Perfect

This house is beautifully decorated, very clean and large! We loved the kitchen, balcony with view of the ocean and the other outdoor space, but best of all is the one minute walk to the beach and five minute walk to the restaurants, shops, etc... could not be better!

There are not enough superlatives to describe our experience at this home. It is spacious, comfortable, beautifully furnished and the kitchen(s) are intuitively designed and well equipped with everything one who enjoys cooking could need (except for a garlic press, our only negative comment!). Also tons of beach chairs, towels, boogie boards, umbrellas and a wagon to carry it all!
We have previously only stayed on the ocean side of Weke Road so we were unsure if "steps to the beach" was really accurate, and it is. It is only about 100 steps from the front door to the entrance to the beach. Literally maybe a 90 second walk.
We LOVED this home and can't wait to go back.

Everything you could ever need in a rental property. The location was perfect! Right across the street from the beach and within walking distance of everything in Hanalei! Love, love, love!!

Our family of 6 adults and one 18 month old stayed at this property on Hanalei Bay for two weeks. The management could not have been more accommodating and responsive to our questions/needs. The home is spotless, beautifully decorated and stocked with paper towels, toilet paper, soaps, laundry detergent and cleaning supplies. The location of the home is perfect for a quick walk into town or to the beach. We enjoyed the ping pong table as well as the three lanais. Our little guy loved the beach toys waiting for him, and we were thankful for the beach chairs, umbrellas and wagon to cart our stuff. The outdoor shower made rinsing off after a beach day a snap. We enjoyed ourselves immensely at this home and wished for more days to enjoy this magnificent place.

We had a terrific family vacation at this Hanalei Bay rental house. The location was very convenient. The house was clean inside and out, and better than the photos. It was perfect for our family of 5 adults.

From arrival to departure this home did not disappoint! The home was exceptionally clean and the furnishings were well maintained and beautiful. We cooked breakfast and dinner at the home every day. The kitchen was well appointed and a joy to cook in. The AC units in each of the bedrooms and upper family room worked great when we needed them. We really appreciated the boogie boards, beach chairs, beach wagon and beach towels available to us at the home. All of the mattresses were super comfortable. The only negative critique I can give is for the mattress in the upper secondary bedroom, each side had developed the "dips" that occur with time.
The location of the home made the stay super easy for our group of 8. A quick walk into Hanalei for happy hour, groceries, shaved ice or fish from the Dolphin market allowed everyone to do what they wanted on their schedule. Memorable home for a memorable family vacation!

Nalu Hanalei was perfect for 2 couples upstairs and a family of 3 downstairs. Upstairs balcony very comfortable for dining or lounging. Great views. Walk to beach was convenient. Walk to town is also convenient.
2 very minor suggestions:
Would be nice to have a flat skillet for making pancakes/French Toast.
Would also be nice to provide tissues/Kleenex somewhere in house.
All in all, highly recommend Nalu Hanalei.

We absolutely loved everything about this house! It’s beautiful, clean, spacious, and couldn’t have a better location! Such a gorgeous view plus it was so easy to walk everywhere. We loved everything about Hanalei Bay and we can’t wait to return!

Nalu Hanalei is an outstanding rental property. It’s location on Weke Road is ideal. Although not situated directly beachfront, the ocean views from inside the home and from the upstairs lanai are absolutely incredible because of an undeveloped beachfront lot across the street. The home’s interior is beautiful, comfortable, spacious and as represented in online photos. Split system air conditioning keeps home cool during hot afternoons. We were a group of 6, family and friends. The young adults stayed downstairs with their own two bedrooms, bath, kitchen, living area, and lanai. We would gather upstairs for group meals at either of the large dining tables, one inside, one outside on lanai. Kitchen is well-outfitted with everything one may need for food prep, serving, etc. The town of Hanalei was a short walk away. We walked to Dolphin Fish Market and picked up delicious fresh fish, sushi and poke. Bay is perfect for swimming and bodysurfing. The clean, soft sand beach is a great place to relax, play and enjoy the day. Wonderful hikes nearby. There are no large resorts in the town of Hanalei. It is a special place.

Beautiful house convenient to beach and great view. Upstairs refrigerator's freezer unusable - could use the one downstairs but was a bit inconvenient. Would definitely stay there again.

While not directly on the ocean, this home provides views of the surf and has easy access to the beach. Furnishings are updated and most comfortable. The open layout upstairs, large lanai, and separate living room downstairs make the home ideal for groups.

Nalu Hanalei was perfect for our family with three adult children and their spouses. Four great bedrooms & two kitchens gave everyone space along with great indoor/outdoor options for family dinners. When they acquired the home, Makana Properties handled the transition from VRBO very professionally. Walking distance to beach, town, everything...

Fifth time staying at Nalu always delivers a wonderful experience. The property was available and clean after a long day of travel. The new AC added to the unit is amazing! The property management company was responsive to a small request and more than willing to help. All in all it was a wonderful stay. The property matches its description...location is perfect if you want long days on the beach and shorts walks into town.

Our rental was fantastic! We had six people and room for more. It was located right across the street from the beach. Perfect location and a very short walk to town (Hanalei). The view from our balcony was perfect at sunset. This rental is actually better than shown online. We would definitely stay here again and again.

Our 3 generation family of 8 cherished our stay at Nalu Hanalei. Although not directly on the beach, the house afforded views of Hanalei Bay and easy access to the beach. The house was well appointed with upscale furniture, AC and a most wonderful outdoor family room.

We had a fabulous stay! The house could not be more perfect. It's well-stocked, clean and close to the beach. What more do you want?
I could live on the lanai! The view is just so special.
As we left, our grandson looked very sad. When asked what was wrong, he said, "I'm going to miss that house."

We had an awesome time at Nalu Hanalei! The house is beautiful and well stocked. The fresh flowers on arrival was a lovely touch. We had a problem with a leaky freezer but the staff at Makana Properties took care of it as best they could.
