Description ↑↓
The Old Style is a stand alone beach house just steps from the sand as seen above. It is called the Old Style since it was once the old vicarage house of the Wai'oli Mission. Standard occupancy is 2.
There is lots of light, great views & a very restful feeling. Single wall redwood was the preferred building style back in the day. It is beautifully painted to accentuate the style of the time.
The floor plan is open to enjoy the living dining & kitchen areas while taking in the views. There is a full kitchen for cooking up island fish & fare and other tropical treats.
The bedroom is cool and comfortable with a king bed. In the living room are two pune'e or day beds that could accommodate children in addition. (Listed rate is for the standard occupancy of 2, but home can accommodate up to 4. Extra guest fee beyond two is $20/night + tax per person. This fee is collected after booking. No more than 2 extra guests are allowed.)
The lanai is a fabulous place to relax at the end of a hard day lounging around on the beach or discovering more of Kauai. You are about 4 blocks to Hanalei town with its cool shops and restaurants. Nice walk home after dinner.
There is a washhouse on the property with 2 sets of coin-op washers & dryers for your laundry needs and a hot & cold outside shower for after the beach.
Folks love this house & we have many returning guests. You can be here too. Aloha!
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 we cannot accommodate charging of electric vehicles at this property at this time.

"Living the simple life for 8 days right on Hanalei Bay was a beautiful experience. The house is a cute, comfy escape and we hated to leave. Walking the beach and watching the surfers was one of the highlights of our trip. Not many people on the beach until the weekend, which was great, and even then, it was fun. Walked into town to do a little shopping, and we ate at a Thai food truck that had some of the best food we have ever eaten. At this time of year (March) most of the activities take place on the other side of the island. At first we thought this could be an inconvenience, but then we realized this also meant most of the people were on that side too, so the drive was worth it.

Vacation Date: February 5, 2023
"It's easy to spend the day walking the beach to watch the surfing and to visit the town for the small shops and restaurants. The cottage is vintage, but adequate. The kitchen is well equipped. The hot water was sufficient for me, but could run out for a larger group (especially teenagers). The internet connection was reliable; the TV package was mostly high school sports (national networks only on weekends); the electricity went out once for four hours at night. The only problem was the occasional heavy rains, which are becoming more frequent.

"Our stay at “Old Style” in Hanalei exceeded our expectations. We are a family with two very young kids. The beach was really just across a back lawn, super close. We would often go for walks on the beach and wade across a river that flowed into the ocean before breakfast. A huge plus for us was the space on the grass that the kids had to roam. Access to groceries was super easy, probably less than a 5 minute drive to the main grocery store. I can’t identify any negatives, and I want to return. Beyond the property,

"The 2-week stay we had at “Old Style” right on Hanalei Bay was fantastic! Nothing - (ala Roger Miller - no food, no phone, no pets, no cigarettes . . . 😂) — no condos, duplexes, structures whatsoever, just a short saunter across a beautifully landscaped lawn with two palm trees between us and Hanalei Bay the prettiest beach on Kaua’i - bar none! Our little green home with the cute lanai, small barbecue, table and chairs. History reveals the one bedroom home was a church parsonage years past. The property was very clean and neat for my wife and I who returned to Kaua’i for our 4th trip together, the first, our honeymoon in November 1972. This visit we renewed our wedding vows, 50 years later, to the date; at Christ Memorial Episcopal Church in Kilauea, our home Zoom church. A beautiful little church constructed of lava right off the Kuhio Hwy on the road to the Lighthouse."

There's a charcoal grill on the lanai. You can see the ocean from the window, lanai, and lounge chairs in the backyard. I enjoyed sitting there among the tropical plants and watching the ocean from a little distance. The beach is only a few steps away across the back yard. Waves were strong in February. Town was a little further than I expected, and we preferred to drive rather than walk. It appears that folks from 4 vacation rental homes share the backyard and washer/dryer. Everyone was quiet and polite. It felt a bit like a vacation at grandma's house, peaceful and happy.

"We've stayed in Hanalei many many times over the years; this house was the furthest from town but we didn't mind. It was a bit expensive for what it was, but for a few nights it was fine for family of four, esp as the bedroom, living room and bathroom are all spacious. Being able to walk across the grass to that majestic beach is glorious; if you've never been to Hanalei, you should go--it's nirvana (so long as you aren't a big resort person: one of draws for those of us who aren't is that there are zero resorts, hotels, or chain stores other than Big Save and some surf shops. If you *are* a resort person/corporate type, go to Poipu, which is 100% manicured and resortified). Sunday seems to be the best day to arrive and leave town (for any reason), and as a result people staying anywhere east/south of the Princeville shopping center seem to choose that day to visit Hanalei. Anyway, Old Style worked just fine for us. Everyone loved the beach, local restaurants, outdoor shower, and super friendly people working in Hanalei (shout out to the sweethearts at Hanalei Bread Co, and the excellent coffee and fresh food there). If I could've stayed a month, I would have. <3

"The place is very clean and with all the amenities we needed while there. The sand toys for kids and welcome gift were extra nice. Cynthia and Suzanne were very helpful and responsive. The location is GREAT. Huge grassy area that extends right to the beach at hanalei bay. Less than .5 mile to walk to the shops. Easy drive to other beaches and princeville for groceries. The bed was comfortable with nice blankets and pillows. All would have been absolutely perfect if not for the construction while we were there. A house is being built directly across the street and next door seemed to have also been remodeling. The noise was pretty disruptive with a small, napping child. But Suzanne and Cynthia were very understanding and accommodating. All in all- a great find in hanalei bay (great light and breezes in this unit). Just check construction is done before!

Trouble in Paradise
Vacation Date: July 2, 2019
"Our stay in the very sweet cottage on magical Hanalei Bay was unfortunately timed. During our stay there was major construction on a house right next to the cottage and on the other side of the road from the cottage. Construction began between 6:15 and 7am every weekday. We were also stuck in the midst of a family gathering which occupied the main house and top and bottom of the next door house, and although it was an incredibly fun and friendly family, we had little privacy or use of the outdoor area during their stay. I would definitely recommend the cottage based on the proximity to the incredible beach, but if you are looking for privacy or quiet you might want to check with the owner regarding the construction prior to booking, since it really created problems for us throughout our stay.
