Traveling north past Hanalei, you enter the dense jungle and intense blue waters of Kauai's far north shore. There are no words that can describe nature's beauty in this region. Many beaches, including tunnels and ke'e, are in the area. Trail heads for some of the most memorable hikes on earth are nearby. The ocean view from the home is spectacular.
The Wainiha beach house brings you old style Hawaii in a jungle setting with a stream flowing in your back yard. Built in 1963 of Polynesian design, the house was the dream of Peggy Slater, known as the Amelia Earhart of sailing. Waterfalls, rainbows, crashing surf, fragrant flowers and exotic colorful birds will surround you. Please note: If you are sensitive to noise, the home is located on a "slow driving" section of Kuhio Highway which at certain times of the day you can hear the passing cars going over the one lane bridge. Home has high speed wireless internet, phone, cable tv, and full kitchen.
BEACH ACCESS: The beach in front of house that you see in the pictures is not accessible. The closest public beach access is 1/4 mile drive either direction from house. Tunnels beach (one of the most scenic beaches in the world is 1/2 mile away.
Bedroom 1 has a King bed. Bedroom 2 has a King bed and Bedroom 3 has a Queen bed. There is A/C in the master bedroom.
PLEASE NOTE: The bedrooms in the home are "railroad style" meaning they run in a row. Keep this in mind as it is more suitable for those not requiring lots of privacy between the bedrooms.

House, beds, living room was very comfortable. View of the ocean from all rooms was very pleasant. Minutes close to beaches, Hanalei for eats and provisions and Napali. Ha'ena area is serene.

This house was perfect for our trip. I occupied the first bedroom in the line and it was amazing to wake up to the sunrise each morning. The house is close to everything. Yes, there is noise from the road. However, there is also the sound of the ocean and the bullfrog that resides in the front yard. Once you get past the bumping from the bridge, the sounds of nature take over. The house gets a nice breeze if you open up all the windows. There are beach chairs- they are located at the back of the house by the washer and dryer. We did not have great luck with the washer while we were there. Hopefully it’s fixed now. Otherwise, great stay!

This is such a lovely Hawaiian home. The beautiful wood and long hallway with the large windows was ideal for have coffee in the morning and l loved feeling the breeze sweep through the house. We had a great time here and although it was me and my husband, this house would be perfect for a larger family to share as well.

Perfect Hawaiian getaway. The house was so unique and classic Hawaiian feel. Excellent location. Didn’t ever want to leave. Being able to walk to the general store and coffee shop was so fun.

This is a Classic Hawaiiana home. Yes there is traffic but when everyone goes home for the day you hear the sound of the waves. We felt quite at home here.

My family of 5 had a wonderful stay at this location in Wainiha and it actually exceeded my expectations. Past reviews mentioned that the rooms were arranged railroad style and this is true but we did not find this an inconvenience. We loved the feel and history of the house and it was nice to be close to the store for any items we needed to quickly pick up. Hope to return someday! Mahalo!

Pros: super awesome beach house vibe and decor! This place had everything we needed for a fun and relaxing North Shore stay.
Cons: the railroad style layout. I don't recall this in the listing when we booked, so we were surprised when we arrived. Just a bit awkward when you're staying with your kiddo and in-laws and can literally hear what's going on in the bathroom and room next door all through the night. And the road/bridge crossing is louder than expected especially if you're a light sleeper (noise cancellation app works wonders though!)

My husband and I shared the Master bedroom. Our 2 adult sons shared the other bathroom and each had a bedroom. We ALL loved the home, beds, and location. If you are concerned about privacy and a gourmet kitchen- this place probably wouldn't delight you like it did us. Conversely if you want to feel surrounded by jungle, have an awesome view, be a bit removed from people, and can manage just fine with a bare bones kitchen (I didn't come to cook, I came to snorkle) this place is worth the stay. I had been concerned that it might be a bit shabby or weird- but it was absolutely perfect for us.
