This was our second stay at this beautiful property. We love the privacy of being in a small, standalone home yet being so close to everything (ocean is across the street, public walking path is a favorite, great restaurants in Princeville and Hanalei, world class hiking, snorkeling at Anini Beach). Home is lovingly maintained with many nice touches. The kitchen is fully stocked. Having a washer and dryer on site is great. King bed is very comfortable.

We have stayed in several of the villas in this collection over the years and the views are unmatched! This unit is lovely and well-decorated, with comfortable beds (we loved that the second bedroom had a large bed vs the two twins that many units have, which are too short for teens/young adults). And the kitchen had everything we needed, too!
Our only feedback was that the beach supplies were much less than described, and not in great shape. And it was a bit harder to get ahold of someone to ask questions than anticipated. But overall we loved our stay!

Second time renting this house. It's fantastic! Clean house, updated interior and decor, and very well appointed. It has everything you need should you choose to use the kitchen for cooking (very well equipped kitchen!) or all the supplies for a day at the beach, including chairs and soft coolers. Definitely recommend!

We enjoyed our stay a lot. The location of the villas is amazing as you can get to multiple beaches easily. There is convenient shopping locations and the kitchen is fully stocked with necessities. The location has two balconies to enjoy the nature.

We loved our stay! The views off the balcony to the mountains and the view off the front porch to the ocean. I can't think of anything I would change the place had everything we needed. We loved Hideaway Beach and it's just a short walk to the trail. Great walking paths for morning runs and walks too. I miss having I already miss having my coffee on the balcony! We will be back

This unit is beautiful and stunning - both inside and the views you are afforded of the surrounding mountains and water. Highly recommended.

The town of Hanalei, the epic views from the back lanai and the ocean out the front door just made this a dream getaway.

We loved it - enjoyed all the details they put into the place. It was almost like a game to figure out the things they ‘didn’t do” since they provided so many things that were unexpected. Highly recommend it

Upon arrival, my family deemed the home “the best place we have ever stayed!” and they were absolutely right. What a lovely, spacious, and comfortable place from which to explore all the amazing offerings of Kauai’s north shore. The location is so ideal with wonderful proximity to beautiful beaches, charming Hanalei, and great food, but you could honestly just take in the sights from the home and feel perfectly on vacation. We loved the layout (worked well for sleeping kids with the bedrooms downstairs), the well-stocked kitchen, and of course, the view from all sides. Kauai Kahuna was attentive, well-organized, and very pleasant to work with. We would 100 percent return and recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at villa 26 with my in-laws. It was perfect for four adults with plenty of space for all of us to spread out and have both personal space and time together upstairs.
We spent most of our time when we weren't out and about seeing the sites enjoying the beautiful lanai with the mountain views and night stars. And we loved being so close to the 1 Hotel for morning coffee walks.
The property is updated and incredibly clean and well maintained - exactly like the photos!
The kitchen is one of the best stocked we have come across in a rental home. We also enjoyed the use of the beach equipment when we went out to enjoy the local beaches. Note to management: A non-stick pan would have been great and one of four beach chairs is broken.
Would highly recommend a stay here to any families looking for a great spot to explore Kauai!

We have stayed in many places in Kauai over the years but I think this is our favorite. Beautiful mountain views from the lanais and the ocean view and sunsets right out your front door! The unit is really nice and well stocked. I have only good things to say about this lovely condo. We hated to leave and hope to return again in the future.

Loved Hideaway view sunsets, Hanalei bay. House comfy, kitchen great-well stocked. Bed comfortable, location spectacular. Only complaint—never stayed in a beach place without beach chairs and umbrella.
