Nani Ka O Wai'oli

Upon arrival we found that we would not be able to stay in our rental because of flooding in the area. We lost one night rental and another day because the house was not cleaned and we could not get in the rental. If you rent in this area you definitely need to realize that flooding is a possibility. There was a massive storm that hit this area. We had planned to surf but were told by local surfers that the water was not safe from bacteria and possible sharks. We had a small child and was told that the beach was not safe from bacteria from the river run offs. There was a large hole in the yard that we were told would be fixed the next day and it wasn't fixed until the day before we checked out. There were teenagers partying with their trucks in front of the house on the beach. I don't know if that's always allowed. We didn't feel safe taking our beach chairs down and just sitting on the beach. We didn't take out insurance . We might have been mistaken but we didn't think it covered natural disasters. I would recommend reading the fine print and possibly getting something writen to clarify about natural disasters. We had excellent communication from the homeowner before we arrived but was not always able to reach her after we arrived. We had never rented from her before so all of the confusion from the storm may have been the problem. We are trying to work with VRBO to mediate at least one night rental return with the homeowner. The house should have been ready when the roads were open. I would suggest you take more money in case you get in this situation. Hotel rental for 6 people is expensive in Kaui.

This house just feet from the Hanalei beach was absolutely perfect for me and my family, 6 of us. The kitchen was completely stocked with everything one would need, the beds the most comfortable I've slept on and the location was just a 10 minute walk into the village. This end of the beach in Hanalei Bay was very quiet and peaceful and the waves were challenging for surfing but the water calm enough for young children. I'd definitely recommend this to friends and hope to return myself.

We stayed at ka Nani o wai oli for five days of fun in the sun. Once u arrive you realize your in for a comfortable stay with a wall of windows that puts the view in your living room. The loft and master bed just top it off. Your located in the center of hanalai bay i think the nicest part of the island. Very nice vacation home. I highly recommend it.

My family and I have loved our time at this house. Nestled between mountains, the gorgeous Hanalei Bay and lush green fields with lots of palm trees, the views from all windows of this house were simply breath-taking. The house was extremely well-equipped, clean and comfortable. The house is right on the Hanalei beach. We would definitely like to go back as soon as we can and stay longer this time.

We were planning our destination wedding and could not find a "venue" that suited our vision of a small wedding and reception. Our family and friends totaled 25 and all wanted to contribute to our "potluck". My husband and I found the home owners very gracious and accommodating on every aspect and went above and beyond for our special day. We will always treasure all the memories of this amazingly beautiful place and hope one day to return for a few anniversaries. Thank you!
