Beautiful Location - Great Rental
Reviewed on 2024-07-28 by Edith R. , Los Angeles, CA United StatesThe house has a perfect beachfront access and beautiful views from the front yard and Lanai. Beds are comfy on the Medium Firm side. A/C in both rooms makes it very comfy. There was a lot of spices and oils in the cabinet, check before you shop. Great Check in/Out process and responsive managers! Mahalo!

Perfect beach/ocean location
Reviewed on 2024-05-06 by , emerald hills, CA USNice airy house in perfect location. Lots of good things. Kettle,toaster,Airfryer,oven,cooktop,gas BBQ grill. Main bedroom is lovely. Second bedroom is a big disappointment. We were 2. But if there had been another couple there would be a short straw. Gloomy and Smells musty and is uninviting due to washer being in there. No teaspoons and only 2 decent wine glasses. Also dishwasher out of use.
Dream Vacation
Reviewed on 2023-08-25 by Marilyn R. , Austin, TX UnknownThis is a beautiful home in the pacific beachfront. The home was pristine and well cared for. We spent many hours on the lanai enjoying cool breezes and enjoying the beautiful view. The house is about 20 minutes from the nearest town and tucked away from the main road. It is very easy easy to get to and from shopping and restaurants.
Magical View
Reviewed on 2023-06-16 by , Grants Pass, OR 97526, OR USThe home was in a great location, very close to nice beaches. Home is well laid out and plenty of space for our family of four. The oven was not working and the property management brought over a air fryer/toaster oven that worked in it's place. Kitchen cabinets could use some TLC but other than those things it was as advertised and a great home. On the right side of the home it is on a path to the beach that sees alot of foot traffic so be advised if you were looking for privacy. There are nice restaurants a few miles away and a fish market if you want to cook. Just a great relaxing stay! Mahalo!

Yes!
Reviewed on 2023-05-31 by Bill Q. , Palo Alto, CA United StatesMakana Akua is a quiet, well maintained, comfortable home on the beach within walking distance of Tunnels. The house is exactly as it is represented in the photos. We loved the neighborhood and the overall location. Hawaii Life provided good service, and communication with our island host, Justin was great. We'll be back for longer next time. It would have been nice to have had portable loungers to set up on the lawn in that gorgeous, shady backyard. Thank you!
Beautiful stay!
Reviewed on 2023-03-11 by , Bainbridge Island, WA United StatesWe had a wonderful stay at Makana Akua Haena. The beachfront location is absolutely beautiful and the house was very comfortable and well-appointed. The kitchen was great for making all our meals "at home". We loved the surrounding location in a quiet neighborhood and with such close proximity to stunning Tunnels Beach. The manager was very responsive and helpful. We are already planning our return.
Sublime Stay at Makana Akua
Reviewed on 2023-02-16 by Julie E. , Mill Valley, CA USWe spent a beautiful and relaxing week at this beautiful home on the North Shore. We came as a couple and spent a portion of the week with friends who also were wowed by the comfortable home and beautiful ocean view from the back deck. We enjoyed both going out to dinner in Hanalei, but ended up cooking and eating at "home" more than we have ever done on vacation, because it was so much fun to hang out at the house. While we were visiting the weather was perfect, but the ocean was rough (all over the North Shore), so we ended up exploring and swimming at safer spots. We plan to come back in spring or summer so that we can swim right outside the house.

Beautiful, private home on the north shore of Kauai
Reviewed on 2023-01-03 by Ashley P. , McLean, VA USAbsolutely lovely, spacious, private property on the north shore of Kauai! Our family of four loved our stay. If we ever decide to build a beach home, this is the home we would build. The space is great. Tons of natural light. Direct access to a quiet beach. Close to the Nepali range and a. short drive from the cute town of Hanalei Bay. Can't imagine a better place to stay.

Cant beat this view and location.
Reviewed on 2022-06-21 by Edith R. , Los Angeles, CA UnknownWe loved staying at this spot, we always stay in Haena and this has been one of my top houses. The view is spectacular, we were so close to tunnels we could walk over if there wasn't any parking. Clean house and responsive crew.

Pristine Beachfront Home
Reviewed on 2022-01-27 by , Los Angeles, CA United StatesOur family of four (two kids ages 9 and 6) had an incredible stay! Location could not be better - beachfront with your own private trail steps to the sand and a nearly private beach. We especially loved the gorgeous lanai, large grassy backyard, and ocean views from nearly every room. The house was spacious, with an open floorplan and lovely vaulted ceilings. We definitely plan to be back!
