Poipu Beachfront | Ocean Views | Pickleball

Welcome 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.



WE'RE HERE TO HELP

This is our family's home away from home. We were married on Shipwreck Beach and have been bringing our kids to Poipu for years. We're an Airbnb Superhost and Guest Favorite, and we love sharing restaurant picks and local gems. Message us with any questions about dates or the island. We'd love to host you!



KITCHEN & COMFORTS

The fully equipped kitchen has everything for home-cooked meals, including a stove, oven, toaster, dishwasher, microwave, blender, rice maker, coffee maker, and pantry basics. Mini-split AC and ceiling fans keep every room comfortable, and the in-unit washer and dryer make it easy to pack light. Wi-Fi and a smart TV with cable are there for a quiet night in, plus a few books for lanai reading.



TRAVELING WITH LITTLE ONES

We remember how much we appreciated vacation rentals that were ready for little ones when our kids were small, so the condo has a high chair, a pack and play, a baby gate, children's dishes, toys, and room-darkening shades for naps. Little swimmers love Baby Beach at Poipu Beach, with calm, very shallow, sandy water, plus the waterfall wading pool at the main Poipu Kai pool area and the Poipu Beach Athletic Club pool, which has a sandy beach entrance and a little water slide.
