Live the ultimate Kauai experience in this luxe and spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath airy tropical house.

Designed from the ground up as the ultimate tropical vacation home, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home in the idyllic community of Haena, pampers you with the soothing sounds of the surf, five-star amenities and some of the most awe-inspiring views along the North Shore of Kauai.

Spread across a generous 2,600 square feet, this home’s ideal location puts visitors within easy reach of beaches revered internationally by surfers, swimmers and sailors. Not only is it a leisurely two-minute walk to the nearest waves, but it’s also just down the road from the world-famous Tunnels Beach, Kauai’s snorkeling nirvana. Venture further to experience the dramatic beauty of the Na Pali Coast, or just look out your windows at waterfalls trickling down Mount Makana.

You’ll have more than 800 square feet of covered, luxuriously furnished lanai (what some call a porch) surrounding the house, tempting you outdoors at all hours. Settle in to a deeply padded wicker chair to sip Kona coffee at sunrise, sip a lilikoi fruit smoothie in the afternoon or grill the catch of the day as the skies turn golden during the latest sunset in the United States.

Inside, the home’s open floor plan brings mountain and garden views into the combined kitchen, living and dining area, where you’ll routinely gather to recount the day’s adventures. On the breakfast bar, find a gift basket of local artisan chocolate, Hawaiian spices and discount coupons that will ease your introduction to favorite Kauai treats and adventures—ice cream, bike rentals and a catered dinner. If you need more ideas, leaf through our book of suggestions for hiking, dining and sightseeing, or borrow our beach gear for a day of sunny recreation.

Throughout the house, strategically located windows open to the cooling ocean breezes and bring a light, airy atmosphere to every room. Spacious bedrooms on opposite wings provide ample privacy for groups of couples, friends or families of up to six people. The 12-foot cathedral ceilings and multiple seating areas add to the sense of space.

You’ll immerse in a distinct island experience here. Original island artwork—paintings, carvings, sculpture—captures the tropical beauty. Furnishings are high quality, but casual enough for shorts and flip-flops. You can even bathe under balmy tropical breezes in the enclosed, hot-water outdoor shower.

Each bedroom is arranged for comfort and convenience. The master suite has a king bed, walk-in closet, dressing area, adjoining bathroom and access to a lanai. From the front guest room’s queen bed and lanai, you can gaze at the every-shade-of-green terrain. The second guest bedroom also has access to a lanai and offers cozy quiet and two twin beds that can convert to a king.

In no time, you’ll be living like a local, stocking up on impossibly fresh sushi and shopping the farmers markets for exotic fruits and vegetables that you whip into smoothies and cocktails. With a kitchen outfitted for the most discerning chefs, you’ll be turning out quick meals on the barbecue gas grill with ease. You won’t lack for indoor entertainment with a 42-inch flat-screen television with surround sound, a DVD player and high-speed Wi-Fi.

In anticipation of our guests’ every need, the electronic front door locks require no keys to pick up, share or return. The kitchen is fully stocked. The laundry room features an over-sized washer, dryer and large pantry.

If you feel like you’re in a movie set, that’s because you are. Views through the sliding glass doors frame Makana Mountain, which stood in for Bali Hai in the classic movie, “South Pacific.” Nearby, George Clooney filmed scenes for “The Descendants.” In such pleasant surroundings, you can’t help but feel like a star.

Amazing property
The photos don’t do it justice. Open and airy with comfy lanai seating out facing mountains or in back listening to surf. So well equipped- there was nothing this house didn’t have. Really impressed with rental agency as well. They hooked us up with concierge service to help cater a family anniversary celebration. Walking to the beach each morning was another plus. I don’t hesitate one moment in booking this place if you are looking for relaxation and beauty a bit off the main tourist path.

An absolutely wonderful house in tropical location. The house is well stocked with everything you would need. They’ve thought of everything with all the little extras. The views of the mountains are breathtaking. The beach is a short walk / drive away. Tunnels Beach is amazing with fantastic snorkeling on the reef. This house is a little remote which we loved. Town is a short drive away with shops and restaurants. If we’re ever lucky enough to return to Kauai, we would definitely stay here again.

Tranquility on North Shore
We loved the location of this house. We went back and forth from lanai to lanai because the views were so splendid from both. You’ll love the mountain views in the mornings as the light comes up on them. We took the short path to the beach each day. Easy walk to Tunnels Beach as well (15 min walk). The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. So much living space indoors and out! The beach chairs came in very handy as did the outdoor shower for rinsing off sand. We shall definitely return. Property Management was very communicative and made sure we had all details before and during. Much appreciated. If you are considering this property, please review where Haena is on the map. It’s extra convenient for the most beautiful beach on the island as well as hiking the Kalalau trail but you’ll be driving a lot if you intend to go to Canyon or boat tours from this side of island. We stayed on both sides so we could do it all without driving all the time. Mahalo for sharing your beautiful home.

Exceptional House in Haena
The home was well kept, clean, and breezy. Fantastic swimming spots just a short walk away. Loved the outdoor shower, the comfortable beds, the quiet nights, and the kitchen/BBQ was more than adequate for cooking at home each night. Don't miss the Dolphin Fish Market in Hanalei and the local farmers' markets.

Perfect Kauai getaway on the North Shore
If your looking to stay on the greener/tropical side of the island, look no further! Spectacular views of the mountains, with a quick short, cute walk to the beach with the BEST sunsets. House has everything you need and more. Floor fans were much appreciated to help move the air through the house when there was no wind. Outdoor shower was amazing and perfect to rinse the sand, shoes and toys. The decks were spacious and provided lot of opportunities for making memories during family game nights. Little details like beach chairs, sand toys, beach towels, bug spray, etc. did not go unnoticed. Hanalei is a 15 minute drive into town and has some great food and yummy shaved ice. Thank you for a wonderful stay and for helping this first time Kauai family fall in love with your beautiful island!!

Perfect Get Away
We loved staying in the Haena house on the North end. The house had everything we needed for our time together as a family. We loved having coffee on the lanai and viewing the mountains. Our favorite beach (Tunnels) was close by. We discovered the beautiful gardens to visit down the road and local market. Hana lei was a short drive for restaurants and shops. Perfect get away!

Beautiful stay in the best part of the island!
We absolutely love it here. It is our 4th time staying in the neighborhood and we will be returning. The views from every window of the house were amazing. A few minute walk down small path leads the beach for a quick sunset or a 15 minute or so walk to Tunnels. The house was perfect for two couples and we had everything we needed. Just wish we had stayed longer!

Great week at Haena Sunrise
The home was as described and provided an excellent base for our stay on Kauai. The kids enjoyed exploring the tidal pools on the beach and petting the horse grazing next door. A couple of warnings however. This house is literally 2 miles from the end of the road on the north shore. 15 minutes to Hanilei and over an hour to Lihue. 2.5 hours to Waimea canyon. Also the beach here is interesting and fun but not really for swimming. Lastly the neighbors between the house and the road held a noisy outdoor party Friday night that lasted until 3 AM. Regardless we are glad we stayed here and had a great time.

Loved our stay
The house was a perfect size for a larger group, we never once felt overcrowded. The location was a bit far from the activities we had planned (hiking Waimea) but overall we loved it because it brought us to the north side of the island which we would not have explored otherwise. Covid definitely restricted a few plans, but it was easy to adapt to other options with the wide variety available close to home. The walkable beach was amazing! We brought our morning coffee down there everyday and we’re lucky enough to see some beautiful rainbows as well. All basic necessary amenities were provided, including beach gear which is always a great addition. Overall, great experience and we’d definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay at Haena Sunrise. The place has a great view of the mountains. We enjoyed our mornings out on the lanai. Tunnels beach is a short walk away.

Wonderful Welcome Back to Haena!
I love this house. I will always return to this wonderful, comfortable, inviting home. It is beautifully furnished, both inside and out, and has all of the amenties any traveler can wish. It easily accommodates up to 6 guests, and is as comfortable for entertaining as it is when returning from a long day of sightseeing. There are two comfortable lanais, so there are always breezes surrounding this home. I look forward to being here next year! Mahalo.

Wonderfully comfortable home, lot location not the best.
We enjoyed our stay here overall. The location is great if you want to experience the more laid back north side of Kauai. The home is very comfortable and clean and the owners seem quite attentive. My only disenchantment centers on the lot location. The view proved disappointing versus my expectations from the photos. The lot is set back from a busy road. The lot in front was under construction and not attractive. Also, concerning for future renters is what might be built there. And the home on the side looked like a car lot and I am sure is disappointing to the owners. These location issues kept me from giving the home a higher rating.

The Island is really beautiful
The Island and all it's beautiful beaches and areas to hike and Kayak are really first class, though you do need to be reasonably fit but they are described appropriately so easy to make a decision whether you are able to achieve them. The accommodation was absolutely fabulous every little detail was thought off. Location perfect very private with amazing views on the North of the Island. Only one negative the land next to the house became a camping car park we appreciated it was for a worthy cause but floodlights and a noisey generator going on over a long weekend did somewhat spoil the family party we had planned, had we been advised we would have rearranged for another evening. When we did ask if the floodlights could at least be pointed away from our bedroom they did comply as well as turning off the very noisey generator at a reasonable time. The point was I paid for privacy and quiet so that is what j should have had for the full 2 weeks. That said I could not fault the accommodation and the facilities provided.

Awesome house, awesome times!
Spent a week on the North Shore with friends, and we had an amazing time! This house was great! Shared it with another couple, so we actually had an empty room, since this is a 3-bedroom. Our friends were in two other houses a little further west. One was quite nice and closer to tunnels, but slightly more expensive. The other was a shared deal with other tenants downstairs, which our friends were not made aware of ahead of time, and with the amount they paid, they were very dissatisfied. We feel we got a decent deal with our house. The house was awesome! Very spacious and airy! The huge living area is very bright and opens to a separate lanai on either side. Great mountain views to the South, not much to the North. The house is up on stilts, as many in this area, which gives a great view. Our friends had a sliver of an ocean view from their house, which was kinda cool. They were more or less walking distance to tunnels. Their furnishings were also more modern. The furnishings in this house are not modern, probably from the late 90's, but very decent and very clean. If that's my biggest complaint, you know it's a pretty sweet deal! Oh, I forgot: the subwoofer was dead :( Everything else, the dishwasher, washer and dryer, beach and snorkel grear, were all great to have. The house is nicely secluded, we didn't have almost any interaction with neighbors. There is a beach path on the next lot over, but the beach here is lava, not really swimmable. Need to walk a good few minutes north to find the sandy beaches. Or better yet, go to Tunnels, or even better yet, Ke'e, especially for snorkeling. However, it's best to drive. We drove pretty much everywhere, though walking is doable as well if you're up for long walks. Pro tip: don't miss Hanakapiai falls! If you're up for a serious hike... Kauai North Shore was probably my favorite place in Hawaii, and I've been pretty much everywhere by now. I recommend Kauai, and recommend this house!
