The exterior boasts a lanai with decks of new quartzite tile and chaise lounge chairs to take in the ocean breezes winding their way up the valley, along with a professionally landscaped yard and an abundance of island scenery.

Private location, lovely home could use a bit of TLC

Two years ago, our home in Hanaeli wasn't available so we decided to Princeville it for the first time in 35 years. Lovely home, plenty of room, and private. This being our second stay, we still had a lovely time but might be time the furnishings had a bit of going over to clean and refresh.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was beautiful and looked just like the pictures. I stayed a week and a half and it really felt like home. It was very relaxing. It was tricky to get the temperature just right between overheating and freezing. Watch out for the many steps from one room to another.

A beautiful, romantic house in Princeville

This property is beautiful, well-maintained, and comfortable. You can tell that the owner cares about the home and that it has a real soul. While you could clearly sleep a few kids and another couple in the guest rooms, the main bedroom is clearly the star of the show and we felt like we had the perfect amount of space (for a luxury getaway). Princeville is clean and nice enough, but staying here you should expect to hop in the car and drive for food, the beaches, activities, etc. All in all, we felt it was a great value and a really special stay. Recommend to a friend.

Lovely Vacation Rental

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at this rental with our two teenage daughters and had a wonderful time. The pictures don’t do the house justice. It’s so beautiful. But the best part is how well equipped it is. It has everything you need for the beach or for biking around the island.

We have local family and friends on the North and East side. Great location to stage various adventures from with far less hustle and bustle than the South side. The house is gorgeous and they have an amazing view from behind the house. Highly recommend the place

Oasis in Princeville

Privacy is this properties greatest asset, hot tub and multiple patios overlooking you own jungle and stream. We enjoyed it as a couple but can entertain much more. The beach toys and bikes were an added bonus to get your crew going to the beach without renting. All that Princeville and the north coast has to offer were easily accessed or stay and do nothing!

Christmas Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent a few days in Kauai, along with some family members who rented rented their vow houses. We gathered here at the North Shore Hideaway and it was a perfect house for having a few people over. It's very spacious with inside and out areas to gather. The house is very very private, even though it sits in a very nice neighborhood, so lost of privacy. It's a great location. The only negative was the unusable oven. We went to roast something and the oven door wouldn't shut all the way and would not hold much heat. That was very unfortunate. With a working oven, we would definitely stay there again.

We stayed for a week and the house was amazing. The house is gorgeous and the scenery surrounding the house makes this place that much more stunning. The pictures do not do it justice! It is extremely well located with lots of options nearby. The host was extremely friendly and responsive as well. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to vacation here!

A beautiful property with a backyard that is a rainforest. Top quality kitchen and bedding. Paddleboards, bikes, beach chairs and snorkel equipment came in handy for our group. Easy access to Hanalei Bay and Ha'ena state park.

Lovely getaway

Well-appointed, beautifully designed home. The property is lovely and crazy private for Princeville. Comfy mattresses, gorgeous vista, great cross-breezes with nicely screened sliders and windows. Hosts are generous with amenities and supplies. Only complaint—glassware is in need of a restock. Two wine glasses, some plasticware, and a few glass tumblers. Even with just two of us we were rewashing a lot (and it’s a vacation!}. Small stuff—hope to be back. Mahalo.

It’s just like in the pictures! So private, with luxury. We had a respite girls week and it was perfect! Great kitchen. Views are amazing….sunrise every morning from bed or the outdoor living space.

Beautiful Setting

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I stayed here with my husband’s parents and brother. There were 5 adults total. The house was very spacious for the 5 of us. The grounds of the house are inviting and beautiful. It is in a peaceful setting and the back patio is relaxing. We enjoyed being close to Anini Beach and the shops in Princeville and close to Hanalei. The house is nice, but a little dated. It was clean upon arrival with great instructions for check-in. There are 5 beach chairs in the garage, which were great to have access to. There are also lots of beach toys, snorkel gear, boogie boards, beach towels, and beach umbrellas. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. We didn’t notice until after our first night that there was no soap, or body wash, or shampoo/conditioner in the bathrooms. Usually, a host will provide even sample size bottles of these things and/or a bar of soap. I don’t know if this was just overlooked by housekeeping or if this host just doesn’t provide those items. We had to go buy bar soap. A couple of drawbacks to this house are: 1) There is no air conditioning. There is a wall unit to cool the master bedroom, but the rest of the house was very warm. Those sleeping in the other bedrooms didn’t get much relief at night from the warm, humid air. Our visit was during an atypical warm spell, though. 2) I do realize that Hawaii has a climate for bugs and critters. So, I’m not sure what to expect as reasonable when renting a house, as we’ve always stayed in hotels during previous vacations to Kauai. But, there are little lizards in this house, cockroaches, and I saw a centipede. Not a ton of critters but enough to make me hesitate to rent a house in the future when visiting Kauai and stick to hotels, where critter control seems more robust. Perhaps, I’m just too much of a princess.

Very private location, large spacious home

We hadn't been back to our island for awhile due to serious illness, but it was amazing to be back. We always rented the same home in Hanalei, but it was booked. So for the first time in 33 years we stayed in Princeville. The house was extremely private and for the most part, well appointed and comfortable. The gorgeous views from just about every window were of the lush ravine filled with verdent trees, ferns and abundant flora, and rang out with birdsong. The human neighbors were very quiet, however, the unavoidable roosters cawing at all hours along with the sound of idling diesel engine emited from giant cane toads are simply part of north shore life - bring earplugs.) The home was nicely decorated and fairly well equipped, however the sofa felt a bit old and grungy, and the throw pillows were scratchy. When we discovered the home's supplied beach chairs and umbrellas were all broken and unusable, Eric from Hawaii Life responded immediately with lovely brand new ones. He was helpful and kind.

Wow....what place!!

This house is in a great location. You are in a neighborhood but tucked away so that it feels very private. There are windows everywhere that let you enjoy the amazing plant-life around you and let the refreshing breeze flow through. No need for air-conditioning! The kitchen and grill came in handy on nights that we didn't feel like food from a restaurant. The owner has available for renters: beach towels, beach chairs, swim fins in multiple sizes, snorkels and masks (for kids), bikes and even surf and SUP boards. We really appreciated the towels and beach chairs, and the easy access to the outdoor shower after our beach days. The outdoor seating area was great, we spent most of our time there. The hot tub was fun for a quick soak after the sun went down. I couldn't have asked for a better place for my family to spend a week in paradise!
