Wow. We can't stop thinking about this magical spot. If there is a heaven, it will be sitting on the lanai watching the horse and donkey graze, feeling the breeze and listening to the birds chirp as the clouds hug the mountain tops. Enjoyed sitting here during all times of the day, from morning coffee to watching the sunset. This home gave us the true feeling of living on the slow, wild and beautiful north shore. We loved everything, from rainy game nights and breakfasts on the screened-in dining area (also used this space as a remote "office"), to listening to the breeze and rainfall from the cozy bedrooms. The home was very clean with lovely and interesting local art in every corner. It felt very much like a home away from home, so peaceful and rural, but half a block walk and you are on the beautiful, secluded beach. The proximity to Tunnels beach and Haena State Park is amazing...a quick, beautiful drive. We didn't see much need to travel east/south of Hanalei. Been to Kauai and other islands many times, and this was definitely our favorite stay. Oceanfront Reality was very responsive, sent updates about local happenings several times during our trip, and even brought by a brand new blender for us when we reported the one in the house wasn't working. We hope to return someday, and until then, will be there on the lanai in our dreams! Mahalo!
