We really loved our stay at Hale Ola Kai for several reasons. First of all, the location was amazing - literally around the corner and across the street from the beach park at Hanalei Bay. It was easy access directly to the beach. The home is in a very quiet and peaceful culdesac. We loved using the surf boards, SUP, boogie boards, chairs and miscellaneous beach equipment. The kitchen was amazing and had everything we needed to fix our meals at home and eat outside on the deck, which had incredible views all around. The rooms were comfortable and having 3 bathrooms was great. The one room with the 2 twin beds wasn't air conditioned, so we had to make sure we turned on all the fans and opened windows to get a breeze, otherwise it was uncomfortable for a bit. We didn't even use the downstairs family room or office and kitchenette, but it would be great if we had the need to stay inside. I also really loved the fact that there was enough seating indoors for our whole family to relax at the end of the day - there are 3 large couches in the upstairs family room. I really loved the fact that I felt like I was walking into a home that had everything I needed for my vacation - from garbage bags, laundry soap, bathroom supplies, extra towels and linens, a fully stocked kitchen, cleaning supplies, beach toys, etc. It made it so much easier to relax as well as clean up after ourselves. I would highly recommend this rental and we are excited to return again soon!
