Rental Details

Property Overview

Live the ultimate Kauai experience in this luxe and spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath airy tropical house.

Designed from the ground up as the ultimate tropical vacation home, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home in the idyllic community of Haena, pampers you with the soothing sounds of the surf, five-star amenities and some of the most awe-inspiring views along the North Shore of Kauai.

Spread across a generous 2,600 square feet, this home’s ideal location puts visitors within easy reach of beaches revered internationally by surfers, swimmers and sailors. Not only is it a leisurely two-minute walk to the nearest waves, but it’s also just down the road from the world-famous Tunnels Beach, Kauai’s snorkeling nirvana. Venture further to experience the dramatic beauty of the Na Pali Coast, or just look out your windows at waterfalls trickling down Mount Makana.

You’ll have more than 800 square feet of covered, luxuriously furnished lanai (what some call a porch) surrounding the house, tempting you outdoors at all hours. Settle in to a deeply padded wicker chair to sip Kona coffee at sunrise, sip a lilikoi fruit smoothie in the afternoon or grill the catch of the day as the skies turn golden during the latest sunset in the United States.

Inside, the home’s open floor plan brings mountain and garden views into the combined kitchen, living and dining area, where you’ll routinely gather to recount the day’s adventures. On the breakfast bar, find a gift basket of local artisan chocolate, Hawaiian spices and discount coupons that will ease your introduction to favorite Kauai treats and adventures—ice cream, bike rentals and a catered dinner. If you need more ideas, leaf through our book of suggestions for hiking, dining and sightseeing, or borrow our beach gear for a day of sunny recreation.

Throughout the house, strategically located windows open to the cooling ocean breezes and bring a light, airy atmosphere to every room. Spacious bedrooms on opposite wings provide ample privacy for groups of couples, friends or families of up to six people. The 12-foot cathedral ceilings and multiple seating areas add to the sense of space.

You’ll immerse in a distinct island experience here. Original island artwork—paintings, carvings, sculpture—captures the tropical beauty. Furnishings are high quality, but casual enough for shorts and flip-flops. You can even bathe under balmy tropical breezes in the enclosed, hot-water outdoor shower.

Each bedroom is arranged for comfort and convenience. The master suite has a king bed, walk-in closet, dressing area, adjoining bathroom and access to a lanai. From the front guest room’s queen bed and lanai, you can gaze at the every-shade-of-green terrain. The second guest bedroom also has access to a lanai and offers cozy quiet and two twin beds that can convert to a king.

In no time, you’ll be living like a local, stocking up on impossibly fresh sushi and shopping the farmers markets for exotic fruits and vegetables that you whip into smoothies and cocktails. With a kitchen outfitted for the most discerning chefs, you’ll be turning out quick meals on the barbecue gas grill with ease. You won’t lack for indoor entertainment with a 42-inch flat-screen television with surround sound, a DVD player and high-speed Wi-Fi.

In anticipation of our guests’ every need, the electronic front door locks require no keys to pick up, share or return. The kitchen is fully stocked. The laundry room features an over-sized washer, dryer and large pantry.

It accommodated the 4 of us quite well.U may not be able to do anything about this however the pocket door to the bathroom was quite noisy. Personally, one of the bedrooms could use a mirror above the dresser.

This pristine home was absolutely perfect for our family trip with our two adult sons. It was our second time staying in Haena, and our first time at this home. The abundant windows, and gorgeous views allowed us to enjoy the beautiful North Shore of Kauai at all times…while cooking dinner, relaxing on the Lanais, and even laying in bed! High quality linens, comfortable beds and furniture, a well stocked kitchen, and the friendly and prompt management team were all greatly appreciated. The owners provide an informative guidebook, with great dining recommendations. We hope to come back to this home again and again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Vacation home offered the perfect location on the North shore with stunning mountain views! House was clean and the interior was as shown in the listing. We enjoyed having two lanais to chose from based on the breeze/sun location and spent a good portion of our time (when at the rental) on the lanai. As is typical for the area, the home does not have A/C, but the owner provided plenty of fans to help cool the house. With the exception of a couple nights during our stay, we found the house sufficiently cool in the evening. Areas of Improvement:1) The listing needs to be updated to show that a new house is being built (very close) to the lanai on the mountain side of the home. Construction during our stay was mildly disruptive, but once complete, the home will lose some of it's privacy on the lanai with the best views.2) Rental provided body soap, but no shampoo/conditioner. Coffee filters are provided, but no coffee. In my opinion, home rentals should provide the same basic amenities as hotels. If they are not provided, the listing should clearly state what is provided, so guests are not caught off guard upon arrival. 3) Beach Access - the beach that is a short walk is very rocky and not swimmable. The listing is a little misleading in that regard. That being said, if you walk 0.25 mile further in either direction, you can find swimmable beaches (probably still not safe for small children) and Tunnels beach is 0.7 miles walk/drive. 4) Cookware. Skillets and pots are in need of replacement. Otherwise, the kitchen is well stocked. We cooked most of our meals at the house.5) Please note, this property is past the Hanalei bridge, which can close due to flooding (and did during out stay) leaving you stuck in the Hanalei/Haena area. Almost all restaurants were closed as employees could not reach the businesses. Overall, this is a wonderful choice if staying on the North shore and with a few minor improvements/clarific

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was perfectly set up for our family of 5, very clean and kitchen had everything we needed. A drip coffee maker with provided filters & necessary household supplies provided was so nice- I have been to many VRBO’s that didn’t provide any and this was a nice touch (dish washer & laundry soap, new bar soap for each shower along with plenty of hand soap). The house was very hot during the day, but cools off for comfortable sleep once the sunsets. The beach chairs & small float could be replaced, they are very worn down & straps all broken. We all agreed the location of the house on the island was perfect, being so far on the north west part of the island, you are surrounded by beauty. The path to the beach is steps from the door and leads to a rocky section of sandy beach, but If you walk 100 yards to the left you are on a wonderful relaxing part of kepuhi beach. We spent a lot of time at this location! The sunset views are perfect with the Mountain View. The only downside we found was that it is a bit far from dining options. We did eat dinner the last night just down the road at Opakapaka bar and grill and wish we ate there more often. On the water , local feel and good food! The roosters are everywhere on the island! You get used to them after a few nights 😂.

All was wonderful until our last night when electricity went out. According to neighbors, this is a common occurrence. Nothing was said that this might happen and we only had one working flashlight, which didn’t do much to light the house. It would’ve been nice to know about this and to have working battery operated lanterns, and know where to find them.

The house is beautiful- looking at the mountain. Large, with lots of space for our group of 6. Gorgeous outdoor dining and grill - we had all our meals outside. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. Property manager was helpful and communicative. Best location! 2 minute walk to the beach. 5 minute drive or 20 minute beach walk to Tunnels Beach.

The photos don’t do it justice. Open and airy with comfy lanai seating out facing mountains or in back listening to surf. So well equipped- there was nothing this house didn’t have. Really impressed with rental agency as well. They hooked us up with concierge service to help cater a family anniversary celebration. Walking to the beach each morning was another plus. I don’t hesitate one moment in booking this place if you are looking for relaxation and beauty a bit off the main tourist path.
