About this property

*NEW* Private Whale-Shaped Pool in Lush Princeville

Summary:

Come home from a North Shore beach day to your own humpback whale-shaped pool, set inside a fenced tropical backyard in Princeville. Kohola Hale is a remodeled, 1,838-square-foot home with two oversized primary suites, two baths, and room for four, so two couples or a small family can have real privacy. Make dinner under the covered outdoor dining area, linger in the hammock, grill on the barbecue, or take an outdoor shower before settling onto the lanai for mountain views. Queen's Bath is just down the street, and the Princeville resort area is about a mile away by car, bike, or a longer walk. Hanalei Bay, Anini Beach, and the North Shore's green scenery are within easy reach. This is the rare Kauai stay that gives you a private pool and a genuine home base for the island's most dramatic coast.



The Space:

At 1,838 square feet, this two-bedroom, two-bath home sleeps four in two oversized primary suites designed for real separation and privacy. The fenced yard centers on the custom whale-shaped private pool, with a covered dining area, concrete pool deck, hammock, barbecue, and outdoor shower. Inside, air conditioning, a full kitchen, washer and dryer, and a Pack 'n Play add useful comfort for a longer stay.



Guest Access:

This Kohola Hale home features a private pool and patio right on the property, plus a private entrance and lit path for easy arrival. The grounds include outdoor seating and a hammock, and beach access is just a short trip from the door.



The Neighborhood:

Princeville is Kauai's lush North Shore, where green ridges, trade winds, and Hanalei's mountain backdrop set a very different mood from the dry resort coasts. Queen's Bath is nearby, and Princeville Center is useful for groceries, coffee, and a casual meal. Hanalei Bay, Anini Beach, and the views toward Bali Hai are all close enough to make each day feel open-ended. The Princeville resort area is about a mile away. This is a quiet, scenic base for travelers drawn to garden landscapes, dramatic coastline, and a slower North Shore pace.



Getting Around:

Lihue Airport is about 40 minutes away via a scenic drive along Kauai's coast. A rental car is highly recommended since the North Shore's beaches, restaurants, and Hanalei's shops are spread out. Princeville itself offers walkable access to some shops and dining, while beaches like Hanalei Bay are a short drive. Parking is typically available in lots or driveways at most properties.

The area was really nice and quiet. We had an excellent time. Had a problem with the dishwasher, but they came out right away and fixed it. Enjoyed the pool, the pool deck could stand a good power wash. Yes I would recommend to stay here.

House had most everything we needed for our stay, small nit that we couldn’t find a knife set for cooking (and were able to manage). House was comfortable for small family (2 adults, 2 small kids). We loved breakfast outside every morning, and the location is convenient to anywhere we wanted to go.

The home was beautiful. My first point to make for anyone looking to book- THERE ARE WINDOW TREATMENTS, despite what the listing photos show. And although it’s listed as 2b/2b, the primary bedroom is an open loft concept, so it is not fully private. Apparently though, there was a management company change BEFORE our reservation began; I never received the check in email (said to arrive day before check in); the only contact I had through the VRBO app felt almost AI generated replies, repeating the same useless information. Finally, a human from VRBO app gave me a 4 digit door code, which was actually NOT for the door key pad- it was for a lock box- which we found on our own when code did not work for door. The evening of our 4th day, I received an email, still unsure from which mngmt company, with a 10 digit door code that did not work consistently which was frustrating. And lastly, the binder with instructions for the home, has not been updated. We never figured out the living room TV. And it seems all information provided comes from the old mngmnt company. Again, beautiful home, we’d def stay here again for the home and location, but hopefully the contact and Mngmnt information get sorted properly to prevent the next customer our same headaches.

Great house

Nicely renovated. Only issue is no curtains. I contacted the property manager as there are literally no window treatments. We changed in the dark. The comment was “you should have known by the pictures”. I guess that’s fair but have never stayed in a house like that before”. Otherwise great.
