  Malolo Cottage is a wonderful cottage nestled in the heart of Hanalei town. Quiet and off the main road. Walk to beach, restaurants, shops. Malolo Cottage is nicely decorated with an island vibe. Clean, comfortable and just right for exploring the Hanalei area. We'll be back!

  Once again we has a great time at Malolo Cottage. Having been to Hanlei many times over the years, we especially enjoyed the location. We only used our rental car from and to the airport, enjoyed walking every morning and strolling to the shops and restaurants. Na Pali Properties were available and helpful, the house was clean and well equipped for our needs. If you want a little piece of heaven - try it out.

  Pamela L from Lafayette, CO recommends this vacation rental

  It was pretty perfect.
  On past visits we have stayed closer to Pavilions than Pine Trees, and this was much better, with less traffic and a short stroll to an uncrowded beach. the cottage was well ticked with all essentials,, boogie boards, beach chairs, snorkels, etc.A beach umbrella might have been nice, too. The kitchen had everything needed except counter space for food prep. The beds are very good. Neighbors were never noisy. Our favorite dinner out was at Barracuda. Great food.

  We lovingly referred to this rental as our family surf shack for the week. My partner and I worked remotely during our stay which worked out perfectly because during down hours we could easily walk to and from the beach. Hanalei is such a gem and was a perfect surf and boogie board spot for our family.

  Jim H from Sausalito, CA recommends this vacation rental

  we have stayed at Malolo a few times, always great.Very clean and stocked well with supplies that matter e.g. coffee filters. So convenient by bicycle to both ends of Hanalei Beach. As good as one might expect for a couple who chooses to avoid hotel scenes and the people drawn to that option.
  There are only two things that we can mention needing any attention: the Weber has no top and the blinds on back wall over bed do not easily come down if lifted to access the window mechanism. The team of Hali and Joan were excellent as management hosts. If you are considering this property and are 2 people or 2 with small child do not hesitate to book (always in June-Aug so we can have a chance to return in our preferred months).

  From the short walk to downtown Hanalei, to the great view of the mountains - with waterfalls - to the short jaunt to the beach, it was wonderful!
  Thank you Napali Properties.

  Malolo Cottage was clean, simple, adequate. The location was very convenient to either the beach or town. The view of the mountains was beautiful. The outdoor shower is a good substitute for the inside shower which is a bit small, the outside washer dryer are new and clean. The cottage is basically one room and a bathroom, the decor is dated and minimal. but clean, comfortable and cozy, The kitchen is fine for basic breakfast/lunch or simple dinner prep. The neighborhood was quiet, but only one other house was occupied while we were there. We spent 10 happy days, content at Malolo Cottage.

  We loved staying in Malolo Cottage! We're big fans of Hanalei, and even though it's obviously gentrifying, we're so grateful that there are still some simple homes there, like in the "old days." I did yoga every night under the stars on the soft lawn. We ate breakfast every morning on the lanai. We went to the beach every day, and used the washer/dryer and the clothes line to keep our clothes clean and dry during our stay. Oh, and did I mention the orange trees in the yard? And of course everything in Hanalei is walking distance. We can't wait to come back. Mahalo for your hospitality!

  As the pictures show, this is not a luxury vacation rental. However, the location cannot be beat. It is a 5 minute walk to the beach and to the shops and restaurants of Hanalei. The cottage was clean, quiet, and very comfortable. NaPali Properties has not returned my deposit after 35 days. I left the cottage clean, and the towels I used were drying in the dryer when I departed at 8:30am.

  Older dated studio but in an excellent location in Hanalei. Only one block from the beach. Very clean but smaller than we were used to. We had a great time. Couches were low to the ground which were hard for us being that we are older. Shower is very small (30x30) but we made due. Take soap and shampoo from home because it's not there. We did have a great time.
