With 3,500 square feet of interior space and an additional 1,500 square feet of covered lanais, on three levels, Kuhina Koa sits on a large lot landscaped for privacy and openness.
Green valleys, lush tropical forests, waterfalls cascading over craggy mountainous rocks, and pristine coral reefs. This is Kauai. The oldest of the Hawaiian Islands, Kauai retains the beauty and the history of Hawaii. Visit the Wailua River, explore the Waimea Canyon, the 'Grand Canyon of the Pacific', hike the NaPali Coast. Beaches are secluded. Some are gentle for even the littlest visitor, others explode with nature's powerful waves. During the winter months, the northshore beaches can have waves as big as 40' high, challenging to even the most experienced surfers. Summer months bring the return of sail boats to anchor in Hanalei Bay, clear and calm during this time of year. The verdant Hanalei Valley nurtures the acres of taro fields and gives sanctuary to native birds.

Kuhina — In old Hawaii, a kuhina was an officer of the king – perhaps a minister or ambassador... and our home sits on Kuhina Place, in the Sunset Drive community.
Koa — Koa is Hawaiian for brave, bold, or fearless. It is also the name of the hardwood used for the cabinets throughout the house.
