Live the ultimate Kauai experience in this luxe and spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath airy tropical house.

Designed from the ground up as the ultimate tropical vacation home, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home in the idyllic community of Haena, pampers you with the soothing sounds of the surf, five-star amenities and some of the most awe-inspiring views along the North Shore of Kauai.

Spread across a generous 2,600 square feet, this home’s ideal location puts visitors within easy reach of beaches revered internationally by surfers, swimmers and sailors. Not only is it a leisurely two-minute walk to the nearest waves, but it’s also just down the road from the world-famous Tunnels Beach, Kauai’s snorkeling nirvana. Venture further to experience the dramatic beauty of the Na Pali Coast, or just look out your windows at waterfalls trickling down Mount Makana.

You’ll have more than 800 square feet of covered, luxuriously furnished lanai (what some call a porch) surrounding the house, tempting you outdoors at all hours. Settle in to a deeply padded wicker chair to sip Kona coffee at sunrise, sip a lilikoi fruit smoothie in the afternoon or grill the catch of the day as the skies turn golden during the latest sunset in the United States.

Inside, the home’s open floor plan brings mountain and garden views into the combined kitchen, living and dining area, where you’ll routinely gather to recount the day’s adventures. On the breakfast bar, find a gift basket of local artisan chocolate, Hawaiian spices and discount coupons that will ease your introduction to favorite Kauai treats and adventures—ice cream, bike rentals and a catered dinner. If you need more ideas, leaf through our book of suggestions for hiking, dining and sightseeing, or borrow our beach gear for a day of sunny recreation.

Throughout the house, strategically located windows open to the cooling ocean breezes and bring a light, airy atmosphere to every room. Spacious bedrooms on opposite wings provide ample privacy for groups of couples, friends or families of up to six people. The 12-foot cathedral ceilings and multiple seating areas add to the sense of space.

You’ll immerse in a distinct island experience here. Original island artwork—paintings, carvings, sculpture—captures the tropical beauty. Furnishings are high quality, but casual enough for shorts and flip-flops. You can even bathe under balmy tropical breezes in the enclosed, hot-water outdoor shower.

Each bedroom is arranged for comfort and convenience. The master suite has a king bed, walk-in closet, dressing area, adjoining bathroom and access to a lanai. From the front guest room’s queen bed and lanai, you can gaze at the every-shade-of-green terrain. The second guest bedroom also has access to a lanai and offers cozy quiet and two twin beds that can convert to a king.

In no time, you’ll be living like a local, stocking up on impossibly fresh sushi and shopping the farmers markets for exotic fruits and vegetables that you whip into smoothies and cocktails. With a kitchen outfitted for the most discerning chefs, you’ll be turning out quick meals on the barbecue gas grill with ease. You won’t lack for indoor entertainment with a 42-inch flat-screen television with surround sound, a DVD player and high-speed Wi-Fi.

In anticipation of our guests’ every need, the electronic front door locks require no keys to pick up, share or return. The kitchen is fully stocked. The laundry room features an over-sized washer, dryer and large pantry.

If you feel like you’re in a movie set, that’s because you are. Views through the sliding glass doors frame Makana Mountain, which stood in for Bali Hai in the classic movie, “South Pacific.” Nearby, George Clooney filmed scenes for “The Descendants.” In such pleasant surroundings, you can’t help but feel like a star.

*** Cancellation Policy *** Cancellations for bookings require a 30-day written notice for refund of your initial deposit. The $50 reservation fee is non-refundable. If less than 30 days' written notice, the rent & excise tax are forfeited. ***

Amazing property

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.

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: 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.

Incredible

An absolutely wonderful house in tropical location. The house is well stocked with everything you would need. They’ve thought of everything with all the little extras. The views of the mountains are breathtaking. The beach is a short walk / drive away. Tunnels Beach is amazing with fantastic snorkeling on the reef. This house is a little remote which we loved. Town is a short drive away with shops and restaurants. If we’re ever lucky enough to return to Kauai, we would definitely stay here again.

Our favorite beach Tunnels is close-by. For privacy there is good separation between bedroom wings and open living areas.

Paradise Found!

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: WE DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE!!! This beautiful home provides every comfort to make your stay feel as if this was your own home. Even better than the photos! Incredibly clean (I'm very picky): looks like a new coat of paint on everything! Clean, freshly-laundered sheets, comfortable beds, plenty of house fans to help the cool island breezes, house alarm, door codes so you don't have to worry about a key, beautiful path to the beach...I could go on and on. Like I said, we didn't want to leave. The owners and rental company have made every effort to ensure you forget about everything except enjoying this beautiful home on the beautiful island of Kauai. The rental agency was quick to respond to our questions and just a phone call away. Very impressed!We stayed in Princeville in 2018 and because of the immense flooding that year were not able to get over to this part of the island. I am SO glad we stayed in Haena. Even though it is a little farther, the one-lane bridges, the horse that grazes by the side of the bridge, the curving road along the coast, the little shop that opens at 10-ish and closes at 7-ish all result in a very quaint, relaxing and tropical feel. We walked to a local coffee shop every morning and sat watching the waves crash against the lava rock. Simply breathtaking! Just writing this makes me wish I was still there! WE'LL BE BACK!! Mahalo for a magical experience!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is an idealic home in paradise. It was perfect for my family of 4 plus my parents when visiting the North Shore. The views are amazing and the house is spacious with multiple sitting areas inside and outside. The crosswinds and ceiling fans keep the home cool and there are additional fans if needed. Sitting on the oceanside lanai in the afternoon provided a really nice breeze. The house was equipped with everything we needed for meals at home including a grill on the lanai. I can't wait to return to the North Shore and this beautiful home.

Hang out on the lanais and relax

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: This is a great location with gorgeous views from both lanais. It was fun to change lanais according to the weather and the time of day. Roomy kitchen for a group to cook in with plenty of kitchen wares. We LOVED the outdoor shower with adjustable temperature for the water! Many windows and fans made for a great view and temperature in the house with lots of air circulation. The beds were very comfortable. There were plenty of towels for inside the house and chairs and towels for the beach. TV complete with apps for streaming, and great bluetooth speaker system. We appreciated the coupons and suggestions in the notebook at the house. It was helpful to call the vacation rental company to find out what was available in the kitchen. We highly recommend a walk to the public access beach off of Alamoo and Alealea. Great for snorkeling with lots of tropical fish and a few sea turtles. Walkable from the house with chairs, Kepuhi Beach. Lovely place, lovely stay.

Great house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a great house as described on website. Pictures accurate. About a block from the beach. Owners have taken very good care of house. Well maintained and up to date. Enjoyed the back porch. Just FYI...this house is in a residential neighborhood and does have very close neighbors that a driveway is shared. From porch literally looks down into someone else’s house and yard. Not that this is a con, but something to keep in mind of you are wanting a house with privacy. Also, the closest beach is not really useable. To get to the sandy area requires walking to the beach and then about a quarter mile up to the sandy area. Again also something to keep in mind if you are wanting to be close to a sandy beach.
