Pohaku Villa: Gorgeous Home w/AC, Pool, Relaxing Lanai Area & Garden Views

Welcome to Pohaku Villa, a beautiful four-bedroom, three-bathroom Princeville vacation rental residence with a private pool, air conditioned bedrooms and lush landscaping. You'll relax into vacation mode the moment you enter this cozy yet elegant island getaway.

Nestled into a picturesque tropical setting where garden and mountain views abound, Pohaku Villa has stylish decor with unique living areas. Earthy flagstone tile, vaulted wood beam ceilings, and warm neutral tones grace the living room. Plentiful windows reveal the beauty of indigenous foliage. Unwind on the living room sectional or stroll outside to the covered wrap-around lanai and take in the splendor of the outdoors.
The gorgeous, well-equipped kitchen at Pohaku Villa makes meal preparation a delight. Whether you're inspired to cook a gourmet feast or bring in takeout, you'll find everything you need. Enjoy your meals in the adjoining dining area or al fresco on the covered lanai.

Pohaku Villa has four comfortably appointed bedrooms — three upstairs and one downstairs — perfectly furnished for peaceful nights of sleep. All four bedrooms offer air conditioning, ceiling fans, televisions, and lots of windows. The primary bedroom is upstairs and features an en suite bathroom, a California king bed with Intellibed mattress, and a private lanai. The upstairs kids' room has three twin beds and a futon couch/bed. The upstairs guest room shares a hallway bath with the kids' room and features a California king luxury Stearns & Foster mattress. The downstairs guest bedroom also has a California king luxury Stearns & Foster mattress and an armchair.

Please see our photos, which include plans for the brand-new private pool and tropical landscaping at Pohaku Villa. You'll also find an open-air shower, an abundance of outdoor seating, a gas grill, and an expansive yard with fruit trees. Be sure to check the avocado, orange, and Meyer lemon trees to see if any fruit is ripe! When you're ready for a trip to the beach, Pohaku Villa is furnished with beach chairs, umbrellas, and a cooler. When you return, the lanai will provide a soothing place to rest.

As a bonus, Pohaku Villa has a classic video arcade game with hundreds of vintage games to try. Two full-size washers and dryers are also provided for your convenience. Pohaku Villa has an oversized driveway and a two-car attached garage. An electric-lock front door creates additional convenience during your stay.

There's plenty to see and do in and around this north shore Kauai vacation rental home. Pohaku Villa is located in Princeville next to a large open area with a park, and within walking distance of shopping and dining, hula performances, lei making, and live entertainment nightly at Princeville Center. Nearby, you can also take the garden walk and chocolate tour at Princeville Botanical Gardens, kayak on the Wailua River, or try a horseback riding excursion at Princeville Ranch. No matter how you and your guests spend your time, you'll love the comfort and location of Pohaku Villa.

Please be advised that pool heat is NOT included in the rental rate. If you are interested in heating the pool, kindly contact us for more details regarding our pool heat policy. Also note that not all pools on Kauai have the option for heating. Please do NOT assume that pools are automatically heated for guests.

Note About Seasonal Gnats

We want to ensure guests are aware that during the winter months in Hawaii, gnats are naturally more prevalent due to the tropical climate. These tiny insects are attracted to light and are especially common in lush, green areas like ours. While we take every measure to maintain the property, their presence is a natural part of the environment and beyond our control.

To minimize their impact during your stay:

Keep doors and windows closed as much as possible.
Ensure screens are securely in place. Please note, however, that some gnats are so small they may get through even the finest mesh screens.

We appreciate your understanding as you experience the natural beauty of Hawaii’s unique ecosystem.

Three generations of our family had the perfect vacation in this home. Based on the pictures and information available online, our expectations were high, and in every case, they were exceeded. We loved this home, the location and the care that was taken in the details to make our stay comfortable. It couldn’t have been better. Thank you

Wonderful Pohaku Villa

Our multi-generation family of 10 had a wonderful 10 day stay at Pohaku Villa. The house was well organized and stocked with everything needed for our comfort, especially appreciated the air conditioning in the bedrooms. The outside lanai area and pool for the boys provided a relaxing way to end the day after beach activities. Our group concurred that Pohaku Villa was the best vacation home we have rented!

Amazing Location for Mom’s 80th Bday

The house was wonderful! It had enough room for two families and my mom. We loved how it was in walking distance of the shopping center and the Saturday Farmer’s Market. Everything in the house was clean and beautiful. We were all very sad to leave and hope to stay there again one day!

Fantastic home!!

We stayed here with extended family totaling 9 for our beach wedding and it was absolutely perfect!!! The home is gorgeous and there is space for everyone: a huge wrap-around lanai, fully stocked kitchen where we cooked breakfast and most dinners and even plenty of beach equipment. From tweens to teens to adults, everyone had an amazing and memorable vacation. Thank you for opening your home to us….we will be back!

We had a great time. Thank you!

The home was very clean and well stocked. A lot of extra towels, beach towels and the kitchen had everything except a waffle maker. Very well stocked for a rental kitchen. It also had a lot of beach chairs and a ping pong table. The pool was small, however everyone enjoyed it. The outside area was wonderful to play games at night. We had a wonderful time!!

Great Space for Family

If you are looking for a great home to spend with your family in Princeville then this is the place. Had everything you needed and more. Space was ideal for our family traveling with a baby. Yen, the property contact was awesome. Very accommodating when needed. The management company also offered concierge services to add to the experience. Pool was a great addition although didn't really get to use it much. Nice overall quiet location. Next to a park that offered a Saturday Farmers Market. Only drawback, downstairs flooring is a polished flagstone that made it very rough on the feet and concerning for an infant crawling. Although the baby didn't seem to mind much but we did, tender feet. ;) However, overall we had a great time. We would stay there again.

Housekeeping

Location and management of the stay were all excellent. Our only real issues had to do with housekeeping. When we arrived there were two bathrooms that were not clean. Shower had "hairball" in drain, another had unclean toilet and wall around toilet. The living room rug had cracker crumbs all over it. The most DANGEROUS issue was the condition of the bbq - the grease trap and grille had not been cleaned and caused a flash fire when first lit. Could have been a very significant fire affecting the house itself, Minor issues - television and oven/microwave need printed instructions.

Kauai Dream House

This house was everything described and more! We first got there in the pouring rain. This one lasted maybe 10 minutes. 🤣 The longest shower we had all week! The little rain catchers around the property were great sounding and fun to watch. The pool was perfect to have with our 5 and 9 year old boys. It made things very easy for us to end busy days touring or at the beach (Hanalei Bay like 15 minutes away) by jumping into the pool upon returning. There was even an outdoor shower to rinse off the sand! Perfect temperature and perfect setting for the adults to watch. This was the only problem I had personally as a senior. The steps down to the pool from the patio and into the water were deeper than I could handle without assistance. Maybe there could be some type of handrail for each that wouldn’t hurt the beautiful scenery? There were 8 of us and we all had plenty of room! We had a fantastic time and would love to return!

Great family vacation

Three generations (our parents, ourselves, and our two teenage boys) stayed for one week. Amazing property! Plenty of room. Appreciated the air conditioning in the bedrooms for sleeping, but the Kauai breeze made the rest of the house comfortable. Well appointed house with many amenities (dishes/glasses/silverware for 16, beach chairs, towels, beach umbrellas, etc.). Loved the pool! Would recommend to anyone!
