Gated cottage, 3 blocks to beach, A/C Close to Tunnels. Covered outdoor space

A short walk to world-class, white sand beaches stretching for miles in both directions. Experience the beauty of a magical area nestled between emerald mountains and azure seas. Stroll in the sand on the closest beach, Naue. Walk or drive one mile to Tunnels, the ultimate snorkeling spot, with picturesque backdrop of Mount Makana and lush jungles.

Arrive "home" to a private, charming beach cottage with air-conditioned comfort. The fenced property and tropical gardens surround our guests with colorful foliage.

The top living space has a remodeled kitchen and living area with high ceilings and split system AC. There is an indoor dining area for 4.

Each bedroom has room air-conditioning. The larger bedroom offers a king bed with quality linens, flat-screen TV. The adjacent remodeled bath has a tiled shower and glass top, double vanity. The second bedroom has a queen bed with quality linens, and access to the hall bath with claw-footed tub/shower.

Wireless internet and 2 flat-screen TV's provide entertainment. The top-level lanai has a full-sized washer/dryer, outdoor dining for 4 and additional cushioned chairs.

The lower level is the ultimate space to play and relax. Enjoy the private covered area which has a double hammock, chase lounges, dining for 6, desk with wi-fi access and seating to enjoy the beach read. A tiki bar and gas BBQ pavilion is steps away. And tucked away in a private corner is a paved space with Adirondack chairs, dining table and 2 chaise lounges.

Beach access is a short walk across the road to Naue Beach. Naue is known for its beauty and off the beaten track location. During summer when the surf is low, you can refresh yourself in the shallow waters of Naue. There are no lifeguards. A mile walk or drive west takes you to Tunnels which is lifeguard protected and has fabulous snorkeling. We provide beach some snorkeling gear, coolers, chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards

This cottage is located in "Deep Country" but has the amazing opportunity to walk across the road and a block away to a coffee/bakery shop and oceanfront restaurant/bar.

This cottage is on the corner of a residential cul-de-sac and a well-traveled, 2-lane road that runs to a glorious end at Haena State Beach and the base of the Na Pali Coast. Tall hibiscus and palm trees muffle beach traffic during the day. There is little traffic at night.

Reserve the shuttle to Haena State Park( Ke'e Beach) and to hiking along the breathtaking Na Pali Coast. If you are planning to hike the Na Pali trail, plan in advance.

An absolutely beautiful property on N. Kauai
This has to be one of the most amazing rental's my wife and I have stayed in on vacation. The grounds are shrouded with native landscaping that offers privacy and a true sense of being in Hawaii. There is A/C in each of the 3 rooms along with fans which keeps it comfortable and there is a very well stocked kitchen with every amenity you could possibly need. The driveway in is covered as well which was a blessing on days when it rained and we had taken the top(s) off on our Jeep rental. IMO, the location of this rental is hard to beat and felt as though we were living at the edge of the world being located 5 mins (at most) from Haena Beach and the infamous Kalalau Trail. We watched the sunset at Haena Beach 3 of 4 nights during our stay and it is hard to beat. The owner was very responsive and even took the time to purchase a small birthday welcome of flowers / a balloon as it was my 40th. Highly recommend and I can’t wait to return.

Great location
We had a lovely time. Can't beat the location-walkable to Tunnels Beach and a short drive to the quaint town of Hanelai. Would definitely stay here again.

Mikala Place, Haena
We really enjoyed our stay at the house in Haena. It was in a great location, only a few blocks from the beach. The interior of the house was very clean and bright. The grounds outside were lush with many plants and trees. The kitchen had everything we needed and the outside grill worked very easily. We very much enjoyed our stay at this house on Mikala Place in Haena. Thanks

PERFECT NORTH END GET AWAY
We loved this place! The location was exactly what we were looking for. Quiet, clean & comfortable & the views in this area are incredible! The patio area is wonderful with many sitting areas & a grille. So many beaches to choose from & Haena State Park is just down the road (make reservations). If you're looking for shopping, restaurants, bike or kayak rental you will find it all a short drive from the house in Hanalei. Everything you need for a beach day is available at the house. I you make plans to visit this incredible island, I highly recommend this home!

Wonderful!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the cottage. The house itself is very comfortable, airy and well stocked with essentials. For us though, the real star attraction was the location, as it's located near the termination point of the Kuhio Hwy. It's in a more remote, localized area, removed from the large resort type complexes. It also has a string of some of the most beautiful beaches that you can walk to from the property that were almost deserted and very private. It's also located very near to some of the natural star attractions of the north shore, such as Haena and Tunnels beach and Haena State Park and the Kalalau Trail. Heavy tropical vegetation is sustained by short, frequent showers that gather over the beautiful mountains of the Napali Coast. The host is also very responsive to any questions or concerns. Makes it hard to leave.

Wonderful Family Vacation
Donna's house was absolutely perfect for our family of 4. The house is very nice and extremely clean and well stocked. The beach that is a quick walk from the house is beautiful and all the beach gear provided was great! Would definitely recommend and stay again.

BEAUTIFUL, quiet getaway home
Took my Mom to show her Kauai for the first time and wanted to stay on the north side as she's a huge flower-and-plants person. The home is beautiful, with plenty of space for everyone to spread out and lounge around inside, on the lanai, and in the large first-floor lounge and yard. The owner, Donna, is lovely and we got to chat with her when she swung by to (very promptly) see to a quick maintenance issue a few days into our stay -- Mom was very excited to learn that Pierce Brosnan lives down the street (no, we never spotted him). The location is amazing, with breeze and birds and the beach only a short walk away. I strongly recommend you consider this beautiful spot for your next trip to Kauai!

A great location for a relaxed stay-beautiful surroundings
The property is well kempt and in a perfect location to enjoy the Na Pali coast and all of its activities. The description of the property is accurate. Donna was perfectly responsive to a few minor questions. We enjoyed the local trails and scenery. We are not surfers, however, it must be tremendous at the right time of year. We love the property and will return again next year.

Great Stay near Hanalei!
Donna was beyond communicative and responsive. The kitchen was very well stocked which made us making meals so easy and nice. We could go on a nice runs/walks and close to all fav spots in North Shore. The house makes you feel at home in the area. ❤️🌈❤️
