  a guest from Santa Barbara, CA recommends this vacation rental

  This house is beautifully decorated, very clean and large! We loved the kitchen, balcony with view of the ocean and the other outdoor space, but best of all is the one minute walk to the beach and five minute walk to the restaurants, shops, etc... could not be better!

  • Manager Responded on 9/29/2023

  Randi G from BEVERLY HILLS, CA recommends this vacation rental

  There are not enough superlatives to describe our experience at this home. It is spacious, comfortable, beautifully furnished and the kitchen(s) are intuitively designed and well equipped with everything one who enjoys cooking could need (except for a garlic press, our only negative comment!). Also tons of beach chairs, towels, boogie boards, umbrellas and a wagon to carry it all!
  We have previously only stayed on the ocean side of Weke Road so we were unsure if "steps to the beach" was really accurate, and it is. It is only about 100 steps from the front door to the entrance to the beach. Literally maybe a 90 second walk.
  We LOVED this home and can't wait to go back.

  • Manager Responded on 9/6/2023

    We're so glad you enjoyed Nalu Hanalei! We love this home too and look forward to hosting you again! MAHALO!

  Sharon D from Aledo , TX recommends this vacation rental

  Our family of 6 adults and one 18 month old stayed at this property on Hanalei Bay for two weeks. The management could not have been more accommodating and responsive to our questions/needs. The home is spotless, beautifully decorated and stocked with paper towels, toilet paper, soaps, laundry detergent and cleaning supplies. The location of the home is perfect for a quick walk into town or to the beach. We enjoyed the ping pong table as well as the three lanais. Our little guy loved the beach toys waiting for him, and we were thankful for the beach chairs, umbrellas and wagon to cart our stuff. The outdoor shower made rinsing off after a beach day a snap. We enjoyed ourselves immensely at this home and wished for more days to enjoy this magnificent place.

  • Manager Responded on 5/30/2023

    Mahalo for the outstanding review! So glad you enjoyed all this home had to offer. We hope to host you and your family year after year beginning a new tradition!

  Tarran C from Alpharetta , GA recommends this vacation rental

  From arrival to departure this home did not disappoint! The home was exceptionally clean and the furnishings were well maintained and beautiful. We cooked breakfast and dinner at the home every day. The kitchen was well appointed and a joy to cook in. The AC units in each of the bedrooms and upper family room worked great when we needed them. We really appreciated the boogie boards, beach chairs, beach wagon and beach towels available to us at the home. All of the mattresses were super comfortable. The only negative critique I can give is for the mattress in the upper secondary bedroom, each side had developed the "dips" that occur with time.
  
  The location of the home made the stay super easy for our group of 8. A quick walk into Hanalei for happy hour, groceries, shaved ice or fish from the Dolphin market allowed everyone to do what they wanted on their schedule. Memorable home for a memorable family vacation!

  • Manager Responded on 10/17/2022

    Mahalo Tarren for your wonderful review at Nalu Hanalei. We are so happy that you were able to make memorable family time on Kauai that will last a lifetime. We enjoyed hosting you. Warmest Mahalo, Makana Kauai Properties

  This is about the 8th time we have stayed at Nalu Hanalei and it keeps getting better. New furniture was a welcome treat! Super clean upon arrival. Never a need to contact the management company but I will say that they were way out in front of things with communication prior to our arrival. If you are looking for a rental that has everything (toys/TV's/kitchens/wonderful beds/AC) and is walking distance to the beach and town...this is your place! Hanalei...still one of the most beautiful places in the world!

  • Manager Responded on 10/19/2022

    Wow! We enjoy hosting you and yours for the 8th time at Nalu, Hanalei. Yes, the home just finished a round of major upgrades: new paint, furniture, TV, Ping Pong Table, etc. and yes, Hanalei cant be beat! We look forward to hosting you in the near future again.

  a guest from Thousand Oaks, CA recommends this vacation rental

  Nalu Hanalei was perfect for 2 couples upstairs and a family of 3 downstairs. Upstairs balcony very comfortable for dining or lounging. Great views. Walk to beach was convenient. Walk to town is also convenient.
  
  2 very minor suggestions:
  Would be nice to have a flat skillet for making pancakes/French Toast.
  Would also be nice to provide tissues/Kleenex somewhere in house.
  
  All in all, highly recommend Nalu Hanalei.

  • Manager Responded on 7/6/2022

    Thank you for the review Nathan. The house should have been supplied with tissues and we're sorry that we missed that. We hope to host you again! Mahalo, Makana Kauai Properties

  Carol F from Sacramento , CA recommends this vacation rental

  Nalu Hanalei is an outstanding rental property. It’s location on Weke Road is ideal. Although not situated directly beachfront, the ocean views from inside the home and from the upstairs lanai are absolutely incredible because of an undeveloped beachfront lot across the street. The home’s interior is beautiful, comfortable, spacious and as represented in online photos. Split system air conditioning keeps home cool during hot afternoons. We were a group of 6, family and friends. The young adults stayed downstairs with their own two bedrooms, bath, kitchen, living area, and lanai. We would gather upstairs for group meals at either of the large dining tables, one inside, one outside on lanai. Kitchen is well-outfitted with everything one may need for food prep, serving, etc. The town of Hanalei was a short walk away. We walked to Dolphin Fish Market and picked up delicious fresh fish, sushi and poke. Bay is perfect for swimming and bodysurfing. The clean, soft sand beach is a great place to relax, play and enjoy the day. Wonderful hikes nearby. There are no large resorts in the town of Hanalei. It is a special place.

  Nalu Hanalei was perfect for our family with three adult children and their spouses.

  Fifth time staying at Nalu always delivers a wonderful experience. The property was available and clean after a long day of travel. The new AC added to the unit is amazing!
