Our Beach Home here next to Hanalei Bay can be yours! Walk out your front door and across the grass to the sand and sea.

Hanalei Moon Beach Cottage is named after the famous Hawaiian song Hanalei Moon, which extols the extreme beauty and romance of the Hanalei Valley under the tropical night sky.

The cottage is located on the quiet end of town on Weke Road, right on the beach park, on 1/3 acre within walking distance of all the restaurants, shops and galleries. Waterfalls are the backdrop for our little beach house.

There is complete cozy kitchen where you can whip up fabulous food from the Hanalei Fish Market, the Farmer's Market, or just make snacks to go and enjoy some of the great local restaurants.

King size bed and lights for reading at night. It has a separate bathroom entrance. We have a little library for your use and quite a few great books on Kauai and Hawaii in general.

We have a little telescope in the living room so that you can better see boats, whales, and dolphins ply the Bay by day and enjoy the moon and stars at night. If you're lucky, you may see a moon bow, something I have only seen in Hanalei. It will happen on a night when there are stars, moon and clouds together. If the clouds are sailing by on the gentle trade winds and shedding some tears, the rain will be illuminated by the moon shining from the cloudless part of the sky. Talk about breathtaking! Depending on the brightness of the moon, you may discern the colors of the rainbow.

Snorkeling, swimming, diving, paddling, hiking, golfing and a health club are all as close as your front yard, to as far as a 10-minute drive away. Walk across your front yard and look to the left; you're likely to see hardly anyone for a mile. Look to the right and you'll probably see surfers, volleyball players and beachgoers, with the Hanalei Pier at the far end of the Bay in the background.

The State of Hawaii requires a rental agreement. The rental agreement has different cancellation policies than VRBO.

Please be aware that when you book this house or any accommodations by the ocean in Hawaii, not on a bluff, you are booking in a tsunami evacuation zone. Evacuation instructions will be in the house and notice of the tsunami evacuation zone will be part of your contract. Also please know that there is a charge of $15 per night for charging of electric vehicles at this property.

Outdoor motion-activated security cameras monitor the driveway entrances and open yard to help ensure only registered guests are on the grounds.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We keep coming back to this little beach house because it is just perfect for us.... We had already done most of the recommended activities except for zip-lining, which we did and it was a blast.... Other than that we did some reading and spent some time on the beach watching the surfers and others enjoying what this awesome beach has to offer.... Probably the most relaxing vacation we’ve ever experienced

The location is heavenly; grass lawn to swaying palm trees, to endless Hanalei Beach. A truly tropical paradise.

    This is a wonderful property directly on Hanalei Bay. We really enjoyed being able to walk through the backyard and onto the beach. The house is a great size for 2 people, with plenty of outdoor spaces as well. The owners have recently updated the interior with new smart tvs and stainless steel appliances, giving the house an updated feel. They also provide some beach chairs, snorkeling gear and grill accessories for the charcoal Weber grill, which all helped to make our stay more enjoyable. This property will definitely be on our list to return to!

    Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've stayed many times in these properties on Hanalei Bay, and the location can't be beat. Gorgeous views of the bay, and just a short walk to the water. The Moon Beach Cottage is functional and has everything you need, but it's showing its age. The beach and bath towels all need replaced, and some of the small appliances are getting old. But it's comfortable and there's nothing like being on this beach every morning when you wake up.

    This is a perfect location and view to appreciate everything about Hanalei—views, peace, privacy. Cottage adequately stocked, tho dated. If you are a walker, it is within walking distance of village, depending on heat/humidity. Perfect size for 1 or 2 people.

    The beach house itself is nothing fancy but exactly what you need. Location is incredible. My wife and I stayed and took advantage of cooking in the cottage for breakfast and heading into town for dinners. Hanalei Bay is an amazing place to stay on the island and this cottage is located exactly where you want to be.The ONLY negative I'd say are the roosters living very close to the house, one right by the bedroom which had us up early a couple of mornings haha

    Half Moon Bay was amazing. The location was perfect. Close enough to town to easily get to stuff but far enough away to feel secluded. The beach is right there and you almost feel like it’s your own private beach. And the house was great. If I had any quibble with anything, it was with the fact that there were no directions on how to access local tv channels to watch sports. But that is relatively minor. We would come back 10 out of 10 times.

    This was the perfect cottage - great location, beautiful view, has everything you would want. We loved being able to walk right out to the beach. Outdoor shower was a plus. We would love to visit again.

The bungalow was chosen entirely for its location directly on Hanalei Bay and it proved to be more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. The whole experience is reminiscent of a 50s Hawaiian postcard! Yes, I remember :) Cant wait to go back...
