Probably one of the best parts of our trip was being able to call this place home for a few days. Amazing property just steps from what is basically your own private beach. Highly recommend it!!

The short walk to the beach was amazing. the rest of the home and neighborhood was just additional benefit.

We have vacationed on the North Shore Kauai since the mid 1970's. Waiohonu was a perfect location for our stay. We enjoyed privacy, comfort, walks on the beach, and beautiful sunsets during our stay. We enjoyed cooking meals in the well equipped kitchen or going out to many of the local restaurants. The customer service was outstanding. I receive a phone message from the management alerting me to an upcoming temporary power outage early the next morning due to electrical company maintenance for our general area.My son and his friend went on a hike to Kalalau for a few days. The trail is less than a mile from the house. My wife and I went ocean fishing and caught dinner for quite a few days. Hanalei is flush with Hawaiian culture and food. The Tahiti Nui, Kalypso, and The Hanalei Dolphin were our favorites. In the past visits we drove to the south side of the island, but we did not want to spend that much time away from this beautiful property. We frequented the restaurant Opakapka that is walking distance from the house. Very good food including fresh fish. At the end of the day we looked forward to sitting on the beach in front and watching some of the most beautiful sunsets.

The listing pictures do not do this house justice. The beach beyond the house is right off the yard— you can watch sunsets looking west along the coast and walk to tunnels (30 min) along the beach. The neighborhood is quiet, beautiful, and friendly. The house was incredibly well stocked (more so than any other Vrbo we’ve used), including beach chairs and a cooler. If I had to say anything negative it would be the lack of a full wall on the master and the 2nd bedroom was a little snug for our 11 and 13 year olds, but the listing pics are accurate. Thanks for an incredible stay!

The north shore property is beautiful in every aspect. The pictures do not do it justice. The large private home, 20 steps from the ocean is a dream. My wife and I spent 12 days at the house with everything you could imagine; coolers, beach chairs, well stocked kitchen, and windows everywhere to see out. No air conditioning, however, with the windows open the house got cold at night enough to use covers in bed.John H.Inlet NY

very nice, it is a nice location, the house does not have a covered lania therefore it is hard to sit outside on the rainy days, which you can have a lot of in the winter time on the north shore. The screens need to be addressed so that you do not have to deal with the mosquitoes. an inexpensive fix

We have come back to Waiohonu for about 10 years. It is now a regular part of our annual rhythm.... a place of peace, beauty, refreshment. The amenities are complete but simple...which is just how we would want them. Every morning at dawn, I take my cup of coffee to the beach and watch the sunrise. Almost every late afternoon, we walk west along the beach for the sunset. What can we say except that we have no desire to stay anywhere else!

The home was the perfect location to be out of the hustle bustle. Emersed in the beauty of the North shore the Ocean sounds caressed us to sleep in this open-air well-appointed beach bungalow.

Great Location, Well stocked kitchen, beach toys, chairs, games, etc. Comfortable except could use new bed in Master. Clean. It was nice that the foliage in front was trimmed for great views of the ocean-in the past it had grown up and blocked the view.

First, Kauai Vacation Rentals is wonderful and trustworthy and takes care of anything you need. So be confident using this company!As for Waiohonu... we found it to be pretty much perfect and will be back yearly, if possible. If you are looking for 'deluxe' accommodations and need A/C this is not for you. Which is not to say it isn't lovely.. it is!! It's just not 'fancy.'The location is perfect. And private. While there are houses on either side, the yard is large and the vegetation makes it private. You can lay out in the sun and run around in the house and yard however you like, if you get my drift. The view from the house and the deck is amazing. And the beach is right there past the palm trees. The beach in front of the house is a perfect place to watch the sunrise and sunset, both stunning. You need to walk to the right about 3 houses to get to a perfect place to swim, which we did often. (There is a lot of coral right in front of the house.)I was impressed by how well stocked the kitchen was with equipment. We hit Costco on the way from the airport and while we ate out a few times, as there are good places to eat in Hanalei, I also cooked a fair amount and, as a chef, I was never really in need. Excellent. The living area is very comfy, as are both bedrooms. I slept well in the twin bed in the room with two twin beds. My friend won the coin toss and also loved the larger bed in the other bedroom. Again, impressed by the quality. No, there is no A/C but we were never uncomfortable as the breezes were almost constant. With all the screened windows open, the house stayed cool with a lovely breeze. While we did a few excursions and hikes, I could come to this house for a couple of weeks and never leave and be very content. It's terrific!!

First, let me say that Kauai Vacation Rentals is an absolute joy to deal with. They really showed the integrity and competence of their organization through this pandemic when flexibility was so important. Now on to Waiohonu... honestly, for what my wife and I want in this time of restoration and refreshment where we want the sea...we want mountains... we want privacy and simplicity with all the comforts... this place is perfect... this must be our tenth time here. The only reason we would stay anywhere else is because we had to. It is the perfect spot on the most beautiful island.

My family and I spent 9 days at Waiohonu and we enjoyed it very much. This was our first time at Waiohonu but not our first time on Kauai's North Shore. Having previously stayed over the years at the Hanalei Colony we enjoyed the privacy of a stand alone home right on the beach.

We’ve been to Hanalei many times and this was our best stay yet. This house has gorgeous views, is very private and was very comfortable. We did a lot of cooking and kitchen is well-equipped. Snorkeling just a few yards down the beach was easy - just grabbed our masks and fins when conditions were right. Only drawback to house is 2nd bed/bath not as nice or private as master. Worked out fine since we had adult children join - might be a bit awkward for 2 couples splitting cost.

This was a beautiful house and the location was perfect! It’s right on the beach were you can snorkel over an awesome reef. There’s shopping 15 minutes up the road and a really good coffee joint right next to the property. I’d recommend this house if you’re planning ton visiting Kauai anytime soon. The only downside to our stay was that it was raining and cloudy the whole time so I could only imagine how beautiful it would be on a sunny day!

We could not have hoped for a better location to stay on Kauai! The home was comfortable, and the view was absolutely spectacular! We loved being just steps from the beach. We'll likely stay here again on our next trip.

Great location on north shore beach within walking distance of Tunnels Beach along beachfront and resort dining four blocks away. Private, quiet location with great snorkeling entrance 100' to right. Calm waters are protected by offshore reef. House is old Hawaii style with ample kitchen, dining and living rooms. Cons: Master bedroom off living room has little privacy due to low adjoining wall. Second bedroom bath and shower are somewhat primitive.
Enjoyed short walk from nice balcony to beach. Beach chairs and umbrellas in closet. Only three beach chairs were at house first day and another broke the first day, but Kauai Vacation Rentals replaced both chairs the next day....THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT SERVICE GLORIA!! Overall a great experience and will book again!
