Hoona Beach House - The Best Oceanfront Paradise in Kauai

*****To avoid the credit card processing fee, please contact our office atfor alternative forms of payment*****

Escape to The Hoona Beach House on the beautiful sunny south shore of Kaua'i. The Beach House is an ocean-front home, sitting literally 30 feet from the water's edge with 210-degree ocean views. You can hear the crashing waves from every room of this impeccable 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home. The lanai/deck stretches out from the rear of the house, giving you a perfect spot to watch the local surfers catch the massive breaking waves on the outside reef, enjoy the breathtaking sunset each evening, or watch the playful sea turtles at the water’s edge. At night, your reality will seamlessly become a dream with the sound of the waves just outside.

The Hoona Beach House is a spotlessly clean, open style single-story Hawaiian floorplan, with glass walls across the back. The property features a front-row ocean view from almost everywhere inside this 3-bedroom, 3-bath home. It is completely private with tropical surroundings, sitting on the shore of a tranquil cove with lava rock and coral reefs on both sides, giving you an unobstructed ocean view and privacy from neighbors.

In 2021 a major renovation and re-build of the Hoona Beach House was completed. Everything inside and out is modernized and brand new (from windows, doors, roof, cabinetry, appliances, fixtures, flooring, to even the furniture, etc.). The 1800 square foot home features an enormous, open living-dining area, a fully stocked gourmet kitchen with a large pantry, and inside laundry facilities. A California king bed is in the master bedroom. The second and third bedrooms both offer queen sized beds. All baths have Caesarstone counter tops, and top of the line European designed fixtures. One-piece Toto toilets are in all three baths All linens and towels are provided, including plenty of large beach towels.

The Hoona Beach House is a custom designed tropical retreat. The interior has glass walls that open wide to the large lanai, where waves lap the reef only steps away. A gas barbecue is outside on the deck, for casual cooking. Ceiling fans are in each room, to enhance the cool, scented breeze of the trade winds. And, when you return from the beach, or if you just want to cool off, an outdoor, hot/cold shower is in a private corner of the rear yard under tall coconut trees, overlooking the sparkling ocean and reef. After your stay, you will cherish the memories of your visit for a lifetime.

Tom's Beach House is Amazing!

Amazing, simply amazing! The Beach House was the perfect place for us. It is newly renovated, spotless, spacious, and perfectly located. There are two large double sliding doors leading to the oceanfront lanai with a spectacular view of the ocean and when opened a wonderful breeze blows across the living room. It is only a 2-5 minute walk to some of the best snorkeling on the island. Shops, restaurants, surfing and various beaches are just 5-10 minutes away. We loved our hikes to the Waimea Canyon, Heritage Trail and Kapalua, our surfing lessons and a sailing trip up around the Napali coast (absolutely gorgeous!) However, some of our favorite things were right there at Tom’s Beach House, reading under the coconut tree, watching the turtles, relaxing on the lanai and having family dinner's at home. This was my first time to Kaua’i and as the week went by, I appreciated more and more the location of The Beach House and how special it is. Tom is an awesome host; he takes great pride and joy in sharing his home with others. He is always available for questions and help. I highly recommend staying here and I can’t wait to return!!

Oceanfront Paradise

Terrific location with deck and lawn in front of a great snorkeling bay. Sitting in the house all you see is ocean. The kitchen is really well appointed for in house cooking and barbecuing. We’ve been to Kauai many times over the years and this spot is one of the best. Thanks Tom

The Beach House Kauai was the wonderful.

If you go to Hawaii to be close to the ocean the Beach house is where you want to stay. My girlfriend Barbara and I spent a week there and enjoyed it very much. The ocean is right there visible to you from anywhere in the house and especially on the deck which is only 10 yards from the water. You can't capture it completely in pictures you have to stay there to experience it. The house was very clean and comfortable and has everything you need to enjoy an extended stay. The owner Tom Sterling was very gracious, helpful and welcoming and we left feeling we had made a new friend. The location was another factor that made this property exceptional. You can walk to some very good restaurants, shopping and Baby Beach is 5 doors down from the house. Other beaches are also close by. We have stayed at 8 other properties on Kauai and this is our favorite by far. We are already looking forward to coming back next year.

This was our second time staying at the Beach House. Great views, pleasant layout, extremely clean and very easy to use. Tom cares about the house and the service he provides and it shows.

Relaxing and Amazing Beach House

This house is simply amazing in location and beauty! This is our 2nd time to stay at Tom's place in the last 5 years. The house is stunning and immaculate. The kitchen is supplied with anything you may need (we actually had Thanksgiving dinner there). The relaxing sounds of the ocean is heard even with the windows closed. Tom was readily available to help with any activities we wished to do while on the Island. The Beach House Restaurant is a short walk and was excellent. If you want a relaxing vacation watching the turtles each day and listening to the beautiful sounds of the ocean, this is a must stay!

Excellent local with fabulous view of the ocean.

The house was well-stocked and in near perfect condition, including spacious kitchen-dining area, three full baths, and convenient washer and dryer, plus an outside shower. Enjoyed dramatic sunsets, sea turtles, and flocks of green parrots. Would definitely come back again.

Perfect location!

This was our second visit to Tom's beach house, and it was lovely! The house is just as we remembered it. The views are exceptional - we loved sitting out by the wall and watching the turtles nip at the rocks, and the crabs run away from us... It was a very peaceful and restorative vacation! Just what we needed. It was quite hot the week we were there, and during a couple hours a day we wished there was more breeze or a/c (or portable fans?), but we either just went swimming or out exploring instead. Last time we were here, it wasn't in August, so the heat wasn't so bad! We went snorkeling about twice a day - and saw lots of fish, a few eels, lots of honu, and even a sting ray! Watching the surfers was also a treat. The parakeets every night and morning were quite the sight - thousands of them - we loved watching them fly back and forth. And we were there during the Perseids, so each night we sat outside and watched the shooting stars! The house is very convenient to a small grocery store, drug store, and a number of restaurants, so we were glad to be able to walk to a bunch of places. I would recommend stocking up at the Safeway or something near the airport, though. Tom was very kind and always available if we needed anything - it was always a pleasure chatting with him. We definitely plan on returning! Thanks, Tom, for again sharing your lovely home with us!

Kauai's Beach House

The Beach House is in a primo location in Poipu, Kauai. You can watch the surfers from sunrise to sunset, and seeing the green Hawaiian sea turtles feeding around noon every day from the backyard - which is THE OCEAN! You can easily access the beautiful ocean as well for some snorkeling or surfing. An outdoor shower and hose help with all those ocean/sandy days. The home itself is immaculate, with ample room for 6 guests. It has a washer/dryer, beach towels and a well stocked kitchen for all your needs. The entire backside of the house is glass that opens up to the outdoors, where you will spend almost all of your time! There is no A/C so it can be adjustment for those used to A/C, but the windows are easily opened to allow for cross winds and cooling inside the home. This area of the neighborhood is quiet. Very close to all the shops and restaurants and great beaches! Thank you Tom for being a great host and being available for any needs! We love Kauai!

Inviting home in a perfect location

We just returned from spending six days at The Beach House Kaua'i where we enjoyed a carefree vacation in your lovely house. It was equipped with thought to everything anyone could possibly need! We spent the days visiting the surrounding beaches where my grandson could surf, and the best snorkeling was right in our own backyard! My family thanks you for a great vacation!

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!

The photo showing the table on the lanai overlooking Kuhio Cove and the Pacific Ocean says it all! This was the PERFECT vacation spot for our family to enjoy all that Kauai has to offer. The location is excellent--directly overlooking the ocean. It's near Spouting Horn, the botanical garden, historic Old Town Koloa, the sandy beach at Poipu, and some great shopping and dining. The home is PRISTINE. When I say that, you can't imagine how clean and well kept this home is. Probably the cleanest vacation rental we've ever stayed in. The kitchen is very well stocked with all you'll need and well organized. The owner, Tom, is very accommodating and explains the home and the area in great detail upon your arrival. He's available for any needs or questions and is a gracious host. The beds are comfortable. Much better than traditional hotel fare. Multiple windows (screened) allow enjoyment of the trade winds and the sounds of waves lapping on the shore. We particularly enjoyed the use of the outdoor shower. Showering while overlooking the ocean by the light of the moon and stars was a treat! The scent of Plumeria provided a nice welcome every time we entered the house. Our son enjoyed treating us to some meals on the grill. Very nice to have. Multiple seating options for meals, lounging, etc. Views of the ocean from kitchen, master bath, master bedroom, extra bedroom, dining room, den, etc. Honestly, only one room in the house (3rd bedroom) is the only place where you don't see the ocean! The back yard is wonderful. Grassy lawn and palm trees make sitting out and enjoying the sun and scenery so enjoyable. Our favorite nearby beach (and scenic views) at Mahaulepu beach and Makauwahi Cave were only about 10 min drive. We enjoyed eating and shopping at the Shops of Kukui'ula which are literally walking distance away. The Wednesday Market was such a treat (Sugarloaf pineapple can't be missed!) Try Uncle's Shave Snow! YUM! (or Luppert's Kauai Pie" Ice Cream) It's only 20 minutes from the Kauai Coffee Plantation and 25 minutes from the Port where tours leave for Na Pali coast. It's only about 35 minute drive to Waimea Canyon which we thoroughly enjoyed. A short 25 minute drive to Lihue (the capital and airport). I can't say enough good about this property, the owner, the island of Kauai, etc. Great place to enjoy family time. If you are going to Kauai, this is a hidden gem! (If you want sandy beach, it's a short walk)

Why I would come back

This property is blessed with a truly unique location, just feet from the ocean and an owner that appreciates it's uniqueness . Tom greeted us at The Beach House when we arrived and gave us the grand tour . He already knew the five of us by name . Every potential need had been addressed in advance . The three bedroom home was immaculate with all the amenities clearly labelled and easy to find . The mattresses are new , sheets crisp and towels fluffy . The layout of the home maximizes the ocean view . At our request Tom recommended restaurants ( Beach House and Tide Pools ) , the best beaches to snorkel ( Lawai and Po'ipu ) and places to shop for food ( Big Save in Koloa ) . Each and every recommendation was spot on . The helicopter flight on the second day ( Blue Hawaii , hope you get Barrett as your pilot ) was incredible . Tom checked in with me a couple of times via phone to ensure we were happy and that all our needs were met . We have rented homes in the U.S. , Caribbean and Italy and we have not been more pleased with our experience than our stay at The Beach House . There is no question about a return visit , it is just a matter of when. Well done Tom ! Michael Case Tuscaloosa , Al

A truly outstanding holiday!

Our family had a fantastic time at ‘Tom’s Beach House. The home was immaculate and there was attention to every detail to make our stay enjoyable. Tom is a kind, friendly host who took great pains to meet us when we arrived and show us the features of the house. It sits right next to the water; turtles swim out front and whales can be seen in the distance. There is good snorkeling a few steps away, and it’s a 3 minute drive to wonderful beach diving at old Koloa Landing. There is a lanai running across the back of the house which makes for amazing sunset viewing well having cocktails in the evening. One of the highlights of the home is the outdoor shower where you can bask in a cascade of warm water under beautiful palm trees while listening to crashing ocean waves. It is s short walk up to the shopping area where there are fun stores and great dining. We were very sad to leave and are looking forward to coming back again as soon as possible. Mahalo, Tom!

Great Beach House

This is a great property. It provides a fabulous view, is well maintained and reflects the owner's attention to detail. Sea turtles feeding in the morning, whales on the horizon, incredible sunsets and a deck that provides more than a 180 degree vista are among the key components of the house. Tom clearly wants his visitors to enjoy the island and the property and is a very responsive owner. Having stayed at a number of VRBO and Airbnb properties, we would give this one our highest ranking.

Relaxing Getaway

This is a great spot. The location is excellent and it's right on the water and south facing so it enjoys a lot of sun. You can snorkel with the turtles right out front. The house is so clean that you can eat off of the floors , is spotless and it has everything that you'd need.

Better than our first stay

Once again we have a super time at Tom's Beach House! The house is very clean and neat as a pin. This ocean location is unobstructed and watching each sunset is pure pleasure. We had more turtles feeding close up right in front of the house than at Spouting Horn! This was our second stay and are already thinking about our next stay. Thanks again Tom.

This is the best of Hawaii

This is how you spell vacation! This vacation home is well cared for, well appointed, and in a perfect location. Tom is a gracious and caring host with local insight and much aloha for his guests. The location couldn't be more ideal. Falling asleep to the sound of surf or taking an early morning dip in your backyard ocean transports you to the relaxed feel of Kauai. Swimming and snorkeling is out your back door, as are the sea turtles. Surfing is a short walk away. Shopping and dining is a walk or short drive away. The Island has much to offer and except for the north shore, the drive everywhere is very manageable. The national gardens are close by and a hike in the Grand Canyon of the Pacific should not be missed. In the end, you just don't want to leave! I guess we need to come back.

Amazing

The Beach House was immaculate and organized with everything in its specific spot. The multitude of windows kept the home very cool, and breezy. Words (even pictures) cannot express the sound of the ocean less than 30 feet away, the smell of the plumeria, or the brilliance of the 7 rainbows we saw over 4 days. Walk to the market place and dinner choices, Farmers market is close by also. The Owner Tom is a great host, taking care of everything we needed and checking in after a day to ensure a pleasant vacation! We cannot wait to come back!

The Beach House, Poipu, Kaua'i

I have visited the Hawaiian islands over 70 times and there is absolutely nowhere I would stay on Kaua'i other than this wonderful house. It's the sound of the waves when going to bed, the ambiance, the really top quality configuration of the house and the outside deck for breakfast and watching the surfers. I cannot recommend it highly enough - it is a M U S T. Paula Hammack

Beautiful "Peace" of Paradise

We enjoyed the Beach House very much. The house is top of the line, immaculate, and a great view. Our only wish was that we could stay longer. We were there during the Kona Winds (we heard called) so the cove next to the house was out of our league for swimming and snorkeling but there is a great beach walking distant as well as restaurants and shops. (quick drive). The owner Tom is great to work with. Thank you Tom!

Amazing home and location!

We stayed in The Beach House Kauai for a week with our friends (4 adults total) last month. The home is immaculate and was a wonderful and peaceful place to call home during our stay in Kauai. The location is perfect as it is only a 10 minute walk to many shops and restaurants. This was our 8th trip to Kauai over the past 27 years. The Beach House Kauai was the best place we have stayed in all of those years - best location, best accommodations, etc... We HIGHLY RECOMMEND The Beach House and want to give a big thanks to Tom for his hospitality and for being a fantastic VRBO owner who is providing a great house to his guests.

Poipu Paradise

Our family had a wonderful stay at Tom's beach house in Poipu! The home is in an absolute perfect location walking distance to beach, restaurants, and shopping yet nestled on a quaint residential street. The comfortable, open layout and large glass doors revealing beautiful ocean views made it hard to leave the house for daily excursions. We were certain to return home to the lanai in time to see the breathtaking sunsets in the evenings. Our family of 5 slept great in the comfortable beds, hearing the waves break and birds singing.
