This was a fantastic place to stay and walking distance to Queens Bath. It was also close to all the other beaches as well. We had a fabulous time.

This was one of the most beautiful places I've stayed. I loved the house - it was like living in a botanic garden with gorgeous plants all around and windows. Comfortable beds and furniture. Central location to everything. Good management. Absolutely a dream. We loved it. We would go back.

We joined another family for a trip to the north shore, and found this home to be quite comfortable and convenient to activities in Princeville and Hanalei. The house easily accommodated both families (8 people, including 4 kids, 7 and under), and was close to Princeville Center (which made for easy supply runs). Would definitely recommend!

We had a great stay…we had a few problems with the stove and ice maker, but the property manager was very good at communicating with us and trying to get everything fixed. Just a short walk to Queens bath which was amazing! A little bit of a drive to all our activities, but we didn’t mind the drive. The floors were sticky and they don’t want you to wear shoes in the house so we go some sandals just for the house…other than that the spa was nice, the rooms and bathrooms were nice and the neighborhood was nice and quiet.

Beautiful home. We enjoyed our stay. However, it would be nice to have some type of air conditioning. Made for very uncomfortable sleeping. I do not remember that being advertised that there was no air conditioners and that would have made a difference when booking! Nonetheless we had a wonderful vacation and cannot wait to come back to Kauai!!!

We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay on Kauai! It certainly has been a warm and rain free summer! We do our best to keep the house cool but tropical weather can be humid and uncomfortable for those not used to it. We do not advertise that we DO NOT have AC as that is not an option on this type of platform. We can only advertise if we do have it. Electricity on the island is very expensive and the tradewinds are our natural AC. Thus it is more common for private homes in the area not to have AC. However, portable units can be rented upon request.
The house and neighborhood were amazing for a family of 8 including 5 year old! Quiet, peaceful, comfortable and not in a neighborhood of tourists. Contact with host for house was easy and responsive. We were able to relax and really felt like we were away from everything you associate with busy everyday life. We walked to Hideaway Beach, amazing for snorkeling but a hike down to beach. We also spent a lot of family time at Hanalei Bay and beaches which were perfect for kids, surfing and spending time on uncrowded beaches. Hanalei is a really cute, small, laid back community which we really enjoyed. So much nicer than the crowded side of the island at Poipu! We have been to Kauai several times and will be back!

We look forward to welcoming you back to Kauai for another memorable stay!
Property was clean, spacious, well stocked. Perfect for our group of 4 adult couples. I must say, though, all the pre-stay emails and requests for information from the property management company was annoying and overreaching. They made it seem like it was something necessary or required to provide flight information, car rental information, insurance information, names, addresses, emails and phone numbers of everyone in our group, etc. Come to find out, it's all unnecessary. Seems like they're fishing for information they can then sell. We pushed back a little and didn't provide it and our stay went fine.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Mark. We are glad that the property was ideal for your group. We appreciate your feedback regarding the pre-stay requests and understand your concerns about the amount of information asked for. These helps to coordinate check-ins, enhance the booking experience, manage risks, and ensure safety and compliance with local regulations. We're committed to improving our processes and will use your feedback to make our communications better. We’re happy to hear you had a comfortable stay and we at Gather hope to welcome you back in the future!
The property was a great size for 6 adults. We had 2 couples and 2 singles in the group, so everyone had their own room and bath (the 2 singles shared the 3rd full bath). The house was well appointed with a fully stocked kitchen and outdoor grill which gave us great flexibility with mealtimes. The hosts provided beach gear (towels, chairs, snorkel equipment, boogie boards), so the group was well prepared for multiple days at North Shore beaches. The hot tub in the back allowed a relaxing end to the day. Cooling options for the house included window AC units or the louvers that allowed the trade winds to ventilate. Princeville is a quiet neighborhood with the typical Kauai Roosters that announce the arrival the morning! This is a great property that is well located to serve as home base for the North Shore attractions. Thank you for the great stay!

Amazing property close to some great areas on the island!
This home was incredibly beautiful and wonderful overall. Our one complaint was that there was no air conditioning in the home and the ceiling fans did not push much air through the rooms which was inconvenient for sleep. Being from Las Vegas we wouldn’t have thought a home isn’t already equipped with AC but we forget there are localities that do not always need it. We found a single fan which didn’t do much good for the three rooms we used but the home overall is simply great in all other ways. The home was close to a great village and within walking or driving distance of several beaches and tourist type attractions. We would definitely stay at this home again should we come back.
We had a really great stay at this Princeville home. Communications with the Elite management team were excellent. The house was exactly as advertised, and it was extremely clean with some upscale features, and well-stocked with quality cookware, dishes, linens, beach towels, etc. Our group was 2 families with 2 kids each and the house accommodated us very well. Although there were some walkable trails nearby, the ones we found that seemed to go to a beach were pretty overgrown and not safe-looking for kids. So, we mostly drove to other beaches and activities which was fine. The cupboard containing beach equipment was a very nice plus. We have previously stayed on Kauai at the Westin in apartment units with full kitchens that were pretty nice, but this was so much better. Our 2 families have stayed together in many different vacation rental homes on the west coast and hawaii, and this was definitely one of the best!

Such a lovely home! We had a total of 7 adults (ages 18-58) sharing this oasis & it was perfect. The neighborhood is quiet & it is a wonderful location. Walking distance to Queen’s Bath was a huge plus, literally just down the street! We absolutely loved the atmosphere/environment; the gorgeous yard is so lush. Being able to enjoy both the back & front yards with patio/lanai areas for sunrise & mountain views was amazing as well as the hot tub for relaxing after our daily excursions. We were visited by beautiful cardinals as well as the local roosters/chickens that are around the island, ear plugs are good if you are not into the roosters…but we were fine with them. For the inside of the home, the A/C was useful for our time of year, the windows that surround the living area really showed off the beauty of the home as well as the outdoor scenery. For not so hot months, the abundance of windows with screens would be enough to keep the house cool & comfortable. The house was very clean, appliances all in great working order, bathrooms were tidy and stocked well. There are plenty of beach chairs, boogie boards, even a couple of surf boards, lots of sand toys & water gear. The proximity is an easy to drive to the nearby attractions like Hanalei Bay, Tunnels Beach (snorkeling was a must @ Tunnels, sea turtles were hanging out with us for a bit and lots of pretty fish). Surfing and boogie boarding at Kealia Beach was epic. We recommend this home & would definitely book again.

Thank you, Natalie! We’re so glad the home was a perfect fit for your group and that you enjoyed the peaceful setting, lush yard, and easy access to Queen’s Bath and other local spots. It’s wonderful to hear the amenities, views, and thoughtful details made your stay so comfortable. We’d love to welcome you back with Gather for another unforgettable getaway!
We loved the house (Hale Anu Keanu), and the location in Princeville was nice and close to Hanalei Bay where we went every day to surf and relax on the beach. The house is also close to some good hikes and there are a bunch of good restaurants a short drive away. Our family really enjoyed eating outside on the lani and soaking in the hot tub in the back yard. Certainly a place we would love to visit again!
We had a great time at this property. The house is huge with loads of space to spread out or to gather together. The kitchen was well-equipped and we were so happy with the gift basket with some Hawaiian bananas and a papaya!
The beds were comfortable and the showers were good. We didn't use the AC and were happy to leave the window flaps open to get natural air in.
The location is great and surrounded by so much beauty. It was our first introduction to the Kauai roosters and they made us laugh every time we heard them.
The property manager was easy to get hold off and was quick to solve our issues. We were pleased with the support we received.
Would recommend a stay here or at another of their properties.

We recently stayed at Hale Anu Keanu with our extended family. It was a fantastic home base! The layout is great for cooking dinners and relaxing on the back lanai. It's only a short walk to Happy Talk Lounge for those looking for afternoon cocktails, and Makai golf club for those looking for golf. If hiking's your thing, Queens bath is at the end of the street. Very easy acess to Hanalei and the north shore in general. The house is stocked with bikes and beach gear. Will be back!
