About this apartment rental
Message us before booking Oct 18 to 22, 2026 and we will take 20% off those nights. The master shower is out of order during that stay, but the second bathroom shower works great.
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!
CURRENT NOTES
• Special rate for Oct 18 to 22, 2026: these 4 nights are heavily discounted because the master bathroom shower is out of order. The second bathroom has a full working shower for you to use. Everything else in the condo is ready to enjoy. Message us about these dates.
• Special fall rates for stays completed by November 15, 2026. Message us about your dates.

Jeff and Kimberly made every effort to make our stay perfect. The location is perfect. Amenities are perfect. Host responsiveness is perfect. You will not find a better vrbo experience on the island.

The Surfing Turtle is a beautiful home and truly made our beach vacation exceptional! We especially appreciated having A/C at night — while it does cool off naturally, the added comfort was a nice touch. The house was thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for a full day at the beach — chairs, umbrellas, toys, and more. It made heading out so easy and enjoyable!
The location is perfect — just a short, easy walk to great restaurants and shopping. Jeff and Kimberly were incredibly kind and responsive throughout our stay, which made the whole experience even better.
Highly recommend this gem of a spot — we’d love to return!

Jeff & Kimberly’s home was unlike any VRBO we’ve stayed in. The home was immaculate, location unbeatable, quiet neighborhood, and easy communication with the 2 of them. It was ann easy stay with our 2 young kids. The extra amenities provided in the home made the stay extra comfortable and easy. This was one of our favorite homes we’ve ever stayed in!
