We loved our time and loved this property! Eating on the patio, walking to and snorkeling at Sea Lodge beach, hiking the Kalalau Trail, and more! This property had so many amenities and a great location. Highly recommend!

It was fun staying in a Hawaiian house in a real neighborhood. We loved the location.
The house was beautiful, very clean, and comfortable for the five of us.
While we were there we enjoyed hiking, snorkeling at a few different beaches, dining out, visiting farmers markets and the nearby town of Princeville.
Thank you for letting us stay there.

Bottom line up front - this house was perfect for our stay, clean, well kept, and in a great location. I would absolutely stay here again. One thing I was curious to see how it worked out was the solar integration with the water heater. It worked great. The hot water takes a second to kick in, but when it does it’s hot! We were able to take six showers back to back without any hint of the hot water fading out. We used the beach chairs, boogie boards, cooler, and snorkel gear every day. It’s all in great shape and made for very enjoyable days.

The pictures don't do the house justice, great location, very nice house and good sized rooms. You're close to beaches, pickle ball courts, stores, and eateries. Well equipped kitchen to eat in and grill also. Lots of beach towels, snorkeling gear, beach chairs, boogie boards and bikes to get around in. Definitely will use again!!

The neighborhood was quiet and within walking distance of town. The neighbors were welcoming and helpful! We spent two weeks here and it was everything we’d hoped it would be. Mahalo!

We really enjoyed our stay here! The host was so easy to communicate with and offered great advice on local areas to check out! The home was clean and had everything we needed and more! The location was absolutly perfect with so many "must see" places within walking distance! We were really sad to leave and plan on visiting and staying here in the future! =)

We stayed in this beautiful home for a week while visiting the island of Kauai. Checking in was easy. We were provided the code for the lock box via text. The house was well equipped with beach chairs, beach towels, snorkel gear, and even bicycles. The kitchen had everything you would need to make a quick dinner. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms plus a loft area. Plenty of room for our family of five. The house was clean and comfortable. We went walking in the neighborhood every morning and even met the neighbors who were very friendly. Our young adult kids loved the outdoor shower and used it every morning. I enjoyed having tea on the lanai and listening to the birds. The house was a perfect home base for our family. Kilauea and Hanalei are close by where there are restaurants and shops. The Princeville Foodland was also convenient for groceries. We visited the Kilauea Lighthouse, Haena State Park, Ke'e Beach, the Limahuli Garden, the Hanalei Farmers market, Hanalei Bay, and even hiked to the Na Pali Lookout on the Kalalau Trail. We ate dinner a Kalypsos, Tahiti Nui and Hanalei Gourmet. We took the chocolate tour at the Princevillle Botanical Garden. We went to Luau Kalamaku at the KIlohana Plantation, and zip lined with Kauai Backcountry Adventure. We loved every minute of our stay on Kauai. It was amazing! Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your lovely Princeville home. We highly recommend this property for anyone looking to stay in the Princeville area

This is a very comfortable and well furnished house with more than anything you would need. Kitchen has tons of stuff and garage is packed with snorkeling gear and bicycles and more. Walk to a secluded beach (read instructions carefully) and to Queen’s Bath. Easy driving distance to all North Shore towns, beaches, and activities. Make sure to book a reservation if you want to walk the Na Pali Coast trail (we didn’t so couldn’t go but saw other great places). Took some adjusting to not having A/C as we’re kinda wimps but just kept the windows open to cool things down. The breeze made it work out. Lots of tips in the books and guides for local sights and food. Easy grocery shopping nearby. Would definitely stay here again but for longer.

Our group of 6 adults stayed at Liz’s place in Princeville for 8 days. The house is beautiful clean and perfect location to enjoy Kauai North shore. We cooked breakfast and dinner everyday and enjoyed our evenings and mornings spending time together around the table. There are tons of beach towels and snorkel gear. We walked to Queens Bath Beach and Sealodge beach several times. Both beaches are amazing. Sealodge was great for snorkeling and we saw several sea turtles. Quiet place to relax. Nearby grocery store.

We really enjoyed staying at this beautiful house in Kauai. It was so nice to have a well stocked kitchen with everything you would need. The outdoor area was perfect to relax in. There was plenty of room for all five of us. The neighborhood is very nice and we enjoyed walking in the evenings. All around, a great place to stay and enjoy Kauai!

Loved the Kauai vacation home rental. Princeville is a great safe home base to explore the North side of the island. Here you will find some of the best hiking and beaches all within a 1/2 hour drive. Some are even just a short walk from the property. On the North side you have to work a bit harder to access some of the beaches, but the payoff is worth it. Tunnels, Sea Lodge, and Ke’e offered some of the best snorkeling. Queens Bath was difficult to get to, but the views were amazing. Quick 10 drive brings you to Hanalei Bay. This is the perfect house for a family of six. Highly recommend!!!

What a beautiful house we stayed at in Princeville! We loved the outdoor shower, the extremely well stocked kitchen for cooking, and garage for beach toys. Liz has literally thought about everything!!! The neighborhood was amazing; quiet and safe with nice helpful neighbors. We loved seeing the Albatross nesting, and also being so close to Hanalei Bay. The quiet streets were perfect for morning walks/runs. The house was also extremely clean with comfortable beds, and it was so helpful to have a washer and dryer too! Kudos to Liz for being one of the best hosts we have ever had on VRBO. If we ever come back to Kauai we wouldn't hesitate to book this again!

Plenty of room for everyone at this comfortable home. Nice, quiet neighborhood.
Easy to talk with owners. We had no troubles at all. This is our second stay at this home and will use it again if the chance arises.

We loved our stay in Princeville. The island of Kauai is nothing short of paradise. My family of 6 loved the home and would stay again without hesitation. The house is fully equipped and situated in a cozy cul de sac. The home owner left an array of island information that was helpful (make sure to visit Sealodge beach). The beds were comfortable and we had no issues at all. We used the bikes and beach equipment. Enjoyed great meals outside on the patio and falling asleep to the sound of the rain was so peaceful. The owner was responsive and helpful when we reached out to her. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We traveled with my daughters 10 & 12, my husband and myself to the North shore to stay 4 nights in Princeville. After having stayed in Poipu at a hotel for a few nights, we were so happy to have plenty of space to spread out at this property. I loved waking up to the back yard view from the master bedroom, hearing the birds and Hawaiian sounds. The neighborhood is great—location ideal to getting to Hanalei, and especially walking to a couple prize beaches. They had everything on hand that we needed—beach towels, chairs, sand toys, boogie boards. We had everything we needed in the kitchen, and more! We loved the big “park” behind their backyard where we threw a football. The outdoor shower was my favorite part! Very attentive and responsive hosts. Hard to leave…

If you want to stay on the north side of Kauai, stop your search and book this home now. It is such a lovely place and accommodated our family (2 adults, 4 kids) perfectly. The decor is tropical and comfortable. We really felt at home. The kitchen is well stocked, the grill came in handy, and the grocery is nearby. Maybe the most special part of the property is the yard. Though there are neighbors, it was quiet and the backyard is so private. You feel like you have your own slice of paradise! We saw many birds, frogs, lizards, and a few snails. There is also access to an open field right out back that’s great for kids to stretch their legs, kick a ball around, etc. The outdoor shower is convenient for washing the beach sand away, and you can see the mountains! The home is an easy drive to Hanalei Bay, which is perfect for swimming, relaxing, etc. This home had more beach supplies than we could have ever made use of! In summary, I spent hours and hours researching possible vacation homes as we planned our Kauai trip, and this property exceeded our expectations!

House was beautiful!! Liz and Dave thought of everything. There are bikes, snorkel gear, umbrellas and chairs in the garage, among many others! The scenery is beautiful and centrally located in Princeville. Love that the house is environmentally friendly. Only surprise was that there was no AC but that is on me for not thoroughly reading the listing. With the fans going and windows for a cross breeze it really was not too bad! Thanks for the great stay!

This is not a vacation house, it is a home. Perfect location, beautifully decorated and appointed with everything needed to create an amazing vacation. The owners have designed an incredible experience and as soon as you open the door, you feel the aloha spirit enter your soul.
Bikes, boogie boards, snorkels, etc. were in great shape and easy to facilitate. Towels were plentiful and having a full size washer and dryer available was amazing. The outdoor shower kept the sand outside where it belongs and was utilized daily.
There were so many times we would say, I wonder if there is (insert item here) and we would open a drawer and find it!
Our granddaughters summed up the experience by stating “this house feels like it’s hugging you”
Mahalo Liz and Dave, you truly created a perfect vacation home.

This was a very nice house with plenty of space. We particularly enjoyed the lanais. The weather was everything and sitting outside and watching it change was enjoyed by all. We did a fair bit of cooking and had everything we needed. Comfortable, clean and well equipped. Mahalo and Aloha! Stacy,Sage,Tyler and Noelle Butler, Jan Murray and Don Puderbaugh.

Wonderful house. We enjoyed the area and being able to walk to a local beach. We didn’t realize north shore beaches were closed in winter but founds lots to the south, it was just a bit of a longer drive. My kids enjoyed the outside shower, boogieboards and bikes. I like having a beach umbrella for shade. Owner was available by text quickly when needed. We would stay here again.

Our family loved this house and the home like feel. The house itself was well stocked with everything we needed for our day outings and to feel comfortable. The neighborhood was extremely friendly and welcoming! Out of our two stays in the area this home was by far the better! Thank you we will be back for sure!

Our family traveled to 4 different islands over the holidays and stayed in 6 different houses during that time (too many if you need to know but lesson learned for next time). We chose this house for the days leading up to and after Christmas and it was perfect. The hosts even put up a Christmas tree for us! IIt was everyone's favorite house of the trip. Comfortable, well equipped, lots of space but still cozy and all sorty of amenities to borrow - cooler, boogie boards, snorkle gear, etc. And how could I forget about the outdoor shower?! The grounds were beautiful as was the neighborhood and every neighbor we talked with was so friendlly. Perfection!

We spent 3 lovely days at this house in Princeville. House was well stocked with beach gear and other stuff for activities. There was also every kitchen tool you could need. Location was awesome, walkable/bike to everywhere.
I would note that there is no AC in the house, which was fine for us but it was a bit warm at night. The check out time was also 10 am even though the listing on VRBO said 11 am.
I would definitely stay here again.

Overall we had a great time at this house and all of the positives that other reviewers mention are spot-on.
The outdoor shower is great!!
The only thing I am surprised is not mentioned is how loud the birds are. Myself and my other family members were woken up almost every day during our week long stay from 3-5AM by birds who live in the surrounding trees. Be prepared to get up, close the windows (which makes it hot), and use earplugs.
Not all beach equipment pictured is available for use (like the longboard).
Lastly, we were charged for a stain that was found in one of the rooms that was covered by a mat the entire time we were in the house. I don't think the spill was caused by anyone in my group, otherwise I wouldn't mind paying for it. Initially Liz told me it should be covered by property damage, and then she held $500 of my security deposit... seemed a bit extreme for a spill onto a dresser that was probably caused by a previous guest and not found until after our stay. Ended up getting refunded some of the amount, but it was a stressful experience that left me with a bad feeling about the stay. I wish Liz had communicated better throughout, and it seems like you will just get charged for any damages found after your visit - regardless of when they actually occurred. Based on the other positive reviews I think we just had an unlucky situation.

Great house for our family of 4, enough room to spread out but still cozy. Kitchen has everything you need, fans (and trade winds) keep the place cool, and it’s within easy walking/biking distance to several nice beaches and Princeville Center restaurants/shopping. Quiet and relaxing!
