Canopied in tropical foliage is Hale Ko'olau Treehouse. Vacation like you’re living among the treetops in a charming and bright, one-bedroom (King Bed) and one-bath house on Kauai’s famous north shore, in the community of Haena.

Loved Every Minute of Our Stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at this property in Haena. The location, the view, and the overall comfort made it feel like a true retreat. It was even better than described — peaceful, well-maintained, and incredibly relaxing.One unexpected bonus: cell service was basically nonexistent on the property, which turned out to be a gift. We were happy to be fully disconnected from phone calls for a while. That said, the Wi-Fi worked perfectly, so we had everything we needed.The host was great with communication. We made the mistake of not downloading the property guide ahead of time, and since we didn’t have service when we arrived, we had to drive out to access the lockbox info — totally on us, not the host. Once we got in, everything was smooth sailing.We’d absolutely recommend this place and would return in a heartbeat. Mahalo for a beautiful experience!

Private luxury treehouse on Kauai's North Shore

Just a five minute walk from secluded Kepuhi Beach on Kauai's North Shore, the Hale Ko'olau Treehouse is by far my favorite lodging on Kauai, and quite possibly all of Hawaii. This one bedroom apartment shares a spacious fenced compound with a larger rental dwelling, but we never heard any noise from the other guests or nearby neighbors. Mountain views from our spacious living room were fantastic, and two high quality and quiet ductless A/C units kept the heat and humidity at bay during an especially steamy Labor Day week stay. The kitchen was very well equipped, and we enjoyed both the upstairs and downstairs outdoor furniture as venues for the meals we cooked. High quality beach gear with a location enabling 2 minute drives to much prized Tunnels Beach parking made Hae Koo'lau a perfect stay for a couple of snorkelers.

Wonderful Haena

We enjoyed our week stay in Haena. The property is well positioned and cared for and makes an excellent home base for a remote stay in Kauai. The manager did respond timely to our need of additional coffee filters and attempted to get the front door lock to work (to no success). The neighborhood was nice - the local rooster will ensure you are awake early!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental description says it all. The only addition I would make is "it's quiet!". There are no surprises. Its easy to get in. Its easy to park. Its easy to walk to the beach. The property is well capitalized; the kitchen has all the pots and pans and plates and glasses you need. It has a rice cooker and both kinds of coffee makers. The management company responds to queries rapidly and kindly. They have beach chairs and boogie boards.

Loved this rental! Perfect location

This rental is very much as described: it’s in a nearly perfect location tucked away on Kauai’s north shore (the best!) and in a great place for a couple (or small family—there’s only one bedroom) to hide away and enjoy the tropical paradise that’s Kauai. The cleaners did an impeccable job and the place has AC (which is hard to find). Book it!

Spacious, Beautiful, Comfortable

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A second-story 1-bedroom apartment on stilts, on a property shared with two other, larger homes (all detached). During our stay ours was the only occupied home on the property. The home is beautiful and comfortable with all the amenities you would hope for (kitchen, laundry, etc), and in close proximity to Tunnels Beach. It’s a bit off the beaten path up here on the north shore, but that’s the appeal. There is a hotel/restaurant in walking distance if you’d like a night out. Keep in mind that the drive out here is long and traverses several one-lane bridges, so be prepared for traffic. Only complaint: the roosters will wake you up EARLY. If you’re a night owl you might want someplace that’s better soundproofed.

Wonderful secluded property

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I thoroughly enjoyed my vacation at this wonderful property. The location was perfect for me, just a short walk to a beautiful, almost deserted beach. The property was beautifully appointed with lovely decor, extremely clean with a well equipped kitchen providing everything you could possibly need. If you are looking for a more secluded vacation await from the more touristic areas, this place is perfect . The host was extremely receptive and helpful. Would definitely return if lucky enough. Highly recommend.

Incredible location in Haena

If you don’t mind being a bit out of town and you want incredible beauty all around this is the spot. Nothing like getting up each morning and walking the 5 to 7 minutes it takes to walk on the breath taking beaches of Haena! We stayed in the 1 bedroom back house in the property. The house is just perfect for a romantic getaway. 3 days into our stay a group showed up to rent the front house and they arrived at 1am and you can definitely hear EVERYTHING so I do recommend checking to make sure who ever will be staying in the front house is respectful and quiet after 10pm. The group was only loud (probably out of excitement for arriving in one of the most beautiful places on earth!) that first night and then very quiet after that. The house is perfect. It’s great it has a washer and dryer and everything you need. The only suggestion I would make is maybe it’s time for a new mattress. Otherwise everything was perfect. It’s such cute cozy space and definitely beats any hotel bedroom! We absolutely loved it and hope to be back.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I could not have been more pleased with this hidden gem. Our first trip to Kauai, I was not certain where to stay, we found the perfect place. Couldn't have picked a better location. The Treehouse itself was perfect for us. All the amenities, lots of space, quiet, private(there was Noone in the main house). Close to beaches, fun drive to get there and the views were amazing. I would recommend this to all my friends, acquaintances or anyone looking for a couples getaway to Kauai.

November Couples Getaway

This property was perfect for a much needed romantic getaway. We felt like locals during our stay and could imagine living on the property. it’s tucked away in a residential neighborhood and a short walk to a public beach entrance. Very quiet and serene. It rained during half of our stay, but we loved hearing the rain on the rooftop and feeling like we were in a tropical rainforest. The views of the mountain were amazing. The windows and skylights let in so much light. Everything was clean and tidy, intuitive and easy to find. We made use of the beach towels and the aloe stored in the hall closet. It was definitely a pleasant surprise to find that after a day on a boat and a pretty good sunburn. The shower was cool and comfortable, and extremely moody. The towels were soft and fluffy. I’d like to purchase a set of the sheets that were on the bed. They were so nice and cozy. I’m so glad we chose this property over other options. We felt we had much more comfort, space and privacy. Instructions and tips for our stay were clear and well defined. Light switches were all clearly labeled so we’d know what is what. The garbage cabinet was a little hard to open, but a strong tug would usually do the trick. The kitchen was well supplied and stocked with useful utensils, appliances and dishes. The idea of Crossing the bridges to the residence caused us some anxiety, but it really is such a breeze to figure out. Most drivers we encountered followed the courtesy rules, and followed pos

Absolutely gorgeous. So inspiring that 1) we dont want to tell anyone its here so we keep the "secret" and 2) we booked the larger house during our trip because the resort we planned for thr 2nd half of our stay on coconut beach was just a downer after being out here in secluded paradise. Opakapaka grill and bar is a beavh aide resteraunt with live music, absolutely a must. And the beach is walking distance and very private Tunnels is a must and walkable if theres no parking. We already want to come back. Its peace.

Beautiful place

The treehouse is absolutely beautiful, comfortable and spacious, ideal for a couple. Stunning views of the mountains and forest. The North shore of Kauai is incredible, with endless gorgeous beaches and relaxed, unspoiled places. We had a lovely vacation. We have just one quibble, which is neither the fault of the property or of Makana., but I think guests should be warned. The neighboring properties both had gardeners come almost every day, early, with very noisy equipment non-stop for hours: leaf-blowers, dune buggies, grass trimmers, wood-chippers, on and on it went, deafening. To have a quiet morning you have to wear noise-cancelling headphones. If only the owners could be asked to have their staff use quieter, battery powered leaf blowers or better: rakes! But: some people might not even mind the noise, which is the same as in many suburbs in the USA, and this is the only downside to this gorgeous place.

Incredibly Relaxing Stay at Haena Tree House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were delighted to stay at the Haena Treehouse for 4 days in December. It was the perfect escape for my husband and I. Just what we needed after a long 2020. The house was perched up high which gave us that idyllic jungle-treehouse feeling as well as a gorgeous view of the mountains from the living room and master bedroom. I opened my eyes each morning to a view of the rich deep greens of the sheer mountains and a tumbling waterfall. It was absolute magic! The lanai off of the master bedroom was a perfect and serene place to have our morning coffee while enjoying the breathtaking views and the sound of the waves crashing in the background. The space was meticulously clean and very comfortable with AC in both the living room and the bedroom, though we barely used it because it was on the cool side while we were there. The wooden jealousies open up for a generous breeze, which we prefer over AC, but it was nice to have both options. The jealousies give the option to create an open feeling to the space by opening the windows or closing them to give more privacy. The only house really visible is the main house next door, which was not occupied during our stay so we kept them open most of the time. Tunnels Beach (which is a 2 minute drive/ 5 minute bike ride / 10 minute walk away from the Haena Treehouse) is my favorite beach on the planet! It has to be one of the most beautiful places one can experience. Even the rainier days were enjoyable as we could read and hangout comfortably in the covered outdoor lounging spaces. The outdoor BBQ area was great with a beautiful yard space and some cushy chairs. The kitchen was very well equipped and we were happy to be able to cook all weekend since there weren’t too many restaurants open in Hanalei. The beach equipment was also brand new and we were stoked on the cooler provided. We did not want to leave and we are excited to come back again with a larger group to also enjoy the main house next door. It's an amazing prop
