This was our 3rd time in this stunning home. We fell in love with it at first sight- the backyard view before we even entered the home. The view is magical. The home is serene, peaceful, comfortable, and soothing. Zen-like design, warm colors, uncluttered. High quality bedding, furnishings, and other amenities. Rain or shine we adored the lanai. The hosts are kind, responsive, friendly, caring, and welcoming. While the photos are great, the actual visuals inside and outside are magnificent. Highly recommend.

Beautiful

The property and location are perfect. We wanted a quiet, peaceful vacation and that is exactly what we got. The beauty of this property is difficult to put into words. We spent so much time on the lanai just in awe of the beauty. We walked to the beach each day and it was so nice to have chairs, umbrellas, and anything else you can think of! I can only hope we have the opportunity to return one day. I never wanted to leave!

Amazing property!

This place was absolute paradise!! It was clean, well stocked, and the back lanai was amazing! We saw the cows and donkeys daily, enjoyed both the sun and rain while relaxing. The deck bathtub is an amazing feature! We will be back for sure! The towns of Wainiha and Hanalei Bay are easy to get to, this location is perfection!

The property is even prettier in person than in the photos. Very quiet and very clean as well. The house had everything we needed for our stay. We road the bikes provided to the park and followed the walking map to Tunnels Beach. The outdoor shower and bath were great too. Thank you for the pleasure of staying at your beautiful property.

Absolutely beautiful property!!!

We had the pleasure of staying at this property for 4 days. The views are breathtaking, we enjoyed a quiet evening bath on the lanai. Enjoyed waking up to the wild horses and donkeys in the back pastures. If you get the opportunity to stay, 4 days was just not enough. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your home and building beautiful memories with my family.

Perfect Hawaiian home

Such a cute tranquil little spot. It’s what I envisioned when I thought of staying in a traditional Hawaiian home. Green mountains out the back door, farm animals roaming on the other side of the fence, lush gardens all around, cozy lanai. Walking distance to Tunnels was a perk. Loved it all!

So happy with our stay in this peaceful little house. (Actually, not so little). House is as described. Communication with the host was very quick and easy. Absolutely loved the outdoor bath and the backyard. Fun to ride bikes around the area. Will definitely be staying here again!

Charlie and Lydia’s house is magnificent and their hosting efforts sublime - the photos do not do it justice. First, the house is a timberframe with a private back yard and huge lanai perfect for relaxation. The house is wood, marble and stone with gorgeous touches … a huge comfy couch in front of a big screen TV/Wifi, every coffee lovers dream with countless options for coffee making, first rate mattresses and linens, and bathrooms that are a pleasure to shower in! Even more, however, was that when we discovered a really minor issue — the beach umbrella was broken — later that day, their property manager (who we never met), Lana, left a perfect replacement on our doorstep. Thank you, Lydia, for sharing you little slice of heaven with us. There is nothing that I can suggest — the house, its location and the touches arranged by Lana are just perfect.

Gorgeous Home

We stayed here for a very short honeymoon. This was absolutely amazing. From the rooms, the full kitchen, and the amenities, to the view and location, this could not have been better. We even got to say hello to the cows, horse, and donkeys next door. It was a dream come true.

We visit Kauai about every 4 months, but this was our first time staying at Charles and Lydia’s home. It was by far our favorite stay. Charles and Lydia were so very helpful and welcoming. The backyard is our new favorite spot on the island, we loved all of the horse, donkey, and cow visitors. The home makes you feel like you have the island all to yourself.

Island Magic

This place is quite possibly perfect. The lanai with the daily visit from the farm animals, the nightly bath in the outdoor tub, the outdoor shower after waking to the best beach on the island, and the full kitchen to cook in, not to mention everything you need for the beach and a big hike. All I can say is thank you. Our second stay, we will be back. Hosts are incredible all around.

Dreamlike vacation home

This was our second time staying at this house. We are already planning our 3rd trip there. The house is very clean, beds are comfortable, fluffy towels, and a well stocked kitchen. They also have everything you would need for the beach. But the best part is the outside views! We almost never wanted to leave the lanai. The views are dreamlike. From rainbows to waterfalls, and horses walking around the back area it’s spectacular. The outdoor shower and bath are a major perk! We can’t wait to go back.
