Heavenly Hanalei

Lovely, well equipped home. Clean, comfortable and great location. We appreciated how well stocked it was from tissues in each room, nice bathroom supplies and many kitchen tools. The one issue that we had was immediately resolved by Chris, the manager. We really enjoyed our stay and all fell in love with Bonkers, the cat. Oh, and we were the first to christen the new outdoor shower which is a great addition.

Location!

I loved the quiet street and feeling like we were away from the tourist areas. Close proximity to the beach and Hanalei Bay. It’s about a 20min walk to the beach via the private path and a 5 min drive to Hanalei. It’s also a 4 min drive or 15 min walk to the Makai golf course. Highly recommend the 7th hole sunrise yoga! Bonkers the cat was a welcome guest each morning and night-we miss him! Thank you for sharing your lovely home.

Our Story

We are a family of four who first discovered Kauai nearly 30 years ago. What began as a simple vacation quickly became something deeper—the island’s beauty, spirit, and friendships we built here touched us in ways we could never have imagined. Over time, Kauai called us back again and again, until we finally decided to set down roots.

Our hearts are forever split between Kauai and California. Life has taken us through challenges—our family home was lost in the Woolsey Fire while we were here on island—but those moments gave us perspective and reminded us what truly matters: family, community, and the simple joys of life.

Our little cottage is the realization of a dream shared by all four of us—surfers, seekers, and philosophers at heart. It’s a place where the rhythm of the ocean and the calm of the mountains come together, offering both inspiration and rest.

We’ve chosen to share our home with those who carry that same zest for life—people who know the value of slowing down, embracing beauty, and creating memories with loved ones.

You deserve the tropical island vacation you’ve been dreaming of. Who knows—like us, you may discover that Kauai becomes part of your reality, too.

With Aloha,
Our Family

Why they chose this property

🌴 North Shore Gem • Rainbows, Beach Path & Hanalei Access
Aloha & welcome to our family’s dream retreat! We first came to Kauai over 20 years ago, and the island’s magic kept calling us back until we finally set roots here. Though we live part-time in Malibu, our hearts are split between “The Bu” and this special corner of the North Shore.

🏡 The Setting
Tucked away on a private street, our 3-bedroom cottage sits in a quaint tropical complex with only a few units—peaceful, quiet, and filled with artists, wellness seekers, and ocean lovers. It feels less like a resort and more like living the Kauai lifestyle.

🌈 Daily Rainbows
What makes this spot truly unique are the rainbow views that appear across the street, often framing Bali Hai. Whether with your morning coffee or evening wine, these skies are pure magic. This is why we chose this street—because happiness really is right here.

🚶 Beach Path & Hanalei Access
The hidden path to Pu‘u Poa Beach, in front of the 1 Hotel, begins nearby, letting you walk to the water in 20 minutes. Hanalei Bay is just around the corner, whether you stroll to the rivers edge or take a quick drive. Surf, swim, paddle, or simply sit with your toes in the sand—it’s all close by.

🍽️ Eat & Explore Like a Local

Fresh mornings at Hanalei Bread Co. or Wishing Well Shave Ice.
Farm-to-table dining at Bar Acuda, Postcards Café, and AMA Ramen.
Live music & mai tais at Tahiti Nui, a true Hanalei favorite.
Events at Anaina Hou: farmers markets, concerts, and outdoor movies under the stars.

✨ Why Guests Love It Here
3 comfortable bedrooms with fresh linens.
Newly added air conditioning + high-end fans.
Outdoor rinse-off shower after a day in the surf.
Assigned parking right in front of the unit.
A welcoming community vibe that makes you feel at home.
This isn’t just a vacation rental—it’s the little slice of Kauai that our family dreamed of for years, and now we’re happy to share it with you. 🌺

What makes this property unique

We’ve created a cozy home filled with new furnishings, fresh linens, and brand-new A/C so you can relax in comfort while enjoying the charm of Hale Honu. 🌴 Away from the crowds, it offers the feel of living like a local—morning birdsong, peaceful evenings, and all the comforts of home with a touch of Hawaii.
