About this property

Pristine and Charming - Walk to Beach and Town - Sleeps 4

Our charmingly furnished house with traditional Hawaiiana decor provides all the comforts of home in the world's most spectacular setting on Kauai, the 'Garden Island' of Hawaii. You will seldom need your car after arriving as charming Hanalei village is within walking distance with its excellent restaurants, lively night spots and shopping. Only a block and a half away is the world famous, crescent-shaped Hanalei Bay, ranked by National Geographic Traveler as one of the top ten beaches in the world.

This exceptional setting can only be reached over a quaint one lane bridge that connects beautiful taro fields to a lush rain forest. It is the home of many celebrities and famous writers and is noted for its amazing scenery and lush vegetation.

House is strictly limited to four people of any age -- babies are not exempt, sorry. We have a Cal King bed in one bedroom and a king in the other which can be divided into extra long twin beds for an additional charge of 100.00 plus tax. Will consider stays of less than one week between gaps of six days or less or 30 days in advance of some unrented time. We accept reservations up to twelve months in advance.

New for 2026: Air conditioning in both upstairs bedrooms and a fully renovated main bathroom featuring a spacious walk-in shower. Updated photos arriving mid-May.
The first-floor living room, kitchen, and half bath are kept comfortable with floor fans and natural island breezes.

For stays over 14 nights, guests will be charged for one in-clean for $157.07, tax included. This home is a vacation rental and guests should not expect the same amenities as at a hotel including toiletries, comestibles and other supplies. We start our guests off with some hand soap and toilet paper for their arrival but otherwise it is not practical to offer supplies for the duration of their stay.

The residence is located in a tsunami inundation zone. In the event of a tsunami, evacuation information is posted in the residence.

Amazing location

This little house was perfect for our week in Hanalei. It's a short walk to the beach and to town. The house had everything you need - well-stocked kitchen, beach towels and toys (though no handle on the wagon and the umbrella was broken), comfortable beds, outside shower. Construction in the back was sporadic and didn't really affect us. Highly recommend this place!

A Perfect Stay in one of the Most Beautiful Places in the World!

What a wonderful place, a sweet little spot with everything you need and a quick walk to one of the loveliest beaches on the islands. Not to mention town, which has amazing shops, delicious restaurants, a Big Save and a health food store! The 7 nights we stayed was not enough, we will be back!

Pure bliss!

We were looking for a peaceful, relaxing vacation in a beautiful setting, and we definitely got that from staying at Hale Lu Ya. The house is in a very quiet neighbourhood, that was a 5 minute walk to the beach, and a 10 minute walk to the local town. This property was extremely well maintained, and the kitchen had all the things you would possibly need during the stay, and they were all high quality and in excellent working order. When we needed to contact Clark with questions, he was very quick to respond, and was always friendly and professional. We would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend it to friends and family.

Piece of Paradise

Perfect spot to unwind with out two kiddos (2 years and 8 months). Place needs a bunch of updates (new oven, new dishwasher, new curtains that don’t fall when you touch), espresso machine, measuring cups in kitchen, more then one key!!!). Noise from neighbors is LOUD. Like you hear them all day, when their baby wakes in the middle of the night, their dinners, everything. But outdoor shower is bliss and the beach was perfect.

Response from VrboOwner on Jul 29, 2022
Lara, thank you for staying with us and thank you for five stars. The appliances here are all up to date and working well but as for the dishwasher, we do need our guests to use dishwasher pods or powder as opposed to liquid dish soap or there will be problems with sudsing, flooding etc. We did not promote an espresso machine but we do have a coffee maker and measuring cups etc in a well equipped kitchen. If there was a problem with curtains or anything else like that we are glad to get someone out to do a repair if we are notified. This is an area of full time residents with houses and lots that are typically spaced like most American suburbs so you may hear some of our neighbors as you are likely to hear them in any suburban neighborhood. We appreciate your input.

Close to the beach and mostly well maintained

The property was a short sweet walk to the beach and to the town of Hanalei. Mostly, it was beautiful and clearly had recently been updated. We had issues with the shower, particularly the hot water and the faucet for it, which was broken. We called maintenance and they showed up right away but were very very casual and told us we'd have to "live with it" during our stay. Thankfully, it's Hawaii and we were able to deal more or less with the cold water showers. But if hot showers are important to you, make sure it's fixed before you go. Other than that, it was a sweet well-stocked property, with a great kitchen, comfortable beds, and beautiful surroundings.

Response from VrboOwner on Apr 3, 2020
Christina, thank you for your input. We are sorry about the hot water problem during your stay. The problem was related to the recent remodeling of the kitchen. We tried to get it fixed as quickly as possible but had to wait for the delivery of a part from the mainland which can take much longer than we like. The problem has been fixed since your stay. We hope to have you back again soon.

Does Not Look Anything Like Pictures!

Very average stay, screen door always came off when it was opened, fan broken, floors not clean and main bathroom not cleaned well. VERY dark inside with dark walls, most utensils did not work and had to purchase a can opener. Basic items are severly run down, even kitchen plates needed washing before used. I will not come back and stay here nor would we recommend this place. *Notice there are no comments - there's a reason!
Response from VrboOwner on Apr 3, 2020
We are sorry if there were some minor maintenance issues at this house during your stay but wish that you had contacted us immediately about them instead of letting us know about them after your stay. We would have been glad to take care of them all and if there was something our housekeepers missed, they would have come back in a minute to take care of the job. Most of our guests are delighted with this house, find it especially clean on their arrival and know that it lacks for nothing in terms of the comforts and amenities of their own homes, and that is why we get the same guests year after year. The owners stay at their properties a few times a year and make sure that all items are in good shape and working order and will replace them when they have to. They do not skimp. Both our housekeeper and our contractor live in Hanalei and if we had been made aware of the screen door and the fan, they would have taken care of those issues right away and with a smile. We were all surprised to get a negative response like this, the only one in the nine years I have been managing this property. We wish you a happier experience on your next vacation.

Relaxing bungalow with all the comforts of home

This property checks all the boxes. The house is very clean and the proximity to the beach is perfect. The kitchen had every single thing you could need to cook and serve. The beds were very comfortable and the shower had great water pressure. The property manager checked in to make sure we had everything we needed upon our arrival. We will definitely be returning to this property!

Views, comfort, and walk to beach

This property is a great option for a family of four or two couples. The owner was super responsive, the house was immaculate, it's a 5 minute walk to the beach or to town, the kitchen is better stocked than ours, and the views from the lanai were a highlight of our trip. Throw in other touches like beach towels, decor, and strong ventilation that keeps the house relatively cool, and you've got a great stay. My only possible concern is how close it is to the neighbors (which seems the case for many properties). We had no issues at all, but I did wonder what would happen if our neighbors ended up being loud. I would definitely stay here again!
