This rental defines why you stay in an air bnb. Location could not be more perfect, right in the heart of hanaeli neighborhood, a block from the beach, and a 5 minute walk from the shops and restaurants! This older property is well-maintained and sparkling clean! We enjoyed the breeze through the plantation shutters, hearing the rain and frogs at night, and waking up to birds chirping and roosters calling! A wonderful spot to unwind and relax in sleepy hanaeli!
Consider picking up some coffee if you’re hitting the Kalalau trail early, as breakfast spots don’t open til 7. Food not to be missed: garlic shrimp lunch plate from trucking delicious, coconut ice cream from Pink’s, mac nut banana bread from the village bakery, sushi/cocktails at the dolphin, mai tais at Tahiti Nui (live music nightly at 6:30pm), Holey grail donuts food truck.
Loved Haena beach park for easy parking, shady spots, great snorkeling/turtles, monk seals! If waters/wind are calm, head to Anini beach and post up south of the parking lot for a little secluded section all to yourself!
