Accommodations:  House, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 3.5 Baths (Sleeps 8-10)

The equivalent of three hotel rooms in a Princeville Vacation Rental, for less than the cost of one nearby hotel room. For three couples, each has the privacy of their own master bedroom, and also the luxury of a large living area, looking out on golf course, mountains, ocean and waterfalls, to share with family or friends. For extended families, the house accommodates up to about ten.

A large living area is just up the stairs, which wind around a lush tropical atrium. 3400 sq ft under roof. Upstairs, enjoy panoramic views of ocean, fairways, mountains and waterfalls. Walk out on one of two lanais, and enjoy fresh tropical evenings as the sun sets behind Bali Hai across the bay.

King size beds in two of the bedrooms and two doubles in the third. A daybed in the Living Room. Two futons for extra guests or extra family. Upstairs, a "great room" of Living, Dining, and Kitchen areas, with windows all around, and two decks. Gorgeous views of ocean, mountains, waterfalls, and golf course. Directions provided in our own "coffee table book" to all the best restaurants, snorkeling beaches and shopping, with sample menus and comments from past guests. A fully equipped kitchen large enough for three cooks to work in harmony, or walk to one of three nearby restaurants. Fully equipped with bed, bath and beach towels and linens, beach mats, and a library of paperbacks for that "lie on the couch and do nothing" day. Books and toys for the "little ones". A DVD library of movies made on the Island of Kauai.


You will have use of Sunset Drive Community Association Recreation Center across the street. This excellent facility includes a clubhouse, swimming pool and tennis court.

Guests say: "It's a beautiful thing when a place lives up to its billing" (The Nickels, Denver, Colorado).

We have been told many times by our guests that it feels like home, not like a vacation rental, and that has been our goal.

From GOLF MAGAZINE's Gold Medal Resorts 2004-05:

Princeville Resort
Kauai, Hawaii

Shangri-la (n.) 1. A distant and secluded hideaway, usually of great beauty and peacefulness. 2. Princeville. Framed by sheer mountains that plunge into azure water, Princeville enjoys Kauai's most divine setting............................. as if the tranquil Hanalei Bay were in your own backyard. Robert Trent Jones's Prince course is a wild child, stretching 7,309 yards and often slashing its way through deep thicket. The Makai ("towards the sea") presents three nines -- the Ocean, Lakes and Woods -- that are more player-friendly. Playing early improves your chances of nabbing a patio table at the Living Room, where the sushi is always fresh and the sunsets are never less than dazzling.

You Said It: It has everything -- ocean, mountains, waterfalls.... The most opulent resort I've experienced.... The lounge at sunset might be the most beautiful place in the world.

Why the Owner Chose Private Homes

After I retired from the Navy, I worked for Rockwell International in Orange County, CA. One day I was stuck on the freeway in the smog, thinking to myself "Why am I here in the smog, doing about ten miles an hour, when my son lives in Paradise (Princeville, Kauai)?"

A week later, I called Rick, and proposed that we get together, buy a lot in Princeville on the golf course, and build a Three Master Bedroom Vacation Rental. I had heard a Real Estate Agent there say "I sure wish I had a three or four master bedroom house to rent!"

So we did!

The Unique Benefits at this House

    • We recently rented this beautiful home for a family vacation and found it perfect for our large group of 9. The kitchen is fully stocked with salt/pepper, spices, flour, sugar, condiments, and even paper goods. This is different than most Kauai rentals where you have to purchase everything. The location is central to everything you need to do on the North Shore - you can walk to sunset at the end of the road, walk to sunrise at the hotel across the way and walk to three beaches just in the neighborhood. The house is cool and comfortable even during the heat of the day, and the fans you have in the bedrooms helped keep us cool at night. Thanks again for a wonderful experience.

    • Captain Drayton, my friends the Rileys and the Dobsons had your place a few weeks and upon arrival of the rest of the group, a few went to other rental properties. Nothing compares to Hale Kipa. Everyone compared their new digs to yours and the most often comment was, "Hale Kipa feels like home." When I arrived and went upstairs, I truly felt like I was home. As always, Rick is close by and a huge help if needed.

      The holidays are over and I wanted to take a brief moment to write to you and let you know how much we enjoyed our week at your house Hale Kipa. It was almost like being at home. Our kids and grandkids loved it. And everyone was trying to figure out how to smuggle those football sized avocados home. Instead we tried to eat every one off the trees (impossible) they were delicious, the house was grand and I think you had just about everything in stock. 1 item was a spaghetti scoop, I didn’t find one or I would have bought it for the kitchen . A very comfortable place. We will definitely make this a must do again. We had a wonderful Christmas Eve luau and my grandchildren were mesmerized by the fire dancers. And of course they lived on the beach every day of our vacation. We did drive south and visit your Grand Canyon and stopped and ate in some out of the way places, we were treated like royalty. This was a welcome relaxed vacation for all of us, with our son in medical school and his wife in charge of the 4 little ones almost 24-7, she really needed some down time. Even our little 1 yr. old learn to walk alone on this trip, so as I have stated it made many great memories for our family.

    • We certainly appreciated the use of your lovely home in Kauai. We plan a yearly trip with my sister and her family, and this one was our best yet. The comfort and convenience of Hale Kipa made our trip very special. The kids loved Hideaways Beach and the pool. The parents loved the beauty and ambience of Kauai and Princeville in particular. Thanks for making this a trip of a lifetime.

    • Very enjoyable 2-week stay! The golf course setting (and nice big yard) is beautiful and there is so much to do in the Princeville/Hanalei area. Highlights were Ke'e Beach, Backdoor Beach and Queen's Bath. And going for evening walks to Lappert's Ice Cream. Great accomodations for our large group (3 families & 11 people). The downstairs bedrooms were very comfortable and pleasant.

    • We had an awesome vacation with our family at Princeville, and our stay at Hale Kipa still is the #1 topic at our dinner table. It was the perfect setting and your home was the best "base camp" for all our adventures. Thanks again for making it available for us to enjoy....we're planning our return trip!

Coming to your beautiful home was a dream come true for our family – all 8 of us! The moment we walked in we felt comfortable and at home. Thank you for allowing us to share the beauty of this amazing island from you family’s home. This has been the trip-of-a-lifetime for us and we will never forget it. Mahalo! We have come to celebrate 50 years of marriage with family. Nice to have wonderful accommodations. Certainly enjoyed Luau at the Princeville Hotel – recommended by Rick! Opportunity of a lifetime. The Chapmans, Phelps, Shaugaet. Philomath, Oregon Our second stay at Christmas! We love celebrating at Hale Kipa! We are now calling it “Our house”. Enjoyed playing the Prince and Makai courses. Sushiblue is ouor favorite restaurant. Beached it at Tunnels, Kalihiwai and Anini beaches. Made almost daily use of Princeville Spa. Ouor tip is to negotiate the golf $$ at the Makai/Prince courses.

    • We had 2 couples from Norway coming to Hawaii with us this year. We found your house on the internet, and it looked like the perfect solution for us. We could not have been more correct! The place was fabulous. If we return with more than just ourselves, we will be interested in staying there again. Mahalo and aloha.

    • Captain Drayton, Mahalo for opening up Hale Kipa to us again. This was my fourth visit and my brother's second. It feels like we were walking into our own homes again. Having previous guests leave/share amenities like books, water socks and other beach gear makes it a part of us forever. Mahalo again.
