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!

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!

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.

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.

Wonderful!

Our group of 8 (my husband and I, our four adult children, one son's girlfriend and one daughter´s boyfriend) spent ten nights at Honu Awa. This was our third visit to Kauai and Honu Awa was by far the most beautiful house we ever rented on the island. The views are spectacular and we loved the modern interior. Everything was spotless clean! The house has a great size for a group of 8 and is very well equipped. We didn't miss anything. Yen was by far the best host we ever had - and we have rented plenty of houses before. She would respond to my questions within minutes. One night we feared that we would run out of propane for the barbecue, so I texted Yen and asked if there was a spare propane bottle on the property. There wasn't - BUT - within MINUTES Yen had organized that Steve (her maintenance man) brought a spare one. There is absolutely NOTHING to complain about Honu Awa or Yen. We had the greatest vacation and would love to come back.

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!
