Kauai's North Shore has been a frequent backdrop for countless movies due to its incredibly lush beauty and phenomenal beaches. Nestled within this gorgeous, pristine expanse, lies Haena Kai. Set back just thirty paces from a soft, deserted, coral sand beach, this three-bedroom, two-bath, elevated home awaits your family retreat. If you want to escape the crowds and let the soothing surf wash your cares away, welcome to your piece of paradise. We are pleased to announce that Haena Kai is now solar-powered with battery back-up in case of power outage. When staying at our home, have peace of mind knowing your environmental footprint is smaller.
Surrounded for privacy by a lava rock wall, towering coconut palms, and lush landscaping, Ha'ena Kai’s elevated position, wall of windows, and wraparound lanai capture superlative views of the reef and fringing mountains. With the newly added split unit air-conditioning system in all rooms, you are sure to stay cool after a day of adventure! The home’s open architectural design creates an inviting gathering space while also allowing for breezy trade winds to cool the sanctuary naturally. Additional ceiling fans are strategically located throughout the structure to ensure your comfort yet retain that Old Hawaiian feel. Best of all, Haena Kai has recently undergone a dramatic and purposeful renovation to make your visit a respite of pure pleasure and renewal.
The home’s interior has been tastefully yet charmingly transformed to meet your every need in style. A new gourmet grill on the lanai and a kitchen filled with state-of-the-art, stainless steel appliances beckon you to prepare that special meal you’ve always wanted to enjoy in a tropical setting. But if you don’t feel like cooking, no worries! One of Kauai’s top-rated restaurants is but a hundred-yard walk down the beach. The main living area has been appointed with invitingly comfortable furniture and should you desire some visual entertainment, the new 65-inch 4K UHD television set awaits. The main living area is also equipped with a workstation and high-speed wireless internet access for those who must touch bases with the outside world. When the day is done, three thoughtfully appointed, soothing bedrooms stand ready to comfort and recharge your soul and the 1000-count Egyptian cotton sheets ensure your slumbers will be sound and satisfying. For your comfort, all the bedrooms are now fully air-conditioned.
Our home is professionally managed by a team that strives to make your visit immensely enjoyable, carefree, and memorable. Remember, when it comes to your vacation, nothing less than paradise will do.

This is the second time we were lucky enough to stay in this amazing home. Everything about this home is special and welcoming. It’s modern, breezy, has every appliance you could need in the kitchen, comfy sheets on the incredibly comfy beds, plenty of bath and beach towels, a yoga mat. You can walk around the amazing porch, that looks out at both the gorgeous tropical mountains and the gorgeous beach! You can watch the sunrise every morning by walking down the simple pathway. I mean, it’s just the best rental we have ever been to. We feel blessed to have been back again and would be honored to be able to stay again in the future.

This beautiful home was the gem to our Hawaiian vacation! Located in a quiet neighborhood within steps to the beach. One of the most well appointed homes we've rented through VRBO as far as ammenities and a fully equipped kitchen. We enjoyed cooking for family and friends while enjoying the beautiful view! Excellent communication with the house manager when we needed her. Kauai is our favorite of the Hawaiian Islands and this home is now a favorite too!

This Haena home was absolutely lovely. The house is comfortably furnished and is just a 2 minute walk to an empty reef beach. Unfortunately for us the HVAC system broke just a few days before we arrived in two of the bedrooms. The master was perfectly fine so we tried to tough it out but it was just too hot for the kiddos, so our amazing Hawai’i Life hosts worked with us to transfer to a different property. Everyone was so kind and helpful- so much aloha! We’d be honored to stay there again. Had it been any other season of the year, the A/C would not have even been an issue for us. I would recommend both the home and the hosts without any hesitation.

We loved this house and the location close to a beautiful beach. But, the ac units in the bedrooms hardly worked at all. They were serviced a month prior to our visit, so maybe they need replacing. Mgmt wasn't very responsive during our stay, and couldn't get someone out to look. They told us the ac is working properly (if so, you're going to have very warm bedrooms!). It was only in the 70s while we were so it wasn't even that hot. We didn't get a satisfactory refund for our trouble.

A beautiful home a stones throw from a lovely quiet beach. The beach is safe for snorkeling, swimming, or just watching the sunrise and set.
You could easily walk to the well known tunnels beach and not have to worry about parking.
Home came well equiped with beach essentials
as well as all the necessary cooking esseantials to make
great family meals. My favorite part was awaking every morning and seeing the sunrise from my bed.

From the mountains to the ocean and lush tropical greenery in between, the views are unmatched. We were a group of 6 and had more than enough room in this spacious, clean and well appointed home. It has everything thing you need and more. The short path to a private beach is the icing on the cake! We would definitely stay here again!

We can't say enough about our beautiful Kauai vacation! Our home was perfect and far exceeded our expectations. The photos do not do it justice! The home was so roomy and clean, with the most stunning views! We mostly loved that we were just steps away from the most beautiful beach in Haena! We snorkled almost everyday of our 10 day vacation and were lucky enough to see a few turtles as well as the most beautiful fish! Definitely one of the highlights of our trip! We had many things planned during our vacation, however we found that we all preferred to stay at the house and play on the beach! It will be a trip that we will FOREVER remember! The kitchen provided us with everything we needed to prepare our meals and truly felt like home away from home. The only complaint was the A/C unit in the living room did not work and neither did the dishwasher but it definitely wasnt something that impacted our stay negatively! We can't say enough wonderful things about our stay and cannot wait to get our next vacation planned at the same property!

Property is very nice and updated! Location is amazing! Beach out front was great for some snorkeling and swimming. Really good for relaxing. Home was well appointed. Communication was easy and seamless. Would definitely stay here again!

We stayed for a week at the end of Aug. beginning of Sept. with our son and his wife. There is plenty of room to spread out and have privacy. The master suite is at the opposite end of the great room or living space from the other two bedrooms and bath. The house is absolutely gorgeous, the pictures do not do it justice. I couldn’t believe how huge the wrap around deck was and the gas bbq works great! The kitchen has everything you need and then some. Unfortunately there was a problem with the dishwasher during our stay,but we were ok with hand washing. The week we were there the beach out front was a little windy/choppy so not great for swimming or snorkeling, however it’s a relatively short walk to Haena/Tunnels where there is some protection from the wind. There is a restaurant (Opakapaka) right next door at the Colony about a 3 minute walk away. Generous drink pours, so-so food, beautiful views.If you’re looking for privacy and luxury this is the place.Just a few notes:The A/C works greatThere are beach chairs, an umbrella, cooler and fins at the houseIf you take night walks wear bug sprayEverything is clean and sparkling - I almost walked through a sliding glass door :DBe sure to walk out on the beach at night, the stargazing is to die for.

great place to spread out -lovely lanai - could catch sunrises and sunsets!
Had one issue with the dishwasher and the property manager immediately helped out.
It's a stretch for us money wise but well worth it and will try to stay here again.

Perfect house. Nice layout, clean, amazing views of Kauai's north coast on one side and sea on the other. Steps from a hidden beach with great snorkeling.
