Hale Haena

“The location was perfectly peaceful and just far enough away from the crowds of Hanalei but still close enough for a night out. … We rarely saw anyone else on the beach.”

Hawaii Life Presents Hale Haena - Your private oasis on the stunning North Shore of Kauai. Take in awe-inspiring mountain and peekaboo ocean views, and follow a short private path less than 100 steps to one of the most beautiful beaches on Kauai. Surrounded by lush tropical plants (including citrus, avocado, papaya, and noni trees), this home offers guests privacy and peace, completed by the sound of the ocean. Here you will find everything you need for the Kauai getaway of your dreams. Private and secluded, yet only 12 minutes away from the restaurants and shops of Hanalei and steps away from Hanalei Day Spa, Napali Art Gallery and Coffee Shop, and Gaia Restaurant.

As you step into this home, you will be immediately welcomed by abundant natural light and a lovely, open floor plan which allows Kauai’s cooling trade winds to easily move between spaces. Contemporary decor and a calming color palette will offer you the vacation vibes you have been waiting for. The large, vaulted ceiling living room features comfortable furniture and access to two covered lanais, offering lounge furniture and a dining area, to enjoy your morning coffee or afternoon cocktail. The chef of your group will love the spacious kitchen offering ample counter space, modern appliances, lush views, and everything you need to prepare an island-style meal at home! Amenities include a gas burner stove and oven, microwave, toaster, dishwasher, and outdoor propane grill.

Three ensuite bedrooms offer a king, king, and two twin beds. Each room has a split a/c unit for those rare occasions when the sea breezes are not enough. Enjoy a shower or soak in your lovely ensuite, decorated with earth tone tiles that make you feel connected to nature. *Please note: the Jacuzzi tub in the downstairs bathroom has jets that are unable to be fixed.* For the full experience, try your private outdoor shower after a day at the beach! There is so much to do from this location – hike and explore the tropical beauty of the Na Pali coast and Ke'e Beach or visit Tunnels (Makua) Beach for world-class swimming, snorkeling, and breathtaking views of Makana Mountains.

The house was perfect! It had everything we needed for a fun trip near Tunnels Beach. Every room was very clean, and the kitchen was well equipped. The front patio was my favorite feature of the house. That view never gets old.

Yes beautiful kitchen with spices and oils and everything you need for cooking. We didn’t shop at any stores nearby. Stopped at Costco on our way

Great communication before our trip — and such a gorgeous home that’s well stocked all around. The view from the front lanai never gets old. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Just know that you are driving down a windy, secluded part of the island.

Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time at this house!!! The private beach was outstanding and a short walk to some great snorkeling....a bit farther for some outstanding snorkeling at Tunnels. Comfortable rooms, AC worked perfectly, kitchen was well stocked...a small market 5 minutes away and a larger grocery store just 15 minutes up the road. If you're looking to get away from the crowds and enjoy time with family and friends, this is the place!!! We will very likely stay here again!

We saw a rainbow from the back balcony. It was beautiful. The beds were so good that I’m getting a new bed at home. The pillows are the best too. This house has everything you need. The outside shower came in handy. Thank you for letting us stay! The Woods family

We had a great stay. The house was private w/easy beach access & a nearby restaurant. Our favorite part of the house is the screened in patio.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay at the Hale Haena home on Kauai! The location was perfectly peaceful and just far enough away from the crowds of Hanalei but still close enough for a night out. Easy access to the beach with everything we could need. We rarely saw anyone else on the beach. The house was comfortable and perfectly clean. The only slightly negative comment is that it took us a long time to find the washer/dryer on the porch! due to the humidity outside and it being a front-load, the washer did have a little musty smell but we had no issues when using it.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great rental. This part of the island is our favorite and most beautiful.Really enjoyed having air conditioning available in the bedrooms. Short walk to the beach. Plenty of nice beach chairs. Note that there is a car that may be parked in the driveway - this is the owner's car that remains there. We were afraid we were at the wrong house upon arrival at dark.Did not cook, but had everything one would need.Being on the north shore, there are periodic power outages, but power restored quickly. Internet was great. Could stream television while kids also streamed/used iPads/computers.

Note: the availability calendar is approximate. Check your dates on the reservation site.
