About this house rental

Maluhia ma ka Honua is Hawaiian for "Peace on Earth" and that is what you will find in this beautiful house located just a 40 second walk to the ocean and just four houses from the famous Brennecke's Beach in Poipu Beach Park.

The question everyone asks themselves as they leave the airport and drive to Poipu is “Did I rent a good house?” Just before you arrive at our house, your first thought will be “WOW! THE OCEAN IS REALLY CLOSE!” As you turn up Nalo Road you can't really see the house well because the beautiful white Plumeria trees are in bloom, and they hide the house a bit. Open the front door, remove your shoes, step into the entry, and then it hits you "WOW! This house is big and gorgeous and well furnished!" Then it really hits you, “This may be better than home!”

You immediately stare at the 14' high vaulted wood ceiling, then you open the five sliding doors into this great room, and it is almost like living outdoors as the cooling trade winds that make Kauai so special waft through the room from three sides and the three ceiling fans cool the room further. In this great room there is a fully equipped modern kitchen, a casual eating bar for four, a glass oval dining table for eight under a beautiful chandelier, a game table for two, and entertainment seating for seven! Outside under the 1300 sq. ft. covered lanai two more dining tables with four chairs each and casual seating for six. Imagine sunrise coffee under the east lanai and sunset cocktails under the west lanai. On the large rear lawn, imagine your children playing or sunbathing on the chaise lounges if you don't feel like walking the few steps to the beach.

Each bedroom has three-sided ventilation and a ceiling fan that normally keeps the bedroom so cool that blankets are needed for sleeping. The spacious downstairs master bedroom suite has a king-size pillow top bed and oversized bamboo bedroom furniture with a television, a large walk-in closet, and two glass sliding doors leading to the covered lanai and the lawn. Its private bathroom has two lavatories, an oversized glass block and tile shower, a two-person Jacuzzi tub, and a separate toilet compartment. The heated outdoor shower is just outside this bathroom.

The equally large upstairs master bedroom is almost identical to the one downstairs except this one has a vaulted wood ceiling and a nice ocean view balcony. Over the bed is an original oil painting of Hawaii by famed artist Ezra Muir. The bathroom is identical to the downstairs bathroom except it has a two-person soaking tub.

The third bedroom is the largest bedroom and has a great ocean view. It has two twin beds that can be converted to a king bed, a vaulted wood ceiling and rattan furniture. Its bathroom has one lavatory, a toilet and a tub/shower.

The fourth bathroom is the powder room downstairs complete with a tiled shower. The laundry room features a washer, dryer, and a soaking sink.

This house is equipped with everything you need. All kitchen and bathroom needs, all laundry needs, linens, beach towels, beach chairs are provided. You might even find previous guests have left sand toys, boogie boards, and/or snorkeling gear.

Come to Poipu and experience a true Hawaiian beach experience! Like the Hawaiians, come to the beach, gather at the sand, and spend hours 'talking story'. Use the sparkling blue Pacific Ocean as your swimming pool. Laugh and enjoy the weather and life. Maluhia ma ka Honua was designed to offer an old Hawaiian beach experience with all the modern amenities and comfort and with the ocean as our swimming pool because it is so close to the house. Isn't this why you are coming to Poipu, for the weather, the beach, and the ocean?

Previous guests have responded by loving this house and having some of the best family vacations of their lives. Maybe it is the Aloha that resides within the house because of the blessings during construction. Or maybe it is the floor plan that has plenty of private places for two or more people to sit and 'talk story' like the Hawaiians. Or maybe it is the location, just a 40 second walk to the ocean and two minutes stroll to swimming and sunning at Brennecke's Beach in Poipu Beach Park. Whatever the reason, they have left behind hundreds of warm comments in our guestbook, and you can see every one of them by clicking on our 'Guest Comments' section.

'Maluhia ma ka Honua' (Peace on Earth) is a private, luxurious Kauai rental vacation home located just steps to the oceanfront at Poipu Beach Park on the south shore of Kauai. It is a great home for family vacations or for very private Kauai honeymoons after a romantic Hawaiian wedding. 'Maluhia ma ka Honua' was built in 1998 and it has been rented by over a thousand families since then. It is a luxurious 2650 square foot beach house designed with the feel of an original plantation and detailed, decorated, and appointed to perfection. Beneath a vaulted, fan-cooled ceiling, the large, modern kitchen and the huge great room open to the surrounding 1300 square foot covered lanai. Three spacious bedrooms each have a large, private bathroom, and every room is cross ventilated for comfort.

Two wonderful casual restaurants are within 5 minutes’ walking distance and at least 20 others are within a mile. Two resorts with Robert Trent Jones golf courses are within one mile.

This house is 'value priced' to give you a first-class Kauai vacation at an affordable cost. You will spend so much time and money just getting to Kauai, and the rental cars and meals can be expensive. You deserve to stay in a really nice home and Maluhia ma ka Honua is nice enough that it would easily rent for $800/night if it were one house closer to the ocean. So come and take advantage of this great value and enjoy this spectacular house.

FAQ:
1. Why don't we have A/C. A/C is needed by the boxy small houses and condos that don't have adequate cross ventilation to catch the cooling trade winds. Our property manager tells us we can charge $100 more per night with A/C, but the house really doesn't need it except for a few Kona Wind days.
2. Why don't we have a pool? We have room for a pool, but that would also raise the rent by about $100/night. Since we have the sparkling blue Pacific Ocean at our doorstep, we thought people would rather have an affordable first-class vacation and experience the uniqueness of Kauai instead of paying for something they can get anywhere.
3. Are you sustainable? We offer refillable soap and shampoo, reusable cleaning cloths, a reusable shopping tote, a recycling bin, LED bulbs and energy efficient appliances. You can walk to almost everything in Poipu.
4. How close is the nearest neighbor? About 50 feet on the west and north sides. About 100 feet on the east and south sides.
5. What changes have you made to deal with Covid? We offer a contactless, soothing, first-class experience. We clean the house to a higher standard than suggested by the CDC.
6. Why is your cancellation policy so strict? People make plans to come to Kauai many months in advance and very few visit Kauai "spur of the moment". So, when we get a cancellation even 60 days in advance, we have trouble filling the void and we cannot afford it, particularly after having an empty house for most of 2020 during the height of Covid.

COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS

We have always taken cleanliness very seriously and are now taking additional steps to improve our processes and procedures to help protect our guests and team. Since we already use CDC and American Hotel & Lodging Association products and procedures to clean our properties, we looked to go to the next level.

"Clean Bed" -- All linens and bedspreads are washed in accordance with CDC guidelines during each change over.

"Sterilization and Disinfection" – Our property manager has purchased new equipment and products and is emulating the major hotel companies’ cleaning processes.

The house was plenty large for the six of us. The ground and the lanai were awesome. The house was super close to the ocean, great beaches, restaurants and shopping were close also. The kitchen was well stocked, and plenty of towels and linens. We will definitely return.

The house was perfect for the four of us. Plenty of room to not feel right on top of each other. The house was very clean. The kitchen was perfect and provided everything you would need to cook a meal. I can't say enough about how great the location is. You are steps away from the ocean/beach. It is a nice area, and you feel safe walking at night. You can hear the ocean waves with the windows open in the house. There are many shops and activities close by.

We loved the house and property and it was so close to Brennecke & Poipu beaches. The lanai was our favorite part of every night where we’d relax after dinner with drinks and music. The owner sent recommendations for the area which were very helpful. If you’re staying in Poipu, we’d highly recommend this property!

My family and I rented this home for 7 days & loved it soo much we extended our stay! The house is beautiful inside and out. The listing mentions there isn't AC and to be honest, we really didn't miss it. Plenty of room for 6 of us to gather together for morning coffee and drinks in the evenings. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of extra blankets and pillows in each room. The house is in a great location, we walked right down to the beach every morning. We were there a week ago and there was construction going on directly across the street. We are all early risers so we didn't make too much of it. The kitchen was very well equipped, we cooked daily! This stay was wonderful and we would definitely stay here again! Communication with the owner was seamless... Thank you Buzz, we had a great stay!

We've stayed in Buzz's house twice now and we really love it. It's a very well designed house, which is comfortable for 6 people with plenty of room for all. One important note, the property (literally) directly across the street just started a major construction project. Monday through Friday we had noisy earth moving equipment, large loud trucks and many workers. Based off the lot size and equipment, it looks likely to be a large house or small apartment building, but it currently is a flat lot with green construction fencing around it. Knowing a bit about construction I would estimate this project will continue for a minimum of 12 to as much as 24 months. There's a lot of noise and dust, which we would have liked to know in advance. Still it's a great area, but for the price, you kind of expect peace and quiet.
