Welcome to The Riverhouse at River Estate….
The River Estate Riverhouse and Guest House have had a River Estate website since 1995. That makes us one of the very first vacation rentals on the internet. We are still here and better than ever...
This paradise will be your own private riverfront sanctuary that is completely unlike any other vacation property on the north shore of Kauai. We have been in operation since 1995 and we're one of the very first vacation rentals on the internet. Twenty seven years now with no negative feedback and many return guests. You have the opportunity to experience what many others have not. A real Hawaiian paradise. You'll feel at home as soon as you enter the property and it will last until you leave every day on your explorations. This is the natural Hawaii you have heard about and it will be your home base for the duration of your stay which you will be grateful you chose each time you return. The location is a natural wonderland complete with the rural Hawaiian experience that has become harder to find for visitors. If you like things with more of a local vibe this property is for you.
The property is a block from a secluded beach which can be accessed by kayak or paddle board. There is no other north Kauai rental property that offers this experience. Take a picnic down to a beach with no public parking and thus no other people on it. When the outside areas are crowded during peak seasons you'll always be able to come home to peace and quiet and find yourself forgetting everything but where you are. Try finding that in a beach house or a house in town. River Estate is just removed enough yet very close to everything North Kauai is famous for. River Estate is just removed enough to be totally peaceful and private yet very close to everything North Kauai is famous for and as such very conveniently located for easy access to all the area has to offer.
Before you arrive I will have already communicated with you and offered my services as your private concierge and sent you a complete welcome package filled with helpful information. My 50 years here have provided me with many experiences which I will share with you to help you make the most of your time. I will remain at your service throughout your stay.
The first thing you'll notice is the pristine stream that flows adjacent to the property to the ocean a block away and the expansive botanical gardens which inhabit the grounds. The visual richness of the sight of the stream and the sound of the water flowing by will immediately relax you and it will set the stage for your entire stay on the estate. The smell of the flowers in the air will enchant your senses and depending on the time of year you stay there might be local fruit in the garden for you to harvest. This is a true sanctuary for you to relax and enjoy when you are not out exploring what Kauai has to offer.
The property is centrally located on the north shore of Kauai between Hanalei town and Ke'e Beach at the end of the road by Haena State Park which is easily accessible by bicycle which we can provide for you (rented and delivered to the house). All the activities and attractions on the north shore are within 3 miles of the property. East is ...

Our stay at the River House was nothing short of extraordinary, earning a resounding five-star rating. From the moment we booked the reservations, Mark, our exceptional host at the River Estate, demonstrated an unparalleled level of professionalism and warmth. His communication was impeccable, ensuring that all our needs were met and that the property exceeded our expectations.
The River House itself was a masterpiece of comfort and convenience. We were delighted to find that the kayaks and paddle boards we rented were delivered right to the house ahead of our arrival, showcasing the seamless and thoughtful service provided. The location was ideal for our family vacation, perfectly situated to explore the stunning beauty of Kauai.
The kitchen was equipped with every amenity one would need, including a air fryer that proved to be incredibly useful. Every detail was meticulously attended to, making our stay not only enjoyable but also exceptionally convenient. For an unforgettable experience and a stay that truly feels like a home away from home, the River House and its remarkable host, Mark, set an unparalleled standard.

The pictures don't do it enough justice. The home and surrounding yard/driveway is unreal how beautiful it all is. You could stay at the house and never leave if you wanted to. The house had all amenities that you could ask for. There's a little country market store, coffee shop about a 5 minute walk down the road that is the essence of "true" Hawaii. If we ever make it back to Kauai, would definitely stay here again.

We stayed 12 nights at the River Estate and enjoyed every minute. The house is clean, the grounds were well kept and, in my opinion, the property’s greatest feature is the location. This property is perfect for families who want to disconnect from their hectic lives. The location just up the Wainiha river is quiet and peaceful. We found ourselves enjoying time relaxing by the river watching birds and the occasional group of fish swim by. The property was part of our vacation, not just a bed for the night. We planned many of our days with a ‘reset’ back at the house after a morning at the Beach.
An additional benefit to staying here, is the small market within walking distance. There is a place to grab a coffee, a shave ice, lunch or even groceries.
This was our 5th time to the north shore of Kauai and we have not stayed at the same property twice...next time we come, will be staying at the River Estate again.

An absolutely amazing property and location. The home was beyond clean, very well appointed, roomy and comfortable. Mark is very attentive and easy to get a hold of. He was very gracious with his time and help with all our questions. He set up having kayaks delivered to the house for our stay which was a huge deal with having a rental car as that would have been a challenge to go get and bring back. We so enjoyed kayaking to and from the private beach just fantastic. Will definitely pass info on the VRBO to friends and family. One of the most memorable vacations we have had. We have done many VRBOs and this one is tops on the list. Don’t pass this one up! Truly an amazing find. Thank you Mark for your time and attention to make our stay what it was.

Kauai is an extremely beautiful island, and the North Shore is the prettiest part. The home is in an area that is close to everything you could want. Princeville and Hanalei Bay are near; however, you have the seclusion of being near beaches and shops that are local's favorites. The house is extremely clean, and the beds are very comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked, and you are supplied with beach chairs, towels and supplies that are very thoughtful.

If you want a great place to stay that isn't "touristy" and very secluded, this place is it. We stayed for 2 weeks and it was great. There are several local beaches for relaxing days, and it is an easy drive down to Lihue and other locations for more planned adventures. Although not on the ocean, this is located next to a river that goes straight to the ocean which is an easy kayak ride.
The host is very responsive and helpful. We had a bad stone come through and he was helpful to make sure we were prepared for it. Another great perk is this house is on solar, so when we did lose power, we actually didn't since we had battery and solar back up.
Excellent place to stay.

Close enough to town and yet felt like we were out in the country! Being next to the creek was a bonus. Incrediblyt well stocked kitchen.

We stayed at the River House for 7 nights in February of 2024. Our stay was just wonderful. The house is just as depicted, if not better. The river is just outside, the property is nicely landscaped and the neighborhood is quiet. We were close to Hanalei, which we loved! We went to beaches close by and used the provided beach towels, chairs and umbrella.
The Kitchen is well stocked and comfortable. Temperature was very comfortable. We did not use the AC since the weather was in the low 70's. Fans and lots of windows were great.
We did not have much interaction with the Owner but he was always responsive and welcoming. At our request, he provided a crib and high chair to rent. If you want to rent kayaks, etc. he can supply as well. He had great suggestions on restaurants.
Overall, the house provided us with a 'no worries' base for a lovely stay in Kauai. I highly recommend!

We loved our stay here with family. The home is very clean and well stocked with needed amenities and extras. The location is close to the beach and local shops - and frequent farmers markets with incredible produce. You can hear fish splash in the river behind the yard and birds any time of day. One of the neighbors across the river has multiple dogs that can be heard starting in the afternoon. Out of the home owners control, but important to note. With windows closed and A/C on the dogs were difficult to hear overnight. The owner was kind enough to offer a late checkout, which was appreciated as a few of the crew had gotten sick while traveling. Would have appreciated a phone call to notify me when he put a $400.00 extra charge through VRBO for a blind that was allegedly not rewinding. Don't remember it being down when I left. Suppose I should have photographed everything prior to leaving. Truly blessed to have had family time in this amazingly peaceful place.
