Reviewed on 2024-09-17 by Renee C. , Fairacres, NM USGreat stay for everyone. Beautiful home with a great beach view. We loved cooking our meals in a well equipped kitchen and eating on the porch. There was plenty of space for our family of 7. We would definitely stay there again.
Book this house!
Reviewed on 2024-07-14 by , Jenks, OK United StatesBEST RENTAL EVER! This house was even better than the pictures! The AC units in the bedrooms were great at night time. We enjoyed the patio, the hot tub, sunsets on the golf course and being so close to queens bath. My kids are already asking to book this house again.
Great Rental with Gorgeous Views
Reviewed on 2024-06-19 by , San Ramon, CA United StatesHost manager, Eric, is great. He responded to our requests and questions promptly.
Great lanai set up, gorgeous view from lanai. We can see a rainbow every other morning and a colorful sunset every afternoon.
Walking distance to the queen's bath. You do not need to worry about parking.
Kitchen is fully equipped. There are more machines than expected.
The property has bicycles, boogie boards, beach chairs, etc...
One improvement:
This house has two wifi stations. We struggled with wifi on the first day on the Lanai with info provided in the welcome sheet. Please update wifi information about orbi48

Absolutely Beatiful
Reviewed on 2023-08-23 by Brad F. , Holly Springs, NC United StatesThe view from the porch is unlike anything you will see - The most peaceful, relaxing and breath taking view you can find. I would say would be harder to find a better sunset view then here. House is equipped great and layout fantastic with views from everywhere. Also, very comfortable and clean

The house is very well equipped with all that you would need on your stay both inside the house and also all the beach accessories!

Great location, incredible lanai, amazing views!
Reviewed on 2022-06-20 by Steven M. , Santa Clara, CA USOverall, this is a well-equipped and very clean house in an incredible location. The kitchen was excellent, and the lanai mind-blowing. If you like cooking with friends and eating outdoors while watching the sun set over the ocean, stay here.
Only a few nits keep us from a solid 5 stars. First is lack of climate control. While individual rooms have small AC units, we had problems getting them to function consistently. The house has special windows to let the breeze in, but if you aren't used to heat and humidity -- and/or choose to stay here during the heat of summer (we visited in June) -- you might be uncomfortable.
Second, the house does not come with amenities for small children (pack and play/cribs, high chairs, booster seats, etc). We brought our own so this wasn't a big deal, but plan to do the same (or rent) if you are staying with small children.
Finally, there appears to be a small electrical issue with the hot tub. Pro tip: check it the day before you intend to use it to make sure it's on and heating the water. We found it off/cold because the fuse had been tripped, and it took a long time to reheat. Not a big deal (we found the box and reset the circuit) but a bit disappointing to not have it functional when you're in your swimsuit holding a cold beer.
Overall, a fantastic experience. We would stay here again!

Wonderful property, spectacular views!
Reviewed on 2022-06-11 by Joel A. , VAN METER, IA United StatesOur family of 4 visited for a week in mid-May. We were thrilled with this property - A/C in each bedroom and the family room in lower level with the Murphy bed was much needed during our stay for night-time comfort - otherwise we got along fine with open windows during day. After checking in and several days on the North side of the island, we decided it was a great choice as less traffic, beautiful beaches and undebatable views of sunset. We never used the hot tub (we have one at home). We sat on the deck daily. Kitchen well-stocked with everything we needed - plenty of kitchenware so you don't have to constantly wash dishes and glasses - though we kept everything clean to avoid any pests and never had an issue. Lots of pots/pans for cooking, store close by and great mgmt company response when the battery in the combo lock for garage needed replacing so we could get in and grab gear. Having the snorkel equip was great too! Walk to Queens Bath (across street) and to Hideaway Beach. We drove to Waimea Canyon, did waterfall hikes, snorkel, scuba and a coastal boat/snorkel tour. Recommend Tunnels Beach to snorkel as 2 reefs to explore. Super clean and comfortable beds. Our whole family was happy - everyone had own beds and the 3 3/4 baths were fabulous for us. Would definitely recommend!

Perfect vacation home!
Reviewed on 2022-03-10 by Audrey W. , Boulder, CO United StatesThis house has EVERYTHING you want in a vacation home. Great location close to the Princeville shopping center and Hanalei for shopping and restaurants. Close to many beaches to either hike to (Secret Beach, Puu Poa) or drive to Anini with easy access for families.The picture perfect views from the huge lanai are so relaxing and are the place to be for sunset. The kitchen is well stocked with spices and everything needed to cook family meals or pack picnics. The owners have decorated the house with tasteful artistic flair and comfortable furniture. No cheap plastic chairs on the lanai! Games, puzzles and tv’s for evening entertainment. Wireless chargers and a Bluetooth speaker are provided. They thought of everything. Plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, hiking poles and snorkeling gear. Also two bikes are available. The best rental we have stayed at!

Time to Relax and Enjoy
Reviewed on 2022-02-21 by , The Woodlands, TX United StatesWe picked the location hoping for views and sounds of the ocean. We hit the jackpot on both. Amazing views from back porch and northern waves crashing rocks gently 24x7. Exactly what we hoped for. Family loved the house, the patio, kitchen, game room, and overall location. We drove to beach and also hiked from the house. A great vacation and we will be back!!

Beautiful View
Reviewed on 2021-03-01 by Brian H. , Redlands, CA United StatesThis property is Beautiful and has amazing views. The main living area is very nice and comfortable. Bedrooms were ok as well. The jacuzzi did not work, they had someone try to fix it 2 separate times to no avail. The jacuzzi was a big reason we chose this property rather than a couple of others. There was also a clog in the main sewer line so both of the toilets downstairs were not working. They had the plumbers come out and it took them several hours to clear the clog. Property manager was very nice and very responsive. We would definitely stay here again but hope for less issues next time.

Punahele - August Rental in Princeville
Reviewed on 2019-09-09 by John M. , Toronto, ON CAHouse is beautiful. Amazing view even better than the pictures. House is well appointed and everything works perfectly. Only issue is that the house has no air conditioning. It is hot. Our stay was in August. We did not sleep that well as we were too hot. With no swimming pool to cool off in, it left us leaving the house when we were over heated. Otherwise, the place is perfect. Although the literature suggests there is no air conditioning, we neglected to look. In our past experience, a rental of this price caliber has always had air conditioning, so we did not think to check it. I would not rent this place again unless they installed an air con system - at a bare minimum in the bedrooms for sleep purposes.

We had an unusual heat wave during your dates, we are happy other than no a/c that you enjoyed the home for your group.

This may be the Hawaiian vacation rental of your dreams. Discover Kauai and the North Shore of Kauai overlooking the outer portions of Hanalai Bay, the Bali Hai and the ocean view holes of the Makai golf course. This vacation rental has not only these water, mountain and golf course views, but proximity to Queen’s Bath, local beaches, and the Princeville shopping center, all within walking distance via Princeville’s walking and biking paths.
Views are from a 1200 square foot covered lanai, complete with dining and high-top bar tables, BBQ, an intimate conversation pit and hot tub, coupled with near constant trade winds and spectacular sunsets at the end of each day. Beyond the lanai’s almost unbelievable setting and views, the elevated lanai hot tub is a special feature unique to this home, combining to make this house and lanai either the highlight of your vacation experience or in line with all the other ‘over the top’ vacation experiences you will experience while visiting Kauai.
Adjacent to the lanai is the living room, indoor bar, kitchen and more formal indoor dining areas, co-located in an open, high vaulted ceiling space. The living room and dining room are connected to the lanai via large multi-panel sliding glass doors. The living room has a large TV, a large sectional sofa, swivel side chairs, and a fireplace seldom needed at a location enjoying 70 to 80F day and night temperatures.
The large gourmet kitchen with center island is a place from which the chef will shine. The center island with seating for four is for all to enjoy food, drink, and conversation while the culinary experience is developing, with the chef having both social contact and all that is needed to work his or her magic within arms-length. Indoor dining has seating for eight, with lanai dining having seating for six and an adjacent high-top bar with seating for another six.
There is a mid-level master bedroom and bath. The master bedroom has a new articulated Tempurpedic king size bed and large screen Smart TV. The master bath has an enclosed pebble-based shower, dual sink vanity, and ‘Smart’ bidet toilet.
Downstairs has two more bedrooms and a large den with Murphy bed. The den has a large screen TV surrounded by a large sectional sofa, a game / dining table and office space. This room is a great place for our guests to pursue other activities, separate from those enjoying the upper-level / lanai experience.
Downstairs is connected to an outdoor shower and an outdoor patio with a seating / conversation area, and ‘a tropical paradise’ hammock for your special kick back time.
The lanai, patio, and almost every room in the house has a ceiling fan and nearly constant trade winds for comfort. And to mitigate the infrequent much warmer weather in the evenings, all bedrooms are air conditioned with independent control of AC for each room.
Each bedroom has an associated full bath, with den occupants sharing one of two downstairs bathrooms.
There is beach equipment and bicycles for guest use, in addition to the fully equipped kitchen and other amenities to create and enhance your vacation experience. Basic paper goods, linens and towels are provided, requiring just food, drink, clothes, personal effects and a sense of adventure to enjoy all that Kauai has to offer.
