanalei Surf Shop for 3 days for $35 dollars and both our daughters were up and surfing on the gentle summer waves. Mornings at "little" Lumahai (I think it's really called Kahalahala Beach) were beautiful; sunsets on the beach spectacular and the night skies unreal -- so many stars! We barbecued the fresh fish from the Dolphin Fish Market (their sushi rolls are delicious as is the fish chowder); grilled hot dogs on a stick at our beach bonfires and ventured over to pizza at Tahiti Nuis (which still has the best mai tais) and an incredible dinner in Kilaweia at the Lighthouse Bistro. Shave ice, Lappert's Ice Cream, mixed plate -- Hanalei has it all. We found great body surfing in Kalihiwai Bay and just north of Kapaa at Allomanu. Poipu Beach was way too crowded after Hanalei, as was Kalapaki. Ono Burgers in Anahola make the drive worth it! I first came to Hanalei in 1982 and while there certainly have been changes, it still feels relaxed and uncrowded ... until you drive to the end of the road and try to find a parking place at 9:00 am. I was shocked. Anne couldn't have been more helpful in making the arrangements for the house which was spotless on our arrival. The gardener pointed out the papaya tree and avocados and gave us tips on what to do. The neighbors said hello and we felt right at home from the first moment we arrived and left feeling the true Aloha spirit! We'll be back.

    • We just returned from our stay at Paulele and I am ready to book it again for next year! What a fabulous house! Surrounded by a lush garden, you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, yet it's a 5 minute walk into town and to the beach. The house is totally equipped with everything you need...from games and puzzles for rainy days to beach chairs and towels for beach excusions. We had seven people in our party and we had PLENTY of room to spread out and enjoy the house. We loved....the outdoor shower, shave ice at Paradise Shave Ice, coffee at Java Kai, snorkeling at Tunnels, riding at Silver Falls Ranch, tubing with Kauai Back Country Adventures, Polynesia Cafe, Hanalei Mixed Plate, Tropical Taco, Fruit Frosties at Banana Joe's (near Kilauea),surfing/swimming at Hanalei Bay, reading in the hammock and the peacefulness of Paulele. Thank you, Anne, for sharing your wonderful home with us! The Gill and Rhine Families
