Great North Shore Cottage

Reviewed on 2023-09-15 by , Muir Beach, CA United StatesThat said, there are some big things to note. The place does not have a hotel room safe, which it needs and we requested to no avail. The old louvered windows (very necessary for ventilation) just don’t lock securely. We took our valuables (iPhones, wallets, iPad etc) to the beach every day, which meant we could not snorkel together. It was a major bummer. From personal experience (at a different rental on the same street) we no longer leave valuables unlocked or unattended. The tv remote failed a few days in to the trip, and it was never really addressed. We only missed tv a little for news. But it might have mattered to someone else a bit more. The house also needs just a deep cleaning/detailing. The bedroom drapes need cleaning, or better yet replacing. The bed and pillows need a refresh too. And it does not have a comfortable living room. There are only chairs with an ottoman and a chaise. Neither are comfortable, and you can’t cuddle up with your companion. And the upholstery is very tired. We covered it with the extra cotton blankets in the armoire, after we first washed them. It wouldn’t take much to upgrade the house just a little bit. It needs it. It deserves it. It’s a special, special place. We had fun imagining how great the simple improvements would make it..
My husband and I have rented many, many homes in Haena over the last 15 years. I started out as a backpacker to Kalalau and camper at Haena Beach Park in 1985. It’s the most magical place on earth, and we leave our hearts there every time we have to depart. Mahalo to the owner of this home for letting us enjoy Haena.
Wonderful!!

Hale Pua Kai-The ultimate "Hawai'i" experience
Reviewed on 2019-07-19 by Carol G. , San Francisco, CAHave we enjoyed our stay here?
Reviewed on 2018-10-30 by Michael O. , LucerneHave we enjoyed our stay here? Have we ever! Everything was perfectly organized, the wonderful house was impeccable and well equipped, the whole stay was just FUN. The only minor drawback is that you can't see this wonderful ocean from the front lanai... There are so many things to do and see near and far. E.g. don't miss the beautiful Limahuli garden, or the Ke'e and Tunnel beaches with their sunsets, not to mention the Na Pali coast by land, sea and air. Etc., etc... Go there!
Perfect Old Style Hawaiian Bungalow
Reviewed on 2018-06-18 by Robin P. , Bellingham, WAHouse is typical bungalow, very nice. One main room, bed and bath with 3 lanai spaces so there is lots of air flow and ways to be outside. one lanai is screened with futon if one wanted to sleep there. Kitchen nicely equipped (no dishwasher but easy to wash dishes). Gardens are lush and surround house. With lots of vegetation close to house you are protected from street but makes house a bit dark during the day. Highly recommended for a couple.
Perfect for a Romantic Getaway
Reviewed on 2018-05-30 by Scott & Sarah S. , Wasilla AKWe chose this lovely home as our destination for our wedding and honeymoon. The rental was perfect for a romantic getaway. All the amenities one could need. Unfortunately due to extreme rainfall we had to be evacuated. Then thanks to Lucy, we were relocated to another wonderful condo and our wedding was saved!! I can not say enough kind things about Kauai vacation rentals, Lucy and their dedication to customer service. Don’t hesitate to rent one of their wonderful places in Kauai!!
Wonderful property in a quiet charming neighborhood.
Reviewed on 2018-05-21 by David C. , Berkeley, CAVery nice place makes you feel like a local. My wife and I really enjoyed staying here. Lots of covered porches and all the amenities one could need. There’s a charcoal BBQ for those who like to stay in and cook. Outdoor shower for after visiting the beach which is only a couple minutes walk to get too. Washer and dryer on site if you need do laundry during your stay. We found the bed to be very comfortable as well.
Lovely home in great location
Reviewed on 2017-12-15 by Jean V. , Montpelier, VTWe loved our time at Hale Pua Kai. The house is very comfortable and cozy, and surrounded by lovely trees and shrubs that make it feel very private. We ate out on a delightful covered lanai off the dining room. Best of all, it is a 3-minute walk from a lovely beach. A nice walk of less than a half mile along the beach takes you to gorgeous Tunnels and Haena beaches. The house is in a quiet residential area (many vacation homes), including families. Out of the hustle and bustle of Hanalei, but only a 10-15 minute drive, and close to many wonderful destinations. Beautiful area.
Kitchen is fully equipped for cooking with a charcoal grill on the porch (had to buy charcoal), but we like charcoal! We enjoy cooking.

Romantic getaway home in quiet Haena!
Reviewed on 2017-12-02 by Dale S. , Visalia, CAWe loved staying at Hale Pua Kai in Haena! The home and location were beautiful and quiet. The grounds were lovely. We stayed nine nights and enjoyed fixing dinners with fresh fish from the fish market in Hanalei. We appreciated the fully screened features, wood floors, and floor and ceiling fans. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances, pots and pans, utensils, etc. The washer and dryer came in handy. Plenty of linens and towels. Nice TV and excellent wifi. There are many places to sit here...inside and out... to enjoy the sounds of the birds in the morning as the sun rose, or to have meals on the patio. A sandy beach is about 200 yards of a walk from the home, and Tunnels Beach (good for snorkeling on calm days) is just a bit to the west. Overall, a fun and romantic getaway home.
Highly recommended
Reviewed on 2017-11-02 by Ian K. , Berkeley, CAA lovely, quaint cottage steps from a quiet beach.
This rustic-feeling cottage is perfect for two people who don't like resorts and who love quiet beaches. Highly recommended.

Loved every minute of our time here
Reviewed on 2015-05-12 by Cathy R. , Brookings, ORWe loved every minute of our time here. So glad we chose well. From our first stop at the kvr office to pick up our keys everyone had been so nice. The small town feel of the far north shore was perfect for us. We brought along a travel guitar and mandolin and the lanai became our music room. As we suspected, we sound much better in Kauai;). We take coffee pretty seriously and brought a hand grinder and drip maker but it was unnecessary. There is a grinder and ceramic drip brewer here as well as two other coffee makers. We love cooking and great ingredients and were perfectly happy with what was provided and what could be found locally. The only possible thing you might want to bring if you are a foodie is a good knife. We did the walk to tunnels for some great snorkeling at least once a day. It's about a half mile and a good workout in the soft sand but totally doable.
Quiet, private and an authentic homey feel
Reviewed on 2015-03-28 by Joel and John , Oakland, CAThe location on the north shore was great. It was quiet, private and it is authentic with a homey feel. Perfect for 2 people, close proximity to the beach. Hale Pua Kai is perfect; don't change a thing!
