We had a wonderful stay in Kauai and are so glad we chose this property. It is a very special beachfront house with a uniquely large and private yard. The views and ocean access are incredible, and we loved the convenient location.The house is well-built and thoughtfully designed, featuring numerous charming elements, including several patios, interesting artwork and gardens, and lovely lighting for the landscape and coastline. The kitchen, however, is very dated and was not pleasant to cook in – not what we would expect at this rental price point. In our opinion, it is well overdue for new cabinets, appliances, and lighting. The lack of air conditioning (other than in the primary bedroom) was also an issue during our stay, given the weather conditions with temperatures that never dropped below 72F. We utilized the fans and windows as much as possible, but the main rooms and second and third bedrooms were often uncomfortable.That said, we would be happy to stay there again – it would be hard to find another place that compares to the stunning location, unique features, and tranquility of this home. We hope that the owners will make the needed investments to maintain it as the first-class property it was designed to be.
We could not have enjoyed our stay more! The views from the house, the property, the location, everything was just what we hoped it would be.

A unique and serene location where the family spent hours relaxing and taking in the views. An excellent, accessible yet remote-feeling location.
Property has 3 buildings connected by covered walk ways. It is a one of a kind property that is nestled on the Pacific. The master has one building. The kitchen, living room, dining and laundry are in the main building. The other two bedrooms - one king and 2 twins - are in an other building. Only the master has AC. The other bedrooms have ceiling fans and stand alone rotating fans. The house is wonderfully equipped and the VRBO management extremely responsive! The bedroom linens are very high quality and are vey laundered. Unfortunately this massive beauty is showing her age. The washer and dryer need replacing. The top closing hinge is almost rusted through and had our clothes trap then we could n’t get the washer to start. Fortunately we were able to get it into the correct position to finish the rest of the laundry. There are places in the kitchen around the pull out trash that need touch up paint. The house could use a freshen up from the aging patio furniture cushions to the stoves.
This house is more beautiful than the photos… it is a breathtaking property and I highly recommend it. The air conditioning is in the master bedroom only. If you open all of the doors the other rooms are comfortable with fans.

What an amazing property! From the moment we walked in to the day we left, we had the best experience. We were there celebrating our small family, and we did a gender reveal with 30 friends and family watching remotely. This property has everything from sea turtles, sea lions, spouting horn, and surfing right at your doorstep. It is the perfect location to get to all areas of the island.a few items to note: the AC is only in the master bedroom and during peak hours I’m sure the house will be very warm. We were there in early May and had a nice breeze through the main house and 2 other bedrooms. The house is a bit dated, but the property and views make up for it. The kitchen needs a facelift but it does have all the pots, pans, blenders, utensils, lots of good spices, 3 coffee makers including a nespresso, keurig, and regular drip.Overall I can’t say enough about this house. The property is truly exceptional and it was the best family vacation.
A truly unique house on unmatched oceanfront land. Enjoy the sounds of the crashing waves day and night, and the bellow of the Spouting Horn blowhole right next door. Each room of this house is a separate building, with covered connecting walkways. Access from the year to a beach with sea turtles every day (as many as seven at a time) and an occasional monk seal. We've stayed here two years in a row and have already booked for next year.
Our family of seven thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality of an amazing home, property, pool, beach…. Sunsets and sunrises unparalleled…. Mahalo!!

Our first visit to Hawaii. Breathtaking! The best place to be was in the backyard. This was a bucket list trip for us. We would visit again in a heartbeat (if we could afford it!).
Amazing property!! Kitchen had everything you can imagine for meal prep and presentation…Master bedroom was very comfortable and clean! Furniture in living room could use an update for comfort. Swimming pool and grounds well maintained and delightful! It was very relaxing!!
ADVANTAGES
Endless private oceanfront
Covered patios everywhere
Seamless arrival and departure
Spotless
Responsive management company Wailani
NEUTRAL
Decor is dated but we'll maintained
Kitchen and laundry well stocked - no shortage of paper towels, soaps etc
DISADVANTAGES
AC is ONLY in master bedroom - so master bathroom, main rooms, 2nd and 3rd bedrooms are hot at night, even with windows open and the breeze.
No AC in kitchen means any produce outside fridge will spoil overnight.
The property is advertised as "Air conditioning" but you have to read in the fine print to see it's only in the Master bedroom (not in master bathroom), and this was a very bad surprise on arrival. For the price it should include AC in the whole house.

This place is INCREDIBLE! If you can afford it, do it!
Yes, it is worth it. We felt like we had the best home on the island. This property is BEYOND amazing. Huge and offering privacy and security. Indescribable views from every spot on property. The pool is cool and refreshing and the hot tub hot and relaxing. PRIVATE beach which we nicknamed Teal Beach for the combo of turtles and seals that showed up there to visit. We had three adult couples and this home could not have been better to exceed our needs. Also great location on island. We did not want to leave. Would definitely stay here again!

This property is a one of a kind special place that combines location and privacy beyond belief. The unique layout of an oceanfront house on 3/4 acre spread-out in a way to give three separate rooms each there own feel of a private stay but having a common kitchen and gathering room bringing all together provides the best of both worlds for all guests.The pool and spa are perfectly located on the end next to spouting horn providing a front and center display while enjoying. Each morning you are entertained by a host of sea life from a family of turtles to tired monk seals and the land critters such as the resident rooster and cardinals. The tidepools are endless and the flora and fauna is beyond belief. Anyone considering this location should jump at the opportunity to stay. Management communication was perfect and seamless check in and departure.
