Here's some useful information for you....
Welcome to The Guest House at River Estate…..
It will be your own private riverfront paradise that is completely unlike any other vacation property on the north shore of Kauai. You'll feel at home as soon as you enter the property and that feeling will last until you leave to return to your own home you left behind to come to Kauai. This is the natural Hawaii you have heard about and this location has a lot of the spiritual energy that draws people back to Kauai over and over. It's tangible and deeply felt by our guests.
River Estate is a block from a secluded beach which can be accessed by kayak or paddle board centrally located in the prime North Kauai area between Hanalei and Ke'e beach. There is no other north Kauai rental property that offers this. Take a picnic down to a beach with no public parking and thus no other people on it. When the outside areas are crowded during peak times of the year you'll always be able to come home to peace and quiet. Try finding that in a beach house or a house in town. River Estate is just removed enough to be totally peaceful and private yet very close to everything North Kauai is famous for and as such very conveniently located for easy access to all the area has to offer.
Before you arrive I will have already communicated with you and offered my services as your private concierge and sent you a complete welcome package filled with helpful information. My 50 years here have provided me with many experiences which I will share with you to help you make the most of your time. I will remain at your service throughout your stay.
The location of the property is centrally located on the north shore of Kauai between Hanalei Town and Ke'e Beach at the end of the road by Haena State Park which is easily accessible by bicycle which we can provide for you. All the activities and attractions on the north shore are within 3 miles of the property. East is Hanalei and west is Haena and all the beaches it is known for. You'll come home every night to peace and quiet.
When you stay at the Guest House you’ll find the kind of experience that welcomes you after a long day of surfing, swimming,...

Wowed by Mark's River Estate Guest House!! The home is well-appointed with a great kitchen, very comfortable beds,
and cold a/c when one needs that after a day on the Kalalau trail or big day at Lumahai Beach. Our favorite part of the estate is the stream that runs alongside the house! We rented kayaks and spent many mornings and evenings paddling downstream to Wainiha Bay to watch sunsets. We also enjoyed walking to the Wainiha General Store for smoothies, ice cream and a great selection of beverages!
Mark was very responsive to all the questions we had before and during our stay. I can definitely say we're planning to stay at the River Estate Guest House the next time we vacation on the North Shore of Kauai!

Wonderful experience. Mark’s guest house is so unique and private. It is the quintessential north shore abode. Clean, nicely appointed, comfortable beds and EVERYTHING works! Which is huge considering we have paid twice as much to stay in “luxury” homes where there is always something broken. Mark is a great host, always available and helpful. He arranged to have paddle boards dropped off at the house for us so that when we arrived we were ready to go. There are also beach chairs, an umbrella, boogie boards and a cooler. We will be back!
Thanks again for everything Mark!

My wife, 10 year old son, and I had a wonderful week-long stay at the Guest House. The stream it sits on is great and we enjoyed paddle boarding down the stream to Wainiha beach.
One thing I very much appreciated is that unlike many rentals, the house includes some basic food items, such as salt and pepper, coffee, rice, condiments in the fridge, etc. We made several meals, including grilling, and had all the utensils or appliances we needed. There were also several beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, and a couple boogie boards.
We enjoyed sitting on the deck and reading. We tried to unplug as much as we could, and there was no cell service (a lot of hand made signs in the area in opposition to putting in a cell tower), but solid wifi that was easily good enough to stream movies at night.
It isn't really within walking distance of any swimmable beaches, but is a short drive (less than 10-5 minutes) to several swimmable beaches and Hanalei.
If you have a small group and want somewhere that isn't a resort and is fairly quiet, I highly recommend it.

Our stay here on the north shore was amazing!! Mark is a wonderful host and was super helpful and even had kayaks delivered before we arrived. The place was super clean and the views make you feel like you are in a remote jungle. The sound of the river flowing is so tranquil. Kayaking to the private island is super easy and we enjoyed watching kids jump from the one lane bridge. Marks place is secluded and remote yet is so close to town - quick drive to restaurants and stores. Kitchen is well equipped for cooking and had plenty of essential items. The bed was comfortable and the water is super hot so be careful and rest before jumping in. It was easy to leave too off our Jeep as parking is under the house. We loved sitting on the porch listening to the sounds and watching the day start with misty rain. We will definitely stay with Mark again! Thanks for sharing your beautiful place with us.

Exactly as promised. The house was very clean and well equipped. Loved the jungle birds in the morning. Even the roosters! The river next to the house has a very soothing sound. Very quiet, no road noise. We stayed at the guest house and it was a perfect fit for our Family of 4. Great owner, very good communication. Lots of great beaches in the area, we often walked to the beaches near the house, great morning walk.
