Pau Hana Hale - Private Mini-Resort with Pool
Pau Hana Hale, Princeville
Pau Hana Hale is a tranquil and secluded residence nestled at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac on a spacious lot, surrounded by verdant valleys in your own private mini-resort. Offering sweeping views, you can relax under the shade of the majestic Banyan tree, watching the ocean and listening to the soothing sounds of the surf and seabirds above.
This distinctive home can accommodate a large family while maintaining an atmosphere of warmth, privacy, and tranquility. Ideal for family gatherings, corporate retreats, and island living, this remarkable home features a pool, central air conditioning, and top-quality finishes, bedding, linens, and appliances, providing the perfect home base for your vacation.
With three levels and five bedrooms (two King, one Cal King, one Queen, one sleeper sofa), each with its own bathroom, this luxurious home offers ample space to unwind and savor the beauty of Kauai's North Shore.
The primary suite takes the top level of the home with a private lanai overlooking the pool. The suite boasts a dreamy King size bed with luxurious bedding and a spa-like bathroom with dual-sinks, bidet, and a spacious shower.
The middle level serves as the living and entertaining space of the home, offering generous room and upscale furnishings for your enjoyment.

The professional kitchen is a chef's dream, fully equipped with high-end appliances and everything you need for preparing delicious meals at home with local ingredients.
The lower level is a haven with two bedrooms (Cal King/Queen), two full baths, and a spacious playroom equipped with a flat-screen TV, books, and games. This level opens up to a sizable, private lanai and peaceful backyard overlooking a vast greenbelt and the ocean beyond.
Enjoy the resort-style pool and courtyard, complete with Ipe decking, waterfall and bridge, plenty of chaise lounge chairs, and a BBQ grill, creating the perfect setting for a gathering place for family fun and special occasions.
Pau Hana is designed to prioritize privacy, with no shared walls between bedrooms, making it an excellent choice for groups looking to come together yet have their own individual spaces.

We absolutely loved the house! In a great location, beautiful backyard, comfortable beds, the list goes on! We also loved how the property managers gave a guide book with all the house info as well as tips on the area. Would stay again!
I didn't think this would be possible as the photos are beautiful, but this house exceeded even our very high expectations. Very thoughtful details and just a beautiful house for a big family get together. Great location, great amenities, + great communication from the property managers. I highly recommend!
This house was perfect for our family with 5 adults. The bedrooms are spread out so you're not right next to another room, and there are plenty of bathrooms. There's a beautiful backyard with comfortable outdoor furniture, lovely pool for cooling off, and plenty of beach and snorkeling gear in the garage when venturing out to local beaches. The kitchen is huge with plenty of dishes and high-end appliances. The office was perfect for my hubby's writing and checking in on work. This is a place we would definitely stay at again!
The house is amazing! HUGE kitchen, great dining and living rooms, fun pool, comfortable bedrooms and very quiet location. The management staff were very responsive to all our questions and requests. The only issues we ran into was the fans and the A/C stopped working on day 2 of our 9 night stay. The management company worked to resolve but were unable to before we left. We also arranged a mid-stay cleaning which the cleaners did a great job but did not restock common items like Kleenex, toilet paper, paper towels or napkins. I have always had those items restocked when doing mid-stay cleanings (which we paid extra for). Small things like that should be included in an extended stay at a luxurious house like the Pau Hana Hale. Please consider this for future guests. Overall, we had an amazing time in Kauai with a very comfortable, relaxing stay in this house. I will (and already have ) recommended the house to others traveling there in 2026.

Reviewer Comments:
This rental experience is was fantastic from start to finish. It was so easy to book the property through the website. There were always very timely responses to any and all inquiries. The online property handbook was so helpful before and during our stay. The recommendations in there were awesome! The house itself was absolutely magnificent with stunning views and beautifully appointed. The decor is beautiful and the house had everything we needed. We have stayed in other homes in Hawaii before and the temperature control was never as good as in this home. We were so comfortable the entire trip! The location of this home is perfect! We explored the east and north side so easily! Check out was as easy as check in. We look forward to returning again and will definitely book through this company!
We were visiting as a family of 8, 2 seniors, 4 adults, and2 children ages 7 and 10, gathering from 3 corners of the country to celebrate Thanksgiving together.
The house was perfect- beautiful, comfortable, pristinely clean and welcoming. A beautiful bouquet of tropical flowers was on the kitchen counter to welcome us.
We had a wonderful time- the kids spent most of the time in the pool. There were many little nooks and crannies where adults could go off and read or just relax, listening to the sound of the surf, which could be heard from the balcony.
The adults managed to complete 2-1000 piece puzzles during our visit!
Great proximity to grocery shopping and restaurants, although we cooked all of our meals in the well equipped kitchen- much easier with the kids!
We did order a prepared Thanksgiving meal from Foodland
, the local grocery store and everything was delicious.
All in all, a wonderful family vacation. The photos online do not do justice to the beauty of this home.
Everything went so smoothly, frombooking, to check in, to check out.
All in all,a wonderful family vacation.
Thank you so much!
Could not have asked for a better house in Princeville. This house has everything you need.

Everything was great. The house is beautiful and super spacious. The kitchen and backyard were beyond any expectation I could have had.
Overall clean, however, vacuum cleaner was very dirty and also washing machine what's dirty. For a large house, they should have two sets of washer and dryers. Pool was not clean before arrival. Overall enjoyed the stay.
House and grounds were amazing. Plenty of room and great views. Pros: tons of room to spread out. Pool is fantastic and the beach gear was well kept. It took us a couple of days to figure out how to get in the garage and find the gear, but once we did, we were good to go. Overall, we loved the place and would stay again! Cons: We had issues with the shades in the basement and the master bedroom upstairs was missing the screen door so we couldn’t leave the door to the rooftop lanai open. It took us a while to find the switch to the fan for the master bedroom as well (hint: its at the bottom of the stairs). Also, the rock wall to the pool is a water feature. The top set of switches work the lights and pump. Use the middle for lights and right for pump.
