Reviewer Comments: Absolutely lovely, spacious, private property on the north shore of Kauai! Our family of four loved our stay. If we ever decide to build a beach home, this is the home we would build. The space is great. Tons of natural light. Direct access to a quiet beach. Close to the Nepali range and a. short drive from the cute town of Hanalei Bay. Can't imagine a better place to stay. ##### Ashley P.

Jan 9, 2014 #### Didn't know it was possible to fall completely IN LOVE with a place. Now I know. My boyfriend and I came here for our anniversary and to get away from the city life, and I can safely say this was the most relaxing and exciting trip either of us had ever done. Such a beautiful and extremely private house with sea turtles and coral reefs directly in front on our private beach. We literally snorkeled everyday and explored our surroundings (tons of attractions/sight seeing very close by) - One could imagine, we were both very sad to leave. Managed to stay away (for the most part) from tourists and hiked up to and swam in the Hanakapi'ai Falls. I would recommend this house in a heartbeat as it not only gives you a beautiful, clean space to live and feel comfortable, but experiences for you to take away and remember for the rest of your life! ##### Allison E. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott W., Highlands Ranch, CO Jul 16, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Wonderfulness Everything was perfect! The home was very clean. The linens were very very nice quality! The beds were very comfortable. The AC in the bedrooms was Huge! Most wonderful - the lenai. The covered table area made it perfect 100% of the time. The Sonos sound system and smart TVs are great!!! We could take the small path to the beach anytime and enjoy essentially our own private beach and snorkeling area. Sheer wonderfulness. Quiet, clean and completely relaxing. We will be back!!!

We loved staying on the North Shore! Tunnels Beach is our absolute favorite place on earth! This home has an unbelievable view. We enjoyed breakfast on the lanai each morning overlooking paradise! I do think some things in the home could use a little refresh, ie. the master shower and kitchen cabinets, but that didn’t change what a wonderful stay we had. The oven wasn’t working either, but I was able to work around that with the stove and toaster available. Overall, I still give this home 5 stars because of the view, the location, the lanai, and layout of the home. The host was very responsive as well! Would love to stay again next time we visit the island. ##### Brooke F.

The home has direct access to a beautiful sand beach. It’s about a half mile walk either on the beach or the road to tunnels for snorkeling. We visited in the middle of May, and the beach directly behind the house would not be a good swimming beach for children. It might be calmer in the summer but tunnels and Anini beach are better choices for kids. ( Anini beach has better parking than tunnels). Justin the manager was great with dealing with any issues we had. Overall the home and the general area is a great place to just relax and get away from the traffic and busyness of other parts of the island. It is about an hour drive to Lihue so you’ll need to plan any island activities accordingly. ##### david W. Stayed 7 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris V. Apr 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Hui Hou! As every other review states, this house is amazing. Most things don't live up to the hype, but this house does. Here are some items that would have helped us with our trip. The house had beach supplies: really nice chairs, towels, a cooler, and an umbrella. The showers were stocked with body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. If you stop at the store before you drive in, don't get coffee filters. The last few families must have done the same thing we did, so there was an abundance. The kitchen also had basic spices and olive oil. I'm not sure how long they will last, but a trip to Hanalei, where the market is located, was part of our daily routine. The two master suites with king beds were a nice feature for two couples traveling together. One has an ocean view, and the other is quieter and has less light. The non-ocean view room has a nicer shower. Finally, the Sonos sound system throughout the home was a nice touch. It was nice to hear some island music during our stay. The property also has Apple TVs in each room, but we did not need them. Mahalo for sharing your beautiful home. ##### Chris V.

Home is well laid out and plenty of space for our family of four. The oven was not working and the property management brought over a air fryer/toaster oven that worked in it's place. Kitchen cabinets could use some TLC but other than those things it was as advertised and a great home. On the right side of the home it is on a path to the beach that sees alot of foot traffic so be advised if you were looking for privacy. There are nice restaurants a few miles away and a fish market if you want to cook. Just a great relaxing stay! Mahalo! ##### Jami V.

Reviewer Comments: We spent a beautiful and relaxing week at this beautiful home on the North Shore. We came as a couple and spent a portion of the week with friends who also were wowed by the comfortable home and beautiful ocean view from the back deck. We enjoyed both going out to dinner in Hanalei, but ended up cooking and eating at "home" more than we have ever done on vacation, because it was so much fun to hang out at the house. While we were visiting the weather was perfect, but the ocean was rough (all over the North Shore), so we ended up exploring and swimming at safer spots. We plan to come back in spring or summer so that we can swim right outside the house. ##### Julie E. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas and Valerie P.

The home has all the comforts of home with spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean from almost every room in the house. While the beach is a little steep at this location, it was well protected from the high winds felt just 200 yards in either direction. The reef directly behind the house was filled with tropical fish and we spent hours snorkeling. This was the perfect home base for our Kalalau Trail and Queen’s Bath hikes, as well as trips to Hanalei. Our only complaint was that we didn’t book a longer trip! ##### Philip H.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved staying at this spot, we always stay in Haena and this has been one of my top houses. The view is spectacular, we were so close to tunnels we could walk over if there wasn't any parking. Clean house and responsive crew. ##### Edith R.
