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: This is a beautiful home in the pacific beachfront. The home was pristine and well cared for. We spent many hours on the lanai enjoying cool breezes and enjoying the beautiful view. The house is about 20 minutes from the nearest town and tucked away from the main road. It is very easy easy to get to and from shopping and restaurants.
This house has it all. Location on one of the best strips of beach and reef around, great layout, all the amenities, and great communication from the property managers. We will be back for a third time soon!!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: The home was in a great location, very close to nice beaches. Home is well laid out and plenty of space for our family of four. The oven was not working and the property management brought over a air fryer/toaster oven that worked in it's place. Kitchen cabinets could use some TLC but other than those things it was as advertised and a great home. On the right side of the home it is on a path to the beach that sees alot of foot traffic so be advised if you were looking for privacy. There are nice restaurants a few miles away and a fish market if you want to cook. Just a great relaxing stay! Mahalo!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Makana Akua is a quiet, well maintained, comfortable home on the beach within walking distance of Tunnels. The house is exactly as it is represented in the photos. We loved the neighborhood and the overall location. Hawaii Life provided good service, and communication with our island host, Justin was great. We'll be back for longer next time. It would have been nice to have had portable loungers to set up on the lawn in that gorgeous, shady backyard. Thank you!
My wife and I stayed here for a week and absolutely loved the home and the location. The home has direct access to a beautiful sand beach. It’s about a half mile walk either on the beach or the road to tunnels for snorkeling. We visited in the middle of May, and the beach directly behind the house would not be a good swimming beach for children. It might be calmer in the summer but tunnels and Anini beach are better choices for kids. ( Anini beach has better parking than tunnels). Justin the manager was great with dealing with any issues we had. Overall the home and the general area is a great place to just relax and get away from the traffic and busyness of other parts of the island. It is about an hour drive to Lihue so you’ll need to plan any island activities accordingly.
My husband and I and our two kiddos, 8 & 10, loved our stay here! Short walk from Tunnels beach with amazing snorkeling. Be sure to check out Opakapaka restaurant for Greta fish tacos, also a short walk or drive.
We loved staying on the North Shore! Tunnels Beach is our absolute favorite place on earth! This home has an unbelievable view. We enjoyed breakfast on the lanai each morning overlooking paradise! I do think some things in the home could use a little refresh, ie. the master shower and kitchen cabinets, but that didn’t change what a wonderful stay we had. The oven wasn’t working either, but I was able to work around that with the stove and toaster available. Overall, I still give this home 5 stars because of the view, the location, the lanai, and layout of the home. The host was very responsive as well! Would love to stay again next time we visit the island.

The beachfront location is absolutely beautiful and the house was very comfortable and well-appointed. The kitchen was great for making all our meals at home. We loved the surrounding location in a quiet neighborhood and with such close proximity to stunning Tunnels Beach. The manager was very responsive and helpful. We are already planning our return.
It’s a great house , clean, beautiful and worth coming back to.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent a beautiful and relaxing week at this beautiful home on the North Shore. We came as a couple and spent a portion of the week with friends who also were wowed by the comfortable home and beautiful ocean view from the back deck. We enjoyed both going out to dinner in Hanalei, but ended up cooking and eating at home more than we have ever done on vacation, because it was so much fun to hang out at the house. While we were visiting the weather was perfect, but the ocean was rough (all over the North Shore), so we ended up exploring and swimming at safer spots. We plan to come back in spring or summer so that we can swim right outside the house.
The property was everything it was advertised to be and the property manager was very responsive to all of our needs.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Absolutely lovely, spacious, private property on the north shore of Kauai! Our family of four loved our stay. If we ever decide to build a beach home, this is the home we would build. The space is great. Tons of natural light. Direct access to a quiet beach. Close to the Nepali range and a. short drive from the cute town of Hanalei Bay. Can't imagine a better place to stay.
Excellent location if looking for solitude. Hiking, beach going and small town of Hanalei a 10 minute drive. Two nice master bedrooms and a beautiful functional covered deck on the ocean.
We had a wonderful time at this oceanfront paradise on the quiet north side. Would love to come back someday.
Everything was perfect! The home was very clean. The linens were very very nice quality! The beds were very comfortable. The AC in the bedrooms was Huge! Most wonderful - the lenai. The covered table area made it perfect 100% of the time. The Sonos sound system and smart TVs are great!!! We could take the small path to the beach anytime and enjoy essentially our own private beach and snorkeling area. Sheer wonderfulness. Quiet, clean and completely relaxing. We will be back!!! Thank you!!!
Our family had the vacation of a lifetime at Makana Akua. The home has all the comforts of home with spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean from almost every room in the house. While the beach is a little steep at this location, it was well protected from the high winds felt just 200 yards in either direction. The reef directly behind the house was filled with tropical fish and we spent hours snorkeling. This was the perfect home base for our Kalalau Trail and Queen’s Bath hikes, as well as trips to Hanalei. Our only complaint was that we didn’t book a longer trip!

The view is spectacular, we were so close to tunnels we could walk over if there wasn't any parking. Clean house and responsive crew.
