Local style 3B/1.5BA on Hanalei Bay 6 houses from Northshore Oceanfrnt

If you want a taste of old Hanalei when days were slower and a good catch fishing and the best vegetables were the talk of the town, this home will fill the order (Standard & Maximum Occupancy is 6). This property has been lovingly maintained since it was built. It is our family's privilege to share Aunty Lydia's homestead with folks from around the world.

Aunty Lydia's Ohana is a 3-bedroom 1.5 bath with carport. Inside you will find photos of this Hanalei family over the years. This home is only 6 houses from the beach (a very short stroll) and well located to reach all the North Shore's best beaches easily. This house is right off Kuhio Highway so you can see the surfers and North Shore life coming and going. It is about 3 blocks into "downtown" Hanalei. There is a great carport with a charcoal BBQ, eating al fresco & enjoying the mountain and waterfall views.

Aunty Lydia's Ohana is a relaxed Hawaiian style home a minute's walk from the center of Hanalei Bay & is probably one of the best values in Hanalei Beach Houses. Surrounded by tropical plants, with a grassy yard surrounding the house on 3 sides.

There is a very functional kitchen enhanced with lovingly stenciled foliage for preparing some of our farmer's market produce and fresh fish from the sea. This room has a pass through to the living room.

The wash house with a washer & dryer is just outside as well as an outside toilet room and a hot & cold shower in the yard.

The house sleeps 6, it's Standard and Maximum Occupancy. There is a king bed in the largest bedroom at the back of the house. A queen in the front bedroom and two twins in third bedroom. All bedrooms have their own air conditioners.

Hanalei is famous for its ever-changing mountains; sometimes veiled in thin mist, sometimes obscured in thick clouds, sometimes full of waterfalls, sometimes so sun drenched so that every detail stands out.

Aunty Lydia's is a great place to enjoy the mountains both from the living room windows and from the carport/lanai. Since there is plenty of room to park in front of the house in the yard, many choose this area as the eating & hang out spot. There is an outside table and chairs for al fresco meals.

Not long after our family set this house up as a vacation rental, some of Aunty Lydia's family from the mainland came to Hanalei & were tickled to be able to stay in their Aunty Lydia's house.

While being on Kuhio Highway, (highway in Hanalei meaning 1 lane in each direction with a 25-mile speed limit) the home has a beautiful hedge of tropical foliage separating you from the road. A parking area & the beginning of the yard are in front of the house.

Wai'oli Beach Park is a thin strip of park which is located between the bay front homes and the sand. There are BBQs, tables, shade trees, a bathroom and usually volleyball. This is where you encounter the bay, a minute or so from Aunty Lydia's. When you come home from the beach, there is a hot & cold outside shower to enjoy a freshwater rinse or shower under the stars.

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.

Perfect Hanalei getaway
Aunty Lydia’s was the perfect combination of location and affordability. We had room for my husband and two kids and mother in law from out of state. The property is a 2 minute walk to Hanalei beach and a bit further for downtown Hanalei. The views of the mountains and waterfalls from the living room were sublime. We couldn’t ask for anything more. The outdoor showers were very handy for post beach clean up and although it took us a couple days to find, the second toilet adjacent to the carport came in handy more than once! We will definitely be coming back!!!

Great spot in Hanalei
We loved our stay at Aunt Lydia’s Ohana! It was great to be able to walk to the beach and be so close to Hanalei town and the shopping center. Even driving to Tunnels or Anini were short drives from the house. With two teens the outdoor showers were a great amenity. The view from the carport was wonderful. This was a great home to unwind in, and enjoy meals we picked up in town. Owners were responsive and helpful.

Wonderful Place to stay in Moderate Weather
Pros: 3 blocks from the Ocean/ beach 0.5 miles from downtown Hanalei Great view of Mountains from Living Room Great selection of cookware and dishes 2 Outdoor showers and one outdoor toilet Laundry- Washer and dryer Homey comfortable feel to the place Beach chairs/cooler/ and umbrella provide by the property. Cons: Full bed in NOT a queen and is very uncomfortable. It is a valley bed, the person who is the heaviest ends up in the bottom and other other person sleeps on a slant. Black mold at the head of the king-sized bed. The front door sticks and is an accident waiting to happen. Every one got stuck outside/inside a few times and could not open the door. When it would suddenly open people would barely catch themselves from falling down the stairs. Do not recommend staying when it it above 80 degrees. The heat inside becomes oppressive. The main living areas have plenty of fans but it isn't enough to counter the heat. The AC in the bedrooms barely keeps up with the heat.

Perfect for us!
We loved our Aunty Lydia’s Ohana stay! Very simple and down to earth - not for those Hanalei visitors looking for “bougy” or fancy - but absolutely perfect for us. We loved cooking at home, walking to the beach morning and evening, wandering into town, hanging out with the cats who visited daily, and feeling at home in this great homestay. Plenty of space, all the kitchen gear you could need, washer/dryer, and awesome outdoor showers. Loved the chairs and towels - again the basics are totally provided! Mahalo for a beautiful Hanalei visit. We’ll be back!

Wow
GREAT location. Hanalei Bay is awesome. Great body boarding for us in December. The little town of Hanalei is perfect. Not too touristy. Teenage kids liked having their own rooms. Loved everything about this house and location.

Aunt Lydia’s House
The house was perfect for us. Loved the location so near beach access. Loved the AC in the bedroom. Had two outside showers and a half bath located near laundry room. The only negative I would say is that it is dark inside with dark wood walls. The house was built in the 1950’s and has that old charm. We would there stay again.

Loved it!
An overwhelming feeling of hospitality from the hosts and through all communication and directions. We felt welcomed, wanted, and made to feel at home during our stay in Aunty Lydia’s Ohana. AC units in the bedrooms were really nice. Outdoor showers were convenient and especially enjoyable on the days when it was more humid inside the house. The outdoor toilet was super handy, though a bit of a tight space.) We found just about everything we needed for cooking in the kitchen, and bought some charcoal to enjoy the bbq out back. Beach chairs were super handy. Towels and rags, etc. were in abundance (which was nice). Washer and dryer were also really nice to have (there was a small jar of laundry detergent available). We felt that this home was a very fitting setting for our stay, and we appreciated all the little touches that made it feel like a home. The home was well described by the other reviewers and are thankful for the opportunity to come to this beautiful island and have a “home” away from home here. Oh! One review complained about the distance to the beach. This house is not on the beach. It is on the highway. If highway noise bothers you, this may not be a good choice. But as for the walk to the beach, it felt very short to us, and we loved the convenience of being able to walk to the beach (short 2.5 blocks), walk to town(maybe a mile?), or even be able to walk to Hanalei Pier (1.2 miles) in the mornings!

Inexpensive for Hanalei
Inexpensive for Hanalei, this house is in An amazing location and staying in Hanalei was one of the great highlights of RR Vacation. That said, it is an old house With limited insulation at all of the bedrooms have Eric conditioner is the living room does not and it can become quite uninhabitable during the late afternoon. On the plus side the backyard is absolutely gorgeous and we just hung out there when it was too hot to be in the house. If you were looking for high end accommodations this is not for you.Butif you want to feel like the local’s lived in 1960 I say this is the place for you.It is literally around the corner from Hanalei Beach.
