Henry's Final Take on Hanalei Bay Villas
Hanalei Bay Villas delivers something almost no other Kauai condo can: true separation. Each villa is its own building — no neighbors above, below, or beside you. You've got elbow room, views, and a peaceful perch above the bay.
Add in VDA eligibility, walkable access to 1 Hotel and Hideaways, and this little 36-unit community becomes something pretty special. The late 1970s construction gives these villas that authentic island feel that's hard to find in newer developments.
If you're looking for privacy, rental potential, and iconic North Shore beauty — Hanalei Bay Villas should absolutely be on your list. Let's talk comps, rental numbers, or timing.

What people say about working with Henry
My wife and I have fallen in love with Kauai life and asked for Henry's help exploring the possibility of purchasing a vacation rental property through the 1031 exchange process.
Henry was excellent to work with, crisp and timely communicator, knowledgeable and kind. In the end, we decided not to pursue a purchase at this time, but rest assured, when the time comes, we will be calling Henry.
Henry was a pleasure to work with. He takes pride in what he does and truly cares about his clients. He's honest, dependable and dedicated, I give him 10 STARS but it only goes up to 5 stars.
Thanks Henry! Your help on my website was amazing, I took your advice and my VRBO site really popped open with lots of renters. I am so happy. Thank you so much. You're very helpful.
