About the host

Our Story
We are a family of four who first discovered Kauai nearly 30 years ago. What began as a simple vacation quickly became something deeper—the island’s beauty, spirit, and friendships we built here touched us in ways we could never have imagined. Over time, Kauai called us back again and again, until we finally decided to set down roots.
Our hearts are forever split between Kauai and California. Life has taken us through challenges—our family home was lost in the Woolsey Fire while we were here on island—but those moments gave us perspective and reminded us what truly matters: family, community, and the simple joys of life.
Our little cottage is the realization of a dream shared by all four of us—surfers, seekers, and philosophers at heart. It’s a place where the rhythm of the ocean and the calm of the mountains come together, offering both inspiration and rest.
We’ve chosen to share our home with those who carry that same zest for life—people who know the value of slowing down, embracing beauty, and creating memories with loved ones.
You deserve the tropical island vacation you’ve been dreaming of. Who knows—like us, you may discover that Kauai becomes part of your reality, too.
With Aloha,
Our Family

Why they chose this property
North Shore Gem • Rainbows, Beach Path & Hanalei Access
Welcome to your Kauai getaway! Our 3-bedroom retreat is nestled on a private street in a quaint, tropical complex with just a few units—quiet, peaceful, and authentically local.
Why Guests Love It Here:
🌈 Rainbow Views Daily across the street with stunning Bali Hai backdrops.
🚶 Secret Path to Pu‘u Poa Beach—walk to the sand or drive just minutes to Hanalei Bay.
🏡 Local-Style Complex with artists, surfers, and wellness travelers—live like a resident, not a tourist.
☕ Coffee at sunrise, wine at sunset while rainbows stretch over the mountains.
🍽️ Close to the best of the North Shore—Bar Acuda, Postcards Café, AMA ramen, Hanalei Bread Co., Tahiti Nui, and more.
🎶 Anaina Hou nearby with concerts, farmers markets, and outdoor movie nights under the stars.
It’s the perfect base for surfers, families, hikers, or anyone seeking a true Kauai experience. Stay here and you’ll understand why the North Shore is unlike anywhere else in the world.
Our Magic Spot on the North Shore
This isn’t just a vacation rental—it’s the home we dreamed about for years. Tucked into a quiet street in Princeville, our small, tropical complex feels more like a community than a condo. With only a few neighbors, many of them artists, healers, and ocean lovers, the energy here is warm, creative, and connected.
The gem of this location is the secret 1 mile path that leads straight to Pu‘u Poa Beach—perfect for slipping into the ocean at sunrise, or wandering down to watch the sunset paint Hanalei Bay. The charm of Hanalei town is only minutes away, with its surf shops, live music at Tahiti Nui, fresh-baked mornings at Hanalei Bread Co., and incredible farm-to-table dining at Bar Acuda, Postcards Café, and AMA.
This little cottage is a dream realized for our family, and now it’s a joy to share it with others who seek the same connection to beauty, community, and the island way of life.
The beach path is a one mile walk to the shoreline.
