The Hanalei Valley Lookout is just a half-mile from Princeville. After you've caught a glimpse of the emerald valley and its bay, keep driving on that same highway to Hanalei Town. For a bit of history, visit the Waioli Mission House, built by missionaries in 1837, and check your watch against a wall clock that has been keeping time since 1866. The adjacent church dates to 1834. The bay itself is a half-moon of warm sand offering a safe place to snorkel. Hanalei Bay is also the starting point for kayaking tours to the remote Na Pali Coast. Outfitters such as Kayaking Kauai Outbound () offer kayak rentals as well as one-day and overnight guided tours.

What wonderful sense of seclusion and aloha!

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: This house is just delicious! It's in a neighborhood, but once you step through the front gate, you would never know it. The plants on either side are tall enough to block out the neighbors. and the view off the back deck is a stunning collection of various trees, and then Hanalei Bay in the distance. The house is close enough to the bay that we could hear the waves hitting the shore, and snorkeling and great restaurants were only a few minutes away. The house was also well-appointed and spacious. Loved it!

Family Vacation at Hanalei Bay View—A Two Week Fun Time

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, everyone had a great time in spite of lots of rainy days. Did enjoy the changing scene, rainbows, waterfalls, clouds from the deck. We were a large group (8 and 7 at a time) there was plenty of room for all of us. Appreciated the many dining locations and we used them all. Pool and hot tub got lots of use. Slider latch from Master Bedroom to patio pool area needs repair. Also, vanity lights in bathroom need to be replaced as well as some bathroom lights upstairs. TV in living area is way to small for comfortable viewing and needs to be replaced. Emails to concierge remain unanswered.

Best VRBO stay ever!

This house is just amazing. The views of Hanalei and the mountains & waterfalls from the backyard are absolutely glorious. The pool and lush, tropical landscaping are beautiful. We stayed with a large group (4 couples) and the house is laid out perfectly and provides so much space for everyone to enjoy. By far, the best VRBO rental I've ever stayed in. We visit Kauai every year and this will be where I aim to stay from now on.

All good, except for…

The property met our expectations and matched many of the good reviews we read. One reason we chose this property away from the ocean was the pool. Unfortunately it was green with algae when we arrived, and despite the property manager saying the pool attendant was coming by to add chemicals. The water remained green our whole stay, preventing us from using the pool. There were eight of us and only two beach chairs. The prop manager was kind enough to bring 6 more when we asked about them.

Beautiful home, incredible space, stunning view

This well-appointed home was perfect for our group of two parents, two daughters and our younger daughter’s three friends. Everyone had a room and bathroom, and there are so many indoor and outdoor areas to enjoy together or privately. The view from this home is mesmerizing at all times of the day, and the back patio is totally sheltered from rain. Our group loved having a pool and hot tub. The hosts thoughtfully provided us with all the things for the beach — surf and boogie boards, snorkel gear and chairs. We hope to return one day and thank our hosts for a fantastic vacation!

Great location in a nice community with amazing views

The views from the back veranda were the highlights of this home. We were disappointed with the cleanliness of the home, however, Liz, the property manager was very responsive and sent a cleaning lady out the next day and also fixed the hot tug. The bathrooms and kitchen are nicely updated.

Beautiful house in an amazing 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 used Kauai as a meeting place between our American and Australian families, and wanted somewhere quiet to spend our time. The Hanalei Bay View house was amazing, very well appointed and a short walk away from beaches and resort bars. We ended up having our dinner in the house all the nights we stayed, using the local supermarket (Woodland Princeville) for all our provisions. We would love to come back and stay again!

We found the bedrooms comfortable and found the kitchen well-equipped. Only things we'd improve are a nice selection of pool toys/boogie boards for the beach and a complete set of balls for the pool table. Still wishing we were there . . .

Breathtaking Views

From the moment we walked in the door of the house we were met with the awesome views of green foliage and mountainous volcanoes. The house had everything we could possibly need. I stayed here with my daughter, son in law, and 4 grandchildren (ages 12 to 23). Being in Princeville allowed us to explore various beaches and participate in many water activities. The pool and hot tub were enjoyed by all. The 2 washers and dryers were a great help. The beach towels and chairs were also very helpful. Kauai is our favorite island so far. Our stay at this house was everything we thought it would be and more. I still am in awe of the ever changing views of the mountains. ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for our wonderful stay in your house. We would definitely stay here again if we don’t end up moving to Hawaii.

Fantastic House in a Fantastic Setting on Fantastic Isle!

The house was absolutely stunning with spectacular views off the back lanai. Beds were very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the heated (by request) pool in the gorgeous courtyard, the pool table in the outdoor room, the large refrigerator and very nice kitchen. We ate all our meals on the covered lanai with card games there at night. Enjoyed the view of the mountains with waterfalls! Our host Liz was very accommodating and personal both before and during our stay. It was great to meet her while we were there. Besides the privacy and the wonderful landscaping on the property and the great views, the property is nestled in a quiet little neighborhood flanked by a beautiful golf coarse. Princeville is by far the nicest area to stay on the island. If we every come to Kauai again, we would definitely consider this property first! Thanks for everything Liz.

Fantastic Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was awesome! We loved our early morning coffee on the lanai overlooking the ocean and the breathtaking evenings. We had a family of 8 there and we all had plenty of space. One concern was the glass table that separates the dining room and living room. It was a little dangerous when someone got up in the middle of the night. Ran into it a couple of times. Other that that it was great . Oh I did ‘t know we need to pay to have pool heated or we would have done that.

When we were home, we spent majority of are time in pool or on the wonderful lanai. Some maintenance work needs to be done but property manager is aware. COVID is creating supply and service issues in Hawaii as elsewhere. Did not effect our use or enjoyment of the home. Kitchen was amazingly well equipped for any food preparation you might want. Best grocery prices at BIg Save in Hanalei. We would definitely return!

Beautiful home in Princeville,Kauai

Th view is gorgeous, the house is gorgeous. It has lots of amenities. The house does appear tired in certain areas. Couch is dirty and worn, jacuzzi is old and sounds like a new one has been ordered. The one in pics is not what it looks like. The pool does not look like the pics. All of the edges had algae on them and the pool needs resurfaced badly. One of the bedrooms had blinds that were covered in mold. The property mgr sent someone over immediately and had removed. She is willing to work with you but in my opinion this house especially the outside fun parts have been poorly taken care of. Would I stay here again. Probably if issues are corrected. Also the pics show a b paddle board or surf board to use and there is not one to use. The front porch toward ocean - this view will give you goose bumps.

Beautiful Property in Princeville

I love to book unique, quirky properties and this one fit the bill. I loved all the mermaid sculptures, pool and hot tub. It was amazing sitting in the hot tub at night listening to the waves crash in. The bathrooms were also unique. We did have some issues with cleanliness...one of the main level bedrooms smelled like urine, so my son did not want to sleep in that room. We ended up crowding all the kids into one room because they didn't feel comfortable using the other spaces. There were lots of cobwebs and gecko droppings all over the walls and some furniture. The house was cleaned, but it felt like these areas were skipped and just never addressed. The kitchen cabinets are also in pretty rough shape. My husband was disappointed there was no coffee in the morning. These were not a deal breaker for our stay, but disappointing. I did reach out to the property manager before leaving this review and nothing was done or commented on, hence why I'm leaving it this way. The house and views were really great.

Beautiful home

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice home, well outfitted, some attention to detail lacking. The upstairs picture window was previously broken and a large piece of cardboard and some wood was the temporary fix we inherited. If we had small children in our group it would have been a serious safety hazard. Made our upstairs friends feel like second-class citizens. The upstairs room does not have a door. Two rooms downstairs have slatted doors -- like a closet door -- so noise comes right through from the kitchen and living room into the bedrooms. If everyone goes to bed and is quiet at the same time, not a big deal. for a multi-generational group, it was challenging. Two of the TVs were non-functional which apparently property management knew about prior to our arrival as while we didn't say anything about them, a repair person was there to fix them the minute we were checking out. The view off the back are stunning and the photos dont do them justice. If the PM can keep up with the maintenance issues and put some solid core doors in, this place is a winner. The view is incredible.
