Magical Kauai Cottage on North Shore TV5131 NCU

We loved everything about this sweet little house! It was immaculately clean and impeccably decorated. It was fully furnished with everything you could need for the beach and food prep. There is a

We had a wonderful stay at Hale Huna! It was the perfect back drop for our trip- clean, quiet, well appointed and well decorated. We loved it!

What a dream come true! Photos do not do this property justice. Eating breakfast in the gorgeous garden surrounded by lush junglemountain views was a highlight of the trip. The house is perfectly situated between gorgeous beaches and lots to do while feeling like a private retreat. Kristi was an incredible host attentive to all our needs. We would absolutely book again.

Great location. Beautiful , located on the north shore . Would highly recommend if you want an authentic stay in Kauai .

Cozy cottage, fantastic location, excellent communication with host. Enjoyed cooking several meals there, and eating on the patio surrounded by lush greenery and view of the NaPali mountains. Would definitely go back. As expected, some geckos visited us indoors; they were harmless and cute.

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. Although close to everything we felt secluded. We ventured around the island some, but always found ourselves wanting to head back to the north. Hanalei is a fun little town that didn't get to crazy busy. The food options are plenty in town ranging in price. Our favorite restaurant was Happy Talk in Princeville. The views and vibe were incredible. Tunnels and Hideaway were our favorite beaches. We saw 10-15 turtles per day in the water, which the kids really loved. When facing water the far right of the beach was best. The hike down to hideaway is a bit sketchy, so dont bring to much gear. We did try deep sea fishing and caught a 130lb tuna, and another 8 smaller ones. The captain gave us one of the smaller ones and enjoyed it for several days in the house. The ocean was rough, and if you are prone to motion sickness medication is a must. We also went zip lining and had a good time. Highly recommend hiking the Kalalau trail. Beautiful hike down the coast. We found it a little strenuous, but not to bad. You must get your permit exactly 30 days before, or you will not get a permit. I had to try a couple days to get one. The birds in the early morning at the house are like a symphony. The only problem I have was the rooster down the hill at 4:00am! (haha). Overall a great experience and we really love the northern part of the island. Correspondence with the host was prompt and helpful. The Balkins, MN

This was our second visit to Kauai and our first time staying on the North Coast of the island. The house was very comfortable and easy to locate. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals. We enjoyed eating breakfast on the lanai out back. You have a great view of the mountains and there are several spider lilies planted around the outdoor dining area, so the frangrance was great. The bedrooms were comfortable and the bathrooms were well stocked with soft towels, liquid soap and shampoo. The washer and dryer worked well. There were multiple beach towels, snorkeling gear and an outdoor shower, which was great after spending a day on the beach to wash the sand and salt off. The grounds around the house were well tended and there are trees with bananas, grapefruit and limes on the property. I had fresh grapefruit with my breakfast twice. The key lockbox was easy to use and there was a spare key inside to take with you when you left the house. The house is about a 185 minute drive to Hanalei's shops and stores. The was a small market at the bottom of the hill below the house but they had a very limited offering of supplies like ice and drinks. If you're headed to the house, I would suggest stopping at the Food Land store in Princeville to stock up on groceries. They also have a great selection of fresh poke, sushi and deli items. Parking was never an issue. The property manager and owner were both great at following up on any questions we had during our stay.

This home was amazing. We will be staying here again.

The house was pristine! The yard was beautifully kept! Such a magical place!

The communications with the host were informative, friendly and timely. The house was well-stocked, especially the kitchen, which had every appliance and tool imaginable, enabling my son, who has culinary training, to prepare a wonderful dinner. And we loved the location among the tropical beauty!

I absolutely loved my time at this beautiful home. It’s nestled in such a peaceful neighborhood, surrounded by nature and a sense of calm. The house itself has been decorated with so much love and attention to detail that you’ll feel immediately at home.This truly has become one of my favorite places to stay on the island. I’d return in a heartbeat and can wholeheartedly recommend this special spot to anyone looking for a grounded, nourishing place to stay on Kauai.

House was spotless, in a beautiful location, and very peaceful. Exactly what we were hoping for.

We absolutely loved our stay Kristi’s home on Kauai. The location was fantastic, tucked near Hanalei on arguably the most beautiful side of the island. Short distance to fantastic beaches and activities. The home itself was clean, had privacy, and all the amenities you’d expect or need for a vacation away.

This is the perfect private cottage on Kauai. This was my second time staying here because of its location on the North Shore. Close to Hanalei, Hā’ena State Park, and North Shore beaches. Quick response to any questions you may have. Thank you for another amazing vacation!

Wonderful home for our stay! Check in was easy, amenities were plentiful and the location was fantastic for us!

Communication with Kristi prior to and the days before our trip was clear and precise. Kristi even checked in on us during a Tsunami advisory, making sure we were aware and knew where to go which I thought was nice. For the house, it was beautiful, pictures online don’t do it justice. The decor and art work were beautiful. The place had everything we needed. The outdoor space was nice and appreciated the outdoor shower area and sink, made rinsing off from those beach days easier. I included just some of the flowers on the property and some of the visitors we had.

We loved everything about this house. The location is the best, close to Tunnels beach which is our favorite. We enjoyed the house, the kitchen has everything, just like home. Quiet neighborhood, quick drive to Hanalei. We would love to return here soon!

We had a fabulous stay. The space was welcoming and just what I had envisioned for our first trip to Kauai. Absolutely loved this VRBO experience.

Beautiful, well-appointed, and in a beautiful tropical setting. We loved our stay.

We were absolutely in love with this home. We stayed for a week in April. Very quiet neighborhood, walking distance to a small market and a coffee shop, not walking distance to any beaches but a short drive from Tunnels beach and probably 15 minutes from Hanalei. The owner provided so many recommendations. The whole stay was a dream.

The property, the owner , and the manager were all wonderful. The cottage was amazing and comfortable. However I lost two nights sleep due to a barking pack of dogs. They were down slope and the noise traveled up to us. The property manager was quick to get back to us and the noise was reduced for the rest of the stay.

We were incredibly impressed with the cottage from the moment we walked in the door. It was bright, beautifully decorated, sparkling clean and perfectly outfitted. We cooked almost all of our meals at the house and everything was thought of. All of the rooms were so comfortable and our kids loved that they got their own room. The cottage is nestled in one of the gorgeously green little valleys, only minutes from the beach, and you can walk down to the market for all kinds of goodies (plenty of staples and local steaks). The kids had a blast picking fruit from the yard! The yard itself was so lush and well kept. It was absolutely perfect. A huge thank you to our hosts for being so flexible and very easy to communicate with. We would love to stay again in the future.

One can’t go wrong with this rental. Beautiful property, fruit-laden grapefruit trees, clean, spacious, and loaded with all the extras: good cookware, some beach gear, cozy.Highly recommend
