Beach House with bay view 1B/1BA Local-style Romantic bungalow on Hanalei Bay

Our Beach Home here next to Hanalei Bay can be yours (Standard Occupancy is 2*)! Walk out your front door and across the grass to the sand and sea.

Hanalei Moon Beach Cottage is named after the famous Hawaiian song "Hanalei Moon," which extols the extreme beauty and romance of the Hanalei Valley under the tropical night sky.

The cottage is located on the quiet end of town on Weke Road, right on the beach park, on 1/3 acre within walking distance of all the restaurants, shops and galleries. Waterfalls are the backdrop for our little beach house.

There is complete cozy kitchen where you can whip up fabulous food from the Hanalei Fish Market, the Farmer's Market, or just make snacks to go and enjoy some of the great local restaurants.

King size bed and lights for reading at night. It has a separate bathroom entrance. We have a little library for your use and quite a few great books on Kauai and Hawaii in general.

*Listed rate is for the standard occupancy of 2, but home can accommodate up to 3. A twin-size bed is hidden in a hassock in the central room & can accommodate another guest. Extra guest fee beyond two is $20= tax/ per night / per person. One extra guest is allowed and this fee is collected after booking.

We have a little telescope in the living room so that you can better see boats, whales, and dolphins ply the Bay by day and enjoy the moon and stars at night. If you're lucky, you may see a moon bow, something I have only seen in Hanalei. It will happen on a night when there are stars, moon and clouds together. If the clouds are sailing by on the gentle trade winds and shedding some tears, the rain will be illuminated by the moon shining from the cloudless part of the sky. Talk about breathtaking! Depending on the brightness of the moon, you may discern the colors of the rainbow.

Snorkeling, swimming, diving, paddling, hiking, golfing and a health club are all as close as your front yard, to as far as a 10-minute drive away. Walk across your front yard and look to the left; you're likely to see no one for a mile. Look to the right and you'll probably see surfers, volleyball players and beachgoers, with the Hanalei Pier at the far end of the Bay in the background.

The State of Hawaii requires a rental agreement. The rental agreement has different cancellation policies than VRBO.

Please be aware that when you book this house or any accommodations by the ocean in Hawaii, not on a bluff, you are booking in a tsunami evacuation zone. Evacuation instructions will be in the house and notice of the tsunami evacuation zone will be part of your contract. Also please know that there is a charge of $15 per night for charging of electric vehicles at this property.

cozy cottage with a lovely view
We enjoyed our stay in this cozy cottage on Hanalei Bay with a view of the bay through beautiful trees--it was hard to pull ourselves away. It had everything we needed--the outdoor shower is so convenient and there are lots of books to read if it rains. The cottage is on a lawn shared with several other rentals so we got to know our fellow visitors!

Perfect location
The location of the moon beach cottage is perfect, you’re literally steps from the sand. The cottage is small but works well for two people. The AC is nice to have on hot days. It’s also on the quieter end of the bay which is nice. We had a fantastic stay.

Great, affordable place right on Hanalei Bay
We enjoyed a two-day long wind storm from this property and it was perfect. The gas stove came in handy when the power was out, and the view of the storm from the living room could not be beat. The house is in good condition and it had everything we needed.

Peaceful Oasis Steps from the Bay
An absolutely magical place that I would highly reccomend and can't wait to return to. The house was very sweet and homey. We were able to comfortably cook many meals in the house. We spent every day just reading and relaxing at the beach, which is basically only separated from the house by a large lawn. You can see the ocean from your living room window and we woke up to the sound of crashing waves and beautiful sunrises every morning. Absolutely idylic. We will be back.

Hanalei Moon our private refuge
We had a lovely stay at the Hanalei Moon cottage. It’s located at the western end of Hanalei Beach, on a large lawn which is shared with several other houses. The house is set well back from the beach, but the view across the lawn is pretty, and we enjoyed the easy access from the street. The cottage was well appointed, the bed was comfortable, the kitchen was small but adequate for light cooking, and included an unvented gas range. We limited our cooking to breakfast items and using the microwave. There is a charcoal grill with charcoal provided. The washer and dryer worked well, though they are located outside under the overhanging eave. There is a large, outdoor shower, on a deck next to the house, and it is screened for privacy. I used that shower, daily, during our stay. There is an air conditioning unit, located in the dining / sitting area, which works well to cool the house in the evening.

Vintage Cottage with Old Hawaiian Charm
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: This was our second time at Hanalei Moon Beach Cottage which pretty much says it all! The bungalow was chosen entirely for its location directly on Hanalei Bay and it proved to be more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. The whole experience is reminiscent of a 50s Hawaiian postcard! Yes, I remember :) Cant wait to go back...

A Perfect Getaway
This cottage was a perfect getaway for my partner and I. It was beautiful, right on the beach, quiet and close enough to town to bike (which we rented for the week) in for dinner. As we are not cooks and live so rurally that we don’t eat out often, enjoying the many exotic meal options was fun for us. Couldn’t have been better.

Perfect beachfront getaway
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: We decided on Hanalei Bay for our wedding, and the Moon Beach Cottage was the most picture perfect accommodations we could've picked. The house was clean, well equipped, and cooled down quickly after those long beach walks. It was tricky keeping the sand out of the house even with the hose outside, and there was no vacuum or broom (though there is an outdoors broom). The outdoor shower is a must-use, especially during those surprise downpours.Location was spectacular, with an expansive lawn leading to the beach. The way to town is deceptively far, but not unreasonable. The only bump in our stay was we were given the wrong directions to the house, but we had the proper address and lockbox code which was the most important part - Google maps got us there with no trouble.Overall we were thrilled with our experience with this home, and we will absolutely be returning to stay for future anniversaries.

Charming Cottage on gorgeous beach
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: We absolutely loved our stay at Hanalei Moon Beach Cottage! Everything we could need was provided and the cottage was full of character and charm. If you prefer a sterile resort scene, this is not for you but it suited us perfectly- felt like a "home away from home". You can't ask for a better location, on the quiet end of the most beautiful beach- perfect for a sunrise walk to the pier (about 2 miles rt) and an afternoon float. Great neighborhood, very convenient to shops & restaurants but also quiet and tucked away on a dead-end street. Beginning to end, our communication with Beach & Bluff Realty was excellent and we enjoyed every minute of our stay here.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband planned this heavenly trip for my birthday. It was everything we were hoping for, and more. From the "welcome basket" with many goodies, to the beautiful views out our front window (better in person), to the amazing covered porch to sit during the occasional showers, and of course the best part, the mere steps to the beach. We experienced a well stocked home with everything you might need and a comfortable king bed. Everything you could hope for. We had an amazing time. Thank you!
