  This house was the perfect place for us to celebrate our 23rd wedding anniversary. I only feel bad that I forgot to write a review at the time! This trip was more the "romantic getaway" trip, but this house would also be PERFECT for kids! We stayed in the "house"--there is a matching "cottage" on the property as well (we referred our friends to the cottage--in fact, they are there today and LOVE it!!!). This house is in the PERFECT location: a 5 minute walk from town in one direction, and a 5 minute walk to the beach in the other direction! We had a rental car, but didn't even need it every day. You can literally walk in just a few minutes to the grocery store or several restaurants. The house is just across the street from an outstanding beach! Hanalei Bay beach is great--the water was warm, the sand was ample, and the crowds were sparse. There are waves breaking in some areas, while other parts of the bay don't have any waves at all. It was an OUTSTANDING beach to read, to take long walks or runs, or to swim. We were amazed that, although there were always other people on the beach, it was NEVER crowded--even on the weekend when there was a local youth surfing competition at the other end of the bay. The house had everything we needed--the bed was comfortable, the kitchen was great, and the deck was an outstanding place to hang out morning or night. We will be back again this August, and intend to rent this property many, many times in the future--both alone and with our kids, and hopefully (in a few years yet) with our kids and THEIR kids!!

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, people with disabilities, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

  Thank you for sharing your lovely home and views from the porch of the mountains and waterfalls - loved the bird song and quiet. We were welcomed by the ease and function of the house - thank you for the flowers - we treasure the memories created here.

  Thank you for sharing your wonderful house with us. We have had so much fun especially since my sister and her family are staying in the cottage in front. We celebrated birthdays and anniversaries (Pinetrees 2004). Tons of memories were made - we love the farmers' market, beaches, swimming, playing movie (Soul Surfer) in the park, family game night, the annual luau at the hanalei canoe club, my husband got to dirt bike for a day, the fern grotto, shop and much much more.

  What a magical place this island is! Thank you for your beautiful home. It was so relaxing and comfortable after our outings. Our family has never seen such natural beauty. Land, sea, and even the winds are superb. When we recollect our trip for years to come we will inhale and smile. The world speaks this islands' praises and now we do too. Such beauty. Such fun.

  Aloha and Mahalo for letting us stay in your beautiful and relaxing house for our 8 days in Kauai! The view is marvelous, the beach is amazing and the town is a wonderful place for shopping and hanging out. We can totally understand why the Hawaiian Islands are a big tourist attraction. Hawaii's just so pretty. We had a really great time here and hope to come again soon!

  Another great visit with our best friends in all the world. And we're already looking forward to coming back again for a FOURTH time! (see Jan 2009) Wonderful paddling up the Hanalei and Kalihiwai Rivers. Great times at the beach and Kilauea Lighthouse. Be sure to try the tapas at BarAcuda!
