Rental Details

Rental Overview

Haena Beach House is a luxury oceanfront vacation rental on Kauai's North Shore, offering sweeping ocean views from every room. Ideal for large groups, this spacious home features a stylish living area, gourmet kitchen, and multiple bedroom suites with en-suite baths and lounge spaces. With lanais for oceanfront dining and relaxing, an exercise bike, and modern amenities throughout, guests enjoy comfort and serenity in a breathtaking setting. Located near Tunnels Beach, the Kalalau Trail, and Hanalei Bay, Haena Beach House is a perfect base for an unforgettable Hawaiian escape.

Kauai’s North Shore turns wild and green just past Hanalei, where the road narrows and the mountains lean in close to the sea. Haena Beach House TVNC#1258 sits right where that coastline meets the sand, a five-bedroom home where floor-to-ceiling glass frames the Pacific from nearly every room.

What You'll Love About Haena Beach House TVNC#1258
• Sleeps 10 across five ensuite bedrooms and a bonus loft
• Panoramic Pacific views fill nearly every window, upstairs and down
• Two upper-level suites
• A gourmet kitchen built for feeding ten, from sunrise espresso to evening dinners
• Two of the king suites open straight onto the wraparound deck through private entrances
• Winters bring bigger surf to this stretch of coast, so the water in front of the home is best enjoyed from the shore or one of the two oceanfront lanais during this time of year.

Ocean Conditions & Safety
The North Shore's beauty comes with real respect for the water. Kauai's winter swells, typically November through March, bring a stretch of ocean directly in front of the home that turns loud, powerful, and unforgiving, not safe for swimming at that time. Guests wanting to swim during these months should check daily conditions and head to one of the island's protected beaches instead. Calmer months bring gentler water, though conditions can still shift day to day.

Living & Dining
Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows wrap the main living area so the coastline stays in view from the kitchen island to the couch. The lounge opens straight onto the upper lanai, where trade winds move through by mid-morning. Ten can gather at the dining table, the Pacific on one side of the room and Kauai's green ridgeline on the other, a rare pairing this close to the water. The layout suits groups who want room to spread out, with five ensuite bedrooms across two levels.

Chef-Ready Kitchen
The kitchen carries the same energy: designed for effortless cooking and connection, the gourmet kitchen features modern cabinetry, high-end appliances, generous counter space, and all the tools needed for group meals. An espresso machine, rice cooker, blender, and full suite of cookware support everything from your morning coffee to evening feasts.

Lanais & Outdoor Living
Two oceanfront lanais carry the house outside, one set up for dining, the other for lounging through Kauai's long, color-heavy sunsets. A private yard adds room to spread out, and an exercise bike sits ready for anyone who wants a workout with an ocean view. Beach gear is on hand for the days when the water invites you in.

Nearby
Tunnels Beach and Haena Beach are both within walking distance from the door, prime spots for snorkeling and sand time when conditions allow. The Kalalau Trailhead marks the start of the Na Pali coast on foot, and Lumahai Beach, Hanalei Bay, and Hanalei's restaurants and shops are all a short drive away. Paddlers can put in on the Hanalei River for kayaking or stand up paddling. Lihue Airport (LIH) is a scenic drive from here.

Good to Know
• This home does not have air conditioning; ceiling fans throughout and the North Shore's trade winds keep interior spaces comfortable
• Two of the king bedrooms have private entrances via the wraparound deck
• Pack n play available upon request
• Home is located in a tsunami evacuation zone; evacuation instructions provided
• Exterior surveillance cameras are in place for guest safety
• TAT ID: TA-194-777-9072-01
• TMK / Parcel ID: 580120140000

By the time the light fades over the water, the day already feels complete, starting with coffee on the lanai, an afternoon somewhere down the coast, and ending with dinner for ten as the sky runs from gold to violet over Haena. This is the kind of home that makes people want to stay for one more sunset.

Gorgeous home, amazing views! RIGHT on the beach. I didn’t fully understand that 2 of the bedroom/suites were “separate” from the main house, for multiple couples/families that’s a definite plus, for one family with kids it’s a little less desirable. A bit of traffic noise in those 2 suites. Just good to know going in. House was immaculately clean, stocked with everything you could possibly want! Loved the beach towels, beach chairs, etc… The location was perfect for us, away from the mainstream, but close enough to drive, lush surroundings, perfectly secluded. Fans were a definite plus since the ocean front rooms don’t have a cross breeze. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

This house was a great location to bring our family of 9 together. The ocean views were wonderful, and we prepared and shared some great meals in the spacious, well-equipped kitchen and dining room. The property manager was very helpful when a tsunami warning was issued. The only negative was poor air circulation in 2 of the first floor bedrooms. The house is not air conditioned.

Loved the location on the north shore and proximity to Ha’ena state park, Hanalei town, etc. The views from the property were great. Kauai is easy to get around and we traveled south to Poipu area for day trips no problem. We loved walking on the beach even though it is too rough for swimming. House was well equipped and had plenty of space for our group of 10. No a/c as is the norm for most of the homes on the island, but the constant breeze felt nice. We enjoyed the covered front porch when we wanted to be out of the sun. Loved frequenting the Haven (local coffee stand) less than a mile away. Also loved hiking Hanakapia falls and Captain Andy’s Napali coast raft tour.

Just stay here. It’s literally on the water from the balcony. End of a beach so you get very few passer byers. Beautiful chef friendly kitchen. The yard by the road is a nice touch and having two little studios attached by the yard helped give families some space which they enjoyed.

This location was exactly what we were looking for; far from anything ‘city’ feeling, laid back, and surrounded by nature. The beachfront location is unmatched, and the accommodations were perfect. Just a watch out: there is no a/c. This was mostly not an issue but there were some hot moments when we wished we could close up and turn on the a/c.

This house was perfect for our group of 9! We had ages 8 to 79 and loved every minute here! The views were gorgeous and the space was fabulous!! The house was so well designed!

Amazing location sandy beach, blue water and Mountain View’s. Beach is somewhat private in that very few people came. The waves are big but we did get in the water just didn’t go far from shore. House is clean and organized. Two of the bed rooms are connected to the main house by an open air covered porch. There is an empty lot next door where a man seemed to be camping. Walking distance to ocean front restaurant and a coffee shop. Ten minute walk along the beach is another beautiful spot with calm water and beautiful fish. Safe for kids.

The property is fantastic, great views and the beachfront is basically private for how few people walked by. It is late in the season and the water was too rough for the kids to safely swim in there, but they loved playing in the sand and running from the waves. Short drive to hanalei town area, multiple beaches within short walking or driving distance. The house had all amenities you need for a beach house vacation, including beach chairs/umbrellas, boogie boards, and sand toys. Thank you

We had such a wonderful time staying at this property. It truly is one of a kind. Sophia, the property manager was very helpful and quick to respond. She was fantastic to work with. We plan to stay here again. Being right on the ocean and listening to the waves every night was incredible. The location is conveniently close to Hanalei, but far enough away that you feel secluded. We highly recommend this home.

Trip was magical. House was right on the water, there were rip tides, so no swimming there. Would have been really nice to have more chairs on the porch facing ocean, so you could have morning coffee or evening cocktails. The porch off the kitchen only had a bench. We rented house to enjoy the beach.

4 couples including parents with 3 adult children. - Each couple had their own bathroom and bedroom. Great privacy. - At the same time, the living room, dining room, and outdoor areas are spacious and excellent for congregations. - Well-appointed kitchen for grand meals. Grill is good but we ran out of propane which was a miss by the people who maintain it since there was no backup tank. ~ Surf at this house is strong and exciting. Further down the beach it’s less energetic and that’s where we did snorkeling - my son saw two Manta Rays right off the beach here. - The nearby Tunnel Beach has even better snorkeling where we saw many turtles up close. - Na Pali coast is accessible on foot but you must reserve in advance at the state park. This is a spectacular park to walk. Earlier in the day is better.

This property really is on a gorgeous beach that is positioned to give great privacy. The views are fantastic, the waves relaxing, the breeze was steady. The rooms were simple but just like the pictures. All family members liked their bed. The kitchen well supplied with the basics and a few extras (espresso machine didn't seem like a basic). The support was great. Check-in was easy and when small questions came up, the manager, Sophia, was right on top of everything. (And we are not routine VRBO users.) We felt well taken care of. Can definitely recommend.
