Lovely beach house

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house right on the beach. The house has direct access to the beach and it’s a beautiful walk on the beach to the Napali Coast. The house had everything we needed and was very peaceful.

Second time back!

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 our second time renting Hale Elua and it was just as perfect as we remembered! The house is super well taken care of, it's stocked well with the best of the best, air conditioning and fans in every room, and just gorgeous! Waking up to the sound of the waves and watching the incredible sunrises above the ocean right from the bedroom is a true gift. You have the best beach right in front of the house to begin the gorgeous 15 min walk to tunnels. The hot tub is an amazing edition to relax in the early morning or after a long day of exploring. We already booked our next stay! Can't wait to be back to relax and unwind in this magical place!

Happy Time Beach House

Great house by the beach. House, appliances, and furnishings are excellent. Ocean views while eating breakfast and dinner on the lanai. Fast Internet. Comfortable beds. We enjoyed our stay immensely.

Haena Vacation

This property is amazing!! We found the home bigger and nicer than what it looks like from the pictures. It accommodates 6 adults easily with lots of space. It is right on the beach (not swimmable though) and the grassy/shady lawn is perfect spot. The best part is the lanai-it is large with a table for 6, 2 oversized comfy chairs and a hot tub. The view is amazing! Tunnels beach is just around the corner-a quick 15 minute walk with calmer water to swim and snorkel. Beach is not busy or crowded. Responses from host were quick (the only thing we needed was trash/recycling emptied) and we had no problems during our stay. It is a quiet, remote location that offers solitude. Even though the rental right next door is close, we never heard the visitors and still felt secluded. We hope to come back to this exact rental in the future!

Spectacular!

We can’t say enough about our stay here. This Haena home has been meticulously and tastefully renovated with attention to every detail. The overall feel is embracing and welcoming. The kitchen is extremely well-outfitted, not to mention beautifully done. We enjoyed dinners on the front deck every night overlooking the ocean and beautifully manicured garden. The large front room is perfect for hanging out, reading, yoga or watching a movie. We all commented how lovely it was to come “home” after days on the beach or adventures - we all felt spoiled! This vacation was a splurge for us, and we felt it exceeded our expectations. We hope to come back!

Gorgeous Beachfront Home

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely home. The location is perfect, right on the beach a short walk from the Tunnels reef. Everything about the newly remodeled property is high end, from the gourmet kitchen (Wolf, Sub-Zero, All-Clad, Cuisinart, etc) to the huge collection of luxurious Pendleton beach towels. We enjoyed the short beautiful drive to Hanelei for fresh Opah from the Dolphin fish market, which we barbecued on the lanai overlooking the turquoise waters of the North Shore, napping and reading in the hammock overlooking the beach, walking up to Tunnels for snorkeling with the sea turtles, Surf lessons at Hanelei bay, hiking in Haena State Park just up the road, fresh pineapple and citrus daiquiris from the Vitamix blender, delicious tapas at Baracuda, amazing ramen at Ama, and super-fresh Poke bowls from Hanalei Poke, and stand-up paddling and kayaking on the Hanalei River --all close by in Hanalei. We highly recommend this home for your North Shore Kauai vacation.

Beautiful home in a peaceful location

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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second visit to the north shore of Kauai and the location of this home could not have been more perfect. We didn’t mind the gorgeous 15 minute drive into Hanalei Bay and enjoyed the solitude and peace this home offered. We had breakfast each morning on the deck overlooking the ocean, leisurely afternoons in the hammock, and lovely walks on the beach to Tunnels for snorkeling. The home itself was gorgeous and well appointed but left some to be desired. Some of cookware and knives were worn out, it was lacking basic amenities we would be accustomed to for a rental of this quality (tea, coffee, sweetener, spices, propane for the grill, had to request olive oil and shampoo/conditioner which our on-island property manager delivered). The air conditioner splits were helpful for warm afternoons but we felt the mattresses were uncomfortable. We found it off putting how it was mentioned many times that after the starter supply of toilet paper etc. was used, we were on our own. Overall, for the cost vs. value, I don’t feel we would return to this particular property and were a bit surprised by Hawaii Life’s property management.

Beautiful and Private

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 home is a wonderful escape from the crowded resort areas. It was very clean, with updated furnishings and appliances. The A/C units worked very well which was needed since it was very hot in July. The views from the patio were gorgeous and the ocean was just a few steps away. There were only 2 issues that could use some attention. 1. The washing machine smelled very strongly of mildew. It needs to be cleaned and serviced. Unfortunately, I think too many renters put sandy towels in there and it wasn't designed to handle that much sand.2. The hot tub was leaking the entire time. I was told the owner is aware of it but I guess they haven't bothered to do anything about it.Other than that, the stay was amazing!

Amazing location but lacking otherwise

The house has been nicely remodeled but isn’t finished. Lots of stuff mentioned that isn’t actually included because of the remodel and a real lack of communication between the property management team and renters. When we expressed our concerns we were ignored or argued with. It really left a bad taste in our mouthes. We didn’t expect them to magically fix everything and would’ve been satisfied if they made us feel heard. First class location with low class service. Go in with lower expectations and you’ll be extremely happy!
