We stayed in the 1bdrm unit in November.

The location was great - easy walking distance to everything including Hanalei bay. We spent several days at Hanalei bay and enjoyed swimming, boogie boarding & just hanging out. We also spent some time further north at Ke'e beach and it was pretty easy access.

We did go during a very rainy period and inside the unit it was fairly dark - hard to get things lit. We probably would not have noticed this if it hadn't been so rainy and there were a few hours here & there that we just wanted to stay in & listen to it rain.

Another warning about the rain - they do close the bridge which is the only way to get to Hanalei Vacation house. Again, our decision but one day we chose to head east & get to a beach where there was not a downpour. We thought for awhile that evening we would be finding another place to sleep or staying in our car as the bridge closed. We were fortunate - it reopened that evening.

The biggest downside to this place as lack of sleep. The bed is VERY soft & the local bar & musicians next door are quite loud. I am a very sound sleeper and yet they woke me up 2 of 4 nights there. My husband, who is a light sleeper, was kept up every night with them.

The place was relatively inexpensive so you do get what you pay for. Don't expect deluxe accomodations (we did not) but be aware of the noise.

We just got back from our second trip to the Hanalei Vacation House, and it was, again, an exquisite experience. The house is comfortable, picturesque, and is located in the heart of Hanalei town. It's just a block to the beach, and right next to some of the best shopping and dining on the island. Ten minutes access to all the North Shore beaches, Princeville, and Ha'ena.

Jim & Shannon are great people to deal with, very friendly and helpful. We'll be back for our next vacation, guaranteed!

3.5 stars.
Prime location close to everything you need while vacationing in Hanalei. Everything is walking distance to shopping and food.
Beware that since you are close to all the establishments the bars at night always play loud music that might be a problem when you are trying to get some sleep.
The property is for sale. So the foliage has been kinda unkept. Make sure to bring bug spray with you all the time since there are a lot of mosquitos.
The room we had was on the top floor. Kinda like an efficiency apartment type.
Its ok but not outstanding.

We stayed in the one bedroom for four nights, and it was really nice. Very close to all the action in Hanalei. In one respect it was a little too close, as the music from the nearby bars was a bit annoying at night. Admittedly we go to bed pretty early, and I don't think it went real late, so it might not bother most people. A big bonus was all the cool beach swag that was available - a couple of beach chairs, a small cooler, umbrellas, old beach cruiser bikes, boogie boards, etc... One other thing that might be a problem for some is that the bed is quite soft - after the first night I slept like a rock, but it took a little getting used to.
All in all a very nice place, and definitely a good value.
