Our newly renovated beachfront cottage featuring expansive panoramic ocean views from every room located on one of Kauai’s most secluded North Shore beaches. If you’re looking to escape the crowds and enjoy your own secluded paradise – look no further. The cottage is ideally situated 5 steps to your own beach, right next to Tunnels Beach, Ke'e Beach, the Na Pali Coast and Hanalei Bay. We invite you to enjoy a relaxing beachfront getaway, perfect for experiencing Kauai’s majestic North Shore.

The space
This modernized beach house features a newly renovated kitchen and full oceanfront bathroom with tub overlooking the tropical Hawaiian ocean. Featuring a stunning new kitchen with electric stove overlooking the Pacific, brand new stainless appliances, indoor / outdoor seating.

No need for a pool - literally step right outside take a dip in warm ocean or sunbathe on the beach in front of the cottage. Need a beverage? Just 10 steps back into the house and roll a cooler to the beach out front. The property grounds are grassy and expansive with over 270’ft of ocean frontage, one of the largest ocean frontages in Hāʻena / Hanalei.

The master bedroom features a brand new plush California King mattress and full ocean views with private bathroom entry. Newly fully renovated bathroom features a full size soaking tub overlooking the ocean, glass shower and local Camphor wood accent countertops. Enjoy unwinding in a warm bath overlooking the sea after a long day of exploring the Kauai coast. The home stays cool with clean sea breezes so no need for A/C – enjoy clean ocean air while falling asleep to the sound of waves soothing you to sleep.

The full sized couch converts to a Queen Bed for additional sleeping area for groups larger than 2. Relax on the oversized couch to watch movies or your new favorite show with a new 50” 4k Flatscreen TV with ocean views in the background – you may never want to leave. Ample dining room and kitchen seating for enjoying meals, this home combines the serenity of Kauai with modern amenities to suit all of your needs. Need to get some work done on your trip? High-speed Wi-Fi and excellent cell phone reception makes the living room desk, dining table, couch or beach out front an enjoyable workplace as well. Warning: You may see turtles and humpback whales swimming by and/or oversized rainbows forming over the ocean while you’re on your zoom calls which may cause co-worker envy.

Located in the idyllic town of Hāʻena, the home is just a 5 minute walk to our local restaurant (Opakapaka Bar and Grill) and coffee shop or a quick drive to Hanalei town for ample delicious restaurant options, grocery stores and shopping. Tunnels beach is a quick bike ride or drive with some of Kauai’s best snorkeling and highest chance of swimming with our local resident Sea Turtles ‘Honus’. Hāʻena is also home to a few celebrities (Pierce Brosnan (007), Anthony Kiedis, etc.) drawn in by the serenity and beauty of this north shore surf town. Another mile down the road you will enter Hāʻena State Park and Ke’e Beach and the start of the Na Pali trail, Kauai’s most epic hiking trail. If you are looking to escape the main touristy spots in Kauai (Poipu, Kapa’a & Princeville) you will likely love staying in Hāʻena.

In an effort to reduce our impact on the environment we strive to offer an eco-friendly home, featuring efficient appliances, lighting, recycling and eco-cleaning products. Our tap water is supplied from the local purified rain water so no need to bring bottled water. We provide stainless steel, reusable water bottles for your stay. Please be sure to use Reef-safe sunblock during your stay in Kauai as well. We hope you love Kauai as much as we do and will make an effort to join us in these simple measures to protect the Aina.

The beach cottage is locally family owned / managed so your stay will be supporting local residents here on the North Shore of Kauai. Our property manager lives close-by and we are available to ensure you have an unforgettable trip here on the garden isle.

Neighborhood highlights

Located less than a mile from Tunnels Beach and 2.5 Miles from the Na Pali Coast and just a quick 10 minutes to Hanalei Bay, our hale is ideally situated next to the best beaches on the North Shore of Kauai. Opakapaka Grill and Bar is just one block away as well :)
Home to a few celebrities like Pierce Brosnan (007) and Anthony Kiedis (Red Hot Chili Peppers) there's a reason why Haena + Hanalei Bay are the most desirable spots on Kauai. If you're looking for gorgeous, secluded beaches while still being close to restaurants and nightlife on the North Shore, look no further.
