Hale Koolau Treehouse, Charming Getaway TVR #1018

Outstanding! We loved our time in the treehouse—a perfect location, perfectly appointed.

We absolutely loved our stay at this property in Haena. The location, the view, and the overall comfort made it feel like a true retreat. It was even better than described — peaceful, well-maintained, and incredibly relaxing.One unexpected bonus: cell service was basically nonexistent on the property, which turned out to be a gift. We were happy to be fully disconnected from phone calls for a while. That said, the Wi-Fi worked perfectly, so we had everything we needed.The host was great with communication. We made the mistake of not downloading the property guide ahead of time, and since we didn’t have service when we arrived, we had to drive out to access the lockbox info — totally on us, not the host. Once we got in, everything was smooth sailing.We’d absolutely recommend this place and would return in a heartbeat. Mahalo for a beautiful experience!

Just a five minute walk from secluded Kepuhi Beach on Kauai's North Shore, the Hale Ko'olau Treehouse is by far my favorite lodging on Kauai, and quite possibly all of Hawaii. This one bedroom apartment shares a spacious fenced compound with a larger rental dwelling, but we never heard any noise from the other guests or nearby neighbors. Mountain views from our spacious living room were fantastic, and two high quality and quiet ductless A/C units kept the heat and humidity at bay during an especially steamy Labor Day week stay. The kitchen was very well equipped, and we enjoyed both the upstairs and downstairs outdoor furniture as venues for the meals we cooked. High quality beach gear with a location enabling 2 minute drives to much prized Tunnels Beach parking made Hae Koo'lau a perfect stay for a couple of snorkelers.

Great!

We enjoyed our week stay in Haena. The property is well positioned and cared for and makes an excellent home base for a remote stay in Kauai. The manager did respond timely to our need of additional coffee filters and attempted to get the front door lock to work (to no success). The neighborhood was nice - the local rooster will ensure you are awake early!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental description says it all. The only addition I would make is "it's quiet!". There are no surprises. Its easy to get in. Its easy to park. Its easy to walk to the beach. The property is well capitalized; the kitchen has all the pots and pans and plates and glasses you need. It has a rice cooker and both kinds of coffee makers. The management company responds to queries rapidly and kindly. They have beach chairs and boogie boards.

This rental is very much as described: it’s in a nearly perfect location tucked away on Kauai’s north shore (the best!) and in a great place for a couple (or small family—there’s only one bedroom) to hide away and enjoy the tropical paradise that’s Kauai. The cleaners did an impeccable job and the place has AC (which is hard to find). Book it!

The tree house was spacious and all the amenities were there. My friend from Kona and I enjoyed the stay very much. It was quiet and peaceful. Lanai with star-full of sky was beautiful. A walking distance to beaches were a plus and short walk/drive distance to coffee shops and restaurants.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A second-story 1-bedroom apartment on stilts, on a property shared with two other, larger homes (all detached). During our stay ours was the only occupied home on the property. The home is beautiful and comfortable with all the amenities you would hope for (kitchen, laundry, etc), and in close proximity to Tunnels Beach. It’s a bit off the beaten path up here on the north shore, but that’s the appeal. There is a hotel/restaurant in walking distance if you’d like a night out. Keep in mind that the drive out here is long and traverses several one-lane bridges, so be prepared for traffic. Only complaint: the roosters will wake you up EARLY. If you’re a night owl you might want someplace that’s better soundproofed.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I thoroughly enjoyed my vacation at this wonderful property. The location was perfect for me, just a short walk to a beautiful, almost deserted beach. The property was beautifully appointed with lovely decor, extremely clean with a well equipped kitchen providing everything you could possibly need. If you are looking for a more secluded vacation await from the more touristic areas, this place is perfect . The host was extremely receptive and helpful. Would definitely return if lucky enough. Highly recommend.

If you don’t mind being a bit out of town and you want incredible beauty all around this is the spot. Nothing like getting up each morning and walking the 5 to 7 minutes it takes to walk on the breath taking beaches of Haena! We stayed in the 1 bedroom back house in the property. The house is just perfect for a romantic getaway. 3 days into our stay a group showed up to rent the front house and they arrived at 1am and you can definitely hear EVERYTHING so I do recommend checking to make sure who ever will be staying in the front house is respectful and quiet after 10pm. The group was only loud (probably out of excitement for arriving in one of the most beautiful places on earth!) that first night and then very quiet after that. The house is perfect. It’s great it has a washer and dryer and everything you need. The only suggestion I would make is maybe it’s time for a new mattress. Otherwise everything was perfect. It’s such cute cozy space and definitely beats any hotel bedroom! We absolutely loved it and hope to be back.
