About this property

Luxury Home With Spectacular 180 Degree White Water Views & Infinity Edge Pool

Perched on a peninsula 160 feet above the Pacific Ocean, on what many say is the best lot in the Princeville Resort, our 3 bedroom, 4 bath home offers spectacular white water views from Makana Mountain (Bali Hai) to the Kilauea Lighthouse. Secluded from the street with a private infinity edged pool and covered lanai, our 3300-sf home is a perfect place to experience island living at its best.

From the front door, walk into the expansive living room which frames the ocean to the north and features a sixteen foot built-in entertainment center with a 75 inch Smart TV connected to cable and wifi streaming. Each of the three bedrooms, with en suite baths, boasts unparalleled ocean views, Smart TVs, and quality bedding. A fourth full bath is available in the garage as a mudroom. The large, fully-equipped kitchen hosts stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a killer view down the coast - perfect for any home cook or chef. The 400-sf outdoor lanai faces west where the sun splashes into the ocean from April to September of each year. Walk down the terraced peninsula and look below to watch sea turtles (honu) swimming along the reef, or better yet, if you're a strong swimmer, take a 15 minute hike and swim with them. No sand or exercise for you? Then simply walk outside the front door to a 30 foot infinity edge swimming pool and enjoy the sun and tropical breezes from there. An evening in the hot spa, stargazing in the dark sky, puts the final touches on a perfect Hawaiian day.

Weather is unpredictable on this tropical island, however different times of year offer unique surprises. Winter occasionally brings heavy wind and rain, but, with that, comes glorious rainbows and waterfalls cascading down the mountainsides which are visible from our home. Large swells bring picture perfect waves and, if they're big enough, you may watch the tow-in surfers braving the heights from outside or inside the house. Humpback whales leave the cold waters of Alaska and travel to our islands to mate and have their young. There's nothing quite as magical as watching a 40- to 50-foot mammal breach clear out of the water and splash right in front of your eyes. Finally the awkward-on-land, but incredibly graceful-in-air albatross share our community starting in November as a safe place to find a mate or lay their egg. These sea birds are magnificent, and they soar around the home for your viewing. Once hatched, the large fuzzy babies stay at their nests for months in various yards up and down the street.

Summer is less dynamic, but the warm, calm days allow for more outdoor fun. From our property, you may watch the sun rise and set over the water bringing with it some of the most beautiful colors in the sky. Each evening holds a hope that there will be a "green flash" as the last vision of the sun sinks below the horizon. Cool breezes make the lanai a perfect place to be, especially on Fridays when the cruise ship passes by. Ready for a swim? Jump in the pool or take a short walk down the hill to the hidden "Sea Lodge Beach" where there are trees for sitting in the shade, and a shallow coral reef for snorkeling. Use one of the four bikes to cruise around the neighborhood, or drive three minutes to try your hand at tennis or golf. Restaurants, shops, and a grocery store are 3 minutes away. Of course, there is also a whole island to explore with endless numbers of beaches, hikes, activities, and some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. Because Honu Point has so much to offer, however, you may find yourself not wanting to leave our luxury vacation home in Princeville.

Short Perfect Stay

We visited Honu Point with our 2 daughters, ages 6 and 8, for four nights before heading to the south side of the island. Our stay was magical. The girls swam, did cartwheels on the lawn overlooking the ocean, sat and watched the sunset, and scouted out birds, lizards and sea turtles. It was a really special time. We will absolutely be back. Thank you to the hosts for thinking through every detail and making your home perfect for travelers and families.

Magical family getaway

This is truly a special place and such a unique and beautiful property. The only thing that my family and I were talking about on our way to the airport was how and when we could make the trip not to Hawaii, not to Kauai, but to Honu Point again! It is like your own private resort with views and the sound of the ocean from every room of the house including the master shower! Pictures and descriptions do not do the property true justice. We look forward to returning one day from NYC, and hopefully soon.

Breathtaking Views, Private Beach, and Every Amenity You Need

We stayed at this incredible Princeville property with our family of six (two adults and four kids), and it was nothing short of magical. The home itself had every amenity we could’ve asked for — from extra extension cords and USB-C ports to more towels than we could count. As a family, we especially appreciated the two washer and dryer sets, which made life so much easier.The kids spent hours in the pool and absolutely loved the infinity pool that overlooked the cliff — and wow, that cliff! It felt like we were perched right on top of Princeville, with benches placed perfectly at the end of the peninsula for taking in the views. It was stunning, especially at sunrise and sunset.The home came with thoughtful extras like pool floats, bikes, and super clear instructions to a nearby beach that felt like our own private hideaway — we honestly couldn’t believe it was real. Another unexpected delight were the Albatrosses as we came and went from the property — a small but meaningful touch that made the experience even more unique.Princeville is a beautiful area and even though it’s a bit of a drive from Lihue, it was well worth every mile. We also made easy trips to Hanalei and other North Shore beaches.Rae-Marie was an outstanding host — responsive, thoughtful, and clearly committed to creating an exceptional experience. We almost didn’t want to write this review because this place feels like I should keep it a secret, but it deserves the praise. Highly, highly recommend!!

Paradise

This is the second time we have stayed at this property, and it is beyond wonderful. The views, location, listening to the waves - all are great. The whale watching from the patio, the albatross in the neighborhood, and the turtles while snorkling at the nearby beach are such fun. The owner Rae-Marie is fantastic and so responsive. We were sad to leave, and once again, cannot wait to return!

This property is amazing. It has the perfect layout for a multigenerational family. The property is spacious enough to spread out but also has great family spaces for us to all be together. Part of our morning breakfast routine was spotting whales passing by. The property hosts were awesome to deal with and they have literally thought of everything including binoculars, bikes, pool toys, coolers, a pantry stocked with spices and lots of misc, to name just a few. They even provide yoga mats that we used for sunrise group yoga sessions outside above the ocean.My only complaint would be that the photos don’t seem to do this place justice. It really is spectacular and so much more than we thought it would be!

A true gem!

This is an amazing home and property! We will definitely go back! The floor plan of the home is so well thought out with amazing views from every room. The landscaping is absolutely beautiful. The kitchen was well stocked with very nice dishes, cooking pans and appliances. We really enjoyed all the different areas inside and out where we could gather or spread out if we wanted to. There are two beautiful dining tables with the most amazing views, one inside, and one outside on a covered patio. We did yoga on the grassy area every morning…best views ever! Coffee on the bench at the point was lovely. And happy hours on the other side of the house looking at a different beach and view! And of course the spa, outside shower and pool area were very much enjoyed!! We walked down to the private beach twice and loved it! We are all big readers and it was nice that there were so many different areas inside and out that we could spread out if we needed some quiet time. We were in luck because the albatrosses arrived and started nesting and laying their egg while we were there! The host was amazing and helpful! Did I mention the views! Oh my gosh, such a beautiful place!!! We highly recommend this beautiful home!

Honu Point Does not Disappoint

This home is well-appointed, spacious, and comfortable. The host and concierge service were both responsive and excellent (thanks Rae-Marie and Darshan!). The grounds and views are unmatched, this is truly a special spot. The walk to the nearby beach is fun, and just soaking up the scenery from the hot tub and pool was amazing. Beautiful sunsets and sunrises. Nenes flew by the living room window honking one afternoon, and other wildlife around the grounds can be seen frequently. We hope to come back some day. Mahalo!

Oh my! This property and home are simply stunning. We have never been in a VRBO that is so well stocked…everything has been thought of. The home was designed and built for this location and compliments this piece of property so well. The location…we can’t imagine a better setting on the island. So much so that you will find yourself struggling with the decision of going out to experience this beautiful island or staying in your own personal haven each day.

An Unforgettable Stay

We spent nine unforgettable days and nights at Honu Point to celebrate our anniversary. Rae-Marie was an incredible host who communicated so well throughout the entire process. The property was clean, well-kept, and came fully stocked with kitchenware, bathroom tissue, flashlights, towels, soap, etc. What we loved most about Rae-Marie and Tom's home was its fantastic, sweeping views. Every morning we woke up to a beautiful sunrise over the water, saw turtles swimming below the bluff during the day, and went to sleep after an equally beautiful sunset over the ocean at night. The property, with its lush landscaping and private pool, felt secluded, yet we were just a short drive away from restaurants, stores, and activities. It was so special to be there during the albatross fledging season. We would definitely stay here again, perhaps bringing our family next time, to share in such a peaceful, restorative, and sacred place. Thank you, Rae-Marie and Tom!

Exceeded All Expectations

Honu Point is simply spectacular. The cliff setting offers views that are some of the best in the world. Truly. It is private and quiet with landscaping that feels like a botanical garden. As valuable is how organized, clean, and well-equipped the home is - quality dish and cookware, high quality linens, bikes, beach chairs, snorkel gear, boogie boards, and more. Enjoying the sunset from the hot tub after a hike or fun at the beach was a daily event. The love and care put into the property shows, and it made our stay that much more enjoyable. We’ve rented quite a few luxury properties, and Honu Point is one of the best. Thank you Rae-Marie and Tom. We will be back.

HONU POINT is absolute perfection!

This home is the best VRBO we have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. From the initial communication the owner was warm, open and charming. The home reflects attention to detail, from the forever-views of the ocean in every room, to the well appointed kitchen, to the salt water infinity pool with hot tub, to the very placement of the home on the property. Passing through the culdesac gates transforms you into your own world of nature, surf and beauty. Truly one of the most special homes we have had the great fortune to experience. Much love, thought and care went into Honu Point and you feel it to your very core. A very special place on Kauai.

Amazing atmosphere!

If you're looking for private luxury on the north shore of Kauai this is your place! Spectacular views from within the home and from all over the property! Sunrises, sunsets, stars at night, not to mention the the ever present and always welcome rhythmic sound of the surf! We were only two, but three couples could easily be comfortable here and still have individual privacy. The home is so well thought out and there are so many details attended to - you'd be hard pressed not to have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I mean heck, there was even a luggage scale in the master closet - who thinks of that?! Communication was clear, courteous and prompt! The home was exceptionally clean (we've rented multiple places with pools and this was by far the most clean/well maintained!). Kitchen and pantry had just about anything you could imagine. Highly recommend and hope to visit again some day! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Perfect House and Location

This is a beautiful home with unsurpassed views. It's convenient to restaurants, basic necessities and the places you'll want to see, but at the same time feels very secluded even though it's in a great neighborhood. The pictures may seem too good to be true, but the home is as good as the pictures! If you want to see Kauai without feeling like a tourist, this is the perfect place.

About the host

Hosted by Rae-Marie May

Host profile image
Having owned this lot since 1987, and having lived full time on the island since 2000, we had plenty of time to carefully design our retirement home so that every room has a dramatic ocean view. Construction of our dream home was completed in 2015. Now is your chance to enjoy this property before we make the decision to move to it from our current island home five minutes away. After booking you will be given the opportunity to read our personal blog describing plenty of things to see and do on Kauai. Living so close, we would be happy to meet with you and offer suggestions to enhance your experience on the Garden Island.

Why they chose this property

Kauai is one of the most beautiful places on earth. We started to vacation here in the eighties and fell in love. We built our home in 1991 and then split our time between San Diego and Kauai for six years. In 2000 we moved over full time. We currently live on 23 acres on the mountain side of the highway. When we can't or don't want to take care of this land anymore we will move to this spectacular oceanfront home which we designed and finished building in 2015.

What makes this property unique

In 1987 we chose this lot because of its views. It is a half acre on the ocean bluff which includes a 130 foot long peninsula that's mostly surrounded by water. No other property in Princeville has this characteristic. If anything, the house has enhanced these views, framing it in every room. When you walk through the front door you are met with a sweeping view of the mighty Pacific. Our most common comment is, "Wow, it's even better than the photos!

Being the best hosts we can be is our number one priority. We go out of our way to ensure everything in our home is working perfectly for our guests. We want our home to be comfortable, with all the conveniences you will need, so that your vacation will be easy and worry free. Judging from our reviews and the many returning guests we have, I believe our efforts have made a difference.
