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.

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.

Beautiful Home, Amazing Views
We booked our stay over a year in advance, giving us plenty of time for the anticipation and expectations to build. And we can easily say that Honu Point surpassed every expectation. Day after day, we were mesmerized by the stunning views from every room in the house. Every detail is designed to perfection with nothing overlooked. It is truly a dream and we look forward to returning.

Stunning and Peaceful
Our family had a wonderful vacation week at this lovely home on Honu Point. I wish we’d booked 2 weeks! Rae-Marie greeted us upon arrival and made us feel welcome from the start of our visit. The beauty of this property is unsurpassed. Ocean views from every room in the house. All 3 couples had their own private spaces; bedroom, bathroom and walkout to lanai. We have a couple of talented chefs in the family that were able to prepare great meals in the well stocked kitchen. The outdoor dining area off the kitchen was perfect for almost all of our meals. We also enjoyed the pool, hot tub and outdoor shower each day. We biked to Queens Bath more than once to swim and view turtles and fish. The neighborhood was quiet, peaceful, and great for walking, running, and biking. Princeville Botanical Gardens is a short drive away and very worthwhile visit. They provide a guided tour of their amazing grounds and include a fun chocolate tasting (reservations required in advance). I can’t think of a more idyllic location to enjoy a relaxing vacation surrounded by beauty. We’d love to come back. Thanks again, Rae-Marie and Tom.

This being our second time on Kauai, we knew we wanted to stay on the North Shore. This house was absolutely stunning in every possible way (and we're pretty picky). The pictures online don't do it justice. From the immaculate nature of the home to the incredible views from sunrise to sunset, the house itself is a destination on Kauai. You won't want to leave.

One of a kind Kauai paradise for family spring break trip
This property is simply amazing and one of a kind. The views are incredible and you have so many locations to view from. Morning sunrise coffee on the patio facing the ocean was a must every day along with sunsets on the bench at the end of the tiered yard. The property is top notch, extremely clean and well maintained. Plenty of entertainment options. Bedrooms were extremely comfortable. The garage was well organized with all the gear (snorkel gear, extra beach shoes, beach chairs, umbrellas, bikes, etc) we needed for the week. Rae-Marie was a wonderful host and always accessible to answers questions or give recommendations. Communication was outstanding before and throughout our stay. This property is a high-end retreat where you feel like you are in your own paradise without the noise and congestion of a resort which is exactly what we were looking for as a family.

A slice of Paradise
This is an absolute gem of a property. Located on a bluff over the ocean - which literally can be seen and heard from every room in the house. We spend the majority of our vacation time in oceanfront properties, but this was mesmerizing. We love the north shore for its laid back vibe and this is an ideal location. It was great to hike down to Sea Lodge Beach with literally the beach to ourselves and then snorkel with the fish and turtles. And the highlight was to be there during albatross nesting season, with so many albatrosses in the neighborhood. The house is very nice and well stocked, and could easily accommodate three couples and likely still feel very private. Rae-Marie was welcoming and incredibly responsive. We were already looking for our return visit before we left!

First class all the way!
This house rental is first class all the way! Rae-Marie is lovely and communicated with me throughout the process and met me and my two sisters at the house upon arrival, to give us a quick tour and answer any questions we might have. The views are to die for both from inside the home and outside. There are loads of pantry items already stocked or left from previous guests. All of the bathrooms had jumbo sized shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, as well as bars of soap. They also had hair dryers and a full supply of toilet paper so you don't need to buy or bring any of that with you. The laundry rooms also had a large supply of laundry soap. You will need dryer sheets though and we did have some packed with us. We spent loads of time hanging out in the pool, hot tub, or on the lanai. We loved our stay in this house so much it was very hard to leave for excursions and as fun as those were, we all looked very forward to just going back to this house. All of the bedrooms and bathrooms are large and the beds were very comfortable. The entire home is large and very spacious with expansive ocean views from every single room. We had sunsets, sunrises, and rainbows. It is located in a very high end beautiful neighborhood. As gorgeous as the photos are, they do not do it justice and I promise, you will NOT be disappointed here.

I believe we have found the most magical place on earth! Pictures don't do it justice. From the breathtaking views of the sunset and sunrise, to the private infinity pool, there is no better place to spend your vacation. Rae-Marie is a fantastic host. We appreciated the time she took to do a house orientation upon arrival. This made it possible to start our vacation right away, instead of spending hours figuring out how everything works and were its located. We were also greeted with a thoughtful anniversary gift basket. We can't wait to come back!

Princeville Perfection
Honu Point is in a different world than anything we have experienced in vacation rentals. You can see the amount of planning and thought that has gone into this property from it's initial construction all the way to the individual preparation made for guest arrival day. Rae-Marie has thought of everything and I really appreciated the personal greeting to walk my family through the house. My wife and 3 kids (ages 11, 10 and 6) enjoyed going on adventures each morning in Kauai and returning to the house for afternoon pool-time and evening sunsets with margaritas and wine. We utilized Rae-Marie's recommendations for Private Chef - White Ginger Catering and massages by Melanie on the lanai. Both came to the house so we could experience with the beautiful setting of the property. Ginger and Melanie are amazing at each of their trades. My kids said Ginger's dinner was the best meal they had on our 2 week stay in Hawaii!! I have to agree. My family and I captured many precious moments together at Honu Point and we would love to find our way back some day soon!

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.
