Peaceful Stay in Ha'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: We really enjoyed staying at this property. The house is in good condition and was very clean. Bed and furniture were comfortable - the photos on the website were accurate. We especially liked having breakfast on the lanai while listening to all the birds in the early morning. The beach is a short walk across the street with several paths that bring you to very different sections of the beach. There are beach chairs and towels provided so you can spend several hours exploring the beach. The Limahuli Garden and Preserve is a mile down the road and is well worth a visit. We had two minor problems which were resolved very quickly by the rental agency. We are looking forward to staying here again in a year or two - we highly recommend this rental.

Location, charm and comfort!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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 love this property for its location, charm and comfort. It's our 'home away from home' when we come to Kauai once or twice a year. We love to settle in and cook dinners at home most nights, and this year made a perfect Thanksgiving dinner ala Foodland where we picked up a fresh turkey breast & yams, and fixings. Shout out to Kauai Vacation Rentals, so pro and such a nice staff; they make it a perfect and easy stay. Mahalo!

Wow, what a beautiful spot and this little house was just perfect for us. We went at a hot time, so air conditioning was missed at times but still worth it. We love the location and the seclusion and would love to return someday.

This is our second time staying near end of the road, on the North shore of Kauai. It's the most beautiful place in the world; the mountains above Hanalei are breathtaking, the state park down the road is beyond words, the Botanical gardens only 5 minutes away from this rental are fantastic, easy shopping only a few minutes away, gorgeous country roads, rolling Hills and beautiful turquoise Waters - It's literally the perfect place to stay. This house was a perfect little Haven amongst all of this. One bedroom, lots of porch space, a well-equipped kitchen. If I had to give any negative, I would say I wish it had air conditioning, but even without we were ok. The walk to the beach is a short 1.5 block walk, and there's another Beach you can walk to that's probably 5 ish blocks away, which is better for swimming. Very walkable in terms of beach access. The yard also has a mango tree, tangerine tree, avocado tree, and plumeria trees (among others). It's heaven on earth.

Wonderful Cottage

Cozy cottage with several private lanais. Few minutes walk to the beach where we could wander for miles. We had breakfast and dinner on the front lanai most days. We had a great time and look forward to returning!

Beautiful property!

The home was so cute and comfortable! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. The house is walking distance to some of the best beaches in the world. I would absolutely stay here again. One thing we didn’t realize is that even when booking with VRBO, we still worked with a third party management company. It didn’t hinder our stay at all but I wasn’t expecting another company to reach out to me asking for my payment information, etc. I like the ease of booking through the app and communicating through the app.

Just as perfect as we remembered— although there were clearly some upgrades to the property that we truly appreciated. So happy to have a big, clean tub for my daily hot soak! The mattress on the huge king bed was SO comfy. Don’t know why we waited so long to return!
