Great place!

Had a great time while staying at the Tiki Hut! Tunnels beach was even closer to the cottage than I previously thought - very short walk. Nearby areas such as Hanelei and Princeville are also a short drive and easily accessible by car. Great cottage and would love to stay again!

The Tiki Hut is the perfect secluded slice of paradise for anyone looking for a quiet tropical beach getaway. Toni’s property and gardens are pristinely manicured for you to sink into island time and enjoy your stay on the beautiful island of Kauai. My wife and I truly enjoyed our extended stay at the property. It has all of the amenities someone would need, easy 5 min walk to tunnels beach for the best snorkeling on the island, and the best greeter/guard dog out there. We cannot wait to come back and visit!

A true escape

The Tiki Hut sits in a stunningly beautiful and peaceful garden. A short walk to the beach. We went swimming there every day. Quiet and secluded location but a short drive into Hanalei.

Absolutely amazing

We loved our stay. The garden surroundings were out of this world! I could go on and on about this topic alone… Toni and Samson made us feel so welcome. The tiki hut was spotless, and appointed with touches that made it feel like we were in a home rather than a rental. The location is perfect for a beach holiday, just 5-10 mins walk down a path to one of the best beaches on Kauai.

Tiki Hut is paradise!

Tiki Hut exceeded our expectations! Best place to stay in Kauai! The accommodation's were top notch. Wine in the fridge, fresh fruit and flowers on the counter. The gardens are amazing! The walk to the beach was a quick walk. Anyone that stays here will be glad they booked the Tiki Hut…it is PARADISE.

Perfect location and magnificent garden.

My husband and I are beach and garden lovers. A wonderful mix to be able to walk to the beach and come back to our space in the middle of a lovely garden. Our host Toni was incredibly gracious. Mahalo!

Our 9th trip to Kauai and this is the BEST place to stay if there’s only the 2 of you. Great Robes , hot tub, comfy bed, walk to tunnels, really well-stocked ( host even replaced Weber grill when I mentioned it could use some TLC! …. Now THAT’S being super responsive!) the garden and peaceful setting are unsurpassed. All beach supplies provided. Toni is just the loveliest host and example of true Aloha. Very hard to leave but we hope to be back, or at least toDream of this oasis in cold times at home. Thanks Toni and Samson the greeter-pup!

Aloha, A huge mahalo for taking the time to write a review. I don't request them because most of you have long airline trips home, weather to deal with, unpacking and getting back to a normal life. Samson(our greeter) and I try to make our guests time on island as comfortable and non- stressful as possible. Thank you for your kind words. A hui hou Toni

The Best!

Our stay at the Tiki Hut was the best vacation! Toni was a great hostess and her place is unbelievably comfortable and beautiful. She had all the beach equipment we needed, plus a fully equipped kitchen. Tunnels beach can’t be beat: scenery, snorkeling, swimming! Thanks,Toni, for sharing your place. We hope we can return in the future!

At the Tiki Hut you feel like you have really escaped from your ordinary life. The gardens are beautiful and tranquil, filled with birds, tropical flowers, green geckos and anoles. The living room lanai is a serene start to the day with morning coffee and the bedroom lanai and hot tub a perfect, relaxing bookend to each day. It is perfectly situated by Tunnels Beach near the end of the north shore road but close enough to Hanalei and Princeville for dinners out and exploring. The Tiki Hut has everything someone would need and more, for cooking, relaxing, hiking and beach days. I don’t want to go into detail so you can be as surprised as I was at Toni’s attention to every detail. Toni is a lovely person and has a genuine desire to make every visitor’s experience as perfect as possible. Her sweet dog Samson would greet us daily and spend relaxing times with us on the lanai. We are already scheduling our calendars to return next year.

A Must-See VRBO!

Overall, I rate everything a 10. Toni was absolutely the best host I have encountered at a VRBO. She wanted to make sure your stay was comfortable and that you had everything you needed for a perfect getaway. The location is safe, secure, beautiful, quiet and felt like you were living in a manicured jungle.

Tiki Hut Anniversary Getaway

Toni’s beautiful spot and aloha welcoming created a magical eight days for us in this incredibly beautiful part of the world. The Tiki Hut is well equipped with everything you need and more. Just walking distance to Tunnels Beach, Limahuli Gardens and a quick drive to myriad restaurants and places to explore, our time here was full and fun, Next time we’ll plan to stay longer. Thank you To I for making us feel at home here.
