Hanalei Plantation Villa

We had a wonderful time. The house was perfect we loved the views and where it was located.

Unique, private, relaxing - we loved our stay here. The house is immaculate, very spacious, and comfortable. Very close to restaurants, Hanalei Bay, and a short drive to the amazing Tunnels beach. And Yen was an awesome host! Can’t thank her enough for the advice and recommendations for our stay in Princeville. You’ll love staying here!

The pictures are exactly what you get with this property. Absolutely stunning and a wonderful place to stay. Would stay again in a heartbeat!!!

We had a wonderful stay. The house is immaculate, very spacious and beautifully designed. The outside balconies, deck and pool were wonderful. The view to the mountains on one side and across a lush rainforest to sea on the other side is stunning. I was concerned before about having air con in just the bedrooms as we visited in August but that was not an issue at all. In fact it was nice to have fresh air inside and feel more part of the surrounding nature. The location is very convenient to Princeville yet is still available extremely quiet, private and and all you can see for miles is the stunning natural landscape.

Very spacious, peaceful, relaxing.

Our family of four spent a relaxing peaceful week at this home. We desired privacy and got it- the only building seen from inside the home was a small portion of a house through the tree tops. There was plenty of space for the four of us to have alone time and togetherness. The air conditioning in the bed rooms was perfect at night, with trade winds keeping the main parts of the home cooled off most of the day. House manager Yen was lovely and helped orient us to the home with texted and printed instructions. She was very responsive to questions during our stay. We would return!

The House was amazing and we‘ve enjoyed our stay a lot. The property and its location is even better in real life than on the photos: secluded and very zen! Thanks for having us!

It was perfect. The house was amazing. Perfect size house for 3 couples. We went with our adult children and their friends. Pool and grill area were ideal places to hang out after checking out Hanalei or waiting out some rain. Lots of privacy. Incredible views throughout home. High end furnishings. Fully stocked kitchen. Our property manager Yen was super helpful and on top of everything. She was even able to get us a reservation at a nice restaurant during Christmas week on short notice. Can’t say enough wonderful things about this house and vacation. Best house we have ever rented. We Hope to come back soon!

This home is perfection, peace, tranquility. We ended up hardly leaving the home because it is a vacation wrapped up into a perfect package. We will be dreaming of this home and Hanalei Bay for years to come!

This property was amazing-actually better than the photographs depicted and I thought the photographs were amazing. Rental process was easy, check in was very efficient and we greatly appreciated being able to check in a little earlier- Diana was great introducing us to the property. The home condition was exceptional. Each bedroom had its own unique features. The decking around the house in the back overlooked a gorgeous jungle canopy with the Napali peaks and ocean beyond. Only one house visible in the vista. Everything functioned well in the house. The pool and hot tub and outdoor grilling area with adjacent sauna was a favorite spot! Very quiet neighborhood except for the occasional roosters! Amazing and ever-changing views both inland and toward the coast depending on cloud cover. Very close to grocery store and restaurants. The Andy Irons surfing memorabilia was an awesome touch to the decor of the entranceway. Can’t say enough good things about this place. The only suggestion I could make would be to increase the number of drinking glasses and stemware- there wasn’t enough for six people. The group consisted of me and my wife and our two adult sons and their girlfriends. Because of the pandemic and the fact that our sons live far away from us, we had not gotten together in quite a while. The week was magical-stunning hiking,beach, kayaking and local experiences every day followed by returning to this exceptional house. A memory that we will never forget -every day was a grand experience.

If my family ever returns to Kauai, I'm sure they will want to come back to this property. The pool/spa were pristine and extremely well-maintained. Even though it is a chlorine pool, I never smelled the chemicals - perfect balance. The cleaning team went above and beyond. On our last day we finished an extremely difficult jigsaw puzzle - only to find that the last piece was missing! The cleaning team found the missing piece and sent it to us. In the process of searching for the piece, we realized how clean the property was.

My wife and I took 10 family members on "the trip of a lifetime" to Kauai, and because of our number, we had to stay in two different homes for the first four nights of our stay. Both houses that we booked were wonderful properties, but we gave our adult children and oldest grandson the "better house." We got to walk through it when we checked them into the house, and although we expected to see a stunning property (based on the pictures of it on this site), we were still blown away by its magnificence! There were many "oohs" and "aahs" as we all walked around, being shown the property by the Property Manager, Yen Upson (more on her in a bit). Spacious, modern, comfortable, secure (gated entry) and amazingly beautiful (with stunning views to match!), this incredible house offers visitors to the Garden Island everything that one could ever hope for, in making a visit here a memorable one. It checks off ALL of the boxes! And although my wife and I didn't sleep here, our children and grandson assured us that they all slept in peaceful tranquility, on super comfy beds, with windows open, overlooking the scenic landscape......never hearing a sound from any neighboring property. Adding to its allure, you are greeted and made welcome by one of the sweetest ladies that I have ever met: Yen Upson. Kind, gracious, informative and extremely helpful, Yen is not your typical Property Manager. She is, indeed, on a par with the house, itself! She was not only attentive to all of our needs, but even went so far as to secure a reservation at the leading restaurant in Hanalei for all 10 of us! And was able to do so on very short notice! I didn't even have to ask! All that I had to do was make mention of my failure to obtain reservations, even though I had tried a month in advance, and she told me that she knew the owner and would arrange everything! Wow! It sure does help to know people who have connections! Lol! We had managed to secure a house that could handle all 10 of us after our first four nights on the island, and although it was a very nice house in its own right, it really paled in comparison to Laulea Kailani Villa. Our children and grandson couldn't stop talking about it for the remainder of our vacation, and had my wife and I hoping and praying that we might be able to visit Kauai one last time, just so that WE might be able to stay here, one day! 🙂 Do yourselves a favor and nab this stunning property, if it is available when you visit!

From the moment we asked in to the home in Princeville we were delighted! A wonderfulWelcome gift and to a home Ready for our week. It was clean and well supplied, including beach chairs, cooler and sand toys to wonderfully complete supplies for the kitchen or to enjoy grilling by the wonderful pool and spa! The only disappointment Was the challenges of the road to Hanalei being under construction and you needed to plan around that, not ideal but workable. This is a dream home and hope to come back one day.

This home is so well designed that it felt like we were staying at a 5 star resort. The property is gorgeous both inside and out. The views were gorgeous and the neighborhood private, quiet & peaceful. We absolutely enjoyed the steam room, hot tub, and pool and made sure to take advantage of it every day during our stay. The outdoor dining/grill area easily accommodated our family and the mini fridge made it easy to stay at the pool all day long. We'd love to stay again and would recommend it to anyone looking to relax and unwind.

Beautiful home in a great location. We visited in Aug and the heat and lack of trade winds made it difficult to enjoy the living spaces, which do not have air conditioning. definitely take that part of the property description seriously. The bedrooms were perfectly cool. Jun was very helpful with checkin, etc. excellent pool and grill area.

Amazing views, perfectly stocked kitchen and the best location on the island... This house is beautiful and was the perfect peaceful getaway. Yen was so helpful and easy to work with. I can't find a single thing that wasn't perfect to complain about!

We loved this house and the views! Yen, the property manager, was a pleasure to work with and responded promptly to all of our questions and needs. When we arrived we were told the dryer had just stopped working and needed to be replaced. Yen offered to pick up our laundry and have it cleaned for us, which we didn’t need but was a very nice gesture. Lots of space to spread out and a fully equipped kitchen. Pool and hot tub were a great bonus. We enjoyed being close to Hanalei and Princeville and the beauty of the north side. The only improvement we’d suggest is updating some of the furnishings and keeping the windows clean for enjoying those incredible views. The house is beautiful but showing its age just a bit. Overall this didn’t hinder our enjoyment of the place. Highly recommend!

From the views to the amenities this property had it all (including steam shower which was a group favorite). Its was centrally located yet gave you the feeling that you were staying in a secluded home in the jungle. We spent most of the time in the pool and cooking with the family! Yen the property manager was fantastic and promptly answered any questions we had about the home. We hope to visit again in the near future!!

We had a fantastic vacation experience thanks to Elite Pacific, and most especially to Yen who welcomed us so warmly and took such great care of us. The house in Princeville was fantastic! Very clean and well-stocked with great privacy... loved the outdoor shower and jacuzzi... surrounded by lush greenery... the perfect oasis for an island get away!
