Our family (including 4 in their early 20s) spent a week enjoying the beautiful home and nearby beaches. We loved that each bedroom had its own private bath. The kitchen was well-appointed and we cooked a number of meals together. The proximity to Hanalei, Tunnels Beach and the Na Pali coast trail provided everyone with great options. And we were lucky to have really great weather. Will definitely be back!

This was our second stay in the house. The first was many years ago, before a major renovation. Both times, we loved the house because of its location and layout. Because all three bedrooms are spacious and have en suite baths, it is great for families or couples. The renovations are tasteful and lovely.

We were 3 adult couples who are close proximity friends at home. This was our second trip together and we found Hale Hena to have enough room for us all to be comfortable in. We are all cooks and found the kitchen to have everything we needed.....except for sharp knives which we have NEVER found in a vacation rental and which is why we always bring at least 1 with us. Hale Hena is practically on the beach and closes to snorkeling as well as the various marine life ( seals and turtles).The only downside of staying in Haena is the distance to good restaurant food in either Hanalea or Kapaa.

This house was really enjoyable and made us feel like we had a dream home on the North Shore for a week. It was exactly as described in the listing, clean, and comfortable. The location and view are top notch. You can't go wrong with this rental!

This rental was an absolute dream! Beautifully decorated, spacious and fully appointed with everything needed for a beach vacation. Access to the beach and views from the deck were fabulous! The management was responsive and pleasant. The neighborhood was private and quiet! We loved the downstairs area to lounge, grill and hang out!

My guest and I have each traveled the world and been fortunate enough to have stayed in some fantastic places. This easily ranks up there with the very top. From the moment you arrive, after taking in the ridiculous view from the living room to the waves breaking, you realize how clean and spacious and modern the accommodations are and yet it feels warm and comfortable with just a subtle touch of island/surf decor. It really has everything you need. New appliances and beautiful kitchen and plenty of towels for beach and home. The ping-pong table, swing and beach chairs were surprise bonuses in the beautiful patio. Even a yoga mat! And most importantly, the location is fantastic. Just close enough to Hanalei to be convenient for the great restaurants and stores, but far enough out of town to feel away from the crowds, if there are any. A very short walk to the beautiful beach, and a short drive to some other stunning beaches as well. And every time you return after being out, it feels like a real home. Impeccably maintained by the management. Really wonderful. A slice of heaven. My only complaint is that the time flies by too quickly. Hope to return soon. Thank you! Aloha

Home is mostly as described and pictured but we thought from pictures we would have closer access to beach. You need to go out to road and walk to public access path. Its about 5 min. Kitchen had most things we lost power a couple nights but house had candles and flash lights at ready so it was actually kind of a nice unplanned experience. we needed to make meals and grill was great. It was a real north shore experience but best for those who know thats what they want, we did.

Really enjoyed our stay in this house. The house is very well appointed and the interior design has great character. We've rented houses on the north shore of Kauai eight times now and this is certainly one of the top overall. A truly relaxing getaway!

My husband and I really enjoyed staying here. Inside was very well laid out with plenty of places to sit. The AC worked wonderfully and the beds were so comfy! The TVs and washing machines worked with no problems.
The outdoor space is very private and fun! There are lots of places to hang out in the shade or walk around the yard and admire all of the beautiful plants and flowers.
A very short walk or even quicker bike ride to the beach access was right next to the property.
We would recommend staying here and hope to again one day.

You can be confident of your best vacation ever with this property. Hale Hina tops our list. Everything you need is provided, and it is so well maintained. The owners and management company really care about the home and their guests. We loved the location. Easy access to everything. Two great hiking and beach days at the state park. Be sure to make a reservation there. Loved Tunnels too, and Hanalei Bay. All the beach supplies at the house make these great outings. And a fun restaurant steps away at Opakapaka Grill if you want a change from cooking (though cooking at Hale Hina is a good time because of the set-up, inside and out).

The location of the home is great. Walk to a nice beach and super close to Tunnels Beach. Well equipped kitchen and nice furniture. Private with a view over a vacant lot to the beach. We did however have to do some cleaning when we arrived. Mold in the dishwasher which was filthy as was the guest bathroom Lots of mold. The washer also wasn’t clean and smelled. The bikes were in bad condition and one of the beach umbrellas was broken. Loved the ping pong table and grill which are under cover. The company was great to work with and super professional. Overall, loved the home and would stay again. With some minor issues to be resolved, this would be a 5 star.

Hale Hina is an exceedingly well-appointed house in a very special location. Outfitted with three bedrooms, laid out in a very private way, the house also contains two exterior common spaces, and a large interior common space.The location was pretty incredible. Not quite beachfront, but steps to the beach, it provides an excellent beach view across a neighboring property, and is surrounded by lush foliage, which provide a home to many birds and afford the home ample privacy.I highly recommend this house to anyone looking to stay in a more remote part of the island, with nearby access to what seems to be the most celebrated beach on the island, Tunnels.Makana was easy to work with, and I recommend booking with them directly (rather than a middleman like Airbnb) to save big on cost.

My family and I spent a perfect 10 days in the magical Hale Hina, cooking nightly in the well- appointed kitchen or the downstairs bbq area, walking the 1/2 mile to Tunnels beach every day, and watching the sunset from our own wilder b a high nightly. The house itself is beautiful and well-stocked with beach chairs and umbrellas. While we did venture out for a hike or two , an ice cream cone in Hanalei bay, we were happy to come home to the peaceful beauty of Haena. Everyone I talked with at Makana vacation properties was kind and helpful.

The location, setting, and residence details made this stay exceptional. This place was as comfortable as I ever experienced and the details made it even better. Often times, rental homes don't meet their own advertised expectations. This place far exceeds it in my opinion... We will do it again...
