About this property

Air Conditioning is in the living room and principal bedroom. Guest bedroom has a ceiling fan only. A private freestanding cottage with its own Private Heated Plunge Pool. Air Conditioning, a rare amenity on Kaua'i, cools the space for a restorative nights sleep. Relax after a day of exploring paradise with views of a lush emerald canopy of trees. The songs of the Tropical birds abound at dawn and dusk. Hale Mahalo is a unique getaway in one of the most beautiful destinations in the world. Near beaches & retail shops.

At Hale Mahalo, you won't hear cars, but you'll hear the wind in the palms and the patter of tiny crystalline raindrops during our brief sun-drenched rainfalls. You won't smell the asphalt of city streets, but you'll relish the ocean breeze, sweetened as it passes through the flowers and forests of Princeville. At night you'll stare with wonder at a sky unpolluted by city lights… One of our favorite pastimes is to count the shooting stars and satellites!... even the belt of the Milky Way is visible.

Hale Mahalo is only a 5-minute drive from one of the most magnificent views in the world – the panoramic vista of Hanalei Bay from Kuhio highway. The view will redefine the word beautiful for you. Of course, a mere 15-minute walk will bring you to your own secluded beach. Hale Mahalo's proximity to some of Kauai's most jaw-dropping natural wonders is only one of the many highlights of this private property.

Your expertly appointed home features high-end linens and a new King bed with plush gel memory mattress. The private patio features a rare plunge pool in a space surrounded by manicured grounds set right against the forest beyond. Plus, you have your own washer and dryer, fully stocked kitchen, a flat screen Smart Hub tv, internet / WiFi 300mbps... and all the amenities you expect in a luxury vacation home.

Hale Mahalo is the perfect destination for honeymooners or those wanting a romantic getaway. The grounds provide the most exclusive and private vacation rental experience in all of Princeville.

Kaua'i is one of the most beautiful destinations on earth. We welcome you to The House of Gratitude ~ Hale Mahalo.

Guest have full access to the home. Please make yourself at home at Hale Mahalo.

We give our guests a private and independent stay. However, we welcome questions prior to and during the stay.

We had the perfect stay! This super cute bungalow was even better in person than in the photos! It is in a great location to explore all the northern parts of Kauai, then come back after a day of exploring, hiking, beach going, -- or all three and relax by the plunge pool and finally fall asleep in a very comfy bed! It is an older place but with beautiful upgrades and very clean. We would definitely recommend to others and would love to stay again ourselves. Aloha!

This fantastic cottage was a stone’s throw from all the north shore activities you could want in Kauai. We loved how bright and open the space was with comfy but stylish furniture. Beds and showers were perfect. Beach equipment was available to use.The plunge pool was the best feature for the two of us….we used it night and day. We even spent an entire morning skipping the beach to stay at the cottage to enjoy the private pool! Overall we had a relaxing stay. Every need was met. The home is beautiful and private surrounded by lush greenery. We would definitely book this again for the location, the amenities and the privacy.

The home was absolutely gorgeous, quiet, clean and private. After a hustle and bustle of the day, it was so nice to just unwind and relax...like you are supposed to on vacation! Amazing communications and I would absolutely stay there again!

The cottage we rented was adorable! Our stay was made amazing by the clean, spacious house and Princeville offered many great activities. The private pool overlooking the lush rainforest really was the cherry on top.

We highly recommend this ultra clean lovely cottage! The lights were on for us when we arrived making us feel so welcome! The cottage was so clean and had every amenity we needed to make our stay comfortable! We loved the pool area which was so relaxing and completely private! We even hiked down to the mostly private pristine beach! Why would anyone choose a busy resort? We will return!

Beautiful house with a lovely layout and a totally private plunge pool. A nice walk to multiple restaurants and shopping options. Register for a Foodland discount card on your first visit to save serious money. Could not recommend it more. Well worth the cost.

Enjoy the best of Kauai as you have easy access to North Shore beaches but quiet private pool and clean refuge. We used the restaurants and bars of 1 Hotel without having to stay there. Hanalei is a gem with Hanelei Dolphin our favorite fresh fish. Highly recommend.
