Maluhia ma ka Honua means "Peace on Earth" and that is what you will find in this beautiful three bedroom/four bathroom house located just a 40 second walk to the ocean and just four houses from famous Brennecke's Beach in Poipu Beach Park. COVID-19 CLEANLINESS PRECAUTIONS are listed at the end of this description. Maluhia ma ka Honua means "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 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 Maluhia ma ka Honua, 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 front a bit. You 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 is better than home!” Like most people, 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 for four each and casual seating for six. Maybe you start to imagine sunrise coffee under the east lanai and sunset cocktails under the west lanai. Or maybe you 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 the few steps to the beach. Each bedroom brings new delights and 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 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 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. 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 up 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. Three wonderful restaurants are within walking distance and at least nine others are nearby. Two resorts with Robert Trent Jones golf courses are within one mile. This house is 'value priced' to give you a wonderful Kauai vacation and give you good value. 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 $700/night if it were one house closer to the ocean. So come and take advantage of this great value and enjoy this spectacular house. 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 use CDC and American Hotel & Lodging Association products and procedures to clean our properties. All linens and bedspreads are washed during each change over. Our property manager has purchased new equipment and products and is emulating the major hotel companies cleaning processes. 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 Desks, but will no longer will require guests to come to the office to access their property. Door code and keys are picked up from the property manager located about two miles from the houses. Guests have access to the whole house except the owner's closet in the garage and the office with an outside entrance. This house is professionally managed by The Parrish Collection, located about two miles from the house. They are available 24/7 to handle any issues or provide suggestions. Valorie and I live mostly in Scottsdale, Arizona and spend two to three months in Poipu. We may be available on your visit, but our view is this house becomes your house and this is your vacation, so we try very hard not to bother you. We can be reached by email or text, and we have a property manager located in Koloa to answer any immediate or urgent questions. Driving to Poipu, people always wonder “Did I rent a good house?” Drive just 200 feet from the ocean to reach Maluhia ma ka Honua. Your first thought will be “WOW! The ocean is really close!” The best place to park your car is on the street right in front of the front door. Walk up the meandering walk to the front porch, remove your shoes and step into the entry of this Hawaiian plantation style home and you immediately begin to see the great decorating and furnishings. Poipu is a wonderful place. Sophisticated yet down-home. This house is located wind shadow of a small extinct volcano cone (there are condos built down in the cone) that creates a wonderful micro-climate. There are plenty of trade winds that keep the house cool but it seems like most of the rain skirts the house and falls a few houses farther west. This house is located in single-family neighborhood as close to the ocean as you can possibly imagine. The closest beach is a two minute stroll and there are two more beaches within an eight minute stroll. Brennecke's Beach has body surfing and boogie boarding. The "Kid Pond" is a knee-deep, sand-bottom, waveless bit of ocean for the littlest children. Nukumoi Point and the Waiohai beach are great for adults and children and have two board surfing spots. There are about 30 restaurants in Poipu, including two wonderful local restaurant/bars within a five minute walk. Brennecke's Beach Broiler has sold over one million of their famous Mai-Tai's. Kalapaki Joe's is a local sports bar and restaurant. There is a shopping center 3/4 mile to the west with several restaurants and a small grocery. Poipu is 16 miles from the airport. Renting a car is recommended although it is possible to taxi to Poipu and walk throughout Poipu. The Kauai Bus only costs about $0.50 and runs to Poipu hourly, with the bus stop about 1/2 mile from the house. Poipu is a very small area of Kauai. You can walk everywhere or you can drive to the places that are more than a half mile. I don't recommend bicycling because all the roads are two lane with very little shoulder and very few sidewalks.
