Hawaii Life - Modern beach style with A\/C
About this house rental
Situated in Kauai, this lovely house for $800 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Kauai's North Shore has been a frequent backdrop for countless movies due to its incredibly lush beauty and phenomenal beaches. Nestled within this gorgeous, pristine expanse, lies Haena Kai. Set back just thirty paces from a soft, deserted, coral sand beach, this three-bedroom, two-bath, elevated home awaits your family retreat. If you want to escape the crowds and let the soothing surf wash your cares away, welcome to your piece of paradise. We are pleased to announce that Haena Kai is now solar-powered with battery back-up in case of power outage. When staying at our home, have peace of mind knowing your environmental footprint is smaller. Surrounded for privacy by a lava rock wall, towering coconut palms, and lush landscaping, Ha'ena Kai’s elevated position, wall of windows, and wraparound lanai capture superlative views of the reef and fringing mountains. With the newly added split unit air-conditioning system in all rooms, you are sure to stay cool after a day of adventure! The home’s open architectural design creates an inviting gathering space while also allowing for breezy trade winds to cool the sanctuary naturally. Additional ceiling fans are strategically located throughout the structure to ensure your comfort yet retain that Old Hawaiian feel. Best of all, Haena Kai has recently undergone a dramatic and purposeful renovation to make your visit a respite of pure pleasure and renewal. The home’s interior has been tastefully yet charmingly transformed to meet your every need in style. A new gourmet grill on the lanai and a kitchen filled with state-of-the-art, stainless steel appliances beckon you to prepare that special meal you’ve always wanted to enjoy in a tropical setting. But if you don’t feel like cooking, no worries! One of Kauai’s top-rated restaurants is but a hundred-yard walk down the beach. The main living area has been appointed with invitingly comfortable furniture and should you desire some visual entertainment, the new 65-inch 4K UHD television set awaits. The main living area is also equipped with a workstation and high-speed wireless internet access for those who must touch bases with the outside world. When the day is done, three thoughtfully appointed, soothing bedrooms stand ready to comfort and recharge your soul and the 1000-count Egyptian cotton sheets ensure your slumbers will be sound and satisfying. For your comfort, all the bedrooms are now fully air-conditioned. Our home is professionally managed by a team that strives to make your visit immensely enjoyable, carefree, and memorable.

We can't say enough about our beautiful Kauai vacation! Our home was perfect and far exceeded our expectations. The photos do not do it justice! The home was so roomy and clean, with the most stunning views! We mostly loved that we were just steps away from the most beautiful beach in Haena! We snorkled almost everyday of our 10 day vacation and were lucky enough to see a few turtles as well as the most beautiful fish! Definitely one of the highlights of our trip! We had many things planned during our vacation, however we found that we all preferred to stay at the house and play on the beach! It will be a trip that we will FOREVER remember! The kitchen provided us with everything we needed to prepare our meals and truly felt like home away from home. The only complaint was the A/C unit in the living room did not work and neither did the dishwasher but it definitely wasnt something that impacted our stay negatively! We can't say enough wonderful things about our stay and cannot wait to get our next vacation planned at the same property!

We stayed for a week at the end of Aug. beginning of Sept. with our son and his wife. There is plenty of room to spread out and have privacy. The master suite is at the opposite end of the great room or living space from the other two bedrooms and bath. The house is absolutely gorgeous, the pictures do not do it justice. I couldn’t believe how huge the wrap around deck was and the gas bbq works great! The kitchen has everything you need and then some. Unfortunately there was a problem with the dishwasher during our stay,but we were ok with hand washing. The week we were there the beach out front was a little windy/choppy so not great for swimming or snorkeling, however it’s a relatively short walk to Haena/Tunnels where there is some protection from the wind. There is a restaurant (Opakapaka) right next door at the Colony about a 3 minute walk away. Generous drink pours, so-so food, beautiful views.If you’re looking for privacy and luxury this is the place.Just a few notes:The A/C works greatThere are beach chairs, an umbrella, cooler and fins at the houseIf you take night walks wear bug sprayEverything is clean and sparkling - I almost walked through a sliding glass door :DBe sure to walk out on the beach at night, the stargazing is to die for.

Perfect house. Nice layout, clean, amazing views of Kauai's north coast on one side and sea on the other. Steps from a hidden beach with great snorkeling.

The initial communication was great. We got regular updates and check in instructions by email prior to arriving. However, when we did arrive, we had some trouble getting in or reaching anyone to help us. We eventually got in touch (they were also exploring the beauty of Kaua'i) and got in to the house. After that, it was smooth sailing. The location is amazing and the house is well furnished. Our group had people aged 1 to 80 and everyone was happy and comfortable. The nearby beach was great for hanging out and its proximity to Ha'ena Beach and the State Park as well as the Limahuli Garden make it just about perfect.

Our family of four was very comfortable here and this home has one of the best-stocked kitchens of the homes we’ve stayed in. It is literally a handful of steps to the beach-access trail, a short walk to Tunnels (awesome snorkeling!), and 12-15 minutes to either Haena (get your permit 30 days ahead!) or Hanalei. It’s a lovely, quiet neighborhood and area of the island.The managers were quickly responsive and helpful! I would bring my family here again, without a doubt.

So many things we can say about our vacation. First is that the pictures do not do the home justice. Much nicer in person and bigger! Great layout and perfect location. You walk out the property and right there is a path to a very secluded beach. We had lots of rain so we probably spent more time in the home then we had expected, but it was perfect! We are already booking again!

We just returned from a wonderful family vacation with our group of seven and loved our week staying at Haena Kai. The home was modern and gave us so much space to enjoy each other in the great room with cooking, eating, and hanging out on the couch. The outside patio that wrapped around the home gave us plenty of privacy, lots of shady spots, and views of the ocean. The location of the home to the beach was amazing. Within a few minutes, we could have our feet in the sand on a very quiet and clean beach. This was our favorite beach to snorkle at on the North shore as we were able to see so many fish while feeling safe. Swimming with our local turtle was also a bonus. We would definately love to come back and stay in this quiet neighborhood and house again soon. One final note was that our host (Lu) was so fabulous and was so attentive and kind when we had questions about the home. She was such a joy to correspond with and such a great asset to an amazing accommodation in this wonderful pocket of paradise. Thank you for allowing our family to be guests in your home. The Martin family - March 2023

We had the BEST family trip here. The house is totally dialed in and updated. But most importantly the location is amazing. If you are looking for North Shore paradise - you found it here. Just a minute from a quiet beach that’s calmer than Tunnels. We snorkeled about 5 times a day right out front and had a name for every turtle. Great house, well managed and I plan to come back :)

We were absolutely thrilled with this home! As everyone states, it’s beyond amazing. We stayed there with our 3 little kiddos for a week and there was ample room for playing, lounging, cooking, and hanging out. This home was well stocked with everything you need to cook and simple things like, hand and dish soap. We appreciated all the attention to details. We walked to the beach every day, which is just a few steps away. It was truly magical. The beach was perfect for little kiddos who wanted to play in the waves and also ideal for snorkeling adventures! I only hope that we are lucky enough to return here someday. Thank you to the homeowners and caretakers of this home. It was an outstanding experience and we will recommend to anyone traveling to the North Shore of Kauai.

If anything, this house is better than advertised! Amazing views and a (very) short walk to the beach. Quiet beach, warm (and perfect) breezes, and a great lanai to take it all in! We brought our children and my parents to The Islands for the first time and they were spoiled with this location. We can’t wait to get back and get on island time again! This rental was clean and extremely well kept. Thank you for an amazing family vacation!

We loved our stay at Haena Kai. We were 4 adults total, 2 couples. The house is thoughtfully designed, with essentially 2 wings and 1 bath in each. The home has great natural light and ocean views and a lovely kitchen with many appliances. I also appreciated the many comfortable touches, including beach towels and yoga mats. I would love to stay there again.

Great floor plan with master on one side (with spectacular ocean view) and teo bed rooms on the other side. Open floor plan with lots of space. Lanai was huge with great views in all directions.
Good, functional kitchen with everything we needed.
Location is great with a path to beach steps from the property. On the beach in less than 5 min.
Would definitely stay here again.
If it’s your first time to Kauai and you want to explore the island, there are probably better locations to stay.

Beautiful, comfortable, spotless, well stocked home in a quiet neighborhood with lovely views. The house is elevated- a long staircase up to front door. Important to know if you have any sort of physical challenge. Also, in case planning who sleeps where…. only queen or king beds in bedrooms- none of bedrooms have two beds. Beds are very comfortable. Absolutely loved our stay! Thank you!

Perfect location, perfect property, perfect island. Not enough can be said about how wonderful this property is. It is just steps to the short path to the beach, which is a quiet not highly trafficked beach to sit back and enjoy the tranquil scenery and the occasional resting monk seal. There were plenty of beach chairs to use and the host was wonderful helping us get a cooler needed for our beach trips. The house is exquisite with modern finishes and everything you need, plus some, to enjoy your surroundings and make meals in their large beautiful kitchen. There is a conveniently placed hose to wash your feet off before walking up the stairs to your luxury home for your stay. The master suite with bathroom sits on one wing of the house and the other two bedrooms with their bathroom at the other end. This was a wonderful setup for my husband and I with our infant in the master and my brother, sister-in-law and nephews at the other end. The huge wrap around porch with overhanging eave was the best spot to catch the sunsets and stargaze at night as well as being protected from the afternoon rain showers. Such a peaceful neighborhood which is just a short drive to Tunnels beach and Hanalei Bay and all the other great offerings that north shore Kauai has to explore. We were at complete ease and enjoyed this property immensely and will definitely be back!

One of the best rental homes we have ever stayed in. Pictures do not do it justice. 40 steps to an uncrowded beach where we snorkeled everyday. Very close to all the fabulous North Shore beaches, and just a short drive in to Hanalei. We cannot wait to come back!

This house was gorgeous, clean, updated, and in the best location. The house has near 360 degree views and deck. You can see gorgeous ocean or mountains all around. It's in a secluded part of the island. The snorkeling just steps from the house is unbeatable.

This was our third stay in this house. We love the home and the staff of Hawaii Life were once again excellent at accommodating all our requests. Our familiarity with the property enabled us to notice the upgrades the owners have made over the past few years. We have chosen to continue to return to this home because of its ideal location, the layout and amenities of the home, the fantastic location and friendly neighbors.
We had only one issue on this trip. The sink in the two bedroom wing was not draining. The staff at Hawaii Life promptly came by to drano the sink, but it did not work. We did not request for the sink to be snaked, but it would have been ideal if the sinks were checked before hand. This is a small complaint for an otherwise perfect stay.
Thank you to the owners and Hawaii Life for the great experience. We will definitely be back!
