Honu Hale Kai is a warm and elegant home base for your family vacation
adventure. This home sits upon an oceanfront property (one house back)
with a white sand swimming beach only 80 steps away. Ocean views can
be seen from this home.
This vacation home is two stories. The upstairs unit is the main living
room with its own fully equipped kitchen with washer & dryer. The
master bedroom offers a teakwood queen size poster bed with a Tempur-pedic®
mattress. Enjoy your own private spa tub and separate walk-in shower.
A small covered lanai is a welcome area for those who smoke or just
want to enjoy their first cup of coffee before others awake. (No smoking
inside unit please.)
Downstairs (lock-off capabilities) is great for a second family joining
you, or for the kids. One bedroom has a queen size bed and the other
has two single beds. This level has its own living room with a TV, DVD
& CD, and radio together with a small kitchenette equipped with
microwave, hot plate, mini refrigerator, rice cooker, toaster, blender
and kitchenware.
Enjoy kayaking, swimming, surfing, diving, snorkeling, windsurfing,
kite surfing, and fishing. All activities are within steps of your door. For those
less active, take a long walk along the beautiful scenic Oceanside walkway
along Kauai's eastern coconut coast. The paved walkway is a way for
wheelchair assisted visitors to enjoy the scenery and for those with
babies, it is a perfect stroll to soothe any child. We suggest early
morning walks to capture the awesome sunrises that the coconut coast
is known for. Be sure to take along your camera to capture the moment.
The majority of the walking path is paved for a smooth ride. For those
more adventurous, an extended pathway continues along an old abandoned
cane-hauling road, all along the ocean's edge.
This home is located within Kauai's historical walking town of Kapaa.
Our guests can walk to fine dining as well as casual restaurants. Visit
quaint unique gift shops, island art galleries, local handcrafters,
and merchants. Also, one will find fine jewelers and popular espresso
bars with internet access. This town boasts of more than 15 different
eateries that you can walk to and enjoy a variety of menus, for those
who don't want to cook.
For those who like to dine at home, a complete kitchen package is available
with service for 8 guests.
The town of Kapaa is centrally located on the coconut coast (east side)
of the island, only 20 minutes from Lihue Airport. It is a beautiful
30 minute drive to majestic Hanalei Bay on the north shore and yet only
45 minutes to popular Poipu Beach on the south shore.
View Opaekaa Falls or take a boat ride up the Wailua River to the famous
Fern Grotto. Water skiing, kayaking and canoe paddling are popular visitor
activities and another way to enjoy the only navigable river in the
state of Hawaii. It is only a short eight minute drive from your vacation
home. For the children, enjoy the local favorite, Lydgate Park where
the keiki's will enjoy a labyrinth of slides, ladders, walking decks
and fun activities for every age. This is known as Kamalani Bridge,
built and created by the local community of Kauai for all children to
enjoy.
Lydgate also features a baby pond and an adult safe swimming area circled
by a reef structure to protect those who fear swimming in the open ocean.
Lots of white sand beaches, picnic areas and restroom facilities are
located throughout Lydgate Park.
Kapaa Town also has a public sport park featuring a basketball court,
baseball field, tennis courts and a small skateboard park all located
a short walk away.
Bicycle rentals are available in town as well as surfboard, boogie board
and kayak rentals. Scenic horseback riding is located only a short distance
from home. For those who like to hike, climb the gentle slopes of the
famous Sleeping Giant Mountain Range only a few minutes away.
The fisherman in the family can always 'talk story' with the locals
at the nearby mini boat harbor where charter fishing boats are often
setting sail for fresh Ahi, Ono, and Mahi-Mahi. Fresh fish on the BBQ
is always a must while enjoying the ambiance of the island.
Plan a family cook-out on property with a private BBQ, picnic tables,
and night lighting.
Enjoy the Coconut Market Place which is a small shopping center only
one mile away, with fine shops, eateries, and a full screen movie theater.
This is a great place for souvenir shopping and to watch an afternoon
hula show for free.
Honu Hale Kai is brand new, fresh, and awaiting your arrival. Warm aloha
will be extended to all that enter through its doors.
E Komo Mai....Welcome.
