This was our 4th time to stay at Judy's house, and we love it every time! The house is always clean and the kitchen has everything you need for a stay. We love the quick walk down to the beach, the covered back patio, and the quiet nights out in the Kauai North country. Looking forward to our next trip out to Haena!

Wonderful stay, beautiful house, walking distance to Tunnels beach for great snorkeling (conditions permitting), pretty quiet most of the time, especially in the evenings, clean, kitchen well stocked with cookware and condiments, nice big screen tv, and...best of all, air conditioning that works! and can be adjusted to taste per room. Highly recommend.

Our whole Kauai experience was spectacular! This home, the Kalalau trail, the beaches, sunsets, the Slow-Yourself-Down one-lane bridges vibe, and the weather. We felt blessed! Quaint little Hanalei was a sweet spot for our 18 year old daughter. Ahh, and the shave ice!! We loved reading everyone's reviews for this home during the year we waited for this dream trip to come true. Found everything just as described, very comfortable and relaxing. Wish we could have stayed for a long, long time! Thankyou for sharing your home!

Oh, how we loved this place! The house is beautiful and has everything you need and more. We spent most of our time at home on the back deck watching and listening to birds. The outdoor tub and shower were a nice bonus too. Proximity to a wonderful beach and great snorkeling makes this place ideal. Judy was very responsive when the power went out the first morning. The next door neighbor is super nice and friendly and you may have donkeys and cows wander by the back yard. Don’t hesitate to book! Only downside is mosquitoes!!!

The communication was prompt, friendly, and helpful. Easy instructions to follow. Beautiful home, apart from the great location feeling removed from the business but accessible to Hanalei, we really loved the back patio. It was a great place for a morning coffee and we even saw chickens, cows, and donkey grazing at the edge of the tree! Would recommend to anyone looking to visit this side of the island.

My husband and I love Haena and Tunnels Beaches. This house was on our list to try because it was within walking distance to Tunnels. It did not disappoint! The house was clean and had everything we needed for our visit. I loved sitting on the deck hearing the beautiful bird sounds. The neighborhood was quiet and relaxing. I absolutely loved the outdoor shower. Judie's place is stunning and the only mistake we made was not booking a longer stay! I want to go back next year. I'd rate this higher than five stars if i could. Thank you Judie!

The house is perfect. I traveled with four teenagers between 15-19 and every single one of us loved the house. It is spotless clean, packed with anything you could possibly need in terms of kitchen and beach supplies, and the outdoor shower and bathtub bring even the most stressed out person down to a place of peace. We had mostly rain over our 8 days which led to great cooked dinners at the house, lots of cards and wet yet beautiful walks down Hā’ena beach and Tunnels. The personal touches are everywhere in this home. We will be back….tomorrow if we could swing it.
