Amazing Princeville Experience

My mother, brother, husband and I stayed at the the property for a week. We walked and rode the bikes to beaches, used the snorkel equipment, had picnics on the beaches and sat on the lanai (a lot!), reading, playing games and eating. It is a wonderful site to base out of to explore the North Shore! I would give it a 6/5 if I could! Liz was amazing, responsive, helpful. The best that I have worked with so far!

Beautiful stay in Kauai

We really enjoyed staying at this beautiful house in Kauai. It was so nice to have a well stocked kitchen with everything you would need. The outdoor area was perfect to relax in. There was plenty of room for all five of us. The neighborhood is very nice and we enjoyed walking in the evenings. All around, a great place to stay and enjoy Kauai!

Great Kaua'i Getaway

The pictures don't do the house justice, great location, very nice house and good sized rooms. You're close to beaches, pickle ball courts, stores, and eateries. Well equipped kitchen to eat in and grill also. Lots of beach towels, snorkeling gear, beach chairs, boogie boards and bikes to get around in. Definitely will use again!! Barbara

Wonderful place

Great house for our family of 4, enough room to spread out but still cozy. Kitchen has everything you need, fans (and trade winds) keep the place cool, and it’s within easy walking/biking distance to several nice beaches and Princeville Center restaurants/shopping. Quiet and relaxing!

Our stay was perfect

The owner took care of my questions plus much more. The property worked for us just right. We tried everything we could fit in a week. Don't miss the shaved ice or the holo holo tour of the Napoli coast. We hope to visit again.

Comfortable and quiet home away from home!

This home is very convenient for a stay on the North Shore with a view of the mountains and a peek at the ocean. The beds are comfy and the kitchen nicely equipped for simple food preparations. We enjoyed the walks to the beach and the cliff view. Liz communicates well and responded quickly to our questions. This is a great value for a family or small group, with plenty of privacy.

Great house and location

Bottom line up front - this house was perfect for our stay, clean, well kept, and in a great location. I would absolutely stay here again. One thing I was curious to see how it worked out was the solar integration with the water heater. It worked great. The hot water takes a second to kick in, but when it does it’s hot! We were able to take six showers back to back without any hint of the hot water fading out. We used the beach chairs, boogie boards, cooler, and snorkel gear every day. It’s all in great shape and made for very enjoyable days.

Comfy, clean, and fun!

We spent a week in Kauai and found the house to be perfect for our family. It was well stocked with fun beach toys that really enhanced our stay ( the yellow boogie board will have a special place in our family history since our four year old fell in love with boogie boarding on it :) . The kitchen had everything you could want and more and the overall feel of the place was warm and welcoming . Liz was super helpful and we can't wait to come back!

Dream stay Kauai

Our group of 6 adults stayed at Liz’s place in Princeville for 8 days. The house is beautiful clean and perfect location to enjoy Kauai North shore. We cooked breakfast and dinner everyday and enjoyed our evenings and mornings spending time together around the table. There are tons of beach towels and snorkel gear. We walked to Queens Bath Beach and Sealodge beach several times. Both beaches are amazing. Sealodge was great for snorkeling and we saw several sea turtles. Quiet place to relax. Nearby grocery store.

A comfortable, quiet place

We've stayed here three times and we're planning to go back. The house is on a quiet cul de sac with a yard and huge lawn in the park area. The house was great for the kids with all the outdoor area. The house is very comfortable with a fully stocked kitchen, linens, cd & dvd's, games, puzzles, and an assortment of beach supplies(chairs, masks, snorkels, etc). This is so much better than a hotel because we can pull into the garage and we're home! This in a quiet area of Princeville away from the main roads. It's close to the beautiful beaches in North Shore. We're looking forward to staying there again.

Wonderful house in Princeville!

We were a family of 6 adults celebrating a family reunion and this place was perfect! The owner, Liz, provided accurate and useful information and quick replies to any questions. The house was immaculate and in a quiet neighborhood near a beautiful walking path, bike route and stores. The kitchen had every item you could imagine and we enjoyed eating outside on the patio. The house was spacious enough to allow people private space as well as hotly contested board games( discovered upstairs in the house). We loved every minute of our stay and would highly recommend this house to anyone visiting the North Shore

Beautiful vacation home!

Traveling with 3 girlfriends, this home was the perfect get away for us! We had a tremendous amount of space to interact or be by ourselves with the spacious living area, 3 beautifully appointed bedrooms and two full baths! The addition of two patios made it even more appealing! The fabulous kitchen was perfect for two of us who love to cook - we were able to create great meals with our friends sitting at the counter chatting and drinking wine while we cooked! Wonderful neighborhood, quiet and close to everything - the beach, shops, grocery store and golf courses and of course luau's and zip lining and so much more!!

North side Paradise

Loved the Kauai vacation home rental. Princeville is a great safe home base to explore the North side of the island. Here you will find some of the best hiking and beaches all within a 1/2 hour drive. Some are even just a short walk from the property. On the North side you have to work a bit harder to access some of the beaches, but the payoff is worth it. Tunnels, Sea Lodge, and Ke’e offered some of the best snorkeling. Queens Bath was difficult to get to, but the views were amazing. Quick 10 drive brings you to Hanalei Bay. This is the perfect house for a family of six. Highly recommend!!!

Perfect Princeville Vacation Home

Our stay was amazing! The neighborhood location was perfect as a home base for our family. We were so close to Hanalei and with easy access to Kapa’a and other towns farther south on the island. Liz was easy to get ahold of if we had questions and was always quick to reply.We like to cook dinner at home (even on vacation), and the kitchen had everything we needed, including all the baking pans and a rolling pin so we could bake our Christmas cookies. There was even a rice cooker (a huge hit for our family).We are a family of 5 (mom, dad and 3 daughters - 2 teenagers and a tween). The room situation was great, and the outdoor shower was a big plus. The loft was nice for extra space to spread out and is where we played games at night. There were plenty of tv’s with all the streaming services we needed, and we never had issues with the WiFi connection.Another big plus were all the beach supplies in the garage: beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, buckets and shovels to play in the sand, snorkel gear - the list goes on. We brought our own beach towels, but the house had them as well.We are long time VRBO renters, and I have to say, this house had everything we needed and more. I’ve never stayed in a vacation rental that included so much. Do yourself a favor and choose this home! You won’t be disappointed.

Beautiful home

House was beautiful!! Liz and Dave thought of everything. There are bikes, snorkel gear, umbrellas and chairs in the garage, among many others! The scenery is beautiful and centrally located in Princeville. Love that the house is environmentally friendly. Only surprise was that there was no AC but that is on me for not thoroughly reading the listing. With the fans going and windows for a cross breeze it really was not too bad! Thanks for the great stay!

Our family's favorite house!

Our family traveled to 4 different islands over the holidays and stayed in 6 different houses during that time (too many if you need to know but lesson learned for next time). We chose this house for the days leading up to and after Christmas and it was perfect. The hosts even put up a Christmas tree for us! IIt was everyone's favorite house of the trip. Comfortable, well equipped, lots of space but still cozy and all sorty of amenities to borrow - cooler, boogie boards, snorkle gear, etc. And how could I forget about the outdoor shower?! The grounds were beautiful as was the neighborhood and every neighbor we talked with was so friendlly. Perfection!

About the host

Host profile image
I love the outdoors...especially beaches! Kauai has the most spectacular beaches and they are all public! Having a busy life with work and family, Kauai is my retreat to just relax and let go. I love the people, the scenery and the weather...I am from Buffalo NY so you can understand that!!

Why they chose this property

My husband and I fell in love with Kauai in 1995 and decided to buy a home to retire here. The area is great for hiking, kayaking, every kind of water sport, biking and has a very nice community feeling. Princeville has everything you need; shopping, restaurants, beaches, library, parks, bike paths and a great group of residents! Once we are ready to retire we will make it our home!

What makes this property unique

Kauai's North Shore is a beautiful tropical area with a lot of character, its unique beaches, spectacular hikes and meandering rivers for Kayaking or paddle boarding. It is a laid back, relaxed area for a tranquil rejuvenating vacation. It truly is paradise, once you come you will want to return!
