If you are looking for the ultimate home base for a family getaway on Kauai, this house is a hidden gem. The location is absolutely ideal—you are just minutes away from some of the most beautiful beaches on the island, making it effortless to transition from a morning coffee to a swim in the ocean.One of the biggest highlights for us was the proximity to the local food scene. Whether you are looking for a quick, fresh poke bowl or a more formal sit-down dinner, some of the island’s best eateries are just a short drive away.Why Families Will Love It:The Porch: This is truly the heart of the home. It is a massive, inviting space that easily accommodates a large group. It became our go-to spot for reconnecting, sharing meals, and enjoying the evening air.The Soundscape: There is nothing quite like the soundtrack of the Pacific Ocean. Being able to sit on the porch and listen to the waves crashing nearby creates an immediate sense of peace.Seamless Living: The layout is perfect for a multi-generational family or a large group, offering enough space to gather comfortably without feeling crowded.This home offers the quintessential Kauai experience—sun, surf, incredible food, and the perfect atmosphere to slow down and enjoy time with the people who matter most. I would return in a heartbeat!

We truly appreciate you choosing Remax Kauai for your stay, and we’d be honored to welcome you and your family back anytime. 🌺 Mahalo, The Remax Kauai Team

Nice accommodations for a large family or group of friends. Sit and watch the sunset and sea turtles every night right at the end of the driveway. Good home base to explore all of Kauai.

Amazing location!

Our group of friends had a great Thanksgiving weekend stay! The house was comfortable, in a perfect location right across from the ocean and walking distance to a wonderful beach. The beds were comfortable, there was enough parking and we appreciated the beach supplies and pack n'play that was available. Can't wait to get back to Kauai!
