Just steps from Hideaways Beach, Makai Golf Course, 1 Hotel and Princeville’s local shops and restaurants, this private getaway is ideal for exploring the island’s most iconic destinations.

Princeville, located on the scenic north shore of Kauai, is a paradise for visitors seeking both relaxation and adventure. Here are some of the other top things to do in Princeville:

Explore Hanalei Bay:

Just a short drive from Princeville, Hanalei Bay is one of the most picturesque spots on the island. Enjoy swimming, paddleboarding, or just relaxing on the sandy beach with stunning mountain backdrops.

Visit Queen's Bath:

This natural tide pool is a must-see, especially during the summer months when the waters are calmer. It’s a great spot for observing marine life, but caution is needed as the area can be dangerous during high surf.

Play Golf at Makai Golf Club:

This world-class golf course offers spectacular ocean views and challenging play. Whether you’re an avid golfer or a casual player, the scenery alone makes it worth a visit.

Take a Helicopter Tour:

Experience the breathtaking landscapes of Kauai from above. Helicopter tours provide a unique perspective of the island’s waterfalls, rugged coastline, and lush valleys, including the famous Na Pali Coast.

Hike the Kalalau Trail:

For the adventurous, the Kalalau Trail offers a challenging hike along the Na Pali Coast. The 11-mile trail provides stunning views and access to remote beaches and valleys. Even a shorter hike to Hanakapiai Beach (4 miles in) is challenging but rewarding.

Snorkel at Hideaways Beach:

This hidden gem is great for snorkeling, with vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life. Access involves a steep trail, but the pristine beach and underwater scenery are worth the effort.

Visit the Hanalei Valley Lookout:

Stop by this viewpoint for a panoramic view of the lush Hanalei Valley, taro fields, and surrounding mountains. It’s an ideal spot for photography and appreciating Kauai’s natural beauty.

Relax at Princeville Botanical Gardens:

Take a guided tour through these beautifully maintained gardens, learning about exotic plants, medicinal herbs, and tropical flowers. The tours also include chocolate and honey tastings.

Kayak the Hanalei River:

Rent a kayak and paddle down the tranquil Hanalei River, surrounded by stunning natural scenery. It’s a peaceful way to explore the area and observe wildlife.

Indulge in Local Cuisine:

Princeville and the nearby town of Hanalei offer a variety of dining options, from upscale restaurants to local food trucks. Be sure to try local favorites like poke bowls, fresh seafood, and shave ice.

Spa and Wellness:

Several resorts in Princeville offer luxurious spa services. Treat yourself to a relaxing massage, facial, or other wellness treatments, often incorporating local ingredients and traditional Hawaiian techniques.

Attend a Luau:

Experience traditional Hawaiian culture at a luau. Enjoy Hawaiian music, hula dancing, and a feast of local dishes, providing a deeper understanding of the island’s heritage.

Princeville provides a perfect blend of outdoor adventure, relaxation, and cultural experiences, making it an ideal destination for all types of travelers.

Hi Kevin, Thanks for the feedback. We always do our best to keep things fair and clear for everyone. We actually didn’t hear from you during your stay, so we didn’t know there was anything you needed help with. If you had reached out, we would’ve been happy to jump in and sort things out. Either way, we appreciate you sharing and we’ll keep working to make every stay a good one.

Small, centrally located, nice view

Basic amenities, nice to have bedding for pull-out couch, beach gear & patio area. Not sure if it had been vacant or bad cleaning, but itd been nice if tables (inside & outside) and counter were wiped down. Blankets for extra bed should be washed as they stink. Consider adding a veggie peeler & small knife. For the. I cleaned, took out the trash & stripped beds. Bummer.

Hi Angela, Appreciate you staying with us and taking the time to leave a review. We're glad you enjoyed the view, the location, and that the beach gear and extra bedding came in handy. Sorry to hear some things felt off during your stay, if anything wasn’t up to standard, we would’ve been happy to send someone over right away if we had known. There was a tight turnaround with cleaning due to some rough weather in the area, but that’s on us to make sure it still gets done right. Thanks also for the heads-up about the kitchen tools, we’ll pass that along. We always aim to make each stay smooth and easy, and feedback like yours helps us do just that. Wishing you the best on your next trip!

appliances

Said in ad: WAsher/dryer, but small print only too late:off premises. Refrige was not properly defrosted for at least 2(two)months. Couldn't get freezer door shut/main door & some defrosting occured. Informed management & turned off on departure... Interesting literature from Management about washing towels/penalty if not:Take out garbage/penalty if not, BUT no reimbursement for lack of properly running refrigerater if inoperable...?????? ironic isn't it?

Hi Tom, Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention. I'm genuinely sorry for the mix-up regarding the washer/dryer and the trouble with the refrigerator. We definitely aim for clarity in our ads, and it seems we missed the mark this time. Hearing that the freezer wasn't working right is a bummer, especially since it sounds like it added some hassle to your stay. We’ve got our housekeeping team on it to make sure the fridge is defrosted and working properly for our next guests. Your point about the penalties versus how we handle appliance issues is well-taken. We’re looking into making our policies fairer and our communication clearer, so everyone knows what to expect and can have a smoother experience. We really value your feedback—it’s a big help in making sure we do better. Hoping we can show you a better time if you decide to give us another shot in the future.

FALSELY ADVERTISED. Avoid this place, or any other Plushy Host managed property. Not to be trusted.

Plushy Host is lying in the advertisement. The posting clearly lists washer and dryer in the amenities. It's the very first one listed. I use washer and dryer as a filter when searching properties on VRBO and this one was on the list. The property management know this is false and still chooses to list this. It is essential that we have this when we travel as the activities that we do and the fact that we travel light (carry on only) requires frequent use of laundry. When I inquired about this I was told I could go to Kapa'a, which is 30-45 minutes away, for pay laundry or arrange with Kristin for an extra charge! I'm not even sure who Kristin is. Never had spoke to or dealt with any Kristin. Also with everything we had planned, spending a day driving to Kapa'a to sit around in a laundromat is incredibly inconvenient and a waste of our time when on vacation. Bottom line, if I had known that there was no washer and dryer I never would have booked this property. I informed Plushy Host the morning after and asked about the false advertisement. They didn't get back to me until the next day with their BS answer. I have been in contact with them on this issue since my stay. Every time I spoke with them they told me it was in review. Basically I got the hint they were just stringing me along hoping I'd forget about it. Horrible to deal with. Some other issues: -We were only provided with three bath towels and two beach towels. With no washer and dryer we were just forced to have dirty and always damp towels. -One of the window cranks on the left side of the sliding door is broken and unable to close. Not able to secure. -The deadbolt on the auto lock does not line up correctly with the door frame. This causes it not to be able to lock automatically unless the door is pulled from the outside or pushed from the inside. I finally figured this out but not until the property had gone unsecured for a night while we were there a day while we were not there. Anybody could have walked right in. -The screen door needs fixed or replaced. Slides off track every time it is opened. -The ceiling fan is barely functional. For one, the pull chain is broken and you can barely even grasp the last couple balls still hanging down. When you are finally able to you can't even really tell what is the "high" setting. It just moves incredibly slow no matter what. Pretty useless. -Another extra floor fan provided is tiny and produces not much air at all.

Hi Joshua, We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear your stay didn’t go as planned. It’s never our goal to leave guests feeling frustrated, especially while they’re trying to enjoy a vacation. To clarify, the home itself has never had a washer and dryer included as part of its listed amenities. We double-checked the listing after your stay to be sure, and at the time, it accurately reflected that. We know platforms like VRBO can sometimes auto-include amenities based on filters or nearby properties, which is why we always encourage guests to double-check the listing details directly. That said, we totally understand how inconvenient it must have been to discover that after check-in, especially when you had a packed itinerary. As for the maintenance items you pointed out, from the fan to the lock alignment, those things have since been reviewed and reported through our follow-up process. We’ve made some solid changes since then to help prevent similar issues from slipping through the cracks. We also want to make sure guests feel safe, secure, and comfortable, so those types of concerns are taken seriously and addressed as quickly as possible when flagged. We know we didn’t hit the mark for you, and we appreciate your honesty. Feedback like this helps us keep improving the way we manage and prep our homes so future guests have a smoother experience.

quiet getaway for a couple

Stunning location fronting a cliff above the ocean, complex is quiet and felt very safe, we slept with the slider open listening to the crashing waves below. Common pool is 2 min walk and hot tub is nice and hot! Short walk to two beaches but the paths are pretty steep. 5 min drive to store and restaurants in Princeville. Unit is functional and clean but not luxury. Could be better stocked, only one roll of TP, no sponge. Being on the ground floor you will also hear some noise from the unit above. Manager and owner are very responsive. Would go back.
