About this house rental
Hale Huna ('Hidden House') is a wonderful cottage on a hillside near the end of the road on the North Shore of Kauai. Located on hill and a quiet cul-de-sac with only a few other local houses. Very private and peaceful (It is NOT on/near the highway like many Kauai rentals). Perfect for a family getaway or honeymoon cottage.
Our cottage had no flooding or leaks during the 2018 flood on the North Shore. It is above the regular tsunami inundation zone, but just within the extreme tsunami inundation zone if there's a 9.0 or greater magnitude earthquake in the Aleutian Islands. The safe zone can be reached by walking uphill to the other side of the street or by driving to Princeville.
Beautiful views of green mountains from backyard. Lush plant life, including mango, grapefruit, banana and lemon trees. Outdoor shower sheltered by tropical foliage. This is a small but charming and tastefully furnished plantation-style cottage with the feel of real Hawaii. Within five minutes drive of gorgeous sandy beaches: incredible snorkeling at Tunnels and Ke'e Beaches, world class surf at Hanalei Bay and picturesque Lumahai.
The closest town is charming Hanalei, which has restaurants, a grocery store, a health food store, shops, bars and more. Hanalei Bay is famous for its large crescent beach, winter surfing and calm summer waters. The stunning NaPali Coast is just minutes away (the mountains seen from the backyard are the back of the Pali's/Mountains).
The North Shore of Kauai is known for its lush tropical, rainforest-like climate and vegetation and low key lifestyle. It's a fantastic place to relax, read, swim, hike, surf, snorkel, eat fresh fish and my favorite, just walking on the beach looking for shells.

What a dream come true! Photos do not do this property justice. Eating breakfast in the gorgeous garden surrounded by lush junglemountain views was a highlight of the trip. The house is perfectly situated between gorgeous beaches and lots to do while feeling like a private retreat. Kristi was an incredible host attentive to all our needs. We would absolutely book again.

Cozy cottage, fantastic location, excellent communication with host. Enjoyed cooking several meals there, and eating on the patio surrounded by lush greenery and view of the NaPali mountains. Would definitely go back. As expected, some geckos visited us indoors; they were harmless and cute.

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. Although close to everything we felt secluded. We ventured around the island some, but always found ourselves wanting to head back to the north. Hanalei is a fun little town that didn't get to crazy busy. The food options are plenty in town ranging in price. Our favorite restaurant was Happy Talk in Princeville. The views and vibe were incredible. Tunnels and Hideaway were our favorite beaches. We saw 10-15 turtles per day in the water, which the kids really loved. When facing water the far right of the beach was best. The hike down to hideaway is a bit sketchy, so dont bring to much gear. We did try deep sea fishing and caught a 130lb tuna, and another 8 smaller ones. The captain gave us one of the smaller ones and enjoyed it for several days in the house. The ocean was rough, and if you are prone to motion sickness medication is a must. We also went zip lining and had a good time. Highly recommend hiking the Kalalau trail. Beautiful hike down the coast. We found it a little strenuous, but not to bad. You must get your permit exactly 30 days before, or you will not get a permit. I had to try a couple days to get one. The birds in the early morning at the house are like a symphony. The only problem I have was the rooster down the hill at 4:00am! (haha). Overall a great experience and we really love the northern part of the island. Correspondence with the host was prompt and helpful. The Balkins, MN
