Description

This spacious, renovated home is nestled on the lush, tropical north shore of the "Garden Island" of Kauai. Wainiha Palms is down a long driveway, surrounded by a big lawn with many mature fruit trees on more than 3/4 acre of land. Enjoy this peaceful, secluded setting with just you and your special someone, or bring family and friends to share the wonder of this special part of paradise.

Two large lanai, one open and one covered, offer plenty of space to enjoy the great outdoors. Youngsters will love the big, open space for running around and playing outdoor games.

Your kitchen is fully equipped with more than just the essentials making it easy to dine at home. You will probably want to make good use of your BBQ for grilling your favorite foods including fresh, island fish. Be sure to visit at least one of Kauai's Sunshine Markets (farmer's markets) that take place in a different town each weekday. You'll find lots of fresh, local produce to complement other ingredients for tasty, culinary treats.

When you feel like eating out, there are a number of wonderful cafes and restaurants within a 10-minute drive and even more just a few minutes further in Princeville.

Activities nearby include touring Limahuli Gardens (a National Tropical Botanical Garden), hiking, biking, seasonal swimming, snorkeling, wind-surfing, surfing, boat tours, fishing, kayaking, horseback riding, and more.

*** Cancellation Policy *** Cancellations require at least a 30 day written or email notice prior to your check-in date for a full refund of your deposit. Notice at least 14 days prior to check in will receive a 50% refund. If less than 14 day notice, the rent, excise tax and reservation processing fee are forfeited. ***

We loved this home. Our large family of 4 kids and 2 adults fit very comfortably. The screened in porch was our favorite spot to relax in, with all the lush beautiful landscaping all around us. Quick drive to Tunnels and Lumahai beach.

Mahalo nui loa for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear your family loved the home and that it provided a comfortable and peaceful retreat. We’d be delighted to welcome you and your family back for another relaxing getaway in paradise! Aloha!

North Shore Jungle Paradise

The location of the property is fantastic for those who like to stay out near Kauai's best beaches, enjoy the tranquility of being off the beaten path, and for those that love the tropical foilage the North Shore of Kauai has to offer. The property starts with a beautiful manicured jungle driveway to a property that is well manicured and full of beautiful tree's and plants. The house is well stocked for those that like to cook, and has a new BBQ as well. The house itself is large and spacious. The screened in Lanai was a phenomenal place to relax and listen to the rain, and enjoy morning coffee's and afternoon mai tais. The sliding glass doors throughout the house were definetly needed, as the one drawback from the properties location is its location and the fact that you do not get a strong ocean breeze and the house will get quite hot in the tropical afternoon sun. Our family enjoyed the stay at Waniha Palms and would come back again!

We stayed in this home 20 years ago and it hasn't changed, which is good and bad. What we love the most is the location on the North Shore. It's close to Tunnels Beach, Ke'e Beach, and Hanalei Bay. The size of the home is perfect for our family of four. Beds are comfortable, but the King bed is on the soft side. We really appreciated the use of the beach chairs and beach towels. The property is beautifully landscaped and very private. What we struggled with the most with this house is the afternoon to evening heat. The house is on very tall beams and gets blasted by the sun, especially on the deck and master bedroom. There are a lot of fans but no A/C. We typically went out in the am and came back in the afternoon before we headed out to dinner but it was swelteringly hot in the home. We wanted to use the grill to cook, but it was too hot on the deck to imagine cooking on it. We tried to use the stove but one of the large burners did not work. The furniture suits the style of the house, but the kitchen chairs are falling apart. Despite loving the location, we won't be renting again due to the excessive heat.

Manager's Response

Mahalo for sharing your thoughtful and detailed feedback. It’s wonderful to hear that the North Shore location remains a highlight for you and your family. We appreciate you sharing your experience, and we apologize for the inconveniences you mentioned. We hope we might welcome you back to another property better suited to your preferences in the future. Aloha!

My husband and I had a wonderful time at Wainiha Palms. The home is spacious and well-appointed. Living on the second floor allowed us to enjoy the garden and beautiful flowers. The home is at the end of the road and very quiet -- except for the roosters, which I totally enjoyed. My only recommendation would be to add a bigger sign so one can find the driveway. It took us three tries to find the turn-off in the dark. The staff of Kauai Vacation Rentals were very helpful at 9 p.m. that first night. We had a beautiful time.

Manager's Response

Mahalo nui loa for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you and your husband enjoyed your stay and appreciated the peaceful setting. We appreciate the suggestion. We hope to welcome you back to paradise again soon! Aloha!

I would describe this place as remote but with close neighbors. It is too Dangerous to walk on the road because it is so narrow. If you have a car you can get around just fine. You will be right around the corner from some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. One of the highlights for us was the geckos taking care of any bug problems inside the house. They were so cute and shy. The garden is beautiful and full of all sorts of exotic plants and flowers. Each beach on this side of the island has different fish. Ke-e Beach has the most turtles. It is also home to giant schools of tropical fish just inside the reef. This house will keep you out of the flood zone because it is built on stilts 20 feet off the ground. That’s great in the winter. If nature is your thing, this is the place for you.

Our family of four stayed here for 3 weeks in July. We really liked our stay! Things we liked the most include the quiet, secluded property with lots of privacy, the great location midway between Hanalei and Ha'ena/Ke'e Beach and close to two of our favorite beaches - Lumahai and Tunnels, the spacious and comfortable house, the beautiful and lush garden, and the screened-in lanai. There were lots of mosquitos so bring your bug spray if you want to hang out outside.

We come to Kauai every summer and usually stay in Princeville. We wanted to try something else and this place was fabulous. We liked it so much that we booked it for next summer!

We stayed at the Wainiha Palms rental property on Kauai.
There were some really lovely things about this house. It was private, spacious, and had a large and useful kitchen. There were 2 king sized beds, one queen sized bed, lots of couches and chairs. The bathrooms were clean. The laundry machines were great. There were beach chairs and umbrellas at the property. Also plenty of towels.

The rental agency was very helpful. We needed a package delivered partway through our trip, and they stayed late at the office so we could pick it up. The trash wasn't picked up 2 weeks in a row, but when we called, someone came and got it the same day.

They also put us in touch with a company that rents children's equipment, and that was very easy. We were able to avoid bringing a pack-and-play, stroller, beach toys, and a pop-up beach tent because we could rent them.

There were a lot of flaws, however, with staying here. Some were controllable, some were not:

- One review of the house mentioned it having air conditioning. It does have 2 portable a/c units. They are not installed, and do not have the accordions to seal the windows or doors. My husband tried to set them up and seal the gaps with pillows, and while they blew cold air, they were not enough to chill the kitchen/living room area. When we tried to use them, we saw the temperature reach 92 degrees one afternoon. The last couple of days we finally set one up in the bedroom so we could sleep and then we didn't want to spend any time in the rest of the house - might as well have gotten a hotel room. The listing does not mention the A/C, so we shouldn't have expected it. Air conditioning was still a primary reason why we chose this rental and we were disappointed.

I’m out of characters but also reviewed this house on vrbo for full notes.

We had a fantastic time staying in this well appointed house. The setting was amazing - a private and beautiful tropical garden yet close enough to all the things to do on the North Shore. One of our favorite things to do was to come back at the end of a thrilling day of outdoor adventure to make dinner together and share the stories of the day. A magical way to spend a family vacation! We loved it so much we are already planning the next time we will be back.

The amenities including washer and dryer were very useful. The environment and location were also most suitable as we felt part of the local surroundings. Our family was seeking - and found - a home to be part of Kauai. This home allowed us to experience the island and people in a natural way - much preferred over a resort atmosphere. KVR was very thorough in providing information as we arrived on the island and via email before our vacation.They were also quite helpful when the kitchen sink became plugged.

We enjoyed the close proximity to North shore beaches and trails, the lanai, the grill, the fruit bearing trees, the hammock, and overall set up of the screened lanai.

Enclosed lanai was fantastic

Appreciated the seclusion. The grounds were beautiful and the enclosed lanai was fantastic.

The feeling of being surrounded by the jungle was nice

The covered lanai is amazing; we ate dinner out there many times. Easy access to the beach/river and other activities was great. The feeling of being surrounded by the jungle was nice.
