Hoona Beach House - The Best Oceanfront Paradise in Kauai

*****To avoid the credit card processing fee, please contact our office atfor alternative forms of payment*****

Escape to The Hoona Beach House on the beautiful sunny south shore of Kaua'i. The Beach House is an ocean-front home, sitting literally 30 feet from the water's edge with 210-degree ocean views. You can hear the crashing waves from every room of this impeccable 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home. The lanai/deck stretches out from the rear of the house, giving you a perfect spot to watch the local surfers catch the massive breaking waves on the outside reef, enjoy the breathtaking sunset each evening, or watch the playful sea turtles at the water’s edge. At night, your reality will seamlessly become a dream with the sound of the waves just outside.

The Hoona Beach House is a spotlessly clean, open style single-story Hawaiian floorplan, with glass walls across the back. The property features a front-row ocean view from almost everywhere inside this 3-bedroom, 3-bath home. It is completely private with tropical surroundings, sitting on the shore of a tranquil cove with lava rock and coral reefs on both sides, giving you an unobstructed ocean view and privacy from neighbors.

In 2021 a major renovation and re-build of the Hoona Beach House was completed. Everything inside and out is modernized and brand new (from windows, doors, roof, cabinetry, appliances, fixtures, flooring, to even the furniture, etc.). The 1800 square foot home features an enormous, open living-dining area, a fully stocked gourmet kitchen with a large pantry, and inside laundry facilities. A California king bed is in the master bedroom. The second and third bedrooms both offer queen sized beds. All baths have Caesarstone counter tops, and top of the line European designed fixtures. One-piece Toto toilets are in all three baths All linens and towels are provided, including plenty of large beach towels.

The Hoona Beach House is a custom designed tropical retreat. The interior has glass walls that open wide to the large lanai, where waves lap the reef only steps away. A gas barbecue is outside on the deck, for casual cooking. Ceiling fans are in each room, to enhance the cool, scented breeze of the trade winds. And, when you return from the beach, or if you just want to cool off, an outdoor, hot/cold shower is in a private corner of the rear yard under tall coconut trees, overlooking the sparkling ocean and reef. After your stay, you will cherish the memories of your visit for a lifetime.

Better than our first stay

Once again we have a super time at Tom's Beach House! The house is very clean and neat as a pin. This ocean location is unobstructed and watching each sunset is pure pleasure. We had more turtles feeding close up right in front of the house than at Spouting Horn! This was our second stay and are already thinking about our next stay. Thanks again Tom.

The Beach House, Poipu, Kaua'i

I have visited the Hawaiian islands over 70 times and there is absolutely nowhere I would stay on Kaua'i other than this wonderful house. It's the sound of the waves when going to bed, the ambiance, the really top quality configuration of the house and the outside deck for breakfast and watching the surfers. I cannot recommend it highly enough - it is a M U S T. Paula Hammack

Great Experience

This is a great house to rent. It's in a great location and has an unbelievable view. You can't get any closer to the water than this house. The house has a great layout, it was very clean and very well maintained. Tom described the house very accurately and he is a great guy that is very easy to work with. We recommend this house and would stay here again. Thanks for sharing your home Tom.

Beautiful Property!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tom's home. It is indeed a home, so come expecting to find it clean and comfortable and ready to enjoy. Tom is meticulous in the care of his home and we urge anyone staying there to do the same. We treated it as our own home and had a wonderful time. The location is perfect, the view is gorgeous (beautiful sunsets), lots of food and activities available nearby. Thanks Tom for providing such a great spot to relax and enjoy Kauai. You're a great host!

Great Beach House

This is a great property. It provides a fabulous view, is well maintained and reflects the owner's attention to detail. Sea turtles feeding in the morning, whales on the horizon, incredible sunsets and a deck that provides more than a 180 degree vista are among the key components of the house. Tom clearly wants his visitors to enjoy the island and the property and is a very responsive owner. Having stayed at a number of VRBO and Airbnb properties, we would give this one our highest ranking.

Poipu Paradise

Our family had a wonderful stay at Tom's beach house in Poipu! The home is in an absolute perfect location walking distance to beach, restaurants, and shopping yet nestled on a quaint residential street. The comfortable, open layout and large glass doors revealing beautiful ocean views made it hard to leave the house for daily excursions. We were certain to return home to the lanai in time to see the breathtaking sunsets in the evenings. Our family of 5 slept great in the comfortable beds, hearing the waves break and birds singing.

Amazing home and location!

We stayed in The Beach House Kauai for a week with our friends (4 adults total) last month. The home is immaculate and was a wonderful and peaceful place to call home during our stay in Kauai. The location is perfect as it is only a 10 minute walk to many shops and restaurants. This was our 8th trip to Kauai over the past 27 years. The Beach House Kauai was the best place we have stayed in all of those years - best location, best accommodations, etc... We HIGHLY RECOMMEND The Beach House and want to give a big thanks to Tom for his hospitality and for being a fantastic VRBO owner who is providing a great house to his guests.

Beautiful "Peace" of Paradise

We enjoyed the Beach House very much. The house is top of the line, immaculate, and a great view. Our only wish was that we could stay longer. We were there during the Kona Winds (we heard called) so the cove next to the house was out of our league for swimming and snorkeling but there is a great beach walking distant as well as restaurants and shops. (quick drive). The owner Tom is great to work with. Thank you Tom!

Perfect vacation home in paradise

We loved Tom's beach house! We were traveling with another couple and the setup of a home rather than a hotel room was perfect for us. As has been said repeatedly, the location couldn't be better. The view is fabulous, the sound of the waves is wonderful, and the proximity to an abundance of restaurants, stores and beaches is great. We easily found everything we needed at the beach house - and more. Everything is in top-notch condition. I really can't say enough good things about the place and Tom was a pleasure to deal with. I look forward to returning some day!

A Beach House to Remember!

The Beach House was amazing! It truly lived up the pictures and description in the vrbo listing! The house has a fabulous location over looking the beach in a quiet neighborhood. But...just within a few blocks are nice beaches, a great restaurant, a golf course, and wonderful walking/running paths. Less than a mile a way is an inviting shopping area with a specialty market, restaurants, and beachy shopping. The house was immaculate, freshly decorated, and had all the necessary amenities. The owner, Tom, was helpful and professional. A true gem!

Wonderful experience!

Tom, We just want to thank you for allowing us to use your beautiful beach home in Kauai. We stayed in luxurious resort hotels both at the beginning and end of our trip, but I think we all enjoyed the beauty and tranquility of your home the most. Kauai is an incredible island. We all enjoyed relaxing on the lanai, walking out to the cove to snorkel, and watching the turtles. We had our privacy, yet the proximity to restaurants, etc. was perfect. This trip will always be very special to our family, and your home will very much be part of that memory. Thanks again. July 2010

Wonderful spot for the right price

Tom did a superb job of making us feel at home in the most beautiful spot(his home). We snorkeled daily right out the side of the property(next to the turtles) and had easy walks to shopping/restaurants. As you can see you are right at the oceans edge and we watched sea turtles and even one Monk Seal swam around in front of the property one day. It was perfect for our family of five(three adult children) as the three bedrooms are plenty separate. His photo album says it all. Thanks so much.

Absolute heaven

Our stay at the Beach House on Kauai was absolutely perfect--the house is sparkling clean, and the location could not be better. We snorkeled with the turtles that come every afternoon to the reef right off the patio--it was a highlight of our trip! The best Poipu beaches were close by, and the proximity to fantastic restaurants (the Beach House restaurant for a classic Kauai dinner and sunset, Josselin's for the most amazing tapas, Merriman's for brilliant fresh fish) made this a great vacation home. Tom is a charming host, and takes great pride in this gorgeous home. He ensured we had everything we needed to enjoy not only the house, but the nearby beaches and restaurants. We truly felt treated like family!

Great Home, Great Landlord

We had the privilege to stay in Tom's home for six weeks. The house is lovely, not too large...but more than ample room. The location is perfect, a private lane on water's edge, walk to the shopping center, walk to restaurants. Tom is a terrific host! There if you need anything, but not overbearing. He has become a good friend! If you value peace, privacy and want to experience the serenity of the ocean at your door, this is the pace for you! Mahalo, Tom.

One of a kind in Poipu Kauai

My wife and I stayed with another couple and it could not of worked out better. We had our rooms at either end and then shared the kitchen and living area. We were there for 10 days and enjoyed 180 degree view of the ocean straight ahead we watched the wales and then off to the right the surfers. In the evening we enjoyed our dinners watching the sun set from the deck over the water. For shopping we could drive or hike up to the local shopping that satisfied all our wants. We had a choice of incredible golf courses and hiking trails and beaches. The accomodation and management exceeded our expectations and we would certainly stay again.

Excellent Location

Yes, we too very much enjoyed our stay at Tom's single story, waterfront home. Kitchen, baths, bedrooms all very nice quality and and will not disappoint, very clean. Secluded swimming cove steps away, sunset view from lanai is superb and easy evening stroll to restaurant. Breaching whales, lazy turtles, and colorful Moorish Idol fish, all viewed from the property. You can even see Spouting Horn from the lanai. Off street parking under covered breezeway is wonderful, no blistering hot car to return too. Very easy owner to deal with. Still recalling barbequing on the lanai as the sun was setting - great memories. Already considering our next return.

Paradise

Although we thoroughly read through reviews of Tom's place and had very high expectations, it was still an unbelievable sight when we stepped out of our cars onto his property. The ocean crashing, sea turtles swimming, surfers catching waves, and boats sailing by were all in the backyard! The over 120 feet of oceanfront property kept us outside the entire vacation. When we finally had to sleep, we went inside to only hear the ocean's waves crashing all around us. The inside was beautiful as well, but honestly, we lived outside the entire 4 days we were there. We truly hope to return soon with our grown family.

Paradise!

My husband and I decided to go to Kauai for our 25th anniversary. I searched for months for a place to stay on the ocean and found the Beach House.I sent an email and Tom responded within 15 minutes. We made the decision to stay at the Beach House and it was paradise! The house is beautiful, and the ocean is incredible. We went to sleep every night listening to the waves. The sea turtles visited us every night. The house is conveniently located on the south side, and easy access to shopping, beaches and restaurants. We had so much fun snorkeling. We loved sitting on the lanai just watching and listening to the ocean. Wish we could have stayed longer, hopefully we can come back soon.

The Beach House in Poipu

The view from this house was outstanding! We enjoyed watching the goergeous sunsets from the back yard. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was very relaxing. The house was extremely clean, well maintained and comfortable. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner of the property. It was evident he cared deeply about his house. He even took the time to cut down a coconut from his tree for us to enjoy for breakfast. The fresh fruit basket in the kitchen was also a pleasant suprise. We would definately recommend this property to other people vacationing in the area. Poipu is a beautiful town with a lot to do. We had dinner at The Dolphin restaurant. The food was fantastic. We're looking forward to staying at this house during our next vacation to Kauai.

A jewel of a beach house is The Beach House

This house is ideally situated in Poipu. The photos speak truly of the amazing views and privacy of this house. What you can't get in the photos is the wonderful sound of the surf and the trade winds. The house is very well appointed, has everything you might need to enjoy a fabulous vacation. Our family had the best time and enjoyed every moment in Tom's house. He takes such pride in and wants you to enjoy the wonderfulness of his home. You can walk to great beaches and the access is easy to the rest of the Island. But be warned, don't plan on doing too many activities away from the house. You just won't want to! We spent a lot of time just sitting on the Lanai, enjoying the sea turtles and surf. It is one of the most idyllic and beautiful spots imaginable.
