The Hanalei Surfboard House is a hidden gem and an incredible, wonderful place to stay on Kauai's famed North Shore. It offers a beautiful, private, and perfect vacation suite just steps away from picturesque Hanalei Bay and the beach, with a short, easy walk to the shops and restaurants of Hanalei town. The host is wonderful, amazing, and great, creating a very special spot with incredible attention to detail and ensuring guests have everything needed for a comfortable, luxurious, and unforgettable stay. The accommodation itself is an incomparable island hideaway. The suite is incredibly charming, well-appointed, thoughtfully designed, and spotless, featuring collectable eclectic vintage decor and cozy furnishings. It feels homey and comfortable, providing a perfect, relaxing, and exceptional experience. The property is lush with beautiful plants and water features and includes a great outdoor shower. The location could not be more perfect or more conveniently located, mere steps from an amazing beach and a quarter mile from town. It is a one-of-a-kind, private slice of paradise and a truly unforgettable stay in the heart of Hanalei.
I loved my stay here. Great location, one block from the beach, spacious, well equipped. Would absolutely stay again. I preffered staying here over the resorts in Princeville.

The Hanalei Surfboard house is a gem! The location is perfection. The garden is a dream. The rooms and patios are exactly what you need with a little kitsch. Simon and his house manager Jackie were hospitable and lovely. Boca the house cat is a delight. It instantly felt like home. I'm already looking at dates to come back... read full comment

I wish we could give this one star to gate keep it from everyone but it's truly a hidden gem! We loved our stay here! Simon has made the place homey and comfortable. It had everything we needed for a long stay. On top of that, it is steps away from gorgeous Hanalei Bay and a short walk to the town. Cannot recommend it enough!
