Hale Koolau Treehouse, Charming Getaway TVR #1018

Hale Ko'olau Treehouse, Haena
Permitted Vacation Rental Property - Permit ID: TVNCU #1018
Transient vacation rental is located in the tsunami evacuation zone

Canopied in tropical foliage is Hale Ko'olau Treehouse. Vacation like you’re living among the treetops in a charming and bright, one-bedroom (King Bed) and one-bath house on Kauai’s famous north shore, in the community of Haena. With high ceilings, beautiful furnishings, air-conditioning and all the amenities you would need, Hale Ko'olau Treehouse awaits your arrival.

This cozy island getaway has a large master suite with a king-size bed and private lanai with stunning mountain views. The comfortable open themed living room has lots of seating, flat screen tv and much more. Beautiful decor touches can be found in the rainforest granite, hand-made copper sinks and lavish amenities. Complete with washer and dryer, this treehouse is unlike any other!

Enjoy all the feels of island living with spectacular mountain views from the lanai. Grill on the BBQ in the evenings or sip your coffee in the mornings, this treehouse getaway offers a perfect, quaint spot for the ultimate getaway.

Take a short stroll to Tunnels (Makua) beach, best known for snorkeling, surfing, and sunsets. No need to leave Haena to explore the Maniniholo Dry Cave or hike the rugged Na Pali Coast. Wander to the world-famous town of Hanalei, just a 10-minute drive away, for restaurants and shopping.

Also located on this private, half-acre (2023m2) property is a three-bedroom/three-bath house called Hale Ko'olau, which can be rented in combination with Ko'olau Treehouse.

Take a restful retreat and vacation off-the-ground, perched among the lush treetops of the Garden Isle at Hale Ko'olau Treehouse.

*Note there are two homes on the property. Both are vacation rentals. Hale Ko'olau is the main front house. Hale Ko'olau Treehouse is the guest cottage located in the back. Both can be rented separately or the entire estate (main + guest).

Loved Every Minute of Our Stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at this property in Haena. The location, the view, and the overall comfort made it feel like a true retreat. It was even better than described — peaceful, well-maintained, and incredibly relaxing.One unexpected bonus: cell service was basically nonexistent on the property, which turned out to be a gift. We were happy to be fully disconnected from phone calls for a while. That said, the Wi-Fi worked perfectly, so we had everything we needed.The host was great with communication. We made the mistake of not downloading the property guide ahead of time, and since we didn’t have service when we arrived, we had to drive out to access the lockbox info — totally on us, not the host. Once we got in, everything was smooth sailing.We’d absolutely recommend this place and would return in a heartbeat. Mahalo for a beautiful experience!

Loved this rental! Perfect location

This rental is very much as described: it’s in a nearly perfect location tucked away on Kauai’s north shore (the best!) and in a great place for a couple (or small family—there’s only one bedroom) to hide away and enjoy the tropical paradise that’s Kauai. The cleaners did an impeccable job and the place has AC (which is hard to find). Book it!

Wonderful get away location

The tree house was spacious and all the amenities were there. My friend from Kona and I enjoyed the stay very much. It was quiet and peaceful. Lanai with star-full of sky was beautiful. A walking distance to beaches were a plus and short walk/drive distance to coffee shops and restaurants.

Wonderful Haena

We enjoyed our week stay in Haena. The property is well positioned and cared for and makes an excellent home base for a remote stay in Kauai. The manager did respond timely to our need of additional coffee filters and attempted to get the front door lock to work (to no success). The neighborhood was nice - the local rooster will ensure you are awake early!

Private luxury treehouse on Kauai's North Shore

Just a five minute walk from secluded Kepuhi Beach on Kauai's North Shore, the Hale Ko'olau Treehouse is by far my favorite lodging on Kauai, and quite possibly all of Hawaii. This one bedroom apartment shares a spacious fenced compound with a larger rental dwelling, but we never heard any noise from the other guests or nearby neighbors. Mountain views from our spacious living room were fantastic, and two high quality and quiet ductless A/C units kept the heat and humidity at bay during an especially steamy Labor Day week stay. The kitchen was very well equipped, and we enjoyed both the upstairs and downstairs outdoor furniture as venues for the meals we cooked. High quality beach gear with a location enabling 2 minute drives to much prized Tunnels Beach parking made Hae Koo'lau a perfect stay for a couple of snorkelers.

Wonderful space!

My husband and I stayed at this delightful home for a few days at the end of our Kauai trip. It was a very pretty and calming space--with lovely little touches like copper sinks and a comfy window seat. The property manager was great. It's a short walk to a beautiful beach and a perfect size for a couple. I'd totally go back!

Just what we needed!

The house was wonderful and well appointed. We loved the views off the balconies. As advertised, it was a short walk to one of the most amazing beaches - great for snorkeling and swimming in the calm waves. We wanted a place to relax, unwind and we found it. The owners were very helpful and responsive when we had questions. Would love to visit again!

lovely treetop paradise

My husband and I stayed for 5 days in February. Had a fantastic time. The location is wonderful and quiet. There are roosters that get active at 4am. Aside from that, its is a beautiful property --just short steps to the beach. We walked over to watch the sun set almost nightly. Great kitchen to make dinner and enjoy a relaxing wonderful few days.

Honeymoon

Absolutely gorgeous. So inspiring that 1) we dont want to tell anyone its here so we keep the "secret" and 2) we booked the larger house during our trip because the resort we planned for thr 2nd half of our stay on coconut beach was just a downer after being out here in secluded paradise. Opakapaka grill and bar is a beavh aide resteraunt with live music, absolutely a must. And the beach is walking distance and very private Tunnels is a must and walkable if theres no parking. We already want to come back. Its peace.

Lovely home in great location

This home was a great fit for our family. It was laid out as described and very well maintained. The nearby beaches were pretty and uncrowded. Na Pali is only minutes down the road and Hanalei is a short drive in the other direction. We stocked in groceries from Princeville and enjoyed meals out on the deck every night. The kitchen was provisioned with all the pots and pans needed for a week's stay. Do bring spices and condiments though. We would love to go back--it's a gem!

If you are looking for a more secluded vacation await from the more touristic areas, this place is perfect . The host was extremely receptive and helpful. Would definitely return if lucky enough.

5 * experience at the Treehouse

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I could not have been more pleased with this hidden gem. Our first trip to Kauai, I was not certain where to stay, we found the perfect place. Couldn't have picked a better location. The Treehouse itself was perfect for us. All the amenities, lots of space, quiet, private(there was Noone in the main house). Close to beaches, fun drive to get there and the views were amazing. I would recommend this to all my friends, acquaintances or anyone looking for a couples getaway to Kauai.
