Family getaway

The property is perfectly located in a beautiful neighborhood. Quick walk to the shopping center and a 5 minute drive to Hanalei Bay Area. Other than being short on trash bags, everything was such a joy! Perfect place to get family from around the country together.

Excellent rental!

We were very pleased with our stay. The location was perfect and the house was great! The only complaint might be is the upstairs loft was very hot and unable to cool it down much. Everything else was perfect!

Awesome house

We loved our stay at this house!! It was perfect for our whole family grandparents and kids included. The pool was a hit for everyone and the perfect way to cool down! The downstairs was open and made it easy to all gather together. The upstairs was great for our kiddos and us. The master bathroom was amazing with a HUGE shower. It was clean and well maintained. Having the beach chairs, umbrella, and boogie boards was so convenient. We all highly recommend and loved the location being so close to Hanalei Bay! Can’t wait to come back and stay here again!

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: I took my family with grandchildren to Kauai so the 10 of could enjoy the Princeville area. This house was perfect for us. The family room/kitchen area is huge and we were easily able to gather all together. There is a very large couch positioned to watch the 85 inch TV and we really enjoyed gathering on the couch. The younger kids enjoyed the pool/hot tub so much that they preferred staying at the house over going to the beach. The back yard is open to a frisbee course, so the view is open and green. The beds were good and the master bedroom-bath area is very big. We had a wonderful week and hope to return to this house.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house we rented in Princeville was large enough for all 10 of us including the grandchildren. The condition was very good and it was clean. It was in a great location, close to Hanalei and other beaches for snorkeling. The property management team were accessible and super friendly for all our requests and questions. Pool was not heated so a little cool in March to get in:) The kitchen was a beautiful chef's kitchen but lacked sharp knives, tupperware and cookie sheets for preparing meals.We took the shuttle to Haena park and Ke'e beach for a day. We also enjoyed the town of Hanalei, the restaurants and the bakery there. We also enjoyed the Saturday marketthere.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wow, this home was beautiful-even better than we expected in the pictures. A few fun surprises were the hot tub (which wasn't pictured or listed when we booked), all the beds were King sized (vs one listed as Queen when we booked), and there was a cornhole set in the backyard. The house was clean and had everything we needed! The oven was a little smoky and could use a deep clean, but this wasn't a huge issue. We had some trouble with the wifi but Garden Island Properties was super responsive and helped us get it figured out. We would love to come back another time!

Wonderful Vacation Location/House!

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 had a great time at this house! The description mentioned a house being built across the street which did not disturb us at all. There are tiny ants; however, we did bring some taro with us based on other reviews which helped immensely in the kitchen (we did not fault the house or management on this - simply nature). And we all commented how we are going to miss our rooster alarm clocks at home - so we are attempting to change our alarms :) Would recommend and hope to stay again. There was no broom or vacuum, would recommend owner/management add to assist with light clean up during the stay!

Comfortable, Modern & Resourceful

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: I had a great stay at this property with my wife and 10month old son. The house/neighborhood was very nice. The rooms are neatly decorated and the house is clean! My son loved all the space to crawl around and even enjoyed watching the flocks of chickens in the backyard. The vents under the windows provide a nice flow of air through the house but on the windy days/nights it can be loud. Towards the end of our stay the power kept going out but I think it was because of the heavy winds. The pool was too cold but we enjoyed a family hike and dinner instead. I’d definitely book again next time we visit Kaua’i.
