From the Host
Wainiha Beach House sits in Kauai’s lush far north, offering old-style Hawaii living with a stream in the yard and sweeping ocean views. Surrounding nature—waterfalls, rainbows, birds—and nearby trails set the mood for a grounded, nature-forward stay. The home sits on a slow-driving stretch near a narrow bridge, so you may hear passing traffic at times, and cell service can be spotty. The bedroom layout runs in a row, making it best for guests who don’t need strong privacy between rooms, and public beach access is a short drive away.
