Hale Kahanalu truly is “steps from the beach” and a delightfully modest, clean and comfortable place for four good friends place to stay.
Upon arriving, we appreciated the clearly marked parking and found our way upstairs to Unit 6.
The open kitchen/dining bar is large (easy for two couples) to navigate, team cook, enjoy chatting and eating. The gift coffee and cookies were a nice welcome touch.
While the kitchen is well equipped, it would have been nice to find small basic amenities like salt and pepper. We’d already been to the grocery, so ended up asking a local restaurant for a few to go packets of spices to make do. No great tragedy, but worth being aware of if you intend on eating in more than out. Which, by the way, is infinitely more affordable!
Bedrooms and beds are quite comfy. Ceiling fans and a/c all help move the island air.
The bathroom is located in the hallway outside the bedrooms. I’d been told by the management it was a Jack and Jill. Thankfully, it is not. (A better photo on the website showing the hall and the three separate doorways might help future quests understand the lay out.) Plenty of cozy big towels were supplied - and how about that huge shower!!??! Very nice.
We didn’t watch tv all, but did appreciate the beach towels, beach chairs and umbrella and the cooler for picnics.
I had to call management twice - once for clarity on where to park a second car (along the street) and once about the dishwasher. They were responsive and very kind.
