Kauai Beach Villa

10 Airbnbs Near Great Hiking Trails - AFAR

"This beachfront cottage on Kaua‘i’s secluded North Shore sits directly on more than 270 feet of ocean frontage and is literally steps from the sand, offering frequent wildlife sightings—hosts warn digital nomads that sea turtles and humpback whales can drift by during Zoom calls. Guests are provided reusable stainless steel water bottles for exploring nearby Hā‘ena State Park and the challenging Kalalau Trail, an 11-mile coastal route that was the original path used by native Hawaiians; after two miles you reach Hanakāpīʻai Beach with an optional two-mile detour to a 120-foot waterfall, while continuing along the trail requires a permit as it steeply climbs roughly 800 feet over towering sea cliffs." - Nicholas DeRenzo
