We picked this rental for the location and weren’t disappointed. The view is every bit as amazing as it looks in photos and we were able to enjoy some spectacular sunsets from the patio. It’s walking distance to Hideaways beach, Pali Ke Kua beach (the condos have private access), and Queen’s Bath. It’s just a short drive to the Foodland, Hanalei, and Anini beach. We had a great time snorkeling at Hideaways and Anini and saw sea turtles in both locations. Each building has its own parking lot and we never had trouble finding a spot.
As others mentioned, the unit is dated but it was clean and functional. There were several burned out lights in the unit but we notified property management and they promptly fixed them. They have a supply of coolers, umbrellas, pool-noodles and folding chairs you can use, but some were broken so check them before carrying them to the beach.
Our one warning to future visitors is to keep the sliding glass doors closed. The gardens surrounding the condos are absolutely gorgeous, but they’re home to the dreaded giant centipede. One got into our unit (we suspect through a tiny gap under the sliding screen doors) and bit me while I was sleeping. Their bites don’t usually cause serious issues but they are extremely painful! From the sound of it, most locals and long-term residents get bit at some point. It didn’t ruin the trip but we will be cautious on future visits.
