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.

The teens had a place upstairs all to themselves.. everything was clean and pretty well maintained... screen door in kitchen was off ..my nephews tried fixing but it wouldn't stay on .. and garage bin in kitchen keep sliding open .,,.. but overall it was perfect for us... would stay again

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.

We really enjoyed our stay Short drive to amazing beaches House was clean and well stocked We really appreciated the beach chairs and toys

Wonderful home in a convenient location. PM was responsive with requests.

This house was perfect for our family of 8. The kitchen was awesome and we loved the big island.

Great Place!

Property was conveniently located near Hanalei beach park and bay. Great house for a large family. Bikes and beach equipment came in handy. Enjoyed the property and owner was a great communicator.

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.

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!

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!

Thank you for the great property with everything needed

A great place for a vacation. Just returned and making note this is winter and can be rainy. The house was great. Spacious and comfortable. Loved the ping pong and large kitchen. We had sufficient room for the 6 of us. Liked the location and the island is amamzing! Thank you!

Stayed here an entire week with my whole family. The house has so much to do, from ping pong to barbecue to puzzles, and of course the community is beautiful too. Would stay here again!

Could have spent a month here if you like golf andf hiking.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Beautiful house tucked away in quiet cul-de-sac in beautiful Princeville. Kitchen is perfect for cooking and eating. Such a nice stay here. Would definitely chose here again - such a beautiful place on a beautiful island. Thank you, thank you

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

This place is amazing just look at the pictures. Not one thing is missing to make this the ultimate family getaway. The owner has thought of everything you could ever need to make your stay unbelievable including: all kitchen appliances and even toys for the kids. Catherine is so easy to work with, she quickly responses to all your questions and is very accommodating. The furnishing are spectacular. I would recommend this place for families or for a group retreat. You won't be disappointed, I promise.
