Top Kalalau Lookout Hotel Reviews

Gated cottage, 3 blocks to beach, A/C Close to Tunnels. Lots of outdoor space

10/10 Excellent

"Donna was wonderful. Very communicative, helpful, and nice. The kitchen and amenities of the house were great and made our stay very comfortable. Highly recommend."

Hanalei Colony Resort

10/10 Excellent

"It was a nice quiet resort with not a lot of people around which was nice for our honeymoon. I didn’t realize how far north the resort is and far from a lot of the activities we wanted to do. The unit was perfect for us but it definitely was outdated. The main bathroom shower head was terrible. It was really close to a private beach but not really safe for swimming due to the waves."

Beachfront Luxury Home, Panoramic Ocean Views, Walk To Tunnels Beach TVNCU-1214

10/10 Excellent

"Truly the most perfect house on the most perfect spot of the north shore if Kauai--incredible views, beautiful swimmable beach. The house and everything in it is top quality, lovely and an incredible space to relax and enjoy Haena with family and friends. Leila is an amazing host who is incredibly responsive and helpful with anything you need. We've stayed at several homes on the beach in Haena and KAULANA NAUE is by far the best."

Hale Haena Kai - Island Home, near beach TVNC#5154

10/10 Excellent

"This house is amazing!! Has everything you could need and more! Really appreciated little things like beach chairs, boogie boards, laundry detergent being stocked… only thing that was a little tricky is the master bedroom is separated by a breezeway, an outside breezeway… so if you have small children it is tricky to have both adults sleep in that room. Otherwise house is special, walking distance to the beach, a cute little coffee shop, quick drive to tunnels beach and more!"

Nohonani - a 1br/2ba home with mountain views in Wainiha

10/10 Excellent

"Chose this Vrbo for the view, and the wife was a big fan of the place. The AC in the bedroom was very effective, and the place would have been too hot had it not been working, so we really liked having the AC. If you are wanting to do a drive up to the canyon there aren't many places that will be a further drive, but the drive wasn't too long for us, and we got to stay on the North Shore, which we discovered was our favorite part of the island! We would stay again."

Paddle to the Beach from a Secluded Riverfront Eden-A/C-Central to Hanalei&Ke'e

10/10 Excellent

"Really enjoyed our stay in River Estates. Mark was more than helpful to arrange anything I asked for...SUP's for the week, zodiac boat trip last minute, and helping us navigate the shuttle to Ha'ena State Park. Hanalei had a great farmer's market we hit up the first day to stock up on local produce as well as being a cool town to cruise around. The SUP's were great for paddling down to the private beach area, but there are also many beaches very close by to visit as well. The house was very clean and perfect for our needs. It felt like living in the jungle for a week. If it wasn't a 22 hour journey, we'd be back again soon!"

Tunnels Beach short walk, AirConditioned home TVR 1344 , TAT 000-961-1264-01

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing trip. The house was PERFECT. It has everything you need and more. There was attention to detail and the conveniece items are too numerous to list. The host dropped off a new umbrella and beach chair while we were out. We immediately noticed how clean the house was and very welcoming. The walk to Tunnels is very short and using the wagon made it so easy to take the beach gear. Communication with the host was friendly, timely, and professional. We will be back to this home for our next Kauai visit."

Hale Pua Kai, Comfortable Hawaiian Style Home

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at Hale Pua Kai now four times in the past 7 years. It is the sweetest north shore hideaway you can imagine. The kitchen is well-stocked with cooking/eating tools. The house is cool inside even when it's hot outside. It has an "old Hawai'i" vibe that is just so pleasant. You have easy access to Kepuhi (10 minute walk) and Tunnels (15 minutes walk), both excellent snorkeling beaches. The one thing that was disappointing is the bed, which is a bit soft and sagging. My husband was ok with it but I was less comfortable. However, it is not a deterrent! Hale Pua Kai is our home away from home, and we will be going there every year for as long as we can! Thank you, KVR, for being such excellent hosts."

Kauai Tree House - Nestled Along a Stream with Tropical Surroundings.

10/10 Excellent

"The treehouse was simply wonderful, just what my family was looking for. The roosters were a bit loud and took getting used to, but we felt like we were in the forest. Gorgeous property and location, we would definitely come back to stay again. Thank you!"
