This property was amazing! Right on the water, great views of the bay. Waking up every morning to waves crashing was so peaceful. The owner communicated so well and was very pleasant to work with! It was a great stay. We loved it!

Nancy and her family were amazing guests and cared for our home like their own.
Hi Nancy. Thanks so much and for staying for almost 30 days. We really appreciate your care for our home. You are welcome to come back, anytime.
Our family had a fantastic time at Andrew’s place. The house was perfect for me and my family, the place was clean and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Started every morning with a cup of coffee on the lanai with the perfect sunrises! Andrew was responsive and very attentive.

Aloha, and thank you so much for staying at our home. We do the same thing that you do, and every time we are home, we enjoy an early morning coffee and listen to the waves below the house. Please come again and let us know if you are a returning guest. We always take special care of our returning guests. Mahalo and thank you again for staying.
Very relaxing with all the items you need to have fun at the beach. Great location with very little air traffic noise but still close to the airport. Elevator to the beach is very convenient.
Location is amazing. Initially given incorrect code at arrival but property manager was available via phone and had immediate fix. Would be 5 star rating but listing clearly indicated a hot tub and this was not true. When I asked the host I was told I must be confused and there was a whirlpool tub in the MB vs a hot tub which was also not the case, simple bathtub.

Hi Dale. When we checked the listing, it didn’t list that there was a hot tub, it listed a whirlpool tub which was by accident. This mistake on VRBO was not on purpose and has been corrected. Have a good day.
We had a great stay with our adult children. The unit was clean, well stocked and spacious. The view from the balcony is lovely and we enjoyed spending time out there taking in the sun and listening to the waves. There is an elevator which takes you down to a beautiful beach with nice sand and calm waters. The location is great as there are many shop, restaurants and lots of activities to do in the area some with in walking distance. The owner and property manager were both very quick to respond and have thought of everything you could need including beach supplies, dishes, high end appliances, ice maker, pots and pans etc. The only thing missing is a BBQ (we ate out every evening so wouldn’t have used it anyway). There are several different levels with a couple of steps and the host has motion sensor night lights in those areas which helps a lot to eliminate trips and falls. The shower in the master bedroom is a little intimidating at first as there are windows in it but no one can see in and the 2 shower heads gives you a awesome shower! The loft is a nice space with 3 twins and a trundle beds but the ladder to the loft makes it a little tricky to take luggage up and would not be real safe for younger children. We had lots of space for 6 adults and played cards in the evening and enjoyed a lot of family time in this lovely rental.
Excellent communication with the property managers. House was well appointed and you can’t beat the view! Great location! Highly recommend

About the host
Hosted by Andrew Torres
We love coming back to Kauai each month to improve our home for our guests and us. Our family is originally from the San Francisco Bay Area and has been coming to Hawaii for over 30 years. We are avid travelers and have made a great group of friends in Kauai who we now consider family, too.
When we're not hiking or cooking in our beautiful kitchen, I spend most of my spare time bodyboarding in the water below the house.
Why they chose this property
The Pali Kai neighborhood is tranquil, close to everything we could ever want, and one of the most serene and peaceful places we've ever lived. Our community has a private gate that keeps it even quieter, and we still remember the first time we drove up: passing through a forest of trees, then parking and walking down the street to have lunch on the ground, overlooking the lighthouse, with that unforgettable view in front of us.
What makes this property unique
Our Ohana Home is Hawaiian. We have a beautiful wooden dining table you can only find in Hawaii. You can hear the gentle waves from our master bedroom as you are lulled to sleep, and the room is perfectly sized. At about 2300 square feet, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, everyone has enough room for alone time to soak up the sun or family time watching the sun go down over the hillsides from the lanai. During the week, you can also find yourself watching a luau on Kalapakali Beach. Our home is designed so that when you walk in, you can see Kalapaki Beach immediately. We have windows everywhere, and your first view and impression of the house will take your breath away. We love our home, and you will love it too.
