Dec 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This house had mostly pros (and some cons). Pros - great location, very tropical foliage, close to Hanalei area for shopping and groceries, coffee shop 3 minute walk away, incredibly close beach access, great showers beds (actually comfortable!), enough towels and dishes for spares, working TV with HDMI that we used to plug in our laptop / watch our own shows, nice washer and dryer, actually working AC in each bedroom in the living space, and great communication with the host!Cons - there were a lot of spiders outside, we’d wipe down the cobwebs each day and they’d be back the next day. There’s not much the host can really do about that, as the foliage is going to bring them in no matter what. It didn’t bother us but just a heads up! Luckily we had no bug issues indoors. ##### Stephanie W. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicole P.

Close to the great beaches of the north shore while still just a short drive to Hanalei. The place was clean. The kitchen well equipped. Fans and a/c galore, absolutely ice cold when we walked in! (We kept it much higher after that.) There's plenty of sitting areas in the house, on the balcony, and down the bottom. And the beach gear and snorkelling gear was in good condition and was good quality. For a party looking for two bedrooms, this is the perfect choice. ##### Joshua J.

Comfortable rooms, well-equipped kitchen, excellent a/c, tons of beach gear! 5 minute walk to Kepuhi Beach, 5 minute drive to Tunnels or Ke'e, 15 minutes to Hanalei. Donna is super responsive. Exceeded all our expectations! ##### Vic C. Stayed 10 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jill J.

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. ##### Jill J. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ben H. Jul 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy 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. ##### Ben H.

The rest of our family were in a house nearby, we had grandkids over and there is so much room under house in the “outdoor living area”. ##### Carolyn H.

Swimming/snorkeling is only possible at Tunnels beach. Go early by car or take time and walk along the beach. walking the parallel roads is comfortable. ##### Ingo H.

May 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### If you know you know… Walk to tunnels beach from your place, check. Walk to Napali Coast and hike, check. Stay away from the crowd with quiet, check. Great AC, great space and rooms, WiFi, and lounge area, check. There are very few places you can find this after visiting this island many times. I highly recommend, including Donna who was very reliable and a pleasure to work with. If you want a real local experience not a resort with thousands of people, I highly encourage you to stay here. ##### Jim D. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gabriel C.

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.
