This lovely house was great for our family of 8. Well appointed kitchen was great for cooking though I’m always puzzled by places that sleep 8 but only have 6 chairs for dining. The loft and garage gave extra room for the two 5 year olds to play. Lovely place to stay

Everything we needed and more! Quiet and beautiful location. Great host who responded quickly to any questions. Things available at the time we went that we used: bikes, Snorkel equipment, outdoor porch furniture, beach chairs and umbrellas, beach towels, blender, toaster, rice cooker, great pans (cast iron, stainless steel and nonstick), iron and ironing board, blow dryer, flat iron, magnifying mirror, foosball table, puzzles and games. Also available at the time we went but didn't use: portacribs, high chair, air mattress and pump, and crockpot.

Absolutely stunning location. Only Seconds before you get to see amazing views of the mountains, and it’s located very close to queens bath.
House could use a good deep clean and some basic maintenance. Wine fridge don’t work and the microwave didn’t have a tray. Had issues with lots of ants when we were there as well in the main bathroom. Outside of that, home was way more spacious than I had anticipated, beds were decent for being a rental and then kitchen was very large. Accommodated a couple people in the kitchen cooking at one time just fine.
Overall would I recommend staying here and I would stay there again!

The location was fantastic in a homely neighborhood, easy access to beach, reasturants with minutes drive. The house was clean, very well equipped for a family with young kids. Catherine was super friendly for neighborhood suggestions and very prompt in helping with our requests. The entrance lotus png with purple lotus was so pretty, well maintained house, good ventilation too. Overall our family enjoyed the stay at this house.

Nice house and we enjoyed our stay but there were a few things in need of small repair. We stayed 2 wks and we did not tell the property owner about any of these issues. She was attentive in making herself available if needed.
BBQ wouldn't stay lit, the ceiling fan in main living rm squeaks and there was an issue with flying ants and other ants in the master bedroom and bathroom at night.
It was clean and there were beautiful surroundings.Nice yard with some privacy with lovely singing birds and bowl lilly ponds. If your older their is a wonderful walking path through the golf course but you can not walk to the beach. Most activities on the other side of the island. Great breeze in the evening and food shopping close by. We rated this stay 4 stars

This was a wonderful home. We loved the Large kitchen and really appreciated the beach toys and bikes that was there for us to use. She was very helpful with questions. It was a little warm at night, but it helped to shower before bed and point the fan at our faces.

My wife and I stayed here for 12 nights on our honeymoon. The house was bigger than what we required but we wanted something spacious and private and this more than fit the bill. The owner, Catherine was communicative and helpful. The house is gorgeous and has everything you could want for a vacation stay including beach gear, lots of towels, grill, bicycles, ping pong, foosball and more. The backyard is private with a very comfortable sitting area. There's no air-conditioning which I was a little apprehensive about given that we were there in high summer but the weather is perfect and there are fans everywhere, plus large sliding doors and lots of windows which keep the air circulated so we were never uncomfortable at any point. Highly recommended and I would go back.

Stayed at this house for over a week. The kitchen/outdoor grill were perfect for making meals in. The location was great to watch sunrise and sunsets. Our property manager was easy to communicate and prompt with any concerns we had. Would highly recommend!

I stayed with my family in this beautiful house. The kitchen, the heart of any house, is superlative in terms of space and appointment. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and would happily stay again.

It suited our needs perfectly!
Location: It was on Government Camp Loop, so we could walk to any location in Government Camp (even when it was extremely snowy!) easily.
Information: Binder was very informative; parking pass was very helpful.
Cabin: Bed was cozy, couch was comfy, and the fireplace was a nice touch. Lots of natural light. Mudroom was essential during winter conditions.
Access: We went during a winter storm, so the route to and from the house was what someone was able to snow-shovel. Additionally, the stairs to the 2nd story were pretty narrow. I say this to indicate that if you aren't mobile or if you have health/walking/stability issues, this probably isn't the cabin for you (especially during the winter). It worked great for us however.

House was exactly as stated, there were a couple of electrical issues but host was receptive and fixed. All of our needs were met and the location was good for us, safe, quiet and comfortable. We didn’t use the games provided or the upstairs at all.

Great but no ac
This property was perfect for all our needs except ac. We had to buy a fan because it was so hot up in the loft. Someone also came during our stay and moved some things and locked a storage area. It would’ve been fine but they should’ve notified us of the visit. The wine frig is broken. It was over heating. Not a problem we just used the main frig. Great kitchen! We had most of our meals and family time there. The back porch was perfect in the evenings! The tvs didn’t work for us because the remotes didn’t work. That sucked. Our kids enjoyed the ping pong table, bikes, and boogie boards! It was very comfortable except the ac. It did not mention there was no ac when I booked the house in the description. Loved that we had our private washer and dryer! Overall we had a blast just wished we could watch tv in the evenings. Not enough trash cans to accommodate the trash piled up from previous renters.

A fabulous fun house!
Location is excellent, but what the family enjoyed most was all the fun toys and games in the house! Ping pong, foosball, bikes, boogie boards, snorkel equipment! And manager was very responsive whenever I emailed. Thanks for such a memorable stay!

Our stay in Kauai was simply amazing! The Princeville area is superb and the house beautiful!!
What a great rental experience! The house was beautifully decorated inside and out. Super big kitchen for family dining. If we had questions, the response time from owner was quick. The "kids" made great use of the ping-pong table in the garage as well as the bikes. Just such an easy, flawless vacation. Thanks Catherine!

Beautiful Princeville Home
Catherine's home was the perfect place for a family holiday on Kauai. The house is very large and comfortable - equipped with a huge kitchen/dining area, grill, family rooms. There was enough room for 6 adults and 2 children to sleep comfortably. The house is located in Princeville and is walking distance to the grocery store, restaurants, parks, as well as some beaches. It is an easy drive to Hanalei Bay and Anini beach (and other parts of Kauai). Catherine provided snorkel/beach gear - there was also ping pong and foosball tables and a lot of games which were big hits with the kids. The check in /check out processes were easy and Catherine was quick to answer any questions we had. We had a wonderful holiday and would definitely stay at this house again for any future trips!

Nice property a short drive from lovely beaches
My family of 4 had a great time staying here. The location is good, just a short drive to some beautiful north shore beaches, or a 20 min walk to the Princeville resort. The many ceiling fans go some way to making up for the lack of air conditioning, but AC would be a wonderful upgrade.

Awesome rental home in Princeville!
Couldn’t have been happier with the home! It had everything we needed! The bed were very comfortable and kitchen was fully stocked! We enjoyed using the beach supplies and bikes! Would love to stay here again! Katherine was wonderful to work with! When the shower head wasn’t working properly, she was quick to get there and get it changed! Highly recommend this property!

10 Days in Princeville
We all loved this house! The layout is amazing! The Kitchen has everything you could ever need. We really enjoyed cooking and hanging out together here. The owner is delightful and even offered local recommendations. Everyone in our party mentioned how comfortable the beds were too! I would stay here again and I have already recommended this home to other friends.

Beautiful Princeville home that exceeded expectations.
Well decorated & equipped home. Perfect location for enjoying Kauai’s North Shore. The bicycles, beach chairs & beach gear were awesome! The only improvement we would suggest is air conditioning. Although the home has a plethora of ceiling & floor fans, we could have used A/C a couple times during our stay.

Amazing
Everything was exceptionall. The rooms, the decor, the cleanliness, the landscape, the responsiveness of the owner!
The kitchen is gourmet standard so it was only appropriate that we hire a chef whom prepared an amazing meal and raved about the kitchen. The property was in walking distance to restaurants, a grocery and ice cream store and more.. we took full advantage of the bikes and as well as the beach gear. Will definitely be back!

Brilliant, impeccably maintained house.
The Mapau house was brilliant. Close to everything, decorated beautifully, and perfect for a family.
We were able to easily access every part of the island in 45 minutes or less.
They honestly thought about everything. Boogie boards, bikes, chairs, umbrella...
We will certainly be back!

Loved it!
I have rented many homes on KAUAI and this is a gem. The kitchen is amazing and the vaulted ceilings gives the home such a spacious feel. It always felt great coming home to this abode after adventuring the island all day. The master bedroom bed is so comfortable, I slept deeply each night.

Very nice home in a great location.
We stayed in this home for eleven nights. The house is very nice.
We were happy with the location, easy access to many activities.
We had one problem and that was with the couch. Although the couch and loveseat look great they were very uncomfortable for us. Not enough support, and unfortunately it hurt our backs.
On a high note, the outdoor furniture was great! Very comfortable. I was really impressed with how quickly it would dry after a downpour.
Overall I would recommend this house.

Beautiful home in a great location
This lovely home in Princeville was the perfect place for my husband and I to retreat on Kauai. This house has all you need to be comfortable. The king bed in the master was so cozy and the kitchen is dreamy. The hardwood floors are elegant and the home is spacious and well decorated. There were lots of extras like the washer/dryer, super large TV for movies, outdoor shower and his and her sinks and shower heads, etc... Catherine does a great job with this property. We will come again for sure. Would be great for a family of 6. Mahalo

Great house in a great location
Enjoyed 10 nights in this Princeville house that has pretty much everything you need to feel at home in paradise. Great location with beautiful landscaping all around to make it feel very private. House is stocked with everything you need for home and going out to the beach. Plenty of entertainment in the house from the foosball table, board games, 2 large tvs, and whole house stereo system. Easy walk to the Princeville shopping center as well as Queens Bath and a couple other beaches just below the Westin. Had a great time staying at the Mapu house. Thank you!

Princeville, Hawaii
This property is very nice and worked out great for our group of 5 adults. There are a couple of items needing repair in the house, such as the kitchen sink facet, and a noisy ceiling fan. The owner was very responsive to our call for help when the internet went down. Overall, we had a great experience.

Gorgeous home base
The home is beautiful, from the lovely panel lighting throughout the home to the furnishings. We loved the dual showers in the master and the jack and jill setup for the kids rooms was great. We enjoyed the loft/game room and had plenty of foosball fun! Outdoor shower was convenient, closet space was generous throughout the home. The kitchen was very nicely equipped. Lovely center island with swing out bench seating was well designed. Nice quiet street. We hope to stay there again. Thank you!
