Hale Hina

Hale Hina, Haena
Permitted Vacation Rental Property - TVNC#1297
Transient vacation rental is located in the tsunami evacuation zone

Hale Hina is a luxurious, contemporary home that provides guests with a stunning ocean-based setting, high-end comfort and an ideal location. Just two hundred feet from the ocean, it is nestled among large palms and coconut trees that provide an estate-like feeling of privacy. Views of the ocean can be seen from the lanai, living room and master bedroom. Tasteful furnishings are found throughout the house and numerous decorative touches create a feeling of elegance and comfort throughout the home while sky lighted ceilings bring a heavenly glow inside.

This home is an easy walk to the world class Tunnels Beach, where you'll find some of the best snorkeling and swimming on Kauai. You can walk out of the house with your morning coffee, down a short garden path, and be on the beach in less than a minute enjoying a secluded ocean vista in nearly complete privacy. The short walk from the house to Tunnels Beach passes whitewater waves crashing along a crescent-shaped cove, and is one of the most beautiful beach walks in all of Hawaii.

This light and open home has three large, tastefully-decorated bedrooms (K,Q, Q+Day Bed) and three and a half bathrooms. The spacious master bedroom features a lovely ocean view and the huge master bathroom includes a double shower and a jetted tub. The bright, open kitchen is fully equipped, and the ocean-side lanai is perfect for dining or simply savoring the tropical ambiance and ocean views.

You'll also enjoy the extraordinarily large, travertine-tiled, furnished outdoor area complete with a ping pong table, Hawaiian daybed and fun environment to enjoy with friends.

From Hale Hina Homeowners:
Heaven. That’s what we think of Ha’ena. That’s why two families and close friends own Hale Hina – to own a slice of heaven. Welcome to our home. After many years vacationing in Ha’ena, our dream was to have a home of our own for our friends and families to enjoy for generations to come. Hale Hina is the realization of this dream, and transforming this house into our home has been our passion. That’s why when you stay at Hale Hina, it doesn’t feel like a rental property - it feels like home. Magic happens in Ha’ena, rain or shine. Sunrise, or sunset. We simply love this place. And we love our home. We are thrilled to share it with those who can appreciate the simplicity and majesty of Ha’ena and the warm, easy, comfortable accommodations that we’ve created at Hale Hina. Whether enjoying the ocean breezes from the deck, relaxing on the patio below the home, or sitting in the sand steps from the front door, we hope you discover the same joy and tranquility in Ha’ena and in our home.

  a guest from Pt Reyes Station , CA recommends this vacation rental

  I almost don’t want to give this great a review because it will get booked up!
  
  Everything about this home, management company and communication was about as good as it gets. We rent homes throughout Haena and this experience was probably the best experience we have had.
  
  Communication was excellent and polite. The folio they email had all necessary information for an easy check in. After traveling all day you’re hot, tired and you just want to be done and relax. The moment we walked through the door it was just that - Hawaiian music was playing, the air conditioner was on and was pleasantly cool, ambient lighting was on and above all it was clean and absolutely beautiful.
  The home was well equipped with everything you might need. It is a property we will rent again because we know this home and management company was outstanding. Enjoy the North Shore and stay here - you won’t be sorry.

  a guest from Hillsborough, NJ recommends this vacation rental

  Great stay for my group of 7. The home is tastefully decorated, has a kitchen with all cooking gear and is generally comfortable - plenty of room for 7. The location was fabulous - 1-2 miles from Tunnels beach and the state park and 2 minute walk to a beach where you can catch sunrise and sunset. Home has a full supply of beach chairs, umbrellas, pull cart and boogie boards - all were in good condition. Communication with the management team was easy and they were responsive. Only flaw was the grill igniter doesnt seem to work but we were able to light it manually. All told, a terrific home in one of the most beautiful areas I have ever visited.

  a guest from Glenvil, NE recommends this vacation rental

  The house is beautiful and just as pictured. The layout was perfect for the 3 couples in our group. Great kitchen, very well equipped. The view is amazing from the master bedroom and living room. We walked almost every morning ( one morning was raining, but with rain we were blessed with rainbows and waterfalls!) to the beautiful beach. WHAT A VIEW! This was our 3rd trip to Kauai and we have allays stayed on North shore. This was first time this far north but would definitely stay here again! It is more remote and you do have a drive to get to other beaches and attractions but to wake up in this morning and have the beach almost at your doorstep was well worth it. There never more then 5-6 other people on the beach. The property management team made check in and corresponding effortless.

    Aloha Tammy, Huge Mahalo for your complimentary review of Hale Hina, Haena. We are thrilled to hear that you had a relaxing stay in Haena and enjoyed this property, the view and the beach.

  This was our second stay in the house. The first was many years ago, before a major renovation. Both times, we loved the house because of its location and layout. Because all three bedrooms are spacious and have en suite baths, it is great for families or couples. The renovations are tasteful and lovely.

  Our stay at Hale Hina was a dream come true! The house was beautifully decorated and perfectly located for our group of 6. Everything we could need was provided and the morning views from the deck were breathtaking! We loved being able to walk along the beach just a short walk from the house. We loved cooking together in the large kitchen and hanging out in the covered area below. We especially loved how each bedroom had its own spacious bathroom! The air flowed through the home well and it was so peaceful!

  Kipp L recommends this vacation rental

  My guest and I have each traveled the world and been fortunate enough to have stayed in some fantastic places. This easily ranks up there with the very top. From the moment you arrive, after taking in the ridiculous view from the living room to the waves breaking, you realize how clean and spacious and modern the accommodations are and yet it feels warm and comfortable with just a subtle touch of island/surf decor. It really has everything you need. New appliances and beautiful kitchen and plenty of towels for beach and home. The ping-pong table, swing and beach chairs were surprise bonuses in the beautiful patio. Even a yoga mat! And most importantly, the location is fantastic. Just close enough to Hanalei to be convenient for the great restaurants and stores, but far enough out of town to feel away from the crowds, if there are any. A very short walk to the beautiful beach, and a short drive to some other stunning beaches as well. And every time you return after being out, it feels like a real home. Impeccably maintained by the management. Really wonderful. A slice of heaven. My only complaint is that the time flies by too quickly. Hope to return soon. Thank you! Aloha

  Nate T recommends this vacation rental

  Hale Hina is an exceedingly well-appointed house in a very special location. Outfitted with three bedrooms, laid out in a very private way, the house also contains two exterior common spaces, and a large interior common space.
  
  The location was pretty incredible. Not quite beachfront, but steps to the beach, it provides an excellent beach view across a neighboring property, and is surrounded by lush foliage, which provide a home to many birds and afford the home ample privacy.
  
  I highly recommend this house to anyone looking to stay in a more remote part of the island, with nearby access to what seems to be the most celebrated beach on the island, Tunnels.
  
  Makana was easy to work with, and I recommend booking with them directly (rather than a middleman like Airbnb) to save big on cost.

  My family and I spent a perfect 10 days in the magical Hale Hina, cooking nightly in the well- appointed kitchen or the downstairs bbq area, walking the 1/2 mile to Tunnels beach every day, and watching the sunset from our own wilder b a high nightly. The house itself is beautiful and well-stocked with beach chairs and umbrellas. While we did venture out for a hike or two , an ice cream cone in Hanalei bay, we were happy to come home to the peaceful beauty of Haena.

  Great week! Beautiful property on the edge of the island at the end of the road. We were thankful for relative privacy and seclusion. The property is very well maintained and has all conveniences down to minor issues such as full kitchen appliances/cookware and beach items including towels, folding chairs and snorkeling equipment. The local beach was perfect for our needs and again, saw minimal traffic. Only downside was the unpredictable two full days of brush clearing at the property next to us. Would definitely return.

  Eric C recommends this vacation rental

  Even before we boarded the plane back to California, we started thinking about reserving our next trip back to this house. The house had everything we needed for our family of 5 (two boys 10 & 8 and our 15 month old daughter). Hale Hina felt like home and was very comfortable. It was super nice to be a short walking distance to so many beautiful beaches...we didn't feel the need to "pack for the entire day" at the beach. We would go to the beach for an hour or two, head "home" to relax & eat, then head back out for more adventure & snorkeling. The kitchen was great for cooking but a sometimes I drove about 15 minutes to town for take-out and shaved ice for the boys. We can't wait to go back!!
