Our family came to the area as part of a weeklong vacation and this home was an excellent experience.
The place is clean and updated and packed with well chosen items to help you enjoy your trip. The owners were very communicative and proactive. Highly recommend.

Shirley!!! We had a phenomenal vacation. Your house was beautiful. It more than met our needs. We have stayed in other VRBO’s and yours was superior and welcoming by comparison. Literally everything you could imagine needing in the kitchen! There were extra spices, oils, and basics tha

My fiancé and I brought our kids to stay for their spring break. We were easily able to explore the island and check out the nearby beaches. House is well stocked with kitchen and recreation items. The master bedroom is right on the road so with the doors/windows open you get pretty loud road noise, so we had to keep it all closed, which was too bad because it cooled down nicely in the evening. Beds and linens are comfortable, lots of towels for everyone to use, and overall the family had a great time. Shirley was very responsive and easy to work with.

The condo was as described. The area is clean and beautiful. The home was well equipped for a toddler and adults. Commination was outstanding. We had no problems at all. It's fun to have a pool, hot tub and outdoor grill nearby. Golf and Frisbee golf are a short walk away. Groceries are a short drive. We had plenty of towels for beach too.

This property has everything you need to prepare meals and enjoy the beach while in Kauai. The condo is spacious with three separate lanai’s. Plenty of room for our party of 8. The beds are comfortable and we had all the closet space we needed. I definitely recommend this condo, five stars!

The condo is beautiful with a pool and hot tub. The house accommodates 10 people perfectly, it's clean and organized, equipped with all kitchen utensils, beach towels, and extra linens. A great bonus is the availability of beach accessories like chairs, surfboards, swim goggles, and umbrellas. Shirley is incredibly attentive and always available. In summary, an excellent choice!! Thank you, Shirley!

We couldn’t have asked for a better stay! The home had a fully stocked kitchen for cooking breakfasts and dinners. We loved having access to all the beach chairs, boogie boards and snorkel gear in the garage. There were 5 adults and 4 kids in our group and the house was very spacious in regards to the common area and sleeping space. We would most certainly stay here again!

Came for a week with our kids and this house surpassed all our expectations. There was everything you need for the beach and then some. We didn't have to rent snorkel equipment for our kids and there were beach shoes in so many sizes. Inside we loved sitting at the table playing cards:) the kitchen had everything we needed to cook in or grill at the BBQ area. The beds and bathrooms were great and the floor plan upstairs with the three bedrooms on one side and the master on the other worked great for our family. I loved all the lanais, We plan to stay again for sure. Mahalo!

Property was as described. Unfortunately the Air Con wasn’t working. The Owner jumped onto this and also offered reduction in nightly rate.
Property was clean except for stained sheet on one of the beds. This was highlighted to Owner more for their reference. We then were threatened with being charged if we did not sent photos. (Which we had already done).
We were then told we had made a big issue of it because we didn’t bother to swap them.
Other than these minor communication challenges we were more than happy with the property.

Super stocked and in a great location plus it sleeps 9, which we needed for our two families! It probably would not sleep nine adults comfortably but if you have kids it is a great fit. Two-car garage. All bedrooms are upstairs so there are great gathering spaces downstairs. The A/C is a lifesaver. Incredible amount of beach stuff - boogie boards, tons of snorkels and masks, beach chairs, toys, coolers, hose to wash off sand outside. I would recommend this place to anyone. Absolutely great house and incredible location, just perfect.

Property is very spacious and more than accommodated the group. Would have been nice to be able to turn the AC down lower (Strict AC settings set by owner) as it does get quit hot upstairs, but fans are provided in each room. Check in and out was easy but overall- communication could be improved.

Shirley’s place was perfect for our two families of four. There was plenty of space, the beds were comfortable, and there was plenty of amenities/equipment (wet shoes, snorkeling gear, beach towels/chairs). I couldn’t have asked for a better way to be introduced to the island of Kauai. Mahalo!

The place was perfect for our 8 days in Kauai. It accommodated 11 of us and had plenty of space. All we needed was food as the condo had everything we needed. We enjoyed our morning walks to Hideaway Beach, Sea lodge Beach and Queens bath which were all amazing and super close. We also enjoyed the pool which was very relaxing. The fridge went out our first night there but they went out as soon as we contacted them and got a replacement within a few hours. Thank you for the chocolates and coffee, Shirley!!! Hoping to be back soon.

This was our first big trip with kids, and despite me being a rusty traveler and novice mom-traveler, we had an incredible time at House of Aloha thanks to Shirley’s many thoughtful touches (all the beach gear a family could ask for) excellent communication and grace in the face of our frazzled family. The pool is perfect, the beds are comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, and added all together it sets you up for supreme relaxation.

A great house in a great neighborhood with lots of amenities. The property offers everything you need for a day at the beach or hike through the jungle. The property is well maintained and the furnishings are up to date. Overall a great property and would definitely recommend it. We only had 2 minor issues we had were the garage code did not work upon check-in, no big deal since we accessed the home via the lock box at the front door and then used the garage door opener. The other minor issue was the shower plumbing in the primary suite is backwards. Again no big deal once we understood this nuance. These minor issues did not take away from our overall experience. (Loved the hose by the garage to clean things after a day having fun 🤩)

We had a group of 20 family members that rented several properties within 2 blocks of this location. This rental worked out
perfectly for family to come by and organize our days during our visit. Fabulous selection of outdoor gear in the garage. Beds were very comfy. Shirley was wonderful to work with and very responsive to messages. We enjoyed our stay in Princeville thank you for sharing your home.

The place was beautiful and very well kept. Overall location was great- right by the golf course so you get beautiful views but keep in mind the excursions you book- as a lot of them are on the south side of the island so it’s a bit of a drive. They have tons of stuff to use for your beach days which came in super handy and saved us lots of troubles. In the end we did get up charged extra cleaning fees (some of which I thought were unreasonable) so just be prepared in case that happens. Check in process was super easy, and the place was very spacious- even more than what we thought we had signed up for.

Our family of 7 had a wonderful time in Kauai thanks to the House of Aloha. This is our first family vacation since the beginning of the pandemic. We were originally scheduled to be here in March 2020. Shirley was so kind to let us reschedule our stay twice as the global pandemic evolved. We are so happy to be here after the long delay. The condo is beautifully decorated and highly functional. It has everything we needed, including snorkeling equipment and beach gears. After a full day of exploring the island, we got to retreat to our wonderful home away from home. Thank you for everything!

House of Aloha was perfect for our group of 9 (4 adults, 4 teens & 1 tween). The condo was equipped with everything we could possibly need, was very clean and had tons and tons of closet and dresser space which I loved so that everyone wasn’t living out of their bags.
Two things to note:
1. The temperature control in the master shower is installed backwards. Hot is at the bottom, not the top.
2. The master bedroom and sofa bed areas border the busiest road in the area and can get a little noisy. If you enjoy sleeping later into the morning the traffic noise might make that difficult. It wasn’t a problem for us… we wanted to see everything we could not lose time sleeping late.
I would absolutely stay here again. Mike and Shirley are great hosts!

The house was clean and had everything that was promised online. We especially enjoyed the many extras. Beach towels for everyone, snorkel sets, beach chairs, beach mats, water shoes, coolers, and umbrellas.
We were worried about keeping the thermostat at 77 but the house was always comfortable.
When in the house we hung out in the living room, dining room and kitchen.
The kitchen was very well stocked and had a drink cooler as well.
Thank you for a wonderful stay and all the love and time you have spent to make this a home for us.

We had a wonderful time at the House of Aloha. Our group was 5 adults and 2 children, and the space was perfect for us. We really appreciated all of the extra items provided - everything you need to enjoy the beach, even life jackets that were perfect sizes for our kids. The area was quiet and peaceful.

Thank you Shirley and Michael for sharing your beautiful home! Our Ohana had an amazing time celebrating our 30th Anniversary and Christmas. We love the open floor plan and being greeted by a family of chickens and roosters every morning! :) We felt very much like we were at home and appreciated all the comforts that come with House of Aloha.

We loved having a beautiful, clean, and comfortable home to come back to after playing all day. Some features we really enjoyed was how quite the inside was from traffic and early morning chickens so we could sleep. We loved how dark we could make the house when sleeping but open the shutter curtains and we could fill the house with sunshine and light. The ceiling fans in the rooms kept us cool and the air not stuffy. The kitchen was fantastic to cook in and we loved how spacious the house was. The garage came in handy for cleaning up beach sand and we loved the rack of snorkel gear and extra water stuff for us to use. Having a large kitchen table was great when we all sat down to eat together. The bathrooms were laid out for multi use and boy did that come in handy when we wanted to get out and go in the morning. And finally, the beds were comfortable to sleep on and there were plenty of pillows. All the luxuries of home!! Thank you for thinking of all the little things that made our stay comfy and fantastic. Your home is beautiful!!

Such a great set up with amazing views of the mountains overlooking the golf course. The complex is nice and quiet with a good pool set up for the family. The bbq’s at the pool need some maintenance to get back in tip top shape however.
We just had the worst flood ever here and we had got phone calls and emails to check in on us to see how we were and if we needed anything. We felt very safe in this place and felt like all our needs were taken care of. Can’t wait for our next stay again at your place for round 3! Mahalo

My family of five stayed at The House of Aloha for a little over 2 weeks. My parents also joined us for nearly week and there was plenty of room for all. Let me first say, that I am a self proclaimed "germaphobe"! We have rented other condos in the past and I always feel like I have to wash everything before using, particularly in the kitchen. This is the first time I haven't done that. The dishes and cooking utensils were all of nice quality and well taken care of (not what you usually see in a rental). The bathrooms were also well maintained and very clean. The condo looked exactly as it did in the photos. Shirley was great to work with and very quick to respond to any question I had. Kauai was beautiful and we had a wonderful vacation. My older children (8 & 9) really enjoyed a tour and chocolate tasting at Princeville Botanical Gardens which was only about ten minutes from the condo. One thing to be aware of is that the home backs up to a busy road so you do hear road noise. We were aware of this before we booked, so it was definitely not a big deal for us, but for some folks this could be an issue. We loved The House of Aloha and would recommend it to our friends and family.

We had a great vacation staying at the "House of Aloha", a fantastic place to return every day. Plenty of room (10 of us!) very clean, t.v.'s in every bedroom. All beach gear incl. a large cooler,beach chairs,snorkel gear and boogie boards, etc. for all of us to use!
Wil defenitly recommend the House of Aloha to relatives and friends!

My family stayed in this condo for one week in August 2013. It's a fantastic condo rental - clean, spacious, quiet, and very reasonably priced! There's a big dining table and well-equipped kitchen. Lots of beach chairs and snorkeling equipment/beach towels, too. We had 6 adults staying in the condo and it didn't feel cramped during our week-long stay. The garage is manageable but a bit tight for two cars (but that's the case for all Nihilani properties!). We had read a review about street noise being an issue, but we found the condo very quiet and peaceful. Mike and Shirley were very friendly and responsive to all of our pre-trip questions, too. We hope to have an opportunity to stay there again someday!

After staying for a week on Kauai at the House of Aloha it is going to be hard to find a comparable rental on any other island! The condo is as described....beautiful décor and very clean. All the amenities anyone could ask for and more down to boogie boards, snorkeling equipment, beach chairs and beach towels! We had a fantastic family reunion and look forward to staying here in the future. Mike and Shirley are great hosts! Mahalo for the memorable stay on your island.

We rented the House of Aloha for 12 days. We had three families staying there (6 adults, 4 children) and never felt 'crowded." Every room was equipped with comfortable bedding and a flat screen TV, so it was easy to have your own 'space' if needed. The accommodations are lovely...very clean and all the amenities you may need for your stay (beach towels, boogie boards, snorkel gear...they really thought of everything!) The owners were extremely responsive with our pre-arrival questions and supplied helpful information prior to our stay. They also had great information available on site with hikes and sightseeing, etc. I read some reviews prior to our stay that mentioned traffic noise, but we slept with the sliding glass door open every night and did not have any problems. The pool area was nice and the kids swam in it every day without any complaints of temperature. I would definitely recommend having a car in this area as there didn't seem to be much within walking distance, but the supermarket is a very short drive away. All in all, this condo was perfect for us and would stay here again and recommend it to others without any hesitation.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed staying at the House of Aloha. The house is spacious,very clean, and stocked with all the kitchen and laundry supplies. The owners were very responsive to my questions. We appreciated being able to use the snorkeling and other beach equipment. Enjoyed the TVs in all the bedrooms and appreciated the WiFi. It was a great home base for the many activities available on the island.

Have stayed at House of Aloha twice and will be back for a third as soon as possible. I would highly recommend to all. Price is great! Newer complex, well located, nice people, clean and maintained. The house has everything you need, the owners are very nice and responsive and truly care that you have a great stay. We stayed at the House of Aloha in 2009 and 2012 and property and complex is in the same shape as it was in 2009 (immaculate). We seem to be creatures of habits so when we come to Kauai we spend two weeks, first week at the House Of Aloha and second week at the Hyatt in Poipu. When you find something you like you tend to come back, and we will definitely be back.
Helpful tip? Fourth room should only be considered for younger kids, not for adults.

We had two families with five young kids stay at the House of Aloha for ten days. It was perfect! There is a lot of space for everyone to spread out. The rack of beach equipment in the garage made life easy. Plenty of boogie boards, towels, masks, sand toys, and chairs. The cooler was good. Location is not walking distance to the beach but it is a two minute drive to a shopping center with grocery store, several great take out restaurants, and a bar. Dozens of restaurants are in Hanalei, about 10 minutes away. Lovely place, we would definitely return.

May 2012
My family stayed at the House of Aloha in early May 2012. The house is beautiful inside, with a large kitchen, well appointed rooms and a large master bath. The house really does have everything, including plenty of beach equipment and towels. It was obvious the owners take a lot of care in maintaining the house as well, and it was spotless when we arrived.
The one thing that should be on the profile is that the house is located very close to a street that is busy by Kauai standards, and there is significant street noise in the master bedroom throughout the night. We had to buy earplugs, which made the noise manageable. (We used to live in a relatively busy section of San Francisco, so we're no strangers to street noise, but in a very quiet area like Princeville, the sound of cars and trucks late into the night, and sometimes in the very early morning, made it difficult to sleep.)
The pool area was very nicely done, but even in May it was too cold for childen (and maybe many adults as well). I can't imagine it being a good temperature for childen until well into summer.
Our tip: If you're thinking of staying at condos in Princeville, I'd ask about the location relative to Ka Haku Road, and be prepared for noise problems at units located adjacent to that road.
April 2012
Overall it was fine. The fourth bedroom is really a curtained alcove with a trundle and a day bed and no access to a shower without walking thru another bedroom (or a toilet without either walking thru another bedroom or going down stairs). Kitchen is nice and well-appointed, bedding comfortable, lots of TV's, owner and local agent very responsive.
The pool is relatively cool and shallow, and there are noise rules that make it less fun for teens and young adults. Otherwise the location is fine for the North Shore; can walk to the main shopping plaza with a Foodland and other stores/restarurnats.
March 2012
The condo was affordable, clean, comfortable, well furnished and the location was perfect. The women in the group loved the kitchen and at least one is looking for a similar dishwasher set-up. The area is quiet, beautiful, close to many worthy adventures and the best beaches. The combination of Condo and location made for an unforgettable vacation experience. Would definitely visit again.
July 2011
Our extended family recently stayed at this location and were very impressed with the accommodations. The price was affordable and roomy for all of us. The modern appliances, decor and amenities made it very impressive. We are looking forward to contacting you again for another great experience in such a beautiful place! Thank you for being so accommodating!

We stayed at the House of Aloha from June 4-16 2011. We were a group of 7 adults and the condo was very spacious and comfortable. The condo has everything you need to have a great vacation on the island. The owners were great to work with in setting up the stay. I would highly recommend the property anyone! Thank you for everything!
