Paddle to the Beach from a Private Family Retreat-A/C-Central to Hanalei & Ke'e

The Riverhouse at River Estate is a warm and inviting three-bedroom, two-bathroom sanctuary thoughtfully designed to blend timeless Hawaiian charm with modern comforts—perfect for families seeking both relaxation and adventure on Kauai’s North Shore. Inside, the spacious master suite offers a serene retreat with a Roku TV and a full bathroom, while the second bathroom features a stylish glass-enclosed tub and shower. Throughout the home, split system air conditioning and ceiling fans ensure a cool, comfortable atmosphere no matter the season.

The gourmet kitchen, with granite countertops and full appliances, invites you to prepare fresh island meals that can be enjoyed riverside on the screened main lanai, complete with a BBQ grill. Each bedroom boasts quality Persian rugs and vintage hardwood furniture from the 1930s and ’40s, alongside authentic vintage Hawaiian artwork that adds soul and character to the space. Rich cherry hardwood floors flow through the living areas, while textured Chinese tile graces the kitchen and bathrooms, creating a beautiful blend of elegance and island style.

The living room features a premium Tommy Bahama bamboo set and is equipped with high-speed internet, a Roku TV, books, games, and a wifi speaker to keep everyone entertained and connected.

Adventure awaits you at the house as well. if you choose to explore the area via the river it will take you only 10 minutes to paddle easily to a secluded beach thats pristine and crowd-free anytime you want.

Beautiful property and location. Well equipped kitchen with an air fryer. Ceiling fans throughout and a/c in each of the bedrooms. Mark is a very accommodating host who arranged for us to rent bikes and had them delivered. Lovely screened in lanai. Small market within walking distance. Had a great day on a short bike ride to Tunnels Beach where we snorkeled for the day.

A magical house on the North Shore of Kauai with easy access to Haena State Park for hiking, Tunnels beach for snorkeling and all that Hanalei has to offer (beach, restaurants, equipment rental, etc.). The kitchen is well-outfitted, the rooms comfortable and there are beach chairs, a boogie board and some floats available for use. The owner was super communicative and helpful. We would stay there again.

The river house was perfect for our group. First, it was immaculate. Literally sparkling clean. Second, the beds were comfortable (firmer mattress). Third, the house was comfortable and had everything we needed to cook meals. If you are looking for a different Hawaiian experience, one more authentic and away from the resorts, this home is perfect. It’s a short drive from the BEST beaches on the island (the North Shore is where it is at), a short drive to Hanalei town and Haena State Park (stunning). The house feels private and is peaceful. The only drawback (which is very small and I only mention because others did) is that occasionally, the dogs in the adjacent neighborhood really get going and become a barking choir for a few minutes. It never bothered us. Thanks for hosting us, Mark!

Great place to stay!

Property was as advertised and well equipped. The location is fairly tucked away on a small river with two beaches close by. There was a small general store and coffee shop close by which were handy to avoid extra trips to Hanalei. Mark was very responsive so check in and out were simple. Would recommend.

Wonderful Stay at the River House

My family of six had a wonderful stay at the River House. Having access to the beach via the river was one of the reasons we chose this home, and that did not disappoint. Also, I enjoyed meeting Mark and you can tell from your first interaction that he really wants to be involved and help you enjoy his home. He had the kayaks and paddle boards that we had rented there and ready for us to get into the water when we arrived, and his concierge fee to do this for us was not too bad. The fresh, cool, clear water of the river was refreshing and almost each day of our stay we would make the 5 minute paddle to the beach. We enjoyed the freshwater side of the beach but the ocean side is not really a swimming beach (were told by several locals not to go on the ocean side due to this being called “Shark Beach.”) We rented houses on four different Hawaiian islands this trip, and the River House was definitely one of our favorites. I will agree with the other reviews that the dogs are very loud when they get wound up, but having AC in the bedrooms was fantastic, and when we shut the windows and turned in the AC you don’t notice the outside noises. I will also agree with other reviews that there are more rules with this house than any other we stayed at, but that did not hamper our enjoyment of this home. We got good at taking off our shoes before climbing the stairs! If you want an authentic island experience out of the hustle and bustle, I think you will great enjoy Marks place!!

Jungle retreat

We stayed in the River house in May of 2025. Mark's property is very charming and isolated. House is a little dated but very well maintained and clean. He has a state of the art tesla power system and other mechanicals seem to be very updated. Location is great if you prefer privacy, dive to Hanalei takes 10 to 15 minutes over windy roads that are very dark at night. This is mentioned in other reviews but Kauai has a extensive population of wild chickens, and the rosters get very vocal about 3am. The neighbors either have a lot of dogs or are a kennel of some kind so be prepared for barking in the morning. We mitigated the noise by closing windows in the bedrooms at night and running the AC, noise machines were available in each bedroom but we did not use them.Mark has an extensive list of rules for the property and we did our best to be respectful and follow the rules to the point that it did not impede our comfort. Kid’s joked it’s like the “Nick Saban commercial.” Energy usage seems to be a big concern, and this is closely monitored, you will receive a call if abused we did, although it was apparently a false alarm.

Feel Like a Local!

The River House was a perfect oasis for me and my family. Having visited Hanalei many times over the past decade, we were already very familiar with the area and choice of accommodations. While some condos have fantastic ocean views (which we prioritized when we first came to this area), we wanted more space (kids no longer little), air conditioning in the evenings, privacy, quiet, beauty and a convenient location to everything we love about Hanalei. We didn't miss the ocean view one bit - it was just a paddle up the river from the property. We had total privacy in the middle of a gorgeous tropical garden, beautiful scents after the rainfall, birdsong and peace. The house was spotless, the beds were extremely comfortable, and we had lots of room to spread out. We cooked some lovely meals and felt "at home". We were just a few minutes walk to the local shop for the basics - such friendly folks there, where you can also hop onto the Haena State Park shuttle. We were a few minutes' drive from our favorite beach (Lumaha'i) where the fresh water from the river meets a gorgeous surf, and less than 10 min drive from Hanalei town center. Mark arranged delivery of the paddleboards as well as the gear to attach to our rental car. Wi-Fi worked great. We wouldn't hesitate to return to pretend we were locals for just a few days!

What a WONDERFUL property. I have visited Kauai many times and appreciate the peace and tranquility of being at 'the end of the road' as the locals refer to this part of the island. There is a river running through the property that changes its nature daily. Every morning I sat to meditate in my room, opened the doors to the lanai and listened to the flow of the river. Deep peace and tranquility doesn't even begin to sum up the experience. Mark is a fantastic host and I hope you enjoy this property as much as my family did. Mahalo

Amazing River Retreat

I would like to tell you that this is a horrible place to stay... but it is not horrible. It is quite wonderful. Mark has arguably one of the best VRBO's my family and I have stayed at. Well appointed in every aspect. We prepared almost every meal during our stay and the kitchen has everything we needed.The bedrooms are spacious and the beds comfortable. Whatever amenity we needed was provided. This was the perfect place for us. Off the beaten path right down the river from the beach. From the sounds of birds in the morning, to the lush jungle smells of the evening, this is truly an oasis.Communication with Mark was great, and is what you would expect from a top notch VRBO host. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your River Estate, Mark. We will be back.

Beautiful home in a beautiful location

River Estate is a beautiful home about 15 minutes (driving) from Hanalei. I chose this home because we wanted a quiet place to relax after a difficult year, and River Estate hit the mark. The house is beautiful and clearly loved. The kitchen is very well equipped (more so than most I've seen) with an air fryer, toaster, blender, microwave, food processor (most of which we didn't have a chance to use) and very complete set of dishes and glassware. Furniture is comfy, and we ate all of our meals on the screened lanai overlooking the river and the trees. Very relaxing! Bathrooms are well stocked with towels, and there are beach towels as well. We never had a chance to float down the river to the private beach but we could catch a glimpse of it from the road, and it would have been a great place to check out. Alas, when traveling with a little one walking on the road isn't a good option. There are only 3 houses on the property and we didn't actually ever see the people, it's very private. When arriving (especially the first day), be sure to use Mark's instructions, they were perfect. It really is JUST before the two bridges and you will miss it if you aren't watching. Mark was very helpful in solving any problem that came up for us. We were traveling with our 13 month old grandson (for the first time) and Mark was able to rent a crib and high chair for us, which was great, as we had enough stuff to bring for the baby without trying to bring those!We really enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful Property, Stunning Location

Our family of 4 stayed at River Estates mid to late October and enjoyed everything about it. This was our first family vacation and our first time on Kauai. We opted for the North Shore after reading about different areas and we are so glad we did. We travelled all over the island during our stay and found the North Shore to be the most beautiful. The house itself had everything we needed. The kitchen was fully stocked, Mark (the owner) was very responsive and helpful (the coffee maker stopped working our second day and he kindly brought a new one to the house within an hour), everything was in working order, it was spotless, there are tangerine and orange trees in the yard that we picked fruit from every morning, and most importantly the yard and location were breathtakingly beautiful. I can't begin to describe it and the pictures don't really do it justice. My children and I walked the driveway and neighborhood in the morning surrounded by beautiful plants and trees, a river running behind the property, and mountains in the background. The house feels isolated in a good way, being surrounded by nature, but is only a short drive from the center of Hanalei where we did a lot of our shopping and dining. We hiked Ha-ena State Park, which was close to the house and WORTH VISTING. We were close to several of the beaches we wanted to visit. In summary, this was a perfect location for us and the house was clean, comfortable and beautiful. We hope to be back!!!
