Photos and Description of the Hanalei vacation house rental
House, 5 Bedrooms + Den, 3 Baths, (Sleeps 10)

Maluhia Hanalei is a beautiful Hawaiian-style home just one block from the magnificent two-mile crescent beach at world-renowned Hanalei Bay.

The furnishings, amenities, and setting make it a wonderful vacation home from which to enjoy the wonders of Kauai's North Shore.

Within a ten-minute drive you will find numerous beautiful beaches and a huge variety of activities to keep you busy. A two-minute walk from the house is magnificent Hanalei Bay and its famous, white-sand beach. A short stroll will bring you to quaint, historic, downtown Hanalei, with its wonderful array of restaurants, shops, and galleries.

The house is at the end of a cul-de-sac, set back off the road, and down a long driveway on a wonderfully-landscaped quarter acre adjacent to a conservation area. The setting is lush, green, private, quiet, very secluded, and yet only a block to the beach and a five-minute walk into town. An ideal location.

Maluhia Hanalei is a single-family home which will accommodate up to 10 guests. Groups of up to 6 can rent the three-bedroom top half of the house. There are an two more bedrooms with a family room and full bath downstairs for up to an additional 4 guests.

The house is beautifully decorated and fully equipped. Larger groups will find that the whole house combines to make an ideal vacation home for up to 10. The individual suites give the smaller groups within the large one their own separate spaces.

Guests will enjoy the wonderful outdoor shower, the myriad birds in the trees, the wonderful sunrises and sunsets, the lush foliage and flowers everywhere, and the lovely views from the extensive lanais and patios.

About Marney Craig

Like so many other visitors, I was entranced by the sheer beauty of the north shore of Kauai. It gives me so much pleasure to be able to share this paradise with others by opening my home to visitors from all over, so they too may experience the rare unspoiled nature of one of the most special places on earth.

Marney Craig purchased this house in 2000
Why Marney Craig chose Hanalei

My travels have taken me all over the world, but Kauai always drew me back. Hanalei and the north shore of Kauai will never change, never be developed, never have hotels, condos, or very much tourist infrastructure. This most beautiful spot is protected and secure in it's beauty and appeal. What better spot to have a home to come to and to share with others.

What makes this house unique

My home is not only beautiful, charming, comfortable and inviting, but also very private and secluded, surrounded by beautiful gardens, and adjacent to a tropical hardwood forest. The foliage, the flowers, the birds, the sunrise, the relaxation of this wonderful environment, combined with the beach at Hanalei Bay and Hanalei town both being a very short walk from the house make it the ideal spot for the ultimate getaway.

A slice of heaven!

We were two families (total of 10 people) renting the main house and the apartment below. It was absolutely perfect for us!

After nearly 5 years of planning, we were finally able to enjoy this wonderful home! Marney was incredibly accommodating, going above and beyond in the planning and procuring of our vacation rental.

The house and apartment were perfect for our 2 families. Having stayed in several VRBO homes before, I was incredibly impressed at how well it was stocked. One of my favorite family traditions while in Kauai is to go to the fish market and get fresh fish then make up new recipes on the spot, based on what we have on hand. We call it "kitchen cupboard fish". Marney had every single spice I could imagine. Combined with her excellent kitchen supplies and utensils, I made an utterly fabulous gourmet meal.

We had 5 children with us, ranging in age from 2-8 years of age. There was a toy or activity for every single age group!

For 7-10 days at a time, each new family feels like they live in a slice of paradise. It feels like your own home and for that short period, you are the exquisite owner in the most magical place on earth. Marney, thank you for creating such an inviting home to entertain our wildest daydreams!

We'll be back to make more precious memories!

Beautiful and Lush

I spent 10 days in January at this beautiful house, and wish I could have stayed forever. If you want to truly feel Hawaii, and to get away for fun, rest, and relaxation in true Hawaiian style, this is the spot. It is is surrounded by lush gardens with beautiful flowers, lime, avocado, and banana trees. The house is very comfortable and has all the amenities you need, including beach equipment; chairs, boogie boards and snorkeling gear. It is a great place to go as a couple or as a group. I went with a group of friends we utilized the apartment and the house. The upstairs house was where we all gathered, shared meals, no one was ever on top of each other.

Hanalei Bay is just a block away; great for daily walks on the beach, swimming, and surfing. It is a very short walk to Hanalei town where you can eat out, shop or listen to music. We loved the Sushi at The Dolphin Fish Market, the Family style Luau at the Tahiti Nui and the Farmers Market on Saturday.

I highly recommend this place. The owner is very helpful and accommodating, great space, yard and overall proximity to all the beauty in Kauai.

An amazing, clean place within walking distance to town and beaches

Submitted: January 12, 2013 Stayed: October 2012
First of all, Marney is very accomodating and responds to all requests and questions timely. We were 2 couples and we stayed at Marney's Hibiscus upstairs for about a week. It truly is paradise. Plenty of windows for sunlight and breezes. The wraparound porch is just perfect for morning coffee, dining or just having cocktails while looking out at the coconut, avocado and banana trees. The place is very clean with ceiling fans in every room. The location is a short walk to the beach and Hanalei Bay is the best I've seen. The water is good for swimming, but our most fun was boogey boarding. Oh, and Marney has a great supply of water toys so no need to bring your own. The town of Hanalei is within in walking distance. Be sure to check out the farmer's market and the local shops.
I am highly recommending Marney's place in Hanalei Bay. It is beautiful and we know we'll be back.

Amazing place in Halalei

5 of 5
Submitted: September 3, 2012 Stayed: May 2012
This place was simply amazing! We rented the entire house: upstairs, downstairs, and attached studio. We mainly entertained upstairs, as it was very open, had access to the outdoor deck areas, and could accommodate all of our visiting friends, with plenty of room to mingle.

There's so many aspects to speak highly of, that made our stay comfortable. I'll start with the kitchen, which was spacious, with plenty of storage, cookware, and a very open floor plan for everyone to hang out. Off the kitchen area was the outside decks, which is where we spent most of our time. There's a picnic table, and seating for 4-6 others, and standing room to roam. Down the stairs below is the grill, which was used almost nightly for dinner.

The bedrooms and bathrooms were simple, but felt cozy and typical in the traditional island style. Specifically, the master bedroom was great, with the private bathroom and roomy deck overlooking the backyard, we loved it. Which

We got married during our stay and had the reception in the backyard. Let me tell you, it was gorgeous. Not having many neighbors in the back felt very private, and in a nice jungle-like setting. There's also lime and avocado tress with fruit, at least while we were there, which is nice for having fresh ingredients to pluck and use on-premisis.

There's a large closet full of beach stuff. Chairs, coolers, bodyboards, masks, snorkels, fins, umbrellas, etc. And, with a short walk to the beach, you can head out for the day, or any evening stroll, within a few minutes.

I'd highly recommend this rental. Plenty of space, a nice yard, and walking proximity to one of the nicest beaches on Kauai.

home in tropical paradise

5 of 5
Submitted: June 4, 2012 Stayed: April 2012
We are two couples who fell in love with this beautiful property. We occupied the upper floor known as Hibiscus for 5 nights in mid-April. Upon arrival we were overwhelmed by the beauty and privacy of this home. In the back is a lovely stream in a tropical area and the entire home is surrounded by lush vegetation. The sounds of the birds is a treat in itself. As for the chickens' early morning "wake up" calls, that's part of being in Hanelei :-) Thanks to Beaux the house was spotless and very comfortable. The owner Marney was the most prompt, responsive and hellpful "hostess" with whom I have ever communicated. She has become a good friend and I hope to keep in touch. One of the our most important criteria is good beds and these were excellent. The kitchen is very well equipped and large enough for several cooks at the same time. Our favorite spot in the house was the wrap-around lanai--perfect for meals and relaxing. The location could not be more convenient--a very short walk to the beach and main street restaurants. Delightful little village with very friendly and accommodating people. Some of our favorite activities were hiking the Napali Coast trail as far as one could go without a permit (take water shoes as you must cross a stream at the end in order to get to the beach area). strolling through the interesting and beautiful Limahuli Gardens, exploring the lovely Secret Beach, and our incredible catamarran cruise with Captain Bob on the Napali Sea Breeze. The sea co-operated and he was able to take us inside a sea cave. We enjoyed delicious deli sandwiches after fun snorkeling in a calm bay. I highly recommend The Ultimate Kauai tour book before and during your travels. Author is amusing, the many maps indispensible, and his recommendations are spot on. We've stayed in a lot of homes and this one is definitely on our top 5 list. When it's dreary here at home, I close my eyes and am transported back to this tranquil setting. You'll love this gem.

A Peaceful Retreat

5 of 5
Submitted: May 17, 2012 Stayed: April 2012
Maluhia Hanalei is a peaceful, beautiful haven from which to enjoy a lovely holiday exploring Kauai. I stayed in the two bedroom, downstairs unit with my partner and another couple for 6 nights. We found the accommodation clean, tidy and comfortable - it had everything we needed during our stay, including beach gear and cooking facilities. The outdoor shower is a highlight! The garden surrounding the home is lush and gorgeous. The house is in an ideal location - it is a short walk to the beach (and its stunning sunsets) and town, and a short drive to all of the reasons you come to Kauai - the Napali coast, the national park, the snorkling and other watersports. I can't speak highly enough of Marney. She helped us without hesitation and with generosity when we were in a difficult situation because of a mistake (made by me) with our travel booking, and in all of my dealings with her she was both friendly and professional. If I didn't live in Australia I would return to Maluhia Hanalei in a heart beat!

A great value for a terrific Hanalei home!

5 of 5

I've rented many vacation homes in Hanalei, and this home is a stunning value that provides a great experience. Tucked back at the end of a curving cul-de-sac, you're living like a local (without the responsibilities). You can walk to the beach, or bike to town, in 5 minutes. Our group took the whole house and loved having two living rooms and kitchens to give us extra privacy. The lower apartment is nice and cool--if I needed 2 bedrooms it would be perfect. Loved the outdoor shower, patio and yard! The upper floor had plenty of room for all eight of us to cook, eat, watch TV, play games, and even dance! And Marney has all the chairs, boogie boards, and mats you'll need. She couldn't have been more hospitable. Highly recommended!
