Beautiful setting on the point. Not many places in the world where you can see the sunrise and sunset from the same house. Well stocked with essentials. Plenty of room for 9 of us. Great cross breeze through the house. So lovely to hear the periodic rain and many birds. It was a fantastic, well-earned getaway for our young adults. Memories they will never forget! Thank you. Aloha!
We had a fantastic time. The property manager was very kind and responsive. The home is absolutely perfect. A short walk across the street and you get the most amazing sunset view from the golf course overlooking the bay and the mountains. It was breathtaking. The waves sang us to sleep each night. We had a wonderful time just relaxing at the house, playing games and ending the day in the spa tub. We are already planning our next visit.
Hideaways Beach was awesome and so convenient. We enjoyed stargazing at night and whale watching during the day on the back deck. Plenty of room for our multigenerational family,of 10. The house and surrounding area exceeded expectations, which were high.
The house is set up to accommodate a large group but is very family friendly, family members of all ages. The views are spectacular from both sides of the house, watching the ocean to watching the golfers. We had such a great time and would love to come back.
Convenient to shopping, dining, and places to explore. Great views of the ocean and mountains on comfortable decks! Loves the swim spa with the amazing ocean view!
As soon as you walk in, you know itâs a special place. The views are spectacular and the house was well stocked with everything a family may need. Just steps from Queenâs bath, which was such a treat for the kids to go and swim there in the mornings (make sure to only go in low tide!). Staying here made for an unforgettable vacation. Will always remember watching the sunrise from the gorgeous lanai.
The property was great. It had everything we needed in the kitchen and some bonus equipment in the garage that was handy for the beach. The location was great for the north side of the island.
There were 8 of us at Whale Hale and we all had such an amazing time. The kids loved the swim spa and the air hockey table. The breeze from the tradewinds felt so good. The beds were comfortable. I loved grilling with a view of Hanalei and the gorgeous purple sunset. Everything about the house was perfect. 10/10 would recommend and would absolutely stay again!
After we stopped gazing at THE VIEWS, we really enjoyed this spacious home complete with 2 dishwashers, 2 stoves, and 2 washer/dryers! The home is clean and well stocked. We'd return in a heartbeat.
My family and I had an amazing time in Princeville at this beautiful property. The views of both the mountain range overlooking Hanalei Bay and the Pacific Ocean are breathtaking. The house itself was fully stacked with all the amenities we needed for a more than comfortable stay with a full kitchen, outdoor grill, heated jacuzzi, and even had a wide range of beach toys available for us to use. Highly recommend this property for families or large groups.
Well run, well stocked, plenty to do and lots of room for family. View!! A lovely view over Queens Bath. Great location in Princeville. You won't be disappointed. Finally, the management was very responsive to our needs. We truly enjoyed our stay at Whale Hale!
Great views! Well stocked kitchen and baths⊠plenty of space for all of us. Hot tub was working marginally- could only use it a couple nights. But loved the sunrises and sunsets on the patios, and meals on the front porch overlooking Bali Hai was spectacular.
We had seen pictures of this house online, but when we walked in we were still amazed. It's absolutely stunning, and the views are breathtaking. We loved sitting on the lanais, drinking coffee, and relaxing. We also enjoyed the pool, air hockey and ping pong tables. There were 5 adults and 4 children in our group and these were things we could all do together. Thank you for sharing your spacious and beautiful home with us.
The house was beautiful! The view was awesome, saw a lot of whales. The only disappointing factor was there was no pool table which was pictured in the posting. Tons of Beach amenities which was very helpful. Fully stocked kitchen, paper goods. The hot tub was great. We had a great time and Lia and Tanya were great communicators.
Our family of ten loved the house and amenities: the dining table fit all of us comfortably and everyone had her/his own room or suite. There was plenty of room for time together as well as options for time apart. The views were spectacular and both the property owner and manager were exceptionally accessible and helpful. Our family is grateful for being able to be all together for our 50th anniversary.
Overall communications and property were stellar. Our combined familyâs group of nine never felt crowded, ample space for all and the location allowed us to have morning outings, regroup and head back out for remainder of the day which included sunsets every evening Spectacular views from both sides of the house provided sunrise and sunset vistas! Spacious and well appointed, even had 2 washers and dryers- a great feature. Overall, highly recommend this property - only callout was the hot tub, couldnât get jets or lights to turn on but never reached out to property manager as it was our very last evening but not a deal breakerâ fantastic stay!
We just spent a week in this beautuful home perched at the edge of a spectacular location. Stunning views from both floors - ocean, tropical fauna, mountains, and valley. So peaceful sitting out on the numerous decks and enjoying the beauty and tranquility around us. The open living room and kitchen space invites all to lounge or pitch in with dining or fun activities. The billiard table, jetted tub, ping pong table and spacious bedrooms and bathrooms were appreciated by our party of 10. The laundry room with two sets of washers and dryers were a luxury. Wonderful walking and running paths await you outside the front door.
Historic Hanalei town is just down the hill from Princeville. We enjoyed the Haraguchi Rice Mill and Taro Patches tour. Our young adults had a blast on their Kaua'i backcountry tubing adventure.
Lia was easy to reach and quick to respond to our lodging request - mahalo!
Tanya was helpful and very accommodating. We greatly appreciated it!
Such an amazing family time shared for Christmas week - we will treasure our memories for a long time. 3 generations - just priceless!
Why did we absolutely LOVE this house? Let me count the ways, not necessarily in orderâŠ
1. Location- Princeville is upscale, quiet, close to beaches and Hanalei. It is paradise and by far our favorite place on the island. Saturdaytheyhad a coolfarmers market upthe road at Makai Golf Course where we got tropical flowers and fruits.
2. Views- the back lanai looked over the ocean for miles and we saw waves crash into lava rock below. This was the number one place we hung out. (Isaw whales first time ever! And front lanai at Hanalei Bay and Bali mountains. The family was blown away by the sunset and surroundings.
3. Amenities- the Kitchen had every appliance and gadget one could need! We grilled on the gas grill in the garage too. With 2 dishwashers and washer dryer sets this was convenient for our big group. There was air hockey and ping pong but didnt use those because the weather was amazing.
4. Space- we had 7 and never felt crowded. Huge kitchen, dining with tons of windows and natural light. Plenty of space everywhere.
5. Toys- tons of snorkel gear, chairs, coolers, towels, floaties.
6. Clean and new- for the most part it felt like a new home. Modern and lovely furnishings.
7. The geckos- pretty green and blue ones sunbathe daily on the front deck.
A+ we would stay here again no hesitation!
This house is located in a terrific location, providing fantastic views of the ocean, and lots of privacy (other than the LOUD roosters waking us at 5am). It is walking distance to the trailhead for the hike down to Queen's Bath, which is a huge bonus (cars wait in line for hours to park for the hike, which is great). The house is comfortable and has plenty of room, however be aware that the floors are very slippery (we had an elderly grandmother with us and tried to keep her on the top floor, but that bathroom has a tub so she had to shower downstairs). There is also no AC, so one is forced to keep all the doors and windows open to keep the house temperature at a bearable level. So if one is leaving for the day and locking up, the house takes a while to cool back down upon returning. In addition, the lack of humidity control means that some door locks are rusted and not working properly, and the kitchen cabinets are in need of cleaning/renovating. I did not feel secure leaving valuables at the house given the fact that we left screened windows open to keep it from getting too hot. The neighborhood seems very safe, and is beautiful, but it is not gated or monitored. Overall, we would stay here again, but just some things to be aware of when you are booking. My husband and son played golf on the adjacent course, and said it was the best course they've ever played at! Nice paths for runners as well. Also, there is only a small grocery store in the neighborhood, so best to stock up at Costco or Safeway in Lihue before making the drive up to Princeville. As an aside, we booked helicopter tours with Blue Hawaiian and they were fantastic! Well worth the price.
When we saw this property we knew we had to buy it. The views from every window are just incredible. And the community of Princeville has shopping, restaurants, walking paths, and golf. We are dedicated to making this a home your family or group will enjoy. We have tried to think of everything you may need to have the best vacation ever.
