Makana Kauai were terrific hosts. "Hanalei Happy Place Estate" was exactly as described. It's well appointed for a family of 4, and the location is excellent: 0.1 mile to the beach and 0.5 mile to the heart of Hanalei Town. Yes, it's not directly on the beach at Weke Rd, but Weke Rd gets busy. From our pov, this property is ideally situated: close enough to the action just set back enough to feel private and to be a true escape. It backs onto what seems like an open space preserve. We highly recommend and will return when we can.
