Hanalei Makai Hale, Steps to beautiful Hanalei Beach & Short Walk to Town!

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 sand and 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.

Wonderful home in Hanalei

We loved our house and had a wonderful stay. Perfect location as we could walk to beach and to town and we were a short drive from other great beaches and hiking trails. House was beautiful and had everything thing we needed including beautiful master suite, well stocked kitchen and spacious and comfortable outdoor living space.

Absolute Paradise

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.

Heaven in Hanalei

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.

Excellent Stay

We had a wonderful time at this lovely home in Hanalei. The kitchen was perfectly stocked for cooking meals. The beds were comfy and the home had plenty of towels and other beach supplies. We could walk to town or the beach at any time and never had to worry about parking. Great location! Look forward to visiting again.

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: 6 adult family members stayed 6 nights. Wonderful home with everything we needed supplied. From what we saw during our visit this is the best location on the north shore. A few hundred feet from the beach and 10 minute walk to town or a 90 second drive. Only drawback is no AC.

Fabulous Stay

Our family had an amazing time in Hanalei. The house was less than five minutes from the beach, which the kids just loved. Cute little town, activities all over the island if you feel like driving a little ways. Very, very relaxing and the food we had was decent too. I would come back in a heartbeat!

The home is very comfortable and well laid out with great attention to all the little details and misc. supplies (cling wrap, zip lock bags, laundry detergent, etc.) The kids were so excited to be a short walking distance to Hanalei Beach and boogie boarding. The outdoor shower is great for after beach clean up. We can't wait to stay again!
