Magnificent pine trees along the property’s edge give Northern Star a summer camp feel, yet the sound of waves breaking nearby reminds you that you are nowhere short of paradise.

Spend the days playing beachside croquet or volleyball or just sitting on the chaise enjoying the cool breeze. Beyond the moss rock wall surrounding the lawn you’ll find your own private picnic spot under the pines. The white sandy beach and calm waters of Hanalei Bay await you just past the trees. Waters in the bay are calm, shallow and warm, ideal for spending entire days wading and swimming.

Decorated with slate floors and Hawaiian Koa wood accents, this warm Hanalei Bay home rental will make you feel instantly at home.
