Great house, walkable to Tunnels Beach. This place was perfect for our family of 4, the wrap around porch was perfect for taking advantage of the cool breeze. Being able to walk down to Tunnels multiple times a day is incredible, and the house was really well appointed.

The house was perfect for our family of 4, not only was it clean and comfortable but had lovely seating areas all around the verandah to sit and enjoy the surrounding scenery. We couldn't have asked for a better location either, the North was nothing less than spectacular.

Location and comfort

On a quiet cul-de-sac with a deck view of the pali, this comfortable house was perfect for a couple or small family. 7 min walk to the beach and 3 more to Tunnels with the Napali cliffs in view. Easy process to access and Very responsive management. We’ll appointed with kitchen amenities and older Hawaiian style. Next best thing to being oceanfront.

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: We loved staying at Haena Place! The mountain views were amazing! The place was immaculate and had everything we needed and more. Waking up to the sounds of beautiful birds (and roosters 😅) made it feel like we were in a lush jungle. The short walk to the Tunnels beach allowed us to not have to worry about parking. We loved the laid back north shore vibe and hope to return again in the future!

Very comfortable, clean, well stocked with kitchen, house and outdoor activity supplies.

Nice house in a small, quiet neighborhood. Loved the view of the mountains. Loved the spacious porch. Easy access to beautiful beach. Great place for two couples. However, if you like to sleep in, the island rooster and bird population tend too be a bit too loud at dawn. But that's life in the tropics! We all agreed an outdoor dining table on the deck is needed. Overall, a very good pick for us!

Aloha Monica, and mahalo for your comments. We're glad you enjoyed your stay at our house, and that you appreciated the location, views and lanai. Sorry about the roosters, though; they are our unofficial island mascot. We'll look into getting a dining table for the lanai. We offer a 10% discount for repeat guests, and we hope you'll visit our beautiful island again.

Great stay

Exactly as pictured and described. Although there are 4 or 5 other houses nearby, they are all positioned for privacy and everyone seemed to value the quiet as we did. We particularly enjoyed the view from the main living area and waking up to birdsong (and the unbiquitous roosters). The rental was very well equipped, from cookware & kitchen appliances to beach gear (including snorkel masks). The location was perfect for us -- a short walk to Tunnels beach and a short drive to the botanical garden and Kalalau Trail at Ke'e beach. Highly recommended.

Rode bikes 2 minutes to tunnels every day. If you are looking for a real north shore experience this is it. The view of the mountain from the front deck is incredible. Comfy beds and great kitchen. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this home again.

Great stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was exceptionally clean with many thoughtful touches that made for a carefree beach vacation. We appreciated the freshly painted wrap around decks with all the seating areas, the louvered windows and plug-in fans, the outdoor shower, and the beach chairs. We found we could linger on the deck after sunset, mosquito free.(To save other guests awkwardly searching in others’ backyards like we did, the path to the beach is not actually in the cul de sac but rather it’s the next driveway down the main road. The walk along this lovely tree-lined access road, to the beach, and then on to the swimmable part of Tunnels Beach takes 10-15 minutes.) We enjoyed waking up at sunrise and getting in lots of snorkeling before the winds picked up. Aside from food runs, we didn’t use our car much.

No guest soap for shower. No fresh flowers or fruit. All plastic. Musty smell. Back patio has nice view and relaxing feeling.Entrance lock needs to be fixed. Combination did not work. Person that answered RING tried to connect to no avail. They finally called property manger to come out and open door. We were unable to lock it when we checked out. (Had to leave key back inside)

Aloha, and mahalo for your review. We're somewhat bewildered by your comments. This is your third time staying at this home, and it hasn't changed since your first visit. We donʻt provide flowers or fruit, and there are no plastic flowers in the home. We provide bath soap in each bathroom. At no time during your stay did you contact us about the lock not working. There is no Ring system at the home, and no one was sent to the home to open the door for you. You wrote your review four months after your stay, so perhaps you were referring to a different property?

Great location, fantastic views, cozy and airy

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: If you had to know one thing about this place, know this: walking distance to Tunnels Beach. Great thing in the old days too, but now with limited parking - it's just fantastic. Very few people are able to get to that beach (one of the best in the world?), and if you stay here - you will be among the lucky ones. Also: the front side of lanai, with the dining table offers a spectacular view. I swear, I could feel my eyesight improving after hours of looking at those green hillsides in the distance. The lanai in the back also great - greenery abounds, plus it's screen in (although, there was not a single insect to be found on the island during our stay - probably seasonal thing).I can report that with the temps in the mid 80ties, we didn't miss the A/C. Trade winds are almost constant, and you can regulate the feel inside by opening/closing various doors. Much preferred listening the palm trees sway in the wind then the hum of an A/C anyway (didn't use the provided fans either). We had a couple of questions, and the management answered them promptly, so we felt well attended to. Overall: highly recommended!

We loved our stay at this house! It was very spacious for 2 people (would also work well for 2 couples) and we loved the big windows, wraparound porch, and large yard area. The setting is gorgeous and location offers a quiet, scenic escape only a 15 min drive from Hanalei, and walking distance to Tunnels beach. We can't wait to come back and stay here again!

Perfect location

The house was exactly what we were wanting... perfect location, views, and amenities. The rental company was great. The bridge at Hanalei was flooded with a tree stuck on the bridge the evening we arrived. After waiting at the bridge for 3 hours and being up almost 24 hours we called the rental company and they immediately put us in another property for the night. The only issue we had with the house was sporadically our phones wouldn’t charge in the outlets. But it was not enough of an issue to contact the rental company. We plan to return two more times within the next year. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home!

A comfortable house with a wonderful outdoor shower.

We rented this house in late March of 2018 and were really impressed by its proximity to Tunnels beach, its amenities, and the level of comfort it provided. Upon entering the place for the first time we were struck by the number of windows, the deck space, and how the owners had provided everything we needed for our stay. Our favorite feature was the outdoor shower, followed closely by the home's nearness to our favorite beach on Kauai. I would recommend this home to anyone wishing to stay on the North Shore of Kauai.
