Great quiet property. Never an interruption from the attached, but no shared wall, neighbor. Felt very private. Beach is SO close, can walk with a beverage in hand for sunset. Chairs, towels and umbrella provided! The space felt larger than in the photos! Don’t let studio fool you - plenty of space. Wonderful stay.

Beautiful Beachfront Bungalow

Great place, decorated with Hawaiian memorabilia, hear the birds chirp in the morning, watch the sky change colors at dusk. Great location, all the amenities would definitely stay again

A Lovely Spot!

We had a terrific time. The location was as perfect - close to the beach and an easy walk to shops & restaurants. Would have given them 5 stars for everything, but internet was down and there wasn’t a backup plan for communicating with them. Everything else was great!

The Beautiful Sounds of Kauai

Located in a residential neighborhood but the feel of an isolated setting. The views from all the windows were of greenery and mountains. We could see a portion of one house across the street. And the sounds from the birds were wonderful. Only a couple of blocks from our favorite beach. Load the wagon with beach chairs, umbrella, and bugey boards.

Definitely A HAPPY PLACE!!!!

Very comfortable for 2 people. Close walk to both the beach and Hanalei. Owners provide beach chairs, umbrella and buggy to take to the beach. Washer and dryer in the garage too! Cleaning service was provided several times during our longer stay. The only issue is that there is not great outdoor space to hang out at the bungalow. View is fabulous and gardens are gorgeous. Loved our stay!
