Description

Wake up in a Hanalei postcard setting at this extraordinary 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom beach home.

You may think you’re dreaming when you open your eyes to picture-perfect views of Hanalei’s lush greenery and vivid blue skies outside your bedroom windows. Located in a residential stretch of ocean-view Weke Road, this upscale 2,600-square-foot home sits among North Shore's high valued estates.

Tucked into a tropical grove, the house is a quick stroll from the velvet sandand gentle surf of Hanalei Bay. In the distance, look for the serpent-shaped mountain that inspired the song, “Puff the Magic Dragon.” You’re also easy walking distance to Hanalei’s charming downtown. There you’ll find everything from artisan coffee and chocolate, to sophisticated, healthy cuisine, to classic island cocktails at the iconic Tahiti Nui, a favorite local lounge and a location for the George Clooney film, “The Descendants.”

At Hanalei Makai Hale, you’ll be immersed in beauty, indoors and out. Ascend the stairs to arrive at a custom, beveled-glass door that hints at the treasures inside. The foyer’s impressive glass sea sculptures introduce the carefully curated art collection, including original island paintings, carvings and tile work. The breezy lanais will beckon you outdoors into comfy chairs for morning coffee, an afternoon smoothie or chilled wine at sunset, to watch the sky turn vivid crimson.

The open floor plan encourages an easy flow between the kitchen, living room and dining room. Numerous lanai sliding glass doors and louvered windows welcome cooling trade winds and filtered daylight. Spacious bedrooms on opposite wings provide ample privacy for groups of couples, friends or families of up to six people.

The master suite has a king-sized bed, walk-in closet, dressing area, adjoining bathroom and access to the backyard lanai. From the front guest room’s king bed and private lanai, you can gaze at the ocean or every-shade-of-green terrain. The second guest bedroom offers cozy quiet and two twin beds that can convert to a king.

On the breakfast bar, find a gift basket of local artisan chocolate, Hawaiian spices and discount coupons that will ease your introduction to favorite Kauai treats and adventures. Outside treat yourself to a hot-water rinse in the enclosed open-air shower.

In no time, you’ll be living like a local, stocking up on impossibly fresh sushi and shopping the farmers markets for exotic fruits and vegetables that you stash in the Sub-Zero refrigerator. With a kitchen outfitted for the most discerning chefs, you’ll be turning out quick meals on the barbecue gas grill with ease.

In anticipation of our guests’ every need, the electronic front door locks require no keys to pick up, share or return. The kitchen is fully stocked with shopping bags, basic seasonings and cleaning supplies. The laundry room features an oversized washer, dryer and large pantry. Ease into adventures on land and water, guided by our booklet that lists favorite excursions, restaurants and shopping destinations. Throughout the home, labels and instructions ease familiarity with the house and appliances. You won’t lack for indoor entertainment with a large flat-screen television and high-speed Wi-Fi.

Inside and out, you’ll find the kind of cushiony furnishings that cradle you after a long day of surfing, swimming, hiking or power-shopping. Though the home is designed and maintained to five-star hotel standards, the inviting atmosphere and casual decor ultimately relaxes every guest into a blissful island existence.

The rental management company was also great. They were very curteous and on top of all the details. The house was very clean and comfortable. Walking distance to Hanalei town and great beaches. Just be warned if you go in August there is no AC And it gets very hot, especially in one of the rooms, we could not get it cool. We will definitely stay here again!

Our stay at this VRBO in Hanalei was nothing short of exceptional. The home was immaculately clean, thoughtfully stocked, and equipped with high-end appliances. The generous host provided everything we needed for a perfect beach day, including chairs, coolers, and even a wagon. The wraparound porch offered stunning views and comfortable seating, making it the perfect place to relax. We especially loved using the high-quality grill on the deck while enjoying the fresh tradewind breezes. Every detail of this home was designed for comfort and convenience—I truly wouldn’t change a thing. If I could live here, I would! I can’t wait to go back. This is an absolute gem, and I give it my highest recommendation.

The spacious and attractive house was very well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing and very enjoyable stay. There was plenty of space for our party of five adults. We especially enjoyed having morning coffee, early evening drinks, and occasional meals on the wrap-around decks. We have stayed in lots of Kauai rentals over the years and this one was the best. Highly recommend.

We always get our bikes from Pedal and Paddle and that's our transportation around town. We hit the beach either at The Cape or the pavillion every day that we are here. It's our Happy Place and will continue coming back!!!

My husband and I have been coming to Kauai for many years now, and we feel so fortunate to have found this beautiful home on our most recent trip. We cannot wait to return again. A short walk to town, to the beach, to the river - and it’s nestled away from the street where you can sit on the deck and listen to the sounds of the birds and the rain. Fully stocked kitchen, bathroom amenities, beach toys - it had everything we needed and more! You can tell the owners of this home take great pride in it and also have a deep love for the island and the community of Hanalei.
