About this property

STEPS FROM STUNNING MOLOAA BAY

Formerly "Hale Houston" Moloaa Beach Hideaway is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath home situated just steps away from beautiful Moloaa Bay on the northeast shore of Kauai.
Walk up a flight of stairs to enter this 1200 sq.ft. spacious, air conditioned well appointed home with an open floor plan, high vaulted ceilings and a sweeping wrap around lanai with access from every room in the house. The lanai is partially covered for protection with separate lounging and dinning areas. The spacious home is comfortably furnished with wood floors throughout. Views of mountains, coconut grove gardens, ad the meandering Moloa'a stream fill every window. You will enjoy peek-a-boo ocean views from the master bedroom and outside dining area.
As well as the visual beauty, the sounds of the surf will be a constant reminder of the magic of nature. Calming your mind and lulling you off to sleep.
Just a two minute walk down the driveway to the stunning crescent white sand beach where you are likely to see breaching whales during the winter months, or spinner dolphins that often come and spend the day.
Moloaa Bay has it all: Awe inspiring sunrises, swimming, snorkeling, fishing, kayaking, body and board surfing, shelling, or just relaxing and listening to the surf. For those who love to hike there is a coastline trail that begins at the north end of the beach with more breathtaking views along the way.
Moloa'a Bay is a very special and unique area of Kauai. Because of limited street parking, this quiet neighborhood has retained the uncrowded laid back feeling of old Hawai'i.
After a day of touring the island or just enjoying your semi private beach right here, Moloa'a Beach Hideaway is your private retreat with all the comforts of home.
Call or email for more information! Aloha!

This was a fun property to stay at! It had all of the amenities we needed and was very comfortable for my family and I. It was just a short walk down to the beach which almost felt private. The property was a bit far from where we wanted to spend our days, but it was also nice to be in a quiet secluded area. I would definitely recommend this property!

Great house in Moloa'a

This was one of the best rentals we've ever stayed at, easily top-3. The location was phenomenal, truly steps from the beach. Covenient set-up for a family, well-stocked kitchen, tons of towels and beach equipment. The outdoor shower was a nice touch to clean up sand-covered children. Highly recommended.

Amazing!

The house and location was amazing! Perfect for a family or for two couples. The house was clean, spacious, and had everything you could possibly want. And being so close the beach and the fairly quiet bay was just as great! We loved everything about the stay.

One of the best VRBOs we have ever stayed at! The beach in not even a five minute walk and was the nicest beach by far we went to (we went to 4 different beache). A little off the beaten path as far as getting to restaurants, but that is what we wanted. Lots of options within 29 minutes. Largest crowd we saw at the beach was maybe 20 people! Extremely relaxing. Will definitely book again!

About the host

Hosted by Deborah Jacintho

Host profile image

Aloha, My name is Deborah and I am the property manager for Moloa'a Beach Hideaway. I have managed vacation rentals for 25 years and enjoy making visitors feel welcome and well informed about the island.

Why they chose this property

Moloa'a Beach Hideaway is centrally located to the east and north shores of Kauai. 15 minutes in either direction takes you to shops, restaurants more beaches and activities. You will be staying in a quiet laid back neighborhood which is fairly private because there is no street parking. The beach is sparsely populated even in the busy season.

What makes this property unique

A two minute walk to the beach where you will enjoy snorkeling, kayaking, shelling, body and board surfing, hiking the coastline trail, or just relaxing and enjoying the sounds of the surf. In the winter months you are likely to see breaching whales, or spinner dolphins that often come and spend the day in the bay. Rise early and stroll down to the bay and enjoy spectacular sunrises!
