2 Bedrooms • 3 Bathrooms (2 full, 1 half) 3 Baths (2 full, 1 half) • Sleeps 1-6Welcome to Honu He'e Nalu, The Surfing Turtle, our family's personal beachfront vacation home in the heart of Poipu, Kauai.
Wake up to floor-to-ceiling windows and sweeping, unobstructed ocean and mountain views, and fall asleep to the sound of the waves. This remodeled, light-filled condo blends boho-luxury comfort with true beachfront living, mini-split AC in every room, and space for up to 6 guests.
THE LOCATION
Brennecke's Beach is just a 2.5-minute walk from the front door, where you can watch the honu surfing in the waves. Poipu Beach, one of Kauai's best snorkeling spots, is just another 2 minutes down the sand. At sunset, head down to the beach to watch the turtles come ashore for the night, and you'll often spot monk seals resting on the sand (please keep at least 50 feet away. It's the law and it protects these endangered animals).
THE SPACE
An open living and dining area framed by those ocean views, a fully equipped kitchen for easy meals after beach days, and a private lanai made for morning coffee and sunset views. The remodel keeps everything bright, comfortable, and ready for a real Kauai stay, not a cookie-cutter rental.
BEDROOMS & BATHS
Two bedrooms, each with a king bed, plus 3 bathrooms (2 full, 1 half). The bedrooms comfortably sleep 4. For a 5th or 6th guest, the living area sofa has bedding provided (it is not a pull-out), or we can set up an inflatable mattress if you prefer. Just message us before arrival.
OUTDOOR & RESORT
Two resort-style pools are steps away, including the exclusive Manualoha oceanfront pool, plus a hot tub, waterfall wading pool, and tennis and pickleball courts. Gas BBQs are nearby on the grounds. Poipu Beach Athletic Club access is included for up to 5 guests (a 6th guest at the club at the same time would need the club's day pass). Beach gear is ready for you.
GUEST ACCESS
You have the entire condo except two locked owner's closets, plus access to the Manualoha pool and the Poipu Kai pool and hot tub. The Poipu Kai tennis club is available for a small fee payable to the club.
