Fresh, Bright, Cute. Near Hanalei! Walk to the ocean in minutes.

Location, location, location! Guests love how easy it is to enjoy a leisurely walk through a quiet end of the road neighborhood to majestic views of Hanalei Bay! And even walk down to the ocean! Right from your door! Enjoy the tasty and epic location of Nourish Hanalei acai bowls, cold brew coffee, wraps and more at the end of the road!

Aloha and Welcome to Hale Honu O Hanalei ~ House of the Turtle.

This hidden jewel sits on the ridge above the Hanalei Valley on Kauai's tropical North Shore. Tucked away on a quiet side road, and walking distance to one of the North Shore's best-kept secret beach trails. A simple 1 mile walk and you are at Puu Poa Beach at the gorgeous 1Hotel Hanalei Bay. Our home is outside of the hustle and bustle of Princeville, yet only minutes from gorgeous beaches, hikes, groceries, restaurants, shops, World Class golf courses, historic Hanalei town and more! This bright, simple and classically furnished condo is the perfect retreat and home base for exploring all Kauai has to offer. Perfectly situated in a small community of only 20 townhomes, the vibe is laid back, local and peaceful.

Everything about this townhome gives you a peaceful, easy feeling. You will feel welcomed the moment you enter with a spacious and comfortable living room. The fully equipped kitchen includes a brand New Vitamix, brand new French press and brand new toaster making it easy to prepare tasty meals at home. Right off the kitchen is a brand new stacked front-load washer and dryer.

The private and cozy back lanai is a perfect place for a morning coffee or fresh fruit from the local farmers market. The jungle view offers the sounds of birds and avocados when in season.

Upstairs you will find two tastefully decorated bedrooms ( 1 king/1 queen ), quality linens, along with trade winds and ceiling fans to cool down the days and nights. One bathroom with tub completes.

After dinner enjoy an easy walk to a stunning overlook gazing out on Hanalei Bay and the best sunsets ever. There is a 1 mile walk to Puu Poa beach through a lovely, groomed trail that takes you right down to Hanalei Bay. For the more adventurous you can even cross the Hanalei River and walk the Hanalei Beach or go into town! There are endless walking trails, golf courses, bike paths, hiking trails, and world class tennis courts all in Princeville, and all a walk or short drive away.

Just a short drive down to Hanalei and you can enjoy the historic town, it's quaint shops, local artists, great dining, surf, swim, bike and kayak rentals, smoothie bars and hikes.

And there is no shortage of places to hike on the north shore! The world famous Kalalau Trail of the Napali coast is a 20 min drive along the breathtaking coast to the end of the road at Ke'e beach where the trail begins. Closer still is a little known hike just across the historic Hanalei Bridge and through the taro fields. The views from the top are out of this world!

If you like to surf, the world renowned Hanalei Bay, Kalihiwai and Kahilis are all minutes away on the north shore.

For snorkelers the North Shore's famous Tunnels/Makua beach, Ke'e and Anini Beach are yours to enjoy.

Of course relaxing and doing nothing is great too! Whether you are on a family vacation, romantic holiday, girls getaway, a long term stay in paradise, or an epic surf trip, our home will fulfill your dreams of living the island life in comfort and ease. The entire townhome is yours for your stay!

We even have you covered with beach chairs, boogie boards, beach towels, beach toys, cooler, umbrella and some beach toys.

We invite you to kick off your shoes and make yourself at home. If there is anything we can do to make your stay more comfortable, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Our condo is a legal vacation rental and registered with the county. Please note as a previous guest was confused, this condo has a beautiful jungle view, not a view of Hanalei Bay.

Barbecues may not be used. See House Rules for additional information.

*Stays of 3 weeks or more require host approval* Please reach out. Mahalo!

Perfect Spot!

We had such a great time visiting the North Shore and staying at Kristina’s property. It started out great with her quick responses when I had questions before booking and along the way leading up to our stay. We were welcomed with cute gifts and the place was perfect for what we needed. The location was great and the community was very quiet. There was an avocado tree out back that my husband would go out every morning and collect fresh avocados for our breakfast. I would definitely recommend this spot!

Aloha Rest!!

Our stay was excellent and the home was perfect. We cooked meals, used the chairs and umbrella on the beach, enjoyed the fresh air on the back deck. Market was supper close, Hanelei Bay was an excellent location for relaxing on the beach and took only about 5mins to drive there. The location was just wonderful and we would highly recommend to those looking for a quiet relaxing place to stay and enjoy the island from. Mahalo!!!

We wanted to avoid small spaces like you would get at a hotel and this place was perfect for my little kids to run around. The townhome was clean and had everything you need. It was also close to beaches and hikes. The host was responsive and accommodated us with changes to our schedule. Definitely recommend to anyone with a small family.

Little Gem in Hanalei/Princeville Area

The property is located in an ideal part of the north shore with easy access to many adventures in and around both Hanalei and Princeville and over to many of the beaches on the northern coast. We loved everything about this place from its location to the modern layout with splendid wooden floors, kitchen and living space to the lanai out back providing a place of serenity (including the avocado tree)! The host was very responsive and made checkin in/out a breeze. We were very sad to leave (it’s that good)! Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to enjoy a little piece of heaven on Kauai’s north shore. Next time we come back we would definitely stay here again!

Hidden Gem

If your planning on staying on the North side of Kauai with family including an 18 month old. This is the place for you. The owner Kristina is on top of it. We truly felt really comfortable with this bungalow. It's near the local market and urgent care facility, not to mention the fire station is right on the corner. The hike to poo poa beach is fun. This place and scenery are spectacular.

Lovely home with a fantastic view! Kristina’s home was the perfect size for our family of 4. The view upon entering her street is breathtaking. I found the mattresses and bedding to be very comfortable. The rooms were very airy and great breeze for sleeping in the evenings. The house was equipped with everything we would’ve needed for our stay. There’s a walk that can take you to Pu’u Poa beach, the path itself was stunning. This is definitely a home we’d like to revisit in the future.

Family Time

My husband and friend connected with my son who lives on Kauai and the location of Kristina's VRBO was close to our son's place. We enjoyed walking from the condo to the beach for morning swims, about a 20 minute walk. The modern, comfortable condo was extremely clean and well supplied with everything we needed including boogie boards and beach chairs. The kitchen was a nice sized for our family meals and had everything we needed for cooking. We enjoyed going to the nearby farmer's markets, beaches and hiking areas. I would definitely stay again in the future.
