About this property
Keone = Sands - Ocean views, walk across grass to sand and sea, no stairs
Keone is the downstairs of a beach house duplex. There are two bedrooms, one bath, a kitchen, dining area and living room. There is a good sized covered lanai and great ocean views from the living room and the lanai. Just step off the lanai onto the grass & walk to the beach in front. Standard occupancy is 4.
Keone, the downstairs beach house, is great for easy access. No steps between your bed and the sand! It has a cool relaxed feel. In fact, Keone means the sand or sands in Hawaiian. Hanalei town with its and restaurants & stores are only about 4 - 5 blocks away.
There is a King in the first bedroom with a flatscreen. Twins in the second bedroom for the kids or single friends. If you are two couples, the twins can be made up as a King. There is an ottoman that becomes a twin bed in the living room for younger folk. (Listed rate is for the standard occupancy of 4, but home can accommodate up to 5. Extra guest fee beyond four is $20/night + tax per person. This fee is collected after booking. Only 1 extra person is allowed.)
Your lanai is a great spot for lounging, lunch, or anytime. Some of our guests get a pretty cloth & cover the picnic table on the grass in front of the lanai for dinner and set a bunch of flowers on it. With others the lanai is home to sand toys and surf boards.
Just walk past the palms & ironwoods to the sand. If you've has enough sun, but not enough beach, under the trees is where you will be. Great place for reading or Scrabble. There are beach chairs for your use.
There is a combined tub shower as well an outdoor hot & cold shower on the wash house.
Not all of vacation life is with out some slight toil. If you need to wash clothes, there are 2 sets of coin op washer & dryer in a cute little building just steps away.
You never know what you will see on the beach. Many people come here to get married, renew vows, celebrate anniversaries, birthdays, even to get baptized! Canoe races, surfers, kite surfers, fishermen, volleyball players. Even with all this activity, most people experience the beach with fewer people on it than they could have dreamed. If you want action go out to the beach and head right. If you want space, go left toward the river mouth.
If you are our guests at Keone, you will enjoy, sun, rain, surf, rainbows, and a great little town set in a fabulously beautiful location.

Thanks for the 5-Star Review🌈!
We are grateful you appreciated the privacy of the beautiful lawn right on the ocean.
We hope to have you & hubby back to any of our 10 Hanalei or Princeville rentals soon.
Great place...perfectly Hanalei Bay and ocean front. Its nice to simply walk out the door with chairs to one of the greatest beaches! Walking to town is easy and quite nice after a great meal. Owners are quick to communicate and everything was smooth....

YAY!!! we love seeing your happy faces. Thanks for the 5 Star review
We loved our stay in this cute cottage. It was very clean and had everything we needed. Excellent location and access to beach. We enjoyed hanging out on the lanai listening to the waves and watching the sky. Would absolutely stay here again!

Mahalo for your *****5-Star**** review🌈! That lanai is such a great local-style chill spot with just the right combo of sun and shade access. Do you want to book for next year while the lower $ Sept/Oct dates are still available?
Enjoyed our stay in Hanalei. Beautiful lawn area and of course the beach was lovely. The property was very clean and efficient. We rented some bikes and took nice rides around the area and to town!
Great little place with a fantastic location. Nothing fancy but its clean, comfy and cozy. This little place has everything you need for an amazing vacation in Hanalei.
If you want to stay ON the beach, this is it! It is not the most luxurious place in Kauai, but it is very comfortable, has everything you need, and if your goal is to be outside and at the beach, this is as good as it gets.
We had a wonderful time at this house. It's perfect for a family with 2 small kids - they were able to run to the beach in the morning in their pajamas! The house itself is very clean and comfortable.
This was probably at least our 5th stay at the Kobyashi’s “compound.” All the properties are in very good shape and well appointed. The views and sound of the surf are awe inspiring. Mahalo nui loa.
Come for the location (steps from Hanalei Bay) and the experience of living on what is one of best, most beautiful beaches anywhere. The home was clean and well appointed but definitely not fancy. But fancy is beside the point when you are surrounded by so much natural beauty. Great experience overall.
What a location!!! We loved it so much will hopefully make it a family tradition. House is super comfortable and clean. Might be time to update some of the kitchenware but had everything we needed. Outdoor shower was a hit with the whole family.

We loved this simple and relaxing stay. The pictures were very accurate. Our kids were able to play frisbee and run on the lawn outside. We could hear the waves crashing and the birds. It was perfect for us, away from the crowds and noise.

We had a great time right on the beach near the water in Hanalei, my favorite part was that there were a bunch of toys available that we could play with the water or on the big green lawn out front. we rented bikes and were able to bike to restaurants and all over the bay! We had such a lovely time I would absolutely stay here again, and suggest it to anyone! We will be back!
This property may not be for everyone, but we loved it! It was quiet, close to downtown Hanalei and the beach out front is perfect for boogie boarding. You can also walk the entire length of Hanalei Bay. The property had all the necessary things for a great stay, beach chairs, boogie boards, umbrella and beach towels. With not much ambient light, the stars at night were amazing! The only reason I gave it a 4 overall rating is that it is a little dated, but for those who just want to kick back and relax, this is the perfect place!
This property was exactly as advertised - which means perfect for us. It's not fancy or posh, but it's perfect for a beach house: clean, all the amenities, a short walk to the beach, and the sound of the waves lulling you to sleep. All the communications with the property manager were prompt and friendly. They even sent someone over to fix the safe when we noticed a problem with it. My boys (surfers) loved this place too - and I hope we may all be able to return soon.
