Wonderful Hanalei Bay Home
The home is lovely and spacious. The location is unbeatable. The owner and property manager were very gracious and attentive to our needs. We enjoyed so much wonderful family time here. AC is only in the bedrooms but we quickly adjusted to the fans throughout the common areas.

Dolphin House
Every single element of our stay at the Dolphin House was perfect for us. We were a group of eight, six adults and two young children. The home had ample room for all of us easily. The large, sweeping backyard lawn provided endless area for getting outdoors with the littles and romping around. Easy beach and town access, all easily walkable. The inside living area also was wonderfully large with loads of room for us all. We used a wagon for our 2 granddaughters to walk into town. We've been visiting Kauai for 35 years. Staying at the Dolphin House was one of the best experiences we've had visiting Kauai.

Amazing place to spend time with family
Hanalei Bay is one of the most beautiful places on earth and this house is ideally located on it. We had a wonderful week with my family of 8 at the house. We swam every day and loved the ease of walking down the manicured lawn to the beach. Also the landscaping in general is top notch. The landscaping lighting at night is gorgeous. We played frisbee on the huge lawn, grilled steaks, ate on the patio, etc. A wonderful place and you'd be lucky to stay here. Jennifer, the property manager, was very helpful and accommodating to our schedule that got thrown off by winter travel craziness.

Updates needed
I stayed here 10 years ago and nothing really has changed. Love the house and location but it’s time for some new towels and bedding. The outdoor patio chairs were uncomfortable. The owner was very attentive and quick to respond to a problem with the freezer door handle and very helpful leading up to and throughout our stay. Jessica put us in touch with Chef Christophe who came to the house and made a couple amazing meals for our group. Overall, was great experience, house just needs a few updates.

About the host

Hosted by mark & carlee thorrington

Host profile image
My parents purchased their dream home in 2008. I am honored to operate and manage the property for renters to enjoy. They knew it was the perfect home for their family of six, which now has expanded to twenty-two with sons and daughters-in-law and twelve grandchildren!

Why they chose this property

Hanalei Bay is our dream location. We had been vacationing in Kauai for some time and were intrigued by buying on the island. Once we stumbled upon Hanalei's beach, we knew we found the location. We have a big family that loves to surf, sunbathe, swim, snorkel, walk/run on the sand, play beach volleyball, and living on the sand was our priority. From the house, the town of Hanalei is an easy walk (3 or 4 blocks), so relaxing is simple as you simply do not need to get into a car until you return to the airport. The Dolphin house fits our expanding nuclear family of 6, and is on the sand. We found our dream!

What makes this property unique

Ocean front property is tough to come by. The large lawn leading to the sand is relaxing. We use the outdoor bbq regularly. We love the wi-fi, and high definition satellite TVs. New Ipod docks built into every bedroom in the house connected to house wide speaker system. We are in close proximity to everything a Hawaii vacation offers.
