My husband and I stayed at Na Hoku for the 5th time this year.

it remains my absolute favorite VRBO. Hanalei is of course delightful, but this house makes it perfect. The house has a lovely functional layout with all the amenities we need, but the lanai is what keeps us coming back. We usually come in winter and so storms are to be expected on the North Shore. I *love* having a meal on the covered lanai while it’s pouring rain, watching the surf and listening to the geckos. And if it’s sunny and warm, the lanai catches the breeze off the ocean to keep you comfortable. It really is paradise. This year, I also appreciated the several upgrades to the house (furnishings, fans, etc) that have been done since our last visit. If this place is available, book it! Just leave a week or so open for us each year…
