We’ve been staying at this property since 2014 . always nice to come back on vacation here.
- [ ] We arrived the day of the tsunami. The owners were super friendly and kept us in the loop every step of the way. The home did have everything stocked like your primary home. However, it does need some updating. A few unpleasant rusty things around the home. If you need a cool house, definitely find a different home. We thought the ocean winds would keep the house cool. In the afternoon it was too warm and humid for us to stay inside. The home clearly states there is no AC. We are from Texas so we are accustomed to AC. It was extremely warm and humid some nights where sleeping was uncomfortable even with all the fans running and windows open. Also, we had a strange man come park inside our drive way a few times. It was startling as I have two teen girls going in and out of the house and I was concerned for their safety to find a man just walking on the property. The owner was notified and was unaware this was happening and told us they would correct this issue. The TV is also broken so the perfect home to unwind with just the gorgeous ocean. The home definitely is in a perfect location on the beach. If you can forgo AC, definitely stay here for the location.
Property was pretty much perfect in terms of location and beach access. The interior was comfortable with everything one might need in a home. We cooked the entire 5 days which was very convenient. The sunrise and sunset were beautiful each day. Late night star viewing was amazing due to it being pitch black and no light pollution. There were plenty of beach toys, chairs, snorkels, ice chest and a much needed umbrella. I was worried about the lack of air conditioning in the property prior to arrival. It was not bad at all, even in 90 degree weather. 100% would return.
Great location for those looking for some peace and quiet right on the beach. Beautiful ocean and mountain views. Has all the amenities you’ll need in a spacious house. Can’t wait to return!
We loved our stay in this house. The neighbors were friendly, the house and location were excellent, and the amenities made for a comfortable stay. We will be back.
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful beach property—spotless, well-equipped, tastefully decorated, and just steps from the ocean. The location was perfect for a peaceful getaway, and Dave and Nicki went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Their excellent communication and warm hospitality made the experience truly special. One of our favorite vacations—can’t wait to come back!
Wonderful beautifully maintained beach home close to Hā’ena State Park, Tunnels beach and minutes to Hanalei. We enjoyed meals on the wrap around porch with views of the ocean and Mount Makana, lounging in the hammock, playing games in the large beachfront yard. If you’re looking for a quiet location, with all the comfort of home that’s close to outdoor activities and surrounded by pure Kauai beauty, Kepuhi Kai, is the spot for you! Nicki and Dave are excellent hosts who communicate well and provide a great deal of information about the surrounding areas and things to do. It surely helped us have an incredible time!
This place is pretty special. The lanai is worth the price alone....we spent a ton of time just watching the waves and relaxing. Then walk 50 yards to an awesome beach that is not very crowded at all.
Such a beautiful and special property and great place for us to spend time together as a family. We loved the views and proximity to the ocean. The house was well-equipped and Dave and Nicki were proactive in making sure we had what we needed.
Great place. Right on a quiet beach with good snorkeling. Lots of relaxation. If you just want a quiet place to chill on the beach this is the place. Thank you!
Everything you could ask for! Incredible hosts, beautiful home and perfect location. This was our second visit and can't wait until next year!
Lovely house on the water with wonderful Lanai views. House is truly Hawaiian but with all amenities. We look forward to a repeat stay of
This place was extraordinary!. The location was right on the beach and the view was spectacular. The house itself was so well appointed with everything that you could possibly need!. Highly highly recommend.
Very nice beachfront older style Hawaiian house. Most important, on the beach with beautiful ocean views.
Very clean and nice.
This location on the beach can’t be beach for a quiet, beautiful locale. The water is great for snorkeling and the house was well supplied for our needs.
Very peaceful spot in Hā’ena.
We will be back!
We spent most of the vacation just lounging and reading on the porch, where you see the ocean behind a beautiful mature tree on the property. If you look off in the other direction you see the mountains. Truly a great piece of land, and we love to snorkel every morning just a mile down the road. It was sad to leave. I also have to note that somehow this area was free of roosters, and for me that was an unexpected bonus.
Beautiful house with all the necessities. We had a wonderful time the view was amazing. We had so much fun. Will definitely return
We had a truly amazing time and loved the house. Exactly what we were looking for to regenerate and relax. We would love to come back again. Thank you for having us!!
The memories we made here were amazing. The beach was steps away where we could go out and snorkel any time. The house had everything we needed!
This house was ideally for our group. The view of the ocean and reef from the deck was perfect and we loved the easy direct access the this beautiful beach. It was obvious that the owners put care and consideration into the property and cleanliness.
Wasn't too sure about the bedrooms layout ( you have to pass through one or go outside to get to the kitchen area), but we adapted and wouldn't want to be anywhere else. We got up for the morning sunrise and visited with other regulars on the beach. I met Vinnie, immediately, (dog) who greets all. Im a dog walker at a shelter so this was a bonus. The raised wrap around deck offered a beautiful view and we played many games of Farkle there, even when it was pouring. Being a wildlife lover, I enjoyed walking down to the tide pools, where aquatic life has a special habitat. (They don't live in the ocean, just tide pools). I'd want to go back on a future visit.
We loved our stay. Incredibly beautiful location.
This is a little slice of Paradise, a special property.
We felt it was ideal for a couple, or family as one bedroom must be passed through to reach the other. Not a privacy problem for us.
We visited in the winter, so like all HI islands, the waves, winds and currents on the north shore were intense. You must be careful and smart about swimming in the bay. That said, we love Hawaii rain or shine, and sat on the beach and swam every day. We tracked the tides, which we are used to doing. We can't wait to come back in the summertime. You should also be aware of the weather and bridges for flooding and construction, but we experienced no problems.
We loved that the house was in a quiet neighborhood, 15mn from town. We enjoyed the farmers markets, restaurants, and a great fish market. We "cooked" minimally.
It absolutely met expectations. No bait and switch here.
The hosts were communicative and lovely.
Great location just steps from a quiet beach.
Beach front at its finest. Our grandkids came to visit as they live here and loved playing on the large grassy area and then walking down the path to a wonderful beach where shell hunting is a blast. The home
Is very comfortable and has everything you need. Enjoyed the quiet morning sunrises and you can go to sleep with the sound of the waves. Just Lovely
