Kumulani [1]
This House!
Reviewed on 2022-07-26 by , Glen Mills, PA USThis house!<br/><br/>First the location: it sits on a hill overlooking a quiet ocean beach in one direction and a breathtaking river valley in the other. It is set among beautifully maintained gardens that create just the loveliest, most peaceful environment imaginable.<br/><br/>As to the house itself:<br/><br/>The light-filled master suite is on the top level by itself with its own deck and views of the ocean in two directions. Extremely welcoming, it receives near-constant breezes.<br/><br/>The main living area is one floor below, with two comfortable and well-furnished seating areas. There is an excellent kitchen and a laundry room that I wish I could transport back to my own house. A huge wraparound porch on this level takes advantage of the great views.<br/><br/>Yet one more floor below are two more spacious, comfortable bedrooms, with baths. A door on this floor leads out to the pool – simple and elegant.<br/><br/>This house is so thoughtfully designed and impeccably constructed that every day we found new things to admire.<br/><br/>Every amenity, from the towels and linens to the beach chairs/umbrella, from the furnishings to the cedar blocks in the bedroom drawers(!) was top-notch.<br/><br/>The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped. And a real, unexpected bonus was the art: Throughout the house are paintings representing Hawaiian artists – it’s a bit like living in a delightful gallery.<br/><br/>We probably ended up doing fewer island activities than we might have otherwise because we simply enjoyed being in the house so much. And in a place like Kauai, that says a lot.

Kumulani in paradise
Reviewed on 2022-07-14 by Hylton S. , Boston, MA USA total gem in the most beautiful setting. Kumulani exceeded our expectations. The landscaping, paths and trails around the house are some of the most beautiful we have seen. Proximity to Hanalei is great. The pool is amazing and the setting spectacular. House is comfortable, spacious and well equipped. We will be back and hoping that this incredible property is available again.

Great
Reviewed on 2022-07-11 by Maira C. , Beverly Hills, CA USBeautiful home! It has everything you need. The grounds are gorgeous. I don' t recommend with small children because the 2 other bedrooms are in the 3rd floor, far from master bedroom.

Kumulani is GLORIOUS!
Reviewed on 2021-08-12 by Jonathan L. , Newton, MA United StatesThis is one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed in my life. The home sits atop a hill with views of the ocean, the rainforest and the mountains. The gardens are extensive and lovely, with stone benches along the paths to enjoy vistas

Memorial trip for my husband
Reviewed on 2021-07-11 by Bethanie J. , Cleveland, TN United StatesWe loved the house. The view is better than the pictures show. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with anything you should need. There's two flights of stairs that could be a issue for people that have trouble with steps. The gardens around the house are beautiful with a path to wonder through the flowers and fruit trees, benches in quite areas along the path. A little pricey but worth it.

Kauai vacation June 2018
Reviewed on 2018-07-11 by Michael M. , Flower Mound, TX United StatesVacation was wonderful. The island was so lush and tropical. Weather was great and scenery fantastic. Enjoyed helicopter tour, boat trip with snorkling, the luau and seeing the "Jurassic" falls. Accomodations were fabulous. Better than anything I've ever been in.

The perfect Kauai escape
Reviewed on 2018-03-28 by , LA, CA United StatesWe actually extended our stay in Kauai at the last minute and were lucky enough to find Kumulani. It was the perfect sanctuary for our last few days. The kids swam like fish, we were so close to great quiet beaches, that lanai was to die for. It was SO hard to leave. The best spot in the house is the outdoor shower.

Reviewed on 2018-03-28 by Jan N. , Bedford, Texas United StatesOur family loved the home we stayed in while in Kauai. The kitchen was better equipped than my own home. Lots of wonderful amenities & spacious rooms! We loved overlooking the ocean during the day & hearing the waves at night. The home is a perfect location for beach time, private swimming pool fun, shopping, dining out or just staying home for peaceful relaxation. We rate this 5 Star Accommodations!

Awesome gardens and great view
Reviewed on 2018-03-28 by , Yardley, PA United StatesThe view, pool, property layout, and location were all excellent. The master is two floors away from the other bedrooms... if you have small children, this may not be ideal. For us - the layout was perfect and every window has a beautiful view. You hear the ocean from the master bedroom and wake up to the sunrise. The Hawaiian art gives the house an extra bonus!

Reviewed on 2017-08-14 by William W. , Saint Charles, IL United StatesA wonderfully located home with quick access to north shore beaches and activities. The set up the house was perfect for my wife and I and our 5 children. We could swim, gather for board games and dinners or find a quiet corner to settle into with a book. Everyone that we dealt with associated with the house was professional, gracious and very well informed. We cannot wait to return to Kauai and Kumulani will be our first choice for lodging.

One of the more sought after aspects of a vacation rental (or home for that matter) on Kauai is to be one of a kind; to have a view that can only be cherished by those privy to the specific angles and perspectives a particular property provides. Kumulani, perched on a ridge between Kalihiwai Bay and Anini Beach, is a perfect example.
This 3,000 square foot home is a comfort zone in and out. Upstairs highlights include high ceilings, a spacious kitchen with wrapping granite countertops, an elegant dining area and a roomy living area. The master suite has a king bed, a spacious lanai and a charming Hawaiian chic decor. Downstairs, one bedroom features a king bed, the other has one double bed, and both have private baths and direct access to the pool and open lanai perfectly suited for a day (or days) of leisure.
Located between the towns of Kilauea and Princeville, all the eating, shopping and fun-in-the-sun glory the North Shore has to offer is a short drive away, but when all of that is through, privacy and quiet are the last features of the day.
Disclosure: Full time residents (wife/husband) live in the guest house - Exterior security cameras in use

First the location: it sits on a hill overlooking a quiet ocean beach in one direction and a breathtaking river valley in the other. It is set among beautifully maintained gardens that create just the loveliest, most peaceful environment imaginable.
As to the house itself:
The light-filled master suite is on the top level by itself with its own deck and views of the ocean in two directions. Extremely welcoming, it receives near-constant breezes.
The main living area is one floor below, with two comfortable and well-furnished seating areas. There is an excellent kitchen and a laundry room that I wish I could transport back to my own house. A huge wraparound porch on this level takes advantage of the great views.
Yet one more floor below are two more spacious, comfortable bedrooms, with baths. A door on this floor leads out to the pool – simple and elegant.
This house is so thoughtfully designed and impeccably constructed that every day we found new things to admire.
Every amenity, from the towels and linens to the beach chairs/umbrella, from the furnishings to the cedar blocks in the bedroom drawers(!) was top-notch.
The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped. And a real, unexpected bonus was the art: Throughout the house are paintings representing Hawaiian artists – it’s a bit like living in a delightful gallery.
We probably ended up doing fewer island activities than we might have otherwise because we simply enjoyed being in the house so much. And in a place like Kauai, that says a lot.
