Whether you are traveling with your family, extended family, other couples, best friends or your sweetheart, Orchid Hale is an excellent choice of accommodation.

You will always remember the special time you spend here . . . the spacious elegance, the extravagant feeling of indulging yourself in the comforts and pleasures of this extraordinary home. Pamper yourself . . . you'll be glad you did!

The setting is Princeville on the lush north shore of the "Garden Island." The neighborhood is a small collection of custom homes that share a well maintained swimming pool and tennis court. The views are verdant gardens speckled with the colors of tropical flowers and exotic plants against a backdrop of majestic mountains formed millions of years ago.

This is an air conditioned two-story home of 3200 square feet with a large great room, half-bathroom, kitchen and the master suite upstairs. There is an upstairs living room. The master suite has a TV. Downstairs there are two bedrooms, a large living/family room, a den/office and two bathrooms. So, there is plenty of room for everyone to gather together as well as space for anyone to spend quiet moments with a good book or other peaceful endeavor.

Your home away from home was totally renovated recently and has been designed and furnished with great attention to detail. The exquisite hardwood and marble floors as well as the granite counters in the kitchen and vanities in the bathrooms are both luxurious and practical.

Much thought has gone into the furnishings and over-the-top amenities throughout Orchid Hale; one excellent example is the generously equipped gourmet kitchen. In addition to the essentials like sauce and frying pans, baking dishes and other ovenware, cooking utensils and dishes, you will find an big assortment of small appliances such as a coffee grinder, panini grill, pressure cooker, and slow cooker, to name just a few. The chefs in your group will be delighted!

You may want to check out the Sunshine Markets (farmers' markets) that happen in a different town each week day. That's a great place to find fresh produce to include in your meal plans. And, if you would like to dine out during your stay, there is a nice variety of cafes and restaurants right in Princeville as well as in the neighboring town of Hanalei.

The furnished office downstairs has just what you need in case your visit is partly a working vacation: desk, scanner, large monitor, wireless printer and printer paper. The powerful wireless router is easy to access wherever you are in the house with whatever device you choose.

While you are working, the kids and others in your party can play badminton, croquet and volleyball in the spacious back yard. And indoors, there are board games, a Play Station 3 System with a few PS3 games, an assortment of DVDs you can play on the Blu-Ray/DVD and watch on the 73" TV in the downstairs family room or the 63" TV upstairs in the living room. You may even want to watch some of the movies that have been filmed on Kauai over the years.

Just diagonally across the street are the swimming pool and tennis court. Nearby is Makai Golf Club with its wide open spaces and nicely manicured fairways and greens. Even non-golfers can appreciate the ocean and mountain views along the course. Those who enjoy the game will want to challenge themselves on this recently renovated 18-hole course designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr. There are many beautiful north shore beaches within a short drive of Orchid Hale. We strongly recommend swimming at beaches with a life guard.

Other activities nearby include kayaking, horseback riding, fishing, surfing, windsurfing, helicopter flightseeing tours, hiking, seasonal swimming, snorkeling and tropical botanical garden tours.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We went in with reasonable expectations. But when we opened the front door, we were WOWed!!! It is unbelievable. What a beautiful home. So much attention to detail, from the artwork, the furniture, everything. The layout was incredible. Our first 4 days of our trip was nothing but non stop rain, and this was the perfect home for being “stuck”. The gourmet kitchen made you want to cook! Our kids loved the backyard, as did I. This felt like a $3-$5m home. And it probably is! Sub-Zero refrig and other high end appliances. And the best part, your own garage! Most owners don’t give you access to the garage. These owners do! Mahalo! Made it easy to get into the home with it it getting rained on. And your garage is impeccable. We also enjoyed doing some washes of the kids clothes the high- end washer and dryer in the garage. The beds... one word. Heavenly. Best sleep of my life. My wife’s and kids didn’t want to get out of bed!!! And the floor to ceiling windows with the majestic view of the Hanalei mountains with waterfalls, and the most serene backyard with this amazing canopy tree. Can’t say enough. We will return. No question.

We love the Princeville area. Orchid Hale is a huge house, well designed, with an amazing yard. Walking distance to pool, golf, tennis. So many great beaches nearby. Most require a short hike but you are rewarded at the end. Secret beach is amazing. Perfect for a family of 6-8, or 9 if you have 3 small ones. My wife and I stayed in the master upstairs, so much room and privacy. Our kids and grandkids stayed in the two bedrooms downstairs and the oldest slept on a roll away in the office. There is also a pull out in the downstairs FR. They were a little crowded but didn’t complain. Huge kitchen and great room upstairs. Air conditioning was essential and worked well. I would stay here again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I cannot say enough good things about this house. It is very large with plenty of room to spread out, clean, beautiful, and has everything you need for your stay (except shampoo and body soap). The yard is gorgeous with so many flowers and fruit trees. The neighborhood is centrally located and so very nice. So many places to walk or jog. You are just a few minutes from a grocery store, gas, and shops/restaurants. Tons of beach supplies including chairs, umbrellas, mats, etc. The kitchen is so well stocked - we were able to host 13 people for a post wedding dinner easily. The master bedroom is upstairs separate from the two bedrooms downstairs. Each level has its own living area and there is an office downstairs. The A/C works perfectly- no hot spots. We would book this house again for sure. It just made our visit to paradise even better!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Kauai is our favorite place in the world. We love this island and her people. We first came in 1998 and we try to come back every year. We enjoyed days on Anini beach or. Hanalei bay. In the evenings we had wonderful meals at the Dolphin, Tiki Aniki , and Happy Talk, 3 of our favorite spots.Orchid Hale is a well appointed home located in Princeville. The only thing previous visitors did not show the gas grill much love,it was pretty sad. The dryer was on the fritz, the homeowners were working on getting a new one.These things did not detract from the rest of the home or the beautiful well maintained property it sits on. This is a great rental for families. We had our almost 2 year old granddaughter with us, she loved playing in the yard and the park just up the road. There also is a community pool and tennis courts for you to enjoy.The house also had beach chairs, towels, sand toy, yard games and more!This home and island has so much to offer we would highly recommend it.

This home is close enough to walk to Queens bath, Hideaway beach and the country club. Plenty of room and lots of games to play. Foodland is a short drive away and has everything you need for your stay. My only suggestion would be to maybe add a ping pong table in the garage for the rainy days.

Would have enjoyed a bigger patio, but it worked okay. The kitchen was great for cooking and plenty of seating for family dinners. House was spacious for family to spread out and air-conditioning cut the hot humid days. Great for evening walks to enjoy the sunset!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a gorgeous house, like you were in the middle of a rain forest with all the windows and birds and plants outside. Easy walk to the pool and tennis courts which were literally across the street. We spent the day hiking all the nearby trails and beaches then shaved ice and home for the evening . Very relax full vacation with family . Will visit again.

My extended family (5 adults including all age rages plus 1 four-year old) rented Orchid Hale for a week. We were a little nervous going into it, convinced that there was going to be a mismatch of some kind between our expectations and reality, but if anything, the listing and photos *undersold* the property's charm and utility, especially at this pricing. For one thing, it's a big house. Perfect for a multi-generational family trip. The folks who get the master suite are golden. The folks in the two smaller downstairs bedrooms will be fine, though nothing to get excited about. But the rest of the house is perfect for sharing: big open spaces, a good kitchen for cooking and eating together as a family. The outside was great too: the garden is interesting and exotic, there's a good patch of grass for badminton/croquet/etc., and there's a nice big grill too. The shared community pool was adequate. It's a good size, but likely needs work if they're being honest about it (multiple tripping hazards, broken gaskets, loose railings) though nothing that kept us away from it. Plus we essentially had it to ourselves. The tennis court was super nice, having been recently refurnished. They have rackets and some (admittedly old) balls in the house you can use. All in all, I fully recommend and would go back!

Wow! As a celebration for my oldest son’s college graduation and a belated celebration for my youngest son’s high school graduation, we spent a week in Kauai! We stayed at Orchid Hale and the place impressed us all, there was definitely the WOW factor when we arrived! The house was spacious and nicely decorated and the gardens and grounds were so tropical and beautiful. The house had everything we needed and more. We had a fantastic week on the beautiful island of Kauai and staying at Orchid Hale added so much to the vacation! We all would highly recommend this house. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

This house is amazing! It is spacious and has all the amenities we could hope for on our trip. We loved the large gourmet kitchen that was really well equipped and organized and enjoyed the views of the beautiful garden during our meals. The kids had so much fun in the outdoor space playing - there was even a croquet game! We also enjoyed playing tennis and using the pool steps away from the house in the morning or afternoon. The location was very convenient to all the areas we wanted to visit in Princeville / Hanalei. Perfect for morning walks either down to the beach near or up to the local town center / park. The beaches, such as Anini and Tunnels, or local restaurants were a short car ride away. We could not be happier with our stay and would recommend this property to anyone. It is definitely on our return list in our future.
