Perfect place to stay for adventurers looking for an authentic Kauai- Hanalei experience. House is just a couple miles from Tunnels Beach which is one of the best beaches on the island imho and just as majestic as in the pictures (the snorkeling is off the charts amazing), and a few miles from Ha’ena State Park, Ke’e beach and the Kalalua Trail.
This rental is not for people looking for a pampered / resort vacation-vibe. The house is literally in the jungle surrounded by lush forests and wild life and it takes about 15 minutes to drive to nearest town (Hanalei). There are other houses nearby occupied by residents (not a bad thing but worth noting). House itself is nice and comfy with great mountain/jungle views, but not loaded with amenities (has good WiFi and washer + dryer but no AC or TV). It was exactly what we were looking for our Kauai experience and we would totally stay again.
Side note: the road to Hanalei got washed out and has limited times when it is open to public for passage. Make sure you check the schedule and be prepared to wait while they escort traffic up and down the road one side at a time.
Also the business in town are clearly being effected by the road closure + pandemic. Shops and restaurants are not open during normal hours and are packed with people when they are open so make sure you plan ahead of time and make reservations in advance.
Highly recommend and would stay here again.
