Lovely Two Bedroom Apartment Just A Block from the Beach at Hanalei Bay

My husband and I were happily surprised when we arrived at the Plumeria Suite. The suite was perfect for the 2 of us, close to the beach and town, the bikes, comfortable bed, clean and the beach cart was so convenient. At first we were dreading anyone staying upstairs but we didn't even notice them. The caretakers of the property were very pleasant and kept the property up nicely. We are hopefully returning this Fall and my friends and I will be staying upstairs at the end of Oct.. So happy to have found this place. Thank you Marney!

We've stayed twice at the Plumeria Suite. The location is great because is close to the beach, close to town, and close to Pat's Taco Truck. The two bedroom apartment is comfortably appointed, very clean and has a very private feeling. The lanai is faces a lush tropical landscape. My wife took many photos of the grounds, and one of those is her desktop image. Being so close to Hanalei Bay is a real treat because you can swim with Puff the Magic Dragon. (You have to be there to truly experience it.) The kitchen is set up with all the necessary tools, and there's a brand new gas grill to cook outdoors. There are plenty of beach goodies that are available for guests to use, mats, umbrellas, chairs, boogie boards and more. It saves visitors from needing to pack and carry these things on their own. There are two showers in the suite, one spacious "rain shower" in the bathroom, and a refreshing outdoors shower, which is a real treat. Marney Craig, the owner is attentive and responds quickly and professionally. She maintains the property impeccably. We highly recommend staying at the Plumeria suite, and look forward to staying again. It's an ideal house in an ideal location, and would be a great choice for most anyone. It has been the home base for two paradisical vacations for us.

My husband and I stayed in the Plumeria 2 bedroom downstairs unit in this house. We had a wonderful time, and the relaxing environment of Hanalei was infectious! You can easily walk to the beach (just a short stroll down the residential street to a very close beach access). Hanalei is a beautiful, relaxed, quirky town with cute shops and restaurants. I would come back in a heartbeat and stay in this rental. The only drawback was that there wasn't any air conditioning (which seemed pretty common here), but the fans in the house made it manageable. We also had a wetter-than-normal week of weather (which probably didn't help). Marney has everything you need to enjoy your vacation (towls, laundry/supplies, beach chairs, boogie boards (and many other ocean toys), full kitchen & utensils, bug spray/candels, clothes line, patio chairs, etc. We were there while the other units in the house were occupied (seemed to be another downstairs unit and one upstairs unit). We felt like we had plenty of privacy, and the other renters were respectful, and, for the most part, our paths didn't cross. If you are thinking of coming to Kauai, I would highly recommend staying in this rental in Hanalei. It is quite a drive to the south shore, so if you plan to do a lot of sight seeing, It may be wise to split your time between a rental in the north and one in the south so you don't feel like you're spending all of your time in the car.

My wife and I sayed in Marnie's two-bedroom downstairs unit at Hanalei Bay, and had a great experience. The unit is in a great, quiet, and beautiful neighborhood, with only a 1-2 minute walk to the beach. The unit is in great shape - very well decorated with all the comforts we need to make our stay perfect. And the beds and pillows were very comfortable, something that we have not found in most other beachouses we've rented. The location is perfect - close to the beach, and only a 3 minute walk to the Hanalei town center. The walking made my wife and I feel less guilty about all the great food we ate in Hanalei each night. Marnie was a pleasure to deal with - everything worked out perfectly for us. We would definitely book here again when we return to Kauai!

My husband and I went to Hanalei for the first three nights of our trip to Kauai, and our only regret is that we didn't stay at Marney's place for the duration of our vacation!! We booked this place last minute and could not believe our luck! We also felt very fortunate that the entire house was empty and we know our experience, while still tranquil and peaceful, may have been a little bit different. Regardless, the house was in a quiet neighborhood and at the end of the cul-de-sac. It was only a block away from the Hanalei Pavilion which made it easy to run back to the house if we forgot anything once at the beach. The house had two bedrooms with ceiling fans, a private lanai, and an outdoor cooking stove. The outdoor shower was also located on the side of the lanai which made it so easy to clean off after coming home from the beach! The kitchen was equipped with some cooking amentieis which makes it convenient for those passing through. Additionally, the house was equipped with all the beach chairs, beach towels, and coolers that one could ask for! It made visiting Hanalei bay and the other beaches nearby a breeze! We cannot wait to head back to Hanalei and bring our entire family to rent out the two bedroom, as well as the rest of the house! Thank you Marney for being so accommodating and making our stay so pleasant and relaxing. Mahalo!! Esther and Dan

This 2BD apt is amazing. The whole house indeed. I have stayed in the studio and also in the 2BD multiple times in the last few years. it is a beautiful place located in the center of Hanalei town, 2 min walk to the paradise beach of Hanalei. It is surrounded by lush all around, palm trees, lemon, avocado and banana trees. It is very well maintained, super clean and it feels like home far from home. It is a perfect ambiance for relaxing and rejuvenating. Thumbs up in all aspects and I will certainly continue to return whenever I can. Thanks Marney C for making our stay always so pleasant.

This was our big family trip we have been talking about & saving for the last couple of years. We spent 7 nights on Kauai. We were a group of 13 (10 adults ages 21 to 50 & 3 grands ages 4 months, 2 & 3-1/2) & we wanted a house close to the beach & big enough for sleeping arrangements & spending quality time together. This house was perfect for that. It truly is a 3 minute walk to the beach - a beautiful, sandy beach that was fun for all ages - & a 5 minute walk to the town of Hanalei. We rented the 3 bedroom main part of the house, “Hibiscus” (2nd floor) & the 2 bedroom apartment on the main level, “Plumeria”. The house & apartment were as described, clean, & well stocked with everything you could need. When at the house we spent most of our time in Hibiscus. There was plenty of room for us all in the open floor plan of the living/kitchen/dining area of the house. The wrap around deck gave us even more space. There were toys & books for the kids as well as books, games, & movies for everyone else. There were plenty of beach chairs, boogie boards, beach towels, some beach toys, & beach umbrellas as well as 2 wagons to get everything to & from the beach, with a little space for a kid or 2. The house is surrounded by tropical plants & sounds, with a small yard in the back. The driveway had plenty of room for the 3 cars we rented. When at the house it does not feel like you are in a neighborhood cul-d-sac, but in the tropics. The setting around the house reminded me of when we visited Costa Rica. The master bedroom did seem to stay a little cooler than the rest of the house, which my husband & I appreciated. The deck off the master was wonderful to sit on as well. I do recommend good earplugs for sleeping as there are chickens & roosters in the area, well actually all over the island. With windows open they can wake you up earlier than you may want to be. Marney was very helpful & great with communication. We had a red eye flight home & she allowed us to us Plumeria for that day. It was so appreciated! Beaux was very helpful as well. Would definitely rent this house again for a group & highly recommend it.

We stayed in Hanalei Palms for 8 days. It is in a wonderful neighborhood just 2 blocks from the beach and walking distance to the shopping and restaurants. Marnie and Beaux took great care of us. There is an outside BBQ as well as a large closet full of all the toys you will need for the beach.We went kayaking on the river that you can see from the back porch.
