Well equipped. Fabulous view. Very dangerous getting out of driveway lower oven not functioning correctly. Dryer did not work. Two louver doors very difficult to open and close Refrigerator door was opening on its own. Great family place. Tons of towels for beach. All and all we loved it

We traveled with 2 other couples and the location of the property was perfect for us. Right on the water with the sounds of the ocean was lovely and peaceful. The property is tired and in need of maintenance. Some examples: grill was unusable, bikes on back porch are rusted, locked up and unusable even though listed as part of amenities, trash from a bike that has not been put together on back porch as well, Stovetop cracked, outside screens falling off, fixtures rusted throughout house. The smoke alarm was not working properly and we were told to unplug for our stay. All communication to management company is AI and not a real person. Dryer vent blows debris from dryer into one bedroom so it is covered in dryer lint. Common area needs more seating than a single couch, Bedrooms were nice and bathrooms were nice other than rusted fixtures. Keypad entry was tedious as it’s a 10 digit code and is required to open and lock the door each time entering or leaving.

This was an adult vacation and the property did not disappoint. The house was well stocked with towels, toys, tiki torches and chairs. The sunrises were spectacular and we are considering making this an annual trip. The only disappointment was that it ended too soon!!!!

Overall was a good experience. Location was awesome and had amazing views, especially the sunrises. Not sure how it is year round but the beach behind the house was too rough for swimming during our stay. Kitchen was well stocked, plenty of pots/pans/silverware. Tons of beach towels and great beach toys/chairs etc.
The only negatives were the beds were below avg and the bathrooms are in need of updating(new shower heads, faucets, bathtubs reglazed). Ultimately the good outweighed the bad and was a solid 4 star stay

The beachfront location is perfect for anyone looking to relax by the water but also be surrounded by some of the most amazing sights in Kauai (Kalalau Trail, Hanalei Bay, etc.). We had a few maintenance issues during out but had good communication with the local manager.

Beach location with nearly constant loud waves to help sleep! Very close to Tunnels Beach which can be hard to get on. Refrigerator needs to be replaced it was rusty on the outside and several sliding doors and screens need to be replaced. Very close to road but not really an issue. Would rent again!

Lovely home with a view! They made our honeymoon feel so special and am already looking forward to staying with them the next time we go. Close enough to a little town, yet far enough feel like a getaway from everyone else. Super family friendly with lots of space and amenities, if you’re second guessing it just book! Definitely worth it!

The beach house was perfect for our stay in Kauai for our honeymoon. Great location and it felt secluded with your own beach, but plenty of food options were right down the road. Very relaxing and we got some great hiking in as well at the state park. 10/10 recommend!!

We loved our house and it’s location. Right on the water with waves crashing outside our windows. Our own private beach was incredible. Everything was fabulous about the trip. My only things I would improve were the screen doors are getting rusty and the refrigerator needs to be replaced it’s on its last leg.

My husban and I and our two girls age 11 and 6 spent a week in this gorgeous spot. We enjoyed beautiful sunrises and beach time during the day and listened to the waves at night. Each bedroom has a wonderful and unique view. It is minutes away from swimming friendly beaches. We loved that it was secluded and quite private. Our whole family can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful home in an amazing location on the north shore of Kauai. Other reviews talked about “breezes”… let me be more clear. There is no A/C, as in most places in Kauai. August days are hot and long, and the house has direct east sun exposure, so sunrises are AMAZING, but after the sun comes up it gets really hot, like 80 degrees inside the house, even with all the windows/doors open, fans on, and shades drawn. Just be prepared, that’s all I’m saying.
Beautiful house and bedrooms, well-equipped kitchen with plenty of pots/pans/utensils for cooking, and an amazing drip coffee maker. New wall microwave/oven, good dishwasher, but the refrigerator needs to be REPLACED. I’m sure the owners will do that soon. Lots of beach gear available, which was great. The marble and wood detail in the home are really beautiful. Only other thing to mention is that all beaches in Hawaii are public, so there were two people sleeping on the beach around the house. We didn’t have any issues, but just be sure to lock your cars and doors.

Stylish, airy 3BR beachfront house on secluded stretch of beach 15 minutes west of Hanalei. Large dining table with 3 benches comfortably seats 6 on lanai overlooking lanai, and there is large indoor dining table as well. Living room sofa only seats 3-4, kitchen is well-equipped but small. Nice beach towels, washer and dryer worked well. Property management company promptly addressed odor from septic tank.
Our family of 5 (3 adult children) enjoyed our stay, but there are a few reasons I give the house only 4 stars:
1) In January, strong surf precluded going in water anywhere near house, which was tantalizing in a beachfront house. Closest safe swimming was 15 minute drive away on east shore of Hanalei Bay, which has view of backs of hills of Napali Coast. View from house is ENE toward Princeville. In January, with sun in south, we could not see either sunrise or sunset from house.
2) Deferred maintenance. Exterior of fridge is covered in rust.
Fridge should be replaced. Handle to overhead shower below lanai has rusted off, though foot shower to rinse sand off your feet still works.
3) It's not clear from pictures of house on website that there is no shower in the 2nd floor bedroom, which is largest bedroom in house (it does have a Jacuzzi).

We loved our time there. The home is so close to the beach that you can hear the surf. It’s actually so close that we had to close windows at night just the dampen the sound of the Surf. You pretty much have the beach to yourself. There are only a couple houses on it and not readily accessible to the general public. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils. Lots of coffee filters in the pantry. The view from every room, including some of the bathrooms is incredible. There is a small grocery store in Hanalei that is well stocked. There are also several local restaurants and souvenir stores.
You are pretty much at the end of the road on the north shore so decent little drive to Lihue which is the main town on the island. Road to the home can be a little harrowing at night with several 1 lane bridges but by the end of our stay I got comfortable with it. If you want a home away from hustle and bustle and with a view to die for this is the place

This house was amazing!! It’s steps from the beach. Beautiful views from all the decks. The beach is pretty private and a quite oasis from the busier beaches. They have body boards and snorkel equipment for you to use. Would highly recommend this house to everyone visiting Kauai. I personally love the location.

We loved how there was amazing ocean views from every room. Very relaxing and enjoyed the beautiful beach a few steps away. There were a lot of waves during our stay so went to sleep to the sound of crashing waves. Very private.

Great house and location. Was clean upon arrival. The waves are so loud but wonderful! Dryer dial broke. Power was shut off during our stay due to owner auto pay setup error. Local manager worked to get it restored and did. House could use a few updates. Not enough kitchen equipment. Overall, we would stay again as we think it provides the best view and wave action and private beach north of Hanelei.

Loved the open, breezy air throughout the house and the crashing waves against the rocks below. Driveway situation right off highway is a bit unnerving but we got used to it. House very comfortable for 6. Location is great. Beautiful part of the island. Would stay here again!

The home sits forty steps from the beach. Yes, I counted them. The breaking of the waves against the rocks just south of the house is something that I would never truly be able to describe. I'm usually a pretty light sleeper, but the nights were relaxing and the mornings were amazing. We never closed the windows and found that the house was always very comfortable. We all (3 couples) had unbelievable views of the beautiful ocean from our bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms had bathrooms and the other bedroom had a bathroom right next to it. We each had a night of preparing meals and did so in the kitchen that had everything that we needed for a memorable ocean front dinner. The homes layout is perfect for socializing or individual and group relaxation on the lanai right outside the dinning area. Each bedroom also had balconies that had room for individual areas to relax. The home is a perfect fit for the island.

Loved our stay. The sounds of the waves and view was very dramatic. The three bedrooms are situated away from one another for privacy. No swimming at this beach tho but Tunnels and Ke’e beaches are just up the road. The cute town of Hanalei is close by as well. We are very happy with our stay.

Beautiful setting. Right on the beach. Super private. Only have one neighbor to the west and it’s tough to even see the house. The last home on the stretch of beach before Wainiha Bay. About a 50 minute drive to Lihue Airport. Hanalei city, about 5 minute drive, is a perfect tropical little island town with great food and shopping. The best beaches on the north side are on either side of you. Two Tips: if you want to go to hike or go to beach in state park, at the far North end of the island, you have to make reservations in advance as they’re limiting the number of entrants on a daily basis. Second tip is look up the highway construction schedule between Princeville and Hanalei. A massive landslide back in March left the main highway impassable and they’re doing construction and there are only certain times of day during the week that they’ll allow you across the bridge (overall it was actually really great because it almost limited the amount of tourists wanting to visit the north shore. Also highly recommend a helicopter tour. We went with Safari and our pilot, Kyle, was great! Hell was highlight of our trip. Would absolutely go back.

Gorgeous views from every bedroom and deck right on a private beach. Convenient location to Haena State Park, Tunnels Beach, and Hanalei Bay. Perfect location for the Kalalau Trail. Lots of room for our family. Snorkeling and beach gear was helpful. The sun rises were amazing. We hope to come back some day.

Fabulous location with a semi-private beach. Most of the time, the beach was to ourselves. Beautiful sunrises. Wonderful ocean breezes. Besides your own private beach, Tunnels beach and Hanalei Bay are the best beaches. Ke'e beach is fair beach, but a great place to see the sunset and take photos of the Na Pali coast. Note- the guard at the Ha'ena State Park leaves at approximately 5:30 pm and there is not a gate, so even without reservations you can park and see the sunset.
The house has 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, but the upstairs bathroom only has a Jacuzzi tub. The downstairs bathrooms have shower/tubs.
Kitchen was nice and all appointed. We cooked most of our meals. Dishwasher, oven, refrigerator, built-in microwave, electric stovetop, and sink all worked well.
Clothes washer was malfunctioning, but we were able to get it to work by pulling power cord and letting it sit for a ten minutes or so.
They had beach chairs, boogie boards, and some other beach toys. No surfboards.
There are 5 one-way bridges leading to this house. The house is located after a sharp turn after crossing the double one-way bridge. Cross the one-way bridges in caravans of 5-7 cars. Backing out of the driveway can be dangerous - there are large plants obstructing your view. Probably best to back into driveway.
Warning - you must have a recent COVID test (no more than 72 hours old). We had spent a few days on Maui, so we had to fly through Honolulu, get a 6-hour COVID test, then fly to Kauai. If you arrive in Kauai without a test you will end up in a COVID hotel bubble or they will SEND YOU BACK TO THE MAINLAND - even if your COVID test comes back (after you land on Kauai) negative.
Warning - most of the parks and gardens require reservations. Some are booked for months in advance. The Ha'ena State Park and Ke'e beach are must-see locations on the north side. They both require advanced reservations.
Warning - there was a landslide on Hanalei hill. See the Hawaii DOT for exact times, but the road is only open (one way) between 5:30 - 7:30 am, 1 - 2:30 pm, and 5:30 - 11 pm Monday - Saturday. The road is open from 5:30 am - 11 pm on Sunday.
