STEPS FROM STUNNING MOLOAA BAY

Formerly "Hale Houston" Moloaa Beach Hideaway is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath home situated just steps away from beautiful Moloaa Bay on the northeast shore of Kauai.
Walk up a flight of stairs to enter this 1200 sq.ft. spacious, air conditioned well appointed home with an open floor plan, high vaulted ceilings and a sweeping wrap around lanai with access from every room in the house. The lanai is partially covered for protection with separate lounging and dinning areas. The spacious home is comfortably furnished with wood floors throughout. Views of mountains, coconut grove gardens, ad the meandering Moloa'a stream fill every window. You will enjoy peek-a-boo ocean views from the master bedroom and outside dining area.
As well as the visual beauty, the sounds of the surf will be a constant reminder of the magic of nature. Calming your mind and lulling you off to sleep.
Just a two minute walk down the driveway to the stunning crescent white sand beach where you are likely to see breaching whales during the winter months, or spinner dolphins that often come and spend the day.
Moloaa Bay has it all: Awe inspiring sunrises, swimming, snorkeling, fishing, kayaking, body and board surfing, shelling, or just relaxing and listening to the surf. For those who love to hike there is a coastline trail that begins at the north end of the beach with more breathtaking views along the way.
Moloa'a Bay is a very special and unique area of Kauai. Because of limited street parking, this quiet neighborhood has retained the uncrowded laid back feeling of old Hawai'i.
After a day of touring the island or just enjoying your semi private beach right here, Moloa'a Beach Hideaway is your private retreat with all the comforts of home.
Call or email for more information! Aloha!

Gorgeous home

We loved this property. The area is so lush and the nearby beach is idyllic. There is very little parking near the beach so crowds were never an issue as the beach was a 2 minute walk. At the home, the owner has many different beach supplies such as boogie boards, kayaks, chairs and much more. Plus the views from the elevated home were really great. Nothing negative comes to mind. If the availability matches your schedule, I recommend you book this one quick. Its a gem.

One of the best VRBOs we have ever stayed at! The beach in not even a five minute walk and was the nicest beach by far we went to (we went to 4 different beache). A little off the beaten path as far as getting to restaurants, but that is what we wanted. Lots of options within 29 minutes. Largest crowd we saw at the beach was maybe 20 people! Extremely relaxing. Will definitely book again!

Great house in Moloa'a

This was one of the best rentals we've ever stayed at, easily top-3. The location was phenomenal, truly steps from the beach. Covenient set-up for a family, well-stocked kitchen, tons of towels and beach equipment. The outdoor shower was a nice touch to clean up sand-covered children. Highly recommended.

Moloaa was excellent

On top of the neighborhood. Enjoyed the nearby Noni plantation and the albatross nestings especially make the place close to unique. Beautiful cove and beach sparsely populated when we were there. Steps away is accurate. End of the road.

Incredible location

The most ideal location on Moloaa bay, the home is a 2 minute walk to the beach. The beach in front the house has everything we needed with small children. Shade, gentle waves, tide pools with abundant sea life! It was a lovely place for my husband and three kids( age 8,4, and 3yrs). Deborah was an excellent host and quick to respond. The hardest part was leaving. We hope to be lucky enough to visit again :)

A tropical and private paradise

This was our second time at this wonderful home and hopefully not the last! The house itself is gorgeous and the setting is unmatched. We love the jungle feel surrounding the house and the very short walk to beautiful Moloa’a Bay. We greeted each day by taking our coffee on the beach to watch the sun rise. While the house does have A/C, the weather was so mild we chose to keep it open and fully enjoy the sounds and breezes of paradise flowing through. Highly recommend. The property manager was fantastic too, checking in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. This home is a beautiful retreat you will want to soak up!

Hawaiian escape

A perfect place to relax and unwind. This house was perfect for the four of us, well stocked kitchen and comfortable lounging and dining areas. The stovetop is an induction cooktop which took a bit of getting used to. My only minor minor complaint is the very weak bbq. (Don’t try to grill any steaks!) The house is surrounded by a beautiful garden filled with tropical fruit trees. The nearby beach is just minutes from the front door. We didn’t try to swim there, but we went out every morning to see the gorgeous sunrise.

Feels like a Dream

No words to describe the setting, to be honest. Such a refreshing and truly Hawaiian living experience in contrast to the resort areas. Our family was so blessed to have found this place. Not only that, but this place had so many amenities and plenty of everything you could need? Might have forgotten, or didn’t know you needed lol. Perfect location also for exploring both Hanalei and Kapa’a areas

Beautiful home

This home was in a beautiful and quiet setting with the beach very close! It was very well maintained and clean. We had all the beach gear we could possibly need and then some that is provided at the home. Having the ability to walk to the beach and come back to an outdoor shower with hot water was a huge bonus. You won’t regret staying here as you lay in the hammock at night listening to the waves and looking at a moonlit island. We will be staying here again!

We have stayed in multiple VRBOs over the years and this is by far the most well stocked and attention to detail house we have ever stayed in! Deborah was fantastic in communication and you literally just need to arrive and got i the grocery store for main items. Everything else was there from batteries to laundry detergent to beach towels and beach equipment. The location was amazing and the house was perfect for our family of teens and grandparents celebrating their 50th anniversary. Cannot recommend this enough. We are trying to find another open date to book again!! Mahalo!!!

Stay in paradise

The process leading to our stay was effortless and the property manager, Deborah, was especially thoughtful with her direction and ensuring that we had sufficient guidance to find the property, which is a little off the beaten path; that’s a good thing. We felt like we were in a giant treehouse since the home is situated on stilts. With the wraparound porch we felt like we were floating amongst the trees. The location and proximity to the bay really makes this place magical. The home was well appointed and had everything we could need for our party. A plus is how comfy the beds are. I realize this is subjective but my wife is picky when it comes to beds and bedding and she didn’t complain… which is saying a lot. I can’t say enough good things about this slice of paradise and how fortunate we were to spend a few days at this special location.
