Hale Ko'olau, Haena -- Permitted Vacation Rental Property - Permit ID: TVNCU #1017
Transient vacation rental is located in the tsunami evacuation zone
Located on the north shore of Kauai, Hale Koolau sits behind wooden gates 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 Ko'olau invites guests to immerse themselves in an authentic Hawaiian retreat.
This 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom getaway is drenched in natural light and boasts an expansive, wrap-around 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 living space and can sleep up to nine guests with an attached bathroom.
Hale Ko'olau's outdoor shower provides refreshing relief after a day hiking the Na Pali Coast or spending the afternoon swimming in the crystal blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. Spend the mornings or evenings relaxing on the lanai where views of emerald green mountains remind you of the appeal of island life.
Take a 10-minute drive along the coastline and over several one-lane bridges back to Hanalei, famous for its crescent-shaped bay and small-town charm. Add another 10 minutes to your drive and find yourself in the resort community of Princeville, where you can golf oceanfront holes at the Makai Golf Club.
The property also has an additional guest house (1-bedroom/1 bath, up to 4 guests) called “Ko'olau Treehouse,” which can be rented in combination with Hale Ko'olau to have the entire estate to you and your guests.
Escape civilization and enjoy your own personal paradise retreat at Hale Ko'olau.
*Note there are two homes on the property. Both are vacation rentals. Hale Ko'olau is the main front house. The Ko'olau Tree House is the guest cottage located in the back. Both can be rented separately or the entire estate (main + guest).

We absolutely loved this house- we were originally a little concerned by the treehouse right next door and it was hard to get a sense of how well that would work. It was fantastic- whoever stayed was very quiet and we hardly saw them. All the lanai for the big house are on the other side too. The house was very clean and spacious- the bunk room is actually a separate room which worked great- our kids stayed there. The house is so well stocked- from the kitchen to beach gear to cleaning supplies. The beach is a short walk away- we also walked to tunnels Beach (very close by) and hanalei colony resort for coffee and dinner multiple times. Would absolutely stay again.

Loved this property and was perfect for our vacation. Walking to the north shore beaches is so nice as it’s the most beautiful beaches.. in my opinion.. to be close to. Just a lovely stay and didn’t want to leave.

The property is wonderful and the design and layout of the space and buildings makes it a great choice for families with different age groups. My wife and I and step-son and his wife stayed in the main home while their two-year-old daughter slept in the bunk house, just steps away via a connected walkway. The two buildings are attached by a large porch area.
So the outdoor dining area adjacent to the kitchen and in front of the bunk house could not have been better. The beach which is a 5 to 10-minute walk away is a nice sandy beach. The house was close to a half dozen beaches and each one seemed better than the one we went to the day before.
The big unfortunate about the area in Haena where the house is located is the local dog. Three nights I was awoken in the middle of the night by a dog which barked for 90 minutes or sometimes more. A bummer. I spoke with the property manager concerning this and they were very communicative concerning our problem, but the humane society is the only group which can act on such disturbances and while I voiced my concerns about this poor dog, I can't say for sure anything was done about it.
It was a great trip, it seemed that the week was much longer and we plan to return to Kauai din the near future.
Thank you Makana!!

The Haena Hale was amazing. We had a large group of ten people and the house took care of everyones needs perfectly. The estate is large and feels very comfortable and safe. The surrounding decks make it fun to walk around. The bathrooms were beautiful. The kids bunk room was really fun and the beds are more than large enough for 6 foot adults. The location of the home makes access to all my favorite places on Kauai easily accessible. Thank you Haena Hale for a great vacation!
