The large, third bedroom aka the bunk room is separate from the main living space and can sleep up to nine guests with an attached bathroom. All bedrooms are equipped with its own AC, plush linens and beddings and its own bathroom.

Family Trip!

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: This rental was stunning home! Very private and surrounded by so much natural beauty. The house was very clean, the furniture and appliances all looked brand new. It was the perfect place to stay for our family’s island get away. And every room had A/C, which came in handy for the hot and humid days/nights.

Vacation Rental in Hā’ena

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: This was the perfect vacation rental for our family. The bunk house was perfect for the kids to have their own space and bathroom. The home was very spacious for ten people even on a rainy day when we couldn’t go outside. You never felt like you were on top of each other. This home is loaded with everything you could need in the kitchen to cook big meals for your family. Downstairs you have everything you could need for your trips to the beach. The beach is a short walk from the house. It is beautiful and no one around for miles however November is the start of the winter season with big waves and it made that beach extremely dangerous for swimming. We couldn’t go in the water but you aren’t far from other beautiful beaches where you can snorkel and swim. If you are looking for a quiet spot away from the hustle and busyness this is your place. We loved this rental and would love to stay here again.

Gorgeous, Private and Relaxing

Fabulous north shore location, only minutes from the beach and extraordinary sunsets. Quick walk to coffee in the morning and a meal in the evening. Also perfect to stay in and cook at home with well stocked kitchen, BBQ, great lanai and plenty of space for the whole family. Already planning our next visit !

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: It was perfect. Tons of outdoor space. Quiet neighborhood. The A/C kept the house very comfortable for us mainlanders. The bunk room was the perfect place for all the cousins. The beech walk was easy although this time of year the waves are pretty intense. About a mile down to the north there is a great area for snorkeling though. The host brought us a new blender same day the old one broke.

perfect for two families

This house is great. Amazing layout with great indoor/outdoor lounge areas and a separate bunk room with plenty of space for lots of kids. The home is well equipped with all the necessary amenities (including plenty of towels, boogie boards, beach chairs, etc) but it still feels authentically Hawaiian on a lush, private property. Walking distance to a nice beach but we usually drove the 15 minutes into Hanalei for beaches and restaurants.

Great property!

Had a great time staying at Jeff's place for 4 nights. The house is really cool and being able to walk to Tunnels Beach was fantastic! I will echo some of the other reviews about the noisy neighbors because unfortunately we got neighbors next door with a lot of kids who were really loud even late at night. That's no fault of the owner though and overall still a good stay.

Beautiful private treehouse in a remote town on the north coasr

We enjoyed spending the first part of our honeymoon in this well appointed home. The location between Hanalei and the end of the road at Ha'ena was great for seeing the sights of he north shore and snorkeling tunnels beach. Our only problem with the location was getting stranded on the wrong side of the Hanalei bridge due to heavy rain and flooding for one night. Other than that we had a wonderful time and enjoyed this well thought out and beautiful home.

Amazing property, highly recommend staying in this wonderful bungalow.

My wife and I recently stayed in the above property for five nights. Hands down, this was the cleanest rental we have ever booked. The kitchen appliances were all "top of the line". The balcony served as a perfect spot for relaxing and eating breakfast, looking out over the well manicured backyard. The house is in walking distance of Tunnels Beach and very close to several nice restaurants. We loved the north shore, but the one lane bridges can be tricky to navigate at times. I would highly recommend this property, in fact we plan to return next year and stay in the same location.

Incredible retreat

We absolutely loved this house- we were originally a little concerned by the treehouse right next door and it was hard to get a sense of how well that would work. It was fantastic- whoever stayed was very quiet and we hardly saw them. All the lanai for the big house are on the other side too. The house was very clean and spacious- the bunk room is actually a separate room which worked great- our kids stayed there. The house is so well stocked- from the kitchen to beach gear to cleaning supplies. The beach is a short walk away- we also walked to tunnels Beach (very close by) and hanalei colony resort for coffee and dinner multiple times. Would absolutely stay again.

Magical

We have visited the island a few times as well as having family on Maui. This little piece of heaven was by far the best place we have stayed. Everything you need is there which made travel light. Walking to a beautiful Beach and restaurant for short trips and a beautiful drive for Day trips. The house is clean and bug Free which has been a problem other places on the island. The key code was awesome so we never worried about loosing the key. We loved the privacy of the upstairs patio having morning coffee outside​ looking at the lush garden was awesome. The climate at the house was the best on island. Never too Hot beautiful rainbow every morning! Thank you for making this place available, the experience was perfect.
