Great place to stay

by Marile

This was a great stay. House has everything you need including great beach toys, a cooler, snorkelling gear and even bikes for the kids. Kitchen is very well appointed. The location on the golf course is great. Great indoor, outdoor living space and had a few bbq’s! Really close to the shops in Princeville as well as local beaches!

Mahalo for staying with us and the excellent review Marile! We look forward to hosting you and your family again!

A wonderful home

by james kerr

We loved this home and found it better than the pictures - and that rarely happens. We liked the extra space- a large kitchen and the outdoor space was perfect. Plenty of room for four people to sit in the shade - eat and relax outside under cover. Looking out onto the first hole of the golf course was surprisingly pleasant with open views for perhaps a half hour mile across the course. We golfed at the golf course which was very convenient. In particular the beds were very comfortable and when we arrived the place was spotless. You wont be disappointed if you rent this home .

We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay with us! Mahalo for the fantastic review!

Beautiful house!

by Megan Sandone

This was a wonderful rental house and perfect for our group of five (two parents, one grandparent, two kids). The house is spacious and thoughtfully laid out, with a large open living room/dining room/kitchen area. The kitchen was large enough to accommodate all three adults at once (rare for a rental) and the kids loved the long breakfast bar. The bedrooms are comfortable with large closets, and having three full bathrooms was very helpful. We appreciated the layout that afforded everyone their own space, with no bedrooms right on top of each other. The bed in the master bedroom was the most comfortable mattress I have ever slept on, and my only regret is that I forgot to take a picture of the brand so that I can immediately buy one for my own house. I will note that the mattress on the pull-out couch would probably not have been comfortable for adults, but my four-year-old had no complaints. The kitchen was well-equipped; having a coffee grinder was particularly welcome so that we could buy whole bean coffee at Costco before our arrival. The appliances were higher end than you generally see in a rental, which was great for our family who loves to cook. There are more beach chairs, sand toys, and pool floaties than I have seen in any other rental in our 15 years of coming to Kauai - this was the first year that we didn\'t have to rent additional beach chairs! My kids also loved the pool, which was surprisingly warm (I don\'t know if it is heated). The lanai was large and very relaxing. We spent more time out there than anywhere else, and it was great for breakfast, remote work time, and dinner. The pictures do not show the outdoor dining set that has been added, so there is now plenty of seating space for everyone to eat meals outside. The view of the golf course was wonderful, and the golfers in our family appreciated the close proximity to the clubhouse. We would rent this house again in a heartbeat. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It sounds like a lovely time spent with your family and we look forward to your return!

Great stay February 2025

by Brady

It was a great trip and this rental house is large, spacious and adds a large backdoor patio looking over the lush, super green, golf courseI'd reciommend it for sure! The only Con is the blanket situation -- I expected there would be a couple of blankets but there wasn't any aside from the actual bedding. Blankets and a a few more options in the game closet. Game closet would be clutch.

 

Mahalo for the review and feedback! We'll make sure the blankets are in the closet for future guests.

Gorgeous, spacious, well equipped home in quiet setting

by Jackie

This home was perfect for our family of six with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a huge living/dining/kitchen area and a lovely covered outdoor dining area. It was spotlessly clean and well appointed and in a quiet golf course neighborhood. A few things to be aware of are (1) no air conditioning, which was ok for us in the winter, but might be pretty toasty in the summer, (2) a pull-out sofa bed that was a bit saggy and uncomfortable for an adult to sleep on, but would probably be ok for kids, (3) a bit further than expected from a full-sized grocery store and the beaches--about 15 minutes drive, (4) and lack of nonstick cookware, which made cooking a bit difficult and messy. But despite those small things, I would definitely stay here again. It's actually the loveliest VRBO/holiday rental we've ever had, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Maholo!

Mahalo for the 5-star review Jackie! I'm curious where you went for groceries because the Foodland Grocery Store located in Princeville is no more than a 5-minute drive away. Thanks for the feedback. We'll update the cookware at the house. Mahalo! Makana Kauai Properties

Holidays in Kauai

by Michael
Great Property for our family to get away for the holidays; enough space to quietly separate when needed while also great gathering space inside and outside.

 

Mahalo for the great review! We love this home specifically for the reasons you listed. Glad you had a great holiday and please return soon.

The Best!

My family and I had a fabulous week at Hale Alaula! The home was beautiful, clean and spacious. It was a treat to return to after a day of adventures. Conveniently located, quiet, and well stocked with essentials. Makana properties were fantastic to work with. We needed to extend our stay for a day and it was no problem whatsoever.
Mahalo for the great review Eda! We're glad we were able to accommodate your request to stay an extra day.

Perfect Kauai Retreat

by Cam
My family and I came and stayed at Hale Alaula for the second time and we left our stay extremely satisfied (again!). The property was meticulously maintained and cleaned and provided us the quiet Kauai experience we were looking for. This home is laid out perfectly and has tons of natural light and open space. Also, it has a large kitchen, living room and outdoor patio space that spills out to the golf course. Makana was very attentive and made sure that we were well taken care of throughout our stay. Once again we are very pleased with our experience and are looking forward to our trip next year.

Perfect Family Houe

by Nicola La Herran

The home was very clean and well cared for in all aspects. We've been staying in Princeville since 2002 and this was by the far the most well cared for home. A great kitchen for family meals and the outdoor patio space was used by our group every evening. Not a single item worthy of a negative comment, it was all just perfect!! We will be back!!

Mahalo for your wonderful review! We look forward to your return!

Beautiful space

by Kseniya
We had everything we needed and the location is great - walking distance to the beach (about 20 mins), the grocery store, the Saturday farmer’s market. Great kitchen, a lot of space outside for family meals and relaxing.

 

We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay with us! Mahalo for the fantastic review!

Spacious and comfortable

by Jennifer

Our extended family had a restful and enjoyable time during our annual visit to Kauai. Hale Alaula was immaculate, spacious, and comfortable. The descriptions of the property were accurate. It was conveniently situated close to many North Shore activities, beaches, et cetera, yet was in a comfortable, quiet, and private neighborhood that allowed us to end our adventure-filled days in quiet and comfort.

 

Mahalo for staying with us and the excellent review! We look forward to hosting you again!

Lovely from Family of 8

by Bryce and Karen
This is the 27th time we have been to Kauai and Hale Alaula is our favorite residence thus far. We will rent through Makana Kauai again! The communication was immediate and kind. The amenities far exceeded our expectations. We would only say something negative to make sure the dates we want for the house in the future were available =) but the house is fantastic so we couldn’t come up with anything. Thank you for stocking the house generously! The kids loved the toys!

Wonderful family stay at Hale Alaula

by Frank F.
We had a wonderful stay at Hale Alaula. This property was great, comfortable, clean for our extended family (6 adults and 2 kids). We were able to make this our little home away from home for 11 nights and I would absolutely stay there again in the future. Great property!
Mahalo for staying with us! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and really look forward to hosting you again!

This home was beautiful and had everything we needed!! The entire property is beautiful! We stayed with 3 couples and had plenty of room. We were thankful for all the fans provided they were nice at night. The mangers were quick to respond to any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again.
We loved hearing that you had a fantastic stay on all levels. Return soon.

Outstanding Gem on the Golf Course in the Middle of Princeville

by Robert G.
Beautiful 4-bedroom home, situated on the 1st fairway of the Makai Golf Course in Princeville. Beautifully furnished and well stocked with all of the amenities needed to make for a perfect week in Kauai.
Mahalo for the outstanding review! We're glad you enjoyed Hale Alaula and we look forward to hosting you again!

Rent this House

The house was beautiful. Pictures don't do it justice. Great space for six of us. We woke up early to the roosters and birds. Would say the outside shower is at the back of the garage - for some reason we didn't see it. The washing machine probably needs to be serviced or replaced as it takes multiple rinse/spin cycles for each wash. Otherwise, great place to walk and access Princeville and Hanalei Bay. Drive to South/West side of the island was easy. Had a great time!
Aloha Aimee, Mahalo nui for your stellar review on Hale Alaula. We agree, this is the house to rent, it's just such a beautiful home and great home based while vacationing on Kauai. We loved hearing that you enjoyed your stay and enjoyed hosting you. Return soon.

Perfect Family vacation

by Cara V.
Our family of 8 spent Christmas vacation in beautiful Princeville-
This home was everything you could dream. Beautiful furniture, artwork, nice linens, fully equipped kitchen... everything was top notch. We had a little problem with the hot water heater but management was quick to repair. The location was just beautiful- we rented e bikes from Biking in Paradise and rode the neighborhood morning and evening- enjoying the beauty and peaceful surroundings. We would definitely rent this home again if we travel with a large group again.
Sounds like a magnificent Christmas! Mahalo for the great review!
