Hallor House TVNC #5147

Great place, location and amenities. Easy walk to the beach and nice setting. The house was clean and well appointed, would definitely stay again.

The property manager was very helpful, with great communication from start to finish. I would stay here again and recommend to friends without hesitation. Bed in master bedroom is super-soft (only bed we used), pressure and heat in the shower is good, and the kitchen is organized well. We loved the peaceful location close to the beach and away from the crowds.

 

We loved our stay here, tunnels beach was within walking distance and is so breathtakingly beautiful. The house was clean and well stocked and we made good use of the outdoor shower. The bed could have been comfier, but overall a great stay !

After being cooped up in my covid box since the summer, I needed a solid get away with my girlfriend. Kaui seemed like the perfect spot. I did not want to be in a resort with elevators and crowded amenities, so I booked this vacation for two weeks after new year to avoid the masses. The location was perfect, on the north shore about 15 minutes west of the town of Hanalei. It was far enough from town to feel remote (need to cross about 5 1-way bridges), but close enough to grab food and supplies. From the house it was a quick 5min walk to Tunnels beach. The house provided everything we needed. We used the new gas BBQ almost every night, cooking the freshest Ahi, Mahi Mahi, Ono, and Salmon I've ever had the pleasure of preparing, along with organic fruits and veggies purchased at the farmer's markets. A bit further from the house was Kilauea where we'd go to get excellent espresso and matcha latte's from a top notch barista, fresh pressed juices, and fresh fish from the fish market or grocery store (much better groceries than in Hanalei or Princeville). We also loved to eat lunch over the amazing views at Nourish, an organic vegan farm to table food stand. Tunnels beach was super peaceful with very few folks on the beach. The reef is way out, so while surfers were catching massive waves the beach was nice and calm for swimming and snorkeling. The house provided us with a large beach bag, towels, umbrellas, and bamboo mats to sit on, as well as snorkels and masks. We had an amazing afternoon at the Limahuli Garden & Preserve botanical garden which was a 30min. walk from the house. We mistakenly showed up around 4:30pm to find the place was empty... it took us a while to realize it closed at 3pm, but it didn't stop us from doing the full tour (was MUCH better than wearing a mask and socially distancing from tourists ;)). Another day we took a ride down to Kapaa where we hiked the Sleeping Giant which was a great workout with amazing photo ops. The one unexpected "issue" we found was that the island is loaded with chickens and roosters who liked to welcome in the new day. Fortunately we brought along a bluetooth speaker to drown them out with white noise. I highly recommend this trick for anyone renting a house in Kaui (I assume hotels keep them away). While the house wasn't the nicest property I've had the pleasure of renting on AirBnB, it was more than adequate considering the amount of time you want to be out of the house while enjoying this magical island. Mahalo!

We loved the house and how remote it was. We enjoyed Tunnels Beach which was a short walk from the house and how close it was to the Na Pali Coast. We enjoyed the restaurants in Hanalei. It was a fantastic place to spend a week and relax.

 

This location was wonderful for us. Although on a little cul de sac, the next private driveway led directly onto tunnels beach (about 1 ½ block walk) so we saw many sun rises & sunsets from the beach. Entry & communication were seamless. We loved the fluffy beach towels. The beds were quite comfortable. The upstairs loft has 2 small twins and no chairs or closet and overlooks the living room. Hanalei is about 20 minutes easy and beautiful drive. We had a reservation for Bar Acuda (fantastic- many veg options) and Postcard. But also loved the holy grail taro donuts & other food trucks. Don’t forget to make reservations if you want to hike kalalau trail, take a boat ride on na Pali coast, or visit the exquisite Limahuli Botanical Gardens. We liked oh swell at the little market near to the rental awesome as well. We would stay here again. A bit pricy—but the ease to the beach and clean, comfortable, location alluring!

The location is fantastic and the house is clean and comfortable. We had a great stay (5 adults) and loved being able to walk to Tunnels Beach and watch the sunset every night.

We love the north shore and this home is perfect!!!!!! The house is beautiful and clean and quiet, we had a wonderful trip, would definitely try and book this home again. Great communication if needed, couldn’t be happier.

Amazing place, just a couple blocks off tunnels beach, clean and plenty of space for our family of six!

This house was absolutely perfect for our group of 4 adults and 2 kids. The location just can’t be beat, literally a 5 minute walk to the most beautiful beach with a backdrop of stunning lush mountains and cliffs. We saw dozens of different varieties of tropical fish, turtles and seals when the waves were calm enough to snorkel. The sunrises and sunsets produced brilliant, vivid colors in the sky and sea that were picture perfect. The beds were cozy and our kids loved their loft. There is no AC but the fans work well to keep things comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare nearly every meal at home right down to the garlic press (although the chefs knife was missing from the block). We especially appreciated all the beach gear provided (snorkeling gear, chairs, umbrella, insulated cooler, matts, towels, frisbee, paddle ball and even big beach bags for carrying it all). Hanalei Bay is adorable, had everything you need and is just a short beautiful drive away. We want to come back every year!

What a beautiful home. And walking distance to a spectacular beach! The property management team provided everything we needed to enjoy a comfortable stay. Thank you!

Great house, very clean, well appointed and in a fantastic location. Property was as described with some very nice additional touches that really put this place over the top! Communication, check in/check out were fantastic and easy. 5/5 - would stay again and highly recommend!

Nice short hike to the beach. Very comfortable home with a great design, including a functional kitchen and a great upstairs loft space. Perfect for the three of us. It’s hard to beat the location near Tunnels. The property manager, Sophia, went out of her way to help accommodate our arrival needs, which where impacted by the Kuhio mudslide construction schedule. Would gladly return.

This property is amazing! It has been updated and it is well taken care of. It is in a quite area of Hanea. It is a 20 minute drive to Hanalei but it is literally on tunnels beach. It took 5 minutes in the jungle path walk. We went out and snorkeled every morning and watched the sunset every night. I have already recommended it to friends and we will be booking it in the future as well.

Very comfortable house with well equipped kitchen. All the appliances you could need, spices and a wonderful welcome basket with assorted tropical fruits, coffee, and other goodies!

Great place to stay for a little getaway in nature. It had a very unique jungle feel to it which we loved but definitely ran into a few critters and could hear every little noise outside so be prepared. The house was clean and felt very roomy. The location was great. The hike to the beach was worth it, we loved Tunnels beach and appreciated the snorkel gear provided. We saw some pretty cool fish there! The only thing that bothered me was the expensive cleaning fee since it was just me and my husband and we still had to wash all the towels. Overall this was a great place and we would love to stay again if we visit the island again.

Great place. We loved the drive back and forth to town when we needed to. Hanalei was great for some shopping and dining. The fresh seafood market was a hit for us. Most of our dining was done at the house. Pots and pans and utensils were all there for us. The location was perfect for walking to the insane/amazing beaches nearby. The host was quick w responses and recommendations for organic groceries and local fare on our way in. Outdoor shower was a hit. The porch was a regular meal spot. Check in was a breeze. Check out was just as easy. Bing. Bang. Boom. Def would return...

Our stay at Hallor House was wonderful. We arrived very late and they left all the lights on for us. The house is great and updated and is so nicely stocked with all the necessities. An amazing washer/dryer set which is a must for beach vacations, beach towels, chairs, etc. The kitchen has been really nicely updated and had everything we needed. There is no AC but we certainly didn’t need it as there was always a lovely breeze that came through when we opened up the blinds. It took me a couple of days to get used to the roosters at 1 am, (apparently they missed the memo on sounding the alarm at dawn) but after that I slept right through it. The best part is the easy walk to Tunnels beach which is stunning. We actually never went anywhere else. When we were there, there was quite a brisk wind as you come out onto the beach from the path but if you take a left and walk around the bend on the beach toward the mountains, there’s a big fallen log and almost exactly at that point you won’t feel the wind anymore. Not sure if it’s like that all year. We saw monk seals sleeping on the beach almost daily (keep your distance) and one high surf day we saw tons of sea turtles. This was a lovely vacation, quiet and peaceful. It’s a bit of a winding drive into Hanalei for groceries, restaurants and shops, but the views along the way are beautiful so I didn’t mind at all. I would not hesitate to stay at Hallor House again on a return to Kauai.

great location and very nice and clean rental
