Our stay at Hallor House was wonderful. We arrived very late and they left all the lights on for us. The house is great and updated and is so nicely stocked with all the necessities. An amazing washer/dryer set which is a must for beach vacations, beach towels, chairs, etc. The kitchen has been really nicely updated and had everything we needed. There is no AC but we certainly didn’t need it as there was always a lovely breeze that came through when we opened up the blinds. It took me a couple of days to get used to the roosters at 1 am, (apparently they missed the memo on sounding the alarm at dawn) but after that I slept right through it. The best part is the easy walk to Tunnels beach which is stunning. We actually never went anywhere else. When we were there, there was quite a brisk wind as you come out onto the beach from the path but if you take a left and walk around the bend on the beach toward the mountains, there’s a big fallen log and almost exactly at that point you won’t feel the wind anymore. Not sure if it’s like that all year. We saw monk seals sleeping on the beach almost daily (keep your distance) and one high surf day we saw tons of sea turtles. This was a lovely vacation, quiet and peaceful. It’s a bit of a winding drive into Hanalei for groceries, restaurants and shops, but the views along the way are beautiful so I didn’t mind at all. I would not hesitate to stay at Hallor House again on a return to Kauai.
