This is a Classic Hawaiiana home. Yes there is traffic but when everyone goes home for the day you hear the sound of the waves. We felt quite at home here.

My family of 5 had a wonderful stay at this location in Wainiha and it actually exceeded my expectations. Past reviews mentioned that the rooms were arranged railroad style and this is true but we did not find this an inconvenience. We loved the feel and history of the house and it was nice to be close to the store for any items we needed to quickly pick up. Hope to return someday! Mahalo!

Pros: super awesome beach house vibe and decor! This place had everything we needed for a fun and relaxing North Shore stay.
Cons: the railroad style layout. I don't recall this in the listing when we booked, so we were surprised when we arrived. Just a bit awkward when you're staying with your kiddo and in-laws and can literally hear what's going on in the bathroom and room next door all through the night. And the road/bridge crossing is louder than expected especially if you're a light sleeper (noise cancellation app works wonders though!)

My husband and I shared the Master bedroom. Our 2 adult sons shared the other bathroom and each had a bedroom. We ALL loved the home, beds, and location. If you are concerned about privacy and a gourmet kitchen- this place probably wouldn't delight you like it did us. Conversely if you want to feel surrounded by jungle, have an awesome view, be a bit removed from people, and can manage just fine with a bare bones kitchen (I didn't come to cook, I came to snorkle) this place is worth the stay. I had been concerned that it might be a bit shabby or weird- but it was absolutely perfect for us.

It was super fun for the week we stayed. Even with the rain and electricity going out from bad weather.

This property was perfect for our group!
We enjoyed the vintage vibe and decor. We appreciated the books, games, nice dishes. It was fun to cook together and play games after a day exploring. The beds are super comfy, the landscaping is pretty, and the sound of rhe ocean while we slept was very nice! Bit of noise from the bridge, but we didn't mind. Everything we needed was there. I am very happy that we found this property for our Kaui visit. Mahalo!

This is a great property! Like a prior guest said: it's like staying at a friend's old beach house. We always appreciate being off the beaten path. The cross breeze kept the house wonderfully cool and the beds were so comfortable. Wi-fi worked perfectly. The nearby market had many goodies and the smoothies were yummy. We are pretty laid back and were not bothered by the bridge traffic, frequent rooster crowing and sticky pocket doors. Most of the time there was only the blissful sound of the ocean. Three suggestions for improvement: please add table seating for 6. We do not eat on our living room furniture at home but had no choice if we wanted to eat "together". Please replace the bath towels. They smell terrible when used. A front covered area would be so lovely. The picnic bench was nice but too sunny most of the day. Mahalo!

The house was beautiful had lots of character
The beds were super comfy with beautiful linens
The location was nice being able to see the ocean across the street. The big windows were really a plus. A lot of great beach toys for the kiddies
The kitchen had the basics but was missing a peeler which I needed often. And the knives were pretty dual.
There is a cute market walking distance down the road with lots of goodies that was really nice and convenient. This property is located very north on the island which I love because it feels secluded and jungle like, beautiful views of the mountains and very close to one of my favorite beaches (tunnels) about 5 miles north-parking fulls up fast so go early! Or later in the day
There is a list of things they would like you to do before you leave more than I’m used to seeing. Which included-
Wash and dry towels
Strip the beds
Wash dishes- which i think is pretty standard
Overall the good definitely outweighs the bad this is just my very honest option and things I think renters should know.
I think the price is fare comparing it to other stays on the island.
Mahalo!

It’s nice good floor plan. Nice location although we though we could not walk right to the beach like we thought from advertising. The master bed was great. Love all the windows. Only draw back was a musky smell (we finally got used to it) and the doors on the master bedroom didn’t close correctly and were very loud when trying to open. I’d stay here again.

We had a lovely time here, the house is so unique and special. It has its quirks but the location is ideal if you love the north part of the island, and the vibe of the house is really great. The outdoor shower was a real treat. I would definitely stay here again.

It was definitely a nice place to stay. It is a little bit out of town which can be a pain when having some drinks in the bay, but that was explained to us beforehand. The only bummer was we could not find/get to the beach in front of the property. We tried to access it to the East, but was told that we were not allowed, and the next closest beach could only be accessed via a car. Worth the stay, can't complain!

Great experience. Property was exactly as described. Across the street from the water. Home was clean and had everything we needed. Great communication from property owner. Would definitely stay here again.

Amazing house with nice size yard, washer & dryer, view of ocean banana trees on property. If you’re lucky they will be ripe & ready to eat. Little market 2 houses away with smoothie shop next door. Close to Hanea. About 10 -15 min drive to Hanalei town. Beach chairs, ice chests, umbrellas & towels for trips to beach. Picnic table out front for outdoor eating. Windows open wide to allow ocean breezes to cool house & ventilate. Highly recommend this house.

This property is a typical beach house. A little tired, not really cared for... but the location makes up for all that. The pictures on the listing make the inside of the house feel fresh... which it is not. Despite the kitchen being lackluster (not enough pans for cooking... missing utensils... not enough cups), the beach items (toys, towels, chairs) were on point. And did I mention the location? You can't beat it. Overall, I would stay again... now knowing what to expect, which isn't much in the area of comfort.

This place is an old fashioned Kauai dream! Real wood floors, huge windows that let the breeze through, and a peaceful gorgeous yard overlooking the river and ocean. We felt so relaxed here, it was hard to go home!

Nice place. Quiet, reasonably private.clean and well equipped. Felt like home right away. Location on the north coast is awesome. We never met the manager; but then there was no need to…

The home was clean and well equipped. Our greatest challenge was navigating the transportation to get to Wainiha as the area is quite remote (which is what we wanted) and the mudslide occurred a few months back limiting road access. Other than that - we had a great experience living alongside locals and experiencing the beauty of Kauai.
