About this house rental
"Puanani," Hawaiian for beautiful flower, is a Hawaiian-style family home located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac within easy walking distance of Hanalei Bay and town. A large yard with plumeria, hibiscus, night-blooming jasmine and a lush garden with melodic songbirds can be enjoyed from the front and back covered lanais. Decorated with wicker and bamboo furniture and designed with open beam ceilings and natural cedar walls, the house has a spacious, comfortable feeling.
The crescent beach of Hanalei Bay is a short walk away for sunbathing, beach combing, seasonal swimming and spectacular sunsets. Take a stroll down the beach to the historic Hanalei pier to enjoy stunning views of the surrounding mountains and waterfalls.
Another short walk brings you to the quaint town of Hanalei, where numerous shops and restaurants are located along with a market and post office. While exploring this historic town, sample local favorites, shaved ice and smoothies.
Other north shore activities include snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing, windsurfing, hiking, horseback riding, tennis and golf.

Kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. Very comfortable house in a great location. Loved the outdoor shower. Plenty of screened windows to let cooler air circulate.

Fantastic stay! This home is so charming and has everything you could need. Extremely clean and the beds were comfortable. Note that the house does not have AC. We stayed in September and found we didn't need it, the fans worked well for us. We will stay again if in the area!

Reviewer Comments:
An ideal home base for our North Shore vacation, this home allowed us to feel like we lived right in Hanalei. Super easy walk to the beach, even carrying all our gear. Walking to town for meals and shopping is even easier. We loved being on a quiet, residential street where we could get good sleep and have plenty of space all to ourselves. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. It felt like home for the time we were lucky enough to stay there. I would definitely stay there again!

Reviewer Comments:
The house is lovely, in a typical Hawaiian style. It is in a great location in Hanalei - a couple blocks to the shops and the beach and has a very nice garden and deck area. The neighborhood is a bit of a challenge however owing to the complete lack of soundproofing. Quiet time is mentioned but this includes INSIDE the home too. Forget watching TV after dinner for which we were visited, yelled and swore at. I enjoyed a similar experience a couple days later (without the visit) for talking too loudly while doing the dishes at 8 20 in the evening.Bring a good book. Go to bed at 8pm. Talk to no-one for the remainder of the night and you'll be fine. It is a house I would have gladly returned to but NOT in the current environment - nor will I be encouraging friends and family to go.
