COVID-19 CLEANLINESS PRECAUTIONS LISTED AFTER THIS DESCRIPTION
Maluhia ma ka Honua means "Peace on Earth" which you will find in this beautiful house just a 40 second walk to the ocean and just four houses from famous Brennecke's Beach in Poipu Beach Park.
As you drive to Poipu you may wonder “Did I rent a good house?” As you arrive, your first thought will be “WOW! The ocean is really close!” As you turn onto Nalo Road the beautiful white Plumeria trees hide the house front 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! And this may be better than home!”
Take in the 14' high vaulted wood ceiling. Open the five sliding doors 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 are two more dining tables for four each and casual seating for six. Imagine sunrise coffee under the east lanai and sunset cocktails under the west lanai. See that there is plenty of lawn for the children to play on and chaise lounges for sunbathing when you don't feel like walking 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 Cal-King 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 lavs, 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 nearly identical upstairs master bedroom 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 and largest bedroom 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. All kitchen and bathroom needs, all laundry needs, linens, beach towels, beach chairs are provided. Previous guests may have left sand toys, boogie boards, and/or snorkeling gear.
Maluhia ma ka Honua is designed to offer an old Hawaiian beach experience with all the modern amenities and comfort with the nearby ocean as our swimming pool. Isn't this why you are coming to Poipu--for the weather, the beach, and the ocean?
Previous guests have loved this house and have had 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 floorplan 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 40 seconds 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 guestbooks.
This house is priced to give you a wonderful Kauai vacation at a good value. You deserve to stay in a really nice home and Maluhia ma ka Honua is nice enough that it would easily rent for $1000/night if it were one house closer to the ocean.
This house is fully licensed by the County of Kauai! (#TV3716)
COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS
We have always taken cleanliness very seriously and are now taking additional steps to protect our guests. We already use CDC and American Hotel & Lodging Assn cleaning products and procedures, but we now go to the next level.
"Clean Bed" -- All linens and bedspreads are washed during each change over.
"Turnovers" – For all new reservations we have at least 30 hours break in between guests to complete a proper clean.
"Sterilization and Disinfection" – We have new equipment and products emulating the major hotel cleaning processes.
"Keyless Entry" – Social distancing is likely going to be here for awhile so our property manager is giving up the “Front Desk” or “in-person” greeting which was a mainstay of true “Aloha” welcome. They will still have their Front Desk, but will no longer will require guests into come to the office to access their property.
"In Property Amenities" – We hope to include anti-bacterial wipes, hand sanitizer and other products.

Response from the owner Thank you for the kind words, Randy. Valorie and I try hard to help our guests have a great vacation. Please return often! We offer return guests a 5% discount for each return visit, up to 20% off the fifth and subsequent visits. Since we don't raise rents much, this becomes a great bargain! Buzz and Valorie Wisda
