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. Traveling with more than four people? The 2025 Standard House Rate is $950/night for up to 4 guests.

Tom cares about the house and the service he provides and it shows. ##### Mike & Deb L. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### don w. Nov 20, 2017 #### 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. ##### don w.

It's in a great location and has an unbelievable view. You can't get any closer to the water than this house. The house has a great layout, it was very clean and very well maintained. Tom described the house very accurately and he is a great guy that is very easy to work with. We recommend this house and would stay here again. Thanks for sharing your home Tom. ##### Stephen Z. ### 10/10 Excellent #### mike l. Jan 13, 2018 #### 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. ##### mike l.

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. ##### Vesta J.

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. ##### Barbra R. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leslie B. Mar 2, 2017 #### 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! ##### Leslie B. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan R. Jan 31, 2016 #### Perfect vacation home in paradise We loved Tom's beach house! We were traveling with another couple and the setup of a home rather than a hotel room was perfect for us. As has been said repeatedly, the location couldn't be better. The view is fabulous, the sound of the waves is wonderful, and the proximity to an abundance of restaurants, stores and beaches is great. We easily found everything we needed at the beach house - and more. Everything is in top-notch condition. I really can't say enough good things about the place and Tom was a pleasure to deal with. I look forward to returning some day! ##### Susan R. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Aug 24, 2010 #### Wonderful experience! Tom, We just want to thank you for allowing us to use your beautiful beach home in Kauai. We stayed in luxurious resort hotels both at the beginning and end of our trip, but I think we all enjoyed the beauty and tranquility of your home the most. Kauai is an incredible island. We all enjoyed relaxing on the lanai, walking out to the cove to snorkel, and watching the turtles. We had our privacy, yet the proximity to restaurants, etc. was perfect. This trip will always be very special to our family, and your home will very much be part of that memory. Thanks again.

May 13, 2012 #### Wonderful spot for the right price Tom did a superb job of making us feel at home in the most beautiful spot(his home). We snorkeled daily right out the side of the property(next to the turtles) and had easy walks to shopping/restaurants. As you can see you are right at the oceans edge and we watched sea turtles and even one Monk Seal swam around in front of the property one day. It was perfect for our family of five(three adult children) as the three bedrooms are plenty separate. His photo album says it all. Thanks so much. ##### John B.

Aug 15, 2012 #### Absolute heaven Our stay at the Beach House on Kauai was absolutely perfect--the house is sparkling clean, and the location could not be better. We snorkeled with the turtles that come every afternoon to the reef right off the patio--it was a highlight of our trip! The best Poipu beaches were close by, and the proximity to fantastic restaurants (the Beach House restaurant for a classic Kauai dinner and sunset, Josselin's for the most amazing tapas, Merriman's for brilliant fresh fish) made this a great vacation home. Tom is a charming host, and takes great pride in this gorgeous home. He ensured we had everything we needed to enjoy not only the house, but the nearby beaches and restaurants. We truly felt treated like family! ##### dolores h.

The house is lovely, not too large...but more than ample room. The location is perfect, a private lane on water's edge, walk to the shopping center, walk to restaurants. Tom is a terrific host! There if you need anything, but not overbearing. He has become a good friend! If you value peace, privacy and want to experience the serenity of the ocean at your door, this is the pace for you!

Sep 10, 2014 #### Paradise Although we thoroughly read through reviews of Tom's place and had very high expectations, it was still an unbelievable sight when we stepped out of our cars onto his property. The ocean crashing, sea turtles swimming, surfers catching waves, and boats sailing by were all in the backyard! The over 120 feet of oceanfront property kept us outside the entire vacation. When we finally had to sleep, we went inside to only hear the ocean's waves crashing all around us. The inside was beautiful as well, but honestly, we lived outside the entire 4 days we were there. We truly hope to return soon with our grown family. ##### Ãnita B. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brenda D. May 28, 2014 #### Paradise! My husband and I decided to go to Kauai for our 25th anniversary. I searched for months for a place to stay on the ocean and found the Beach House.I sent an email and Tom responded within 15 minutes. We made the decision to stay at the Beach House and it was paradise! The house is beautiful, and the ocean is incredible. We went to sleep every night listening to the waves. The sea turtles visited us every night. The house is conveniently located on the south side, and easy access to shopping, beaches and restaurants. We had so much fun snorkeling. We loved sitting on the lanai just watching and listening to the ocean. Wish we could have stayed longer, hopefully we can come back soon. ##### Brenda D.

Mar 3, 2013 #### The Beach House in Poipu The view from this house was outstanding! We enjoyed watching the goergeous sunsets from the back yard. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was very relaxing. The house was extremely clean, well maintained and comfortable. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner of the property. It was evident he cared deeply about his house. He even took the time to cut down a coconut from his tree for us to enjoy for breakfast. The fresh fruit basket in the kitchen was also a pleasant suprise. We would definately recommend this property to other people vacationing in the area. Poipu is a beautiful town with a lot to do. We had dinner at The Dolphin restaurant. The food was fantastic. We're looking forward to staying at this house during our next vacation to Kauai. ##### 0JEAAGtmE3aqAe/r4EMmUGfFiAD6lXMaBYTNbvLKqu95Fa1Kr+ULqSj9WwG1c6p6cgYdReclkv97PxeSc74qOLeZqQRaIU/EAddy 0.

My husband and I, with our three college-aged children, stayed at the Beach House for two weeks and loved every minute of it! Tom is one of the finest people you will ever meet. He was the most cordial of hosts, and we will always be grateful he shared his lovely home with us. We were able to discover the beauty of Kauai because this house has such a fantastic location. Not only is it located on a quiet road, close to many activities, but it is situated along a dramatic coastline where we watched the waves crashing, turtle and whales swimming just off shore, and the most gorgeous of sunsets. Some of the best snorkeling on the island is also right out your door. The yard is great for sunbathing and sandy beaches are close by. We've traveled many places around the world, but this was truly our favorite. The house was fantastic. The views alone make it all worthwhile. We're dreaming of our wonderful stay and planning for a return visit! ##### Eugenie B. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Doug B. Apr 27, 2015 #### Tom's Place! This home could not be situated more perfectly on Kauai - weather in the SW of the island, access to great beaches and amenities, privacy, your own home on the ocean, and drivability up both sides of the island. But that's not what makes it unique. Tom'a Beach House is truly special. The bay in front, while a bit tough for novice snorkelers, offers a vast array of life to enjoy. The sea turtles feed directly in front of the house whenever high tide and dusk align. The crashing surf is the best white noise you'll ever appreciate. And then there's Tom himself - he takes such pride in his home which then shows up in so many ways you will ultimately value greatly. The longer you're able to stay the more this will feel like your own home (six weeks in our case which I highly recommend). ##### Doug B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frank M. Mar 5, 2019 #### 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. ##### Frank M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stacy R. Feb 3, 2018 #### 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! ##### Stacy R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jill G. Jul 30, 2018 #### 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! ##### Jill G. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth D. Sep 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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!! ##### Elizabeth D.

Jul 31, 2013 #### Most Excellent We rented this property for a long awaited family vacation. It was perfect! Location was easy to find, the house had everything you could want. Very well appointed & stocked. We went no where else to snorkel, the reef was amazing and our family had so much enjoyment watching the turtles in front of the property. A great deck with lots of space to eat and BBQ on. Each couple had their own space. Great parking for 2 vehicles and the outside shower was such a bonus! Enabled us to wash the day's sand off before heading inside. Location is easy to find and depart to anywhere on the island from. Not a long trip from the airport and not too far to Costco either. We were so very fortunate to get such great assistance from the owner (Tom). He was most helpful and attentive. We would certainly consider renting this property in the future! ##### P & C A.

Apr 28, 2012 #### A Perfect Piece of Paradise My husband and I and our daughter and son-in-law stayed here for 8 days and only had one meal away at a restaurant because we hated to leave!! The guys went out on a charter boat and caught enough yellowfin tuna and mahi-mahi for many delicious meals. They grilled the fish outside but all of us didn't mind working in the open kitchen because it was right next to the ocean too. And it was fully equiped for anything we needed to use. You can see and hear the ocean from almost anywhere in the beach house. Besides the wall of sliders directly facing the sea which run the length of the spacious living area, the translucent louvered windows in the rest of the home were perfect for custom regulating of the sea breezes, and still provide privacy at night. Ceiling fans everywhere moved the air on the warmer still days. The all cotton bedding was so comfortable with the tropical humidity. We seasoned travelers can't think of a single thing to do to improve anything! Tom has thought of everything. Mother Nature provides the rest for a perfect sea-side stay. ##### XwTxjxGDZ9qEkgij/SyQtGxLUytec4qHbBGPxFvBpHTdlL4Zlr4vNBc6VzE0/zebxj8sCYSzgUS8Fw3df5wPAFDPggSdSxLlvUXj X.

Picture Perfect are the words to surmise both this home and its location. We ended our Hawaiian vacation by visiting Tom's home in Kauai. Tom's home provided the perfect place for us to rest, relax and enjoy the beauty of Kauai. The location of the home allowed us quick access to Old Koloa town as well as access to restaurants, food markets, botanical gardens, beaches, snorkeling and surfing -- some of which were a few minutes walk. We were pleasantly surprised to find Tom's home carefully outfitted to suit our very particular needs: from the linens to the kitchen appliances to his top of the line BBQ (of which we made full use). Each evening, we looked forward to watching the turtles dance in the waters in the backyard, angel fishes gliding around and crabs scurrying about the rocks. After the spectacular sunsets, we relished being lulled to sleep each night by the incoming tide and the fresh ocean air in the most comfortable beds we have found on the road. \[The proximity of the home to the ocean detailed in the pictures are accurate along with the depiction of the interior of the home.\] To top the vacation off, we were also fortunate to have Tom as our helicopter pilot for our tour of the lush landscape of Kauai - a memory that we will always cherish. This home away from home beckons for a return visit - one of which we intend to fulfill. ##### E&D S.

We spent the week after Christmas with our four college age kids and we all had a blast! WHAT A VIEW! Each evening we sat on the deck admiring a glorious sunset after a whole day of taking in the sights of Kauai. Each night, we were lulled to sleep by the waves lapping up against the shoreline just steps from the house. The beds were SO comfortable! It was especially nice to have the view of the ocean with no obstruction. Since it sits on a cove, there are no people walking in front of the home.... just nature in all it's glory. The best snorkeling was right outside our door. We rented a couple of paddle boards and went frolicking right in the cove! The inside of the house was immaculate and very well appointed. We were provided a great big basket of fresh fruit and flowers as a welcome. Just fantastic! The greatest majority of private homes in Kauai have no air conditionning so I thought I might mention that we didn't miss it at all! In fact, it was such a delight to have the ocean breezes keeping us cool at night. I would definitely stay here again! Thanks, Tom, for sharing your magnificent home with us! ##### Sabina R. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Ilikai Hotel & Luxury Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Ilikai-Hotel-Luxury-Suites.h3479.Hotel-Information) > > [OUTRIGGER Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Waikiki-Beachcomber-By-Outrigger.h21123568.Hotel-Information) > > [Wailea Beach Resort - Marriott, Maui](https://www.expedia.ca/Kihei-Hotels-Wailea-Beach-Resort-Marriott.h20303.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Waikiki-Beach.h2766.Hotel-Information) > > [Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa, Waikiki Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Moana-Surfrider.h15534.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Hilton-Waikiki-Beach.h25227.Hotel-Information) > > [OUTRIGGER Waikiki Paradise Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-OHANA-Waikiki-East-By-Outrigger.h14848.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea](https://www.expedia.ca/Kihei-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Maui-At-Wailea.h14336.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Hilton-Hawaiian-Village-Waikiki-Beach-Resort.h13857.Hotel-Information) > > [OUTRIGGER Reef Waikiki Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-OUTRIGGER-Reef-Waikiki-Beach-Resort.h23249.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Waikiki by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Waikiki.h7795.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel La Croix](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Hotel-LaCroix.h49776.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Sheraton-Waikiki.h7385.Hotel-Information) > > [Palms at Wailea Maui](https://www.expedia.ca/Kihei-Hotels-Palms-At-Wailea-Maui-By-Outrigger.h13093.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Waikiki Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Waikiki-Beach.h22539.Hotel-Information) > > [Prince Waikiki](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Prince-Waikiki.h287.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Waikiki Beach Walk](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-Waikiki-Beach-Walk.h1509657.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Hawaiian, a Luxury Collection Resort, Waikiki](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-The-Royal-Hawaiian.h19184.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Wailea Maui, A Waldorf Astoria Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kihei-Hotels-Grand-Wailea-Maui.h7867.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Princess Kaiulani Waikiki Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Sheraton-Princess-Kaiulani.h18246.Hotel-Information) > > [The Twin Fin Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-The-Twin-Fin-Hotel.h34498.Hotel-Information) > > ['Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Alohilani-Resort-Waikiki-Beach.h21781.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Kea Lani Maui](https://www.expedia.ca/Kihei-Hotels-Fairmont-Kea-Lani-Maui.h8765.Hotel-Information) > > [Aston at the Waikiki Banyan](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Aston-At-The-Waikiki-Banyan.h20880.Hotel-Information) > > [Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Waikiki-Beach-Marriott-Resort-Spa.h5306.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Vacation Club The Modern Honolulu](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-The-Modern-Honolulu.h3855608.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Shore Waikiki](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Park-Shore-Waikiki.h13853.Hotel-Information) > > [OUTRIGGER Waikiki Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-OUTRIGGER-Waikiki-Beach-Resort.h13791.Hotel-Information) > > [Wayfinder Waikiki](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Wayfinder-Waikiki.h6640.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Waikiki-Beach-Resort-Spa.h19988.Hotel-Information)
