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.

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

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 views on the front porch are incredible and the snorkeling at tunnels beach was phenomenal, even saw a seal on the beach. The house is beautiful, loved the outdoor shower!! The house has big open windows but the landscaping provides total privacy. Loved staying there!

We appreciated this location toward the end of the road. Hearing waves st night and chickens in the am. House was clean and well kept.. Beds and furniture were comfortable. Upkeep was very good..Building/ home being built on next lot which had some early morning traffic.
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.

Fantastic house with all the necessities and a great location. Beautiful views! Neighbors could tidy up their visible yards a bit but otherwise a great rental.
We loved this house — we’ve been to the area many times and this was an excellent house in this price range… highly recommend! Can’t wait to come back! Xo

Perfect! Always feels like home.
Very comfortable. Close to the beaches. Everything needed to enjoy a great stay. Many thanks to Kauai Vacation Rentals for changing the twin beds to a king bed with short notice. 😀😀

We loved the remote feeling, the towering mountains to the west and the roar of the ocean at night. The house was large, comfortable and had everything we needed. The walk to the ocean was very easy and the proximity to Haena Beach and the Dry Cave was great. And also, Hanalei Town was so close. It felt like a real “Hawaiian experience “ and it was.
