  • Jul 19, 2025 We had a lovely time. The home was spotless, roomy, and private in a beautiful walkable neighborhood. In addition, there were plenty supplies for days at the beach such as boards, towels, and coolers. We enjoyed being in walking distance to the Princeville Center, park, basketball hoops and golf course. The private pool was the highlight—we enjoyed having access to it for morning and evening swims! Ligaya S
  • May 31, 2025 We had a wonderful time and a great stay! The house is great and extremely peaceful. We particularly enjoyed the well appointed kitchen, and the private pool. We’ll be back to this house the next time we’re in Kauai! Andrew S
  • Dec 21, 2024 Awesome location in princeville, very close to Hanalei. The house was a dream, we had a wonderful time. Everything was so easy, thank you! John V
  • Jul 24, 2024 Great open floor plan. Super clean and spacious. Appreciated the air conditioning and pool. Katie L
  • Jun 19, 2024 This house was absolutely phenomenal. Honestly, the pictures do not do this house justice. It is way bigger in person, and everything about it was better than expected (and our expectations were high!) The house was super clean, extremely well-stocked with everything you could imagine, the location was fantastic (walking distance to a grocery store, a bank, restaurants and ice cream and shave ice for the kiddos. Additionally, the house was a short drive to Anini Beach with great snorkeling. The pool at the house was fantastic too. Most of all, the property management team were AMAZING. Yen and his team were kind, professional, responsive and made this stay a phenomenal one that our family will remember for a lifetime. If/when we ever make it back to Kauai, it would be an honor to stay here again. Mahalo! 🌺 Shola R

  • May 10, 2024 This home was a gem. The house had everything we needed and was spacious, clean and modern. The pool is beautiful as well as the front wrap around porch. It is in a wonderful neighborhood, quite and well kept. It was a great place to come back to each evening to relax and enjoy a BBQ or homemade dinner. Very close to all we needed in Hanalei and Kilauea. We really enjoyed our stay. We would love to return in the future! Heide N
  • Sep 29, 2023 We were truly overwhelmed at the property.Bigger than we thought.The grounds were lush and well maintained.Extremely organized and well equipped. Peaceful,pool was great.We used the rafts ansd chairs at the beach.This was a maiden voyage for some of us. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer. WE WILL BE BACK.Mahalo Karin M
  • Aug 12, 2023 We can’t say enough good things about this home. It was well stocked, extremely clean, and perfectly laid out for our family of 5’s needs. Communication was always timely and we had a stellar experience from beginning to end. It’s also in one of the most beautiful places on earth. What more could you. We hope we will able to come back one day! Crystal C
  • Jul 24, 2023 The descriptions and pictures are accurate. We felt very welcomed by the host as the kids enjoyed local cookies and chocolate gifts discovered in the gorgeous kitchen on arrival, which was better stocked than our own. The beds a super comfortable. Everything was absolutely spotless. The extras in the near side of the garage are terrific, such as the beach chairs and bikes. We enjoyed several dinners on the front lanai and morning coffee by the pool. There are effective fans throughout with supplemental A/C as needed. Kauai of course is a garden of pleasures and we didn't lack for things to do, but we regularly anticipated returning to our oasis a relaxation! If ever we get the chance to return to Kauai there is only one place I will look to rent and it will be this very house! It is simply put a beautiful, relaxing place to be and we loved every minute. Thank you so much!! Christopher S
  • Jun 11, 2023 What a fantastic property! Super easy check-in and check-out process. Very clean and has everything you could want at the house! Close to restaurants and shops and amazing beaches. We can't wait to come back. Thank you so much for a great stay! Allison H
  • May 04, 2023 We absolutely loved our stay here. Spent many mornings eating breakfast on the lanai while our baby watched the birds. Hanalei is less than 10 min drive where you can find shops and restaurants. The home was quiet, beds were comfy, AC and fans kept it cool, kitchen was totally stocked with every appliance and kitchen tool you might need. Garage was also well equipped with beach supplies. Overall very pleasant stay and would definitely return! Samantha M

Any mandatory mid-stay cleaning charges will be included in your reservation quote based on your length of stay. Please contact management for more information if needed.

Note About Seasonal Gnats

We want to ensure guests are aware that during the winter months in Hawaii, gnats are naturally more prevalent due to the tropical climate. These tiny insects are attracted to light and are especially common in lush, green areas like ours. While we take every measure to maintain the property, their presence is a natural part of the environment and beyond our control.

To minimize their impact during your stay:

Keep doors and windows closed as much as possible.
Ensure screens are securely in place. Please note, however, that some gnats are so small they may get through even the finest mesh screens.

We appreciate your understanding as you experience the natural beauty of Hawaii’s unique ecosystem.
