Welcome to Hale Keko (“The Monkey House”) located at the end of a cul-de-sac in the upscale Princeville resort community on the northern shore of Kaua’i. Quiet neighborhood, short walking distance to shopping or dining at the Princeville Center and Community Park. Short drive to Hanalei Bay or 'Anini Beach for snorkeling, surfing, swimming, and lounging. The perfect tropical retreat for family and friends, you will absolutely love this home away from home on the North Shore of Kauai.
Upon pulling up to the property, what immediately stands out is the thoughtfully manicured landscaping, the driveway surrounded by billowy palm trees, and the flora bursting with colors. The front porch is a nice place to lounge on the handcrafted solid wooden bench, absorbing the peaceful neighborhood milieu.
Once inside, the open-layout of the house welcomes you in immediately: beautiful hardwood floors, high ceilings, plentiful natural lighting. The wings of the house all flow together easily to coalesce in the living room and kitchen. Everywhere is evidence of the house’s themes of monkeys and turtles. There are all kinds of statuettes: a serene copper Buddha, a wooden carved dragon, a colorful glass parrot, and beautifully framed pictures of local spots on Kaua?i. A cozy tropical flower-covered bamboo constructed couch faces a flat-screen TV with cable and DVD player. There's at least three dozen DVDs to choose from, and beneath them is a shelf full of board games. The living room has seating for five, comfortably.
The kitchen features all stainless steel modern appliances. In the dining room, artwork abounds, and the theme is the honu (Hawaiian sea turtle). Three copper framed smaller works feature these noble creatures, and one larger oil on canvas piece paints a gorgeous scene of several honus.
The master bedroom features a king-sized bed, louvered windows, sliding glass door entry to the back yard, beautiful handcrafted wooden furniture, plentiful artwork, his & hers walk-in closets, and a bathroom fit for Hawaiian royalty; marble floor tiles and granite vanity, spacious Jacuzzi and separate walk-in shower. Tasteful artwork finishes off the ambiance to create an ideal place to start and end the day. The other two bedrooms have queen size beds.
There really are endless adventures to be had nearby: in addition to the world class surfing (and instructors), there’s horseback riding, helicopter tours, snorkeling, whale watching expeditions in winter, and much, much more.
Large backyard lanai features a barbecue and seating protected from the elements by an overhang. The back yard is meticulously landscaped. Hang out on the lanai listening to the exotic birds. The view of Kauai’s stunning "Bali Hai" mountain range is really spectacular.
Welcome to Hale Keko--the perfect Kaua’i oasis to call home during your stay in paradise!

We spend a lot of time in Kauai, visiting close friends and generally we stay in a condo. Having this house right in the heart of the Princeville community and close to our friends was amazing. Being in this great house in this great neighborhood, made you feel like you were part of the community for a short little bit on this amazing island.

Plenty of room for our family of 5. The house was very clean, good amenities and great location. Good communication from Oceanfront. Only improvement would be to fix one of the blinds in the primary bedroom. Would definitely stay here again.

The house was lovely and charming. Oceanfront were very easy and provided timely information. The location was perfect for where we needed to be on island. The only improvements I would recommend are better cleaning (!) and a first aid kit including hydrogen peroxide. Will be back!

Our party of four had a great experience with this rental. The communications with the rental company were prompt, professional, friendly, and clear. We would’ve liked a regular sized coffee pot vs the tiny hotel-room-sized one on site but that’s a pretty minor inconvenience. We primarily spend time on the North Shore so this location was close. Wylie beach is within walking distance (1.4 mi) but it’s a bit steep so it’s not for everyone. Neighbors were super friendly. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Staying in a very nice 2 bedroom condo. Late in the evening there was a leak into master bathroom from unit above. Within 15 minutes we were moved to a beautiful home that was more expensive but we were not charged anymore.

All around amazing location. Only recommendation would be to renew beach supplies, they were somewhat wore out. The house has everything to make your vacation stay a great one. Mahalo
