Gated cottage, 3 blocks to beach, A/C Close to Tunnels. Lots of outdoor space

A short walk to world-class, white sand beaches stretching for miles in both directions. Experience the beauty of a magical area nestled between emerald mountains and azure seas. Stroll in the sand on the closest beach, Naue. Walk or drive one mile to Tunnels, the ultimate snorkeling spot, with picturesque backdrop of Mount Makana and lush jungles. Perfect spot to enjoy this non-commercial area

Arrive at a private, charming beach cottage with air-conditioned comfort. The fenced property and tropical gardens surround our guests with colorful foliage.

The top living space has an open floorplan with a remodeled kitchen and living area with high ceilings and split system AC. There is indoor dining for 4. and comfortable seating in the living area with 2 sofas and a large TV. Wireless internet and a flat-screen TV's provide entertainment.

Each bedroom has room air-conditioning. The larger bedroom offers a king bed with quality linens, flat-screen TV. The adjacent remodeled bath has a tiled, double shower and glass top, double vanity. The second bedroom has a queen bed with quality linens, and access to the hall bath with claw-footed tub/shower.

The top-level lanai has a full-sized washer/dryer, outdoor dining for 4 and additional cushioned seating..

The lower level is the ultimate space to play and relax. Enjoy the private covered area which has a double hammock, chase lounges, dining for 6, desk with wi-fi access and seating to enjoy a beach read. Steps away you will find the a gas BBQ pavilion. And tucked away in a private corner is a paved space with Adirondack chairs, dining table and chaise lounges.

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.

This was a very nice place to stay at for our 2nd week on Kauai, perfect for 4 people. Each bedroom has a separate AC unit, plus one in the living room, which kept the house very comfortable, although we didn’t use it that much since the temps were mild the week were there in April. The kitchen was well-appointed, even a coffee grinder. We loved having breakfast out on the lanai. Overall, highly recommended.

We had a wonderful time at your home. The house and deck were clean and enjoyable. Loved the birds, geckos, and roosters! The downstairs outside needs some attention though. Lots of ants on ground and on some furniture, tabletops dirty, snorkeling equipment dirty and jumbled, and removing dead branches is needed. Corner with chairs and umbrella was unusable. *See photos The recent storm probably didn’t help, hopefully you’ve been able to get over there and do some maintenance. Overall though we had a great time and enjoyed our visit.

House near Tunnel beach. Big house but not kept well. We arrived and the house was not cleaned. We found unmade beds, dirty restrooms, kitchen untidy, dishwasher with dirty plates and fridge with food left from the previous guest. We had to call the owner 4/5 times before she answered. And when she did she didn't even apologize for the mess. She sended a girl that did what she could, I had to take the kids to the beach because their were shocked by the experience and didn't want to stay!! My mother stayed below and waited. My mother checked the cleaning and pointed out it was still dirty (dead mosquitos, webbs and dirt on the patio floor). The owner decided to let her come the next day for a "deep cleaning". So the next day we had to leave the apartment so they could clean!! The space under the house was crowed with tables, sofas and chairs. Very untidy. The bine (waste) area in in full sight and was not emptied. We also found the washing machine full of dirty towels that we started and then also dry cleaned!! This is all unacceptable so I asked Vrbo of a refund of the cleaning fee. They accepted. Thank you Vrbo excellent client service!

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.
