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.

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 had 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.

Beautiful location!

We had a lovely week at this rental. It was perfect for my husband and me. We loved the peaceful vibe of Hanalei, and the access to the beach and beach/ocean views were amazing. The sound of the surf was lovely. We would love to return!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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…

We could not imagine a better setting for Hanalei. We ate out at restaurants, but preferred cooking in our well stocked kitchen and eating on the porch. There is a downstairs unit that looked good, too. There is a laundry hut with a nice outdoor show next to it for wet clothes and people. Communication with host was great. We will be back!

Probably the best place on Kaua'i

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was our third stay at this property since we enjoyed it for our honeymoon in 1999. Though Hanalei changed over the past 25 years, Na Hoku is still the place we dream of - quiet, well maintained, fully equipped, great views, spacious. Nothing can beat a freshly cooked candlelight dinner on their lanai. To us simply the best place to stay on Kaua'i.
