Traveling north past Hanalei, you enter the dense jungle and intense blue waters of Kauai's far north shore. There are no words that can describe nature's beauty in this region. Many beaches, including tunnels and ke'e, are in the area. Trail heads for some of the most memorable hikes on earth are nearby. The ocean view from the home is spectacular.

The Wainiha beach house brings you old style Hawaii in a jungle setting with a stream flowing in your back yard. Built in 1963 of Polynesian design, the house was the dream of Peggy Slater, known as the Amelia Earhart of sailing. Waterfalls, rainbows, crashing surf, fragrant flowers and exotic colorful birds will surround you. PLEASE NOTE: If you are sensitive to noise, the home is located on a slow driving section of Kuhio Highway which at certain times of the day you can hear the passing cars going over the one lane bridge. Home has high speed wireless internet, phone, cable tv, and full kitchen. Cell service is very spotty at the rental property.

BEACH ACCESS: The beach in front of house that you see in the pictures is NOT accessible. The closest public beach access is 1/4 mile drive either direction from house. Tunnels beach (one of the most scenic beaches in the world is 1/2 mile away.

Bedroom 1 has a King bed. Bedroom 2 has a King bed and Bedroom 3 has a Queen bed. There is A/C in the master bedroom.
PLEASE NOTE: The bedrooms in the home are railroad style meaning they run in a row. Keep this in mind as it is more suitable for those not requiring lots of privacy between the bedrooms.

    The location is unbelievable. We loved our stay here. Would like to see some modern updates and a bigger shower at this price point. ...But nothing can beat the beauty of the north shore of Kauai and that will always come with a premium for a stunning location. Still 5 stars because it's just so amazing.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Comfortable and clean. A few outpoints that detracted from a perfect experience. It's not really walking distance to the beach, even though it's essentially right across the street. The closest access point is a short drive away. A plus is that it's walking distance to an excellent coffee shop! The three bedrooms are linked, so you have to walk through the 1st to get to the 2nd, and you have to walk through the 1st & 2nd to get to the 3rd. Also, the pocket doors between rooms and between BR and bathrooms are very hard to operate. Be aware you're in a natural environment, so it's not unusual for a few bugs to go scampering about...I suggest keeping you suitcase closed. No instructions for how to operate anything, especially the TV.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had a good overall stay. House was comfortable and clean and had almost everything we needed. Only problem was lighting. House was so dark inside for me (I have bad eyesight) I had to buy a head lamp to do almost everything, including putting on makeup.

    House, beds, living room was very comfortable. View of the ocean from all rooms was very pleasant. Minutes close to beaches, Hanalei for eats and provisions and Napali. Ha'ena area is serene.

    Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was perfect for our trip. I occupied the first bedroom in the line and it was amazing to wake up to the sunrise each morning. The house is close to everything. Yes, there is noise from the road. However, there is also the sound of the ocean and the bullfrog that resides in the front yard. Once you get past the bumping from the bridge, the sounds of nature take over. The house gets a nice breeze if you open up all the windows. There are beach chairs- they are located at the back of the house by the washer and dryer. We did not have great luck with the washer while we were there. Hopefully it’s fixed now. Otherwise, great stay!

The beautiful wood and long hallway with the large windows was ideal for have coffee in the morning and l loved feeling the breeze sweep through the house. We had a great time here and although it was me and my husband, this house would be perfect for a larger family to share as well.

    Perfect Hawaiian getaway. The house was so unique and classic Hawaiian feel. Excellent location. Didn’t ever want to leave. Being able to walk to the general store and coffee shop was so fun.

    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.
