Haena Sunrise, Great Mountain & Waterfall Views, 2-Minute Walk to Beach
Live the ultimate Kauai experience in this luxe and spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath airy tropical house.
Designed from the ground up as the ultimate tropical vacation home, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home in the idyllic community of Haena, pampers you with the soothing sounds of the surf, five-star amenities and some of the most awe-inspiring views along the North Shore of Kauai.
Spread across a generous 2,600 square feet, this home’s ideal location puts visitors within easy reach of beaches revered internationally by surfers, swimmers and sailors. Not only is it a leisurely two-minute walk to the nearest waves, but it’s also just down the road from the world-famous Tunnels Beach, Kauai’s snorkeling nirvana. Venture further to experience the dramatic beauty of the Na Pali Coast, or just look out your windows at waterfalls trickling down Mount Makana.
You’ll have more than 800 square feet of covered, luxuriously furnished lanai (what some call a porch) surrounding the house, tempting you outdoors at all hours. Settle in to a deeply padded wicker chair to sip Kona coffee at sunrise, sip a lilikoi fruit smoothie in the afternoon or grill the catch of the day as the skies turn golden during the latest sunset in the United States.
Inside, the home’s open floor plan brings mountain and garden views into the combined kitchen, living and dining area, where you’ll routinely gather to recount the day’s adventures. On the breakfast bar, find a gift basket of local artisan chocolate, Hawaiian spices and discount coupons that will ease your introduction to favorite Kauai treats and adventures—ice cream, bike rentals and a catered dinner. If you need more ideas, leaf through our book of suggestions for hiking, dining and sightseeing, or borrow our beach gear for a day of sunny recreation.
Throughout the house, strategically located windows open to the cooling ocean breezes and bring a light, airy atmosphere to every room. Spacious bedrooms on opposite wings provide ample privacy for groups of couples, friends or families of up to six people. The 12-foot cathedral ceilings and multiple seating areas add to the sense of space.
You’ll immerse in a distinct island experience here. Original island artwork—paintings, carvings, sculpture—captures the tropical beauty. Furnishings are high quality, but casual enough for shorts and flip-flops. You can even bathe under balmy tropical breezes in the enclosed, hot-water outdoor shower.
Each bedroom is arranged for comfort and convenience. The master suite has a king bed, walk-in closet, dressing area, adjoining bathroom and access to a lanai. From the front guest room’s queen bed and lanai, you can gaze at the every-shade-of-green terrain. The second guest bedroom also has access to a lanai and offers cozy quiet and two twin beds that can convert to a king.
In no time, you’ll be living like a local, stocking up on impossibly fresh sushi and shopping the farmers markets for exotic fruits and vegetables that you whip into smoothies and cocktails. With a kitchen outfitted for the most discerning chefs, you’ll be turning out quick meals on the barbecue gas grill with ease. You won’t lack for indoor entertainment with a 42-inch flat-screen television with surround sound, a DVD player and high-speed Wi-Fi.
In anticipation of our guests’ every need, the electronic front door locks require no keys to pick up, share or return. The kitchen is fully stocked. The laundry room features an over-sized washer, dryer and large pantry.

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. ***

IT WAS BEYOND RELAXING! BEAUTIFUL WEATHER, GREAT VIEWS AND LOTS OF BEACH TIME.
Very comfortable. Close to the beaches. Everything needed to enjoy a great stay. Many thanks to Kauai Vacation Rentals for changing the twin beds to a king bed with short notice. 😀😀
The photos don’t do it justice. Open and airy with comfy lanai seating out facing mountains or in back listening to surf. So well equipped- there was nothing this house didn’t have. Really impressed with rental agency as well. They hooked us up with concierge service to help cater a family anniversary celebration. Walking to the beach each morning was another plus. I don’t hesitate one moment in booking this place if you are looking for relaxation and beauty a bit off the main tourist path.

Wonderful stay in beautifully appointed home with all the amenities you would need. Kitchen, in particular, was very well stocked with cooking and dining needs.Very clean and a gorgeous view of the mountains. Beach gear and towels were much appreciated.
An absolutely wonderful house in tropical location. The house is well stocked with everything you would need. They’ve thought of everything with all the little extras. The views of the mountains are breathtaking. The beach is a short walk / drive away. Tunnels Beach is amazing with fantastic snorkeling on the reef. This house is a little remote which we loved. Town is a short drive away with shops and restaurants. If we’re ever lucky enough to return to Kauai, we would definitely stay here again.

We loved the remote feeling, the towering mountains to the west and the roar of the ocean at night. The house was large, comfortable and had everything we needed. The walk to the ocean was very easy and the proximity to Haena Beach and the Dry Cave was great. And also, Hanalei Town was so close. It felt like a real “Hawaiian experience “ and it was.

We totally appreciated and enjoyed our stay at Haena Sunrise. The house is spacious, has great deck areas with wonderful views of the Mountains & surrounding neighborhood. Beach access is via the neighboring easement which is close and easy. Our favorite beach Tunnels is close-by. For privacy there is good separation between bedroom wings and open living areas.
2 wonderful decks to hang out on, majestic view of mountain, close walk to beach, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, and very clean

Overall this property was wonderful. It accommodated the 4 of us quite well.U may not be able to do anything about this however the pocket door to the bathroom was quite noisy. Personally, one of the bedrooms could use a mirror above the dresser.
This pristine home was absolutely perfect for our family trip with our two adult sons. It was our second time staying in Haena, and our first time at this home. The abundant windows, and gorgeous views allowed us to enjoy the beautiful North Shore of Kauai at all times…while cooking dinner, relaxing on the Lanais, and even laying in bed! High quality linens, comfortable beds and furniture, a well stocked kitchen, and the friendly and prompt management team were all greatly appreciated. The owners provide an informative guidebook, with great dining recommendations. We hope to come back to this home again and again.
The house is beautiful- looking at the mountain. Large, with lots of space for our group of 6. Gorgeous outdoor dining and grill - we had all our meals outside. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. Property manager was helpful and communicative. Best location! 2 minute walk to the beach. 5 minute drive or 20 minute beach walk to Tunnels Beach.
We loved this house — we’ve been to the area many times and this was an excellent house in this price range… highly recommend! Can’t wait to come back! Xo
