Overall, the house was great! There were a few small oddities with outdated appliances we came into contact with: (kitchen sink, oven, water filter in fridge needs to be changed). It was difficult to clean pans without a modern day spray nozzle fixture and keep the sink clean (especially with the sink being white). The oven is what it is but it definitely helps to have the most updated appliances in a rental you make money from. The fridge filter was also whatever but we were questioning and googling if the sink water was fine etc- maybe you provided that but there was a ton of overwhelming info and I felt this could be near the top as well. Maybe keeping a filter near the fridge with instructions or change it sooner than suggested? I just feel again for the price and expectations it is hard to not point out

Thank you!

The house was perfect for what we were expecting. No ocean views, but the hike down to the baths were less then 30 min. Grocery store and restaurants about a mile away. Hanalei was about 5 min drive and is a amazing town. We went in July and the weather was amazing. Fell like you're in the middle of the jungle and forgot about the stress of life. AC's in the rooms made sleeping comfortable every night. The house does get warm in the afternoon, but it's the time of day when we were out exploring.

House provided everything that we needed.
House does not have AC. It was hot but we were out all day doing activities. Bedrooms have ac window units that we use at night, but some of them make a lot of noise.

We took some of our kids and grandkids for a late summer getaway before school started and we loved staying at this house. The loft space was great for the kids to do their games and things up there, plus they had their own bathroom. The master suite is in the back of the house away from the living room so we had plenty of privacy. My daughter and her husband had a spacious room and their own bathroom as well. We love staying in Princeville so we thought the location was great. Great place for families to stay!

It was so nice to have a home there! The accommodations were exceptional and my family had a great time. The property was fully stocked with all the essentials you’d need for a vacation. All we had to do was buy the food! Can’t wait to come back!Mahalo!

Our family had a wonderful time at the Iki Nui Hale home. The home is very spacious!! Having 3 full bathrooms is amazing...when we got home from the beach we all wanted to quickly shower and get ready for the evening FUN ahead!! Beds were extremely comfortable!! We loved the location...we took daily hikes to QUEENS BATH. In addition, we walked to THE PRINCEVILLE RESORT, (formerly known as The St. Regis), Hideaway beach and Pu’u Poa beach. The home was well stocked and we loved riding the bikes!! The home is also close to the Food Land Market. We will definitely plan on staying in this home again. Also, a friendly reminder to all, this home is in a family neighborhood and being conscientious about noise is important. Mahalo!

Termites: There is a reviewer from February of 2018 who complained of termites. The reply from the management was "isolated" and "taken care of". I found the statements of eradication to not be the case. There were exit holes where the colony expels its fecal material both in the kitchen ceiling cupboards and in the front living room window frames. The kitchen was recurrent and moderate. Ironically, the original exit hole had been filled with colored wood patch indicating a lack of workmanship in "repairs", since the plug has no effect on the colony other than to force the construction of a new exit hole along the molding. It also shows knowledge of the management of the issue. Every morning I would wipe up the feces to prevent contact with my food. The front window frame was what I would call, extreme. The feces piled up like an hourglass on the frame and spilled out onto the ground. I didn't do an ice-pick test around other likely areas (e.g. garage door frame) since I was more interested in the wonderful island setting where the house is located. However, termites cause more damage to structures than tenants and management should hire a professional inspection and tent with methyl bromide to protect the owner's investment in the long run.
HOA: Be warned, the resort rules are chafing. I am approaching retirement and my family who stayed in the house are all 30+ years. We weren't there for any loud partying or mischief. But it has been said that home owners associations can perpetuate the worst of democracy. The signage said no parking on roadways, but was interpreted to also prohibit parking on the grass to the side of the narrow on-site driveway to allow an additional car to pass. (Warning No. 1) Then some of the adults were talking and laughing at 10:30 (no music). Suddenly, Warning No. 2. The rule was that we had to contain all sound on our parcel, which is impossible and vague. Sound waves diminish by the inverse square law and it is like asking the ocean waves to stop flowing up the sand.
Airbnb: It feels like the hedge fund boys have bought up the Airbnb business and are interested in only one thing$. During my stay from 12-15-18 through 1-3-19, the State of Hawaii raised its Tax by a fraction of a % effective 1-1-19. But my tenancy was completely paid through the Airbnb portal in Oct. On 12-20, I get a bill for $4.73 from Airbnb that MUST BE PAID by 12-23, a Sunday or they will besmirch my tenant rating. Jeez Happy Xmas

We enjoyed our stay. We were out and about a lot, so really didn’t hang out much at the house, but it was a great house to stay in. The house does get warm in the afternoon to early evenings but other than that it was perfect.

This house is great. Love the decor, it really gives you the Hawaiian experience. Very comfortable beds and pillows. The kids loved sleeping in the loft. Loved opening the windows at night to the breezes and sound of the rain. Lots of extras in the garage like beach chairs, snorkel gear, boogie boards and bikes were an added bonus. Convenient location to walk/hike to Queens Bath and Hideaways. Easy drive to Hanalei for beach and food and the Na Pali Catamaran.

The home was very comfortable, had 3 bathrooms, and comfortable sleeping accommodations for 8. And each bed had a memory foam mattress - very cushy! Amenities were complete - down to ice pack you could use in a cooler (that was also provided!). Elite Vacation Rentals staff (Yen!) was very accessible for any questions or activities we had. I'd highly recommend this property!
