Kauai, the oldest and northernmost island of the main Hawaiian Islands, has been featured in over 70 Hollywood movies and television shows... and for good reason! It's one of the most beautiful places on the planet!

Bring your family and friends and stay in this beautifully landscaped, spacious three-level home on a private bluff with breath-taking views of the ocean. With six bedrooms, a study, large living room and dining area, 5 bathrooms, a sauna, Jacuzzi and several outdoor decks for watching the sunset, there's plenty of space to enjoy a relaxing respite from the workaday world. What better way to warm up this winter or chill out next summer? Imagine whale watching right from your bedroom!

This house is about three minutes away from the beautiful Princeville Hotel, where fine dining and beach access are available to the public. Situated in the lush north shore of Kauai, it's an easy drive to many gorgeous north shore beaches, great for kids, romantic swimming and picnics, and a range of water sports including snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing, kayaking, shelling, etc.

Best of all, the proceeds of this auction benefit Farmworker Justice.

The house is used as a retreat by the Center for Human Rights & Constitutional Law. We thank the Center and Executive Director Peter Schey for making it available.
