About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Na Hoku; upstairs oceanfront unit just steps to town and Hanalei Bay beach!

Na Hoku is the upstairs of a beach house duplex. There are two bedrooms, one bath, a kitchen, dining area and living room (Standard Occupancy is 4*). There is a good sized covered lanai and great ocean views from the living room and the lanai. Just walk down the stairs from the lanai onto the grass & walk to the beach in front.

Na Hoku, The upstairs Beach House is great for easy access. No steps between your bed and the sand! It has a cool relaxed feel. Hanalei town with its and restaurants & stores are only about 4 - 5 blocks away.

There is a King in the first bedroom with a flat screen. Twins in the second bedroom for another couple or single friends. If you are two couples, the twins can be made up as a King. There is an ottoman that becomes a twin bed in the living room.

*Listed rate is for the standard occupancy of 4, but home can accommodate up to 5. Extra guest fee beyond 4 is $20+tax/ per night / per person. One extra guest is allowed and this fee is collected after booking.

This is not a great house for energetic kids unless you are renting the downstairs, Keone, also. The floor is not well insulated for sound. You want to be considerate of the folks below and you don't want to spend all your time monitoring your children.

Your lanai is a great spot for lounging, lunch, or anytime. Some of our guests get a pretty cloth & cover the picnic table on the grass in front of the lanai for dinner and set a bunch of flowers on it. With others the lanai is home to sand toys and surf boards.

Just walk past the palms & ironwoods to the sand. If you've has enough sun, but not enough beach, under the trees is where you will be. Great place for reading or Scrabble. There are beach chairs for your use.

There is a combined tub shower in the house, as well as an outdoor hot & cold shower at the laundry hut just steps away.

You never know what you will see on the beach. Many people come here to get married, renew vows, celebrate anniversaries, birthdays, even to get baptized! Canoe races, surfers, kite surfers, fishermen, volleyball players. Even with all this activity, most people experience the beach with fewer people on it than they could have dreamed. If you want action go out to the beach and head right. If you want space, go left toward the river mouth.

If you are our guests at Na Hoku, you will enjoy, sun, rain, surf, rainbows, and a great little town set in a fabulously beautiful location.

The State of Hawaii requires a rental agreement. The rental agreement has different cancellation policies than VRBO.

Please be aware that when you book this house or any accommodations by the ocean in Hawaii, not on a bluff, you are booking in a tsunami evacuation zone. Evacuation instructions will be in the house and notice of the tsunami evacuation zone will be part of your contract. Also please know that we cannot accommodate charging of electric vehicles at this property at this time.

Fantastic location right across the lawn from the beach. Stunning views from the porch. It is an old classic pine and plywood construction, nothing fancy, but extremely clean and well-provisioned. People downstairs had a 1 year old and it wasn’t too loud. There’s a laundry hut that was very convenient and an outdoor shower. We will absolutely book here again!

Perfect spot for relaxing
The property is not fancy, but it is a perfect Hanalei getaway. Close to town, but away from the touristy part of Hanalei. There is no air conditioner, but with the trade winds and fans we found it to be an even better experience to enjoy the elements. We hope to be back!

magical every time
This property is a return visit for many years. The deck is the main enjoyment and you could sit there all day and read and watch the ocean, or just walk down to it. It is close enough to town, especially on a cruiser bike. I will be returning every year! Managers are very responsive and friendly.

Amazing location and comfortable home
We think we had the best spot on the beach. We grilled out many nights and enjoyed the boogie boards. The beds are comfortable and the house is equipped with what you need for the week. The walk to the beach is easy and the actual beach spot is perfect.

Perfect Beach Shack
Such a perfect vibe to be in this “rustic beach shack” as I like to think of it. Small and simple with everything you need and nothing you don’t it seems to fit right into the landscape with its faded turquoise presence echoing all of the green tones surrounding it. Yes, the paint may be peeling off a bit, but that’s the charm. You sort of feel like you are a local here in this dwelling as so many places work so hard to be so desperately opulent while this place fits right in to the vibe like your favorite pair of faded jeans. The huge lawn is amazing and the covered patio is the perfect place to take in the sights and sounds of a rain storm. We hope to be back.

Still My Favorite VRBO of All Time
My husband and I stayed at Na Hoku for the 5th time this year, and it remains my absolute favorite VRBO. Hanalei is of course delightful, but this house makes it perfect. The house has a lovely functional layout with all the amenities we need, but the lanai is what keeps us coming back. We usually come in winter and so storms are to be expected on the North Shore. I *love* having a meal on the covered lanai while it’s pouring rain, watching the surf and listening to the geckos. And if it’s sunny and warm, the lanai catches the breeze off the ocean to keep you comfortable. It really is paradise. This year, I also appreciated the several upgrades to the house (furnishings, fans, etc) that have been done since our last visit. If this place is available, book it! Just leave a week or so open for us each year…

It was like staying at grandma and grandpa’s house - and we loved it! Very comfortable and made you feel at home. The view was AMAZING! I was able to sit on the porch and work while on vacation… every time I looked up from work I was able to see the beautiful water and beach!

Great property
Location, location, location! So lovely to be beach front, and we loved the beach on Hanalei Bay. We stayed in late December with huge waves--so fun to watch. We were lucky to have mostly sunny days and temps in the mid 70's. Great location for hiking in Na Pali. The house is exactly as advertised: two clean bedrooms, one bathroom, kitchen with everything you need, great lanai with great views. Furnishings and finishes are simple, clean, comfortable, and perfect for a beach stay. We visited the south of the island and Lihue area--beaches not nearly as nice as Hanalei Bay!

Great stay in Hanalei
We had a wonderful stay, house was as described in the listing. It was great having a covered lanai to watch the waves, especially in the rain. It was a short walk across the lawn to the beach and the walk into town was quick and quite well lit at night. Any questions I had were answered via email quickly. My husband and I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great Location- House is of need of upgrades
The location is fabulous and the management company is great. However, the bathroom door does not shut, the kitchen came with no foil, one roll of paper towels, two cotton kitchen towels, and we were told if we wanted more paper towels for clean up to buy them ourselves, and we were told to buy TP as well. Additionally, the TV in the bedroom has a one inch vertical brown stripe down the screen, the remotes are wacked out, the bathroom flooring was damaged by water, instead of removing and replacing the flooring they screwed down a piece of aluminum stripping to stop it from curling up. The bathroom is like my old building college rental bathrooms. The location and the lanai is outstanding, but for the price, you can provide some items like TP, two rolls for a family for a week? The solar lights on the stairs do not work, and if you need to walk up the stairs in the dark, bring a flashlight, especially if it is raining. People at management office are very nice, and we have rented three homes on Weke Road, and I can do rustic, and we lived in the South Pacific, so it is not as though we need everything all perfect. They just can give a little TLC and attention to detail to make it just fine.

The crash of the waves
You can hear the crash if the waves from the bedrooms. The porch is deep enough to keep you dry and a stroll across the lawn gets you to the beach. It’s a ten minute walk to restaurants and shops. What else can you ask for

We rented this property for 9 days and it was perfect for us. It felt like home except with a gorgeous view of Hanalei Bay and Mountain View’s behind the house. Hanalei is a quaint town with good restaurants and a grocery store. My husband rented surf boards from the local shop and had great surf every day. We hated to leave this jungle paradise.

BEST LOCATION EVER
We vacation in Hanalei every August if we can, and of all the properties we've enjoyed over the years, this is our favorite! The hale is a little dated, but totally authentic – old-school Hawaii as it should be. Where it shines above all others is it's quiet, serene setting right on the beach. No ka oi!
