Place was great. Clean and well supplied with kitchen utensils, towels, beach gear and other necessities. Get ready for tiny lizards in the yard and sometimes in the house :) Super close to the beach. Walls essentially don’t exist, so go with friends who don’t snore ;) This place is great for getting close to nature and enjoying the weather

Overall a very enjoyable stay! We loved the location with easy access to beautiful beaches and a short drive to Hanalei town. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking all week, and we were so appreciative of all the towels and beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, children’s beach toys). The beds were all very comfortable and everyone in our group slept well. I’m giving the house four stars and not five as some items could be more dialed in when considering the cost of our stay. One of the bathrooms has been updated, but the en-suite bathroom is very dated and could stand a refresh. But, nothing glaringly wrong, and we had a wonderful time on our vacation.

Our stay in Kauai couldn’t have been more amazing. Thank you to Acacia for providing such a beautiful well loved home for us to stay in during our trip. It was clearly built with love and Aloha.
Quick walk to the most peaceful beach. Especially beautiful at sunrise. Chairs and coolers provided were a nice touch.
During our stay a light went out, Acacia had it fixed within an hour.
I would stay again.

Neat little house but also quite spacious. Steps from uncrowded beach makes it worthwhile, but...I implore the owners or manager to get new bed linens---the old, faded and stained cotton sheets were from the 1990s it appeared from the print style. The bedspreads were gross. I gave up on the master bedroom as the bathroom was dark and kind of grungy with a really old mirror and the sliding glass door to the deck was almost impossible to open. The whole place needs a deep, thorough cleaning---corners, lampshades, windowsills, etc. Many windows did not function---not because they're old, necessarily, as stated in the property info book, but because they are not serviced and maintained with lubricants and grease on the mechanical hardware. I live near the beach in a 50+ year-old house and know the ocean air is corrosive, so maintenance is essential. All that being said, I'm still glad I rented this place. The kitchen is great and well-appointed and the proximity to that mellow private beach was worth it all! Really, a great place that could REALLY use some updated bedding and thorough cleaning and maintenance, then it would be perfect!

We are 2 couples in our 70’s. The house is cute, roomy and interesting. Lots of old wood finishes. There are 3 roomy bedrooms. The living room is spacious and comfortable.
The beach is an easy 2 minute walk from the house.
the neighbourhood is quite and well landscaped. I found the repeated instructions to be very quiet for the neighbours to be a little off-putting.
The beach is lovely and near-by Tunnels beach is awe inspiring, I wanted to snorkel but winter had arrived by mid-October and that was really not an option. We saw several monk seals, so I guess that makes up for it.

This was a really nice place to stay for a week. We stayed in the master bedroom and our bed was super. We really enjoyed our stay. Our friends liked their accommodations in the guest rooms as well. The kitchen had all that we needed and the bathrooms were great and easily accessible if you needed that. The house is big so it gives a spacious feel. The living room is come for table and cozy.
It’s also important for folks to remember that this side of the island is a jungle, geckos sing to you at night, it rains intermittently or torrentially, the roads are always under construction, the neighborhood is quiet so folks voices or coughs can be heard, you will be warm during the day due to the beautiful light filling skylights and there is no air conditioning. The fans are great and the house is built for the trades (wind). Beach access is awesome! Sunrises are beautiful, the owners were kind and got us in early, the home was clean and we all slept great. Aloha.

We loved the quiet neighborhood and the proximity to the beach for sunrises and sunsets. It was so easy to get to Tunnels Beach, Haena Beach and into Hanalei. We would definitely return!

We spent 6 nights at this lovely home. While we were busy on adventures during the day, we appreciated coming back to this comfortable home each evening. With the windows open and the fans helping when needed, we felt comfortable during our stay. The kitchen is organized and well-equipped. The three bedrooms gave us all our own space to unpack and settle in. Beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, coolers and beach toys were much appreciated. Communication with the owners was great. They provided timely information about access to Ha’ena Beach which we could have easily missed. The carvings in this home are beautiful and contributed to our authentic Hawaiian experience! Hope to come back to Kauai again and would not hesitate to stay in this home for our return trip!

When we first saw this posting we were floored by how beautiful and spacious this house looked, which it was. But once we started living in it we noticed things that made us question why it was priced so high. There was mold in the water filter. Mold in the shower. Mold in the washer. Mold and rust on kitchen appliances. Cobwebs on dining chairs, couches. Holes on window screens so flies were getting in. Bed/bedding was not the cleanest. At the end of the trip, we didn’t feel comfortable that we spent this much for this stay. The house was thoughtfully designed and we appreciated the beach chairs, umbrella, coolers, and other necessities. Communication was good, and location was great. If they spent more time upgrading the house and investing on dehumidifiers to minimize molding (considering it’s on North Shore), price point would be reasonable. Otherwise, the price should be reevaluated.

Although we only got to enjoy this beautiful and secluded home for a single night prior to beginning our journey on the Kalalau trail (with the house located a short ~2 miles from the trailhead), this home was exactly as advertised and even more beautiful in person, feeling extremely private and located in a lovely rainforest environment, we slept to the sound of rain throughout the night and stayed nice and cool while we slept using the ceiling fans and open windows. 10/10 would recommend to someone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle and just relax in a serene home.

The location of our rental was great! We enjoyed the semi private beach area that was great for snorkeling and just taking in the calm. I must admit that the lack of air conditioning takes some getting used to but the fans were helpful. The neighborhood felt safe and was quiet. The home is very well laid out but needs a few easy updates. We loved our stay and hope to return!

My wife and I just stayed here for a week and really enjoyed this house. It had everything we needed. It is in a beautiful location very close to our favorite north shore beach "Tunnels". It was true aloha feeling staying in this house ! Acacia was very quick to respond to any questions throughout the whole booking process and gave us great information to help us with our stay. She even replaced our beach umbrella within hours after I notified her the one at the house was not useable. Excellent service and communication. The house is truly a Hawaiian feel with beautiful Hawaiian wood carvings all throughout the house and the kitchen counters. Just an excellent location to enjoy all the gorgeous beaches on the north shore. Highly recommended !!!

We were very comfortable at Acacia's bungalow and loved the close by access to Kepuhi Beach which was our favorite snorkeling location. Haena and Tunnels Beaches are 1.5 miles away via beach or road, so also very accessible. The bungalow has a great layout for two couples, or a couple with small children - very safe neighborhood. Cooking was a pleasure in the well-equipped kitchen with everything you'd need including some basic cooking oils/seasonings. Good assortment of knives, although not terribly sharp. Beds were reasonably comfortable, but bedding/towels are due for replacement. Beach equipment is also near the end of its life, but workable. Patio/lanai furnishings are basic, and mosquitos are problematic unless there's a breeze. We saw lizards on the lanai and a few inside, but they kept to themselves. We had two rainy days out of eight days -- it was mostly sunny and warm. The house heated up during the day, but ceiling and floor fans were adequate to keep the air moving and us comfortable, particularly in the back primary bedroom. We thought the lighting could be better - perhaps upgrade the bulbs and/or fixtures to a higher wattage? Communication with Acacia was excellent throughout the process from first inquiry until we checked out. I'd like to stay here again with our adult children and their spouses, but there is a strict maximum of five guests, unfortunately.

The property manager was so nice and gave us so much information about the location and the house and the island. This house has so many windows. It makes you feel like you’re in a jungle when you look outside the plants and trees around the house are beautiful. It was a two minute walk to the beach it almost felt like it was your own private beach. The water was shallow clear and amazing. There’s also a little restaurant around the corner in case you get hungry or if you wanted to have a drink.

We absolutely loved this house for our first time in Kauai. The rooms were spacious and clean and the property manager Acacia shared a wealth of information before, during and at the end of our trip. She even sent a helpful text message the morning that we left, to let us know about upcoming storms and how we should proceed to get to the airport safely. The kitchen was plenty big with everything you need for cooking and dining; including your basic spices and oil. There was also a bag of beach toys, a couple chairs, and a boogie board at the house. The beach is a couple minute walk away and, it's just as pretty as any beaches we visiting in Hanalei. It was great for snorkeling and watching the sun come up. I really don't have anything to complain about on this property. We would be happy to stay there again, anytime.

My boyfriend and I took his mother, sister and brother-in-law to Kauai for the first time. We wanted a quiet location to enjoy all the lushness of the island. The Beachcomber Bungalow was the perfect spot - tranquil, quaint, and beach access about as close as you can get without being located directly on the beach. We had to spend a lot of time in the car to get to activities on the south and east side of the island, but we were prepared for that. We loved the proximity to Ha'ena State Park, Tunnels Beach, the Opakaka restaurant and coffee shop next door, the market a mile down the road, and the short drive to Hanalei. The owners were responsive and helpful - they provided tons of info about the area, tips and clear instructions. We couldn't have asked for more!

Nice property with a Hawaii vibe and a great outdoor space. This is a beautiful location with beach access footsteps away. We had beach chairs, an umbrella and 4 beach towels provided. We cooked almost all our meals at the property. The kitchen was stocked with enough basic items to get by (fridge, stove, coffee maker, toaster over and basic kitchen pans and dishes. The charcoal BBQ was also nice to have. If you plan on cooking much I would recommend stopping at Costco near the airport due to food costs being high at stores close by. You also need to bring refillable water bottles because none of the local stores sell cases of water. The beds where comfortable and so was the living room couch. The drive in is full of one lane bridges and it does take a while to drive around. If you are coming to relax this is a great location to stay. If you plan on doing lots of excursions and driving around the island this may not be the best location for you. For a long trip with lots of cooking I would recommend picking up a big nonstick frying pan and some extra paper towels and toilet paper. We did rent bikes but ended up feeling the main road was busier than we felt safe riding on, so we didn’t use them. Overall we where very happy with the house and the local beach.

The property owner was very easy to communicate with, and the property itself was well represented. We are a family of 5 (with a 12, 15 and 17 year old) and stayed in this Bungalow for 6 nights. The location was perfect. It’s minutes from Tunnels beach, a 15 minute drive to Hanalei Bay or a short walk to a very private beach that is absolutely gorgeous. Upon arriving, there were beach chairs, coolers and beach umbrellas lined up along the side of the house. We used them everyday and were grateful to have them! Ha’ena is a beautiful community and one of the prettiest places I’ve ever visited. So happy to have had such a comfortable stay.

I need to go look at the listing description, but I don’t remember it saying this lovely property was so hot from 10am to sunset. The house is not insulated and has sky lights throughout. In the afternoon, the heat was stifling. Maybe some covers for the skylights or swamp coolers. The back bedroom was comfortable becuz it’s hidden under foliage and the back deck was cool. If you’re young and active and out having fun during the day, no problem. Other than the heat, it’s a great property. 2 min walk to the beach and lots of swimming spots up north. Hanalei and P’ville were 15 min down the road for dinners. Plan to fix your own breakfasts and bring coffee unless you want to drive early in the morning. Clean, quiet, beautiful property.

We loved staying at Acacia and Keith's beach bungalow. It felt like a true getaway nestled amongst some of the most stunning landscape in Kauai. The location was great, close to Haena state park and some very beautiful local beaches. The house was well equipped and had everything we needed for our trip. I'd definitely prefer a stay here over a resort. We'd love to come back.

I need to go look at the listing description, but I don’t remember it saying this lovely property was so hot from 10am to sunset. The house is not insulated and has sky lights throughout. In the afternoon, the heat was stifling. Maybe some covers for the skylights or swamp coolers. The back bedroom was comfortable becuz it’s hidden under foliage and the back deck was cool. If you’re young and active and out having fun during the day, no problem. Other than the heat, it’s a great property. 2 min walk to the beach and lots of swimming spots up north. Hanalei and P’ville were 15 min down the road for dinners. Plan to fix your own breakfasts and bring coffee unless you want to drive early in the morning. Clean, quiet, beautiful property.

The house is so interesting and unique! The location is great for exploring the north and east side of the island. Being within just a few minutes walk to a beach was a huge bonus! The house and backyard are very private and quiet. It is an open air property so there is no AC - the master bedroom and dining area stay surprising cool during the day and are quite comfortable at night! The other two bedrooms as well as living room got quite warm during the day; however temperatures were higher than normal during our stay (upper 80’s every day) and they have several portable fans to help move air around the house. The kitchen was large but the knives were very old and beat up. The beach equipment was also not in good shape and several pieces were on their last legs. We were surprised by the geckos that make their way into the house but learned to love them and find them funny! Overall it was a lovely stay and we were sad to leave!

We thouroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was clean. The beach that is steps away is by far the best snorkeling beach on Kauai. We found ourselves driving back to the north shore to visit the beach after we moved down to Kapa’a for our final 7 nights on the island. The lack of AC took a little getting used to, but there were plenty of fans to use to cool off. The Milky Way was fully visible from the property. If you’re looking for somewhere on the quiet north shore, THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE.

Having previously done the "resort thing" on Kauai, my girlfriend and I decided to give VRBO a shot. After 2 years without travel, and a desire for a nice quiet beach vacation, we stumbled upon this listing and immediately knew we had found our choice. Nestled amongst a VERY quiet residential neighborhood, and just steps from the beach, this property delivered big on tranquility and relaxation. Acacia and Keith were wonderful hosts from start to finish, from making sure the property matched our needs, to walking us through the check in and out procedures, and making sure we had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. The bungalow is literally two miles from the end of Kuhio Highway, near Ha'ena State Park. While it lacks air conditioning, we never missed it, and the soothing trade winds and ample windows made for pleasant sleeping. If you are a high-octane family who needs to see everything on the island, this isn't the property for you. If you are like us, who seek relaxation, hiking, biking, the beach, and short jaunts into nearby Hanalei, don't hesitate to stay here! Thank you, Acacia and Keith, this was the perfect rental for us!

The property owner was very easy to communicate with, and the property itself was well represented. We are a family of 5 (with a 12, 15 and 17 year old) and stayed in this Bungalow for 6 nights. The location was perfect. It’s minutes from Tunnels beach, a 15 minute drive to Hanalei Bay or a short walk to a very private beach that is absolutely gorgeous. Upon arriving, there were beach chairs, coolers and beach umbrellas lined up along the side of the house. We used them everyday and were grateful to have them! Ha’ena is a beautiful community and one of the prettiest places I’ve ever visited. So happy to have had such a comfortable stay.

We had a really special week on the North Shore in this house. We followed Acacia's recommendation and rented bikes for the week which were delivered to the house before we got there and rode to Tunnels every day.
The best things about this house is the location - really close to the beach and it is nice and clean. It's been updated with new floors and fixtures and the kitchen is in good shape. It's also off the main road which is great. It would be an amazing house for anyone with mobility impairment as it is one level (two bedrooms with steps) but master on level with open access shower. The bedrooms are spread out from one another, which would be great for couples traveling together. A little less great for small kids but worked fine for us.
With houses on both sides and back from the road, it doesn't have a view. And it is quite warm during the day.
Does not have many games or such for kids - but who needs that when you are so close to the beach?

We enjoyed our stay at this nice property. It is well priced and perfect for a family of 4. We discovered some very nice snorkeling right around the corner (although it is often windy but worthwhile). The beds were comfortable and the kitchen is quite nice. The house did get a little warm during the late afternoons but cooled off nicely by morning. We'd recommend this house for others.

Exceeded expectations, unique beach bungalow with lots of charm. Open and breezy. No AC in July, we were concerned, but it was no problem with the provided fans. Very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay here. The beach is a short minute and a half away. Very few people on this stretch of Wainiha beach. Tunnels beach isn't too far away but you should walk down to the end of Alealea road to the YMCA property where there is a beach access and then walk North to Tunnels Beach.
The house itself looks small when you first pull up to the driveway but is actually nicely sized with all the rooms separated out to the ends of the house. The kitchen and living room separate the rooms. The Geckos where wonderful companions and the crickets at night were very relaxing. The ocassional shower was also very pleasant. The house does not have Air conditioning but the onshore breeze tends to keep temps moderated. Just open all the windows and doors and let the breeze in!
Check in and out were easy and Acacia was helpful when we needed her. The power went out the first night/day but beyond that, everything was great.

Our young family enjoyed staying at these sweet property in Haena. It's walking distance to the beach (although not a swimming beach due to onshore reef) and away from the hustle & bustle. Only note to share is that while there are plenty of fans to keep the house cool during the humid summer months, there is no A/C. Thanks for having us, Acacia!

My husband and I had such a lovely stay here. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, allowing us to fully relax on our honeymoon. Proximity to the ocean was amazing, and the bungalow itself was very cute and clean. Thank you so much!

Acacia went way above and beyond to accommodate our last-minute booking. The location was fabulous, the property clean and well equipped for any duration of stay. We would definitely stay again!!

Beautiful green jungle location in quiet neighborhood. Woke every morning to melodic birdsong in the surrounding trees. Well-equipped kitchen, delightful bungalow with personality. Short stroll to beach. Comfortable, clean, with just what we needed for our stay. Loved our time there. Great location.
