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.

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.

The house is exactly as described, and was perfect for our stay. The property is well-maintained, with many thoughtful amenities.Donna is a very helpful and proactive host who makes herself available should guests require assistance.The house is in a remote location, which we were aware of, and was why we chose to stay here. It is walkable to excellent beaches, and a 15-ish minute drive to Hanalei for restaurants and groceries.

This is a lovely house in a lovely spot. Close to the great beaches of the north shore while still just a short drive to Hanalei. The place was clean. The kitchen well equipped. Fans and a/c galore, absolutely ice cold when we walked in! (We kept it much higher after that.) There's plenty of sitting areas in the house, on the balcony, and down the bottom. And the beach gear and snorkelling gear was in good condition and was good quality. For a party looking for two bedrooms, this is the perfect choice.

We had a wonderful stay at the property on our sixth trip to the island. Having stayed in Poipu, Kapa'a, and Princeville, this was one of our favorite locations and properties. The cottage was as advertised. The outdoor spaces were plentiful, the living/dining room was very comfortable, and the proximity to the beach could was convenient. We would be happy to stay here again.

Renovated House close to beaches

Although the house is close to the main road (some noise during the day) it is a good point to explore the beaches by foot. Swimming/snorkeling is only possible at Tunnels beach. Go early by car or take time and walk along the beach. walking the parallel roads is comfortable.

If you know you know…

Walk to tunnels beach from your place, check. Walk to Napali Coast and hike, check. Stay away from the crowd with quiet, check. Great AC, great space and rooms, WiFi, and lounge area, check. There are very few places you can find this after visiting this island many times. I highly recommend, including Donna who was very reliable and a pleasure to work with. If you want a real local experience not a resort with thousands of people, I highly encourage you to stay here.

Short stay in March

Our family of 4 stayed here for 3 nights and it was perfect. Loved the location and the property itself. I felt so relaxed here, like it was home. It was a short walk to a beach where you could walk down to Tunnels if you wanted to. Traffic and construction made it a little tough to get to Hanalei and east shores, but we still did it and enjoyed our time there. Times flies while you’re on vacation and this was one I definitely didn’t want to end. The place was wonderful and when I make it back to Kauai, this is where I’ll stay.
