With pleasure from Princeville
Reviewed on 2024-08-14 by tim b. , Groton, CT USIt is with pleasure to describe our rental experience. The home was extremely well cleaned prior to our arrival. It had pretty much everything you could want from a rental property. We didn't use the beach chairs or any other beach items in the garage, but it was nice to know they were there in case we did. The washer and dryer were used almost daily, which are in the garage as well. The home does need a little TLC, but I enjoyed the rustic charm more than some of the people we were with. It reminded me of the old beach cottages I rented in my youth. I contacted the property manager about the ants in one of the bedrooms. We loved being close to Hanalei Bay and proximity to many of the beaches. You can walk to Happy Talk, which came in handy for our adult children.

Perfect home perfect location!
Reviewed on 2024-04-28 by Elisabeth M. , Steamboat Springs, CO USWhile we’ve stayed in Hanalei in the past, it’s too noisy and previous rentals have not even compared to this home. Quiet street and home feels very private the way it is built into the downslope, backing up to the big ravine. Three spacious bedrooms each with own attached bath. Private outdoor shower (we never even showered inside - no need!). Fully stocked kitchen and beach toys. Unique layout and great deck on each floor. Property manager is super responsive. Home felt massive for our family of five. Easy drive into hanalei / Haena or any of the beaches towards Kilauea. Highly recommend. Yes, sure, there is some deferred maintenance, but have you been to Kauai before? If you want a four star hotel feel, stay at the One. If you want an amazing private home with unique touches, stay here!!!
Excellent, Upscale Property in Princeville Community
Reviewed on 2024-03-03 by Cathy D. , Ancaster, ON CAThis home is a spacious 3500 square foot home in a lush and quiet setting in the upscale community of Princeville.

Great base for Kauai North Shore vacation
Reviewed on 2023-08-29 by Annette A. , Arlington, VA USThis is a nice home on a residential street near a golf course. It is very roomy and made a great base for our family group of five adults. The Princeville location is good. It's a short drive to groceries, restaurants, Hanalei town, and several beautiful beaches. The home was well furnished and had a generous supply of beach towels, chairs, boogie boards, etc. We were there during a very warm summer week, and the bedrooms got a little warm in the late afternoon, but cooled off quickly with room air conditioners. The main living area stayed nice and cool. All in all, we were very pleased and had a wonderful vacation. Mahalo!
Week in Paradise
Reviewed on 2023-02-26 by Katie G. , Cottonwood Heights, UT United StatesI traveled to Princeville for the second time and absolutely loved this property and would return, it met and exceeded my expectations! The location is just close enough to all the amazing North Shore beaches, The Princeville Market, and a few beaches you can reach on foot. The house comfortably fits 2 couples (and would 3 as well) we loved being able to make dinner with the fully stocked kitchen, relaxing in the hot tub, and drinking coffee on the decks. We also appreciated the fun beach items like snorkel gear, boards, and chairs. The neighborhood is very nice and we would start the days with a walk on the many paths around the area. Beautiful lush palms, flowers and plants surround the house so it feels like a tropical oasis. We did have many rainy days during our stay so spent more time in the house than planned - there were plenty of books, games and puzzles too. I would not think twice before booking this house, and I look forward to doing so again!
Beautiful home!
Reviewed on 2023-02-12 by Robert G. , Nampa, ID USThis house was amazing! The 3 master suites made it perfect for 3 couples on our adults trip. The upstairs master and view is gorgeous! Plenty of space and seating for a larger group. I will definitely look to book this house Again on our next trip to Kauai.
Wonderful Vacation
Reviewed on 2023-01-14 by , Vancouver, BC CAMy only recommendation for future renters would be to get in touch with the concierge to book activities, massages and restaurant reservations well in advance as they often sell out quickly.
This beautiful, well-crafted home is located in the heart of Princeville residential area, minutes away from amenities like grocery store, shops and restaurants. The property was clean and well maintained. All of the amenities listed were in good condition and the kitchen has every thing that you may need to make your stay extra special. The view from the master bedroom is spectacular and the hot tub is perfect after a day of hiking or on the beach. I would highly recommend this property for groups or families.<br/>My only recommendation for future renters would be to get in touch with the concierge to book activities, massages and restaurant reservations well in advance as they often sell out quickly.

Perfect lodging for our week in Kauai!
Reviewed on 2022-10-03 by , South Chesterfield, VA USOur group of six adults (3 couples) loved staying here! The large private bathrooms and king sized were so nice! The kitchen made breakfast easy before our early morning activities. While we didn't use the hot tub or grill, it was nice to have those options. We made good use of the washer and dryer and the supplied detergent. The snorkeling equipment and other water toys were great to have......we used them a lot!

Oasis on Kauai
Reviewed on 2022-07-15 by , Mammoth Lakes, CA USThe house was wonderful. Perfect location with amazing views. Decks were fantastic any time of the day to relax and then the AC inside made it gloriously comfortable. The hosts helped us out with packages and accommodated a tricky situation of allowing extra days before and after our reservation. We had two littles that loved the house as well.

We will be back and will definitely stay in Princeville!
We will be back! The setting of this home was perfect for our family. We walked to the beach daily, sat on the lanai each morning and evening and enjoyed the home so much. We came with our son and his wife so 2 couples and didn’t even use one bedroom. Very spacious and everything was provided for us. Checked in with the property manager, Liz and she was very quick to respond and answer any questions.<br/>Quick drive to Hanalei Bay ( 5 minutes) and quick walk to dinner several times at Hanalei Bay Resort for gorgeous views ( 3 blocks away).<br/>We will be back and will definitely stay in Princeville! <br/>

Aina Kai Rental
Reviewed on 2022-04-29 by , Beavercreek, OR USThe location and area was very nice and we enjoyed the back deck which felt very secluded. The property itself had several issues: Stove only had 3 burners working, hot tub looked clean but indicator said water was past change date; some tiles were slightly loose in back bedroom and kitchen; screen door in back bedroom was broken and did not open. Couldn't get the jacuzzi tub in upstairs bathroom to work. Sm. refrigerator in upstairs bedroom didn't get very cold. It did not impact our trip, but for the price, expected everything to work.

Princeville home
Reviewed on 2022-01-12 by Kelley S. , Ponder, TX USBeautiful location, Beautiful grounds with lots of helpful items for beach and cooking. Some items in home were broken and unable to be repaired during the stay like livingroom air-conditioner, loose bathroom tiles downstairs, power remote and volume control on TV upstairs and a turning dial on the gas cooktop that was broken off . If these things get fixed and I am sure they will, we would have no problem with 5 stars all the way across. We would stay again.

Nice stay
Reviewed on 2021-10-17 by , Whitelaw, WI USVery large and spacious home! Neighborhood is quiet. House could use some fairly minor maintenance, but nothing that makes this an unappealing place :) The hot tub was a great feature after our daytime adventures around Kauai. Everything was clean & there is tons of beach gear to use.Enjoyed our stay. We're not golfers but this would be a great base for golfers since it's nearby a large golf course.

A nice house in a great location.
Reviewed on 2021-08-02 by , Menlo Park , CA USThis is truly a nice house, a clean house, and a great location. The only thing keeping this from being a 5-star review is that the interior and exterior of the house need a refresh - new paint, etc. But this comment should not deter anyone from staying here. The furniture is perfect, beds comfortable, linens and towels plush, and importantly the house was cleaned very well.

Reviewed on 2020-02-18 by , Ferndale, WA USWe thoroughly enjoyed the lanai off the living room, hearing and seeing tropical birds and still hearing the ocean. The house is laid out to give the feeling of maximum space.
