Aunty Lydia's Ohana is a relaxed Hawaiian style home a minute's walk from the center of Hanalei Bay & is probably one of the best values in Hanalei Beach Houses.
Surrounded by tropical plants, a grassy yard surrounds the house on 3 sides.
Pictures of Aunty Lydia & her family pass on the aloha to our guests.
There is a very functional kitchen enhanced with lovingly stenciled foliage for preparing some of our farmer's market produce and fresh fish from the sea.
The wash house with a washer & dryer is just outside. You see a peak of it in the window above the sink.
There is a king bed in the largest bedroom at the back of the house.
Hanalei is famous for its ever changing mountains; some times veiled in thin mist, sometimes obscured in thick clouds, sometimes full of water falls, sometimes so sun drenched so that every detail stands out.
Aunty Lydia's is a great place to enjoy the mountains both from the living room windows and from the carport/lanai. Since there is plenty of room to park in front of the house in the yard, many chose this area as the eating & hang out spot.
Not long after our family set this house up as a vacation rental, some of Aunty Lydia's family from the mainland came to Hanalei & were tickled to be able to stay in their Aunty Lydia's house. Here they are enjoying the carport for BBQing & beach reconnoitring.
While being on Kuhio Highway, (highway in Hanalei meaning 1 lane in each direction with a 25 mile speed limit) the home has a beautiful hedge of tropical foliage separating you from the road. A parking area & the beginning of the yard are in front of the house.
This is Wai'oli Mountain, meaning singing water, as seen from Aunty Lydia's yard.
This is the queen bedroom. It does have air conditioning for those who prefer it.
This photo was taken in the back yard. There is a hot & cold outside shower for your use. You see a bit of the cottage on the right which is a studio & is available for added space at an additional cost.
This is your unassuming entrance to your Hawaiian Beach House. Notice there is a gate which you can shut to keep in youngsters.
Walk out your front gate to the right, pass one house, then the corner house and you are looking at this beach access. The corner house is 4 houses from the beach.
See the Google photos I labeled for a great visual of how close you are to the beach.
Wai'oli Beach park is a thin strip of park which is located between the bay front homes and the sand. There are BBQs, tables, shade trees, a bathroom and usually volley ball. This is where you encounter the bay, a minute or so from Aunty Lydia's.
So with this waiting for you, why wait? Call or e-mail to book Aunty Lydia's Ohana,
You will have found one of Hanalei's best kept secrets.
