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.

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.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a beautiful, lush view! The bey is but a sliver of the gorgeous view. Location is perfect for North Shore. 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!

I thoroughly enjoyed the view of the mountains from the lanai and the pool area was also very pretty. However, on the first night, I reached out to the manager about the fridge having a steady leak and the rooms being hot. Her response was to put a cup of ice in the fridge to help with the leak. She also said to open the window for the Tradewinds. The next day, I let her know the fridge stopped leaking, she never responded back or asked any further how our stay was going. We went to Walmart and bought 2 fans, 1 for the master and 1 for the upstairs area. The upstairs and the master never cooled down the whole week we were there. My son could not sleep in the upstairs area even with the fans. The 2 small bedrooms did get cool, however. Most of the jets in the hot tub did not work during our stay. I attached a photo of it saying low flow and needing repair. There were cobwebs in the property, so I do not think it was throughly cleaned properly before our arrival. I attached a photo of the cobwebs. Overall, I’m giving 3 stars for the beauty of the property. But I am highly disappointed that we spent so much money for this week for our honeymoon, and I was hot most anytime I was in my bedroom, kitchen or living room. Also, disappointed that the manager never corrected the issue. Outside the house, the AC unit for the master was rusted so it needs to be replaced as it is not working.

The house was very large with the most beautiful view of Hanalei Bay and the Na Pali coast and mountains. This house had everything! Abeautiful outdoor covered veranda with multiple loungers, a large eating area and a hot tub. The pool was large and the perfect temperature. The billiards table kept our family entertained for multiple evenings. I can’t not say enough about the size of the house and the large size of the 4 bedrooms. Thank you for letting us use your beautiful home! We will definitely be back!

Hanalei view House

We had an amazing stay at this home! The pool and hot tub was just the icing on the cake! My grandkids were content to stay home! What a blessing to wake and have coffee on the deck looking at the mountains! You felt like you were in the middle of the jungle, with nothing between you and the mountains. Well stocked home. All 11 of us slept quite comfortably!

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!

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.

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.

In addition to the facilities, we’ve never encountered a more personal, responsive, and genuinely caring Hawaii Life “Host” than Liz Grout.In short, a great place for a family gathering!

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!

Fantastic Vacation Home Location With Things To Repair Inside

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: This home has incredible potential due to its location. The Hanalei Bay view and the whole lanai experience in the backyard and in the front around the pool are absolutely majestic! Do not forget to check out the upstairs lanai as well! The bed in the master is one of the most comfortable ones I slept in, including my own. However, other home fixtures are showing their age. All of the sliding doors should be replaced as they simply don’t work as they should. They either slide from their rails or they cannot be properly shut, inviting the mosquitoes or other bugs. A number of water faucets are rusted and there’s a sewer smell from at least two toilets that was there when we entered the place. For $1,400 per night (which includes cleaning and other fees), one would expect better upkeep in this vacation rental.

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.

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.
