Beach access is a short walk across the road to Naue Beach. Naue is known for its beauty and off the beaten track location. During summer when the surf is low, you can refresh yourself in the shallow waters of Naue. There are no lifeguards and we recommend you swim only at beaches with lifeguards. The county has expanded the lifeguard hours for your protection. A mile walk or drive west takes you to Tunnels which is lifeguard protected and has fabulous snorkeling. We provide beach some snorkeling gear, coolers, chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards
This cottage is located in "Deep Country" but has the amazing opportunity to walk across the road and a block away to a coffee/bakery shop and oceanfront restaurant/bar. The cottage is located on the corner of the well- traved two lane and a quiet residential cul-de-sac. Tall hibiscus and palm trees muffle beach traffic during the day. There is little traffic at night.
This cottage is on the corner of a residential cul-de-sac and a well-traveled, 2-lane road that runs to a glorious end at Haena State Beach and the base of the Na Pali Coast.
Access to Kee Beach requires a reservation. Reserve the shuttle to Haena State Park( Ke'e Beach) and to hiking along the breathtaking Na Pali Coast. If you are planning to hike the Na Pali trail, please plan in advance. https://www.kalalautrail.com/if-you-want-to-visit-the-kalalau-trail-in-2021-read-this/

The location felt like we were IN the jungle which was a cool experience! Very quiet and peaceful location as well. Very homey overall and comfortable kitchen with a lot of counter space.
Yes the house is nice. Little things that annoyed me were the shower hear in the guest bath has to be held while you shower and there were lots of spider webs in the driveway and on porch but no in the house. The house had good cooking ammenities and and complimentary coffee
Host was very accommodating, we extended our stay 1 day! The location was perfect with a beautiful peaceful patio. We could not have asked for a better place to stay for our elopement/honeymoon. A/C was amazing and everything is updated! Such a beautiful home. We will definitely be back!!
Kitchen was stocked, air conditioning and fans cooled down the house quickly, and it was a short drive to Hā’ena state park, Hā’ena beach, and the Hanalei area. Donna was a helpful and responsive host!
Nice and fun house! Location is perfect if you are the type looking to be away from touristy areas yet not too far when you need to shop.We walked to Tunnels beach which is good because there is barely no parking at this amazing beach.There is so much beach chairs, boogie boards, masks and fins, coolers and our favorite, a boogie to carry everything!Thank you so much! We loved our stay.
We had a wonderful stay at the property on our sixth trip to the island. Having stayed in Poipu, Kapa'a, and Princeville, this was one of our favorite locations and properties. The cottage was as advertised. The outdoor spaces were plentiful, the living/dining room was very comfortable, and the proximity to the beach could was convenient. We would be happy to stay here again.
The house is exactly as described, and was perfect for our stay. The property is well-maintained, with many thoughtful amenities.Donna is a very helpful and proactive host who makes herself available should guests require assistance.The house is in a remote location, which we were aware of, and was why we chose to stay here. It is walkable to excellent beaches, and a 15-ish minute drive to Hanalei for restaurants and groceries.
This property has everything you need for a fun day at the beach. We Went snorkeling at Tunnels Beach and it was great. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds very comfortable! The outdoor seating is GREAT. We truly enjoyed our 3 nights here
Beautiful, spacious home with everything you need. Comfy beds. Gorgeous views. Short walk to the beach, which was quiet. Donna was a gracious host and helped us out when the Hanalei Bridge was shut down for the day due to unexpected flooding. We hated to leave and would definitely return.
We absolutely loved staying at Donna’s place. It’s such a cool area with the beach and coffee shop only a five minute walk. I can’t tell in words how much we loved staying there. Definitely would stay there again.
The cottage was perfect for our 4 night stay. The location is remote, but that is what we loved about it. The cottage was the perfect size, nicely updated kitchen, and clean beds/baths. Will definitely come back to this magical place and will stay here again.
We loved our stay on the north shore. The house was perfect for our family. We really enjoyed the natural beauty and the close proximity to the beach. Lovely!!
The home was clean and comfy - lots of seating options. Well appointed kitchen. Liked having the coolers available so we could take picnics on our adventures. The beach chairs and boogie boards were great to have too. Would stay here again!
We had a lovely time. Can't beat the location-walkable to Tunnels Beach and a short drive to the quaint town of Hanelai. Would definitely stay here again.
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. We loved being within walking distance to the beach for our morning walks. The cottage is well equiped with everything we needed. It has a great outdoor space. We would love to stay here again!
Close enough to Hanalei, but far enough away to be private and its own little oasis. It truly has everything you need. We will definitely be back. Thank you, Donna!
Thank you so much for a great stay Donna! If you’re looking for a great getaway into lush vegetation and world class beaches, look no further. My only regret was trying new beaches when nothing beats tunnels right near the house. Aloha!
