About this property
Steps to Waialea Bay, AC, updated home
Cozy coastal sanctuary steps from Waialea Bay. Tucked into lush tropical landscaping, Honu is a beautifully simple, single‑story retreat designed for serene beach‑side living. The home features a central living and dining area adjacent to a recently updated kitchen, with bedrooms and en‑suite bathrooms located at opposite ends to ensure privacy. Hardwood floors, expansive windows, and ceiling fans throughout enhance comfort and airiness.
Restful, private sleeping spaces. Two thoughtfully appointed air‑conditioned bedrooms anchor either side of the home—one with a king bed, the other with a queen and two twins—each with their own en‑suite bathroom. A handy washer/dryer is tucked into the hallway off the primary suite for added convenience.
Idyllic outdoor comforts + beach access. Step outside to a gated path leading to Waialea Bay, where swaying beach trees and fragrant tropical blooms set a tranquil scene. The outdoor shower with both hot and cold water is perfect for rinsing off after a day in the sun. Spot iconic local flora—Singapore plumeria, crown flowers, tiare gardenia, and fragrant pikake—right outside the primary bedroom for leis and island ambiance.
Thoughtful amenities, island‑aware style. While only the bedrooms are air‑conditioned, the home’s design—with ceiling fans, natural light, and breezy layout—keeps it comfortable and relaxed.
The home has air conditioning in the bedrooms only.

Why they chose this property
The Owners were drawn to this property for its quiet location just steps from the beach. They had rented houses nearby and loved being able to walk back and forth to the beach as need be. It is so relaxing not to have to get into the car very often.
What makes this property unique
It has an easy, relatively sandy entry into the water. The snorkeling and paddle boarding is great when it's calm; my kids tell me the surfing is great when it's not. Sitting on the beach with a cup or coffee in the morning or a drink at sunset is magical.
