About this house rental
Hale Koolau Estate (Main House + Treehouse), Haena
Permitted Vacation Rental Property - Permit ID: TVNCU #1017 and TVNC #1018
Transient vacation rental is located in the tsunami evacuation zone
On the north shore of Kauai, Hale Koolau Estate sits behind wooden gates and among the tropical landscape of a private, half-acre (2023m2) lot. With spectacular views of Bali Hai (Mt. Makana) and just a short stroll to Tunnels (Makua) beach. Hale Koolau Estate invites guests to immerse themselves in an authentic island lifestyle.
The main home, Hale Koolau, is a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom getaway drenched in natural light and boasts an expansive, wraparound lanai, perfect for indoor/outdoor living. The master bedroom has a California King-size bed and en suite bathroom with a stone shower. The second bedroom has a queen-size bed. The large, third bedroom aka the bunk room is separate from the main house and can sleep up to nine guests and has an attached bathroom.
Hale Koolau's outdoor shower refreshes you after a day of hiking the cliffs of the Na Pali coast or an afternoon of swimming in the blue Pacific Ocean. Relax on the lanai, where views of emerald green mountains constantly remind you of the appeal of island life. Soak in the newly added hot tub after a day of play.
Canopied in tropical foliage is Hale Koolau Treehouse, the second home on the estate. Vacation like you’re living among the treetops in a charming and bright, one-bedroom/one-bath house on Kauai’s north shore. The Treehouse is complete with all amenities including Air Conditioning.
This cozy island getaway features a large master suite with a king-size bed and private lanai. The Rainforest granite, hand-made copper sinks and full-size washer and dryer make this treehouse lush with modern amenities and style.
Enjoy the island life when you take in the spectacular mountain views from the lanai, grill on the BBQ, or refresh yourself in the outdoor shower.
Take a short stroll to Tunnels (Makua) beach, best known for snorkeling, surfing, and sunsets. No need to leave Haena to explore the Maniniholo Dry Cave or hike the rugged Na Pali Coast. Wander to world-famous Hanalei town, just a 10-minute drive away, for restaurants and shopping.
Escape civilization and enjoy paradise at the private retreat known as Hale Koolau Estate.

House was just as beautiful as the pictures online, super clean & comfortable. Kitchen was equipped with everything you would want. Loved the large table on the deck for breakfast & our Thanksgiving dinner. There were tons of beach towels & beach chairs. Grandsons loved the bunk room & the big front yard to play in. Easy walk to beach.

The property is incredible. The management company is as well. Uncontrollable issues at the property happened the morning we were supposed to check in and they did everything to make sure we were considered and taken care of. Will definitely try to stay here again if we make it back to the island. Highly recommend.

This place is amazing. We had 14 people and everyone had a comfortable place to sleep. (The couch in the tree house is a pull out bed!) There was also so much open space outside. From the patio area under the house to the patio area in front of the bunk room, everyone was able to spread out however they wanted to eat meals or just get away from the madness. The location of the property is perfect for Tunnels beach which, hands down, has the best snorkeling access. It is also close to the Na Pali Coast Hike trailhead. This allowed the group that went on the hike to easily just walk back to the house (2 miles) and we didn’t have to worry about parking. (You do need a permit to hike). The pictures do not do this place justice. It is so spacious and has a lot of kitchen appliances. The company is very hospitable and provides towels, snorkeling gear, boogie boards, beach chairs/umbrellas, detergent, and even has a good car vacuum to help clean the sand from the cars. (Also, plenty of room to park multiple cars which we needed) Overall, if you are looking for a place that is spacious and beautiful, this is the place for you.

Reviewer Comments:
Our family of 10 stayed for a week and we LOVED the estate and all the living spaces ! The living areas flowed right out to the wrap around decks where we could enjoy the beautiful garden with tropical plants and many lovely birds ! As our 3 year old grandson said , while rocking in a big rocking chair on the deck , “ it doesn’t get any better than this !” The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals and store all of our food ! We enjoyed eating our meals out in the long table on the deck ! We appreciated the beach gear including coolers , tents , chairs snorkel gear and a few toys ! The beach towels were huge and very nice , too ! We had plenty of room for parking our 3 cars . The bunk room was perfect for our son , daughter in law and grandsons to spread out and enjoy . The treetop house was dreamy either the best views of all ! The main house was perfect for gathering and enjoying one another . All spaces were super clean and well organized . We loved it all !!
