5 Bedroom Open Plan with Ocean Views, Queens Bath, Bali Hai, and Golf Course

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2empvqbOT4

Whale Hale is a spacious 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath home proudly perched on the bluff above Queens Bath in Princeville, Kauai' where you can see and hear the ocean. From the grand entry staircase to the family friendly living rooms and game room this home was designed to suit large parties or intimate gatherings. This 3,800 square foot home has gorgeous views from every window. It's a short hike down to the Queens Bath where you can swim in a natural ocean pool (summer months). There are views of the golf course and ocean views on 3 sides of the house!

Three bedrooms have a private en-suite bathroom. This home is stylishly furnished and every effort has been made to accommodate your needs. We've even included beach towels, beach chairs and snorkel gear for use during your stay.

The upstairs area includes a full service kitchen with a gas cooktop plus another full electric range, two dishwashers and a large pantry. A center island provides plenty of work surface for multiple cooks in the kitchen. And there are granite countertops throughout. The enormous open plan airy room has a vaulted ceiling. Additionally there is a game room for loads of indoor fun.

One of the bedrooms is upstairs with an ensuite bathroom and views of the mountains, golf course, and ocean. This room has a Queen bed.

The other four bedrooms are on the ground level. They comprise 2 master suites and two bedrooms with 2 single beds each. These single rooms can be converted to Kings for a fee of $150 per bedroom. The single bedrooms have a separate guest bath to share. One of the master suites looks like a small studio with a private sitting area.

Outdoor amenities allow you to enjoy our amazing Kauai weather and views. In the back yard, facing the ocean, is a free standing spa pool with jets that can accommodate up to 10 people. There are sitting areas on all 3 decks with an outdoor living sofa set on the back lanai overlooking the ocean. The large front deck boasts views of the golf course and beach and includes a large dining table with oversized bistro umbrella. This is a perfect area to enjoy sunset cocktails and dinner. There is also a ping pong table in the garage which will allow for hours of fun - especially when we're having one of our tropical showers that keep the garden island green and lush.

You will be conveniently located in the community of Princeville. Within one and a half miles are two world class golf courses, several beaches, the Princeville Shopping Center and the St. Regis Princeville Resort with its amazing restaurants and beach. A short drive in either direction allows you to enjoy all that Hanalei Bay has to offer as well as surfing, diving, snorkeling, kayaking, hiking, horseback riding and helicopter tours.

We know you'll enjoy your stay at our modern Hawaiian Home and look forward to making your stay perfect!

Beautiful home on a beautiful island
There were 8 of us at Whale Hale and we all had such an amazing time. The kids loved the swim spa and the air hockey table. The breeze from the tradewinds felt so good. The beds were comfortable. I loved grilling with a view of Hanalei and the gorgeous purple sunset. Everything about the house was perfect. 10/10 would recommend and would absolutely stay again!

Great views! Well stocked kitchen and baths… plenty of space for all of us. Hot tub was working marginally- could only use it a couple nights. But loved the sunrises and sunsets on the patios, and meals on the front porch overlooking Bali Hai was spectacular.

Beautiful house & views
This house acrually surpassed our expectations …which never happens in rentals. The views were beyond amazing and the house itself in pristine conditions. I really enjoyed the lack of clutter throughout that you often see in VRBO properties. It was clean, neat & updated. Also the beach chairs, towels, coolers, etc were a nice add. Did I mention the 12 person hot tub????

Perfect family vacation
We had seen pictures of this house online, but when we walked in we were still amazed. It's absolutely stunning, and the views are breathtaking. We loved sitting on the lanais, drinking coffee, and relaxing. We also enjoyed the pool, air hockey and ping pong tables. There were 5 adults and 4 children in our group and these were things we could all do together. Thank you for sharing your spacious and beautiful home with us.

Family and Fun
The house was beautiful! The view was awesome, saw a lot of whales. The only disappointing factor was there was no pool table which was pictured in the posting. Tons of Beach amenities which was very helpful. Fully stocked kitchen, paper goods. The hot tub was great. We had a great time and Lia and Tanya were great communicators.

Fantastic Family Celebration
Our family of ten loved the house and amenities: the dining table fit all of us comfortably and everyone had her/his own room or suite. There was plenty of room for time together as well as options for time apart. The views were spectacular and both the property owner and manager were exceptionally accessible and helpful. Our family is grateful for being able to be all together for our 50th anniversary.

Kauai Adventure
Overall communications and property were stellar. Our combined family’s group of nine never felt crowded, ample space for all and the location allowed us to have morning outings, regroup and head back out for remainder of the day which included sunsets every evening Spectacular views from both sides of the house provided sunrise and sunset vistas! Spacious and well appointed, even had 2 washers and dryers- a great feature. Overall, highly recommend this property - only callout was the hot tub, couldn’t get jets or lights to turn on but never reached out to property manager as it was our very last evening but not a deal breaker— fantastic stay!

Welcoming and Wonderful Whale Hale
We just spent a week in this beautuful home perched at the edge of a spectacular location. Stunning views from both floors - ocean, tropical fauna, mountains, and valley. So peaceful sitting out on the numerous decks and enjoying the beauty and tranquility around us. The open living room and kitchen space invites all to lounge or pitch in with dining or fun activities. The billiard table, jetted tub, ping pong table and spacious bedrooms and bathrooms were appreciated by our party of 10. The laundry room with two sets of washers and dryers were a luxury. Wonderful walking and running paths await you outside the front door. Historic Hanalei town is just down the hill from Princeville. We enjoyed the Haraguchi Rice Mill and Taro Patches tour. Our young adults had a blast on their Kaua'i backcountry tubing adventure. Lia was easy to reach and quick to respond to our lodging request - mahalo! Tanya was helpful and very accommodating. We greatly appreciated it! Such an amazing family time shared for Christmas week - we will treasure our memories for a long time. 3 generations - just priceless!

Perfect vacation house
Why did we absolutely LOVE this house? Let me count the ways, not necessarily in order… 1. Location- Princeville is upscale, quiet, close to beaches and Hanalei. It is paradise and by far our favorite place on the island. Saturdaytheyhad a coolfarmers market upthe road at Makai Golf Course where we got tropical flowers and fruits. 2. Views- the back lanai looked over the ocean for miles and we saw waves crash into lava rock below. This was the number one place we hung out. (Isaw whales first time ever! And front lanai at Hanalei Bay and Bali mountains. The family was blown away by the sunset and surroundings. 3. Amenities- the Kitchen had every appliance and gadget one could need! We grilled on the gas grill in the garage too. With 2 dishwashers and washer dryer sets this was convenient for our big group. There was air hockey and ping pong but didnt use those because the weather was amazing. 4. Space- we had 7 and never felt crowded. Huge kitchen, dining with tons of windows and natural light. Plenty of space everywhere. 5. Toys- tons of snorkel gear, chairs, coolers, towels, floaties. 6. Clean and new- for the most part it felt like a new home. Modern and lovely furnishings. 7. The geckos- pretty green and blue ones sunbathe daily on the front deck. A+ we would stay here again no hesitation!

Fantastic location, great views
This house is located in a terrific location, providing fantastic views of the ocean, and lots of privacy (other than the LOUD roosters waking us at 5am). It is walking distance to the trailhead for the hike down to Queen's Bath, which is a huge bonus (cars wait in line for hours to park for the hike, which is great). The house is comfortable and has plenty of room, however be aware that the floors are very slippery (we had an elderly grandmother with us and tried to keep her on the top floor, but that bathroom has a tub so she had to shower downstairs). There is also no AC, so one is forced to keep all the doors and windows open to keep the house temperature at a bearable level. So if one is leaving for the day and locking up, the house takes a while to cool back down upon returning. In addition, the lack of humidity control means that some door locks are rusted and not working properly, and the kitchen cabinets are in need of cleaning/renovating. I did not feel secure leaving valuables at the house given the fact that we left screened windows open to keep it from getting too hot. The neighborhood seems very safe, and is beautiful, but it is not gated or monitored. Overall, we would stay here again, but just some things to be aware of when you are booking. My husband and son played golf on the adjacent course, and said it was the best course they've ever played at! Nice paths for runners as well. Also, there is only a small grocery store in the neighborhood, so best to stock up at Costco or Safeway in Lihue before making the drive up to Princeville. As an aside, we booked helicopter tours with Blue Hawaiian and they were fantastic! Well worth the price.

Whale Hale
I cannot recommend this home higher! It is big, beautiful, clean with everything you could possibly need for a wonderful vacation,. They even have shampoo, conditioner and body soap dispensers in the showers! They provided snorkeling gear, beach chairs, towels, sand toys for our grandson, coolers. The home is in an upscale neighborhood, which was not exactly what we were looking for, but we never heard anyone and the house is so bright and airy with these great views you feel like you are in a more secluded place. The path to the Queen's Bath is right around the corner, and there is a bluff in a vacant lot across the street with magnificent views of the sunset. The house is not airconditioned, although we didn't notice it much because of the trade winds and the openness of the house. The house is laid out so that there are open spaces and places where you can have more privacy. The one little complaint we had was that in the main master bedroom, there is one door that didn't open, and that is the only source of air with the exception of one small window. So it was hot in our room. We told the manager, because there was a sign that sald the lock was broken, and she told us to just open the door, but we could not get it open. They should really fix that door. But they have really thought of everything, including 2 washers and dryers, 2 dishwashers, comfortable beds, comfortable living spaces, big kitchen, BBQ grill, outside dining table and outside comfortable seating on the lanai.. You do have to drive to get anywhere, even the 2 gorgeous secluded beaches in the development, and parking can be a problem. But even still, my family is still walking around calling this the vacation of a lifetime! It was really perfect. We would go back to this home in a heartbeat. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous home with us!

As soon as you walk in, you know it’s a special place. The views are spectacular and the house was well stocked with everything a family may need. Just steps from Queen’s bath, which was such a treat for the kids to go and swim there in the mornings (make sure to only go in low tide!). Staying here made for an unforgettable vacation. Will always remember watching the sunrise from the gorgeous lanai.
