Lei Aloha - A Private Retreat, Pool + Fairway views

Welcome to Lei Aloha, Princeville!

This luxurious island home is a 4 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom home combination of elegance filled with an abundance of amenities. This hidden retreat located in the prestigious resort community of Princeville is one of its kind , and provides privacy while close to local shops, restaurants and just a quick drive to the beach. Lei Aloha is a perfect island getaway home that is perfect for families and friends, that includes spacious accommodations, fully equipped and well stocked kitchen, large swimming pool, landscape tropical grounds, large living area with an open themed concept, Air Conditioning in each bedroom, beach gear and many amenities to enjoy.

As you enter, there are private gates that lead into a private courtyard, completely enclosed by a stucco wall and tropical plants, including plumeria, heliconia, gardenia, and torch ginger. In the center of the courtyard is a 16' x 40' swimming pool, patio space, lanai furniture, lounge chairs for sun bathing and a beautiful well maintained lawn.

Upon entering this custom-built home, you are greeted by a magnificent views of the golf greens, magnificent Norfolk pine trees, lush landscaping and tropical fauna. A generous gathering space with a large open-concept living and kitchen area is the perfect gathering spot. Large sofa, flat screen tv, dining table that seats 8, kitchen island with 3 bar stools all inviting and roomy.

Comfortable and tastefully appointed, this breezy, Hawaiian home of over 3200 sq. ft. offers a primary suite (King Bed) and its own bathroom that features a jetted tub, dual sinks, and a shower. There are two guest bedrooms one with a Queen Bed and its own bathroom (shower) and the third guests bedroom offers 2 Twin beds with its own bathroom (shower/tub) all on the first level and all opening onto the courtyard and the pool through French doors. An additional primary suite (King) is located on its on on the second level and features an ensuite bathroom (shower) with dual sinks, and a private deck that overlooks the pool.

Enjoy your morning coffee on the lanai, or on the lawn under a palm tree next to the pool. Fire up the gas barbecue on the patio for that fresh mahi-mahi from the local fish market and serve it on an outdoor dining table gracing the patio.

Lei Aloha pool is great for early morning swims or cooling off after a long day of adventure. Like most pools in Hawaii, is heated by the warm, tropical sun. The water temperature will vary with the weather conditions. In the winter, the water will usually be in the mid-70s, and in the summer, the low to mid-80s. We find that guests coming from very cold climates find the pool enjoyable, even in the winter months.

Princeville is the gateway to an amazing range of activities available on the scenic North Shore. Just a few minutes drive will have you kayaking through rivers, hiking along the Na Pali Coast, horseback riding to waterfalls, deep-sea fishing, whale-watching and much more. The shops and restaurants of Princeville Center are just a short walk from the house. Or for a truly local shopping and dining experience, nearby Hanalei offers varied cuisine and bohemian boutiques, as well as a long, crescent-shaped beach, great for a moonlit stroll.

Why we love Lei Aloha, Princeville:
- 4 Bedrooms (King, King, Queen, 2 Twins)

Was very excited to stay here and the home and location is amazing for anyone wanting to explore the north shore.Unfortunately the pool (which was the reason for booking here) was completely unusable. We contacted the owners and they responded that it was crystal clear and usable despite me providing pictures of the algae filled murky water. They claimed the rain caused the dirty pool but a little rain wouldn't turn a pool green overnight. Obviously the pool was neglected and when asked to fix it the owners ignored us and sent a pool guy that never did anything and told us he was too busy to come back.Also found the beds covered in spiderwebs and pans dirty.Very disappointing, it was a beautiful home but the owners were dismissive and unhelpful.
Pool after the pool company shocked it once. Waited 4 days and still green and murky
Downstairs master bed was covered in spiderwebs

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the home and its location on the North Shore, but we’re very sorry your stay did not meet expectations. We do want to clarify that the weather during your stay was impacted by Kona low storms, which are significantly more severe than typical rainfall and can quickly affect outdoor conditions, including pool clarity. That said, we understand how disappointing it must have been not to be able to use the pool as planned. Regarding cleanliness, the home was thoroughly cleaned and inspected prior to your arrival by both our professional cleaners and management team. We take claims like this very seriously and will be following up internally to ensure our standards are consistently met. We also apologize for the frustration surrounding the pool service and communication. While we did attempt to address the issue during your stay, it’s clear the resolution fell short, and for that we sincerely regret the inconvenience caused. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve both our home and the experience we provide to future guests.

Perfect house & location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent Christmas at Lei Aloha and had a great time. The pool kept us entertained, and the basketball court nearby gave everyone more to do. The whole house was very clean, especially the bathrooms and bedrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook for our family of ten, and my kids loved the pool toys. We had a wonderful experience and plan to come back next year.

The pictures look nice but it was not as clean/maintained as described. There were a lot of bugs, ants, a little gecko and lots of gnats, in the home. I realize it’s a tropical location but I’ve rented several homes in Hawaii and Florida and never had bugs in the house. Lots of minor imperfections, a dip in the living room floor covered up with a not so clean rug (looks nice in picture but not in person), chips in flooring, very dirty fridge with stains on it, screen door had a big slit, rust and weather outdoor furniture, dings and out of place trim, missing fan cover in laundry room, etc. just not nearly as clean as the pictures portray. The pool was not “tidy” like other homes we rented and unless it’s sunny and hot it’s extremely cold and wasn’t useable for our stay. If I had seen any of the pictures I took of the home I would have never booked it. We were offered a small discount (400) for the misrepresentation but I never received it. I will say it is stocked well with dishes and beach gear but overall condition was not what was portrayed in my opinion.
Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 26 Feb, 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We would like to respectfully clarify a few points in your review, as some of the information shared is inaccurate. The agreed-upon discount was fully refunded to you and totaled over $400, which was processed promptly during your stay. The home is in very good condition and is regularly maintained, and we take great pride in keeping it comfortable and well cared for for our guests. We are sorry that the weather during your visit was not ideal for pool use. February is part of Kauai’s rainy season, and while we always hope for sunny days, weather conditions are unfortunately beyond our control. Regarding the presence of small bugs and geckos, these are harmless and very common in tropical environments such as Kauai. Despite regular pest control service, it is not possible to completely eliminate them in an open-air island climate. Lastly, normal wear related to sea salt air and high humidity is unavoidable in ocean and tropical properties and does not reflect a lack of care or maintenance. These environmental conditions are unique to island living and are not something we can prevent. We regret that your experience did not meet expectations, but we do want to ensure that future readers have an accurate understanding of the situation.

Unbelievably well appointed home maybe the best we have ever rented. Everything that we would have ever wanted in the kitchen was there, high quality towels and linens. Nothing about this experience screamed "rental home". Wonderful having nature out of both sides of the house, and the neighborhood chickens kept us company on the back deck. Wonderful experience.
