Hale Alealea Beach House, one house back from Kepuhi Beach.
Hale Alealea Beach House with air conditioning is one house back from Kepuhi Beach. This home is situated on a large, private street-to-street lot in Haena's prime neighborhood made up of unique, well manicured beach front/adjacent homes. Our 15000 square foot yard is fully fenced, and mature plumeria trees grace the entrance to the house.
The professionally landscaped garden is full of flowering tropical plants, swaying coconut palms and banana trees. The beach is easily accessed by several walking easements, just a moment's stroll from the house along our gravel lane. Tunnels beach is only a 15-minute walk away. This house was fully renovated in 2014.
This bright and airy home offers two queen bedroom suites, plus two additional bedrooms with two twin beds each, making it a great house for one or two families or a vacation shared by friends. The main level of the house is upstairs and enjoys leafy framed views of the ocean and the trade breezes.
The kitchen is modern and fully appointed. The spacious wrap-around lanai features a gas grill and provides plenty of additional dining and lounging space.
At Kepuhi Beach, look to the left to see the kite boarders setting up at the point. You will love watching their colorful kites and daring acrobatics in the surf. To the right, find a calm lagoon with spectacular snorkeling and shelling. Continue your stroll to find the nearby Hanalei Colony Resort for morning coffee, or the terrific Opakapaka Grill and Bar for a sunset cocktail or a beachside massage at the Hanalei Day Spa.
Features of Hale Alealea: Four Bedrooms, two with queen size beds, and two with two twin beds each. Wireless high speed internet access. Spacious indoor and outdoor living areas for relaxing and entertaining. Expansive lanai with gas grill for seamless indoor-outdoor dining and lounging.
Haena is one of Kauai's true tropical treasures. Down the beach is Tunnels where the reefs are home to a variety of tropical fish and green sea turtles. There is seasonal whale-watching from shore and great surfing. At Hale Alealea, you are a short distance from Ke'e beach and the epic Na Pali Coast.

Great house and location
The trip was amazing! The house was just what we were looking for, a home base that was comfortable, clean and well maintained. Everything worked as expected, many of the features added to the house were geared towards our activities. Outdoor shower with warm water, gas grill, large refrigerator, pots and pans, hair driers, towels for shower and beach, high-capacity laundry, beach chairs, umbrella they were all greatly appreciated. The garden throughout the property provided privacy, and the porches were very spacious.The Kepuhi Beach was just a short walk from the house, it's not really a swimming beach, but we enjoyed it all the same. Plus, it was a short walk to Tunnels Beach etc... sunrises and evening walks were also fantastic. We had full moons the first couple of days, and we stayed long enough to see the milky way as well. The Northshore was our favorite area by far. Hanalei was our favorite town, Big Save Market had everything that we needed, and Princeville is just down a little more. We loved the scenery, the one lane bridges, it all just seemed to be old school which is what we were looking for. As you can tell we loved the location... we did some excursions on the east and south coasts as well, but nothing seems as Hawaiian as the NorthShore. This house is really close to the Ha'ena State Park and Beach, and it is a beautiful area and is less populated.We would highly recommend this location!

Hale Alealea
We enjoyed the location and the accommodations were adequate. The kitchen was good for food preparation with decent appliances. On the downside, the place needs a deep cleaning, the beds and furniture need upgrades. One sofa was visibly old and soiled. No one would sit on it. Fortunately, the management team arrived the day we left with contractors and a long to-do list. Perhaps future guests will enjoy these improvements.

Fun Hawaiian get away
Our family of 7 had a wonderful time. The four bedrooms were perfect and having three bathrooms was a bonus. The house was well stocked with soaps and towels for the bathrooms and the kitchen had everything we needed, plus little extras like coffee, tea, basic spices. The short walk to the beach was fantastic for those evening sunsets. The yard was very private. Everyone in our party enjoyed our stay.

lanai heaven
Our favorite place was sitting on the lanai and listening to the waves on the beach. I wish there had been six comfortable lounge chairs. There was only one. Everything else was perfect. Our rental was equipped with everything we could need including spices, sugar, flour, salt and pepper, we assume left by other renters. Bathrooms had shampoo and creme rinse too. We would go back to the same house in a New York minute. loved it.

Perfect for Active Family
Very comfortable. An older house and set up well for food preparation and dining which was efficient and could easily accommodate many different interests. Small table by kitchen for breakfast and large table on lanai for lunch and dinner. Plenty of chairs and couches around for heat-of-the-day reading (ie naps). Short walk to lovely beach. Longer walk to snorkle/swim beach. Pleasant neighborhood for after dinner walk. Stroll to quite good restaurant. Ray Kroc once owned this house

Lovely house close to the beach
We stayed at Vale Alealea over Christmas with our family. The house is comfortable and well suited for large groups. The listing is accurate except for the bed sizes - anything that says queen is actually a double. It's well stocked with everything we needed during our stay including beach chairs, umbrellas and a cooler. It could have been cleaner when we arrived. There was a lot of dust on shelves and the floor but this seems to be standard in Kauai as the previous place that we rented was like this as well. The rental company was easy to deal with however it sometimes took a day or 2 to get answers to questions we had prior to check in. All-in-all we had a lovely time and would stay here again.

Family vacation
Throughly enjoyed our stay at this house in a great location on Kauai’s north shore. Walked to Tunnels Beach almost every day, snorkeling and watching the sea turtles, hiked 3 times. The mudslide road closure just south of Hanalei caused a few minor issues, and staffing/supply issues at restaurants and shops were a minor issue as well, but all in all this was one of our best family vacations ever. Wi-if was sometimes spotty and the house felt quite hot in the afternoons with no A/C but again, these were minor inconveniences. Kitchen is well-stocked with cooking pans, utensils, etc. Freezer has a condensation issue

A Great Island Base!
5 of us had a great time at this Kauai house. It is clean, comfortable and spacious, especially including 3 bathrooms and an outdoor shower. Ceiling fans, extensive windows, and cool ocean breezes keep it comfortable without a/c. House has a fantastic wrap around porch with a large outdoor dining table and grill. It sits just across the street from the beach and there’s a public beach access just steps away, plus the house is equipped with high quality beach chairs and umbrellas for guest use. When we did need some help, the prop manager responded very quickly. If you’re comfortable staying a little off the beaten path, this is a great spot. The roosters start at 4 am, just plan accordingly!

This property was perfect for our family. They had everything we needed and we were less than a block from the beach. My kids were able to go out and fish every morning and every evening while I packed for the day and while I cooked dinner. They were in heaven and so was I!

Well equipped beach side home
We stayed for a week with four adults and four kids. Despite no AC, the house was quite comfortable. We were able to maintain the temp simply by choosing which windows to open and fans to use. The lanai was spacious and delightful for outdoor dining, especially the grill, which we used a couple of times. The beach chairs and sand toys were great to have. A very easy walk to the beach. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, except for the chickens! (What can you do?) The kitchen was pretty well equipped and we were able to eat almost all our meals there. The drive to Hanalei was easy. I loved that you could see the ocean from the lanai. And an extra bonus for a family with little kids was the ample supply of sheets and towels, as well as the laundry facilities. The kids loved using the outdoor shower and there was plenty of hot water for all. Kauai Rentals was wonderful and professional to work with. We'd definitely recommend Hale Alealea to others staying on the North Shore.
