Tiki Hut exceeded our expectations! Best place to stay in Kauai! The accommodation's were top notch. Wine in the fridge, fresh fruit and flowers on the counter. The gardens are amazing! The walk to the beach was a quick walk.
Anyone that stays here will be glad they booked the Tiki Hut…it is PARADISE.

Exceeded our expectations! We enjoyed the cottage and surrounding gardens so much, we spent most of our time there. Great location with short walk to Tunnels Beach. Our host Toni gave us friendly and helpful information, making us feel very welcome. Best stay ever!

We stayed a week in the Tiki Hut and could’ve stayed forever. It’s a beautiful property I could go on and on about. Just know, its even better than the photos. The house was perfect size for my husband and I. It was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed in the kitchen. The two lanai’s are perfect for relaxing and enjoying the yard. The hot tub was great after hiking on the Kalalau. We saw Toni a few times during our stay but that was not a big deal to us. She was very kind and helpful when we needed her. We loved our visits from Sampson her lab/retriever mix. He’s a very good dog. It’s a short walk down the private road to the beach then you just walk to the left a bit to get to Tunnels and Haena beach. We love it on the north end of the island so this place is perfect for us. And the Cook Island pine trees that run the whole north side of the property feel like a big hug. We can’t wait to return!

My husband and I are beach and garden lovers. A wonderful mix to be able to walk to the beach and come back to our space in the middle of a lovely garden. Our host Toni was incredibly gracious. Mahalo!

The Tiki Hut sits in a stunningly beautiful and peaceful garden. A short walk to the beach. We went swimming there every day. Quiet and secluded location but a short drive into Hanalei.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the lush gardens where the tiki hut is located. Tony was a outstanding host with a wealth of information to ensure that we had a perfect stay.
The tiki hut was immaculately clean with fresh cut flowers from the garden. Well supplied for all your Beach needs and many basic necessities in the kitchen we're already there.
The walk to the beach was an easy one and it opens up to the North end of tunnels Beach with some amazing views and some fantastic swimming.
Thanks again Tony for our amazing time in the Tiki Hut

The Tiki Hut is a WONDERFUL place to enjoy the north end of Kauai. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and cared for. The cottage is perfect and the grounds are stunning. The host thought of every detail- making our trip carefree and full of "sweet touches and extras". My only regret is that we did not stay longer and only 5 stars are available!
Huge benefit to guest- short walk to Tunnels beach- no hassel with crazy parking. Snorkeling and other beach gear available thanks to host- don't have to pack it. The beach is an AMAZING place to see fish, sunsets and to stargaze.
In order to explore in Haena State Park- we took the shuttle and paid the $35 per person. It was WELL worth it. The views were incredible and worth the extra drive/money.
Location is a short drive to restaurants, market and shops- so plan accordingly. Foodland in Princeville was a great stop on the way up. Also recommend Taste of Asia & Super Hero Sushi and Thai- food trucks. Cafe Tumeric and JoJo's shaved ice in Waipa. Local market Tues 2-5 great place to buy fresh tropical fruits for light breakfast, snacks for day trips and support the locals.

Alex and I loved staying here for our honeymoon. Toni was so friendly and having a dog around made us feel at home. The location cannot be beat and it truly is a little oasis where you can relax. We hope to be back in the future. Thank you so much toni!!!

We had a lovely time at the Tiki Hut, which is equipped all all the basics, and then some. Toni and her side-kick Samson are wonderful hosts, and this is a very special spot.

Toni's Tiki Hut is absolute bliss. My husband and I enjoyed every minute of our visit. I am a gardener, so Toni's exquisite tropical garden is an absolute joy. The location is also perfect for exploring the lush North Shore mountains and gorgeous beaches. Toni's malama (loving care) makes the Tiki Hut a true paradise. We are looking forward to returning. Mahalo!

This was the best VRBO ever!! Toni is amazing.., so sweet and welcoming. She makes you feel comfortable and right at home. The Tiki Hut is adorable and comfortable. She left welcome gifts and made sure we had everything we needed. The island and beach is just breath taking and there is so much to do if you want..and Toni made suggestions as to what we might want to try another time. I would recommend this to any couple who wants the perfect get away in the most wonderful spot in Hawaii!!

It was beautiful and peaceful and we had a difficult time deciding to leave during the day for other activities. Toni is an exceptional hostess. The bungalow had everything we needed or could ask for. Hot tub was fun. I’ve never stayed on Princeville side just Poipu but will definitely return.

We loved the location of this beautiful cottage, high up on the North Shore. We wanted a place where we could walk to Tunnels beach, and have privacy. This cottage delivered in spades! The gardens are beautiful, and our host Toni was amazing. We loved the private hot tub, the hammock, the two lanais, and the large yard. We loved having the goldador Samson visit us on the lanai, and it helped ease our homesickness for our three sweet pups. We cooked most of our meals there too. Get the fresh sushi rolls from the fish market in Hanalei, grab some beer, and ice cream, and enjoy!! We highly recommend this place.

Toni’s beautiful spot and aloha welcoming created a magical eight days for us in this incredibly beautiful part of the world. The Tiki Hut is well equipped with everything you need and more. Just walking distance to Tunnels Beach, Limahuli Gardens and a quick drive to myriad restaurants and places to explore, our time here was full and fun, Next time we’ll plan to stay longer. Thank you To I for making us feel at home here.

We booked our week long getaway on very short notice, we did not expect the breathtaking gardens and beautiful cottage to be as spectacular as it was!
Toni and her dog Samson greeted us upon our arrival to show us the grounds and cottage- everything was perfect, the basket of goodies and a lovely bottle of wine just as the start to this amazing place. We will definitely visit again very soon! When we got back to B.C. we were completely relaxed. There is so much more to tell but you will need to find out yourself!
Thank you Toni and Samson

We arrived on a late flight to Kauai and drove to Tiki Hut to find a welcoming note, fresh baked banana bread, and Kona coffee and treats provided for us. Toni is a terrific host; friendly & helpful. The “Hut” is really comfortable and well equipped. The large tropical garden is exceptional. The location is just what we were hoping for; quiet and less than a five minute walk down a private lane to one of the best beaches on Kauai. We can hardly wait to return.

Awesome place! We have been visiting Kauai and staying in different cottages/homes on the North Shore for 23 years. The Tiki Hut was by far the most beautiful place we have stayed. Every small detail was in place to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. The garden setting was gorgeous and perfect. Our host, Toni, was absolutely wonderful and her furry sidekick, Sampson (the official greeter), cheerfully visited us every morning to say hello. The location is outstanding, with an easy walk to Tunnels Beach. We would definitely stay at the Tiki Hut again and would highly recommend it.

A very short walk to the stunning Tunnels Beach on the North Shore of Kauai is just an added bonus to our week long stay at the Tiki House.
Toni and her black lab Sampson have created a magical place. The beautiful grounds that surrounded the Tiki House look and feel like a botanical garden complete with the melody of song birds throughout the day. The two lanai’s of the house offer wonderful areas to sit and enjoy the visual beauty and sounds of nature.
The Tiki House was perfect for my wife and I and we both look forward to our next stay there.

We can't say enough good things about our 8 night stay at the tiki hut. Much thought and love we're put into making this place a truly special retreat. The pictures in the listing actually don't do it justice, the place was even more beautiful in person.
Toni and Sampson welcomed us with true aloha spirit and we were so sad when it was time to leave. We will definitely be back to visit!

You always hear, "that picture doesn't do it justice" but this place is EXACTLY that. The size of the garden makes it so you can stroll through different pathways and enjoy all the orchids at eye level on every tree... Then you can take a short walk to find some of the best shelling on the island. Take a left at the beach, and walk a very short distance to the best snorkeling on Kauai, Tunnels Beach. The house is as advertised, small with a tiny kitchen, but perfect for cooking. We had 5 out of 7 meals there, including BBQ'ing some Huli Huli chicken the last night. The worst part of this place is literally realizing you have to leave it eventually! Both lanai's have amazing views of the garden with the sound of birds, and even a hot tub. Amazing Aloha here. We couldn't have had a better 16th wedding anniversary...

We loved our week at the Tiki Hut. A clean, cozy cottage with two outstanding lanais overlooking an amazing serene botanical garden back yard. Fantastic Tunnels beach a few minute walk, where we saw sea turtles, monk seals and more. Perfect location! Thank you Toni for a truly wonderful stay!

The setting- a short walk to a beautiful scenic beach with a mountain backdrop was stunning. The Tiki Hut situated in a garden like was very homey and well appointed. Being on the North side of Kaui, it was very quiet and restful. Excellent way to spend our week on the garden isle.

When you sit on either of the Tiki Hut's two patios you view a beautiful and relaxing tropical garden where the birds provide their distinct songs. The cottage is behind a fence, off a dirt road leading a short way to the beach, so you feel removed from the rest of the neighborhood.
Although small the kitchen provides the necessary pans, dishes and coffee maker needed for cooking your own meal. A very nice barbecue is off the porch so that you can keep the heat outside if it is extra warm, as it was when we were there.
Toni and C.B. are available for any help you might need but they leave you alone so that you can enjoy the quiet of the garden.
I would highly recommend the Tiki Hut to anyone staying on the north shore. It is a true Hawaiian experience.

The Tiki Hut was so beautiful and comfortable. We spent lots of time on the two different lanais, looking in different directions at this huge, beautifully landscaped property. Kauai is paradise, and the Tiki Hut is Paradise Central. Fully equipped and provisioned (including Toni's yummy banana bread!), hot (warm) tub, snorkel equipment, etc. And just a short walk to Tunnels Beach. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer....but next time!

We booked this property in 2019 for our much anticipated honeymoon after our 2020 wedding. Obviously things needed to be canceled and rebooked but this was the most spectacular trip we've ever had. The sunsets on Tunnels are worth booking this listing alone! It's walkable to the beach, a short drive to Hanalei, luxurious, and the garden feels like Eden. Fabulous all around and so true to the listings description.

We stayed at Tiki Hut for 9 nights while on Kauai. CB and Toni are wonderful hosts and provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Trust me…. they have thought of everything!! We loved being so close to Tunnels Beach… and it was so pleasant and peaceful to be able to walk back to the cottage after a morning at the beach and enjoy our lunch in the beautiful (and private) gardens. We also loved getting to meet Samson! We have stayed at many VRBOs, but none even came close to being as nice as this one. Hoping that some day we can make a return visit!
