Absolutely amazing

We loved our stay. The garden surroundings were out of this world! I could go on and on about this topic alone… Toni and Samson made us feel so welcome. The tiki hut was spotless, and appointed with touches that made it feel like we were in a home rather than a rental. The location is perfect for a beach holiday, just 5-10 mins walk down a path to one of the best beaches on Kauai.

A Must-See VRBO!

Overall, I rate everything a 10. Toni was absolutely the best host I have encountered at a VRBO. She wanted to make sure your stay was comfortable and that you had everything you needed for a perfect getaway. The location is safe, secure, beautiful, quiet and felt like you were living in a manicured jungle.

hideaway tucked away in a little piece of paradise

The Tiki Hut is in an amazing location just a short walk away from (in our opinion) one of the best beaches in kauai. Though it is a drive to get to stores and restaurants, the privacy and seclusion you get it worth it. Toni was a wonderful host and made us feel most welcome as did Sampson her amazing dog. The garden surrounding the tiki hut is truly amazing and provided us hours of lizard and bird watching from the two porches.

When the place you stay becomes the highlight of the trip.

Two weary travelers arrived at the Tiki hut to be greeted by a basket of local goodies and a chilled bottle of wine in the refrigerator. We knew we were in the right place. We loved our stay at the tiki hut, with morning breakfasts on the back porch, enjoying a visit from Samson, a friendly black lab and the official greeter. Evenings were spent relaxing in the hot tub with a glass of wine after a day of touring Kauai. Toni has created a beautiful, relaxing oasis with comfortable bedding and everything you need for a day at the beach, in a spectacular setting. A quick walk takes you to tunnels Beach with spectacular views, and great snorkeling. We will be back.

The Best!

Our stay at the Tiki Hut was the best vacation! Toni was a great hostess and her place is unbelievably comfortable and beautiful. She had all the beach equipment we needed, plus a fully equipped kitchen. Tunnels beach can’t be beat: scenery, snorkeling, swimming! Thanks,Toni, for sharing your place.

The Tiki Hut sits in a stunningly beautiful and peaceful garden. A short walk to the beach. We went swimming there every day. Quiet and secluded location but a short drive into Hanalei.

Amazing stay!

There are no words to describe our week in the Tiki Hut. Paradise, the perfect location. A short walk to a beautiful spot on the point to watch sunsets. Walk a bit further and you’re right on Tunnel’s looking up at Mount Makana. Toni was most welcoming and we made fast friends with Samson. The garden is immaculate, so thoughtfully planned out and well taken care of. A true labor of love. Thanks so much for our week in paradise.

Heavenly!

Toni's Tiki Hut is absolute bliss. My husband and I enjoyed every minute of our visit. I am a gardener, so Toni's exquisite tropical garden is an absolute joy. The location is also perfect for exploring the lush North Shore mountains and gorgeous beaches. Toni's malama (loving care) makes the Tiki Hut a true paradise. We are looking forward to returning.

True aloha spirit

We can't say enough good things about our 8 night stay at the tiki hut. Much thought and love we're put into making this place a truly special retreat. The pictures in the listing actually don't do it justice, the place was even more beautiful in person. Toni and Sampson welcomed us with true aloha spirit and we were so sad when it was time to leave. We will definitely be back to visit!
