It is the oldest island of Hawaii and has towering mountains, scenic canyons, and spectacular waterfalls. Here, at this modern beachfront home, you can escape to "old Hawaii" amongst towering kamani and ironwoods trees, swaying palms, and turquoise ocean. Savor the moment of this relaxed tropical paradise while lounging on the lanai and watching the sunset after a glorious day of ocean play.

Hale Ekahi is just minutes from the town of Hanalei and beachfront to Tunnels Beach, the best snorkeling location on the island. The Na Pali Coast Trail and Ke'e Beach are 2 miles from the property and accessed with a permit. Please visit . The 1 Hotel (golf, tennis, spa, and restaurants) is just 20 minutes away. The north shore of Kauai offers a multitude of fine restaurants and daily activities; a list of recommendations will be available to you for your stay.

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 home is very danish, with simple elegant decor. Very comfortable sofas and beds with a kitchen that can accommodate all types of cooking. The art is simple and beautiful. Most importantly the view was one of the best on the island. We took the lawn chairs out to the beach to watch the sunset every night. We could see the sunrise from our bedroom window. The home has a ping pong table,hot tub and various fins and masks and snorkels. There are plenty of beach towels. We will definitely come back next year if it’s available. The women that manage and clean the property were very nice and accommodating and personable making it feel like a family home. River was quickly responsive when we had questions. Can’t wait to return!

Lovely house on a lovely beach. The sea was a bit rough during our visit, so swimming right out front was iffy, but Tunnels Beach is a 10-15 minute walk down the beach for a comparatively sheltered and safe swim. You may be able to tell from the listing that this is one of two nice homes on the property. They are reasonably screened from one another and the two sets of people in the other house during our visit were pleasant and generally unobtrusive, but noticeable nonetheless. The YMCA camp next door was no problem during our stay; campers in cars came and went without any impact on us. The host was pleasant and responsive dealing with the one minor issue that came up. The kitchen is well-equipped but somewhat limited on cooking supplies beyond avocado oil, salt and pepper, and a few herbs that people have left. There are plenty of beach supplies. Highly recommend overall.

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: House is extremely clean and well cared for. Good overall space and location is astonishingly good. Off the main road right on the beach. Winter time we often had the beach to ourselves. Very few passing beachgoers. Tunnels beach and snorkeling is within walking distance down the beach 5-10 minutes. YMCA next door had basically no activity, but I could see it being busy from time to time. Public access to the beach runs along the west property line, but the majority of the traffic turns left to go to tunnels beach. The house next to this rental sits on the same site and has a shared back yard. We spent considerable time on the back porch and hammock reading and enjoying the privacy, which would have been greatly diminished by another group using the same space. Kitchen has everything to cook, which is nice as it is 15-20 mins to the nearest food in Hanalei. With all that considered we had an outstanding stay at this ideal home.

We had an amazing 5 nights at the house. The house was even better than the photos. Everything was immaculate and the. house was very well stocked with anything we could possibly need. I am very picky about home organization and cleanliness and the house surpassed my expectations. And of course the views of the water and mountains were gorgeous!

This house was such a dream. The beach out front was gorgeous. The house amenities were so stocked and the quality of all the items were what we are used to at home so that was a big plus. There was truly everything here. All you need is your suit and some groceries! The kids had so much to do between all the fun activities at the house and the beach out front. Haena is such a peaceful, beautiful hideaway and we will definitely be back to this house!

The kitchen was the best stocked kitchen I’ve ever experienced in a vacation rental. We enjoyed this home so very much. Important to know is that there is a shared lawn and beach access with the other house on property!

We stayed a week at this beautiful Haena home and it was more than we were expecting, and we had high expectations from the pictures. Beautiful location but towards the northern end of the island and a bit isolated from restaurants/bars (really not a bad drive to Hanalei, just be conscientious of the several single lane bridges) - but this is exactly what we wanted. The home itself was absolutely stunning and extremely well maintained. It had all the amenities you could want, including plenty of beach gear. Just steps from the beach and short walk around the point to Tunnels. It is located next to a YMCA camp and there were activities there several days during our stay but was not really bothersome. Most the time you will have the beach out front mostly to yourselves. Make sure you walk down to catch the sunrise in the morning. While possible to swim right out front, I'd recommend making the short walk to Tunnels for some of the best snorkeling and swimming on the Island. If you do plan any activities on the Southern part of the island, make sure you plan a significant part of the day. Overall, I highly recommend, and we will be looking to stay there again next year.

The house is nicely nestled back off the main road with lush landscaping and beach at your footsteps. Location was more remote and was quiet and peaceful. Nicely decorated with premier quality bedding, linens, furniture, etc.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent a fun and relaxing week at the Hale Ekahi. The house was clean, airy, bright and tastefully decorated. Located on a beautiful, swimmable beach, it is also in walking distance to Tunnels. We enjoyed early morning coffee on the comfy lanai, swimming and snorkeling at Tunnels and stunning sunsets from our beach. We've vacationed in Haena several times and this was our best trip yet! We will return.
