Great Location, Upstairs living area is actually bigger and more open that it even appears in photos. We were a group of 2 families and had way more space than we could use. There were 2 additional families staying in a nearby home and we could easily accommodate all 4 families for dinner or an escape from a passing rain shower.
We really enjoyed our week at Tiki Home. The 4 bedrooms downstairs were all sparkling clean, spacious and comfortable. The upstairs great room was a fun and comfortable place to spend time, with a fully stocked kitchen, multiple seating areas, and great natural light.Hanalei Bay beach is just a few minutes walk away, and the shops and restaurants in town are also very walkable. We appreciated the availability of beach towels, boogie boards, cruiser bikes and snorkeling gear. We definitely hope to stay here again. Mahalo, Greg.
We had the BEST stay at Tiki Home. Greg was the most awesome and communicative host. The house was just a few minutes walking distance to town and to the beach - could not be more convenient. Beds were super comfy. The shared living space upstairs was a total highlight for our family between daytime excursions. Would love love love to come back and stay again. Mahalo
The kitchen was well equipped and very organized. We cooked most of our meals with daily fresh fish from the Dolphin. We loved the large open living floor. The carpeted section was particularly good for the 9-month old, and the room to run was particularly good for the 2- year old, plus all the adults could keep an eye on them both easily. There was a baby gate to cover the stairs. Beautiful views with windows all around enabled us to enjoy the tropics even while inside. Loved the easy walk into town and to the beach, and the beach gear.
This is the fourth rental I’ve stayed in in Hanalei, and it was easily the best. The bedrooms were comfortable, the living room is extremely spacious, and the views from the outdoor deck are beautiful. It was also stocked full of kitchen and beach essentials. Can’t recommend it enough!
Unique home with an awesome open living space on second floor. Great area to hang out with family and a wonderful 360 view of the surrounding area. Plenty of louvered windows upstairs to ventilate house even in July. Location is perfect for access to either the town or the beach.
Our family of six had an amazing time in the Tiki house! We spent a couple of days lounging around in the house as the home and surrounding view of the mountains and plants and trees was enjoyable without having to go anywhere else! The beach is a short walk away and the town of Hanalei is almost around the corner from the house. Dont get me wrong, we did a lot more on our vacation, but coming back home to enjoy the Tiki house was a highlight of our vacation!
This was the perfect house for our large family of teenage/adult children. The huge open living area made it easy for us to hang out together without being cramped and we were in a the perfect location. Highly recommend to anyone with a family or larger group.
Perfect location and great owner. First time to Kauai for our family of 7. Hanalei was a so peaceful and the Tiki house fits in perfectly with the vibe of the town. Definitely will make another trip.
Loved the Tiki House! Great for our family with lots of space upstairs for gathering both inside and outside on the deck. Wonderful views of the surrounding lush hillsides and gardens. Kitchen had vitamix, rice maker, coffee and all the pots and pans we needed for making our own meals. Loved, loved loved the assortment of bicycles below for quick, easy access to beach and town.Felt like the house allowed us the full Hanalei experience. Grateful!

Pretty Cool Place!
The upstairs is the best part of this house. We also liked the close proximity to both the beach and downtown. We would stay here again for sure.
We had a wonderful stay at the Tiki home! There were 2 families age ranges from 8 months to 8 yrs… the big open floor plan up on top was great for kids to have room to play. All bedrooms were downstairs which is great if you need some separation for naps etc. and house was outfitted with everything you need for the beach which was very convenient. Hanalei is magical and the house worked very well for us!
Excellent location— walk to town and beaches. Bikes a huge plus. Big living space and kitchen very well stocked.

About the host
Hosted by Greg Pronko
We love Hanalei and purchased this home to be able to enjoy it throughout the year. We use the home 4-5 times a year ourselves. So unlike most vacation home owners we are constantly upgrading the home and keeping it maintained against the elements. We know the island well and can help make sure you have an enjoyable stay. Our goal is not to maximize profits but to make sure the right people find the right place to stay even if that means suggesting other places to stay.
Mahalo, Greg & Michele
Why they chose this property
This is the Number 1 beach in all of America. It is one of the most beautiful places on earth and so easy to get to compared to other similar destinations like Tahiti, Bali, Thailand, Vietnam etc. We bought this home because we love to surf and be healthy. Hanalei is perfect for enjoying the outdoors, whether you are surfing, paddleboarding, hiking, canoeing, kayakiing, golfing, running, biking, etc. It is also quiet and relaxing to the soul. The food here is one of the main attractions for us. We skip all the conventional stores and eat almost entirely off of local produce when we come to Hanalei. It is our 'detox' from our stressful lives in San Francisco. Eating live real food grown fresh and organically on the island is amazing. Both the fruits and vegetables seem to have more nutrients and flavor then anything we have had from a conventional store. For protein we also stay local... The Hanalei Fish Market has fresh daily caught fish straight from local water, and they are also now selling local Kauai Beef that is raised humanely on a beautiful open range ranch just up the road from our house. This is the real deal! Best burger you have ever had type of meat. Once you visit Hanalei for the first time you will totally understand why anyone would want to own a home here. It is the place.
What makes this property unique
LOCATION: The best part of the Tiki Home for us is the fact that it is so centrally located. At the end of our street is the Saturday farmers market that has some of the best produce in the world... so fresh! Just around the corner from the home is Pine Trees beach and equal distance is the little path the locals call 'The Cape' Walking into town is just as easy as walking to the beach. Town is a short 700 foot walk from the home. All of these are even shorter on a bike! The best restaurants on the north Shore are just 700 foot walk. Think about how easy that is if you want to have a Mai Tai at dinner and don't want to be driving all the way back to Princeville or Haena. Hanalei is voted number 1 beach in all of America so many times now that they retired it to permanent status. If you don't stay at the Tiki Home you should at least stay in Hanalei.
ARTISTIC & UNIQUE: The TIki Home is funky cool! This place is built like no other home. Kids love the lava rock entrance and Lava Rock shower in the Master Bedroom. The upstairs open floor plan is really cool. The home has custom carved beams everywhere inside and out.
QUIET: Hanalei is a very sleepy town, so it is very quiet at night. Tiki Home is the place to be if you are looking for quiet solitude and peace. However be aware that most neighbors around Hanalei get pretty annoyed at late night partying, so if that is the type of place you are looking for this might not be the best fit.
AMMENITIES: We use the home ourselves pretty often. We live in San Francisco and fly over using miles several times a year. That means we like to keep nice stuff in the home because we use it too, especially the kitchen. It is difficult fighting the elements in Hanalei with the ocean air and north shore rains at night but we hope we are slowly winning the battle compared to other homes which can get run down if owners are not keeping up. Being able to visit often helps with this battle.
