This was a fantastic place to stay and walking distance to Queens Bath. It was also close to all the other beaches as well. We had a fabulous time.

What a wonderful home! A great location- lots of walking trails, paths and exploring! Close to grocery runs! And easy to drive to beaches! Home included lots of beach towels, boogie boards, beach chairs!! Gorgeous backyard and patio for early morning coffee w friends! The home was fresh and clean and so much space! We had 2 families stay and it was perfect!

The house and neighborhood were amazing for a family of 8 including 5 year old! Quiet, peaceful, comfortable and not in a neighborhood of tourists. Contact with host for house was easy and responsive. We were able to relax and really felt like we were away from everything you associate with busy everyday life. We walked to Hideaway Beach, amazing for snorkeling but a hike down to beach. We also spent a lot of family time at Hanalei Bay and beaches which were perfect for kids, surfing and spending time on uncrowded beaches. Hanalei is a really cute, small, laid back community which we really enjoyed. So much nicer than the crowded side of the island at Poipu! We have been to Kauai several times and will be back!

The property was a great size for 6 adults. We had 2 couples and 2 singles in the group, so everyone had their own room and bath (the 2 singles shared the 3rd full bath). The house was well appointed with a fully stocked kitchen and outdoor grill which gave us great flexibility with mealtimes. The hosts provided beach gear (towels, chairs, snorkel equipment, boogie boards), so the group was well prepared for multiple days at North Shore beaches. The hot tub in the back allowed a relaxing end to the day. Cooling options for the house included window AC units or the louvers that allowed the trade winds to ventilate. Princeville is a quiet neighborhood with the typical Kauai Roosters that announce the arrival the morning! This is a great property that is well located to serve as home base for the North Shore attractions. Thank you for the great stay!

We loved the house (Hale Anu Keanu), and the location in Princeville was nice and close to Hanalei Bay where we went every day to surf and relax on the beach. The house is also close to some good hikes and there are a bunch of good restaurants a short drive away. Our family really enjoyed eating outside on the lani and soaking in the hot tub in the back yard. Certainly a place we would love to visit again!

KAUAI Paradise
Responsive property manager, more beautiful than the pictures in a picturesque neighborhood, short walk to Queens Bath trailhead (a must do), the six of us were so comfortable with space for private time and plenty of group fun and meal time. We hope to stay here again! Mahalo!!!

Great property and stay!
We had a really great stay at this Princeville home. Communications with the Elite management team were excellent. The house was exactly as advertised, and it was extremely clean with some upscale features, and well-stocked with quality cookware, dishes, linens, beach towels, etc. Our group was 2 families with 2 kids each and the house accommodated us very well. Although there were some walkable trails nearby, the ones we found that seemed to go to a beach were pretty overgrown and not safe-looking for kids. So, we mostly drove to other beaches and activities which was fine. The cupboard containing beach equipment was a very nice plus. We have previously stayed on Kauai at the Westin in apartment units with full kitchens that were pretty nice, but this was so much better. Our 2 families have stayed together in many different vacation rental homes on the west coast and hawaii, and this was definitely one of the best!

Great location!
We had a great stay…we had a few problems with the stove and ice maker, but the property manager was very good at communicating with us and trying to get everything fixed. Just a short walk to Queens bath which was amazing! A little bit of a drive to all our activities, but we didn’t mind the drive. The floors were sticky and they don’t want you to wear shoes in the house so we go some sandals just for the house…other than that the spa was nice, the rooms and bathrooms were nice and the neighborhood was nice and quiet.

Lovely stay in beautiful Princeville
We had a great time at this property. The house is huge with loads of space to spread out or to gather together. The kitchen was well-equipped and we were so happy with the gift basket with some Hawaiian bananas and a papaya!
The beds were comfortable and the showers were good. We didn't use the AC and were happy to leave the window flaps open to get natural air in.
The location is great and surrounded by so much beauty. It was our first introduction to the Kauai roosters and they made us laugh every time we heard them.
The property manager was easy to get hold off and was quick to solve our issues. We were pleased with the support we received.
Would recommend a stay here or at another of their properties.

Great Family vacation home
This beautiful house was perfect for our family of 8 for a Hawaiian holiday. Comfortable and very well equipped for all ages, 6 to 77. Loved our stay and will book again for a return trip to this beautiful island paradise.

Great Home Base For a Family Retreat
We recently stayed at Hale Anu Keanu with our extended family. It was a fantastic home base! The layout is great for cooking dinners and relaxing on the back lanai. It's only a short walk to Happy Talk Lounge for those looking for afternoon cocktails, and Makai golf club for those looking for golf. If hiking's your thing, Queens bath is at the end of the street. Very easy acess to Hanalei and the north shore in general. The house is stocked with bikes and beach gear. Will be back!

Amazing!
The property was wonderful. There were six of us, my husband and I, our 23-year-old son, and three of his friends. We were upstairs and they were downstairs and they also enjoyed watching their shows on the large smart tv. It was truly a wonderful time and we will return.

Loved this house!
Our large family enjoyed this house so much! A few reasons: beautifully decorated and spacious living areas, large bedrooms and bathrooms, well supplied kitchen, many beach items, location, and views from the front and back. Air conditioning was a nice amenity as well. It felt like our home away from home!

Great Princeville location
We joined another family for a trip to the north shore, and found this home to be quite comfortable and convenient to activities in Princeville and Hanalei. The house easily accommodated both families (8 people, including 4 kids, 7 and under), and was close to Princeville Center (which made for easy supply runs). Would definitely recommend!

Great stay
This was a great house to enjoy with the family. We loved the wind that would blow through the house. Very nice neighborhood and easy walking to Princeville resort for a nice meal and beautiful views! We also used the surfboards to teach kids how to surf on Hanalei Bay, a huge hit! House had all the necessary things needed for a great stay.

The Best
Location was excellent. Home was clean and well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. This was one of the best rentals I have ever stayed at.
Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Great for large families
Great house overall! Master bedroom upstairs gave privacy and the bedrooms down stairs could be used by all the kids. There was lots of room for everything to eat together since it had a large dining room. Even though there was a nice breeze, it was very hot at night, especially for the elders in their house, with no AC. The ceiling fans didn’t help too much. It was. A nice location in Princeville, the super market and some stores were close by. Beaches are close but they all require hiking down to the water, which some of the elders and children could not do....so we had to drive to beaches that you could just walk into.

Please add some air conditioning
Beautiful home. We enjoyed our stay. However, it would be nice to have some type of air conditioning. Made for very uncomfortable sleeping. I do not remember that being advertised that there was no air conditioners and that would have made a difference when booking! Nonetheless we had a wonderful vacation and cannot wait to come back to Kauai!!!

Awesome house!!
We enjoyed this house very much. The house was clean and extremely well kept. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals for our family of 10. Our daughter got married on the island so we had wedding preparations to do, there was plenty of room for that and having people over.
There are nice bikes and plenty of beach gear available for use.
The beds were comfortable and the furnishings were up to date and comfortable.
The location is perfect and in a nice community area. We took advantage of the walking paths, the bike paths and the golf course.
The property manager was wonderful and answered any questions we had.
We highly recommend this house and would stay here again.

Amazing property close to some great areas on the island!
This home was incredibly beautiful and wonderful overall. Our one complaint was that there was no air conditioning in the home and the ceiling fans did not push much air through the rooms which was inconvenient for sleep. Being from Las Vegas we wouldn’t have thought a home isn’t already equipped with AC but we forget there are localities that do not always need it. We found a single fan which didn’t do much good for the three rooms we used but the home overall is simply great in all other ways. The home was close to a great village and within walking or driving distance of several beaches and tourist type attractions. We would definitely stay at this home again should we come back.

Perfection! Heaven on Earth
Upon our arrival, we entered this spacious, beautifully appointed home and were in awe in every regard from that moment forward. Every room was immaculate and tastefully furnished, with the highest quality of attention obviously given to the preparation and care of this gorgeous space. It was so incredibly invigorating as well as restful to move through the house and grounds and be able to view the striking, lush green scenery around us. We all became deeply immersed in the beauty that is Kauai--the essence of it and all of its verdant landscape. And to be able to also enjoy the wonders of the ocean on the Island so up close and personal was a profound gift that will live in our memories. This experience was one we want to repeat each year. The management and service were remarkable, indeed. Our every need was anticipated and met. This was beyond a five star hotel vacation.
A special thank you to Debbie Webb for her expert and continually attentive interest in maximizing our enjoyment on your wonderful Island.

A REAL Hawaiian home
We have stayed at this fabulous spot twice -- in May 2015 and April 2017.
It is so much more than a rental house, it's a REAL Hawaiian home. The decor and total ambiance is wonderfully soothing, happy and bright. You get a true feeling of what it's like to live in this part of paradise. All the tropical touches lend to living in the Hawaiian style --from the front lanai for reading and naps to the huge back yard with lush grounds and flowering trees.
The accommodations are first class. We have stayed in rentals all over Europe, South America and across the US. I've never had a kitchen so complete. Not just a small complement of dishes, pots and pans, but 2 full sets of dishes and a wide variety of appliances. The open floor plan is great for cooking, grilling and still being part of the action. A very large dining room is great for big groups and the outdoor table is equally big. The local grocery is very close and has all that you would need. A few restaurants nearby also.
The bedrooms are beautifully appointed. I'm very picky about beds and the 2 we tried were super comfortable. Lots of closet space. Both master suites have great views out the back to the tropical garden and mountains filled with waterfalls. High quality linens and towels. The master baths are enormous with very large walk-in showers with pebble flooring and great water pressure and shower heads. It's like a fancy resort hotel bathroom. It's
also very hand to have the half bath right off the kitchen.
There also is a large selection of sporting equipment available, bikes, boogie boards, beach chairs etc. Very nice to not have to buy them for a short stay.
While there is no ocean view, the lush tropical plantings of the neighborhood and the amazing views of the mountains and many waterfalls make up for it.
This would be a great place for 2 couples, with or without kids, a combined family vacation or a gals getaway trip. You are a 10 minute drive to the "locals" beach, Annini Beach and closer to the historic town of Hanalei. While it is a 45-60 minute drive from the airport, you are in the most quite and peaceful part of Hawaii. If you want action and nightlife, go to Waikiki.
We highly recommend this spot and hope to go back soon!

A perfect getaway to paradise.
A spacious, roomy, wonderfully decorated, yet comfortable getaway with a very homey feeling to it. It was quiet and away from most traffic noise yet close enough to walk to the beach. Everything was immaculately clean and the kitchen was fully equipped. The lanais were large and nicely furnished so one could read a book, take a nap, or have drinks during a rain shower. Bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and comfortable with fresh linens and plenty of amenities. Helicopter rides from the small airport nearby provided an exciting and interesting tour of the island's great beauty.
I would highly recommend it anyone I know. This was one of the most enjoyable and relaxing vacations I have ever had.

This is a beautiful place! Treat yourself on Kauai
This house and property are beautifully decorated and maintained. There are plenty of places within walking distance to enjoy. Whether you want to relax indoors, on the patio, or head for outdoor adventures, this is the place to stay!

Fantastic accommodations and location
I lived in Hawaii in the seventies and have been back multiple times since, to most of the islands. I've used VRBO, HomeAway in Honolulu, Lahina, Boston, Washington DC, and New York city. I have to say that this home and location was probably the over all best I've stayed in. It was clean well equipped spacious and exceeded all my expectations. On my next trip to Kauai I will definitely be looking to stay here again.

Home away from home!
Loved everything about our stay at Hale Anu Keanu! The property is in excellent condition (looks like it was recently renovated!) and pictures barely do it justice. It was our first time staying in Princeville and we really liked the neighborhood. Being able to walk to the beach is a huge plus and Hanalei is just a 5 min drive away. Couldn't have hoped for a better location! Even though there are many restaurants accessible from the house, we often opted for family dinners on the lanai, surrounded by lush greenery, followed by dips in the roomy hot tub. The home itself is well appointed and it was extremely clean when we got there. We can't wait to return!

Wonderful property, fabulous vacation
We were so pleased with this beautiful home. It is even nicer than the pictures. It is beautifully decorated and has a kitchen with everything you could need. We spent delightful times on the multiple lanais especially the covered lanai off the kitchen where we ate many meals. The house is large enough for everyone to gather in the living area or dining room both of which are open to the kitchen. The two master suites are very accommodating and large with generous sized showers. The jacuzzi in the back yard is located in a tropical paradise. We would love to return someday.

We Love This House!
We loved our stay at Hale Anu Keanu! The house was in excellent condition when we arrived. There was a lovely welcome basket with treats and tropical fruit. The house seems to have been recently renovated. The sheets and towels were all like new. The kitchen was well appointed. Had everything I needed to cook for our group. Dinners on the lanai were so delightful! There are multiple decks to sit and enjoy the view from. The back yard is well maintained with lush, tropical landscaping. We watched the stars from the jacuzzi every night. Queens bath was right around the corner, maybe a 5 minute walk. The neighborhood is very clean and safe and close to all the amenities that the north shore of Kauai has to offer. We plan to make our trip to Kauai and Hale Anu Keanu an annual event.

So comfortable and relaxing. What a beautiful home
What a omfortable and beautiful home and such a beautiful place. The house was roomy with all the conveniences needed. The very short walk to the beach was extremely beautiful and relaxing. It was great sitting out on the deck’s enjoying the breeze and looking out over the lush green landscape. I thoroughly enjoyed my vacation and look forward to going back. I highly recommend this beautiful home.
