About this property

Beachfront Home + Cottage at Center of Hanalei Bay!

Welcome to our stunning, historic Hawaiian plantation home and cottage—nestled beachfront on over 1/3 acre at Hanalei Bay’s famous Pine Trees Park. A surfer’s dream in winter and a calm, swimmable bay in summer, this family-friendly, single-level compound includes a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home plus a charming cottage—ideal for gatherings with family and friends.

Relax on the covered lanai, surrounded by tropical beauty, with views of Hanalei Bay to the north and Namolokama Mountain’s waterfalls to the south. Whether you’re sipping morning coffee, sharing laughs after a beach day, or watching rainbows and sunsets, it’s island living at its best.

For generations, guests have returned to Nani Nani Hale to create unforgettable memories—from biking to Hanalei Pier and snorkeling at Tunnels, to evening s’mores on the beach and spotting dolphins in the bay.

Fully furnished with everything you need, the home features a complete kitchen, spacious living areas, quality linens, HDTV, high-speed WiFi, private beach access, and free onsite parking..

TSUNAMI ZONE: This property is located along the coast of Kauai in the tsunami evacuation zone.

*As with most homes on Kauai, this vacation rental is not air conditioned.

*Although this home has internet, the speed and reliability cannot be guaranteed due to the nature of our tropical environment and the service being provided by a third-party.

Location is fantastic and we enjoyed the wonderful views and all Hanalei bay has to offer. The main house was very clean and had plenty of space for the 8 of us (2 kids), only slightly cozy at dinnertime. The cottage area is a nice separate space for sleeping--we found that to be a bit more outdated and some minor things (window shades/slots in the bathroom) not as clean but nothing that impacted our comfort

Mahalo for your review! We're glad you enjoyed the home and its beautiful location. The house and cottage are old enough to be on the historic landmark registry, and they offer a taste of the Hawaiʻi beach house experience of the old days.

The location of this property was great, just off the beach and about a 10 minute walk from the downtown shops and restaurants. The property was a great fit for 3 couples and the covered porch was in use most of the time. All amenities in the house and kitchen were available.

Great property management group as very easy to work with. Breath of fresh air. The property had everything you need for a great stay. We had fun. This is nitpicking and my only suggestion and I let the property managers know but I would add glass Tupperware and replace little one time use plastic shampoos and lotions w refillable containers. Thanks!

Our busy family took the time to reconnect. We remembered how much fun we have together!

Everyone had the best time! We cooked together, laughed, played games, had long leisurely breakfasts and relaxed. The runners in the group ran in paradise, some of the gang surfed. We all enjoyed the primo location. Thank you for providing the beach stuff! Everyone arrived with laptops, earbuds... totally wired for work. When it was time to head home, everyone had achieved the ‘Aloha’ state of mind!

Beautiful Location

Our extended family had a wonderful time. The location is perfect -- just steps away from the beach. Sitting on the lanai you can see the beach, the ocean, and the green, waterfall-festooned mountains. There are beach chairs, beach towels, and an umbrella available along with fins, a cooler and more to make beach play fun. Guest should be prepared for very warm bedrooms at night. I would suggest that the management supply stronger fans. Other than that, everything was amazing. We loved it.

The most picturesque setting ever!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the plantation home. It was idyllic. Some upgrades are needed,such as the dishwasher. Of note, the cleaning and prep of the small guest cottage left something to be desired. Upon arrival, the counters were dirty, and the foor and rug were grimey. The curtains were stained and dirty-looking. Unfortunate, because that was special occasion for the couple staying there.

Hanalei Bay is paradise

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property is located near the parking lot and adjacent to side road, so you hear cars. But right in center of the bay. Easy to get into town and get to each river on either side of bay. Loved the bicycles provided and all the beach toys, like boogie boards. No A/C, but the location and waterfall views make up for it. Ocean is farther than it looks in pictures, but home is beach front, as just a grass park area between you and the sand. Enjoyed feeding the birds and paddle-boarding the bay and rivers. Garden is lush with awapuhi, plumeria and star fruit.

Perfect design for comfort

House was really beautiful and located right on beach. Loved the porch! Spent all my time at house on porch. Easy walk to town. Felt very secluded with exception of a few beach issues. Two drugged/drunk people in middle of night screaming their heads off. Called police on one to return her to nearby condo-she was in bad shape. The other incident drunk guy left with friend. I guess that's part of the ideal location. Loved the north shore. Loved outdoor shower. The landscaping was amazing on house. We had a family reunion here with all ages. Half of group stayed over in Princeville, so it was convenient. Would stay again. Thanks for water play equipment. We left an extra boogie board and sand toys for others to use. We miss this home already. Thank you for sharing!

Dear Lisa, Thank you for the review, the porch/lanai is also my favorite @ NNH, i love to read on the lanai punai bed, listen to the birds and the waves, and enjoy the tropical setting. i'm glad your family reunion went well. i'm sorry for the incident in the park, and i applaud you for calling the police to deal with the noise makers. Thank you for your contribution to the water toys. i really appreciate your review.

Location...location...

This house was unanimously the best part of our trip to Kauai. Staying right on Hanalei Bay was delightful, and the house has an authentically Hawaiian feel to it. The good: Strolls to the beach with a cup of coffee in the morning, dinners on the most excellent patio while watching the sun set over the water, strolls on the beach at night. No hassle to play on the beach all day. The patio has two picture-postcard views: ocean to one side, mountains to the other. House and cottage were spacious and clean, with very soft towels. The large beds were very comfortable (twin beds were like rocks though). Sweet gecko chirps everywhere. The outdoor shower was fabulous...we used it a lot!!! Property management was super responsive and friendly. The bad (but not dealbreakers): No A/C so it was hot inside the house during the day; it cooled off at night though. Loads of mosquitoes hampered most nighttime activities on the patio. Kitchen needs new sauté pans and knives, so bring your own if you like to cook. Noise and traffic on the adjacent beach access parking was annoying (but not as bad as I'd thought: the occasional extended late-night conversations between beachgoers standing right outside the windows was the worst of it). We would definitely stay here again, but only after the area recovers a bit more from the floods last spring. Kuhio Highway is still closed to all but local and emergency traffic...sadly, there was no driving the lovely road to Ke'e beach. The flooding also resulted in a dearth of fresh local fish...our favorite fish market (the Dolphin in Hanalei) is closed indefinitely, and the one in Kilauea has only a tiny selection.

Aloha Lisa, Thank you so much for your detailed review on Nani Nani Hale, Hanalei! We enjoyed hearing that you enjoyed the property, the location, the amenities and the service provided by the Property Management Team! Yes, the temperature during the summer months can heat up, we hope that you utilized the ceiling fans to help air flow and opened up to help as well. A quick dip in the ocean just steps away always helps as well. =) . For the mosquitos, yes, they are pesky! We suggest using a repellant. Thank you for bringing to our attention the knives and pans as we are looking into replacing them. We hope that you are able to return soon to enjoy this wonderful vacation home and hope that the roads to Ke'e beach will be open by then. The Dolphin Restaurant should be up and running as well. Thank you for being wonderful guests. Mahalo Nui Loa!
