Waiohonu Lush, tropical foliage, Beachfront Home

Lush, tropical foliage and spacious grounds surround this delightful, beachfront home. It exemplifies the tranquillity for which Kauai's north shore has long been valued. Vaulted ceilings add a spacious feel to the large living area which offers fabulous ocean views. Amid gentle breezes, the lanai is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy nature's impressive panorama and spectacular sunsets.

Just steps from your door, the beautiful, white-sand beach invites leisure activities. Have a picnic, build a sand castle, stroll along the extensive coastline, watch for playful dolphins off shore or simply bask in the sun's warmth and experience total relaxation. Dine in the privacy of your vacation hideaway or take a scenic drive to neighboring Hanalei about ten minutes away.

There is a nice variety of restaurants and cafes here as well as small shops which welcome browsing. A five-minute drive beyond Hanalei brings you to Princeville for additional shops and eateries as well as two challenging golf courses ranked among the nation's very best.

Activities nearby include seasonal swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing, surfing, windsurfing, kayaking, sailing, hiking, sightseeing, flightseeing, shopping, tennis and golf.

On the most beautiful beach

The listing pictures do not do this house justice. The beach beyond the house is right off the yard— you can watch sunsets looking west along the coast and walk to tunnels (30 min) along the beach. The neighborhood is quiet, beautiful, and friendly. The house was incredibly well stocked (more so than any other Vrbo we’ve used), including beach chairs and a cooler. If I had to say anything negative it would be the lack of a full wall on the master and the 2nd bedroom was a little snug for our 11 and 13 year olds, but the listing pics are accurate. Thanks for an incredible stay!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have come back to Waiohonu for about 10 years. It is now a regular part of our annual rhythm.... a place of peace, beauty, refreshment. The amenities are complete but simple...which is just how we would want them. Every morning at dawn, I take my cup of coffee to the beach and watch the sunrise. Almost every late afternoon, we walk west along the beach for the sunset. What can we say except that we have no desire to stay anywhere else!

Totally underrated!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We booked this property on a whim because it was one of the only available on the North shore for spring break. There weren’t many photos, or a ton of reviews, but we decided to just go for it choosing location over being in love with the property (or even super confident in it). We ended up loving everything about our stay. The house is adequate, but not fancy. Perfect for getting a real island vibe and not a touristy/resort experience. We LOVED leaving the louvered windows open at night to hear the waves, and waking up to the birds in the morning. The views of the ocean and palms out front, and the lush mountains behind the property are great as well. This is our 4th trip to Kauai and by far our favorite stay!

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy

OK, but a hotel would probably be a better value for price

The location is great. Until you realize this property description doesn't mention another rental property 25 feet away on the same lot that looks directly into your living area with no privacy wall or dilineation. In fact, property host goes so far as to manipulate the photographs to hide the property. Very Deceitful. Incredible that no other review exposes this fact. Found the property neglected (landscaping, dirty outdoor grilling equipment, cracked porcelain sinks, dangerous shower plate glass door, non-working entertainment gear, motion alert alarm present but nonfunctional), and when I did communicate with management they expected me to know the nickname of the house although I gave them the exact address and my name. They offered no resolution. Not very aloha, nor professional. The adjacent property not shown had a family of 5 staying with 3 screaming toddlers that got us up every morning at 5:30 a.m.. To add injury to insult we had a theft at the property while we were present. Found old barbequed meat in the Weber kettle outside. The gas BBQ was nauseatingly dirty and way past its prime. Do your homework people.

The Road to High Adventure

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have vacationed on the North Shore Kauai since the mid 1970's. Waiohonu was a perfect location for our stay. We enjoyed privacy, comfort, walks on the beach, and beautiful sunsets during our stay. We enjoyed cooking meals in the well equipped kitchen or going out to many of the local restaurants. The customer service was outstanding. I receive a phone message from the management alerting me to an upcoming temporary power outage early the next morning due to electrical company maintenance for our general area.My son and his friend went on a hike to Kalalau for a few days. The trail is less than a mile from the house. My wife and I went ocean fishing and caught dinner for quite a few days. Hanalei is flush with Hawaiian culture and food. The Tahiti Nui, Kalypso, and The Hanalei Dolphin were our favorites. In the past visits we drove to the south side of the island, but we did not want to spend that much time away from this beautiful property. We frequented the restaurant Opakapka that is walking distance from the house. Very good food including fresh fish. At the end of the day we looked forward to sitting on the beach in front and watching some of the most beautiful sunsets.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The north shore property is beautiful in every aspect. The pictures do not do it justice. The large private home, 20 steps from the ocean is a dream. My wife and I spent 12 days at the house with everything you could imagine; coolers, beach chairs, well stocked kitchen, and windows everywhere to see out. No air conditioning, however, with the windows open the house got cold at night enough to use covers in bed.John H.Inlet NY

Reviewer Comments: very nice, it is a nice location, the house does not have a covered lania therefore it is hard to sit outside on the rainy days, which you can have a lot of in the winter time on the north shore. The screens need to be addressed so that you do not have to deal with the mosquitoes. an inexpensive fix

Pretty much perfect

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First, Kauai Vacation Rentals is wonderful and trustworthy and takes care of anything you need. So be confident using this company!As for Waiohonu... we found it to be pretty much perfect and will be back yearly, if possible. If you are looking for 'deluxe' accommodations and need A/C this is not for you. Which is not to say it isn't lovely.. it is!! It's just not 'fancy.'The location is perfect. And private. While there are houses on either side, the yard is large and the vegetation makes it private. You can lay out in the sun and run around in the house and yard however you like, if you get my drift. The view from the house and the deck is amazing. And the beach is right there past the palm trees. The beach in front of the house is a perfect place to watch the sunrise and sunset, both stunning. You need to walk to the right about 3 houses to get to a perfect place to swim, which we did often. (There is a lot of coral right in front of the house.)I was impressed by how well stocked the kitchen was with equipment. We hit Costco on the way from the airport and while we ate out a few times, as there are good places to eat in Hanalei, I also cooked a fair amount and, as a chef, I was never really in need. Excellent. The living area is very comfy, as are both bedrooms. I slept well in the twin bed in the room with two twin beds. My friend won the coin toss and also loved the larger bed in the other bedroom. Again, impressed by the quality. No, there is no A/C but we were never uncomfortable as the breezes were almost constant. With all the screened windows open, the house stayed cool with a lovely breeze. While we did a few excursions and hikes, I could come to this house for a couple of weeks and never leave and be very content. It's terrific!!

They really showed the integrity and competence of their organization through this pandemic when flexibility was so important. Now on to Waiohonu... honestly, for what my wife and I want in this time of restoration and refreshment where we want the sea...we want mountains... we want privacy and simplicity with all the comforts... this place is perfect... this must be our tenth time here. The only reason we would stay anywhere else is because we had to. It is the perfect spot on the most beautiful island.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I spent 9 days at Waiohonu and we enjoyed it very much. This was our first time at Waiohonu but not our first time on Kauai's North Shore. Having previously stayed over the years at the Hanalei Colony we enjoyed the privacy of a stand alone home right on the beach.
