Malapua

Great host with rapid response, good info, helped us out when we asked about stuff, etc. Great home, very cosy and wonderful for our family of 5, close to beach, close to coffee and shops and restaurants, in between the two which was ideal for us. Home also has surfboards and boogieboards, etc. so no need to bring or rent that. Neighbours cant see you much so good privacy in that sense.

I chose this home so that we could be walking distance to the beach, food and shopping. It was everything I expected. I did have one issue with a bedroom ceiling fan, management was super responsive and had a new one installed the next day. The handyman was amazing and respectful. I’d definitely stay here again! Highly recommend.

We've stayed in Hanalei on a few other occasions and this was by far our favorite home! It's well appointed and comfortable, with a homey & lived in vibe so you feel like you can curl your feet up on the couch. The covered lanai is a great place to hang out, enjoy a meal, or play some games...with a view that can't be beat. The beach equipment (wagon, chairs, boogie board, SUP boards, umbrella, coolers) made for really enjoyable days at the beach, and the outdoor shower let us leave all the sand and salt outside. This home is located very close to town with all the shops and restaurants and a quick 2 minute walk to the beach. We loved every minute of our stay and there was nothing the house lacked. The only small comment is that the wifi was a bit slow and had weak security, we had good cell service and this wasn't an issue at all for us, but something that could be improved. From my first inquiry call to Na Pali Properties through our whole stay, communication was great and very friendly. We would 100% stay here again!

House was comfortable and felt like we were staying in a friend's home rather than a sterile rental, an excellent location of course for our 2 year old and grandparents, the lanai was perfect for hanging with family and the outdoor shower was absolutely clutch for post-beach sand removal! We would absolutely stay again and the communication was great along the way.

We recently stayed at this charming house in Hanalei and overall had a delightful experience. The location was just perfect - walkable to all the shops and the beach. The house itself was great - very comfortable. Beautiful private yard and large covered lanai with a large dining table to eat outside. The kitchen was stocked! Anything you need, you will find it! Need a garlic press? There were TWO! I did read another review stating the equipment looked like it was from a thrift shop - and that may be, it was a bit worn, but I was not expecting brand new everything. I loved having the variety - worked perfectly for us as we cooked every night. I also loved that they had a compost bin (we compost at home and I loved the ability to continue my usual habits). There are 3 bedrooms - the one with 2 twins also has a large desk (was convenient for my husband who had to take a few work calls). There were a few minor issues - the oven was not super clean and the dishwasher latch did not work, therefore we had to wash most dishes by hand. The furniture could use an upgrade, but most places we have rented in Kauai in this price range are similar. These were not dealbreakers for me and to be fair, I did try to call the property management company to alert them, missed the call back and did not try again. I was enjoying my vacation too much to bother with the small things! Despite these issues, I would recommend the house and would definitely stay here again!

Great house in a great location in Hanalei. Quick walk to the beach or to shops and restaurants. Can’t get more central of a location. The house is beautiful and comfortable, well stocked including a lot of beach equipment and wagons to tow things. Host was responsive and had excellent communication. Had a wonderful stay over Christmas and new years.

Charming garden & nice lanai

Great vacation and 70th birthday!

The home and yard are beautiful and perfectly located between town and the beach. Some beach gear and a wagon are available to use with the house which was quite helpful. Jane was responsive and went the extra mile when our son became ill on the day of our check-in. We would stay here again.

Fantastic location right between beach and town. We loved the giant beautiful garden - and the nicely large lanai has a great view. Kitchen was well stocked and had everything you could need. Overall a very comfy stay for our family. Could use some refreshed furnishings and cushions and cleanup of house and garden supplies downstairs.

Malapua has everything you would want and need for a Hanalei rental - excellent comfort, lovely interior finishes and a terrific deck overlooking the backyard and nearby mountains/waterfalls - we ate every meal there. Its superb location in the heart of town was super convenient just steps to the main beach, so we never had to deal with parking. On our last night we were on the waitlist at Restaurant BarAcuda, and were thrilled to get a text that a table was waiting for us - the 5 minute walk over made it a snap. The bedding, furniture and feel were all top notch. One of our favorite items was the awesome outdoor shower with rainfall showerhead - the perfect way to arrive and feel like home after surfing, beaching or hiking the Kalalau Trail.Its a well equipped home and checks all the boxes......

Well-maintained property in a beautiful location. Clean inside with lots of beach extras.

Manager's Response

Walk to beach or town with ease - no car needed! Beautiful lanai and backyard with accessible kitchen and plenty of room. A well-maintained property with bonus beach toys and wagon.

The location can't be beat. S very short walk to Hanalei town and a block to the beach (Pavilions). The house was wonderful and had amazing outdoor spaces. A very large covered lanai with a table that seats 8 people and is on the second floor - where all fo the living spaces are - that has private views out to the mountains and the great backyard with beautiful gardens.

Lovely! Clean! Perfectly appointed! Well-stocked kitchen!

We really enjoyed this beautiful home in the heart of Hanalei. The view from the deck was just majestic, the beds were pretty comfortable, and we loved being able to walk to the beach or town so easily. Hanalei is one of our family’s favorite places in the whole world :)

What a hanalei dream! We stayed here with our two kids for several months and loved the mountain view. The kitchen is well equipped and the two king beds are great. Appreciated the big desk for work too.
