Tropical heaven
A wonderfully stocked house in a gorgeous setting. A screened lanai offered great early morning coffee and late evening dinner/drinks. Wonderful art work & pottery displayed. Multiple fans throughout the house helped keep us cool. The bed was so comfortable and the AC in the bedroom was very much appreciated to cool down the heat of the day. And it was close to several excellent beaches, great restaurants, a local market which had lots to offer, bigger markets in Hanalei... all in all, a great location.

In the trees above a mountain valley
Definitely a unique property, unlike any other, the elevated living level was located up above the forest floor and provided privacy and views. The layout was open and the number of windows, screened porch and orientation towards the valley and mountains beyond made it enjoyable to stay there.

Lush tropical immersion
Beautiful private location, close to everything on the north shore with a spectacular view from the screened lanai. We enjoyed the table on the lanai for breakfast with a lovely view, & the hammock is a nice touch! Kitchen is very well stocked, there are plenty of towels, and the bed is comfortable. We appreciated having a second bathroom, washer & dryer, a little cooler outside, and ice packs in freezer. When we arrived the house felt stuffy so we opened doors and windows to let the breeze blow through the screens. The house cooled quickly, but the indoor lights attracted lots of tiny bugs which came through the screens. We closed everything up and mostly kept it that way. There were still tiny ants in the house. We appreciated the little basket of insect repellent out on the lanai. A spray of ant killer around the kitchen baseboards and at along the threshold between the lanai & kitchen helped keep the ants at bay. The morning we were leaving I opened the silverware drawer and tiny ants scattered under the tray. That one bothered me, so I did call & let the management know. It is a lush tropical forest near the river so I guess bugs go with the territory. House was pretty clean. Closing windows and running the air conditioner in the bedroom along with room fans kept things comfortable and helped block out outside noise of roosters and barking dogs. Overall, clean enough to be comfortable, very well stocked, private, amazing view, great convenient location.

The house itself is awesome! The location is so cool - with views of the mountains and all the greenery. The art inside the house was a wonderful surprise. Based on other reviews I was nervous about the dogs barking, but we didn't find it bad at all.

Amazing location. The views and privacy were fantastic. Checked in after dark, easy to find with provided instructions. Not the most immaculate on cleanliness, but it wasn't anything detrimental. Was very much worth it.

Large screened porch allow you to enjoy the sights and sounds of Kauai’s north shore. Be prepared to be waken at sunrise by the plentiful roosters.

Nohonani House
We had a great time at the Nohonani house. Overall the place is very nice. The screened porch was wonderful for sitting and viewing the mountains completely bug free! The AC in the bedroom was a great addition. Not only does it cool the room for sleeping but it is noisy enough to cover the sound of the dogs barking at night. The barking isn't constant but it can be very loud. It was the one thing that might deter us from returning.

Gorgeous views in Wainiha
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 really enjoyed our stay at Nohonani! The location was a short bike ride from Tunnels/Makua Beach and Hāʻena State Park/Kēʻē Beach. We rented bikes in Hanalei (John at Bike Doktor) and easily accessed the beaches each day (don't forget to buy your Hāʻena State Park entry passes 30 days prior). The house was clean and beautifully maintained. We loved the ceramics/art throughout the house and the local books/library. Our favorite spot was the screened-in lanai and the hammock - a perfect spot for reading and enjoying the mountain views.There are lots of sounds about - roosters (of course), beautiful bird songs, and frogs too. And yes, as other reviews have mentioned, there are sounds of numerous dogs barking - sometimes frequently and at length (all hours). The white noise machines helped counter that, as well as the A/C unit that we ran before we went to bed and we used our earplugs as well (noise-cancelling headphones work too).All in all, we loved our stay, we hope to return, and would definitely recommend!

In the “Deep Country “
Wonder views of the mountains, valley and waterfalls. Strong Wi-Fi and very limited cellular. Screened in Lanai was the best part. Great outdoor shower to rinse off after a day on the beach. Keep the front screen and door closed to keep out the mosquitoes….especially around 5pm. Barking hunting dogs were a nuisance. Sound machine did help at night.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: If you like to get away from people this is your place. We spent 12 nights here and spent most of our time just taking the views which are amazing. There are a few houses nearby but it is difficult to see them because of the lush environment. Would definitely stay here again.

Jungle oasis
We loved staying here. We had one very stormy day and it was delightful to watch the wind blowing, rain pouring down, the clouds blowing across the sky. We even enjoyed the night sounds the dogs barking, the bullfrogs singing into the night, topped off with the rosters crowing at the crack of dawn. Plus the many birds flitting about. The screened porch made this all possible! Great place- we always look for off the beaten track places- much more real.

No one mentioned the dogs
The place was perfect. The surroundings were beautiful. The only problem was that there was a kennel next door and other nearby dogs that barked to each other all day and night. The property managers have put in sound canceling speakers so we were able to sleep. There was no mention of the dogs until we got there and read it in the folder that we “may occasionally hear the neighbors hunting dogs.” We wanted to love this place but I resented not knowing about the dogs ahead of time.

Mostly Paradise
One step into the house and your eyes are instantly drawn to the windows. Amazing sweeping Mountain View’s that are breathtaking. The majority of my time was spent on the screened lanai. Loved the sites and sounds of the birds, including the roosters. It’s mostly peaceful but there did seem to be packs of dogs barking off and on throughout the day and night. Some days/nights were better than others but it made it difficult to have windows and sliders open. One night there was screaming and gunshots from a neighboring property and the lack of curtains made me a bit nervous. Definitely made use of the white noise machine in the bedroom to fall asleep. Think about packing ear plugs. Adequate supplies, things are a bit run down, furniture and bed are not so comfortable, and odd furniture layout. Loved the geckos and lizards taking care of business inside and out on the lanai.

An extraordinary spot - with a caveat
It exceeded our expectations in it’s comforts and it’s one of a kind sweeping valley view. I’ll never forget getting up in the morning and stepping thru the bedroom slider onto the wraparound lanai, passing the living room, the dining room and into the kitchen to make coffee, all the while taking in a view out of a tourist brochure.

Anniversary in Paradise
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: What an amazing place, for those of us who love mountain views and tropical plants! View from porch was nearly 180 degrees, and beautiful at in rain and sun, lighting changing throughout the day. The porch screen kept the bugs out, adding a glorious room to this cute place. Was clean and well-appointed and had personality, like hand made pottery to dine on, interesting books about, and real artwork. Bedroom was spacious and had a very comfortable bed. Do bring earplugs of good quality to block out the serenading dogs and roosters at night, who in daytime are part of the charm! A wonderful place to feel far away from it all, yet actually pretty convenient, 15 minutes to Hanalei. One lane bridges make it even more charming. Close to Ha'ena State Park, Limahuli National Tropical Botanical Garden.

First Anniversary Honeymoon
We own a construction company and our wedding last year was beautiful but in the middle of pouring concrete foundations. This trip was a delayed honeymoon for our first Anniversary and it was great to spend it in such a beautiful location. We love the quiet neighborhood (except for the constant roosters crowing!), proximity to the beach, and closeness to Haena State Park. We definitely recommend this beautiful house.

Nohonani is everything you're hoping it to be with one exception.
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: The space is roomy, the two bathrooms were clean and having the second bathroom was very useful for my wife and I. The kitchen with well stocked with necessary supplies. The screened in porch is unlike anything I have ever seen and makes the place twice as large. The views of the Wainha Valley will blow you away. Nohonani is an amazing choice for 2-3 people with the exception of the neighbors hunting dogs barking. They will bark 24/7. The property managers do provide white noice and it is helpful. Honestly, if not for the dogs barking, this place would be twice as expensive. Its worth staying there despite the dogs.
