There is no pool or spa, but the beach is just a mile away. There is a wifi speaker in the house to connect your favorite tunes.

Wonderful

The house is lovely and has everything you need for a wonderful holiday on Kauai, including well-equipped kitchen, plus beach chairs, towels, boogie board and kids’ toys. It’s well located right near a supermarket, but more importantly, near beautiful Hanalei Bay Beach and its welcoming, interesting town.

Lovely time in Kauai

The property is a 3 bedroom condo, part of a duplex in a larger group of condos. It is a short drive from beaches, a grocery store, and the quaint town of Hanalei. The north shore of Kauai is very beautiful and quiet, and it was an enjoyable place to stay. Everything was great; our only complaint was that there is only one full bath, which makes sharing the shower inconvenient when two teenagers are staying with you.

Perfect Spot

We needed a place for a family of 5. This place was perfect! It was in a very safe and clean area. They provided everything we needed for our trip… beach chairs, boogie boards, towels, ice chewers, bags, even snorkeling gear and beach toys! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. Check in and out was super easy. Staying here made our vacation even more special!

Clean and Cozy!

Our family of 4 loved staying at Ema's super clean and cozy cottage. It was nice to be out of the hustle-bustle of Princeville while close to shopping and all points-of-interest on the north shore. We were grateful to find beach towels, beach bags, chairs, coolers, boogie boards and other beach items available for use. Water pressure was great in the shower. The kitchen was well stocked, and the cottage was squeaky clean! A recent storm had knocked out the internet, but a quick call to the wonderful manager, Chris, had us up and running right away! Stay here and feel like a guest in a friend's home. Good vibes all around!

The condo was perfectly located. Check in was simple and communication could not have been better. I do think the condo needs some TLC and some updating. If you ran the window AC units the electrical breaker would flip off. Area is very nice and safe.

My family loved our stay at Ema’s place in Princeville. Check in process was easy, and she was very easy to connect with. The home was close to many things and a short drive from places in Princeville along with Hanalei. We used the kitchen a lot and it had everything we needed to make our meals! Ema’s place was perfect for our family. I also loved that she provided games, toys for kids, and beach gear! I would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic Location

This property was great for our family of 5. It was in a great location on the North side of the Island. All of the boogie boards, beach towels, and umbrellas was a plus. There were portable AC units in each of the upstairs bedrooms which were handy when it got super hot. The property was quiet and neighbors respectful. With a family of 5 (including a teen) it would have been nice to have two showers. Ema was a great host and we would stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Ema Schulz

Host profile image
We are a family of four that started coming to Kauai 20 years ago. After connecting deeply with the magic of Kauai and some incredible friends we found ourselves called to the island and we finally set down some roots. We live and work in Malibu, California, but our lives and our communities are split between Kauai and The Bu. Sadly, we lost our home in the Woolsey fire while we were in Kauai, but have found new perspective on life and what is important. Our family is filled with avid surfers and philosophers and this little cottage is a dream all four of us shared for many years. This is our home and we are happy to share it with like minded people who have a zest for life and who just understand that we all need a beautiful place to enjoy from time to time, and you are worth it. You deserve the tropical island vacation you have been dreaming of. Who knows, one day it might be your reality. With Aloha

Why they chose this property

The location is what is unique about this property. A private street and a quaint complex nestled into a tropical landscape with only a few units. The gem is the path to the beach and it's proximity to Hanalei Bay by walking or driving. But, even more spectacular, and why we chose this street, is the Rainbow Views daily across the street. We wanted Rainbows in our life, and this is the magic spot. In the morning with your tea or coffee, looking out at Bali Hai or with your wine in the evening. Happiness is. Also, the complex is filled with artist, visitors, health guru's and other locals creating a really nice community giving you the feeling of living in Kauai.

What makes this property unique

We hope you enjoy our home and find the charm in it we do. Everything has been remodeled, and we took pride in our furnishings, making sure that you felt at home and felt Hawaii. We have spent time enjoying the house and made sure everything is spotless and comfortable. We love the quaint vibe of Hale Honu and it has a feeling of living like a local, away from the tourist, crowds and vacationers. You will enjoy the chorus of morning birds and the roosters, cozying up to read a book, or just cooking spaghetti dinner, you are covered. Please check the location on a map to understand the neighborhood and how the duplex is situated.
