Perched on a peninsula 160 feet above the Pacific Ocean, on what many say is the best lot in the Princeville Resort, our 3 bedroom, 4 bath home offers spectacular white water views from Makana Mountain (Bali Hai) to the Kilauea Lighthouse. Secluded from the street with a private infinity edged pool and covered lanai, our 3300-sf home is a perfect place to experience island living at its best.
From the front door, walk into the expansive living room which frames the ocean to the north and features a sixteen foot built-in entertainment center with a 75 inch Smart TV connected to cable and wifi streaming. Each of the three bedrooms, with en suite baths, boasts unparalleled ocean views, Smart TVs, and quality bedding. A fourth full bath is available in the garage as a mudroom. The large, fully-equipped kitchen hosts stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a killer view down the coast - perfect for any home cook or chef. The 400-sf outdoor lanai faces west where the sun splashes into the ocean from April to September of each year. Walk down the terraced peninsula and look below to watch sea turtles (honu) swimming along the reef, or better yet, if you're a strong swimmer, take a 15 minute hike and swim with them. No sand or exercise for you? Then simply walk outside the front door to a 30 foot infinity edge swimming pool and enjoy the sun and tropical breezes from there. An evening in the hot spa, stargazing in the dark sky, puts the final touches on a perfect Hawaiian day.
Weather is unpredictable on this tropical island, however different times of year offer unique surprises. Winter occasionally brings heavy wind and rain, but, with that, comes glorious rainbows and waterfalls cascading down the mountainsides which are visible from our home. Large swells bring picture perfect waves and, if they're big enough, you may watch the tow-in surfers braving the heights from outside or inside the house. Humpback whales leave the cold waters of Alaska and travel to our islands to mate and have their young. There's nothing quite as magical as watching a 40- to 50-foot mammal breach clear out of the water and splash right in front of your eyes. Finally the awkward-on-land, but incredibly graceful-in-air albatross share our community starting in November as a safe place to find a mate or lay their egg. These sea birds are magnificent, and they soar around the home for your viewing. Once hatched, the large fuzzy babies stay at their nests for months in various yards up and down the street.
Summer is less dynamic, but the warm, calm days allow for more outdoor fun. From our property, you may watch the sun rise and set over the water bringing with it some of the most beautiful colors in the sky. Each evening holds a hope that there will be a "green flash" as the last vision of the sun sinks below the horizon. Cool breezes make the lanai a perfect place to be, especially on Fridays when the cruise ship passes by. Ready for a swim? Jump in the pool or take a short walk down the hill to the hidden "Sea Lodge Beach" where there are trees for sitting in the shade, and a shallow coral reef for snorkeling. Use one of the four bikes to cruise around the neighborhood, or drive three minutes to try your hand at tennis or golf. Restaurants, shops, and a grocery store are 3 minutes away. Of course, there is also a whole island to explore with endless numbers of beaches, hikes, activities, and some of the most beautiful scenery in the...

We spent nine unforgettable days and nights at Honu Point to celebrate our anniversary. Rae-Marie was an incredible host who communicated so well throughout the entire process. The property was clean, well-kept, and came fully stocked with kitchenware, bathroom tissue, flashlights, towels, soap, etc. What we loved most about Rae-Marie and Tom's home was its fantastic, sweeping views. Every morning we woke up to a beautiful sunrise over the water, saw turtles swimming below the bluff during the day, and went to sleep after an equally beautiful sunset over the ocean at night. The property, with its lush landscaping and private pool, felt secluded, yet we were just a short drive away from restaurants, stores, and activities. It was so special to be there during the albatross fledging season. We would definitely stay here again, perhaps bringing our family next time, to share in such a peaceful, restorative, and sacred place. Thank you, Rae-Marie and Tom!

I don’t think you can stay at a better place! The views are incredible. To be able to have a pool & spa and a large grassy area, all with ocean views, is amazing. The house is wonderfully appointed and we had access to lots of beach gear we took advantage of. We hope to be back soon, don’t hesitate on this house!

Absolutely gorgeous property given the pool, spa and landscaping as well as the 180 degree view of the ocean.
The house is quite airy and comfortable throughout. The kitchen is huge! The lanai offers spectacular views all day long. It really was an awesome and relaxing vacation! We hope to visit again soon!

Honu Point is simply spectacular. The cliff setting offers views that are some of the best in the world. Truly. It is private and quiet with landscaping that feels like a botanical garden. As valuable is how organized, clean, and well-equipped the home is - quality dish and cookware, high quality linens, bikes, beach chairs, snorkel gear, boogie boards, and more. Enjoying the sunset from the hot tub after a hike or fun at the beach was a daily event. The love and care put into the property shows, and it made our stay that much more enjoyable. We’ve rented quite a few luxury properties, and Honu Point is one of the best. Thank you Rae-Marie and Tom. We will be back.

This is possibly the most beautiful spot on the island! Every room has a beautiful view. Close to several wonderful restaurants and a gorgeous golf course. Planning to return next year for a month! A week just isn’t long enough.

This is truly a beautiful property! The house had everything we wanted and more. Enjoyed whale watching each morning and evening from the house and the location is perfect for exploring this beautiful island. The property owners were extremely helpful and accommodating. Sorry we had to leave but have wonderful memories.

This home is the best VRBO we have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. From the initial communication the owner was warm, open and charming. The home reflects attention to detail, from the forever-views of the ocean in every room, to the well appointed kitchen, to the salt water infinity pool with hot tub, to the very placement of the home on the property. Passing through the culdesac gates transforms you into your own world of nature, surf and beauty. Truly one of the most special homes we have had the great fortune to experience. Much love, thought and care went into Honu Point and you feel it to your very core. A very special place on Kauai.

If you're looking for private luxury on the north shore of Kauai this is your place! Spectacular views from within the home and from all over the property! Sunrises, sunsets, stars at night, not to mention the the ever present and always welcome rhythmic sound of the surf! We were only two, but three couples could easily be comfortable here and still have individual privacy. The home is so well thought out and there are so many details attended to - you'd be hard pressed not to have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I mean heck, there was even a luggage scale in the master closet - who thinks of that?! Communication was clear, courteous and prompt! The home was exceptionally clean (we've rented multiple places with pools and this was by far the most clean/well maintained!). Kitchen and pantry had just about anything you could imagine. Highly recommend and hope to visit again some day! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

This house is exactly as described. The host was most pleasant and hospitable. First class accommodations, views, and amenities. Excellent location in a quiet neighborhood. A perfect stay from start to finish.

This is a beautiful home with unsurpassed views. It's convenient to restaurants, basic necessities and the places you'll want to see, but at the same time feels very secluded even though it's in a great neighborhood. The pictures may seem too good to be true, but the home is as good as the pictures! If you want to see Kauai without feeling like a tourist, this is the perfect place.
