Guest Review... "Having booked online, we were unsure of what we would be getting. Ray was responsive to my e-mail inquiries and helpful. Our rental was described as a studio, but it was far more! After some disappointments on Maui, we were thrilled to arrive at the beautiful Dawn Studio. The accommodations were extremely spacious and well appointed; Ray has excellent attention to detail. There is a reason for the name "Rainbow Kauai ". The panoramic vista greeted us daily with rainbows and the soothing chorus of nature in the rain forest. The location was perfect! The town of Hanalei is very nearby as well as spectacular secluded beaches and the stunning Kalalau trail. We enjoyed the perfect vacation!" - Julia W. - Philadelphia

"Hele on to Kauai" by IZ

Welcome to Kauai! We can accommodate a couple in Lily Pad Studio or a small family in Dawn Studio....

This new home stands tall with magnificent views up valley, and at 200 yds from beach, you'll hear the winter surf. This is a high end house at a budget price! Travertine floors, onyx bathroom counters, granite kitchen counters, and all brand new. Both ends are studio bedrooms with their own bathroom and kitchenette and entree. See Rates far bottom

This home is 3 years old, so, we are naturally protective of the wood floors, curtains, etc. and would like you to be also. All shoes and sand on feet come off at bottom of stairs! An elevator is available for elderly or wheel chair access or moving heavy luggage. Otherwise, it's two flights of stairs! We only rent to respectful people who are quiet enough not to disturb other guests or neighbors. If you like to party, best to find another place! Also, smoking is not allowed anywhere in house nor on lanai. If you love nature and want to experience the real Hawaii, and not a condo complex that could be anywhere, 'Rainbow Kauai' is for you!

We have been renting to honeymoon couples, couples, small families, for over 12 years on Kauai.

We are located 4 miles north of Hanalei, 1/4 mile north of Lumahai Beach where the movie South Pacific was filmed, 2 miles south of Tunnels Beach famed for snorkeling, and 4 miles south of Ke'e Beach which is the end of the highway and the beginning of the Kalalau Trail. This last 8 miles of coastline from Hanalei Town to Ke'e Beach is the most beautiful and sought after area on Kauai.

Unlike the South Side, there are no hotels here, no resorts, no stop lights! It is lush, tropical, natural and GREEN! ....Saturday, May 23, 2009 "The AP reports that Hanalei Bay on the Hawaiian island of Kauai was ranked as the best beach in the world by “Dr. Beach,” Stephen P. Leatherman, director of Florida International University’s Laboratory for Coastal Research. “The sheer beauty of Hanalei Bay is breathtaking."

Hanalei is a tiny town five minutes away with stores, gift shops, several restaurants, photo shop. Hanalei features the most beautiful white sand beach on Kauai. Princeville is another five minutes away with a larger grocery store, more restaurants and gas station, (and a zillion condos).

All spaces have internet, cable TV, a shared phone with free long distance calling, DVD player, CD player. There is washer and dryer shared by all. All have the same magnificent view :)

Here are your choices...

"Fantastic!"

Orange County, CA Review Submitted: August 7, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009

My 2 buddies and I loved it! It's easy to find and has easy access to beaches, trails and the Na Pali coast. The place was clean and really peaceful. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again.

"A Hidden Gem"

Sacramento, CA Review Submitted: September 24, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009

Breathtaking, marvelous, hospitable, is how I would describe our experience! The accommodations were very clean and the grounds well maintained and picturesque. Beautiful plants, trees and other foliage are plentiful on the property. We wanted to stay on the north shore to experience the scenery and stunning nature Kauai has to offer. We were not disappointed! Just a short drive to gorgeous Hanalei Bay and other great beaches, hiking and the Na Pali coast to the north. This is an excellent place to stay if you are looking for abundant nature, amazing views and a perfect location to take it all in.

"Fantastic Accommodations!"

Brooklyn NY Review Submitted: August 22, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009

We had a great stay at the Dawn Studio. Ray was a perfect host and had great tips for making the most of our trip to Hanalei. The apartment is kept in immaculate condition and had everything we needed. The location is very convenient to get to Lumahai and Tunnels Beaches, as well as to the Kalalau Trail. This is the perfect choice if you are looking for quiet and serene surroundings with beautiful views.

"Ahhhhh...serenity"

Philadelphia, PA Review Submitted: August 10, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009

Rainbow views was the most pleasant surprise of our 18 day Hawaiian vacation. I wish we had spent the entire time here! We stayed in the Dawn Studio; an immaculate apartment, well appointed & constructed with superb attention to detail. There was nothing lacking! Ray was extremely helpful and non-obtrusive. The property itself is gorgeous, greeting you daily with a chorus of tropical music and fabulous rainbows. Hanalei town is very close, but just far enough away. Beautiful beaches abound, as do very nice restaurants and shopping. What we most appreciated was the proximity to the remarkable Kalalau trail; this is a hiker's paradise. I would recommend Rainbow Views without hesitation; we felt as though we had discovered a well-kept secret!
A car is advisable.

"An outstanding house with spectacular views"

Berkeley, California USA Review Submitted: August 5, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009

My 6 person family just returned from two wonderful weeks at this property where we rented all three units (2 studios with a 1 bedroom in the middle). We could not have been happier; in fact, we were ecstatic.

All 3 units have incredible views up into the jungle and the mountains beyond, which change by the hour. There were beautiful rainbows almost every day, sometimes doubles. The grounds of the house have wonderful trees and flowers and several ponds which are full of fish and visited by exotic birds.

I t is clear that the house was built with extraordinary craftsmanship and the highest quality materials. We were completely satisfied with the kitchens, bathrooms and laundry facilities.

The house is within easy driving distance of some of Kauai's best beaches and the start of the world famous Kalalau trail.

All in all it was a terrific experience which we would recommend to anyone. We are all looking forward to a return trip!
