The house was under ten minutes away from the quaint Hanalei. The cedar all over the home gives off a great vibe of old Hawaii.We will definitely rent again when we come back.
The HVH homeâs pictures do not do it justice; the inside of the home is beautiful! There is plenty of space for a large family, though you probably only want to use the loft space for older kids that can handle ladder type stairs to avoid a potential fall. Without the loft space, we had plenty of space for our three kids and three adults (we thankfully had brought air mattresses for two of the little kids). The kitchen is a good size and well equipped to allow for home cooking. There were even spices and condiments! Ms. Jane provided beach chairs, towels, body boards, snorkels and toys for the kids! And when our trip was ending, we had laundry amenities, including soap. The care taker was so kind and made sure we had all we needed, and Ms. Jane sends directions for her home via the mail, which is appreciated, even in this day and age, since sometimes cell service is spotty on the island.We loved our stay at HVH and hope to return soon!
The house was very charming and the perfect location for all we did. The views from the deck were stunning. Perfect place for morning coffee and to watch the birds. Communication with the owner was very good. I would stay at this house again. Close to the beach, restaurants, food trucks and shopping.
This house was large, charming, clean, and so comfortable for me and my family. The high, beamed ceilings and many windows made it feel spacious and bright. The highlight was the wrap-around porch with stunning views of Hanalei Bay, mountains, and lush, tropical foliage. I would 100% recommend this house!
We loved Jane's home and had a great stay. The house looks just like the pictures. It has wonderful charm and character, and great decor with the pictures, artwork and old furniture pieces. The kitchen is well stocked with equipment and utensils.Best of all was the outdoor deck that we spent a lot of time on enjoying the beautiful trees, bushes and incredible views, and watching/listening to the birds. And no chickens :)We liked the location about a mile west of Princeville and about 3 miles east of Hanalei, which made it convenient to visit both towns. It is close to the main street which makes access convenient and we didn't notice any excessive traffic noise, but you do need to be careful going in and out of the drive, and the first time you arrive it is a little tricky to make the correct turn.Jane's directions are precise and if you follow them you will find the house without a problem.Communication with Jane was good and we'd love to return some day to this beautiful place.
We loved this property! The home and decor were very Old Hawaii style. The home is spacious and clean, and the wrap-around lanai is awesome. The bed and other furniture were very comfortable. We loved sitting on the lanai and listening to the birds sing. There was a grocery store and other shopping nearby. Our favorite meal was at the Kilauea Fish Market - the fresh fish plate was delicious! The Limahuli Garden & Preserve was beautiful. Mahalo, Jane, for sharing your beautiful home!!
My husband & I had a great 5 night stay at the Vista House. It felt like home. All instructions were very clear, we didn't have a single issue. The owner was wonderful to chat with prior to arriving. Comfy bed. Well stocked kitchen. The bathrooms were dated, but we would definitely stay here again.
Beautiful and spacious living space, and the view from the veranda was to die for. The host was very responsive to questions. The highway noise that others had warned me about was not at all a problem, but there were some very loud noisy dogs that woke us up every morning- not the host 's problem. I would stay again in a flash, and the price was very reasonable. I'm fact, Kauai is so easy to get around I would base the while trip here.
This property provided everything you need in the kitchen for cooking, etc. some things like shampoo, etc. were not in shower but under sink so we purchased our own upon not seeing it in the bathrooms. Definitely a lot of antique type furniture so we basically lived out of our suitcases rather than trying to open the dresser, drawers or anything. Very clean and spacious. I was under the impression that it was a little more private as the pictures did not show the house right next-door that shares the driveway. The traffic can be noisy at night as it is right off of the road. And the neighborâs dogs barked a lot into the evening. The porch area is beautiful and table outside is nice for sitting. Can be hot even with the fans on, but we are from Alaska so used to a little cooler temperatures. Overall a nice place to stay and plenty of room. The washer and dryer are not in the unit, but are downstairs in the covered parking area under the house. There was laundry soap available, which was nice.
Excellent location to explore the north part of Kauai
Lovely, spacious house with incredible views. The kitchen setup allowed us to create some delicious meals. Very much enjoyed our stay here. Highly recommend.
We gathered for a short 4 day catch up before heading to Maui for a global event. The accomodation was perfect, spacious and clean.Highly recommend your place to others, I hope to return one day.
Perfect location for North shore activities. Itâs literally only 1.5 miles from Hanalei, which is my favorite place to be. Close to Tunnels also for great snorkeling. The house is very well stocked with everything you might need. Beach chairs, beach towels, mask & snorkels & water shoes. The kitchen has everything youâll need. Just bring the food. Would definitely stay here again.
This property was exactly as pictured and we enjoyed our stay here very much. The location was great and the house was very clean and comfortable. It was right off a busy road and there was some road noise but it didn't last all night and didn't bother us. This property does not have A/C which was an oversight on my part to review but there was a nice cross-breeze which meant we had to leave the patio doors open (and they didn't lock which was somewhat alarming (at night) for those of us that lock our doors 24/7). Also, not a deal breaker but it was annoying there was no dishwasher detergent (kitchen)or hand soap (kitchen and both bathrooms). A big plus there was washer/dryer (there was detergent pods for that but I had brought my own for that!)
We absolutely loved the serenity of the home. So warm and welcoming. We always prefer a cozy more traditional Hawaiian home than a new ridiculous over priced house! Home had all amenities needed. Very warm welcoming and obviously decorated with love. Beautiful antique pieces of furniture were a beautiful. Layout was great and so much privacy. The lush landscape and surrounding lanai were perfect for relaxing and watching the sunset! Very family friendly! Owner extremely nice and very easy to communicate with! Thanks for sharing your home with us! We truly enjoyed our week stay and would definitely return! The Woowards from Texas!
