This is a unique, architecturally-designed home, thoughtfully appointed and decorated, surrounded by lush gardens, in a beautiful, unique location overlooking Hanalei Bay on Kauai's north shore. If you are into that sort of thing I couldn't recommend it more.

My partner and I stayed here for the week recently. It was exactly as advertised and exactly what we were looking for - a quiet, serene, private, beautiful, and comfortable retreat. We treated this as our destination and spent the days at nearby spots (beaches, hikes, restaurants) or at the house enjoying the space. Thanks you for a wonderful stay Kat!

This home was perfect. Everything you need is already there. The views are spectacular! The house is spaced out so everyone can have privacy if you choose. I loved the indoor outdoor living. This place is a gem.

We very much enjoyed our stay here. Home was beautiful, clean and comfortable. Lanai was a great spot to enjoy a meal, read a book or just stare at the fabulous ocean view. Beds were very comfortable! Kitchen well stocked. We often walked the block to Nourish to enjoy a delicious açaí bowl. Beware the roosters however! Nearby Hanalei was a fun place to visit with beaches, food and shops.

Well stocked kitchen and comfortable bedding. Beautiful views from the patio and into the garden. Roosters start crowing early so be prepared to get up and enjoy the day!

We had the most wonderful and relaxing stay here! The home and gardens are truly a work of art. The place was well equipped with everything we needed for our stay, and the kitchen was stocked with essentials like cooking oil, salt, honey and a few spices. The view from every window was incredible - the balcony overlooks the bay at sunset, and the bedrooms and showers overlook the lush forest. Even without air conditioning, the rooms were cool with fans and breeze from open windows. Down the street from a cute little breakfast spot with an amazing view, and easy walk to a golf course and area with shops and restaurants. Communication with the host was great, too. We were so sad to leave but will cherish the quality time and deep relaxation here always!

We cannot begin to describe how amazing this home is. If you are looking for a zen retreat with the most stunning view of Hanalei Bay sunsets every night, look no further. We were looking for a quiet, peaceful place to stay, away from crowds and we found just that in this beautiful home. Super breezy and cool, spacious, clean, and the owners were communicative, friendly, and super accommodating. HIGHLY recommend this beautiful home! Top 3 coolest places we’ve ever stayed anywhere!

We’ve been on Kauai for a couple weeks jumping around to different properties on the island and nothing is comparing to this home. Location is perfect for those wishing to explore the North Shore or to just hang around the beautiful Hanalei area. The property itself is truly unique, fun design, but still was fantastic for relaxing. It was fun to have a great kitchen to cook up some of the local treasures we found at farmers markets, waking up watching the sunrise while feeling like you’re sleeping in treetops or sitting on the lanai watching some of the most picturesque sunsets I’ve ever seen…anytime we return to Kauai in the future we’ll look to book this property. Check in and checkout process was seamless and host communicative.

My family, friends, and I were so impressed with this home. The flow and energy really created a space that cultivated such comfort and warmth that I'm bummed I only stayed 8 days. We were located close to a beach within walking distance (15 minutes), a couple of minutes to drive to Foodland and other things, and then 10 minutes to Hanalei. I can't wait to visit again and hopefully stay here. We all rate this place a 10 out of 10!!

This is a treasure! The house has an incredible view of Hanalei Bay from the lanai, and location is perfect. In a neighborhood in Princeville, but not in the condo heavy area. Great walk to a coffee/breakfast truck and short, easy hike to a quiet beach. 10 minute drive to Hanalei Bay. The house is nicely furnished with plenty of towels, beach towels, beach chairs and umbrellas, surf and boogie board, and plenty of kitchen supplies. Clean appliances and we loved having a washer and dryer for beach things. Communication with the owner was always timely and the location feels very private. My new favorite place to stay on the North Shore of Kauai!

Our 28 day stay at this special, architect-designed home was everything we hoped for and more. In our experience, it's not often that a vrbo *exceeds* its advertising! Lovely wood inside and out, all well cared for. The screened workout space was perfect. Views from the living areas upstairs are literally 360 degrees from Hanalei Bay to the Napali Cliffs to the waterfalls on more inland mountains. Even the downstairs bedroom showers overlook the jungle stream, all very private. The stream and, often, rain are a constant soft white noise at night which we kinda miss now that we are back home in the snow. We lived on the 2nd floor lanai, watching the waves and sunsets on Hanalei Bay. If we were missing something, Kat or the owner was right there with it. Most days, we walked the quiet nature reserve that's close by, just up Lei O Papa Rd. It's an abandoned disc golf course adjacent to beautiful Makai GC. The broken paved paths are rapidly going back to nature, but aren't muddy after (during!) the warm tropical rains. Foodland is a few minutes' walk away and saved us thousands vs eating out. The Kilauea Phys Ed gym has an affordable month's pass and is a 12 minute drive. This was a breezy, green, beautiful home away from winter. Highly recommend.
Great view without hassles of staying down in Hanalei

Got it. Here's a more natural, human-sounding version in your tone—real, grounded, and honest, like you’re texting a friend:---**Title: Best place we’ve ever stayed—already planning our return**This house was *incredible*. The location couldn’t have been better—just outside the busy Princeville area and literally minutes to Hanalei. It felt super private and peaceful but still close to everything we wanted.I stayed here with my two teens and it was perfect for us. The property itself is really unique—definitely not your typical rental. It actually looks better than the photos, which is saying a lot. We spent so much time out on the balcony just staring out at the view. One of my favorite parts was getting a massage in the yoga room with the doors open and the breeze coming in. Total reset.It’s an easy walk to the beach, 1 Hotel, and Nourish Cafe (go there, trust me). The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and absolutely beautiful.There wasn’t a ton of extra stuff like a welcome basket or anything, but there was some beach gear and everything was clean and well taken care of. No issues at all while we were there.This place would be amazing for a small family, a couple, or a few friends. It’s seriously one of the best places we’ve ever stayed and I’d go back in a second.
