Aloha and Welcome to Hale Honu O Hanalei ~ House of the Turtle.
This hidden jewel sits on the ridge above the Hanalei Valley on Kauai's tropical North Shore. Tucked away on a quiet side road, and walking distance to one of the North Shore's best-kept secret beach trails. A simple 1 mile walk and you are at Puu Poa Beach at the gorgeous 1Hotel Hanalei Bay. Our home is outside of the hustle and bustle of Princeville, yet only minutes from gorgeous beaches, hikes, groceries, restaurants, shops, World Class golf courses, historic Hanalei town and more! This bright, simple and classically furnished condo is the perfect retreat and home base for exploring all Kauai has to offer. Perfectly situated in a small community of only 20 townhomes, the vibe is laid back, local and peaceful.
Everything about this townhome gives you a peaceful, easy feeling. You will feel welcomed the moment you enter with a spacious and comfortable living room. The fully equipped kitchen includes a brand New Vitamix, brand new French press and brand new toaster making it easy to prepare tasty meals at home. Right off the kitchen is a brand new stacked front-load washer and dryer.
The private and cozy back lanai is a perfect place for a morning coffee or fresh fruit from the local farmers market. The jungle view offers the sounds of birds and avocados when in season.
Upstairs you will find two tastefully decorated bedrooms ( 1 king/1 queen ), quality linens, along with trade winds and ceiling fans to cool down the days and nights. One bathroom with tub completes.
After dinner enjoy an easy walk to a stunning overlook gazing out on Hanalei Bay and the best sunsets ever. There is a 1 mile walk to Puu Poa beach through a lovely, groomed trail that takes you right down to Hanalei Bay. For the more adventurous you can even cross the Hanalei River and walk the Hanalei Beach or go into town! There are endless walking trails, golf courses, bike paths, hiking trails, and world class tennis courts all in Princeville, and all a walk or short drive away.
Just a short drive down to Hanalei and you can enjoy the historic town, it's quaint shops, local artists, great dining, surf, swim, bike and kayak rentals, smoothie bars and hikes.
And there is no shortage of places to hike on the north shore! The world famous Kalalau Trail of the Napali coast is a 20 min drive along the breathtaking coast to the end of the road at Ke'e beach where the trail begins. Closer still is a little known hike just across the historic Hanalei Bridge and through the taro fields. The views from the top are out of this world!
If you like to surf, the world renowned Hanalei Bay, Kalihiwai and Kahilis are all minutes away on the north shore.
For snorkelers the North Shore's famous Tunnels/Makua beach, Ke'e and Anini Beach are yours to enjoy.
Of course relaxing and doing nothing is great too! Whether you are on a family vacation, romantic holiday, girls getaway, a long term stay in paradise, or an epic surf trip, our home will fulfill your dreams of living the island life in comfort and ease. The entire townhome is yours for your stay!
We even have you covered with beach chairs, boogie boards, beach towels, beach toys, cooler, umbrella and some beach toys.

Our family of four really enjoyed our stay at this property in February. It is spacious and attractive, and we appreciated the well-equipped kitchen, large dining table/work space and washer & dryer. The location is excellent! It's a short walk to a beautiful view of Hanalei Bay, down a jungle path to a gorgeous beach, to the Princeville resort area, and to a major grocery store. It's a quick drive to Hanalei, which we visited every day for its food trucks & restaurants, shopping and beaches. Check-in/check-out were easy, the host was responsive to questions, and she welcomed us with a lovely gift basket of local treats. We would definitely stay here again!

Lovely location. Oven and stove top are filthy. Dark condo needed more lights. Refrigerator leaks. Chipped porcelain in bathtub. Most worrisome frame came off of window exposing raw glass which could have resulted in injury.

Aloha to potential guests reading this review! I feel compelled to respond so that future guests may have a more accurate description and be assured that they will indeed be staying in a clean, bright and safe condo and that the photos accurately depict a bright, cheerful and clean home. Our condo is thoroughly cleaned by our excellent cleaning crew after every guest. It is well lit, with varying settings available. We have a service order in for the refrigerator and had left a note on the refrigerator indicating the need. The chip in the tub… yes, there is a chip in the tub about the size of a dime. Please understand, this is our home. It isn’t perfect. But our multitude of happy, returning guests and 5 star reviews speaks volumes. Unfortunately part of the window frame did come off a window during her stay and my manager responded rapidly, coming right over to secure the window and leave a note while permanent repairs are underway. Things happen. I wrote to this guest several times but never received a response. I am sorry she felt the way she did. I want every guest to enjoy our beautiful home. I invite everyone to read all my reviews and reach out to me directly if you have any questions before booking a stay with us! I look forward to hosting you on our beautiful island. Aloha!

What an excellent stay! Great amenities including everything we needed in the kitchen and for the beach. Beautiful and relaxing environment, and conveniently located near Princeville shopping/golf, and Hanalei Bay. I've never felt so much at home like I did here.
We were close to the golf course and the property was quiet and comfortable. It was everything we needed for a restful stay. I would book here again when the need arises.
Really convenient location to all of the gorgeous attractions on the North Shore. Neighborhood was extremely safe. Very close drive to supermarket and nearby restaurants.
Very quiet complex, convenient location. Had everything we needed for a pleasant stay provided. Easiest check out ever. I recommend this property & would stay again
Everything was perfect. Easy to book, easy to find, lovely basket of goodies, quiet sleeps with just enough rooster to make me smile. Awesome location for north shore adventures.
My husband and I had a great stay at this property! The house was super clean, it had all the amenities we needed, and the location was perfect. The host was very helpful and responsive. We would absolutely stay here again!
Very responsive host, easy check in and out, beautiful scenery in back full of lush plants and trees. Looking at pictures with this listing, I thought we were getting a view of bay below but that was not the case. A little misleading but, overall, great stay.
This property is a gem! Well located and free of all the Princeville traffic, it was enjoyable in every way. Clean, well appointed and comfortable. We loved our stay. Thank you Kristina for the lovely stay!
Overall great stay. Well stocked kitchen, plenty of towels, beach chairs, ice chest. Beautiful tropical jungle-like backyard was otherworldly to look out to every morning.
Our family had a wonderful stay - the property is located on a beautiful, private lot with full amenities. We loved how well-stocked the kitchen was and enjoyed using the provided beach equipment. The rooms were large and comfy and the check-in process was really easy, which was great considering how late we came in. Overall, a lovely experience!
We were four adults and stayed for 12 nights. We had an excellent stay, the property had everything we needed, including a fast and reliable internet connection. The place is very close (2 min drive, 10 walk) to Princeville shopping area with Foodland and 5 min drive to Hanalei. We will be staying here again when we come to the North Shore.
It was a quiet and comfortable location. We really appreciated the thoughtfulness of items on hand. Having beach towels, chairs, and even a cooler to use made going to the beach easy!
We certainly stay again if in the area!

About the host
Hosted by Kristina
Aloha! Our family has enjoyed island living for many, many years. Kauai holds a special place for all of us! Our boys were raised here and we now split our time between Montana and Kauai, allowing all the surfers, skiers, snowboarders and fishermen in our family to enjoy all each has to offer! We love our little beach house on the ridge overlooking Hanalei. It has a relaxing, fun-loving vibe we hope you will enjoy and soak up during your stay here on Kauai!
Why they chose this property
We chose this property when our boys were young. It had everything we needed and close to all the North Shore has to offer. Located on a quiet street and in small complex, you are far away from all the hustle and bustle of daily life. But step outside for a walk or a short drive and you are minutes from world class golf courses, world famous beaches, gorgeous hikes, epic surf breaks, quaint villages and more! A short drive down to Hanalei village and you have access to restaurants, shops, coffee, donuts, shave ice, beaches, sunsets, and more!
What makes this property unique
We hope you enjoy your stay in our delightful home! We love our little slice of paradise and are excited to share it with you! We chose everything in the home to reflect our love of the ocean and the simple way of island living. The space is uncluttered, and serene, filled with the peaceful colors of the sea and sky. You will love your retreat away from the crowds yet close to everything the North Shore has to offer. Hale Honu O Hanalei is located in a quiet neighborhood complex with fresh ocean breezes, birds singing, and fruit on the trees. Welcome!
