About this property

Ocean View Luxury Vacation Home

This may be the Hawaiian vacation rental of your dreams. Discover Kauai and the North Shore of Kauai overlooking the outer portions of Hanalai Bay, the Bali Hai and the ocean view holes of the Makai golf course. This vacation rental has not only these water, mountain and golf course views, but proximity to Queen’s Bath, local beaches, and the Princeville shopping center, all within walking distance via Princeville’s walking and biking paths.

Views are from a 1200 square foot covered lanai, complete with dining and high-top bar tables, BBQ, an intimate conversation pit and hot tub, coupled with near constant trade winds and spectacular sunsets at the end of each day. Beyond the lanai’s almost unbelievable setting and views, the elevated lanai hot tub is a special feature unique to this home, combining to make this house and lanai either the highlight of your vacation experience or in line with all the other ‘over the top’ vacation experiences you will experience while visiting Kauai.

Adjacent to the lanai is the living room, indoor bar, kitchen and more formal indoor dining areas, co-located in an open, high vaulted ceiling space. The living room and dining room are connected to the lanai via large multi-panel sliding glass doors. The living room has a large TV, a large sectional sofa, swivel side chairs, and a fireplace seldom needed at a location enjoying 70 to 80F day and night temperatures.

The large gourmet kitchen with center island is a place from which the chef will shine. The center island with seating for four is for all to enjoy food, drink, and conversation while the culinary experience is developing, with the chef having both social contact and all that is needed to work his or her magic within arms-length. Indoor dining has seating for eight, with lanai dining having seating for six and an adjacent high-top bar with seating for another six.

There is a mid-level master bedroom and bath. The master bedroom has a new articulated Tempurpedic king size bed and large screen Smart TV. The master bath has an enclosed pebble-based shower, dual sink vanity, and ‘Smart’ bidet toilet.
Downstairs has two more bedrooms and a large den with Murphy bed. The den has a large screen TV surrounded by a large sectional sofa, a game / dining table and office space. This room is a great place for our guests to pursue other activities, separate from those enjoying the upper-level / lanai experience.

Downstairs is connected to an outdoor shower and an outdoor patio with a seating / conversation area, and ‘a tropical paradise’ hammock for your special kick back time.

The lanai, patio, and almost every room in the house has a ceiling fan and nearly constant trade winds for comfort. And to mitigate the infrequent much warmer weather in the evenings, all bedrooms are air conditioned with independent control of AC for each room.
Each bedroom has an associated full bath, with den occupants sharing one of two downstairs bathrooms.

There is beach equipment and bicycles for guest use, in addition to the fully equipped kitchen and other amenities to create and enhance your vacation experience. Basic paper goods, linens and towels are provided, requiring just food, drink, clothes, personal effects and a sense of adventure to enjoy all that Kauai has to offer.

Hawaii Life Rentals is a locally owned, licensed real estate company with rentals on Kauai, Maui, Oahu, and Hawaii. We offer on-island personal assistance and Concierge services.

Rates do not include taxes, cleaning and applicable fees.

As beautiful as the pictures!

This property was stunning and the host has really thought of everything. My party of 6 stayed for 6 nights and we were so sad to leave. It had all the amenities that it lists, was clean, easy to access, easy parking and so so beautiful. The extra option to bike around Princeville and hike down to Queen's Bath from the driveway was even more special and unexpected. Highly recommend!!

Great stay

We had a wonderful time. The property was very well situated and well appointed. Even though it’s not air-conditioned we were generally always comfortable because of the prevailing breezes and how well ventilated the house was. Overall it was a great experience and the property manager was very responsive.

Amazing week in Kauai

We had an amazing family vacation in Kauai! The house was perfect for our family with three adult children. We enjoyed the views from the lanai every sunrise and sunset. We had plenty of room for everyone and could have easily brought several more! I felt that the pictures where a very good representation of what the house is like! We would definitely stay here again!

Amazing view

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The views are even better than the pictures do justice. We so enjoyed watching the sunset over Hanalei Bay. The house was spacious with a lovely kitchen. The location was great for getting into Hanalei but also other beaches closer to Kapa'a and there is a grocery store nearby. There were beach chairs, some snorkeling gear and boogie boards, which were all very useful and appreciated. The biggest downside was that the jacuzzi was not working, which our family was excited about using. But overall it was wonderful and we would recommend.

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 picked the location hoping for views and sounds of the ocean. We hit the jackpot on both. Amazing views from back porch and northern waves crashing rocks gently 24x7. Exactly what we hoped for. Family loved the house, the patio, kitchen, game room, and overall location. We drove to beach and also hiked from the house. A great vacation and we will be back!!

Amazingly equipped property and amazing views!

We had an excellent stay. The views are of course stunning, with mountain, golf course, ocean and garden views. The property is very well equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, furniture, and utensils. The attention to detail was impressive; clearly the owners must have lived there or spend time there themselves to have appointed it so well. We barely had to contact the host/manager for anything. There were detailed instructions or markings for everything. We saw some beautiful full triple rainbows one morning. The sunsets are beautiful, but since we were out most days during that time, we could enjoy it only one evening. The outdoor upper floor hot tub was indeed one of the highlights. The house was so spacious, we barely used all the areas. In fact we didn’t use the very nice living area in the lower floor at all! We would love to come back and stay there.

Perfect vacation home!

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 has EVERYTHING you want in a vacation home. Great location close to the Princeville shopping center and Hanalei for shopping and restaurants. Close to many beaches to either hike to (Secret Beach, Puu Poa) or drive to Anini with easy access for families.The picture perfect views from the huge lanai are so relaxing and are the place to be for sunset. The kitchen is well stocked with spices and everything needed to cook family meals or pack picnics. The owners have decorated the house with tasteful artistic flair and comfortable furniture. No cheap plastic chairs on the lanai! Games, puzzles and tv’s for evening entertainment. Wireless chargers and a Bluetooth speaker are provided. They thought of everything. Plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, hiking poles and snorkeling gear. Also two bikes are available. The best rental we have stayed at!

Hawaiian getaway

Our family stayed at this great home in Princeville. Gorgeous property in every way. Situated directly across the street from Queens Bath path/parking lot, so very busy street especially in July. But from the inside, you would not notice the constant stream of people at all. We loved “our” beach by the resort (which is fully under construction). Loved the walk there. Great location for long morning strolls, discovering the nooks and crannies of this little slice of Princeville. The house was super cozy for the four of us, parents and two teens. Plenty of room for more. The balcony overlooking the golf course and ocean was beautiful for morning coffee and a spectacular spot for gorgeous sunsets. Kitchen is fully stocked for cooking/grilling. Kauai is chock full of tourists, and lines are long, restaurants packed, not to mention places are short staffed due to Covid. So be patient and have a plan B. Many of the popular hikes require permits too - so search places out before you go. Just be prepared. I wish the hot tub were working. It wasn’t, and it was one of the things we were looking forward to. But no biggie. Overall it was a great stay.

Wonderful property, spectacular views!

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: Our family of 4 visited for a week in mid-May. We were thrilled with this property - A/C in each bedroom and the family room in lower level with the Murphy bed was much needed during our stay for night-time comfort - otherwise we got along fine with open windows during day. After checking in and several days on the North side of the island, we decided it was a great choice as less traffic, beautiful beaches and undebatable views of sunset. We never used the hot tub (we have one at home). We sat on the deck daily. Kitchen well-stocked with everything we needed - plenty of kitchenware so you don't have to constantly wash dishes and glasses - though we kept everything clean to avoid any pests and never had an issue. Lots of pots/pans for cooking, store close by and great mgmt company response when the battery in the combo lock for garage needed replacing so we could get in and grab gear. Having the snorkel equip was great too! Walk to Queens Bath (across street) and to Hideaway Beach. We drove to Waimea Canyon, did waterfall hikes, snorkel, scuba and a coastal boat/snorkel tour. Recommend Tunnels Beach to snorkel as 2 reefs to explore. Super clean and comfortable beds. Our whole family was happy - everyone had own beds and the 3 3/4 baths were fabulous for us. Would definitely recommend!

Great house in Princeville

Wow! Wow! Wow! The house is beautifully decorated, perfectly cleaned and the property mgmt. company provided everything needed. The real highlight is the lanai and the view. Waterfalls in the mountains, coastline ocean view and beautiful outdoor landscaping sitting on the side of a hill were magnificent. We spent hours sitting out on the lanai and enjoying the almost daily rainbows, sunsets and even the rain showers. We found we enjoyed eating meals outside on the lanai more than eating at restaurants. We were able to navigate the Hanalei daily road closures without impacting our activities and even though it rained everyday, the rain never affected our activities. You can't get any more convenient a location for Queen's Bath. The Princeville grocery store is convenient but you need a rental car (Uber/Lyft/taxis were in short supply). The downstairs living room worked perfectly as a 4th bedroom for us. The beach towels and other items were also appreciated and used. It did get a little warm in the late afternoon (without A/C) but the ceiling fans, coastal breeze and cool beverages overcame any discomfort. It was never too warm at bedtime. Hawaii Life Vacations really gets the vacation property management business. They provided all the details needed, required little to no follow up questions and provided suggestions and great laminated guidelines that didn't feel like lawyer written liability waivers. Bravo Hawaii Life! I was going to knock one star off this review when we found out that the hot tub was broken, but the house is just too good not to give it 5 stars. Kauai does not disappoint and Princeville is a great master planned upscale neighborhood. Enjoy!

Great location, incredible lanai, amazing views!

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: We had a very seamless rental experience at the Punahele home. Our group was two families (including two toddlers and an infant), staying here for a week.Overall, this is a well-equipped and very clean house in an incredible location. The kitchen was excellent, and the lanai mind-blowing. If you like cooking with friends and eating outdoors while watching the sun set over the ocean, stay here.Only a few nits keep us from a solid 5 stars. First is lack of climate control. While individual rooms have small AC units, we had problems getting them to function consistently. The house has special windows to let the breeze in, but if you aren't used to heat and humidity -- and/or choose to stay here during the heat of summer (we visited in June) -- you might be uncomfortable.Second, the house does not come with amenities for small children (pack and play/cribs, high chairs, booster seats, etc). We brought our own so this wasn't a big deal, but plan to do the same (or rent) if you are staying with small children.Finally, there appears to be a small electrical issue with the hot tub. Pro tip: check it the day before you intend to use it to make sure it's on and heating the water. We found it off/cold because the fuse had been tripped, and it took a long time to reheat. Not a big deal (we found the box and reset the circuit) but a bit disappointing to not have it functional when you're in your swimsuit holding a cold beer.Overall, a fantastic experience. We would stay here again!
