Really loved staying here as the place is in a great and beautiful location close to Hanalei town, Hanalei Bay Beach Park, Tunnels, Haena Beach Park, Anini Beach and Secret Beach. It’s also in Makai Golf Course, one of the most stunning golf course I’ve ever seen.
The company managing the place is super responsive. You ping them, they’ll ping you right back.
The beach accessories are also a great plus. They supply four Beach chairs, a beach umbrella, four boogie boards, a huge cooler and some beach toys for kids. We used this everyday.
Here are the three things to take into account:
-The house doesn’t have AC. The second floor/master bedroom stayed pretty warm and humid. You’ll have to have the fans on and keep the balcony doors and windows open in the evenings to be able to sleep and even then, it still warm because heat always rises from the downstairs. The same situation with the small guest room with two twins downstairs as it only has a window. The downstairs bedroom with a sliding glass door that leads to backyard was the best room to be in since it has a sliding glass door, it’s downstairs so it stays relatively cool and there’s a feeling fan and a floor fan.
-Be careful of the microwave as it gets the mugs and plate wares super hot, it can burn you if you set the time even as low as one minute. But the food or water inside the mugs doesn’t heat completely. My recommendation is to heat the water and food on the stove.
-There’s also no vent in the bathroom downstairs. Sharing the same bathroom with four people, taking showers one after the other after getting back home from the beach can be unpleasant since it’s becomes too hot and humid inside the bathroom.
Will I stay here again. Yes. I rated them 5 out of 5 because I knew before renting the place, they didn’t have A/C. I was fine with it because I stayed in the downstairs bedroom with the sliding glass door. :) Everyone else complained. :/ the location was great, the house was fully stocked, the surrounding place was beautiful and you’re in a beautiful part of Kauai.
