Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was perfect, a short walk into town, and a few blocks from the beach. We loved that we didn’t need to drive anywhere once we arrived. The place itself was clean, the hosts were responsive, and it had a comfy bed and the kitchen was great! This was my second time staying with Makana and I will definitely stay with them again.

Located in a residential neighborhood but the feel of an isolated setting. The views from all the windows were of greenery and mountains. We could see a portion of one house across the street. And the sounds from the birds were wonderful. Only a couple of blocks from our favorite beach. Load the wagon with beach chairs, umbrella, and bugey boards.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I recently enjoyed our stay in Hanalei at "Happy place". This is an excellent location and we walked to the beach and town easily several times. This really added to the Hanalei experience that we had not had form past stays further from town. The one room studio was very well appointed, clean and comfortable. The only disappointment was the lack of an outdoor sitting area to enjoy that experience in the mornings/evenings. That could be accommodated by building a small patio behind the bungalow in a grassy area. We brough chairs back there but felt like we were sitting in the owner's backyard (they were never home, so no issue).

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a very short stay in Hanalei. We had originally planned to stay almost twice as long in a larger location in Dec but when we rescheduled, our stay was shortened as the daily rate had increased greatly. That did result in a bad taste for the property. But the place was sufficient for us two and was clean and convenient to the beach and town. The house is difficult to find in the dark as the street number is not visible from the street. And there was no one available at the emergency number. Overall we enjoyed our stay but thought it was overpriced.

10/10

We had a terrific time. The location was as perfect - close to the beach and an easy walk to shops & restaurants. Would have given them 5 stars for everything, but internet was down and there wasn’t a backup plan for communicating with them. Everything else was great!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property as described. There was a slow running toilet for which management had arranged to have plumber arrive the first full day of the stay. Minor inconvenience that was repaired well. Cleaners at mid stay were friendly and did excellent work. The property is easy walk to the beach and restaurants. Easy to park a car and get anywhere on the island. I enjoyed being on the north shore which felt less busy than other places, although the restaurants did get busy at typical times. Would stay here again.

10/10

Very comfortable for 2 people. Close walk to both the beach and Hanalei. Owners provide beach chairs, umbrella and buggy to take to the beach. Washer and dryer in the garage too! Cleaning service was provided several times during our longer stay. The only issue is that there is not great outdoor space to hang out at the bungalow. View is fabulous and gardens are gorgeous. Loved our stay!
