This home made our family trip to Kaua’i perfect!!!! The homeand garden are gorgeous and we love the location for the north shore beaches. Our adult children enjoyed the space downstairs with their own bedrooms, bathrooms and living area! Upstairs we had our beautiful bath and room, living and dining, kitchen and outdoor heated shower!! After early morning snorkeling at the amazing Tunnels Beach daily and afternoons snorkeling at Annini Beach coming “home” to this beautiful space was perfection! The house was also immaculate; so clean and well maintained. We are grateful to have found this rental. The team at Kauai Vacation Rental was also so nice to work with every time I had questions prior to arrival as well.
Wonderful house, great space inside and out. Hope we ca stay again!!!

Orchid Hale is a wonderful place to stay in Princeville. It is in a quiet neighborhood with a nice pool very nearby, has room for families to be together but also have their space. The beautiful backyard has tropical flowers, shady trees and room for croquet, catch or frisbee.The kitchen is well stocked and the dining table big enough for family meals. Every room is a fascination of art and memorabilia from around the world.

The memories of a wonderful vacation were enhanced by staying in this beautiful home! This gorgeous home gives so much attention to the artwork, the decor, the amenities, and the specific instructions for properly operating the AC and the many lights, drawing shades, disposal of trash, etc.. The owners of this special home rightfully take pride in this home’s beauty inside and out! We are grateful for the opportunity to have shared the warmth and comfort of Orchid Hale. This has been our 5th trip to Kauai and when we return, we will look no further than to call the great people at KVR and ask that they book us again at Orchid Hale!

You guys truly made this stay amazing. The directions in the house helped direct us. The house was very well kept, and the cleaning smell was so minimal that it didn’t have any effect with my wife. The communication with you guys was amazing, and we had a level of expectation that you guys wouldn’t keep your word, but you proved us wrong and we were so thankful to be wrong.

We had a lovely time at this home in Princeville. It was clean, spacious, and the layout was perfect for our family of 6. We were able to walk to shopping, a small farmer’s market and a beach with great snorkeling near the One Resort.We would definitely rent this home again.
The property was beautiful. It accommodated our family of 6 perfectly. Thank you for the opportunity to share your home.

Beautiful house with a dream kitchen. Great place for our group to gather. Had everything we needed/wanted & more.
House was very well stocked, from beach supplies to kitchen pans and utensils. Location was convenient to Princeville amenities and resorts. Price was a bit high with a high cleaning fee and VRBO fee.
Only negatives were spotty WiFi (the house has 3 separate networks) and none of them reached into bedrooms well. And toilets would often run continuously or leaked a bit. They definitely need a little maintenance. Otherwise the place was awesome

We went in with reasonable expectations. But when we opened the front door, we were WOWed!!! It is unbelievable. What a beautiful home. So much attention to detail, from the artwork, the furniture, everything. The layout was incredible. Our first 4 days of our trip was nothing but non stop rain, and this was the perfect home for being “stuck”. The gourmet kitchen made you want to cook! Our kids loved the backyard, as did I. This felt like a $3-$5m home. And it probably is! Sub-Zero refrig and other high end appliances. And the best part, your own garage! Most owners don’t give you access to the garage. These owners do! Mahalo! Made it easy to get into the home with it it getting rained on. And your garage is impeccable. We also enjoyed doing some washes of the kids clothes the high- end washer and dryer in the garage. The beds... one word. Heavenly. Best sleep of my life. My wife’s and kids didn’t want to get out of bed!!! And the floor to ceiling windows with the majestic view of the Hanalei mountains with waterfalls, and the most serene backyard with this amazing canopy tree. Can’t say enough. We will return. No question.
We love the Princeville area. Orchid Hale is a huge house, well designed, with an amazing yard. Walking distance to pool, golf, tennis. So many great beaches nearby. Most require a short hike but you are rewarded at the end. Secret beach is amazing. Perfect for a family of 6-8, or 9 if you have 3 small ones. My wife and I stayed in the master upstairs, so much room and privacy. Our kids and grandkids stayed in the two bedrooms downstairs and the oldest slept on a roll away in the office. There is also a pull out in the downstairs FR. They were a little crowded but didn’t complain. Huge kitchen and great room upstairs. Air conditioning was essential and worked well. I would stay here again.

I cannot say enough good things about this house. It is very large with plenty of room to spread out, clean, beautiful, and has everything you need for your stay (except shampoo and body soap). The yard is gorgeous with so many flowers and fruit trees. The neighborhood is centrally located and so very nice. So many places to walk or jog. You are just a few minutes from a grocery store, gas, and shops/restaurants. Tons of beach supplies including chairs, umbrellas, mats, etc. The kitchen is so well stocked - we were able to host 13 people for a post wedding dinner easily. The master bedroom is upstairs separate from the two bedrooms downstairs. Each level has its own living area and there is an office downstairs. The A/C works perfectly- no hot spots. We would book this house again for sure. It just made our visit to paradise even better!!!
Exactly as advertised. Couldn't be better!

Kauai is our favorite place in the world. We love this island and her people. We first came in 1998 and we try to come back every year. We enjoyed days on Anini beach or. Hanalei bay. In the evenings we had wonderful meals at the Dolphin, Tiki Aniki , and Happy Talk, 3 of our favorite spots.Orchid Hale is a well appointed home located in Princeville. The only thing previous visitors did not show the gas grill much love,it was pretty sad. The dryer was on the fritz, the homeowners were working on getting a new one.These things did not detract from the rest of the home or the beautiful well maintained property it sits on. This is a great rental for families. We had our almost 2 year old granddaughter with us, she loved playing in the yard and the park just up the road. There also is a community pool and tennis courts for you to enjoy.The house also had beach chairs, towels, sand toy, yard games and more!This home and island has so much to offer we would highly recommend it.
Great location, very comfortable house. Great kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms. One of the best places we’ve stayed.

This place was absolutely amazing. cozy. the kitchen was a dream. plenty of space. everything was clean and in good condition. Loved having beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards, and games. This is a house worth renting
This home is close enough to walk to Queens bath, Hideaway beach and the country club. Plenty of room and lots of games to play. Foodland is a short drive away and has everything you need for your stay. My only suggestion would be to maybe add a ping pong table in the garage for the rainy days.

This was a gorgeous house, like you were in the middle of a rain forest with all the windows and birds and plants outside. Easy walk to the pool and tennis courts which were literally across the street. We spent the day hiking all the nearby trails and beaches then shaved ice and home for the evening . Very relax full vacation with family . Will visit again.
Wow! As a celebration for my oldest son’s college graduation and a belated celebration for my youngest son’s high school graduation, we spent a week in Kauai! We stayed at Orchid Hale and the place impressed us all, there was definitely the WOW factor when we arrived! The house was spacious and nicely decorated and the gardens and grounds were so tropical and beautiful. The house had everything we needed and more. We had a fantastic week on the beautiful island of Kauai and staying at Orchid Hale added so much to the vacation! We all would highly recommend this house. Thanks for sharing your home with us!
This house is amazing! It is spacious and has all the amenities we could hope for on our trip. We loved the large gourmet kitchen that was really well equipped and organized and enjoyed the views of the beautiful garden during our meals. The kids had so much fun in the outdoor space playing - there was even a croquet game! We also enjoyed playing tennis and using the pool steps away from the house in the morning or afternoon. The location was very convenient to all the areas we wanted to visit in Princeville / Hanalei. Perfect for morning walks either down to the beach near or up to the local town center / park. The beaches, such as Anini and Tunnels, or local restaurants were a short car ride away. We could not be happier with our stay and would recommend this property to anyone. It is definitely on our return list in our future.
