Indulge all your senses from this ocean-view, 3-bedroom, 2-bath Hanalei beach home
If you were any closer to the waves of Hanalei Bay, you’d need flippers. You’ll hear the surf from every room in this three-bedroom, two-bath beach house that’s a mere 80 steps from the velvety sands of world-famous Hanalei Bay, considered the best beach in all of Hawaii. Tucked away on a short cul-de-sac street, this 1,900-square-foot home’s elegant design, superior location in Hanalei and spectacular views offer guests a memorable immersion in a tropical wonderland.
Fully remodeled and furnished to anticipate vacationers’ every need, the charms of this extraordinary home are evident the moment you step onto the property, lushly landscaped with plumeria and orchids under a canopy of papaya and coconut palm trees. On the breakfast bar, find a gift basket of local artisan chocolate, Hawaiian spices and discount coupons that will introduce you to favorite Kauai treats and adventures—ice cream, bike rentals and a catered dinner.
Kick off your sandals and rinse the day’s sand from your toes in the elegant foot bath or hot-water outdoor shower, then step up to the expansive second story. The home’s open-floor plan brings ocean and garden views into the combined kitchen and dining area, where you’ll routinely gather to recount the day’s adventures. Leaf through our book of suggestions for hiking, dining and sightseeing, or borrow beach gear for a day of sunny recreation. Be inspired by the home’s gallery-worth photography of Kauai landmarks to plan your next outing.
Strategically located windows open to the cooling ocean breezes and bring a light, airy atmosphere to every room. Arranged to offer privacy for couples, friends or families, this ideal vacation getaway with 12-foot cathedral ceilings immerses guests in the island’s laid-back lifestyle. In no time, you’ll be dining outside on the lanai (that’s what some call a deck or porch), sipping coffee outside the master bedroom in the morning and gathering for an ocean-view meal at night. With a kitchen outfitted for the most discerning chefs, you’ll be turning out quick meals on the barbecue gas grill with ease.
The private master suite has a king bed, large closet, dressing area, adjoining bathroom and access to a private lanai. There are two spacious guest bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the second guest bedroom with two twin beds that can convert to a king if needed. Both of these rooms have beautiful views of the lush tropical landscaping surrounding this home.
In anticipation of our guests’ every need, the electronic front door locks require no keys to pick up, share or return. There is a large flat-screen TV, and high-speed Wi-Fi powers all your devices. The kitchen is fully stocked to meet all of your dining needs including shopping bags for your Farmer’s Market visits, basic seasonings and cleaning supplies. The downstairs laundry room features an over-sized washer and dryer. Throughout the home, labels and instructions aid familiarity with the house and appliances.
At sundown, you’ll soon appreciate the origin of Sunset Hale’s name. Sip a frosty cocktail as the setting sun nightly washes you with its crimson rays and reflect on yet another day in paradise.
*** Cancellation Policy *** Cancellations for bookings require a 30-day written notice for refund of your initial deposit. The $50 reservation fee is non-refundable. If less than 30 days' written notice, the rent & excise tax are forfeited. ***

About the host
Hosted by Kauai Vacation Rentals and Real Estate, Inc
It all began with a vision. A desire to share the magical island of Kauai with the world. And, founder, Lucy Kawaihalau, has dedicated her life to that goal through Kauai Vacation Rentals. "In a vacation rental home or condo, you really feel like you're living here," reflects Lucy, "so bringing together home owners and guests to achieve the 'best fit' is only a part of our distinguished reputation. Our responsibilities are twofold. For our owners, we provide the best management and maintenance services so they can rest easy, knowing their homes are meticulously cared for, since they may be thousands of miles away from their investment. For our guests, we believe they should be treated like royalty." And, it is the respect for the guest that gained Kauai Vacation Rentals recognition throughout the world. A friendly team dedicated to serving the needs of guests, with attention to all the details, makes it all possible. "A vacation to Kauai is so meaningful," adds Lucy. "For some, it may be the trip of a lifetime. For others, it may be a yearly event. This is a splendid place to relax. Our guests are 'energized' when they go home. That's what we mean when we say, 'magical Kauai.' " This genuine business model embodies the Hawaiian word, 'Aloha,' and it has gained much recognition within the industry and business venues, including numerous awards. Many glowing articles have been written, from Kauai Business & Real Estate Magazine, Hawaii Business, and internationally distributed Travel & Leisure Magazine to famed Fortune Magazine. In fact, Lucy Kawaihalau was personally honored with coveted awards from the Small Business Administration and Kauai Chamber of Commerce for her successful business achievements. Lucy concludes, "I am deeply grateful for our recognition and awards. Yet, it is the phone call, with heartfelt and glowing remarks about a visit to Kauai from a satisfied guest that brings us great joy. Therein lies our greatest achievement."
