Gorgeous house and Location

Date of Stay: 04/02/12 Review Submitted: 04/16/12

Kuai is a very special place and so it is the house. Myself and my family really enjoyied it and we were so much feeling home here that we never visited a local restaurant for dinner. The house is very well placed in a peaceful and beautiful area. We really liked the remodeled golf course there. Quite expensive but once in a while it's worth playing in a PGA Championship class golf course. I highly recommend this house, it was just perfect to us. Jacopo

We arrived with great anticipation at our holiday accommodation in Princeville. The photos on the internet gave us an idea of the excellence of this home and we were not disappointed..in fact my family of 8 adults and 2 grandsons all went WOW as we stepped through the entrance way. The next 7 days were spent relaxing beside the pool or playing snooker or watching the golfers battle it out on the 11th hole (we always applauded if they sank the ball), going to the beach or just relaxing on the patio or in the jacuzzi.... The best thing was that we all had our own slice of paradise in our bedrooms with its own bathroom which proved a blessing when we all had to prepare for my sons wedding. I would highly recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a home away from home and a slice of heaven thrown in. Liz & Phil Genford ..Sydney... Australia

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

Date of Stay: 07/19/11 Review Submitted: 08/31/11

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.

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

Date of Stay: 10/17/10 Review Submitted: 11/08/10

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)
Date of Stay: 09/29/10 Review Submitted: 10/13/10

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.

Date of Stay: 03/26/10 Review Submitted: 05/06/10

We planned a 35 year reunion with school friends and were so pleased to find this beautiful house for our stay. It was spacious and comfortable for our group of 6 adults and 3 children. We were pleased to find the house to be just as nice as seen in the photos. We were all in awe over the property and the casual elegance of the decor. The bedrooms were beautiful, relaxing retreats, each offered an en-suite bathroom and TV for ultimate privacy and comfort. We cooked most meals and the kitchen was ample in size and well-equipped to accomodate all of our needs. Being that the house is situated right on the pristine golf course, watching the players was a favorite pastime when we were "home". It was conveniently located to a great grocery store, shops and restaurants, and this shopping center was close enough that we walked to. We found lovely beaches just a short drive away. The homeowners have maintained their property beautifully, and Linda was very pleasant and helpful to us. We dream of returning to Waioha and would highly recommend it to anyone!

Kauai Paradise

Date of Stay: 01/05/10 Review Submitted: 01/14/10

This was the most perfect place to spend our Kauai vacation. Slept like a baby here with the sound of surf pounding the shore line. It was hard to got out during the day as this place was so comfortable for all. We aged between ages 52 years to 9 months and all where very happy as we learned to hang loose. I suggest renting scooters. It was a great way to see the north shore and gave everyone some freedom to come and go as they pleased. Linda made everything smooth and easy as we organized this family getaway. Can't wait to return.

What a perfect and beautiful home to spend time in. There wasn't a thing you could ask for that wasn't provided. The description and pictures of the home were bang on and the owner was very helpful in suggesting activities and places to visit such as the Na Pali coast, Hanalei, Waimea Canyon etc. etc. We were travelling with 2 other couples and if you wanted some space to yourself - no problem - although the overall feeling of the home was comfortable and cozy. We wouldn't hesitate to tell anyone to stay here and we will have many fond memories of our time in Princeville to last forever.

My Family and I stayed at the house for 3 days for my birthday weekend, it is great house for relaxing, a hot tub, pool and pool table add to this of course!! The house looks good in the pictures but is much more beautiful in person, it was very spacious, clean and beautifully decorated, we cooked a lot and it really has everything you need. The house has amazing views of the magnificent mountains and golf course and is just a 5 minute drive from the magical town of Hanalei. We live on Oahu and have stayed at lots of vacation homes with out of town guests and this house was the best value for money. Stay here you will not regret it!! Everyone commented on how comfortable the beds were, you know how it is, you miss your own bed when on vacation, but in this case I could have traded mine in!! Last but not least I found Linda incredibly accommodating, she was very helpful and kind and we are already trying to think of an excuse to stay at the house every year. Thanks Linda my 40th Birthday weekend was perfect because we stayed in your beautiful home. Aloha, Leigh and Andre`

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!

Beautiful Home in Paradise

Guest: Linda
Date of Stay: 09/09/09 Review Submitted: 05/06/10

This home was absolutely beautiful, just as the pictures depict. The property was beautiful...clean, well-maintained and supplied with everything one would need for a fabulous vacation. Even items we brought along because we thought we might need them, were already in the home. We had only four people staying at the home (3 for the first four nights and an additional guest for the last four nights), so of course we had more than enough room to spare. We immediately felt comfortable and "at home" when we first walked into this nicely decorated and welcoming house. Each bedroom is a lovely suite, which was very much appreciated. We enjoyed morning coffee on the upstairs lanai each morning..The view of the golf course and the ocean in the distance was so very relaxing. Barbecuing by the pool at night and enough space in the kitchen for everyone to sit or cook without running into each other was very welcome as well. The guys enjoyed the pool table and everyone was happy that Wi-Fi was available. There is a small pool and hot tub which unfortunately we did not use as our daughter and son-in-law (who were married on Tunnels Beach during our stay) were staying at the Westin, so we drove over there or went to the many beautiful beaches of northern Kauai. It was nice however to know it was available if we decided to use. The owners of this home were extremely nice and helpful. I can't say enough nice things about them. I feel as if I have found new friends. They went above and beyond answering all my questions and even gave us great suggestions for fun and interesting things to do during our stay. ReMax was also helpful. Unfortunately I left a clothing item in the home and they shipped it back to me. In my opinion there is no more beautiful island in Hawaii than Kauai. Although we've been here before, this was definitely the best Kauai vacation ever. If you haven't been to Kauai, you haven't seen paradise and what better way to experience it then to have this lovely home to return to each evening to discuss all the adventures of the day. My family is hoping to return once again to this beautiful home. We'd go back tomorrow if we could. (We're still suffering from island withdrawal). We highly recommend staying in this home and hope your vacation and all the memories you make will be as wonderful as ours was. Aloha and Mahalo :)

We had the best vacation! The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. There was plenty of space for our 2 families (4 adults and 3 kids). The location was perfect for exploring the island. It was great to have the Princeville Town center within walking distance. It had a post office, gas station, grocery store, restaurants & shops. We were on Kauai for a memorial service and this house offered a respite from the chaos! We have tld all our friends about this gem!!

Great home

Guest: Chicago group (Chicago, IL)
Date of Stay: 06/22/09 Review Submitted: 07/05/09

Property just as described in the posting. Lovely home. Very clean. Lots of room to spread out. We had 4 adults and 5 teenagers or near teenagers and each had plenty of space. Pool is small but nice and kids liked it. Also the pool table was a hit. We would recommend taking along basic spices if you plan to cook. Buying groceries in Princeville was expensive enough, but add in salt, pepper, garlic, etc.... was a bit over the top. We took some taco spices but thought some basics would be in the house. They were not. All non food kitchen supplies were available. We would suggest buying groceries in Lihu'e before going to the house if you have an early flight. We found a Walmart with groceries on our way to the airport to leave. The house also lacks enough wash cloths for daily bathing without doing laundry. Televisions/stations and wireless internet were also of good quality. We had a great time exploring the island. Snorkeling at Ke'e beach was the best. We rented snorkel kits from "Snorkel Bobs", easy rental, good equipment. We then just took them from snorkel site to snorkel site,The middle of the road set was fine. Used the book, "The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook" by Wizard Pub to locate best beaches, tours, restaurants, etc. If you want to zipline, book before you get there. They were all booked a week in advance when we called. Kids loved body boarding at Lumaha'i, although this is only safe on calm days in the summer. Also Anini beach had a great rope swing near the river. We took the Na Pali explorer to the Na Pali coast. Great day trip, ask about 2 for 1 special if you have kids. Bit of a rough ride, adventurous but fun. Restaurant up near and around Princeville are nothing to write home about. Lihu'e Barbeque Inn on the south shore was good. Wishing well has good shave ice and is an experience in itself. Husband enjoyed golf at Prince course at Princeville. Excellent course, very tough golf, He says only play if you love to golf, Also expect to add 10 to your usual score. Renting this home is a no brainer. It is a great rental. Especially good for large families or multiple families/couples. On Kauai, take a chance, go explore. Outdoor activities were wonderful, but not well marked. Use the maps, take your GPS and have fun.

Owner response:Aloha and thank you. I'm glad you had a wonderful vacation. I apologize for your lack of kithen supplies. I would also be disappointed to find that these basics were not available. We have always had basic non perishable supplies in the home such as spices, oil, sandwich condements etc. I'm not sure where they went, but we will continue to make every effort to have those things available. Maybe we had an over exuberant guest who tossed everything prior to their departure! Again, thank you for the heads up on wash cloths. We will restock immediately. Your feedback is so valuable because it helps us to continuously improve the experience for our guests. Mahalo, Linda

We have had the pleasure of staying at Waioha on the Island of Kauai Hawaii two times. What a fantastic home!!! It is located on the Golf Course with a beautiful view and the decor is outstanding!! The home is BEAUTIFULLY appointed, spacious and allows privacy to each couple. The bedrooms are spacious and each bedroom has it's own private bath included. We spent many hours playing pool at their gorgeous pool table, and also enjoyed luxuriating in the hot tub as well as getting our daily workout in the resistance swimming pool and we enjoyed several rounds of golf. We enjoyed many meals on the lovely patio which is very private, as well as delicious meals close by. The location is just a short distance by car to Kahaa and has easy access to tours, boat trips, etc. as well as the beach. There is something for all ages to enjoy. We can't imagine staying anyplace else when we go to Kauai.

This house is incredible. This was our 3rd, and best, trip to Kauai. We were there for my daughter's wedding and this was one of three houses we rented. The girls stayed in this house. Wonderful accommodations. Everyone commented on how well they slept. Great gourmet kitchen as well. One thing I especially noticed was how cool the house was. Most homes in Kauai don't have A/C so good ventilation is important. This house is well situated on the golf course which provides for a completely unubstructed breeze from the ocean. I would definitely rent this home again.

Just a note to say how much we enjoyed our first trip to Hawaii, and staying at your home was part of the joy. What happy memories we have of the wedding (nearby on Anini Beach) and spending time with the newlyweds and the bride's family. We were so pleased that everything a traveler needs was there for us at your home (including the speakers for our iPods!). What was really great was the layout of the house -- we could retire to our individual rooms and not be in each other's way, while others were enjoying the hot tub and barbeque area. The living room and pool table area made the family gathering really wonderful. We will definitely recommend your home to our friends and stay there again when we come back!

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!

We found the Waioha home to be everything we had hoped for and more. There were 3 couples and we were perfectly comfortable and felt at home immediately. The location was ideal. Close to activities, shopping, some good restaurants, and the North Shore. It was a pleasure making arrangements with the owner and they were more than accommodating. I read these reviews with some interest when arranging for a place to stay. i don't want to sound too enthusiastic, but this home is way above anything the ads indicate. If you want an outstanding adventure in a beautiful home in paradise, this is it.

Our stay at Waioha House was just delightful! The house is EXACTLY as pictured and described on the website. It is maintained in spotless condition, with all the amenities needed for a very comfortable stay. The simple, elegant, furnishings and open design allow kids to move around without parents constantly fretting about what they could destroy. The result is everyone gets to relax and have fun. The four master bedrooms with bathrooms make it the perfect spot for several families or extended family. There is enough space and privacy for everyone. The location is just perfect! It is walking distance to the Princeville Center and a very short drive to some of the most beautiful beaches. Secret Beach is a must visit-- although it is a hike down to the beach, it is stunning and really a sight to see. The calm Anini Beach is the perfect place to just relax by the ocean or learn to snorkel. Finally, the owner was so helpful in trip planning and gave us many fun suggestions. One of our favorites was sunset at the Princeville Hotel-- sitting in the bar watching the sunset with drinks and appetizers made a perfect evening! Shareen from Oakland California

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.

We spent a week with our family (daughters, husbands and grandkids - 9 total). Had a great time in this beautiful home. Property clean and well-maintained, description accurate and everything in proper working order. Home owner very responsive to our questions prior to arrival. Kids loved the lap pool and pool table. Location was perfect. Couldn't have asked for more. Would definitely recommend this property for vacation rental.

I went to Kauai with my family which was 6 adults and two teenagers. The pictures of this beautiful home do not do it justice in the slightest, it is just so much more beautiful than pictures can even describe. Everyone had plenty of room and it made our whole vacation. I would recommend that anyone that has the people to fill the beds rent this house.

Thank you so much for such a beautiful home for us to stay in while celebrating our mother's 90th birthday. The architecture and interior design both get a "10" and all of the amenities you provide are well appreciated. We cannot think of anything more that might be needed. Kauai, as ever, was beautiful and we look forward to returning soon

Your home was a wonderful place to come back to after a very long day. Our son and daughter in laws was perfect and we will return again. It was great to have all of us in one place, and not scattered all over the island. Your home is beautiful and was perfect for our family.

We had a wonderful time in your fabulous home! Our family on the run non- stop, and it was heavenly to come "home" to swim or play in the pool. This is the only way we could have survived Kauai with our four kids! We fell in love with Kauai four years ago and I'm sure we will return!
