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.

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.

Wonderful property in a beautiful area of Kauai.
This house was everything we needed for two couples. Various spaces were available to spread out and the amenities were excellent. We even had a visitor cat who was the sweetest possible each day. Thank you!

Beautiful
What a beautiful property. Perfectly equipped for me and my husband’s honeymoon. We even made friends with the neighborhood cat. Loved the whole vibe of the place and how it mirrors that of the north side of the island. Would definitely rent again! Also, I’m from a dry climate and was worried about warm, humid nights, but the ample air conditioning available in the home was wonderful and provided for very comfortable sleeps.

Reminiscing on Kauai
Photos looked a little better than the reality of the place. But, it was very comfortable. While the gate was a gate, it didn't lock or open/close automatically. Overall, I was very comfortable.

Barefoot Hideaway is the perfect getaway
This was our second time staying at Donna’s lovely cottage. We love it there! It looks exactly as it does in the pictures. It is maybe a five minute walk to a beautiful beach that we loved snorkeling at. You will not be disappointed. We will definitely be back a third time. Thanks, Donna!

Best north shore accomodation
The place was very clean and thoughtfully equipped with supplies for a relaxing stay. Ample outdoor space to enjoy reading in a lounge chair or to nap in a hammock. Location is very convenient to the North shore area. A short walk to a beach or a short drive to the Haena Beach or Park. Donna, our host, was very responsive and kind.

A wonderful stay!
We loved everything about Barefoot Hideaways! The home came equipped with everything we’d need for a 10 day stay on the island. All the beach equipment and the wagon made our daily beach adventures easy to pull off. The proximity to Tunnels and other access points was ideal. The kitchen is well equipped with all we needed and the bedrooms and bathrooms perfectly comfortable. We recommend the house to anyone looking for a perfect North Shore getaway. We truly hope to be back soon. Aloha!

Lovely and comfortable stay
The property is beautiful, private with lots of lovely spaces to enjoy the gorgeous north shore. Mattresses are super comfy and the hosts provided everything we needed, from toiletries to kitchen essentials, including coffee. A short shuttle ride (or walk) takes you to the beautiful Hae’na and tunnels beach (or, with reservations, the incredible Ke’e beach and Nepali hike). The restaurant at the nearby resort is fairly nice, and definitely try the smoothie shop and small grocery about three minutes east. Manolo, Shannon!

A dream come true
Our stay at Haena was a dream come true. We stayed there for a week, and everything was great. On the first day, there was an annoying noise, and we sent Donna a message. She took care of it immediately and even came by. We were able to solve the problem quickly. The house has everything you need and much more, including a lot of items for the beach. Donna's tips were also very helpful. You can see that a lot of love has gone into this house, and you really feel the Aloha spirit. We will definitely come back! Mahalo, Donna!"

We really enjoyed our stay at the house in Haena. It was in a great location, only a few blocks from the beach. The interior of the house was very clean and bright. The grounds outside were lush with many plants and trees. The kitchen had everything we needed and the outside grill worked very easily.
