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.

A Place for Five
It was fun staying in a Hawaiian house in a real neighborhood. We loved the location. The house was beautiful, very clean, and comfortable for the five of us. While we were there we enjoyed hiking, snorkeling at a few different beaches, dining out, visiting farmers markets and the nearby town of Princeville. Thank you for letting us stay there.

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.

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

Beautiful house in great location
This is a very comfortable and well furnished house with more than anything you would need. Kitchen has tons of stuff and garage is packed with snorkeling gear and bicycles and more. Walk to a secluded beach (read instructions carefully) and to Queen’s Bath. Easy driving distance to all North Shore towns, beaches, and activities. Make sure to book a reservation if you want to walk the Na Pali Coast trail (we didn’t so couldn’t go but saw other great places). Took some adjusting to not having A/C as we’re kinda wimps but just kept the windows open to cool things down. The breeze made it work out. Lots of tips in the books and guides for local sights and food. Easy grocery shopping nearby. Would definitely stay here again but for longer.

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.

Amazing Princeville Vacation Home
We stayed in this beautiful home for a week while visiting the island of Kauai. Checking in was easy. We were provided the code for the lock box via text. The house was well equipped with beach chairs, beach towels, snorkel gear, and even bicycles. The kitchen had everything you would need to make a quick dinner. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms plus a loft area. Plenty of room for our family of five. The house was clean and comfortable. We went walking in the neighborhood every morning and even met the neighbors who were very friendly. Our young adult kids loved the outdoor shower and used it every morning. I enjoyed having tea on the lanai and listening to the birds. The house was a perfect home base for our family. Kilauea and Hanalei are close by where there are restaurants and shops. The Princeville Foodland was also convenient for groceries. We visited the Kilauea Lighthouse, Haena State Park, Ke'e Beach, the Limahuli Garden, the Hanalei Farmers market, Hanalei Bay, and even hiked to the Na Pali Lookout on the Kalalau Trail. We ate dinner a Kalypsos, Tahiti Nui and Hanalei Gourmet. We took the chocolate tour at the Princevillle Botanical Garden. We went to Luau Kalamaku at the KIlohana Plantation, and zip lined with Kauai Backcountry Adventure. We loved every minute of our stay on Kauai. It was amazing! Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your lovely Princeville home. We highly recommend this property for anyone looking to stay in the Princeville area

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 Paradise
What a beautiful house we stayed at in Princeville! We loved the outdoor shower, the extremely well stocked kitchen for cooking, and garage for beach toys. Liz has literally thought about everything!!! The neighborhood was amazing; quiet and safe with nice helpful neighbors. We loved seeing the Albatross nesting, and also being so close to Hanalei Bay. The quiet streets were perfect for morning walks/runs. The house was also extremely clean with comfortable beds, and it was so helpful to have a washer and dryer too! Kudos to Liz for being one of the best hosts we have ever had on VRBO. If we ever come back to Kauai we wouldn't hesitate to book this again!

Great location, spacious for family of 4
We traveled with my daughters 10 & 12, my husband and myself to the North shore to stay 4 nights in Princeville. After having stayed in Poipu at a hotel for a few nights, we were so happy to have plenty of space to spread out at this property. I loved waking up to the back yard view from the master bedroom, hearing the birds and Hawaiian sounds. The neighborhood is great—location ideal to getting to Hanalei, and especially walking to a couple prize beaches. They had everything on hand that we needed—beach towels, chairs, sand toys, boogie boards. We had everything we needed in the kitchen, and more! We loved the big “park” behind their backyard where we threw a football. The outdoor shower was my favorite part! Very attentive and responsive hosts. Hard to leave…

Perfect Princeville Home!
If you want to stay on the north side of Kauai, stop your search and book this home now. It is such a lovely place and accommodated our family (2 adults, 4 kids) perfectly. The decor is tropical and comfortable. We really felt at home. The kitchen is well stocked, the grill came in handy, and the grocery is nearby. Maybe the most special part of the property is the yard. Though there are neighbors, it was quiet and the backyard is so private. You feel like you have your own slice of paradise! We saw many birds, frogs, lizards, and a few snails. There is also access to an open field right out back that’s great for kids to stretch their legs, kick a ball around, etc. The outdoor shower is convenient for washing the beach sand away, and you can see the mountains! The home is an easy drive to Hanalei Bay, which is perfect for swimming, relaxing, etc. This home had more beach supplies than we could have ever made use of! In summary, I spent hours and hours researching possible vacation homes as we planned our Kauai trip, and this property exceeded our expectations!

Loved our 2 week stay - Wish we could stay a lifetime!
We loved our stay in Princeville. The island of Kauai is nothing short of paradise. My family of 6 loved the home and would stay again without hesitation. The house is fully equipped and situated in a cozy cul de sac. The home owner left an array of island information that was helpful (make sure to visit Sealodge beach). The beds were comfortable and we had no issues at all. We used the bikes and beach equipment. Enjoyed great meals outside on the patio and falling asleep to the sound of the rain was so peaceful. The owner was responsive and helpful when we reached out to her. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

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!

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!
