Everything was great. Only improvements I would suggest are lock box at the house so you don’t have to stop in Lihue to pick upAnd drop off keys. Also dusting the ceiling fans and ceiling above.

The location of the Watson home cannot be beat! You are around the corner from Hanalei town and steps from the beach. The backyard and outdoor areas are beautiful - we spent so many hours admiring the view. It’s spacious and well outfitted!

Perfect family house.

This was the first time we were able to get on Spring Break with my brother’s family, as they live way too far. This place was perfect for 7 of us. Kitchen had all the needed tools and gadgets to cook lots of dinners. Yard is amazing for tossing freebies or just playing catch. Close to any place we planned to visit. Highly recommend it.

Great location Hanalei

This property was a great location for our stay. Layout worked out well for the family as the downstairs was like a separate living space with sleeping. Had 3 adult boys down there and 2 couple up stairs. Overall great stay and would return here.

Paradise

Perfect location! Short walk to the beach and town. The house was spacious although we spent most of our time on the back covered lanai overlooking the lush gardens and mountains. The heated outdoor shower was a favorite amenity after a day at the beach. Thank you Watson family for sharing your piece of paradise!

Great family house!

The Watson House was perfect for our multigenerational family! Our son, his wife and their 10 month old baby were were so pleased to have their own space downstairs in the one bedroom studio. Baby could nap while the grownups hung out upstairs. I loved the spacious back deck for lounging, as well as for enjoying our dinners. It had a glorious view of the lush back garden and the majestic Kauai mountains. It was well stocked with beach outing gear. The beds were extremely comfortable. I would have enjoyed a larger selection of herbs and spices, as well as better quality body soaps. As an owner of a vacation rental myself...I also provide nice shampoos/conditioners. The location is perfect...an easy walk to town and to Hanalei Beach. I would definitely stay in this house again. Thanks!

Hanalei Tranquility

This was our 8th trip to Hanalei and our second time staying in the Watson Home. We love this house and would stay here again. It is clean and light and roomy-- a great space for a group (we were 8 adults)--of family and friends to relax and hang out. Great access to the beach via the walking path near by. The kitchen is well-stocked (we cook a lot) as is the gear room with: 6 beach chairs, many ice chests, two umbrellas, and two boogie boards. The back deck on the second floor overlooks a verdant green jungle scene and is a lovely place to nap or play cards or just hang out. It is a home...you can tell someone owns it and cares for it and that you are getting to share their special vacation home. The Kaua'i Vacation Rental company was fantastic to work with--very responsive and kind.
