Magical Kauai Cottage on North Shore TV5131 NCU

Hale Huna ('Hidden House') is a wonderful cottage on a hillside near the end of the road on the North Shore of Kauai. Located on hill and a quiet cul-de-sac with only a few other local houses. Very private and peaceful (It is NOT on/near the highway like many Kauai rentals). Perfect for a meditative getaway or honeymoon cottage. Healing and restful.

Our cottage had no flooding or leaks during the 2018 flood on the North Shore. It is above the regular tsunami inundation zone, but just within the extreme tsunami inundation zone if there's a 9.0 or greater magnitude earthquake in the Aleutian Islands. The safe zone can be reached by walking uphill to the other side of the street or by driving to Princeville.

Beautiful views of green mountains from backyard. Lush plant life, including lilikoi, mango, grapefruit, and lemon trees. Outdoor shower sheltered by tropical foliage. This is a small but charming and tastefully furnished plantation-style cottage with the feel of real Hawaii. Within five minutes drive of gorgeous sandy beaches: incredible snorkeling at Tunnels and Ke'e Beaches, world class surf at Hanalei Bay and picturesque Lumahai.

The closest town is charming Hanalei, which has restaurants, a grocery store, a health food store, shops, bars and more. Hanalei Bay is famous for its large crescent beach, winter surfing and calm summer waters. The stunning NaPali Coast is just minutes away (the mountains seen from the backyard are the back of the Pali's/Mountains).

The North Shore of Kauai is known for its lush tropical, rainforest-like climate and vegetation and low key lifestyle. It's a fantastic place to relax, read, swim, hike, surf, snorkel, eat fresh fish and my favorite, just walking on the beach looking for shells.

Very clean and beautiful home and yard. Pictures do not give it justice. We are not resort people and this fit our needs perfectly. Note: the directions the owner gives may be a little intimidating but just follow google - it took us right to the home.

Most incredible Honeymoon ever: Mahalo
Oh my Gosh, we absolutely loved the Magical Kauai Cottage. From the location, to the style and design of the home, the energy of the space, the comfort of the beds, the kitchen, the outdoor shower, and the stunning backyard. It is better than how it looks in the photos. We loved being there. It was the perfect home for us. We were so grateful to be able to stay in such a beautiful place. We will be back.

What a beautiful place!! We had an amazing stay. The home is perfect, right down the road from the beach and from the little village with great food!! It was so great to come back to this quiet little home at the end of the day exploring. Coffee in the morning on the back patio with the mountains right there…perfection! I asked my husband to promise to bring me back here. Thank you for sharing your home with us all.

Amazing Stay at Quiet, Beautiful Cottage!
My wife and I spent a wonderful week at this cottage for our honeymoon. We had done our research and reviewed this listing carefully, but walking up to the cottage and opening the door took our breath away. While the cottage is older, it is in exquisite condition, and the owners have gone above and beyond to make it feel like home. The house is very clean, the beds are very comfortable , and the kitchen is fully stocked. We enjoyed eating our meals at the outside table. I would stay here again and again. 11/10 stars.

This was such a great stay! We didn't use the indoor shower once, eat fruits off the fruit trees and ate all of our meals outside. The property is jungle-y and private and has gorgeous views. It's secluded but also close to Hanalei - very unique location. Thanks for having us

Magical, peaceful cottage close to beautiful beaches, hiking & Hanalei
We absolutely loved Kristi’s cottage. Retreating to her peaceful sanctuary was just what we needed! Property manager, Kris, was awesome and super helpful. We loved playing board games, cooking fresh fish outside on the little grill, and the use of the beach chairs and surfboard/boogie board were big hits with our kids. The impeccable tropical landscaping is filled with orchids, hibiscus, fresh fruits & sweet Cocoa, the dog next door! The windows open in the evenings made for a perfect and cool rest at night. Aloha and mahalo for a most wonderful stay! We would love to return one day!

Wonderful Wainiha Cottage
This is a lovely cottage in a residential area of Wainiha on the north shore, about 15 minutes past Hanalei. A family of 4, we stayed here for a week over spring break and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property is lush and beautiful and the cottage is clean, and comfortable with 3 bedrooms, a full kitchen, laundry, and an outdoor patio. Beach towels, folding chairs, and snorkel gear provided was a welcome touch. There are no safe beaches within walking distance but it's only a short drive to some of the nicest beaches on Kauai including Tunnels Beach, Ke-e Beach, and Hanalei Bay. Lots of shopping and restaurants in Hanalei as well. Host was responsive, provided great directions (it's a little off the beaten path) and lots of recommendations for things to do in the area. This is a very different experience to staying in a resort and highly recommended for an authentic and relaxing Kauai vacation.

Perfect location and cottage
Very happy with our stay. The kitchen was well stocked with spices, oils, essentials for baking making it easy for me to cook for the kids. The beds are really comfortable and the trade winds were effective most nights and other nights we used the AC which worked well. Backyard was fun for the kids to explore. The neighbour's dog was really friendly and kids loved calling Coco day and night. The house is far from the main street so it was always quiet and peaceful. Stargazing at night was amazing. Clear view of the milky way and many shooting stars. Excellent location with short drive to Tunnels, Haena, Hanalei, Kahalahala.

So thankful
Wow- what a lovely spot in paradise! Everything about this rental is lovely and thoughtful for guests. The cutest and cleanest rental we know of, ever, in a lovely tropical yard, in a peaceful n'hood, with great access to incredible natural areas on the north shore. Loved waking up to the birds, the mountain views, the stars at night, the furnishings, nice linens; stocked with beach towels/beach chairs/coolers/local books and travel guides/board games, fully stocked kitchen. We were honestly sad to leave. Perfect for our family of 5, and we would love to return one day.

Living like a local on Kauai
We were lucky to find this quaint cottage during the peak holiday season. Owners and house manager were very accommodating letting us in early as we were in a bind moving from one place on island to this cottage. We are locals and needed an extra place to stay while building our house. House was clean, pictures are good reflection of the home. Cottage was super cozy and we loved being there. If this is your first time to Kauai this is really far north in the tropics and a total escape from tourist. Almost to the end of the road. Just know this is a real "locals" neighborhood and up a unmaintained country road. There is a quaint market on the corner and a restaurant at Hanalei Colony hotel down the road. About 15 min to Hanalei along the stunning single lane roads of the north shore. It is a true Hawaii cottage. Great place to escape. Thanks for the hospitality.

Perfect jungle house
We really loved our stay at Hale Huna! I stayed there with my two daughters, sister, and niece and there was plenty of room for all of us. You can tell a lot of love went into putting this house together, it's tastefully decorated, the kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to make a nice meal (with plenty of sauces in the fridge even!), and it's got lots of hooks inside and out for drying your wet beach stuff. Beach towels, chairs, a boogie board and foam surfboard - we felt like it was home away from home. I met a couple of neighbors who were super friendly and the neighborhood is tucked away in a secluded spot. My only comment would be to bring earplugs because a distant neighbor must be raising hounds and they howl a lot at night. My girls didn't notice it, but I'm a light sleeper so was happy to have my earplugs with me. The proximity IMO to the best part of Kauai is amazing! It was a short drive to everywhere we wanted to be and the Na Pali coast hiking was a highlight. Loved the rain at night and the beautiful garden to eat our meals in. Overall, we all loved it and would definitely stay here again!!
