Beach House with bay view 1B/1BA Local-style Romantic bungalow on Hanalei Bay

Our Beachfront home here in the middle of Hanalei Bay can be yours!

Hanalei Moon Beach Cottage is named after the famous Hawaiian song "Hanalei Moon," which extols the extreme beauty and romance of the Hanalei Valley under the tropical night sky.

The cottage is located on the quiet end of town on Weke Road, right on the beach, on 1/3 acre within walking distance of all the restaurants, shops and galleries. Waterfalls are the backdrop for our little beach house. Standard occupancy is 2.

There is complete cozy kitchen where you can whip up fabulous food from the Hanalei Fish Market, the Farmer's Market, or just make snacks to go and enjoy some of the great local restaurants.

King size bed and lights for reading at night. It has a separate bathroom entrance. We have a little library for your use and quite a few great books on Kauai and Hawaii in general.

A twin-size bed is hidden is a hassock in the central room & can accommodate another guest. (Listed rate is for the standard occupancy of 2, but home can accommodate up to 3. Extra guest fee beyond two is $20/night + tax per person. This fee is collected after booking. Only 1 extra guest is allowed.)

We have a little telescope in the living room so that you can better see boats, whales, and dolphins ply the Bay by day and enjoy the moon and stars at night. If you're lucky, you may see a moon bow, something I have only seen in Hanalei. It will happen on a night when there are stars, moon and clouds together. If the clouds are sailing by on the gentle trade winds and shedding some tears, the rain will be illuminated by the moon shining from the cloudless part of the sky. Talk about breathtaking! Depending on the brightness of the moon, you may discern the colors of the rainbow.

Snorkeling, swimming, diving, paddling, hiking, golfing and a health club are all as close as your front yard, to as far as a 10-minute drive away. Walk across your front yard and look to the left; you're likely to see no one for a mile. Look to the right and you'll probably see surfers, volleyball players and beachgoers, with the Hanalei Pier at the far end of the Bay in the background.

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 there is a charge of $15 per night for charging of electric vehicles at this property.

A Perfect Getaway
This cottage was a perfect getaway for my partner and I. It was beautiful, right on the beach, quiet and close enough to town to bike (which we rented for the week) in for dinner. As we are not cooks and live so rurally that we don’t eat out often, enjoying the many exotic meal options was fun for us. Couldn’t have been better.

cozy cottage with a lovely view
We enjoyed our stay in this cozy cottage on Hanalei Bay with a view of the bay through beautiful trees--it was hard to pull ourselves away. It had everything we needed--the outdoor shower is so convenient and there are lots of books to read if it rains. The cottage is on a lawn shared with several other rentals so we got to know our fellow visitors!

Peaceful Oasis Steps from the Bay
An absolutely magical place that I would highly reccomend and can't wait to return to. The house was very sweet and homey. We were able to comfortably cook many meals in the house. We spent every day just reading and relaxing at the beach, which is basically only separated from the house by a large lawn. You can see the ocean from your living room window and we woke up to the sound of crashing waves and beautiful sunrises every morning. Absolutely idylic. We will be back.

Perfect location
The location of the moon beach cottage is perfect, you’re literally steps from the sand. The cottage is small but works well for two people. The AC is nice to have on hot days. It’s also on the quieter end of the bay which is nice. We had a fantastic stay.

Hanalei Moon our private refuge
We had a lovely stay at the Hanalei Moon cottage. It’s located at the western end of Hanalei Beach, on a large lawn which is shared with several other houses. The house is set well back from the beach, but the view across the lawn is pretty, and we enjoyed the easy access from the street. The cottage was well appointed, the bed was comfortable, the kitchen was small but adequate for light cooking, and included an unvented gas range. We limited our cooking to breakfast items and using the microwave. There is a charcoal grill with charcoal provided. The washer and dryer worked well, though they are located outside under the overhanging eave. There is a large, outdoor shower, on a deck next to the house, and it is screened for privacy. I used that shower, daily, during our stay. There is an air conditioning unit, located in the dining / sitting area, which works well to cool the house in the evening.

Our stay at Hanalei Moon Beach Cottage
Wonderful comfortable cottage for 2 people. Not fancy but it had what we needed. Great ventilation, no need to use the air conditioner. The location is perfect, close to Hanalei, just steps from the beach, ocean view, nice little lanai, and nice outdoor shower (never used the indoor shower). The hosts were very friendly, we loved the cottage and would gladly stay there again.

This is a very cute cottage right on the beach. It is not fancy, but it has the basics and it was a safe and convenient place for me and my two daughters to explore the town of Hanalei. We could walk to the shops for the cottage. There was a lovely outdoor shower, laundry, beach chairs and a fully functional kitchen. We had a wonderful stay!

Perfect Bungalow on Hanalei Bay
From the moment we walked in to the moment we left we were totally thrilled with Moon Cottage. Everything we could possibly need was there and the cottage was clean and well organized. We loved the location and the town. We felt totally relaxed and totally comfortable. The only reason I wouldn’t recommend this rental is because we want it available for our next stay🥰. Too many good honest reviews will make it too desirable and it will book up too quickly for the future. I can’t say enough positive things. It was idyllic and a perfect find for us

Hanalei has always been our favorite town to return to on Kauai, and what better place is there to stay than right on the beach! This cottage had everything we needed. Not only was it perfect for dipping into the ocean on a moments notice, but it was super convenient for a quick trip to the grocery store or walking to the bar (so no worrying about drinking and driving). My husband loves to cook and this kitchen had the main essentials for him to whip up something delicious just about everyday. We really couldn't have been happier with all the house had to offer. There were plenty of towels for a 9 day trip, an outdoor shower with hot water, AC (that we only used once), and a laundry unit that we thought about using (but never did, lol). Also, the patio table was perfect for breakfast and lunch-- even on a rainy day. And for days that you just want to lounge in front of the TV, you can cast all your favorite streaming apps from your phone. If you want the perfect place to call home on Kauai, stay here! Just bring lots of bug repellent, remember to close the windows and doors at night, and turn off the lights when no longer needed. :) A big thank you to our hosts for making our elopement trip all the more romantic and dreamy. We loved every bit of it, and are happy to say our first meal as husband and wife was shared right on the patio of the Hanalei Beach Moon Cottage. ♡
