This entirely renovated private oceanfront retreat on the North Shore of Kauai in Wainiha on the edge of Hanalei is perfect for short- or long-term getaways for family or friends seeking luxurious accommodations with breathtaking views. Discover the relaxing elegance of Kauai, where hectic modern life is a remote memory and tropical splendor is your reality for a day, week or month at a time.
The Vacation Home: Newly renovated on the stunning blue Pacific Ocean, Kauai Paradise House is a truly unique oceanfront and riverfront property featuring its own private beach, oceanfront views, 3 king-bed suites (the third of which can be converted to 2 twin beds if desired), gourmet kitchen, travertine tile floors, 3 marble bathrooms, great room with entertainment center, covered lanai, lush backyard, and private deck and dock.
This sophisticated home with a resort feel boasts thoughtful touches throughout, including Tommy Bahama furniture, luxury linens, dual master suites with king-size beds and walk-in showers, new gourmet kitchen with top-of-the-line stainless-steel appliances (including toaster oven, blender and coffee maker), marble guest bathroom with large walk-in shower, spacious family room with TV and DVD/CD player, high-speed Internet, telephone, TVs and DVDs in every bedroom, gas BBQ on the covered lanai overlooking the deep blue sea, and private oceanfront deck with steps down to your own boat dock.
The Island: Kauai, the "Garden Island," is composed of a diverse terrain that is home to rain forests, canyons, cliffs and beaches. To the north is the rugged Na Pali district, with peaks as high as 4,000 feet, and remnants of ancient places of worship. On the island's east side, the Wailua River wends its way through dense forests and plunges over waterfalls before emptying into the Pacific Ocean. To the south is the tourist district, once the vacation destination of royalty. On the west side, is the sleepy town of Waimea, near where Captain Cook first landed. In the center of the island is Mount Wai'ale'ale, the Earth's rainiest spot.
Activities: Rent a kayak (a local vendor offers 7 days for the price of 5!) and paddle right from the private dock to the private and peaceful white sandy beach, or paddle up the quiet Wainiha River to explore the lush green island. In addition to the private beach in front of your vacation home, you can drive a few minutes north for world-famous surfing, diving and snorkeling at Tunnels Beach, or continue past the wet and dry caves to the end of the road at Haena. Snorkel there, or start your North Shore hike along Kauai's famed Na Pali coastline. Also available nearby are scuba diving, wind-surfing, sailing, deep sea fishing, submarine tours, top-flight golf courses, spas, hiking, horseback riding, helicopter tours, and shopping and dining. Alternatively, you can just relax on the lanai or private deck in the ocean breeze, or stroll across the street for the daily paper and a cup of coffee and exotic island snack at the historic Wainiha General Store, or for a hot authentic Hawaiian breakfast or lunch at Red Hot Mama's restaurant.

Opening the front door, we knew we had found paradise. Your home is just too beautiful for words. It was like winning the lotto! This was our 10th time to Hawaii, and we could not have spent it at a better place.

We truly enjoyed our time at your wonderful home. You seem to have thought about everything we would need. We have never stayed on the north side of the island before, and we were totally delighted by our experience here. Your home offered relaxation at its finest! Truly couldn't have asked for a more perfect stay!

There are no words to describe what a perfect week we had on our first trip to Kauai. I couldn't imagine staying anywhere but here on the beautiful north shore. The house beat all of our expectations! It is beautiful, well-equipped, with amazing views. This place is a gem! We never thought any place could be more beautiful than Maui, but Kauai has won our hearts. We will be back!

Beautiful Riverfront homeon the North Shore

My husband, I, and our two young daughters just had too short of a stay at this beautiful property. The house has been tastefully updated/renovated. It is quite spacious with each room having its own full bathroom. It was fully stocked with everything you could possibly want or need from beach umbrellas, floaties, boogies boards, board games, childrens' toys, highchairs, beach towels, etc., etc. The river is quite refreshing, especially after a long day at the beach. It was such a nice way to cool down and shed some sand! Our only surprise is that this property isn't truly on the ocean. There aren't any buildings between you and the ocean, but you can't walk out the door and onto the beach. You first must swim or kayak over the river. I estimate the width of the river to be about 50 yards and it's too deep to touch the bottom. That being said, you have unobstructed ocean views from all the rooms and since you can't drive to that beach, it was very private. If we had truly been on the sand, we would have had people walking in front of the place all day. So, although we were surprised and a little disappointed at first that the ocean access wasn't easier, we quickly came to appreciate the set-up. The backyard was fully fenced along the river which made for a fairly safe place for our toddler to play, supervised of course, but safer than if we were directly on the ocean or the river without a fence. We would definitely stay here again, especially when our infant daughter is old enough to go into the river on a floatie too. We put our toddler into her floaties and took her across to the beach and she loved it!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with myself, my husband and two other couples. We thoroughly enjoyed everything about Kauai. The location of your home is GREAT. We visited the local towns for dinners and shopping. We enjoyed the snorkeling at all the beaches around us seeing sea turtles and a sea lion at a beach right down the street (Tunnels Beach). The hiking is fabulous right around your home. The home was perfect for the 3 couples and we all enjoyed the porch setting; having breakfast there in the mornings or playing cards in the evenings. Thank you once again for sharing your fabulous paradise with all of us. We all would LOVE to return to Kauai and enjoy your home once again.

A month after our stay, everyone in our party wishes we were still here. We've been coming to Kauai every year for some time now - always renting a home. Though we've never been dissapointed in any of our rentals, this home has been our favorite. The north shore is our preferred area and this house has a great location. You're close to several good beaches. Close to Princeville and Hanalei -but not to close. A huge plus for us. We like our privacy The house itself is well maintained. Better than average remodel when it was done. Nice floors, granite in kitchen, above average fixtures. Comfortable bedrooms (with great views). The two master suites were perfect for us and we loved the bathrooms. The kitchen was nice - we had almost every meal in. With the great views from the back lanai - why go out to eat? We spent 90% of our time in the backyard. We loved the fact that the beach in front of the house is rarely used - making the view even better. And the backyard is very private. The house is a great price for the amenities you get - I'd pay it for the view alone. There were five of us (two adult couples, and one single) and it was the perfect size for us. We'd definitely rent this property again and most likely will on our next visit.

This place is lovely!!! The listing description and pictures are very accurate. From the moment we stepped in the door, we knew it was something special. After a long day of travel, it was an amazing feeling knowing we were going to be staying here. From the spectacular views of the ocean, sunsets, rainbows, etc., to the beautiful furnishings, large lanai, well landscaped grounds, the place was ideal. I snorkeled with the turtles almost every day and slept with the sound of the ocean every night… not sure I will ever sleep as well again! The house was clean, comfortable and very convenient. I have traveled to many places using VRBO, but I can say without hesitation that this house is one of the nicest places—and best priced— I've ever been to so far. We rented the kayaks as other people suggested which was very nice. But next time, we will probably go without and use rafts to cross over… or swim. We really didn't use them all to much since there was so much exploring to do. The weather for the first 3 days was perfect— no rain. We enjoyed sunning on the deck, hiking the trail (which was a little grueling but definitely worth it) and exploring nearby. When it did rain, it gave us an opportunity to explore other beaches that were dry and sunny. And every night, we would come back "home" and enjoyed many happy hours on the lanai. At the house, there was an umbrella, beach blanket, mosquito repellent, snorkel gear, rafts and more that was very convenient. Having the market and Red Hot Mama's across the street was also a plus. Nelson and Victoria were very accommodating and provided the perfect vacation home for our family. Mahalo for letting us stay in your beautiful home… We will be back!

We stayed here once, will stay here again, and hope to make it a regular event. We even had friends stay here afterward. It is truly the perfect location if you are looking to get away from the tourist vibe. Forget restaurants. Cook yourself and watch the waves. It was just great.

We stayed at this property in late Sept. '09. It met or exceeded our expectations in every way. Very tastefully and thoughtfully laid out inside, ingeniously oriented to the water with plantings on either side so that, even though the house sits quite close to its neighbors, you are in a totally private setting. The "private beach is actually a broad sandbar which can be accessed by a short kayak paddle (we rented two single kayaks for $20 a day and kept them tied up at the dock all week) or, walk down the road past the two little bridges, and you can walk out to the sandbar. Yes, other people do use the beach but not often,and, as the river mouth separates you from the sandbar you won't feel they are walking across your "front lawn", (as one can with some oceanfront properties). The house is so well equipped with beach chairs, umbrellas and the like, even children's beach toys, that you will feel well supplied for any beach activity. We loved watching the waves at sunrise, right from our bed, and we enjoyed cooking and having dinner and drinks on the lanai each night; we joked that it had the best waterfront dining on the North shore, so why go out?! Kudos to the owners for creating such a lovely vacation rental. We hope to return.(a note about kayaking; the Wainiha river has two forks that are navigable for only a short distance, nonetheless we paddled out each morning -- except for the two that it rained -- as paddling around the little bay and upstream made the perfect start to the day. Saw Hawaiian coots, moorhens and a frigate bird, whom we christened Freddie, who appeared to live there, plus night herons and others passing through. I wouldn't swim in the river mouth, though; there were warnings about bacteria in the freshwater. the sandbar beach itself looked too rough for swimming but with Tunnels and Kee beaches just down the road, there are plenty of options if the seas are calm. (which they were, 60% of the time, when we were there in Sept.)
Owner response:The bacteria in the water was an isolated incident, and the condition no longer exists.
