Hale Koolau Estate - AC, Hot Tub TVNC #1017/1018

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.

Lovely Family Holiday

We were a group of 11 members of an extended family that had a 2 week stay in this home. We enjoyed the many bridges on the way, mountain views, and the large lawn to play. We also enjoyed the very nice hot tub. It was a close drive and/or walk to the most beautiful beaches on the island.

Perfect family place

Our three generations had a great time at the house. The bunkhouse was just right for the youngsters, the kitchen was well equipped for family meals and the outdoor dining table was so nice for our gatherings. We appreciated the beach supplies--chairs, coolers, towels, etc. Loved hearing the ocean and the short drive to Hanalei.

The perfect property

My parents (mid 70s/late 60s), my brother and his partner, my wife and kids (aged 4 and 10 months) stayed at this lovely north shore property for just shy of a week. The house was spectacularly clean, well-appointed, and comfortable. We took walks to the beach every day. We enjoyed watching the bright green geckos while enjoying our morning coffee. If you're looking for the _perfect_ Hawaiian spot, you've found it

This beautiful house is located in a secluded area on the north coast. All the rooms were appointed for island use. The beds were comfortable the bathrooms very nice. The lania was spacious and used every night for dinner. There were no bugs at all. The a.c. Was actually too cold. Loved it

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!

Excellent North Shore Hideaway

I stayed here with my extended family--including 4 adults and 2 teenagers--for one week. The property was lovely, well-kept, and clean. The photos and listing description seemed accurate. During our stay, I appreciated the thoughtful amenities in the house, including flashlights by the front doors (it gets dark in the country!), plenty of ocean toys (boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrellas, etc), and plenty of propane gas for the grills, etc. We cooked-in almost every night, and we appreciated the well-equipped kitchens. We found all the right tools and serving dishes for our needs. The location to the beach is great. We walked to Tunnels Beach almost every day! Overall, we had a positive experience, and I appreciated the quick and responsive communication from the property management team as questions arose.

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 roomThat sleeps the most people didn’t have AC. There were also a lotOf bugs that were in there. The combo impeded on peoples sleep.

Amazing!!

The property is PERFECT! We hadn’t been to Kauai prior to this trip, after going across the island I really feel like we got one of the best homes and locations available. It is fairly secluded and quiet. It’s so clean and has everything you could think of. We only had to rent a couple surf boards but they have chairs and towels and boogie boards. Everything is extremely clean which I can imagine is attention to detail with all the sand that comes in and out. The views from the property were just amazing. So peaceful. Very safe location. The roosters wake you up but we learned quick to use our white noise apps and it was just part of the experience those cute little roosters. 😆 We loved going to hanalei bay beach the best which is only about 15 minutes away. We were there in January and it had the perfect waves to practice surfing for beginners. Beautiful!! I can’t wait to go back.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

This property and location was perfect for my family. The layout allows for both group gathering and privacy for down time when needed.
