This magnificent, island-style estate truly exceeds all expectations.

A long driveway leads guests through a breathtaking panorama to a welcoming portico.

All bedrooms are extremely spacious and comfortably furnished. Some are actually suites and several open onto the veranda and the extraordinary vista beyond.

A Step Back in Time

The elegance and beauty of old Hawaii, with modern convenience added. The house is an amazing piece of history. We researched the family, and imagined what it would have been like to gather on the wide porch, or around the dining table 100 years ago. Plenty of space to spead out or spend time together. The views are amazing.

Relaxing and beautiful

Could not have asked for a better location to rest, relax, swim, enjoy cooking and eating together. Old school vacation - time together !! We had multiple cars which enabled everyone to explore according to their own timetable and interests. Was a good plan, as most activities were at least 15 mins away. Salt pond beach is a hidden gem for snorkeling.

Family Vacation first time to Kauai

Great place and location photos and description very accurate. Was a bit warm but house had multiple fans to use. Chicken loved waking us up in time to start our day. Pretty much a private beach to ourselves. Highly recommended and will stay again.

Once in a lifetime trip!

The most beautiful and best place to stay on the island. Many locals will let you know once they know you’re staying there that you are on a prized location. We caught fish from the bank every single day, the turtles fed in front of us every single day. You’ll sit on the porch every morning watching the surfers and you’ll find yourself taking surf lesson soon after. Such an amazing experience and opoa is the best to deal with. Can’t thank they’re family enough for everything!

Phenomenonal!

What a perfect spot! Best place we’ve ever rented. Loved the privacy and charm, and the grounds are absolutely beautiful. Great amenities, with plenty of room and options for each in our party to share time and space with options to retreat to solitude as desired. A REAL vacation! Ahhh…

Location, location, location!!!

This home was in such a beautiful location! We loved gathering for coffee on the front porch each morning and watching the surfers. In the evening, we enjoyed watching the geckos catching their dinner on the ceiling by the porch lights. There was more than enough room for the 6 of us. Bring your earplugs if you don’t like hearing the roosters, but that’s not just at this beautiful home, they’re everywhere on the island! The landscaping was beautifully done, but the home could really use a deep cleaning. There also is not air conditioning in this 100 year old home, but we didn’t miss it. Make sure to make reservations for the 5⭐️ restaurants several weeks prior to your arrival or you’ll be eating at 10:00 at night. All in all, this was a wonderful stay and I would highly recommend!

If you are looking for a place to rent you can stop searching now this is the absolute perfect vacation rental! The house and the property are absolutely perfect! There is so much space and privacy, the grounds, the beach, the house, and the porch are amazing! We had four couples staying here and we all had our own bedroom and bathroom with extra bedrooms and bathrooms. The house has everything you need to make you feel right at home. The front porch was our favorite hangout spot, we could sit there forever and just enjoy the views of the ocean and the mountains. The beach was very private and we enjoyed watching all the Surfers! The house had everything you could need on the beach also. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a place to stay in Kauai to stay in this rental, you will not be disappointed!

Terrific Old Plantation House

Beautiful property and amazing view of the ocean and surfers. Big private beach. Sitting on the big wrap around porch every morning and evening was priceless. House does get hot in the afternoons with no AC, so really have to open it up and turn on fans for evening. Overall great experience and lasting memory for our family.

Perfect relaxation

Perfect for our family- not into 'pampered & fancy' . Truly a special place for us, plenty of space for kids to just run around, adults to kick back and relax by hanging out on the porch ( with amazing view all day/night) or just wander to the beach. None of the 'crowd'. Prepared our own meals and just loved doing nothing.

This is the most amazing vacation home!

This house has a big WOW factor. The pictures can’t capture how gorgeous it is. We stayed here for one week in April with our extended family and it was a trip of a lifetime. The south shore is almost always sunny, and this house comes loaded with everything. There were boogie boards, chairs, snorkel gear, beach toys, umbrellas, the works. The rooms are huge! Gorgeous furniture, clean and high quality. I cannot recommend this house highly enough. I hope to come back again!!

I am not sure I can put into words our stay. I planned this family reunion with my four siblings to celebrate a big birthday for me.. They were all a little reluctant to join in but when I sent them the info on the location and the house they agreed to go. My sister and I had been to your place last year with my nephew Skip Cocci, so we knew what to expect.. I can safely say they were all very impressed and loved it... We had plans for everyone to come and go as they pleased, we ended up doing everything together and spent every night around the dinning room table and out on the porch.. telling stories of our youth.. I am the youngest so it was great to hear the older ones tell their stories.. I was 21 when we lost our mom and hearing stories of her being told around that big table reminded me of many days spent at my grandparents house... We all had a wonderful time and the house brought a peace to us all... I hope to come back again next year.. the beach, sun sets and the stars were amazing.... thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home...
