About this property

Gated cottage, 3 blocks to beach, A/C Close to Tunnels. Lots of 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. Perfect spot to enjoy this non-commercial area

Arrive at 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 an open floorplan with a remodeled kitchen and living area with high ceilings and split system AC. There is indoor dining for 4. and comfortable seating in the living area with 2 sofas and a large TV. Wireless internet and a flat-screen TV's provide entertainment.

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, double 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.

The top-level lanai has a full-sized washer/dryer, outdoor dining for 4 and additional cushioned seating..

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 a beach read. Steps away you will find the a gas BBQ pavilion. And tucked away in a private corner is a paved space with Adirondack chairs, dining table and 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 and we recommend you swim only at beaches with lifeguards. The county has expanded the lifeguard hours for your protection. 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. The cottage is located on the corner of the well- traved two lane and a quiet residential cul-de-sac. Tall hibiscus and palm trees muffle beach traffic during the day. There is little traffic at night.

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.

Access to Kee Beach requires a reservation. 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, please plan in advance.

Beautiful place, wonderful amenities. Nice to have laundry access given how rainy this part of the island is! Beds were comfortable and the space was clean. Check in was easy and clear. Good signage for WiFi and TV was appreciated. Nice to have beach gear to use while there!It’s a 15 minute drive to Hanalei Bay and there are several one lane bridges and some construction so just be wary of the road conditions.A lovely stay!

We have been coming to Kauai for over 25 years and this was by far the best accommodations. The house was clean, updated and had everything you could need. We stayed for two weeks, and didn’t want to leave. The owner is so accommodating and responsive. She is the best we’ve ever dealt with. We definitely will be back to this property as we loved everything about it.

House near Tunnel beach. Big house but not kept well. We arrived and the house was not cleaned. We found unmade beds, dirty restrooms, kitchen untidy, dishwasher with dirty plates and fridge with food left from the previous guest. We had to call the owner 4/5 times before she answered. And when she did she didn't even apologize for the mess. She sended a girl that did what she could, I had to take the kids to the beach because their were shocked by the experience and didn't want to stay!! My mother stayed below and waited. My mother checked the cleaning and pointed out it was still dirty (dead mosquitos, webbs and dirt on the patio floor). The owner decided to let her come the next day for a "deep cleaning". So the next day we had to leave the apartment so they could clean!! The space under the house was crowed with tables, sofas and chairs. Very untidy. The bine (waste) area in in full sight and was not emptied. We also found the washing machine full of dirty towels that we started and then also dry cleaned!! This is all unacceptable so I asked Vrbo of a refund of the cleaning fee. They accepted. Thank you Vrbo excellent client service!

About the host

Hosted by Donna

Host profile image
I purchased the property in 2001 and have worked on it tirelessly. It is nestled in a non commercial area.

Active vacation rental id TV 5153 We pay the required state tax under State tax number 087-152-0256-01R.

We have recently added a BBQ pavilion and have added to the outdoor room and quiet corner for sunbathing and relaxing.

Why they chose this property

We live 20 minutes away from property and are available to resolve issues. We purchased this home in 2001 and have worked tirelessly to improve. This is a very special, non commercial area. We want to respect the local residents who enjoy a quiet and peaceful environment with minimum traffic.

What makes this property unique

Walk to beach in an area where beach parking for visitors staying outside the area is very limited. The beach across from rental is Kepuhi Beach. It is a long beach walk to Tunnels but well-worth it . Beyond Tunnels there is Haena Beach Park and the beach at Kee and the Kalalau Trail. New rules for accessing Kee beach and the Kalalau hiking requires a ticket. Information for access is in the Rental Agreement. This home is in a cul-de-sac in a non-commercial area.
