This home was gorgeous and cozy, the property was beautiful and there was all the amenities needed to enjoy our stay. We loved how close the cottage was to a trail that led to the beach. The hosts were great help when we had issues with Vrbo trying to check in. And also provided great guides for food, fun, views, and beaches on the island. A truly wonderful stay!

Beautiful bungalow in Princeville

Loved the size, full kitchen, and the vibes of the decor. Perfect for what we needed to explore the north shore. Close to a few stores, the only downside was the beach that is closest does not have a lot of parking so not an easy access beach. But on the island you can find one within driving distance! :)

Great Island Getaway

The bungalow was a very warm and inviting. I loved being able to have the windows opened all day. It sits back just far enough from the neighbors to feel somewhat secluded, but still very close to shops in Princeville and Hanalei. I would stay here again!

Walked down the street/hill to great beach. Went to Kileaua, Hanalei. Great location for these spots. Spectacular sunset from the overlook above Hanalei Very quiet except for Kauai’s ubiquitous roosters! Would definitely stay again

Nice Place

Overall our stay was very good. House keeping could step it up a couple notches with cleaning the gecko crap around the kitchen patio doors. Otherwise the place was very clean and comfortable. The manager was great to deal with and responded almost immediately when contact was made. Excellent location.

Slice of Paradise

We absolutely loved our time in beautiful Kauai and your bungalow was a huge part of the reason. The perfectly equipped kitchen, the comfy Tempur-Pedicure mattress with new linens, and beach paraphernalia was appreciated. Obviously the house was super clean. The lanai was a delightful spot to cooldown and refresh after a day at the beach. Thank you for sharing a slice of paradise with us🤗

Nice condo

It was a nice condo. It was a busy place as are all the places I have stayed in Kauai so far. This was ni the nicest place we have ever stayed in, in Kauai. The kitchen was fully stocked with your cooking essential cooking utensils and appliances, the house is beautifully decorated. We did not spend much time there as we were off sightseeing and they were painting the condos anyway. Many people around walking to the beach and walking through the property's backyard and walking around the property which was fine as I said, we were off sightseeing during the days and that is typical for Kauai. Beautiful condo with everything you need

Beautiful and comfortable bungalow

The bungalow was very well equipped, we had everything we needed to enjoy the water, beach, and down time inside. We were very appreciative of the many available fans because it is very warm and humid compared to our typical home in Washington state!The guest books were filled with great reviews, but also with suggestions of things to do on the island so I highly recommend looking through those to get recommendations. It was great that they were there from several years back and we benefited from the information. One thing to note, the trail to the beach is a little longer than we anticipated. Not problematic, but just be prepared that you are not right on the beach.Very clean! We would totally stay again!

Princeville Gem

Spacious and beautifully decorated one bedroom house in Princeville. A great place to relax and recharge. Like most places in Kauai this house does not have Air Conditioning, necessitating leaving windows open to cool the inside. Occasional traffic noise could be a problem if you are noise sensitive, but for us it was just a minor annoyance. The place had everything we needed and we would stay here again if we should return to Kauai.

Beautiful little place with everything you could want. Full kitchen with cooking supplies, pots, pans, plates, the works. Washer, Dryer, parking and awesome communication with Jeff, the owner. We really loved staying here with the exception of the noise. If I were a heavier sleeper, this place would have been perfect. Unfortunately due to the proximity to the street and the open air aspects of the home, the Kauai roosters made it difficult for us to get a good night’s sleep every night. Ear plugs helped but unfortunately for us, we won’t be able to stay here again. But solely for that noise reason. Everything else about this place is charming, great amenities, location, and exceptional hosts.

Host was very prompt with replies. Very cute place but property needs a good deep cleaning to include floors, grout and baseboards. I felt like I needed to mop the floors after we first walked in, but there is no mop or bucket. Unit needs paint throughout as well. Ceiling fans are spinning the wrong way so they’re not effective. Because it is so hot and humid in Kauai, AC would make things a lot more comfortable. Supplies were ample as far as kitchen and bathrooms and supplied plenty of linens. Sorry it’s not a better review.

Loved the place but be aware of the heavy traffic that starts at 4:30 am down on Willey Road which runs right next to the property (bedroom) :-(Beautiful backyard (garden).Missing a fully covered lanai, (at least portion of it) since it rained mostly during dinner time.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Porter

Host profile image
Aloha from our Ohana to yours! We are based out of Denver, Colorado with Kauai being our second home. This bungalow is a long time dream made possible, we plan on living here full time once we retire. We are happy to share our Hale and our dream with you as our guest.

Why they chose this property

Kauai has a magic to it that welcomes you in and keeps you constantly in awe. This Princeville bungalow is in a prime location, situated off the walking path into Princeville Center where you can enjoy restaurants and shopping, weekend farmer's markets and sunset strolls with sweeping mountain views. Head out back of the bungalow and down the historic tree lined Queen Emma's carriage path to Wyllie Beach (the furthest extent of Anini Beach and a favorite spot to site sea turtles). all while only a 7 minute scenic drive down to Hanalei. The bungalow offers a large private lanai with golf course views and gorgeous tropical garden.

What makes this property unique

We love the privacy and tranquility of the bungalow with its expansive main suite, vaulted ceilings and native wood features. The spacious lanai and wine cooler make it perfect for entertaining or relaxing. The double headed shower in the main suite is the perfect luxury to get that sand out of your hair. When you're in the bungalow you are close to everything, but feel like you have your own piece of paradise.
