Hawaii Life - A/C and Steps to the Beach

This was such a nice rental. The views from the wrap-around porch were amazing and so relaxing to listen to the waves. Access to the beach is really close and the amenities inside the house were exactly what you’d need for a short stay. The only downside were the beach chairs-which were either left by other guests or provided by the host. They were functional enough, but really need to be replaced. Other than that, which is so minor in the grand scheme of things, the house was immaculate and probably one of the nicest beach houses we’ve ever stayed in.

The property is as beautiful as advertised with just a short walk to the beach. Very enjoyable stay.

The photos do not do this home justice. Fantastically clean, updated and tastefully designed. Mountain views, ocean views, easy walk to the beach down a short, dedicated path. Stocked with towels, beach towels, soap, laundry soap, dish soap and all essentials for the kitchen (spices, oils, vinegars, etc.) The grill is a nice Weber with direct gas and is cleaner than ours at home by a mile. The Colony Resort is an easy 3-minute walk — coffee in the morning an a stop on the shuttle pick-up for the Kalalau Trail. A dozen remarkable beaches within a 15-minute drive (and a few accessible via short walks.) A great general store with attached coffee shop nearby (The Haven.) And it’s just 15 minutes from Hanalei, which is delightful. A Jeep or other SUV or truck is recommended — the roads are a load of fun (and harrowing for some). All in all, a dream property.

Extremely clean and well appointed property. Everything was very well organised by the cleaners & owners. All appliances functioned perfectly. Would happily stay again.

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 just completed a wonderful 2-week stay over the holidays. The house was perfect for 2 families and it had so many wonderful amenities (A/C, renovated bathrooms, kitchen and common areas, lots of kitchen gadgets). Most of all, the close proximity to one of the best beaches on north shore Kauai! Beautiful clear waters, views of Napali in the background and NO CROWDS! This our 2nd time near Haena but first in this house, and we will absolutely return sometime soon! Mahalo for helping us create such a memorable vacation!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Haena Kai was stunning and so was the location. It’s a short walk to an uncrowded beach with swimming, snorkeling, and beautiful views (please note this is not a lifeguarded beach and there are coral reefs not far from shore in shallow water. It’s not for inexperienced ocean swimmers, although there are lifeguarded beaches close by). It’s so relaxing you won’t want to leave the area. The house and its furnishings are beautiful, and Lulu was so hospitable. This is truly a special place.

This was our 2nd time staying at this property and it was just as amazing as the first! The home is immaculate and spacious with breathtaking views of the ocean and mountains. What we loved most was that this home was fully stocked with everything that we would need for cooking meals and spending time at the beach. The nearby beaches are excellent for snorkeling, where we were able to swim with turtles and the most beautiful fish! We will continue to stay at this same home when we visit in the future. Overall an amazing experience with great memories being made.

The location couldn’t have been better. We walked to the beach and the family snorkeled, beach-combed, and just plain relaxed. We hope to someday go back. Mahalo!

This place felt like home. Wonderful kitchen and great view to drink morning coffee looking at the pacific. 45-60 second walk to the beach and easy drive to all the north shore beaches. This location is remote from everywhere except Hanalei…which for us was perfect. 10/10 would stay here again

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home is even more beautiful in person—it exceeded our expectations, and we’re picky! Not shown in the photos is a spacious wrap-around deck with ocean or mountain views from every angle—complete with a BBQ, large dining table, chairs, and chaise lounges. We stopped at Costco on our way for provisions and prepared several delicious meals in the well-appointed, upscale kitchen. The blender was missing, but the host, Lu, graciously dropped off a new one the same day so we could enjoy our piña coladas!The short walking path from the driveway to the quiet, pristine beach is incredible—and it’s just a 2-mile round-trip walk to the famed Tunnels Beach (shown in the rainbow photo), which is absolutely gorgeous. If you go to Hāʻena State Park (which we highly recommend), the shuttle—by request—stops next door at the Colony Resort. Super convenient! Our kids walked to the Opakapaka restaurant there and said it had a great vibe.I hope to make it back here someday. What a beautiful home and quiet location—truly first-class. Everyone loved it and felt indulged. It was a fantastic vacation for us.

Barely one minute walk to the beach. House was spotless and fully stocked. Property manager was available to answer all questions and even came over to replace batteries for a fan remote control. Totally worth the price!

We loved it here for our family. We had everything we needed at night and enjoyed the beaches and views during the day!

We had a phenomenal stay in the most picturesque location. Great house, comfortable and relaxing and well appointed. Lots of extras like beach towels, chairs and cooler. Only consideration (nothing the fault of the property) would be to consider driving time and location of island activities as you are quite remote. We would all love to come back.

Amazing home. Very secluded and private. Great beach access without too many people.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is wonderful. It was exceptionally clean and all essential supplies were included. The beach is beautiful and easy to get to. I do have one complaint and I hope you will view this as constructive criticism. This is not a beachfront or oceanfront property as advertised. The image under the location tab indicates the house across the street, which is beachside. It was difficult to find the house after we realized that the house location was not identified correctly on your web site. The house number cannot be seen at night as there are no street lights and the house is recessed and surrounded by shrubbery. The cell service in the area is poor and we could not access google maps. I feel you would be doing potential guests and your company a service if you changed the satellite image on the location tab, clarified what you mean by 30 steps from the beach and did not advertise this as an ocean front property.

I love large deck around all house where we had morning coffee or dinner. Kitchen has everything what we needed. Just two minutes to walk to the beach. Very good quiet neighborhood. My master bed was very comfortable and my bedroom had separate doors to go outside or to deck. Manager was very easy to communicate with. Definitely we will come back.

The house is great, location is perfect with small children and family. Beach is just a minute to walk. Great view through all windows. I love patio, you can see ocean from your patio. Bed was comfortable. Large living room with kitchen. We would like to come back
