Great place (after construction)

Property and location were great and just as advertised. Only reason for not a 5 star review was the heavy construction next door that was not communicated.

The perfect stay in Hanalei Bay

Our stay at the Malolo cottage was perfect for our family, even with 2 kids under 3. Close enough to walk to the beach, comfortable living space in the house, and quiet neighborhood. The house has everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again next time we visit Hanalei Bay!

Awesome trip for our small family

This was our 4th trip to the north shore and we wanted to have a solo family trip (no friends or family) this time. The Malolo Cottage was the perfect choice. The short walk to the beach and large yard made our trip very relaxing and memorable. The property managers were very communicative and reminded us to put out the trash each week. They also helped us quickly when the internet went offline during a wind storm. The house was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. I would highly recommend this property for a couple or a small family like ours.

Cottage pretty much as expected but inside shower is really small stall. Great for a couple; would not want to stay there with more adults. The covered patio is really nice, views of mountains to west. Nice to be able to park right outside the door. Very quiet neighborhood. Beach access is too far to walk carrying chairs and stuff. Management company was responsive and helpful.

Great cottage for small family

This cottage was charming and beautifully located. We felt like we were staying in a cabin, but instead of a cabin by a lake (we are from Minnesota) it was a cabin by the ocean! This was our favorite place to stay by far. Cottage had all the necessities and then some:). We will be back.

The Malolo cottage is a wonderful place to stay when you visit Hanalei. It’s a clean, convenient base of operations for our week in Hanalei. You can walk to town or the beach and the cottage has everything you need for a relaxed stay in paradise.

Close to town

Close to town so easy to walk to shops and food. It is a studio with two I believe full size bed side-by-side so we’re perfect for me and my 20 year old daughter to stay out together. There is a full kitchen. Close to the ocean as well although a bit of a walk if you are caring Surf Boards

Great stay in perfect location

What you see is what you get, in a good way. Simple, but comfortable house in a great location close to the beach and town. We (a couple) had a great 5 day stay. While not ultra-luxurious, the house was spotless. We only made breakfast and drinks, but found everything we needed in the kitchen. Couch and bed were comfortable. We were there in warm Sept. and never needed AC. Overall, would recommend!!

Mololo cottage

I would rent this property again. Right in the middle of Hanaleii bay. Walking distance to Hanaleii Bay town, and the beaches of Hanaleii. Outside showers (hot and cold water). It gets a little warm inside the house during the hottest times of the day. The inside design of the stay is a studio type. Bathroom is private.

Perfect location in a perfect town

My partner and I just got back from a 10 day stay at this perfect little spot in Hanalei. We spent the mornings outside with our books and coffee enjoying the dewy ground, birds, geckos and incredible view of the mountains. Swam in the ocean multiple times a day. Walked to dinner. It couldn't have been better. It's so close to everything. It's hard to pass up. I would definitely recommend this spot.

Super comfortable beach cottage

This cottage gave my teenage son and I a great home base to surf hanalei for a week. Easy walk to beach and to town. Kitchen was well equipped and clean; we also took advantage of the mini Weber charcoal grill to make steaks. The Outdoor shower had piping hot water, perfect way to clean off after being in the ocean. I loved having the roosters help me wake up in the morning; my son slept right through them. Living room was very comfortable, and we mostly sat outside to eat our meals. Would highly recommend for a small group not looking for a 5 star resort experience.
