Kealoha, meaning "the loved one", is a beautiful Kaua'i home situated on the 10th fairway of the famous Makai Golf Course. With lake views and a pristine location, this remodeled Princeville home provides privacy and serenity. Tucked towards the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this adorable home has all the amenities you'd need for an amazing vacation.

Kealoha is newly remodeled and newly furnished with luxuries including air conditioning in the spacious main living room area, high vaulted ceilings and wood accents, huge covered lanai for bbqing, outdoor living with lots of outdoor furniture, new bedding and beds, a spacious fully equipped kitchen, new hot tub and private pool, and an open floor plan; rendering the perfect setup to entertain family and guests alike.

With a comfortable living area, there's plenty of space to unwind after a long day of adventures. The living room has ample seating, a large flat screen tv, lots of game boards, books and much more. Open-themed, the living space flows beautifully into the dining area with a table that seats 6, kitchen island with bar-stools and a small desk space just in case you need to check an email or two.

Off of the main living space is the wide, covered lanai that naturally draws you to outdoor living, immersing you in tropical golf course and lake views full of pine trees and tropical landscape. Old-growth Norfolk Pines in the backyard offer the perfect amount of privacy and seclusion for your afternoon nap out back. The deck also features a large dining table, a small sofa with chairs and a gas BBQ grill.

The thoughtfully laid out split floor-plan gives two of the primary bedrooms (King, King) access to the eastern and western ends of the lanai. The third guest bedroom boasts 2 twin beds.

The master bedroom has an ensuite full bathroom with dual sinks, and boasts luxurious bedding and linens. The second room is equipped with a King bed and shares a full bathroom with the third guest room with twin beds.

The fully equipped and spacious kitchen has all the cooking gadgets and amenities for a wonderful meal with family and friends. High end appliances, lots of cookware, coffee maker, small appliances, tableware, and so much more.

The garage houses your beach gear with a handful of beach toys, beach umbrella boogie boards, beach chairs and cooler.

You can find a private, secluded outdoor shower with hot and cold temperature, great for the end of day adventures. Rinse the day away as you prepare to bask in the Hawaiian sunset with your favorite beverage. Finish off the evening while enjoying mountain views from the new private pool and hot tub.

Great location, this home is located in the centrally-located resort community of Princeville, Kealoha is only a 15-minute walk to many conveniences including the Princeville Park, the Princeville Shopping Center, Foodland grocery store and many shops, restaurants and a weekly farmers market. With many beach paths located throughout the Princeville community, you can easily access Hanalei Bay with just a short drive down the hill into Hanalei. Many famous north shore beaches are all within a short distance.

The pictures are very accurate for this property. The house backs up to the golf course and the house is on a cul de sac which means very little traffic. It was very quiet while we were there and it was wonderful. The check in process was good and everything was as described. We had a wonderful time. The house had everything that we needed. The 6 beach chairs and the cooler were very helpful. There were lots of dishes and glasses. The beds were good and the showers were very nice. Overall we really enjoyed our time here. The house was very clean when we arrived. The back Lanai was large with chairs plus an outdoor table and chairs so we ate several meals outside. Overall this I would give this house an A+.

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 travelled with another couple, both celebrating anniversaries. The layout was perfect for 2 couples, with privacy and our own bathrooms on opposite sides of the home. The central open layout was also appreciated. Very clean. Well equipped. Quick and professional communication. All of the beach necessities were there - chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, boogie boards. Plenty of amenities in Princeville, close to Hanalei (our favorite). Don't miss the Night Market in Princeville or a meal at the Dolphin in Hanalei. Great value by booking directly through Makana Properties website! I not only recommend this property, but hope to stay here again myself in the future.

We loved this house. It is located in a very quiet, private area of Princeville but in walking distance of all the beaches and Queen's Bath. The house is actually better than the pictures show it which was such a pleasant surprise. The rental company was very communicative and friendly. It's an easy 5 star rating!!

I was traveling with my 88-year-old aunt, two of her daughters, and my husband. The house was well laid out and everyone had space and privacy. We would definitely stay at this home again. We had a few issues while we were there, and the owners were very responsive. Great value.

We had an incredible time at this property. Location is great and the layout really allows you to enjoy the family (and view) in 1 centrally located place. I would highly recommend and will most likely book this home again on our next trip to the island.

This home has a spacious and open layout which was perfect for our family and small children. Very simple and clean decor and furniture which we also appreciated since we were traveling with small children. The beach chairs and sand toys were also nice to have. We did have to rent some additional baby equipment like a high chair and an extra pack n play (They provided 1 pack n play). It is conveniently located very close to a park and shopping center. And non-house related, but another note is there is lot of mosquitos in the area in general so I recommend bringing bug spray if you want to sit outside and enjoy the deck. I would definitely stay there again!

My family and I absolutely loved our stay at this fantastic Princeville house. The house sits on the golf course and has a huge lanai that opens up the entire backyard area. Morning coffee and evening wine was perfect on the lanai! 5 minutes from Hanalei Bay and 35 minutes from Kapaa. Great location and restraunt’s and the market within walking distance. We will stay here again!

The property was absolutely beautiful! Especially all the open windows through the backyard to the golf course. This property provided me and my family plus my cousins family a wonderful and cozy stay. We had so much room for everyone to be comfortable and love the open kitchen and living room.

We really enjoyed the property and will definitely try to come back. The location is in a very convenient area to get to different parts around Princeville or to quickly get on the road to Hanalei. The neighborhood is not busy and quiet. The porch is awesome to sit on at any time of the day. Having the grill and the fully stocked kitchen made it easy to do dinners on the porch after a long day at the beach. The fans, open air design, and facing away from the afternoon sun kept the house cool even without AC. The property manager was very quick and attentive to our requests. Thanks for adding to the fantastic time in Kauai.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Very comfortable for 4 people. Great kitchen. Beds were comfortable and the bathrooms spacious. Loved the porch and the bird watching. Patio furniture could use new cushions though.

We had a wonderful stay at this gem of a property on the Makai golf course. It was relaxing to hang out on the lanai and watch golfers, birds and pretty golfcourse ponds. Probably our favorite rental to date. The property was well maintained and had just about everything we needed. It was kind of a hike but we did manage to walk to Ainini Beach from the house. One could even walk to the Foodland shopping center if needed (15 min walk). We loved the outdoor shower to rinse off before coming inside. Also each room had a ceiling fan to keep cool. The kitchen was well appointed and had just about everything you could need for a short stay. We rented boogie boards and SUPs in Hanalei and Poipu and loved the proximity to the outdoor things we loved doing. We would definately recommend this place.

We had three couples stay in the house for a week and it was amazing. We used the grill every night and watched the sunset from the backyard/golf course. Best vacation we have ever had.

First and foremost, the house was amazing!! 8 of us fit comfortably ( 3 adults, 2 young adults and 3 kids (11-16). PROS: -The house is right on the golf course -Has a wrap around lanai so you can sit and enjoy morning coffee or a meal or just watch you kiddos run around in back playing football or chasing chickens. -The house is spacious with an open concept and plenty of room. -Lots of beach items in the garage for use (coolers, snorkeling gear, chairs, boogie boards, sand toys - 2 washers and 2 dryers (both washers worked. Inside dryer got no power and outside dryer only dried small loads) - 5 beds (2 kings, 2 twins and a pull out sofa) plus an additional couch. - stocked kitchen items and spices for cooking. CONs: -No AC (but I think that is normal for Kauai). There are ceiling fans and floor fans but it got up to the high 80s and my hubby and kids were hating life. -trash can is too small. We stayed for an entire week and cooked a lot. We filled the trash can and had like 5 additional bags/boxes that we sat on the side. -no recycling. We had a lot of cans, bottles and boxes that we were just putting in trash bags. However to recycle you need to take it to the recycling place yourself. I read that late and we ran out of time so we left everything there. -fees for excess trash or sand (not sure if this applies to us or if we got charged) -all the beaches, shops and fast food we went to were on the south side (except Hanalai) which took 45-120 minutes to get to in a rental car. -both dryers were broken but we didn’t realize until we went to wash our towels 4 days in. -not enough towels (there were 6) for a party of 8. We ended up going to Walmart and buying everyone a beach towel. Last but not least, the chairs in the dining room are wobbly and should not be sat on if you are more than 200lbs. Unfortunately we broke one because the weight was too much and my nephew fell straight through (225ish). Also, many review mention a ping pong table in the garage. Just an FYI, it is no longer there. All in all, we loved this place and it felt like a home away from home!!
