Perched on a peninsula 160 feet above the Pacific Ocean, on what many say is the best lot in the Princeville Resort, our newly built 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 2900-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 Netflix 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 new GE Profile 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 can 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 can 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 the 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's also a whole island to explore with endless numbers of beaches, hikes, activities, and some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. However, because Honu Point has so much to offer, you may well find yourself not wanting to leave our vacation home in Princeville.

This is possibly the most beautiful spot on the island! Every room has a beautiful view. Close to several wonderful restaurants and a gorgeous golf course. Planning to return next year for a month! A week just isn’t long enough.

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.

Response:It was such a pleasure meeting you and your family. Even with a winter storm gracing the island, you maintained the most positive attitude and seemed to have a spectacular time. I loved that! So happy you enjoyed our home.

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!

Response:Mahalo, Todd, for your thoughtful review. I will pass on your praise to my house and pool cleaners. Much appreciated by all of us.

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.

Response:Thank you, Stan. I'm sorry I was off island when you came, but hopefully you will decide to come back and I will get a chance to meet you then. So glad you loved the Princeville area and our home.

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.

Response:It was a joy to finally be able to welcome you to our home. We look forward to your next visit! Mahalo.

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.

Stunning Property
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.

Response:You came at the perfect time of year to witness the sun rising from the ocean in the east and setting into it at dusk. We're so glad you enjoyed our property.
