Best of the Best

My family and friends stayed at this beautiful home during our 25th Wedding Anniversary Celebration! It has absolutely everything you would ever want in a house! It was spacious and cozy at the same time. The beds were heavenly, the hot tub rejuvenating and the pool table a big hit with the 4 teenagers! After sun, fun and snorkeling, it was wonderful coming back to the relaxing spray of the outdoor shower and sitting on the patio to watch the sun set over the pristine golf course. This was the favorite pastime for my golfer husband. The owner was excellent to work with and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. I recommend staying at least 2 weeks, there is so much to do on the North Shore! My favorite was zip-lining at Princeville Adventures. The teenagers went scuba-diving with Ocean Quest. They have professional teachers who even though it was my 14 year olds first time scuba-diving, he felt at ease and enjoyed the experience so much, now he wants to get certified. I won't get started on the golfing, but my husband says you have to do the Ocean course on the Makai! Thanks for a great memory!!

Owner response:Our hope is that everyone will enjoy themselves as much as these guests. We will do whatever we can to make your trip easy and fun for all.

This is truly a beautiful home in a beautiful neighborhood. Everything you need is there, spotlessly clean and in working order. Loved the views of the golf course and ocean from the back of the house. The layout provided plenty of privacy for our family group of eight adults, yet the living and dining areas, the lanais and patio offered the perfect opportunities for together time as well. Not to mention the fine pool table, the hot tub and the resistance pool. Bright and cheery, tastefully furnished with a real eye for quality. Conveniently located – easy walk to Princeville Shopping Center, where there are restaurants, shops and a grocery store. We especially liked the coffee shop Lei Petite. Can’t say enough about it all – absolutely loved it! The owners are great to work with, as well as the housekeeping and maintenance staff. Would not hesitate to rent again or recommend. A real paradise!

Owner response:Thank you Lori--sounds like you found a new coffee shop for us to try! We always look forward to our old favorites and the new ones that are yet to be discovered--just like the hikes and beaches we enjoy...so little time, so much Kauai! Have a terrific Thanksgiving!

Beautiful Home

We've stayed here twice and love this home! The kitchen is spacious and beautiful, the home is well furnished, 3 families stayed here very comfortably. We especially appreciated the well-stocked beach supplies - chairs, mats, coolers, toys. There is a grocery store walking distance, and lots of beaches nearby. We also enjoyed sitting on the patio sipping coffee and watching the golfers go by! Thank you to Linda for all the Island information you sent before our stay.

Owner response:Aloha Deborah, and I'm so glad you found Waioha as nice the second time around. It is an utmost compliment to have guests return! Please come back again when you visit our beautiful island.

Dream Vacation Home

Guest: Izzy (Texas)
Date of Stay: 12/19/08 Review Submitted: 06/23/11

Our very first trip to Hawaii was for my Husbands 50th Birthday in December 2008 and we stayed in this house. There was the two of us, our Son his wife and baby and our nelwy married Daughter and her husband. Each couple had their own romantic wing and privacy. We happened to be there over Christmas and I can honestly say that that will be one of the most memorable Christmas's ever. The kitchen is a dream and was perfectly equiped to cook a big Christmas dinner. The decor is tasteful and very inviting and we all had so much fun playing pool at night. This house caters for all needs (including excellent books to read on the beach) all we had to pack was our clothes, sun tan lotion and then buy food when we got there. This is truly a dream vacation house in paradise :) Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Owner response:Mahalo Izzy, so glad you had a memerable trip. We are on island now with our adult children and having a blast. Always feels so good to be here....Come back again--remember I give a free night to returning guests! Linda

Mahalo Kauai

We just got back from our vacation and want to say it was the best we have had! The house was beautiful and the pictures just doesn't give the house the justice it deserves, it is a great house. Close to the shopping center made it easy for both eating in or dining out. We celebrated our 35th anniversary along with one of our daughters birthday and the house and the island was a great way to celebrate both. We will truly remember our stay at your house and will gladly recommend staying there to all. Thank you Linda for a life time of memories and for all of your help and information.

Owner response:Aloha and Mahalo! So glad that you enjoyed your stay in Kauai. We hope you will come back again, and remember, we give a free night to returning guests!

Perfect Home Away from Home

I stayed at the home for 4 days in October. My friends and I could not have been happier! Here's what we liked the most: -Pool table, hot tub, swimming pool, boardgames, flatscreen tv, bbq, wifi...you could practically stay at the house during your vacation and never get bored! -Every bedroom is a master with a beautiful bathroom. Having this space is wonderful. -Beach toys, chairs, coolers all available for use. Going to the beach was so easy--everything was there in the garage! -Beautiful kitchen with all the supplies you need--we cooked a lot and always had just what we needed. I also loved that the pantry was stocked with spices, sauces, and all the basics so you don't have to buy those while on vacation. -Large, modern washer and dryer. Nothing is better than being able to wash clothes while you're on vacation, especially when you're spending time at the beach and on hikes.

Peaceful, Beautiful Princeville

Guest: Ron and Carol (Chicago, Illinois)

I rented this home to accommodate four couples traveling. We love Princeville and wanted to share this area with our three other set of friends. We stayed at this lovely home from Sept. 29 - Oct. 3rd and the house was perfect in every way, especially since each couple had their own bedroom and bath. We have some very very special memories when all eight of us cooked in the hugh, well stocked kitchen every morning and almost every night. The sunsets over Bali Hai are breathtaking and always spectacular. The guys loved the pool table in the late afternoon and it still allowed the girls to still be present while they had their own fun. We would definitely rent this home again and would recommend the property to others. Mahalo to the owners for letting us use their beautiful home and for being so responsive during our pre-rental process. Carol & Ron, (Chicago), friends from Wales, England, Toronto, Canada and Kona, Hawaii.

Owner response:thank you!!!

Fabulous home away from home....

Guest: Michael R. (-)
Date of Stay: 10/27/09 Review Submitted: 05/07/10

We rented this house for some of our out-of-town family guests ... for our wedding. Our guests were thoroughly surprised at how gorgeous the house was and so was I. The furnishings were perfectly "Tommy Bahama-esque" and the the house was very well-maintained and well-stocked with kitchen utensils, plates, cups etc. The home has a spacious kitchen and living area where the family spent most of the time congregating while they weren't in their respective bedrooms. The best part was that each bedroom had it's own bathroom! It was conveniently close to the Princeville Center and the Princeville golf course too. Our family's stay at Linda's beautiful home made our wedding even that much more special. Thanks!
