Honu Awa: Upscale Oceanfront Home w/ Pool, AC & Cliffside Views

Enjoy an amazing retreat at Honu Awa, meaning Turtle Cove in Hawaiian. This upscale home sits on a dramatic bluff overlooking the north shore surf, a mesmerizing reef, and endless Pacific waters.

This stunning villa boasts three ocean-view bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. The fourth bedroom, just steps away from the pool, also has its own outdoor bathroom. Relax in the refined comfort of the open-concept floor plan, where the well-appointed kitchen flows into the dining room, which in turn flows into the living space. Each of the common areas has a bright and airy feel, with high ceilings and amazing ocean vistas.

Honu Awa's expansive lanais feature outdoor seating with incredible privacy and Pacific views, where you can sip your morning coffee or enjoy an open-air candle-lit dinner. The private courtyard contains a lovely lagoon-style pool, where you can relax in scenic tranquility. This Hawaiian haven is nestled into a quiet cul-de-sac, giving your family an ideal setting for a peaceful getaway.

Located in the Princeville area of north Kauai, this exceptional villa provides convenient access to renowned Hanalei Bay. The quaint bordering town of Hanalei also offers a variety of restaurant options, along with art galleries, boutiques, and surf shops. And whether you're looking for snorkeling, hiking, boating, stand-up paddling, or golf opportunities, you'll find them nearby on the north shore.

The home features split air conditioning systems in two bedrooms on the second level and one bedroom by the courtyard/pool area. The primary suite and living area feature central air conditioning.

*Please note, this property has surveillance cameras pointing to the exterior of the home for security purposes.

Please be advised that pool heat is NOT included in the rental rate. If you are interested in heating the pool, kindly contact us for more details regarding our pool heat policy.

Note About Seasonal Gnats

We want to ensure guests are aware that during the winter months in Hawaii, gnats are naturally more prevalent due to the tropical climate. These tiny insects are attracted to light and are especially common in lush, green areas like ours. While we take every measure to maintain the property, their presence is a natural part of the environment and beyond our control.

To minimize their impact during your stay:

Keep doors and windows closed as much as possible.
Ensure screens are securely in place. Please note, however, that some gnats are so small they may get through even the finest mesh screens.

We appreciate your understanding as you experience the natural beauty of Hawaii’s unique ecosystem.

Breathtaking view and beautiful house

A group of 8 stayed for 4 nights on the property and were very comfortable. The household amenities were plentiful, especially in the well-stocked kitchen. The views were spectacular, especially sunrise and sunset. The only note would be the difference in the level of the remodel of the pool bedroom and bathroom was not obvious in the photos or communication with team. Otherwise the concierge team was stellar!

Exceeded Expectations

The home was beautiful and the views were stunning. The home is located in a lovely neighborhood within walking distance to Foodland grocery store, shops and restaurants (about a 25 minute walk or short drive). We hiked down to the beach via a trail in the neighborhood and we had the beach to ourselves. Yen was a wonderful host and was very helpful and communicative. We appreciated all the small details - they really thought of everything. Highly recommend this home and I hope to return in the future!

Honu Awa

The Princeville area is spectacular and Honu Awa’s location is superb. The views of the Pacific Ocean from every window on the back of the house are just breathtaking. The kitchen was extremely well equipped with high end cooking gear and appliances. Each of the 4 bedrooms had a bathroom. Plenty of space for all! Common living area with large screen TV was also a hit. Fantastic walking paths in neighborhood. Access to tremendous beaches nearby. Helpful and friendly property manager (Yen)! Highly recommend this property!

Worth the Cost

We had a family vacation with our three married children and picked this house based on the 4 bedrooms and the pool and balcony views. The house did not disappoint. The house is well stocked with all of the appliances and things you need. We appreciated all of the beach towels and the quality of the bathroom towels. If you plan on staying in the Princeville area, this house is perfect. We had access to a beach which was a short hike down the hill plus all of the great beaches on the north side of the island. Also, the Food Land grocery store is very close. Finally, Yen with the management company was very available although we did not need her very often. I highly recommend this house for your Kauai vacation.

April 2022 stay

We are a family of 6. The property is spacious, well decorated and appointed. It is well stocked. The kitchen has high end appliances and was a pleasure to prepare our meals there. The views are amazing. It is a lovely and quiet neighborhood. Many nice shops and restaurants within a 5 minutes drive. We paid the daily fee to have the pool heated. It wasn’t working and on the 3rd full day of our stay the pool man came by and fixed it. Thereafter we enjoyed the pool immensely. My family enjoyed our time in Kauai and the property was certainly a factor.

Princeville Paradise Found

This rental home was all that we expected and more for our first post-COVID family vacation! The pictures truly do not do it justice. Yen was the most gracious property manager/hostess. We arrived to find a lovely fruit and snack basket waiting with a delicious bottle of Hawaiian rum included. Set in a quiet Princeville neighborhood above Sea Lodge Beach with AC in every room, the views are stunning, each morning and evening providing a more spectacular sunrise and sunset than the day before. Four large bedrooms, all with comfortable King sized beds and ensuite bathrooms, plus another half bath off of kitchen/dining area, made this the perfect spot to spread out and relax - waking up and falling asleep to the sound of the crashing surf below. Yen and her team arranged an in-home massage appointment and offered recommendations and concierge service for other local activities. The pool was great for the kids and adults alike. Plenty of pool and beach toys and towels were available for our use. We will be forever spoiled by this amazing Kauai experience and while a bit pricey, it was worth the splurge. Mahalo Yen!
