This HOME is much nicer than the typical vacation rental. The entire property has a substantial/intentional vibe. HGTV fans will LOVE it! The attention to detail, the quality of all the appliances & materials used are all first rate. This luxurious estate is worth the trip to Kauai alone.
All of the beds are super comfortable. Our boys loved the guest bedroom with the four twin beds. The house is well ventilated with fans, sliders, and window vents. We never needed the AC. The estate is in a very convenient location. It’s 5 min. from Rock Quarry beach & 5 min. from Kilauea. There are no neighbors for a 1/4 mile. You are surrounded by a jungle and a lake...very private!
There are so many activities for the family to do on property. We played on the Par3 golf hole every morning with breakfast and a Bluetooth speaker. There is an amazing saltwater pool with a sandy bottom spa. There are kayaks, paddle boards, and a 6-person raft for the lake. There’s even a charming rope swing!
The home is very comfortable and easy to use. We used the two lanais daily. There is a state-of-the-art home entertainment system in the main room with surround sound. It has a smart remote control that makes all of the functions intuitive. The kitchen is perfect for entertaining-we cooked every day & used the grill several times. Everything you use in this kitchen is quality.
Our host helped us get the most out of his home and provided advice about the North Side. We will definitely be back!

House:
I love this Hawaiian-style, eco-friendly, and art filled home. The floorplan is contemporary so it affords you all the conveniences of modern life, but with an abundance of traditional flourishes making you feel that you are seeing the “real” Hawaii. Plus the huge living area is filled with natural light with large screened sliding doors giving you all the enjoyment of outdoor living without the bugs. The structure is not only comfortable, beautiful, and well appointed, but there are wonderful hidden gems everywhere. This place has loads of charm, and is very private. It is unique, and spacious; it is stylish, modern, and artsy– everything you might want in a Hawaiian get-away or retreat. We felt instantly at home. There are also several attached and covered porches for relaxing, eating and daydreaming, which we took full advantage of. I am an avid cook, and the kitchen has everything you could possibly need PLUS there is a grill, with a view of the one hole golf course right on the lawn!
Grounds:
The house is surrounded by beautiful tropical gardens, and from every room on the East side of the house you look across the property to the picturesque lake filled with bird life. Fruit trees line the drive to the house with not only the requisite oranges and other citrus trees but also star fruit, rambutan, and mango trees. The lovely stone lined salt water pool and hot tub are a short walk down a rustic path bordered by a rushing stream.
Location:
I have only stayed in Poipu on previous trips to Kauai, but this vacation changed my mind forever. The North side of the island is lush and peaceful and we found everything we needed in the nearby towns of Kilauea and Princeville (just a few miles down the road). The house is also located in a wildlife refuge so it is akin to living in a well groomed park.
Host:
Steve was so incredibly helpful, friendly, and amiable as well as very communicative. His suggestions for local shops and restaurants were extremely helpful and he had a genuine concern about our well being. All these factors made our experience truly exceptional. The house has everything you might need, and Steve very generously lent us a couple of extra snorkel gear bags so that everyone in our party could take advantage of the amazing reef-life close by at Anini Beach where you can swim with the sea turtles. Five stars - both for the turtles and Steve!

Went for a special family retreat, we could not have been happier with both the house, property or our hosts.
They made sure all our requests for group yoga classes and special dinner was well researched and memorable. I would highly recommend to my friends and we would love to come back..

I am so grateful for this amazing vacation rental. The waterfall was amazing right outside the house. We had everything we needed. The property is peaceful and beautiful and the modern yet relaxed decor was relaxing and enjoyable. What a cool house! A one of a kind! I will be back! Thank you!

We wanted to thank all of you again for sharing the Waterfall House. The efforts to make the place exceptional are exceedingly evident and hugely successful. The landscaping alone was so impactful that I could only imagine the hours, days, and weeks spent on just that segment of the project. Nature sculpted the terrain, the senior members of the team secured the potential, and the juniors showcased their design/building talents, topping it off with Aloha hospitality. Our extended standing applause! I can’t imagine an encore after that!
