Honu Awa
Enjoy an amazing retreat at Honu Awa, meaning Turtle Cove in Hawaiian. This upscale home sits on a dramatic bluff overlooking the north shore surf, a mesmerizing reef, and endless Pacific waters.
This stunning villa boasts three ocean-view bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. The fourth bedroom, just steps away from the pool, also has its own outdoor bathroom. Relax in the refined comfort of the open-concept floor plan, where the well-appointed kitchen flows into the dining room, which in turn flows into the living space. Each of the common areas has a bright and airy feel, with high ceilings and amazing ocean vistas.
Honu Awa's expansive lanais feature outdoor seating with incredible privacy and Pacific views, where you can sip your morning coffee or enjoy an open-air candle-lit dinner. The private courtyard contains a lovely lagoon-style pool, where you can relax in scenic tranquility. This Hawaiian haven is nestled into a quiet cul-de-sac, giving your family an ideal setting for a peaceful getaway.
Located in the Princeville area of north Kauai, this exceptional villa provides convenient access to renowned Hanalei Bay. The quaint bordering town of Hanalei also offers a variety of restaurant options, along with art galleries, boutiques, and surf shops. And whether you're looking for snorkeling, hiking, boating, stand-up paddling, or golf opportunities, you'll find them nearby on the north shore.
The home features split air conditioning systems in two bedrooms on the second level and one bedroom by the courtyard/pool area. The primary suite and living area feature central air conditioning.

Note About Seasonal Gnats
We want to ensure guests are aware that during the winter months in Hawaii, gnats are naturally more prevalent due to the tropical climate. These tiny insects are attracted to light and are especially common in lush, green areas like ours. While we take every measure to maintain the property, their presence is a natural part of the environment and beyond our control.
To minimize their impact during your stay:
Keep doors and windows closed as much as possible.
Ensure screens are securely in place. Please note, however, that some gnats are so small they may get through even the finest mesh screens.
We appreciate your understanding as you experience the natural beauty of Hawaii’s unique ecosystem.

This house is unbelievably awesome. We spent a week here and were so sad to leave. The views and location were as good as anywhere on the planet. The house is very nice, high quality everything. Cannot say enough things about this. I would not go to Kauai again and stay anywhere except here.
Thank you for your incredible review! We're thrilled to hear that you had an awesome stay at our house and enjoyed the breathtaking views and excellent location. Your kind words about the quality of the property mean a lot to us. We would be absolutely delighted to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience whenever you decide to visit Kauai again. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we can't wait to host you again in the future!
Honu Awa
by Millie AThe Princeville area is spectacular and Honu Awa’s location is superb. The views of the Pacific Ocean from every window on the back of the house are just breathtaking. The kitchen was extremely well equipped with high end cooking gear and appliances. Each of the 4 bedrooms had a bathroom. Plenty of space for all! Common living area with large screen TV was also a hit. Fantastic walking paths in neighborhood. Access to tremendous beaches nearby. Helpful and friendly property manager (Yen)! Highly recommend this property!
Paradise on Kauai
by Maryanne SThis fabulous home was perfect in every way for my husband and I along with our family to celebrate our son’s wedding. Yen, the property manager was very responsive to any questions I had.
Wonderful!
by Sascia HOur group of 8 (my husband and I, our four adult children, one son's girlfriend and one daughter´s boyfriend) spent ten nights at Honu Awa. This was our third visit to Kauai and Honu Awa was by far the most beautiful house we ever rented on the island. The views are spectacular and we loved the modern interior. Everything was spotless clean! The house has a great size for a group of 8 and is very well equipped. We didn't miss anything. Yen was by far the best host we ever had - and we have rented plenty of houses before. She would respond to my questions within minutes. One night we feared that we would run out of propane for the barbecue, so I texted Yen and asked if there was a spare propane bottle on the property. There wasn't - BUT - within MINUTES Yen had organized that Steve (her maintenance man) brought a spare one. There is absolutely NOTHING to complain about Honu Awa or Yen. We had the greatest vacation and would love to come back.
The view!
by Kelly SYen greeted us warmly when we arrived, walking us through the gorgeous house. There is a view from every room, even when you are doing the dishes. We loved our stay in this home. Our best vacation home experience yet.
Fantastic stay
by Carrie WThis house was incredibly gorgeous and impeccable. Yen was an amazing host. So attentive to us. Highly recommend this property.
Breathtaking!
by Shannon HOur family of 7 spent our best vacation ever in this beautiful home. It had everything we needed for our week long stay. The views for amazing & the pool was an added bonus for when we came home at night. Yen was super sweet & informative with everything we needed to know about our stay. Highly recommend this vacation home.
April 2022 stay
by Teizu WWe are a family of 6. The property is spacious, well decorated and appointed. It is well stocked. The kitchen has high end appliances and was a pleasure to prepare our meals there. The views are amazing. It is a lovely and quiet neighborhood. Many nice shops and restaurants within a 5 minutes drive. We paid the daily fee to have the pool heated. It wasn’t working and on the 3rd full day of our stay the pool man came by and fixed it. Thereafter we enjoyed the pool immensely. My family enjoyed our time in Kauai and the property was certainly a factor.
Upscale Oceanfront Home w/Pool, A/C, & Cliffside Views
by Lance FWe had a family vacation with our three married children and picked this house based on the 4 bedrooms and the pool and balcony views. The house did not disappoint. The house is well stocked with all of the appliances and things you need. We appreciated all of the beach towels and the quality of the bathroom towels. If you plan on staying in the Princeville area, this house is perfect. We had access to a beach which was a short hike down the hill plus all of the great beaches on the north side of the island. Also, the Food Land grocery store is very close. Finally, Yen with the management company was very available although we did not need her very often. I highly recommend this house for your Kauai vacation.
Mahalo Yen for taking care of us like family and Elite Pacific for sharing this beautiful property!
by Kim HThis beautiful home has been renovated with very modern and top-of-the-line equipment throughout the house including furniture and appliances. With a pool on one side of the house and a Cliffside with ocean on the other side, there really isn’t reason to leave this house. However the location is so central to the beautiful mountains and beaches and food trucks, that everything including groceries is right by. Yen was such a gracious host and made us feel like we were home! Just needed more time is my only regret! Mahalo Yen for taking care of us like family and Elite Pacific for sharing this beautiful property!
Amazing
by Stephanie RWe loved staying at this property. Great location and beautiful house. Exceeded our expectations!
What a gorgeous and user-friendly home! And, Yen was the perfect host! We had a perfect vacation! Thank you. See you another time, for sure!
Princeville Paradise Found
by Inge BThis rental home was all that we expected and more for our first post-COVID family vacation! The pictures truly do not do it justice. Yen was the most gracious property manager/hostess. We arrived to find a lovely fruit and snack basket waiting with a delicious bottle of Hawaiian rum included. Set in a quiet Princeville neighborhood above Sea Lodge Beach with AC in every room, the views are stunning, each morning and evening providing a more spectacular sunrise and sunset than the day before. Four large bedrooms, all with comfortable King sized beds and ensuite bathrooms, plus another half bath off of kitchen/dining area, made this the perfect spot to spread out and relax - waking up and falling asleep to the sound of the crashing surf below. Yen and her team arranged an in-home massage appointment and offered recommendations and concierge service for other local activities. The pool was great for the kids and adults alike. Plenty of pool and beach toys and towels were available for our use. We will be forever spoiled by this amazing Kauai experience and while a bit pricey, it was worth the splurge. Mahalo Yen!
Beautiful! Beyond our expectations!
by Jamie JThis property was absolutely amazing and was perfect for our family of six on our first vacation since before Covid! Yen, our host, was incredibly helpful and Shante, our conceirge, was just fantastic! I cannot say enough about this home other than we will be back!
