One of the more sought after aspects of a vacation rental (or home for that matter) on Kauai is to be one of a kind; to have a view that can only be cherished by those privy to the specific angles and perspectives a particular property provides. Kumulani, perched on a ridge between Kalihiwai Bay and Anini Beach, is a perfect example.
This 3,000 square foot home is a comfort zone in and out. Upstairs highlights include high ceilings, a spacious kitchen with wrapping granite countertops, an elegant dining area and a roomy living area. The master suite has a king bed, a spacious lanai and a charming Hawaiian chic decor. Downstairs, one bedroom features a king bed, the other has one double bed, and both have private baths and direct access to the pool and open lanai perfectly suited for a day (or days) of leisure.
Located between the towns of Kilauea and Princeville, all the eating, shopping and fun-in-the-sun glory the North Shore has to offer is a short drive away, but when all of that is through, privacy and quiet are the last features of the day.

This is a wonderful home and would highly recommend. It has everything you would need including all kitchen amenities, washer/dryer, beach chairs, etc. Home is under advertised as the views of the 2 beaches from the different lenais and decks are amazing. Pool is great after a day of beaches and hiking. Our family of 5 (kids 15, 12, and 9) had a great time. Thank you for a great stay!

This house!First the location: it sits on a hill overlooking a quiet ocean beach in one direction and a breathtaking river valley in the other. It is set among beautifully maintained gardens that create just the loveliest, most peaceful environment imaginable.As to the house itself:The light-filled master suite is on the top level by itself with its own deck and views of the ocean in two directions. Extremely welcoming, it receives near-constant breezes.The main living area is one floor below, with two comfortable and well-furnished seating areas. There is an excellent kitchen and a laundry room that I wish I could transport back to my own house. A huge wraparound porch on this level takes advantage of the great views.Yet one more floor below are two more spacious, comfortable bedrooms, with baths. A door on this floor leads out to the pool – simple and elegant.This house is so thoughtfully designed and impeccably constructed that every day we found new things to admire.Every amenity, from the towels and linens to the beach chairs/umbrella, from the furnishings to the cedar blocks in the bedroom drawers(!) was top-notch.The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped. And a real, unexpected bonus was the art: Throughout the house are paintings representing Hawaiian artists – it’s a bit like living in a delightful gallery.We probably ended up doing fewer island activities than we might have otherwise because we simply enjoyed being in the house so much. And in a place like Kauai, that says a lot.

A total gem in the most beautiful setting. Kumulani exceeded our expectations. The landscaping, paths and trails around the house are some of the most beautiful we have seen. Proximity to Hanalei is great. The pool is amazing and the setting spectacular. House is comfortable, spacious and well equipped. We will be back and hoping that this incredible property is available again.

Beautiful home! It has everything you need. The grounds are gorgeous. I don' t recommend with small children because the 2 other bedrooms are in the 3rd floor, far from master bedroom.

Access to all the North Shore highlights but away from the crowds of Princeville and Hanalei. Beautifully landscaped and very private with great views over Anini and Kalihiwai beaches.

This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed in my life. The home sits atop a hill with views of the ocean, the rainforest and the mountains. The gardens are extensive and lovely, with stone benches along the paths to enjoy vistas

Beautiful house and gardens. Nice pool, great kitchen, amazing views all around. The balcony was great for drinking coffee and having wine. Wonderful location, near everything you needed. The beach nearby and the river for paddle boarding were perfect. Only downside was the downstairs bedroom not having AC. The young adults got pretty hot even with the windows open. Master bedroom was wonderful and cool, and loved the huge shower.

This is my perfect definition of a vacation property on the North side of Kauai. Close to Kilauea, Princeville, and Hanalei... surrounded by tropical beauty and stunning beaches, its everything I want Hawaii to be. The property is perched atop a hillside with gorgeous views in every direction. Its comfortable and warm, beautifully maintained and furnished. We had a restful and exhilarating trip and would do it again in a heartbeat.

We loved the house. The view is better than the pictures show. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with anything you should need. There's two flights of stairs that could be a issue for people that have trouble with steps. The gardens around the house are beautiful with a path to wonder through the flowers and fruit trees, benches in quite areas along the path. A little pricey but worth it.

The house was fantastic - beautiful views from top of a hill, ocean breeze cooling the air, close to beaches and everything else, nicely decorated and well equipped and with a private pool. We couldn't ask for more!
Our only comment is that the description should clarify that the caretaker(s) lives in the guest suite on the property. This did not bother us at all, but could be important for other guests looking for complete privacy. Thx!
