Hale Koolau Estate

Hale Koolau Estate (Main House + Treehouse), Haena
Permitted Vacation Rental Property - Permit ID: TVNCU #1017 and TVNC #1018
Transient vacation rental is located in the tsunami evacuation zone

On the north shore of Kauai, Hale Koolau Estate sits behind wooden gates and among the tropical landscape of a private, half-acre (2023m2) lot. With spectacular views of Bali Hai (Mt. Makana) and just a short stroll to Tunnels (Makua) beach. Hale Koolau Estate invites guests to immerse themselves in an authentic island lifestyle.

The main home, Hale Koolau, is a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom getaway drenched in natural light and boasts an expansive, wraparound lanai, perfect for indoor/outdoor living. The master bedroom has a California King-size bed and en suite bathroom with a stone shower. The second bedroom has a queen-size bed. The large, third bedroom aka the bunk room is separate from the main house and can sleep up to nine guests and has an attached bathroom.

Hale Koolau's outdoor shower refreshes you after a day of hiking the cliffs of the Na Pali coast or an afternoon of swimming in the blue Pacific Ocean. Relax on the lanai, where views of emerald green mountains constantly remind you of the appeal of island life. Soak in the newly added hot tub after a day of play.

Canopied in tropical foliage is Hale Koolau Treehouse, the second home on the estate. Vacation like you’re living among the treetops in a charming and bright, one-bedroom/one-bath house on Kauai’s north shore. The Treehouse is complete with all amenities including Air Conditioning.

This cozy island getaway features a large master suite with a king-size bed and private lanai. The Rainforest granite, hand-made copper sinks and full-size washer and dryer make this treehouse lush with modern amenities and style.

Enjoy the island life when you take in the spectacular mountain views from the lanai, grill on the BBQ, or refresh yourself in the outdoor shower.

Take a short stroll to Tunnels (Makua) beach, best known for snorkeling, surfing, and sunsets. No need to leave Haena to explore the Maniniholo Dry Cave or hike the rugged Na Pali Coast. Wander to world-famous Hanalei town, just a 10-minute drive away, for restaurants and shopping.

Escape civilization and enjoy paradise at the private retreat known as Hale Koolau Estate.

  John B from Pacific Grove, CA recommends this vacation rental

  Enjoyed our annual family retreat (15 of us) for a week at Hale Ko'olau (used the main house and the tree house). Everything was wonderful. Ke'e, Tunnels, Hanalei, Lydgate, Kalihiwai, Kilauea, just WOW. The estate was perfect for us (and the grandkids especially enjoyed the large grassy area and the underneath part of the house. All the beach gear was a welcome surprise, too! Wifi worked well. AC worked well. Private yet located in a wonderful neighborhood. Makana Kauai staff were VERY helpful and responsive. Nothing but 100% praise from this very grateful family. Aloha and Mahalo!

  We had a wonderful time in a beautiful home that perfectly fit the needs of our 13 member family. We were near the ocean with a great view of the mountains. It had everything we needed for our beach excursions and our family needs. The home was exactly as described, clean and very well maintained. We highly recommend this facility for your family gatherings.

  This home was perfect for 6adults and 7 kids. The bunk house is separate from the main house and tree house. Everyone had ample space to enjoy. The kitchen was very well supplied for a large group. The grounds were beautiful and great to let the kids play in. Very quiet and secure.

  brittany c from lehi, UT recommends this vacation rental

  We hosted a womens retreat here and it fit our needs well. The location is beautiful, a two minute walk to the beach, and close to some of the islands best hiking trails. The tree house was adorable and the multiple kitchens onsite was such a nice feature of the home. The only thing that was a annoyance was that both houses have great AC but the bunk room
  That sleeps the most people didn’t have AC. There were also a lot
  Of bugs that were in there. The combo impeded on peoples sleep.

  • Manager Responded on 10/17/2022

    Thank you Brittany for taking the time to write a review on Hale Koolau Estate. We enjoyed hearing that you enjoyed the home and that it fit your needs. The owners are looking to add A/C to the bunk room for added comfort. Mahalo for staying at Hale Koolau Estate.

  It's been a month since our trip to Kauai and not a day goes by that we don't think about returning to this lovely home in this lovely part of the world.
  
  The property and its management staff were excellent. Our 3 families stayed comfortably and enjoyed the incredible beaches within walking distance and relatively easy drive to great food options nearby.
  
  Recommended stay!

  • Manager Responded on 10/11/2022

    Mahalo Jordan! We loved hosting you and your 'Ohana at Koolau Estate and enjoyed hearing that you think about Kauai often. We are glad to be a part of your island vacation. Return soon.

  This place is wonderful, all the way around. The location is great, nestled in a beautiful neighborhood with dramatic mountain views and a short walk to a beautiful beach. The homes very comfortably slept 12 of us and the outdoor spaces are on the property are great for family and game activities. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

  Hale Ko'olau is MAGICAL inside and out! Perfect for our family and walking distance to Tunnels Beach. This is the most beautiful location in the world. We love this beautiful estate and would return in a heartbeat. The check-in and check-out process was easy and the Makana Properties team was very helpful and friendly. Honestly our trip could not have been more perfect.

  Anu C from Honolulu, HI recommends this vacation rental

  Honestly the photos of this property do not do this property enough justice. We rented the main house and the treehouse unit for our large group of 13. It was clean, spacious, and beautifully designed. Beach towels, snorkel masks, fins, coolers, beach umbrellas were included. Makana Properties were very responsive and answered all questions I had promptly. They sent detailed instructions which made check in and check out very easy. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend this estate!

  Chelsey H recommends this vacation rental

  This property is even more beautiful in person. The location is absolutely breathtaking with the mountains in view. Being able to walk to the beach and spend time outside on the grass felt so nice. We loved every minute here and were so sad to leave. It held a large group of us very comfortably. The space had everything we needed and more. Every detail has been carefully thought out here. It truly does feel like a home away from home. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for the most magical place on north shore.

  • Manager Responded on 3/5/2021

    Thank you Chelsey for your 5-star review on Haena Hale Estate! We enjoyed hearing that you enjoyed your stay on all levels and that you had a magical time. We hope that you are able to return and visit in the near future.
