September Notice: The Manualoha oceanfront pool adjacent to our building will be closed September 14–28, 2026 for repairs. The main Poipu Kai resort pool and hot tub, just a short walk away, will remain open, as will the pool at the Poipu Beach Athletic Club.

Welcome to Honu He'e Nalu, The Surfing Turtle!

This is our family's personal vacation home, and we pour a lot of love into it. We were married on Shipwreck Beach and have been bringing our kids to Poipu for years. It holds a very special place in our hearts. We want you to feel that the moment you walk in.

Step into your own beachfront sanctuary in the heart of Poipu, Kauai. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping, unobstructed ocean and mountain views, your backdrop from the moment you wake up. Just a 2.5-minute walk from the front door, Brennecke's Beach awaits for boogie boarding, where you can watch the honu literally surfing in the waves alongside you. Poipu Beach, one of Kauai's best snorkeling spots, is just another 2 minutes down the sand.

At sunset, the views from Poipu Beach are absolutely spectacular, whether you're watching from the sand or from your own private lanai. As the sun goes down, the honu swim ashore to sleep for the night, and monk seals can frequently be spotted snoozing in the sun on the beach. It's one of those magical Kauai moments guests never forget.

Relax in our beautifully remodeled, light-filled boho-luxury interior with mini-split AC in all rooms to keep you perfectly cool. Two resort-style pools are steps away, including the exclusive Manualoha oceanfront pool, along with a hot tub, waterfall wading pool, and tennis and pickleball courts. The Poipu Beach Athletic Club, just a short drive away, offers a restaurant, bar, pool, and full fitness equipment.

We also love helping our guests make the most of their time on the island, from local restaurant picks to hidden gems we've discovered over years of family trips here.

We're an Airbnb Superhost and Guest Favorite. We take great care of our guests and our home. Summer dates are still available. We'd love to host you!
