About this apartment rental
A heartfelt welcome to our Casa Aloha, our 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath oasis, our happy place. We set up our upscale spacious, tranquil, sun-lit 4-bedroom condo (3 full-size bedrooms + a converted den with doors, windows, a sleeper sofa, and a fold-away bed) with 3 expansive lanais and a 2-car garage to make family vacations easy, friends' retreats fun, and couples' getaways romantic.
Our AC'ed condo is surrounded by tropical plants and fruit trees (help yourself to the seasonal fruit) and is a short 2-minute walk to a lagoon-like shaded pool, a hot tub, and two grills.
Excellent for remote work!
Location:
The "Nihilani Resort" is adjacent to one of the world's most picturesque mountain- and ocean-view walks, a quick bike ride to a playground, beaches, grocery store, restaurants. The world-famous town of Hanalei is a 10-minute drive away.
Within Nihilani, our unit is ideally located far away from the noisy Ka Haku road and a 2 mins walk to the best pool in Princeville. The condo has the most light of any Nihilani unit (we were waiting for this specific unit to go on the market as light was critical to out decision to purchase this oasis).
$30 a day AC - not-so-hidden charges:
Unlike most Kauai homes, our oasis offers AC. Sadly, electricity cost on Kauai is 4 times that on the mainland. You are encouraged to make best of the trade winds, but have a wonderful option to use the AC. If you choose to use the AC, we will add a $30 a day charge. Each room has a ceiling fan to invite the trade winds. Please know that we are not charging $30 lightheartedly. Please note that the AC cannot be lowered below 76 degrees F (24.5 C).
Guest access - smart home
You will receive your front door code a few days prior to arrival. Your code will only work for the days you booked Casa Aloha for.
Security Camera
Please note that there is a security camera in the garage area that is there for your safety.

Perfect place for us! Loved the pool and hot tub and all of the extras in the garage we could use. Close to Queens bath and so many other great places. We cannot say enough good things about the house.

Overall an outstanding experience. Communication with our host Natalie was great and she made the check-in and check-out process a breeze. The property's Princeville location was perfect for accessing all parts of the island. The unit was clean and comfortably housed 7 adults. The garage was large enough for our gigantic rental vehicle (Chevy Suburban). The 3 bedrooms were perfect for the 3 couples in our group, although the Zen Den was a little tight for our single traveler. The open concept on the main floor was perfect for meals, cocktails, playing cards and hanging out with the family and the multiple lanais were nice for coffees and nightcaps. The close proximity to the grills was nice for food prep and the in-unit dishwasher, washing machine/dryer made clean up easy. The property also had everything you need for a day at the beach (towels, chairs, coolers, masks, snorkels, fins, boogie boards, foldable pull carts etc.)
Highly recommended property.

Our family of six stayed here comfortably for 10 days. This condo is in a beautiful and quiet location in Princeville. The pool area is beautiful, and parking is convenient. The owner is very responsive to any needs and makes the stay easy. The bedrooms are comfortable and spacious. The kitchen has what is needed to cook simple meals. We even used the rice cooker. the garage is full of beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, snorkel gear, boogie boards and bikes. Every day we were off on adventures all over the island and were very glad to come back to a place that felt like home. We all enjoyed our stay and would love to come back again :)

Our family had a wonderful time. The place was very relaxing and peaceful. We will love to come and stay at this place again. It sure was a home away from home. Couldn't ask for anything more. 🥰

This was an amazing trip to celebrate my husband's big 50. The home is spacious with a lot of amenities. Host is very responsive and will answer all you questions. You have a rooster alarm clock that is very punctual.

Property was beautiful! Pictures are accurate. Home was very clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Pool area was really nice as well. Natalie was fantastic in getting back to us immediately with questions we had. Highly recommend!!!

This is a beautiful home in a beautiful neighborhood. So many fun toys and extras that made it extra fun. The beds were super comfy. We would definitely stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Natalie always was quick to answer any questions we had. It was more than enough things for us in the kitchen to use at the beach. Will definitely want to see her again.

Natalie's place is really perfect for any family wanting to stay on the North end of the island. Clean, spacious, with all the cooking and beach supplies you could need. The location is great, and we were in the condo's hot tub every day. Natalie was so responsive when we had changes in our travel plans due to weather - extremely friendly and accomodating! Would recommend her place to anyone.

A wonderful stay in every way!
We had arranged activities all over the island for the week we stayed at Casa Aloha, and we all agreed that it was totally worth a bit of extra driving some of those days in order to retreat to such a quiet, lovely home at the end of each day, and to be so close to the most beautiful beaches and most delightful evening breezes on the island! (Everywhere else we went seemed noisy and clamorous and a bit generic-resort by comparison.)
The condo is absolutely lovely and scrupulously clean, there is great attention to detail, the three adult beds are comfortable (we didn't try the kid beds), and everything works! Even the pans and the can opener are of excellent quality! And communication with the host was great from the day we booked until after we left. We would book here again in a heartbeat.

We really can’t say enough about Casa Aloha and its host Natalie. The home has everything you need and more - beach gear, fully equipped kitchen, baby gear (we didn't need that, but I can see how families would be able to pack lighter for their vacations). The beds were so comfortable - hugely appreciated after the hikes. All appliances worked flawlessly (which is unique for Kauai). Natalie was a joy to communicate with. We felt at home and enjoyed relaxing by the pool. The house is quiet and well taken care of. We cannot wait to return!

Take me back, I miss it already. We had an amazing vacation and staying at this family retreat was exceptional. Natalie was very helpful and did everything to answer my questions prior to our departure through the time of checkout. The home was very spacious for my husband and 2 children (8 and 10). We used the pool, spa and beach supplies available in the garage. We enjoyed exploring most of the island, and would recommend staying in Princeville, this condo is in the prime location. We hope to visit again soon.

PROS: This condo is clean , and the kitchen well stocked and appointed. The beach and snorkle gear, bikes and scooters in the garage were especially appreciated. The master bed and bath were comfy, TV downstairs and wifi worked great. The pool was nice.
CONS: The 2nd bedroom TV did not work and the mattress was not comfortable , with a big dip in it and gave my sister and brother in law sore backs . The HOA is pretty uptight- they told our kids they were not allowed to ride bikes or scooters on the driveways.
My main concern with this property is the lack of clarity in the description . this condo is listed for 7 person occupancy , however, it is actually for 6 . I realized this when I found that I was paying an additional guest fee. I attempted to work this out with owner Natalie, thinking it may be an error, and at first she said it was a VRBO fee, which it was not ( I called ) but in the end, she stated "MY base is 6 , if guests choose to bring a 7th person they have to pay the additional fee". Of course, that is her choice to set occupancy however she wants, but it is NOT clearly listed ANYWHERE in the property description. I also had to pay for AC that we did not use. Electricity costs a lot in Hawaii and I get that. I inadvertently PRE-paid for AC use , and then did not use it all. A refund of half was given.
Hawaii is expensive to start with, and I expect to pay fairly for what I use/rent. I use VRBO every year, for many years, in Hawaii multiple times, and this is the first time I have come across this intentional lack of clarity and disengenous description. When I attempted to resolve the issues, it became clear it was no mistake. So-- read very carefully before you reserve.
Overall-Princeville (and the condo) is next to a giant golf course, which is not the splendor of Hawaii that I was looking for. Luckily, that splendor was very nearby, Queens Bath, Anini beach and Hanalei bay are very close. There is not a natural space or sight in Kauai that is anything less then spectacular. Kauai is a special place.
