5 Bedroom Open Plan with Ocean Views, Queens Bath, Bali Hai, and Golf Course

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2empvqbOT4

Whale Hale is a spacious 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath home proudly perched on the bluff above Queens Bath in Princeville, Kauai' where you can see and hear the ocean. From the grand entry staircase to the family friendly living rooms and game room this home was designed to suit large parties or intimate gatherings. This 3,800 square foot home has gorgeous views from every window. It's a short hike down to the Queens Bath where you can swim in a natural ocean pool (summer months). There are views of the golf course and ocean views on 3 sides of the house!

Three bedrooms have a private en-suite bathroom. This home is stylishly furnished and every effort has been made to accommodate your needs. We've even included beach towels, beach chairs and snorkel gear for use during your stay.

The upstairs area includes a full service kitchen with a gas cooktop plus another full electric range, two dishwashers and a large pantry. A center island provides plenty of work surface for multiple cooks in the kitchen. And there are granite countertops throughout. The enormous open plan airy room has a vaulted ceiling. Additionally there is a game room for loads of indoor fun.

One of the bedrooms is upstairs with an ensuite bathroom and views of the mountains, golf course, and ocean. This room has a Queen bed.

The other four bedrooms are on the ground level. They comprise 2 master suites and two bedrooms with 2 single beds each. These single rooms can be converted to Kings for a fee of $150 per bedroom. The single bedrooms have a separate guest bath to share. One of the master suites looks like a small studio with a private sitting area.

Outdoor amenities allow you to enjoy our amazing Kauai weather and views. In the back yard, facing the ocean, is a free standing spa pool with jets that can accommodate up to 10 people. There are sitting areas on all 3 decks with an outdoor living sofa set on the back lanai overlooking the ocean. The large front deck boasts views of the golf course and beach and includes a large dining table with oversized bistro umbrella. This is a perfect area to enjoy sunset cocktails and dinner. There is also a ping pong table in the garage which will allow for hours of fun - especially when we're having one of our tropical showers that keep the garden island green and lush.

You will be conveniently located in the community of Princeville. Within one and a half miles are two world class golf courses, several beaches, the Princeville Shopping Center and the St. Regis Princeville Resort with its amazing restaurants and beach. A short drive in either direction allows you to enjoy all that Hanalei Bay has to offer as well as surfing, diving, snorkeling, kayaking, hiking, horseback riding and helicopter tours.

We know you'll enjoy your stay at our modern Hawaiian Home and look forward to making your stay perfect!

Special Graduates Vacation

Beautiful setting on the point. Not many places in the world where you can see the sunrise and sunset from the same house. Well stocked with essentials. Plenty of room for 9 of us. Great cross breeze through the house. So lovely to hear the periodic rain and many birds. It was a fantastic, well-earned getaway for our young adults. Memories they will never forget! Thank you. Aloha!

Absolutely gorgeous!

We had a fantastic time. The property manager was very kind and responsive. The home is absolutely perfect. A short walk across the street and you get the most amazing sunset view from the golf course overlooking the bay and the mountains. It was breathtaking. The waves sang us to sleep each night. We had a wonderful time just relaxing at the house, playing games and ending the day in the spa tub. We are already planning our next visit.

Fabulous family stay!!

Hideaways Beach was awesome and so convenient. We enjoyed stargazing at night and whale watching during the day on the back deck. Plenty of room for our multigenerational family,of 10. The house and surrounding area exceeded expectations, which were high.

The house is set up to accommodate a large group but is very family friendly, family members of all ages. The views are spectacular from both sides of the house, watching the ocean to watching the golfers. We had such a great time and would love to come back.

Incredible

As soon as you walk in, you know it’s a special place. The views are spectacular and the house was well stocked with everything a family may need. Just steps from Queen’s bath, which was such a treat for the kids to go and swim there in the mornings (make sure to only go in low tide!). Staying here made for an unforgettable vacation. Will always remember watching the sunrise from the gorgeous lanai.

Great views! Well stocked kitchen and baths… plenty of space for all of us. Hot tub was working marginally- could only use it a couple nights. But loved the sunrises and sunsets on the patios, and meals on the front porch overlooking Bali Hai was spectacular.

Beautiful home on a beautiful island

There were 8 of us at Whale Hale and we all had such an amazing time. The kids loved the swim spa and the air hockey table. The breeze from the tradewinds felt so good. The beds were comfortable. I loved grilling with a view of Hanalei and the gorgeous purple sunset. Everything about the house was perfect. 10/10 would recommend and would absolutely stay again!

Fantastic property in great location

My family and I had an amazing time in Princeville at this beautiful property. The views of both the mountain range overlooking Hanalei Bay and the Pacific Ocean are breathtaking. The house itself was fully stacked with all the amenities we needed for a more than comfortable stay with a full kitchen, outdoor grill, heated jacuzzi, and even had a wide range of beach toys available for us to use. Highly recommend this property for families or large groups.

Family and Fun

The house was beautiful! The view was awesome, saw a lot of whales. The only disappointing factor was there was no pool table which was pictured in the posting. Tons of Beach amenities which was very helpful. Fully stocked kitchen, paper goods. The hot tub was great. We had a great time and Lia and Tanya were great communicators.

Perfect family vacation

We had seen pictures of this house online, but when we walked in we were still amazed. It's absolutely stunning, and the views are breathtaking. We loved sitting on the lanais, drinking coffee, and relaxing. We also enjoyed the pool, air hockey and ping pong tables. There were 5 adults and 4 children in our group and these were things we could all do together. Thank you for sharing your spacious and beautiful home with us.

Beautiful house & views

This house acrually surpassed our expectations …which never happens in rentals. The views were beyond amazing and the house itself in pristine conditions. I really enjoyed the lack of clutter throughout that you often see in VRBO properties. It was clean, neat & updated. Also the beach chairs, towels, coolers, etc were a nice add. Did I mention the 12 person hot tub????

Kauai Adventure

Overall communications and property were stellar. Our combined family’s group of nine never felt crowded, ample space for all and the location allowed us to have morning outings, regroup and head back out for remainder of the day which included sunsets every evening Spectacular views from both sides of the house provided sunrise and sunset vistas! Spacious and well appointed, even had 2 washers and dryers- a great feature. Overall, highly recommend this property - only callout was the hot tub, couldn’t get jets or lights to turn on but never reached out to property manager as it was our very last evening but not a deal breaker— fantastic stay!

Perfect vacation house

Why did we absolutely LOVE this house? Let me count the ways, not necessarily in order… 1. Location- Princeville is upscale, quiet, close to beaches and Hanalei. It is paradise and by far our favorite place on the island. Saturdaytheyhad a coolfarmers market upthe road at Makai Golf Course where we got tropical flowers and fruits. 2. Views- the back lanai looked over the ocean for miles and we saw waves crash into lava rock below. This was the number one place we hung out. (Isaw whales first time ever! And front lanai at Hanalei Bay and Bali mountains. The family was blown away by the sunset and surroundings. 3. Amenities- the Kitchen had every appliance and gadget one could need! We grilled on the gas grill in the garage too. With 2 dishwashers and washer dryer sets this was convenient for our big group. There was air hockey and ping pong but didnt use those because the weather was amazing. 4. Space- we had 7 and never felt crowded. Huge kitchen, dining with tons of windows and natural light. Plenty of space everywhere. 5. Toys- tons of snorkel gear, chairs, coolers, towels, floaties. 6. Clean and new- for the most part it felt like a new home. Modern and lovely furnishings. 7. The geckos- pretty green and blue ones sunbathe daily on the front deck. A+ we would stay here again no hesitation!
