Hula Hale is a lovely and spacious home which has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The complete new and modern kitchen has granite counters and a granite bar. There are hard wood floors throughout and the comfortable great room looking out at the mountains and jungle. There is a large deck that wraps around half of the house with lounge chairs where you can soak up the sun in the peace and quiet of the tropical surroundings. There are two tables with chairs and umbrellas where you can enjoy your breakfast to the sound of the many song birds in the jungle.
There is a queen bed in the master bedroom and two double beds in the second bedroom. There is a tub and shower in one bathroom and a shower in the other. There is cable tv, phone, wireless internet access, DVD player, CD player/radio, gas BBQ, and some beach gear is available. It can sleep up to 6 people, but is better with only 4. It is not suitable for children under 7 years.
The home is a short three minute walk to a white sandy beach with great snorkeling and swimming. Hula Hale is located on a side dirt road, not on the main highway. Across the dirt road is a large pasture with horses and cows and the mountains and jungle.
There is a large grassy yard which gives it plenty of privacy. There is a steep staircase going up to the house. It may not be suitable for older adults and it is not suitable for children 5 and under. For the safety of the guests, there are cameras on the outside of the house and in the yard. There are none inside the house. Being on a side dirt road it does not have any road noise from the main highway. It is only about 2 miles before the Na Pali Coast hiking trail where you can do easy day hikes, or go all the 12 miles to Kalalau Valley. There is a small coffee cafe and a restaurant just a 3 minute stroll away.
The eclectic town of Hanalei has a variety of restaurants and shops, a grocery store and a great natural foods store with a wide selection of organic produce. There is great surfing for all levels, from total beginner to the expert professional. Just up the hill, a 5 minute drive past Hanalei in Princeville is more shops, restaurants and another grocery store.

We just returned from a much needed getaway in Haena! Our favorite place on Earth! Our stay was relaxing and the home was beautiful! It was the perfect size for my husband and I, as well as our 2 friends who joined us for part of our stay. We appreciated that this home was stocked with items that helped make us feel more at home. The generous amount of kitchen utensils and appliances, as well as towels and laundry items were a plus. We enjoyed many meals outside on the Lanai while enjoying the beauty of the sunsets and sounds of the birds chirping. The location was perfect and within walking distance to our favorite beach where we were lucky enough to snorkel with many large turtles and other seal life. Acacia and Lonnie couldn't have been more helpful and attentive! When speaking with Lonnie over the phone I felt as though I was speaking to a life long friend! Overall we had a beautiful and memorable trip in this beautiful home! We would definitely stay time and time again! Also, as a side note, my husband and I thought that the time and effort that was put into the small details of the home were fantastic! They took the time to put together a binder full of useful information such as restaurants and the different activities you could do while on your trip. It also included phone numbers in case of an emergency. I felt this showed just how much care goes into ensuring their guests get the most out of their trip! We truly felt at home away from our home.

Beautifully appointed home in a dream location. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood just 5 minutes walk from the beach, this home is a perfect getaway. The home has comfortable living space and two private in suite bedrooms. The kitchen host top quality appliances and all one would need to cook. The a manager as well as the owner are incredibly responsive and attentive toneven the most trivial question. Top of the line experience and unquestionably the best vrbo in my experience with about two dozen properties

We had a lovely visit to Kauai and really enjoyed the Hula Hale house. We loved being able to walk to the beach from the house and everything we needed was provided. The house is a bit of a drive even to Hanalei Bay, but once we got used to that, it wasn't a problem. It's a lovely spot and one we hope to visit again!

We loved our stay. Great hosts who took care of our needs and a fantastic neighborhood! I was very comfortable and fell in love with the horses across the way and the birds on the property.

Great property set in a Jungle Mountain setting.
Perfect for getting away!
Beach toys were perfect for the beach activities

The house is located in a very quiet and private location with lovely unobstructed views of the mountain. You could tell that this was a very seasoned rental home that accommodated us with every possible need that we had and was meticulously clean and tidy. The beach at the end of the street was great for a quick dip and tunnels beach was a quick drive for the more adventurous. The drive to Hanalei bay was quite enjoyable.
Perfect to get away from it all.

This is a mixed review.
There is much to like about this home and location. Beach access was great. The close-by Hanalei Colony Resort provided access to restaurant meals and the shuttle that runs to Hā’ena Park. We loved our visit to the nearby Limahuli Garden & Preserve.
My son and I snorkeled daily, sometimes twice, at Tunnels Beach. The home itself is lovely, and well-designed. The two bed/bath areas are on opposite ends of the house—nicely private. The house is packed with interesting furnishings: beautiful old surf boards & grass skirts & art pieces on the walls. The garden is beautiful. It was a quiet neighborhood.
Considerations:
Unreliable clothes washer & dryer. Had to un-plug/reset several times each use.
No kitchen towels—had to use a bathroom face towel. No facial tissue supplied in bathrooms. (Seems picky, but we’ve never stayed in a place without these basics.)
Except for kitchen counters, there were no empty horizontal surfaces. All tables (side, dining, nightstands, etc.) were full of interesting decorative items (candles, jars of shells, etc). We had to move them all aside before we could sit down to a meal together or have a flat work surface. Felt awkward, not knowing how valuable the items were.
One sliding glass door off bedroom would not lock, no way to secure in spite of thre request to always lock up home when not present.
Appreciated your note to feed the fish on the lanai. But please advise guests about the ones down in the yard.

our stay at hula hale was fantastic. the house was beautifully decorated and well stocked with anything you needed. the proximity to beautiful beaches on the north shore was a plus. we rented bicycles from the bike doktor
which helped with the limited parking access to many of the beaches. highly recommend a boat tour of the napali coast also. everything was just stunning.

We had a wonderful weeklong stay here. A comfortable, beautifully located home, equipped with virtually everything you might need during your stay. Walking distance to at least a couple of uncrowded beaches, a big gift since the popular beaches can be hard to access due to limited parking. A couple of cautions for some folks: As advertised, the stairs are daunting — more than a full flight up. We’re in our mid-70s, in good though not athletic shape, and for us the stairs were manageable, though getting the luggage up and down was *not* easy. Also, no AC: The up side is that having the house open really brings the outside in, and the Kauai air is glorious. Down side: We were hot at moments. All in all, well worth the trade-off for us but perhaps not for everyone. The road from Hanalei is narrow, with several one-lane bridges, and there’s a good deal of traffic headed to Tunnels Beach and Haena State Park, but everyone was responsible and courteous. If you’re good with the stairs and no AC, this is a perfect getaway.

We loved this home. It was perfectly clean upon our arrival and so well stocked with everything you’d ever need. Lots of extra bath towels, beach towels, pillows and blankets. The location is perfect if you like the serenity of the north shore. It is about a 15 minute walk to tunnels, our favorite beach. A short drive to Hanalei and only a five minute walk to the restaurant at Hanalei colony resort. The kitchen is very well stocked, so we grilled most nights rather than go out.

Great house that is clean and located exactly where you'd want to be while visiting the north side of Kauai. Would and will stay here again. The host was fantastic!
