Riverfront Gardens Paddle to the Beach, Rejuvenation Peace & Quiet!

The Riverhouse at River Estate is a warm and inviting three-bedroom, two-bathroom sanctuary thoughtfully designed to blend timeless Hawaiian charm with modern comforts—perfect for families seeking both relaxation and adventure on Kauai’s North Shore. Inside, the spacious master suite offers a serene retreat with a Roku TV and a full bathroom, while the second bathroom features a stylish glass-enclosed tub and shower. Throughout the home, split system air conditioning and ceiling fans ensure a cool, comfortable atmosphere no matter the season.

The gourmet kitchen, with granite countertops and full appliances, invites you to prepare fresh island meals that can be enjoyed riverside on the screened main lanai, complete with a BBQ grill. Each bedroom boasts quality Persian rugs and vintage hardwood furniture from the 1930s and ’40s, alongside authentic vintage Hawaiian artwork that adds soul and character to the space. Rich cherry hardwood floors flow through the living areas, while textured Chinese tile graces the kitchen and bathrooms, creating a beautiful blend of elegance and island style.

The living room features a premium Tommy Bahama bamboo set and is equipped with high-speed internet, a Roku TV, books, games, and a wifi speaker to keep everyone entertained and connected. Thoughtful touches like liquid soaps, Kauai coffee, local cookies, and granola welcome guests and set the tone for a truly special stay. Outside, each bedroom opens to its own covered lanai furnished with comfortable chairs, perfect for morning coffee or quiet reflection. The home provides all the essentials for beach days—chairs, towels, boogie boards, umbrellas, and a cooler—so you can fully embrace the island lifestyle.

Covered parking and entry add convenience, while the peaceful setting on nearly two private riverfront acres beside offer a tranquil backdrop of tropical gardens and gentle river sounds. Here, you will find a perfect balance of elegance, comfort, and authentic island spirit—creating a memorable Kauai experience that feels like home from the moment you arrive.

The property is removed and very private, yet it's close to everything with quick and easy access to all the north shore of Kauai is famous for. When you leave on your daily adventures you’ll have quick and easy access to everything from the town of Hanalei to Ke’e beach which is the prime area that Kauai is world famous for. When you return you'll enter your own private world where everything else will disappear

Adventure awaits you at the house as well. if you choose to explore the area via the river it will take you only 10 minutes to paddle easily to a secluded beach thats pristine and crowd-free anytime you want.

We loved our stay at the river house. We didn’t want to leave. Mark was great! He answered all my questions and even had our kayak rentals waiting for us when we arrived. I love this location! Close to all of my favorite beaches and the best sunrise’s and snorkeling on Kauai. Perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty. Everyday was a beach day!

A magical house on the North Shore of Kauai with easy access to Haena State Park for hiking, Tunnels beach for snorkeling and all that Hanalei has to offer (beach, restaurants, equipment rental, etc.). The kitchen is well-outfitted, the rooms comfortable and there are beach chairs, a boogie board and some floats available for use. The owner was super communicative and helpful. We would stay there again.

Great place to stay!

Property was as advertised and well equipped. The location is fairly tucked away on a small river with two beaches close by. There was a small general store and coffee shop close by which were handy to avoid extra trips to Hanalei. Mark was very responsive so check in and out were simple. Would recommend.

The North Shore is our favorite spot on the planet and we’ve been fortunate to visit many times. Mark was hands down the best host of any property we’ve stayed at and he has a beautiful, comfortable home with all the amenities you could hope for. We had a marvelous time and would gladly book again.

Beautiful property and location. Well equipped kitchen with an air fryer. Ceiling fans throughout and a/c in each of the bedrooms. Mark is a very accommodating host who arranged for us to rent bikes and had them delivered. Lovely screened in lanai. Small market within walking distance. Had a great day on a short bike ride to Tunnels Beach where we snorkeled for the day.
