"River Estate is a beautiful home about 15 minutes (driving) from Hanalei. I chose this home because we wanted a quiet place to relax after a difficult year, and River Estate hit the mark. The house is beautiful and clearly loved. The kitchen is very well equipped (more so than most I've seen) with an air fryer, toaster, blender, microwave, food processor (most of which we didn't have a chance to use) and very complete set of dishes and glassware. Furniture is comfy, and we ate all of our meals on the screened lanai overlooking the river and the trees. Very relaxing! Bathrooms are well stocked with towels, and there are beach towels as well. We never had a chance to float down the river to the private beach but we could catch a glimpse of it from the road, and it would have been a great place to check out. Alas, when traveling with a little one walking on the road isn't a good option. There are only 3 houses on the property and we didn't actually ever see the people, it's very private. When arriving (especially the first day), be sure to use Mark's instructions, they were perfect. It really is JUST before the two bridges and you will miss it if you aren't watching. Mark was very helpful in solving any problem that came up for us. We were traveling with our 13 month old grandson (for the first time) and Mark was able to rent a crib and high chair for us, which was great, as we had enough stuff to bring for the baby without trying to bring those!We really enjoyed our stay!"

"Great stay in a jungle treehouse. A well-kept house that was very well stocked. Dog barking was the only challenge. Earplugs and sound machines did help some. "

"This is the third time we have stayed here. I love this house. Everything works and there are plenty of things for the beach and all of it is in good working order. It is on the north end and in such a lovely quiet neighborhood. The beach is close by, but there is also a beautiful view of the mountains from the deck. The outside shower is a lovely addition. "

"A wonderfully stocked house in a gorgeous setting. A screened lanai offered great early morning coffee and late evening dinner/drinks. Wonderful art work & pottery displayed. Multiple fans throughout the house helped keep us cool. The bed was so comfortable and the AC in the bedroom was very much appreciated to cool down the heat of the day. And it was close to several excellent beaches, great restaurants, a local market which had lots to offer, bigger markets in Hanalei... all in all, a great location. "

"Kauai Vacation Rentals did an excellent job. Their staff was always helpful and went above and beyond for us. They made this an amazing stay in beautiful Kauai. The house was very inviting, and the grounds were very beautiful. "

"This was our second stay at the home. The environment is serene and peaceful inside and out. The backyard view is the big prize. Trust the photos. If anything they don’t fully capture the magic. The host is amazing. Very responsive and helpful. The kitchen is well equipped. Beds comfortable. Love the house design and soothing color scheme. Enjoyed walking to Tunnels Beach. Also enjoyed the Na Pali Coast hike, the sunset at Ke’e Beach, and exploring Secret Beach. The north side in general is visually stunning. Highly recommend. "

"We loved our stay. The garden surroundings were out of this world! I could go on and on about this topic alone… Toni and Samson made us feel so welcome. The tiki hut was spotless, and appointed with touches that made it feel like we were in a home rather than a rental. The location is perfect for a beach holiday, just 5-10 mins walk down a path to one of the best beaches on Kauai. "

"Stayed in a newly-renovated beachfront unit in F building and it was very sleek, clean, and modern. Great views! Almost felt like I was over the water. Japanese soaker tub in the unit & rainfall shower. Very nice. Beautiful property and very nice staff and amenities. Very beautiful place. "

"We loved our stay at Haena House and the close proximity to Tunnels Beach where we spent many days during our stay snorkeling, swimming, and beach combing. The property was exceptionally clean and the layout was perfect for our family of four adults. We had many meals on the spacious decks. The home also had beach chairs, towels, and umbrellas for use during our visits to the beach.Staying in Haena is a bit remote with Hanalei being our choice for most dinners (15 min drive). The magical Limahuli Botanical Garden is a short 5 minute drive and a must do. We did lose power twice for extended periods (once due to storm) so recognize that is a risk for a more remote location."
