Traditional Hawaiian House - Walk to Tunnels Beach

This was our 3rd time in this stunning home. We fell in love with it at first sight- the backyard view before we even entered the home. The view is magical. The home is serene, peaceful, comfortable, and soothing. Zen-like design, warm colors, uncluttered. High quality bedding, furnishings, and other amenities. Rain or shine we adored the lanai. The hosts are kind, responsive, friendly, caring, and welcoming. While the photos are great, the actual visuals inside and outside are magnificent. Highly recommend.

Charlie and Lydia’s house is magnificent and their hosting efforts sublime - the photos do not do it justice. First, the house is a timberframe with a private back yard and huge lanai perfect for relaxation. The house is wood, marble and stone with gorgeous touches … a huge comfy couch in front of a big screen TV/Wifi, every coffee lovers dream with countless options for coffee making, first rate mattresses and linens, and bathrooms that are a pleasure to shower in! Even more, however, was that when we discovered a really minor issue — the beach umbrella was broken — later that day, their property manager (who we never met), Lana, left a perfect replacement on our doorstep. Thank you, Lydia, for sharing you little slice of heaven with us. There is nothing that I can suggest — the house, its location and the touches arranged by Lana are just perfect.

The property is beautiful and the house was very comfortable.

Excellent

The property and location are perfect. We wanted a quiet, peaceful vacation and that is exactly what we got. The beauty of this property is difficult to put into words. We spent so much time on the lanai just in awe of the beauty. We walked to the beach each day and it was so nice to have chairs, umbrellas, and anything else you can think of! I can only hope we have the opportunity to return one day. I never wanted to leave!

The host was especially generous and cooperative with our plans. He went out of his way to work with me and VRBO to get the booking done after technical issues created some barriers. The home is a very nice and quaint set up with everything you need, especially AC. There were plenty of towels!We didn’t walk to the beach nearby because most of our plans were on other parts of the island. The location is fine but for us, it wasn’t ideal since our plans took us back to other parts of the island. So my one recommendation is to be aware of the travel time if you plan on island wide activities. One lovely benefit of the location is how dark it is and the wondrous amount of stars you can see with the naked eye. Amazing! The only disappointment was not seeing any of the animals that are typically on the neighboring property. Overall, wonderful host and home that I would highly recommend.

We’ve stayed here a few times now, and it’s always magical.

What a lovely stay! The house is beautiful, comfortable, and deeply peaceful, and we love Haena. We could have stayed forever. So appreciate having such a soulful place to stay!

This was our second stay at the home. The environment is serene and peaceful inside and out. The backyard view is the big prize. Trust the photos. If anything they don’t fully capture the magic. The host is amazing. Very responsive and helpful. The kitchen is well equipped. Beds comfortable. Love the house design and soothing color scheme. Enjoyed walking to Tunnels Beach. Also enjoyed the Na Pali Coast hike, the sunset at Ke’e Beach, and exploring Secret Beach. The north side in general is visually stunning. Highly recommend.

The property is even prettier in person than in the photos. Very quiet and very clean as well. The house had everything we needed for our stay. We road the bikes provided to the park and followed the walking map to Tunnels Beach. The outdoor shower and bath were great too. Thank you for the pleasure of staying at your beautiful property.

This place was absolute paradise!! It was clean, well stocked, and the back lanai was amazing! We saw the cows and donkeys daily, enjoyed both the sun and rain while relaxing. The deck bathtub is an amazing feature! We will be back for sure! The towns of Wainiha and Hanalei Bay are easy to get to, this location is perfection!

We stayed here to celebrate our anniversary and it was an amazing experience! The house has wonderful charm and is well taken care of. Charles was a great communicator and provides useful info for visitors.

Well-appointed little house, short walk to the beach

We love the functional kitchen and the a/c’s are really helpful on hot nights
