About this property

5-Min Walk to Tunnels Beach! | Mountain Views

  • At the quiet end of Kauai's north shore road, you'll be just a 5-minute lovely walk from Tunnels Beach which offers some of the best snorkeling in all of Hawaii. Mornings start with coffee on the lanai as horses, donkeys, and cows sometimes wander the pasture below the mountains. Enjoy a peaceful outdoor shower + jetted tub surrounded by nature. Inside, the 3BR home has AC + floor-to-ceiling glass windows, just 2 miles from the Kalalau trailhead.

    Section 4: Experience Overview

    Here's an overview of what makes our home special...

    EXPERIENCE OVERVIEW ~

    5-min walk to Tunnels Beach
    Air conditioning in every room
    High-speed WiFi
    Outdoor slate shower + jetted tub
    Covered lanai w/ mountain views

    Beach wagon, chairs, snorkel gear
    60" SmartTV + DVD library
    BBQ grill on the lanai
    Kids' toys, games + travel crib
    Outdoor rinse shower downstairs

    The back lanai faces open pasture and the mountains of the Napali range — most mornings you'll have coffee with the birds, and if you're lucky, a donkey or two will wander by the fence line.

This was our 4th time to stay at Judy's house, and we love it every time! The house is always clean and the kitchen has everything you need for a stay. We love the quick walk down to the beach, the covered back patio, and the quiet nights out in the Kauai North country. Looking forward to our next trip out to Haena!

The communication was prompt, friendly, and helpful. Easy instructions to follow. Beautiful home, apart from the great location feeling removed from the business but accessible to Hanalei, we really loved the back patio. It was a great place for a morning coffee and we even saw chickens, cows, and donkey grazing at the edge of the tree! Would recommend to anyone looking to visit this side of the island.

My husband and I love Haena and Tunnels Beaches. This house was on our list to try because it was within walking distance to Tunnels. It did not disappoint! The house was clean and had everything we needed for our visit. I loved sitting on the deck hearing the beautiful bird sounds. The neighborhood was quiet and relaxing. I absolutely loved the outdoor shower. Judie's place is stunning and the only mistake we made was not booking a longer stay! I want to go back next year. I'd rate this higher than five stars if i could. Thank you Judie!
