Everything was idyllic: The cottage, the surrounding huge garden area, the location a couple hundred yards from Tunnels Beach, the beach toys and equipment available for our use, and lovely Samson, the house dog. Toni was great, too!

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!

It was beautiful and peaceful and we had a difficult time deciding to leave during the day for other activities. Toni is an exceptional hostess. The bungalow had everything we needed or could ask for. Hot tub was fun. I’ve never stayed on Princeville side just Poipu but will definitely return.

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.

Heavenly!
Toni's Tiki Hut is absolute bliss. My husband and I enjoyed every minute of our visit. I am a gardener, so Toni's exquisite tropical garden is an absolute joy. The location is also perfect for exploring the lush North Shore mountains and gorgeous beaches. Toni's malama (loving care) makes the Tiki Hut a true paradise. We are looking forward to returning. Mahalo!

True aloha spirit
We can't say enough good things about our 8 night stay at the tiki hut. Much thought and love we're put into making this place a truly special retreat. The pictures in the listing actually don't do it justice, the place was even more beautiful in person. Toni and Sampson welcomed us with true aloha spirit and we were so sad when it was time to leave. We will definitely be back to visit!

Wonderful Stay In A Special Place
We arrived on a late flight to Kauai and drove to Tiki Hut to find a welcoming note, fresh baked banana bread, and Kona coffee and treats provided for us. Toni is a terrific host; friendly & helpful. The “Hut” is really comfortable and well equipped. The large tropical garden is exceptional. The location is just what we were hoping for; quiet and less than a five minute walk down a private lane to one of the best beaches on Kauai. We can hardly wait to return.

Tiki Hut
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the lush gardens where the tiki hut is located. Tony was a outstanding host with a wealth of information to ensure that we had a perfect stay. The tiki hut was immaculately clean with fresh cut flowers from the garden. Well supplied for all your Beach needs and many basic necessities in the kitchen we're already there. The walk to the beach was an easy one and it opens up to the North end of tunnels Beach with some amazing views and some fantastic swimming. Thanks again Tony for our amazing time in the Tiki Hut

Little slice of Paradise
This was the best VRBO ever!! Toni is amazing.., so sweet and welcoming. She makes you feel comfortable and right at home. The Tiki Hut is adorable and comfortable. She left welcome gifts and made sure we had everything we needed. The island and beach is just breath taking and there is so much to do if you want..and Toni made suggestions as to what we might want to try another time. I would recommend this to any couple who wants the perfect get away in the most wonderful spot in Hawaii!!

Great Location and Beautiful rental
Awesome place! We have been visiting Kauai and staying in different cottages/homes on the North Shore for 23 years. The Tiki Hut was by far the most beautiful place we have stayed. Every small detail was in place to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. The garden setting was gorgeous and perfect. Our host, Toni, was absolutely wonderful and her furry sidekick, Sampson (the official greeter), cheerfully visited us every morning to say hello. The location is outstanding, with an easy walk to Tunnels Beach. We would definitely stay at the Tiki Hut again and would highly recommend it.

Tiki House Magic
A very short walk to the stunning Tunnels Beach on the North Shore of Kauai is just an added bonus to our week long stay at the Tiki House. Toni and her black lab Sampson have created a magical place. The beautiful grounds that surrounded the Tiki House look and feel like a botanical garden complete with the melody of song birds throughout the day. The two lanai’s of the house offer wonderful areas to sit and enjoy the visual beauty and sounds of nature. The Tiki House was perfect for my wife and I and we both look forward to our next stay there.

Paradise Cottage
We loved the location of this beautiful cottage, high up on the North Shore. We wanted a place where we could walk to Tunnels beach, and have privacy. This cottage delivered in spades! The gardens are beautiful, and our host Toni was amazing. We loved the private hot tub, the hammock, the two lanais, and the large yard. We loved having the goldador Samson visit us on the lanai, and it helped ease our homesickness for our three sweet pups. We cooked most of our meals there too. Get the fresh sushi rolls from the fish market in Hanalei, grab some beer, and ice cream, and enjoy!! We highly recommend this place.

We booked our week long getaway on very short notice, we did not expect the breathtaking gardens and beautiful cottage to be as spectacular as it was! Toni and her dog Samson greeted us upon our arrival to show us the grounds and cottage- everything was perfect, the basket of goodies and a lovely bottle of wine just as the start to this amazing place. We will definitely visit again very soon! When we got back to B.C. we were completely relaxed. There is so much more to tell but you will need to find out yourself! Thank you Toni and Samson

Paradise!
Our first visit to Kauai was amazing! We were so happy that we stayed on the North Shore and the Tiki Hut Cottage was exactly what we hoped it would be! Toni and CB are lovely hosts that have totally figured out how to make your stay memorable. We are definitely not the resort type and loved the privacy that we had at the Tiki Hut. Beach access is phenomenal and Tunnel Beach is a gem! The tropical gardens on the property are beautiful complete with serenading bull frogs. We very much appreciated all the extras that came with the Tiki Cottage like beach chairs and mats, beach umbrella, cooler, snorkel gear. Homemade banana bread, macadamia nuts, wine, coffee, chocolates were waiting for us upon our arrival! This is the perfect haven for couples! Do not hesitate to book this delightful place! We can't wait to go back!
