The house was great for seven adults, giving each couple their own bed and bath. The location was good for sightseeing around the area. The grounds were private and well kept. We enjoyed the balcony and the outdoor areas, especially the fire pit in the evening. However, I would not give this home the highest rating because it seems to be in a state of disrepair and needs maintenance. We were alerted a few days prior to arrival that the air conditioner was not working in a few bedrooms and portables were supplied. We also had a dishwasher that was not working. There were weeds and loose boards around the pool deck, which gave the impression that the house was not well maintained. It was unfortunate that this lovely home left us with the impression that we didn't get what we had expected. With some attention to small details, this could be a high-quality option while in Princeville.

A Special Place for a Meaningful CelebrationWe stayed at Pau Hana Hale to celebrate my wife’s 50th birthday, and it became part of a milestone our family will never forget.From the moment we arrived, the home felt peaceful and private. Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and surrounded by lush green valleys, it offers a true sense of seclusion while still being close to everything Princeville has to offer. The views are beautiful, and the large windows throughout the home make you feel connected to the landscape.The layout worked extremely well for our group. Everyone had their own space and privacy, yet the main living areas were open and comfortable for gathering together. The furnishings, bedding, and finishes feel high quality and well maintained. The kitchen was outstanding, we hosted a private chef for a special dinner, and even he commented on how spacious and well equipped it was.As with any trip, a couple of minor hiccups came up. What impressed us most was how quickly and professionally they were handled. Communication from Makana Kauai Properties was prompt and thoughtful, and Sarah was exceptional throughout. The homeowners also responded with sincerity and generosity. We truly felt cared for.Most importantly, this home gave our family space to slow down and celebrate something special. We would absolutely stay here again and confidently recommend both Pau Hana Hale and Makana Kauai Properties.Mahalo for a wonderful stay.

The house is amazing! HUGE kitchen, great dining and living rooms, fun pool, comfortable bedrooms and very quiet location. The management staff were very responsive to all our questions and requests. The only issues we ran into was the fans and the A/C stopped working on day 2 of our 9 night stay. The management company worked to resolve but were unable to before we left. We also arranged a mid-stay cleaning which the cleaners did a great job but did not restock common items like Kleenex, toilet paper, paper towels or napkins. I have always had those items restocked when doing mid-stay cleanings (which we paid extra for). Small things like that should be included in an extended stay at a luxurious house like the Pau Hana Hale. Please consider this for future guests. Overall, we had an amazing time in Kauai with a very comfortable, relaxing stay in this house. I will (and already have ) recommended the house to others traveling there in 2026.

House and grounds were amazing. Plenty of room and great views. Pros: tons of room to spread out. Pool is fantastic and the beach gear was well kept. It took us a couple of days to figure out how to get in the garage and find the gear, but once we did, we were good to go. Overall, we loved the place and would stay again! Cons: We had issues with the shades in the basement and the master bedroom upstairs was missing the screen door so we couldn’t leave the door to the rooftop lanai open. It took us a while to find the switch to the fan for the master bedroom as well (hint: its at the bottom of the stairs). Also, the rock wall to the pool is a water feature. The top set of switches work the lights and pump. Use the middle for lights and right for pump.

Overall clean, however, vacuum cleaner was very dirty and also washing machine what's dirty. For a large house, they should have two sets of washer and dryers. Pool was not clean before arrival. Overall enjoyed the stay.

We absolutely loved the house! In a great location, beautiful backyard, comfortable beds, the list goes on! We also loved how the property managers gave a guide book with all the house info as well as tips on the area. Would stay again!

We were visiting as a family of 8, 2 seniors, 4 adults, and2 children ages 7 and 10, gathering from 3 corners of the country to celebrate Thanksgiving together. The house was perfect- beautiful, comfortable, pristinely clean and welcoming. A beautiful bouquet of tropical flowers was on the kitchen counter to welcome us. We had a wonderful time- the kids spent most of the time in the pool. There were many little nooks and crannies where adults could go off and read or just relax, listening to the sound of the surf, which could be heard from the balcony. The adults managed to complete 2-1000 piece puzzles during our visit! Great proximity to grocery shopping and restaurants, although we cooked all of our meals in the well equipped kitchen- much easier with the kids! We did order a prepared Thanksgiving meal from Foodland , the local grocery store and everything was delicious. All in all, a wonderful family vacation. The photos online do not do justice to the beauty of this home. Everything went so smoothly, frombooking, to check in, to check out. All in all,a wonderful family vacation. Thank you so much!

Very thoughtful details and just a beautiful house for a big family get together. Great location, great amenities, + great communication from the property managers. I highly recommend!

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: This rental experience is was fantastic from start to finish. It was so easy to book the property through the website. There were always very timely responses to any and all inquiries. The online property handbook was so helpful before and during our stay. The recommendations in there were awesome! The house itself was absolutely magnificent with stunning views and beautifully appointed. The decor is beautiful and the house had everything we needed. We have stayed in other homes in Hawaii before and the temperature control was never as good as in this home. We were so comfortable the entire trip! The location of this home is perfect! We explored the east and north side so easily! Check out was as easy as check in. We look forward to returning again and will definitely book through this company!

This house was perfect for our family with 5 adults. The bedrooms are spread out so you're not right next to another room, and there are plenty of bathrooms. There's a beautiful backyard with comfortable outdoor furniture, lovely pool for cooling off, and plenty of beach and snorkeling gear in the garage when venturing out to local beaches. The kitchen is huge with plenty of dishes and high-end appliances. The office was perfect for my hubby's writing and checking in on work. This is a place we would definitely stay at again!
