The property was amazing with 8 bedrooms (4 upstairs and 4 downstairs), a huge kitchen, a family room, sitting room and media room there was plenty of room for everyone. It was beautifully kept and was stocked with towels, toys, and sports equipment. The house manager was readily available to answer any questions. The walk down to Secret Beach has 360 steep stairs so it was a workout getting back up but the beach is breaking and very quiet although you may see a little bit of nude bathing. The house offers the most amazing views of the ocean, sand and lighthouse. I would highly recommend!

Extra bonus, Tunnels beach is a moments drive away from the cottage. Highly recommend.

My husband and I loved our experience here!…read more We are frequent visitors to this part of the island due to relatives who live just down the road. Due to a family reunion, we needed an extra place to stay when visiting most recently during July 2013. We loved the authentic worker-style cottage and property, very similar to our relatives' home just up the road, where we usually stay. What we liked: - Location: Remote and on the lush North (north!) Shore, directly across from the beach - Auntie, the owner, was patient and friendly through the reservation process and during the visit. She was very understanding when my lasy payment check didn't go through the first time, oops! - The simple interior and exterior of this cottage, which really lets you feel the "island lifestyle," - The kitchen had everything you need to cook real meals - Brand new washer and dryer. I am totally in love with this area of Kauai, it never gets old even after 20+ visits. If you are low maintenance, and like simple, affordable, authentic lodging and service, this is the place for you. Auntie even accommodated our young daughter stay for a very minimal additional charge, by providing extra bedding, and towels. I would definitely stay here again, and again, and again.

We stayed at one of their units at the sea lodge in Kauai last summer and absolutely loved it. They…read morehad some really nice personal touches like a little box of candy and a liter of springwater even though the water in the taps was wonderful. Their units are newly done. The bed was extremely comfortable. I believe we were in unit A1. The sea lodge is a fantastic location in Princeville and after a whole bunch of research we found it was the best price with location of which you can see the ocean from almost all areas. They've got a cute little pool they keep the place spotless and we walk down to the beach which by the way I had just had both of my knees replaced and I'm a pretty big guy, but I was able to do it and down there. It's pretty amazing but you definitely wanna use walking shoes do not go down and flip-flops. Maybe bring a stick with you. We love the location close to Hanalei, which by the way if you want to go to for some great fish and chips pass, Hanalei is a place called Opakapaka Grill. Fantastic fish, and chips and fries! And decently priced beers. Anyway, the woman I dealt with at hysteria I believe her name was Gloria was just wonderful and was very proud of all the units that they manage.

The bathrooms smelled moldy. So damp. 2. Master shower would not heat up at all. Sink would get hot. Guest bathroom would get hot. Not the master shower no matter how it was adjusted or how long it ran. 3. Wasn't dirty but also wasn't the most clean. 4. Super dated. And not in a darling, historic way. The ceiling fan blades were yellow and droopy. No pull chains to adjust. Carpet in the master. Showers felt really dated. It felt safe and we appreciated the ability to do laundry, dishes, etc. Didn't use the pool but it was cute. Probably wouldn't stay here again.

Paradise at the Plantation was exactly the right choice for our trip. Alanna (the owner) was helpful, communicative, and extremely detail-oriented. My parents say the bed in the master bedroom is one of the most comfortable they've ever slept in. Loved having morning coffee on the lanai overlooking the pool, and jogging around the resort grounds, including some jogs to Wylie and Sea Lodge beaches (it's a steep climb but worth it!). Paradise at the Plantation was ideally located for exploring the North Shore, Hanalei, and beyond. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if I'm ever lucky enough to get to go back to Kauai!

It was gorgeous, clean and well-stocked with beach supplies. The communication with Princeville Vacation Rentals was top-notch! I planned this trip for almost a year and I was always impressed by PVR. Whenever I had a question, they were quick to respond. All communication was done via email before our stay and went smoothly. Not long before our trip, I requested to add one more days stay and it was no problem at all. The check in process upon arrival was easy thanks to the directions provided. When we left the home after vacation, my Husband learned that he had left his wedding ring at the home. He was on the flight home when he realized it. PVR went above and beyond to locate his ring and return it to us! I can't tell you how grateful we are to the staff and housekeeping of PVR. The next time that we visit Kauai, we will most certainly rent a home from PVR again. Kari & Jeff H

We were thrilled to…read morefind Hanalei Surfboard House for many reasons. 1: The location across the street from the beach, plus a short stroll into town, is the absolute best. We truly didn't need a car this trip, as we spent all of our time in our little heaven of Hanalei. 2: The property was ideal for a relaxing and comfortable stay. We prefer Airbnb situations when we can find them, and this fit the bill perfectly. The entire property was expertly maintained, from the gorgeous exotic grounds, to the care of the interiors, and the structures were without a doubt built with high quality and integrity. 3. Although there is a few suites on site, there is excellent privacy both inside and outside. No noise issues at all. We loved the covered lanais, both front and back. 4. This really could move up to 1, but the bed and the shower were both top notch! Bed and pillows so comfortable, and that's always our biggest issue. The shower had amazing water pressure and got as hot as you wanted it. 5. Simon - he's a gem! We got to meet and chat with him and it's clear, he loves this place and the people who visit.

We did arrive there when there was a tsunami on the way but it was all good & we didn't get hit by the tropical storm fortunately. Simon also offered his upstairs home in case we had to move to higher ground . Simon was Mr. Hospitality !

A very bad experience with this company: We lived on the island for six years and have been coming…read morefor 37 -- and have rented from many different vacation rental rentals, so we do know what to expect. Very long story short: The minute we got there, we noticed a high-pitched whining noise that we at first thought was a water leak or break in the walls. This was at The Cliffs condo complex in Princeville, where we have stayed in years past. We initially called the property front office - who said that because we rented it from Aloha Rentals-- we had to contact them-- Which we did. Both the girl at the office as well as as a " repair man" that they sent over, insisted that the noise was coming from a rooftop exhaust fan on the building and that it was a normal noise and would go on and off (It never did). My husband is an engineer, and his perspective was that the fan needed repair- possibly a new bearing. Aloha told us that if we wanted to move, we could and they would give us a full refund -- They never offered to help us find another place. We know Kauai well, and it is absolutely impossible to find a vacation rental on short term notice-- and they knew this. So simply telling us to go leave and find something, without offering to help, was unbelievable. We literally had no choice but to stay there, so we did. But the incessant whining made it so that we did not want to be in the unit - when we were there, spent all of our time on the porch, where we could not hear it. When we returned home, I Called and spoke to the Cliffs front office, who were horrified to hear our story, And they said that no, the noise should NOT have been there at all and had they known about it, and the property was under their management - They would've fixed it immediately. They were also horrified to know that Aloha did not offer to help us find another location, and just told us to leave if we didn't like it. Aloha refused to give us any kind of refund at all - even after I said that the front office completely agreed with my husband (the engineer) that something would was wrong with it. NEVER rent from this company
