We had a wonderful stay in Hanalei. Pua Melia is within walking distance of the beach, restaurants, yoga, and more. There were a cooler and chairs for the beach. It was perfect for our family of 3 adult couples. I would recommend this property to my friends and family.

I supposed the location could be beat, but not by much. 1/2 block to beach access, on the frontage road for the beach with only 1 row of houses between the house and the beach. Great view from deck that does get a bit warm in afternoon. 5-10 minute walk to the main Hanalei intersection. All living space on second floor. 3 spacious bedrooms. Beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and cart. There is a companion house directly behind it on the same lot - we rented that for the rest of the family. A/C in the bedrooms, though the breeze was usually enough to cool it off.

Pua Melia is the perfect home for a family getaway in Hanalei. The lanai alone is the best place to watch the sunset, have dinner, people watch, or just watch and listen to the rain. The location is a short walk to the beach or into town. AC in bedrooms is a definite plus in this home. Perfection in paradise.

The Pua Melia house is the ideal location for a 5-star Hanalei Bay experience. It was a very short walk to the beach and a brief walk into town from this near-beachfront home. The garage was well stocked with chairs and boogie boards and beach towels. Watching the waves crash while dining on the deck was a highlight.

It is our second trip to this home. We love the house and working with Kauai Vacation Rentals.

Great Location, but very old and outdated.
Not clean, extremely dusty, mildew in bathrooms.

We love staying in Hanalei and enjoyed our time at Pua Melia, a two story home across from the Bay. Close (a block or two) to beach access, and a short walk from the Hanalei pier and town, this location was wonderful for our family. We love a beachfront rental, but this was very close and ended up working out great. One thing we noticed was there is a fair amount of traffic noise early in the morning which with a toddler sleeping was of concern. But the bedrooms have AC, so we closed bedroom windows which helped.

We love Pua Melia in Hanalei! This house is perfect for our family of four. We enjoyed the deck and the views. The location could not be any better. We bike or walk right over to the beach or the pier. We can walk to town to eat or shop. The house is well stocked with everything you might need. Each room has its own air conditioning units as well.

We loved our stay at Pua Melia. A few minutes walk to the beach, a few more to the sweet town of Hanalei, what's not to love?! Pua Melia is beautifully-decorated and well-appointed, not just your run-of-the-mill a rental unit. The owners have lovingly looked after the home and it was a joy to stay there. Kaua'i Vacation Rentals are always responsive and helpful and we would highly recommend them.

This was about the 10th home we have rented over the many years of visiting Hanalei. It is an outstanding rental. The home was clean in excellent shape. It is one of the best. Sounds of the ocean at night, walk to the beach at daylight. Little noisy with traffic- but that's minor compared to the at home feeling we had. The a/c works great in bedrooms and that was a haven for those extra hot days. WE used the screen on the patio to help deflect hot afternoon sun. The home has the ambience of a Hawaiian home! We would love to return to this spot!!! The town is a couple blocks away. It has beautiful landscape! Plus the view of the ocean, and the waterfalls on the backdrop of the mountains. We saw up to 6 waterfalls on one afternoon! Wow absolutely gorgeous! The beds were terrific! There wasn't anything we didn't like about the home or location! Thanks to the owners what a lovely home you shared with our little family!. Thank you to Kauai Vacation Rentals. They went above and beyond and even checked in on us a couple days in making sure everything was great!

My wife, two-year-old daughter, and I had a splendid extended stay (40 days) at Pua Melia. The house is laid out very well, with all the necessary amenities. There is traffic on Weke Road but the house is well built and you can basically eliminate noise by closing the doors and windows if necessary. AC in all three bedrooms is a big plus are are the many fans (indoor and on the lanai).

Lucy and Co. at Kauai Vacation Rentals are very professional and fabulous to work with. They run a top-notch operation and I recommend them without hesitation for a stay on Kauai.
