Fresh, Bright, New! Near Hanalei. Walk to the ocean in minutes.

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 and umbrella.

We invite you to kick off your shoes and make yourself at home. If there is anything we can do to make your stay more comfortable, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Little Gem in Hanalei/Princeville Area
The property is located in an ideal part of the north shore with easy access to many adventures in and around both Hanalei and Princeville and over to many of the beaches on the northern coast. We loved everything about this place from its location to the modern layout with splendid wooden floors, kitchen and living space to the lanai out back providing a place of serenity (including the avocado tree)! The host was very responsive and made checkin in/out a breeze. We were very sad to leave (it’s that good)! Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to enjoy a little piece of heaven on Kauai’s north shore. Next time we come back we would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful 9 days with my family
My husband and two kids stayed here for 9 days . The condo was perfect for us . We loved the layout and it was just the right size. We took advantage of the kitchen a lot as we ate many meals at home . The location was perfect for taking many day trips but also they were so many beaches near by to go to . We would definitely come back . Thank you

Nice condo. Helpful host.
We truly enjoyed our stay. Nice new condo with plenty of windows to capture the Trades, and lots of fans. The kitchen is well appointed. The host, Kristina, went out of her way to make sure we could drop off perishables before check-in time, and to help me access a prescription sent to her mailbox. Dining room chairs felt uncomfortable and the lanais are just narrow covered entries. The property is beautifully landscaped, well maintained and quiet. Parking for Unit 2B is right beside the front entry.

North shore gem!
We had such a wonderful time at this property. It’s very clean and well taken care of. The kitchen has everything you need and the location is perfect (Anini beach and Hideaway beach are just a few minutes away). The patio is so cute and we loved having our morning coffee there. The host was very nice and responded to all our messages and queries. We regret not staying longer. Next time we will make sure to book a much longer stay. Until next time Kauai! Mahalo :)

Home Away From Home
We have fallen in love with this property!! The location is quaint, quiet, cozy, and close to everything (food trucks, hiking, beaches, amazing natural scenery, and shopping). Loved the quiet hours. The beds are very comfortable and linens are so soft. The special treats are a nice personal touch. The kitchen is well stocked. Washer and dryer are a great amenity, quiet, and worked very well. Kristina is very communicative. It was very warm and a bit stuffy when we first got there but it cooled off quickly and the evening trade winds are very nice and cool the house a lot. We didn’t mind not having air condition. As a matter of fact, we loved the morning and evening breeze, smelling the air and rain, hearing the birds, roosters, and rain. I recommend either wiping down the washer door, propping the washer door open, or adding a non-bleach sanitizer (which we found at Foodland) to keep mildew scent at bay due to moisture. We loved coming back to our Home Away From Home after daily adventures.

If your planning on staying on the North side of Kauai with family including an 18 month old. This is the place for you. The owner Kristina is on top of it. We truly felt really comfortable with this bungalow. It's near the local market and urgent care facility, not to mention the fire station is right on the corner. The hike to poo poa beach is fun. This place and scenery are spectacular.

Blissful Beach Retreat
We had the most delightful stay at this VRBO in Princeville, Kauai! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with the warmth of Hawaiian hospitality and the sheer convenience of the location. Nestled near beautiful beaches and useful shops, it was the perfect hub for our family vacation. The apartment itself was well-stocked, cute and clean, a priority especially when traveling with both a young daughter and a grandmother. We were pleasantly surprised by the well-equipped kitchen, which made cooking our own meals a breeze, and the thoughtful provision of beach supplies saved us the hassle of renting bulky gear. Check-in and check-out were seamless, thanks to the efficient process set up by our hosts. When we had a question, they were incredibly responsive, ensuring our comfort and peace of mind throughout our stay. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. This apartment truly exceeded our expectations, and we're already dreaming of our next visit. Mahalo to the hosts for sharing their slice of paradise with us!

My husband and friend connected with my son who lives on Kauai and the location of Kristina's VRBO was close to our son's place. We enjoyed walking from the condo to the beach for morning swims, about a 20 minute walk. The modern, comfortable condo was extremely clean and well supplied with everything we needed including boogie boards and beach chairs. The kitchen was a nice sized for our family meals and had everything we needed for cooking. We enjoyed going to the nearby farmer's markets, beaches and hiking areas. I would definitely stay again in the future.

Aloha Rest!!
Our stay was excellent and the home was perfect. We cooked meals, used the chairs and umbrella on the beach, enjoyed the fresh air on the back deck. Market was supper close, Hanelei Bay was an excellent location for relaxing on the beach and took only about 5mins to drive there. The location was just wonderful and we would highly recommend to those looking for a quiet relaxing place to stay and enjoy the island from. Mahalo!!!

Little Gem on The North Shore
Had a most wonderful stay at the Hale Honu. We were welcomed with thoughtful treats and gifts upon arrival. I have visited Kauai many times over the years and found this to be the perfect spot on the North shore. Close Hanalei town, Princeville and Kilauea for shopping and libations. Great path to a small beach and fab house amenities. We really enjoyed cooking and relaxing after days at the beach and hiking. The space is much more large and bright than imagined and we were so thankful for the many extras like chairs, coolers and towels. Most touching was the communication and extra TLC we received from our host when I had a lost item retrieved and delivered after our check-out. I was so grateful. We can't say enough about our stay! Mahalo :)

Ideal location, super comfortable
Excellent stay. Location was as good as we could have expected. 5 minute walk to Nourish for the best Acai bowls on the island and that view!! Also, the walk along the old Club Med path down to the beach is great. Did that every morning. King bed in the master room, super comfy. Used all the beach toys, umbrella and chairs. Great to have access to those! The floors needed an extra sweep when we arrived but that wasn't that big of a deal once we found the broom on the side of the washing machine. Roosters in the early morning, as expected were noisy but that's Kauai. I kind of liked them. :)
