Tree Top Suite- Beautiful walk to Hanalei Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Kats place was just as described. The place had ceiling to floor windows, surrounded by trees. Very private yet close to Princeville Center and Hanalei Center. It was clean and meticulously maintained. The area is still recovering from the hurricane, but all in all they are emerging. It was perfect for me and my husband."

1 Hotel Hanalei Bay

Paddle to a Secluded Beach • Experience Old Hawaiʻi • 50+ Year Local Expert Host

10/10 Excellent

"Celebrated my birthday with a lovely stay at the river estate. We enjoyed celebrating the charming old Hawaiian feel of the home. The furnishings and beds are very comfortable and we had everything we needed. The bedroom ac’s were awesome. Perfect for chilling out, cooking on the bbq and relaxing with great friends. The sound of the river and views of the mountains and scenery out the expansive windows are wonderful. The house has lovely light. We really appreciate Mark working with us after the hurricane to make our visit possible and to maximize our short stay with an early checkin and late checkout. Always provided responsive communication. Love the Haven coffee house being in walking distance and the nearby beaches too. Great location for being on the beautiful North shore."

Walk to the beach in this lush, serene house with a private garden oasis

10/10 Excellent

"Ideal location for us! We wanted to be on the north shore, but not so extremely far up and away from certain conveniences. The Princeville shopping area was steps away. So, a few restaurants and a grocery store were perfect! Hanalei Bay was a few minutes which was great, and we went to Kīlauea a few times for food and dessert! Wish the AC unit was in the master, as we’re used to having it a bit icey at night to sleep. All the beach gear was extremely helpful and appreciated. Comfortable couches, beautiful outdoor space. Just a wonderful trip."

10/10 Excellent

"Devaki was a great host. She was kind and responsive. Our dates began a few weeks after hurricane Lowell, with Nolo hanging out offshore deciding which way to go so we had more than the usual number of communications. The host lives on the property and did her best to give us the information we needed, We opted to proceed. The location is fantastic it was our reason for choosing this property and it did not disappoint. We knew from previous trips that we love Hanalei town for it's rural feel and walkability. The unit sits back off the road which makes it quieter. It is also larger than it appears in the photos and has amazing mountain views from the large windows. The host provided lots of fans to keep guests comfortable even in this usual weather. We watched the ever changing skies every morning from our bed. The kitchen has the essentials. We cooked almost all of our meals for 2 weeks. We brought a small Bluetooth speaker and were glad we did. We would stay at this property again."
