We had a great stay! The house was clean and was a nice respite after a long day exploring Kauai. We really enjoyed the view off the balcony and having our coffee there in the morning. The beds were all comfortable and we slept great. The garage was stocked with beach chairs, snorkeling equipment, boogie boards, a cooler, etc. Oh, and the outdoor shower was lovely after a day at the beach. It was nice rinsing off all the sand to keep from tracking it into the house. The property manager was great working through an issue we had and was very easy to get in contact with. We would definitely stay again!

The house was perfect for our needs. It was well equipped with all of the amenities. The garage was stocked with plenty of beach chairs, snorkeling gear and bicycles so we save money from not having to rent these items. Beautiful views of the ocean and for watch the sunset. Also close to the supermarket and beautiful beaches. Only issue we had was the upstairs shower was not usable until halfway through our stay but the property manager was able to get it fixed.

We loved spending this past week in this BEAUTIFUL home in Princeville!! The house is even better than some of the pictures! The kitchen was very well stocked. We loved enjoying family meals at the large dining room table as well as on the lovely lanai! The ocean view from the lanai was stunning! We loved the beautiful landscaping of the yard as well.
The bedrooms were very comfortable and we made ourselves at home! I loved waking up in the morning and looking out the window at the ocean! The full washer and dryer were a great asset after beach and hiking days! (as was the outside warm shower!) They had a great assortment of bikes, boogie boards, snorkle gear, beach chairs, beach towels and shade beach canapies in the garage for our use!
Thames was very responsive to our questions and shared his recommendations for north shore activities!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!! We had an unforgetable trip with our family! We would love to stay there again!!

I live on Kauai and when family comes, we usually rent a house for part of their time here. I’ve stayed in many vacation rentals on Kauai and this one is great. Great location, big and spacious, very well stocked and beautiful views! Love this place and will definitely try and rent again.

This was a great place to stay for our family of 8. It was a great location, great house and it matched the description of the property. The beds were very comfortable and everything was clean. Great views of the ocean. The neighborhood was very quiet. We had access to beach chairs and bikes. The kitchen was well stocked. The communication with the property managers was quick on questions. Each member of our family enjoyed this home.

We had an excellent holiday due to our stay at Hale Makalapua. The house was in a great location for walks to the beach, enjoying views of the ocean where we could see what’s from the deck and the Kauai’s verdant landscape. The neighborhood was quiet and just a short drive for groceries and eating out. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped for actually (!!) cooking meals. It felt very much like the owners actually use the home themselves, and as such it’s stocked with quality items- towels, glassware, snorkel gear, bikes etc. This was one of the best rentals we’ve had in a long time.
The property managers were very responsive to questions and requests.

This home was perfect for our family. It was well stocked with all the supplies we needed. The view was amazing - we enjoyed the early morning & sunset views of the ocean. Looking forward to staying there the next time we come to Kauai

Construction next door started at about 7 every day. At least start after 8 to be considerate of visitors wishing we knew well in advance. There was really no trail to walk to the beach from the house. Thames was very nice and responsive to requests.

The property is located on the north shore in the quieter town of Princeville. The house sits at the end of a cul-de-sac. The views from the lanai are stunning! We saw whales every day as we sat out there. The house was spacious enough for our family of eight. We had grandparents, four adults, and two teenagers. Communication with the property manager was easy. The quaint town of Hanalei is also very close by. The house was well stocked with kitchen equipment, and we loved the beach gear in the garage. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Kauai.
