About this property

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

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 and umbrella.

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!

Please note as a previous guest was confused, this condo has a 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!

Beautiful setting and cute home

Very responsive host, easy check in and out, beautiful scenery in back full of lush plants and trees. Looking at pictures with this listing, I thought we were getting a view of bay below but that was not the case. A little misleading but, overall, great stay.

Fantastic!

It was a quiet and comfortable location. We really appreciated the thoughtfulness of items on hand. Having beach towels, chairs, and even a cooler to use made going to the beach easy! We certainly stay again if in the area!

Wonderful 9 days with my family

My husband and two kids stayed here for 9 days . The condo was perfect for us . We loved the layout and it was just the right size. We took advantage of the kitchen a lot as we ate many meals at home . The location was perfect for taking many day trips but also they were so many beaches near by to go to . We would definitely come back . Thank you

Great home base for Kauai adventures

This home was a great place for our family of four during our trip to Kauai. It’s at a great location on the north shore and it’s in a quiet neighborhood. Good communication from host and nice welcoming message greeted us when we arrived. No AC but wasn’t a problem at all. Wife was happy and the kids made good memories.

Peaceful

My son and I stayed at this lovely condo for 3 nights. It was a perfect base to enjoy the north side of the island. It was a quick drive into Hanalei where we spent most of our time exploring the Napali Coast. The condo was clean and was supplied with everything you might need. We felt like we got a slice of authentic island life. We would highly recommend this rental to friends and family.

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.

A perfect perch in Princeville

Our family of four (two adults, 13 yo and 10 yo) had a great stay at this lovely condo. It was immaculate when we arrived, and had so many thoughtful touches inside, from fresh flowers to chocolates to ear plugs to help with rooster noise! The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed, a big help when wanting to cook at home. The complex the condo is part of is clean and quiet and we met some friendly neighbors. The road it’s on is spectacular, with stunning views of Hanalei valley and mountains from right up the street and a delicious little restaurant at the end of the road. Princeville grocery store is right nearby and it’s a short drive into hanalei. A great place to stay with a family. Highly recommend!

Ideal location, super comfortable

Excellent stay. Location was as good as we could have expected. 5 minute walk to Nourish for the best Acai bowls on the island and that view!! Also, the walk along the old Club Med path down to the beach is great. Did that every morning. King bed in the master room, super comfy. Used all the beach toys, umbrella and chairs. Great to have access to those! The floors needed an extra sweep when we arrived but that wasn't that big of a deal once we found the broom on the side of the washing machine. Roosters in the early morning, as expected were noisy but that's Kauai. I kind of liked them. :)

Paradise Found!

This property was perfect for our stay in Kauai. The location was just what we wanted. It was close to Hanalei Bay, and all the beaches on the north side of the island. We enjoyed the hike (Old Club Med) that was just down the street. We loved being close to the Foodland grocery store and Princeville food court. It's in a quiet neighborhood with a beautiful view out the back door. It had everything we needed. We used the beach chairs every day. Boogie boards, cooler, umbrella, and sand toys for kids were also provided. The beds were comfortable with nice linens. Bath towels and beach towels were plush. We were gone all day enjoying the island, so we didn't use the kitchen for cooking, but it was well stocked and we loved having a fridge with icemaker and filtered water to fill our water bottles for the day. We used the washer and dryer and appreciated having laundry detergent available. The home was clean, however, we noticed window blinds and slatted doors were dusty. We would have preferred doors without slats on the bathroom and bedroom doors for more privacy (especially sound), but since we were family, it was ok. Overall, it was a wonderful place and would stay here again. We loved the gifts and fresh flowers provided for us! Thank you, Kristina!

This is a lovely place to explore Kauai (especially North Shore), we had a great time staying here. Perfect location for a quick access to all of our favorite spots (Tunnels beach, Hanalei food trucks, Kilauea food spots, Anini Beach, Kalihiwai Beach, etc.). Wi-Fi was great, and we really needed it for a remote work and random conference calls. And we loved a little jungle view at the backyard of the property (btw, avocados are just delicious!). We had a few minor issues with putting our baby to sleep at the condo, but I must say, this is definitely our personal issues, not a property fault - our LO is noise sensitive, and the squeaky floors didn't help with her sleep, and the condo gets really hot in the afternoon, but we somehow managed with fans available at the place or ended up sleeping at the beach. So this part might be something to keep in mind while traveling with small kids. But overall the place is definitely a gem, highly recommended!

Felt Like Our Rain Forest Home

We loved the location being away from big resorts and yet somewhat a part of it all! So perfect! We had researched our hiking and beach trip a lot and the condo was lovely for all our mud and sand and sun adventures! It is pin-drop quiet at night and the fans’ white noise was essential for lulling us to sleep in blissful coolness. We named and became acquainted with a few special chickens (Old Broken Tail) and cats (Lioness) and chameleons (Rainbow and Gunter)! Our host, Kristina, was so sweet and generous with special touches! It really was homey and we threatened to never leave! Sunrise/rainbow yoga is a must! We have thousands of pictures and wonderful memories from all corners of this beautiful island, Kauai! We will definitely touch base again! Aloha! Thank you Kristina! Mahalo & Namaste!

Very Nice Home and Dark Quiet for Stars!

Their home is tucked away in a nice spot. Its convenient to the main road, and just far enough the lights wont bother you that you can walk around the parking lot and see the stars at night. You drive down the street and you get an amazing view of the bay (and nice spot to see stars if going late at night, few cars). The parking was also right in front - so convenient! Also next to the princeville shopping center and the best breakfast / lunch food truck is literally just down the street behind the urgent care and fire station, you can walk there given how close they all are.The host was super responsive, very helpful and very nice. We had a great time staying here. They also provide so many supplies that you will be left with a pleasant surprise on arrival. Plenty of tabs for laundry and dishes, very clean and everything you wish the other "resorts" did a better job with. Highly recommend you stop comparing, I honestly do not think we could have found a better place even though other places has nice pictures too.

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!

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!

Nice condo. Helpful host.

We truly enjoyed our stay. Nice new condo with plenty of windows to capture the Trades, and lots of fans. The kitchen is well appointed. The host, Kristina, went out of her way to make sure we could drop off perishables before check-in time, and to help me access a prescription sent to her mailbox. Dining room chairs felt uncomfortable and the lanais are just narrow covered entries. The property is beautifully landscaped, well maintained and quiet. Parking for Unit 2B is right beside the front entry.

Aloha! Our family has enjoyed island living for many, many years. Kauai holds a special place for all of us! Our boys were raised here and we now split our time between Montana and Kauai, allowing all the surfers, skiers, snowboarders and fishermen in our family to enjoy all each has to offer! We love our little beach house on the ridge overlooking Hanalei. It has a relaxing, fun-loving vibe we hope you will enjoy and soak up during your stay here on Kauai!

Why they chose this property

We chose this property when our boys were young. It had everything we needed and close to all the North Shore has to offer. Located on a quiet street and in small complex, you are far away from all the hustle and bustle of daily life. But step outside for a walk or a short drive and you are minutes from world class golf courses, world famous beaches, gorgeous hikes, epic surf breaks, quaint villages and more! A short drive down to Hanalei village and you have access to restaurants, shops, coffee, donuts, shave ice, beaches, sunsets, and more!

What makes this property unique

We hope you enjoy your stay in our delightful home! We love our little slice of paradise and are excited to share it with you! We chose everything in the home to reflect our love of the ocean and the simple way of island living. The space is uncluttered, and serene, filled with the peaceful colors of the sea and sky. You will love your retreat away from the crowds yet close to everything the North Shore has to offer. Hale Honu O Hanalei is located in a quiet neighborhood complex with fresh ocean breezes, birds singing, and fruit on the trees. Welcome!
