From the Host

Punahele offers an immersive Kauai experience with sweeping ocean, mountain, and golf-course views from an expansive lanai designed for outdoor living. Guests can unwind in a hot tub or a conversation pit while trade winds carry in spectacular sunsets. The open-plan living area connects to a chef’s kitchen and dining spaces, blending social gathering with relaxed island comfort.

Description

Hawaii Life Rentals presents Punahele - Ocean View Luxury Vacation Home The space This may be the Hawaiian vacation rental of your dreams. Discover Kauai and the North Shore of Kauai overlooking the outer portions of Hanalai Bay, the Bali Hai and the ocean view holes of the Makai golf course. This vacation rental has not only these water, mountain and golf course views, but proximity to Queen’s Bath, local beaches, and the Princeville shopping center, all within walking distance via Princeville’s walking and biking paths. Views are from a 1200 square foot covered lanai, complete with dining and high-top bar tables, BBQ, an intimate conversation pit and hot tub, coupled with near constant trade winds and spectacular sunsets at the end of each day. Beyond the lanai’s almost unbelievable setting and views, the elevated lanai hot tub is a special feature unique to this home, combining to make this house and lanai either the highlight of your vacation experience or in line with all the other ‘over the top’ vacation experiences you will experience while visiting Kauai. Adjacent to the lanai is the living room, indoor bar, kitchen and more formal indoor dining areas, co-located in an open, high vaulted ceiling space. The living room and dining room are connected to the lanai via large multi-panel sliding glass doors. The living room has a large TV, a large sectional sofa, swivel side chairs, and a fireplace seldom needed at a location enjoying 70 to 80F day and night temperatures. Please note, the living room does not have air-conditioning. The large gourmet kitchen with center island is a place from which the chef will shine. The center island with seating for four is for all to enjoy food, drink, and conversation while the culinary experience is developing, with the chef having both social contact and all that is needed to work his or her magic within arms-length. Indoor dining has seating for eight, with lanai dining having seating for six and an adjacent high-top bar with seating for another six. There is a mid-level master bedroom and bath. The master bedroom has a new articulated Tempurpedic king size bed and large screen Smart TV. The master bath has an enclosed pebble-based shower, dual sink vanity, and ‘Smart’ bidet toilet. Downstairs has two more bedrooms and a large den with Murphy bed. The den has a large screen TV surrounded by a large sectional sofa, a game / dining table and office space. This room is a great place for our guests to pursue other activities, separate from those enjoying the upper-level / lanai experience. Downstairs is connected to an outdoor shower and an outdoor patio with a seating / conversation area, and ‘a tropical paradise’ hammock for your special kick back time. The lanai, patio, and almost every room in the house has a ceiling fan and nearly constant trade winds for comfort. And to mitigate the infrequent much warmer weather in the evenings, all bedrooms are air conditioned with independent control of AC for each room. Each bedroom has an associated full bath, with den occupants sharing one of two downstairs bathrooms. There is beach equipment and bicycles for guest use, in addition to the fully equipped kitchen and other amenities to create and enhance your vacation experience. Basic paper goods, linens and towels are provided, requiring just food, drink, clothes, personal effects and a sense of adventure to enjoy all that Kauai has to offer. Hawaii Life Rentals is a locally owned, licensed real estate company with rentals on Kauai, Maui, Oahu, and Hawaii. We offer on-island personal assistance and Concierge services. Rates do not include taxes, cleaning and applicable fees. Hawaii Life/VRBO bookings: Guests must sign a rental contract within 48 hours of booking to confirm the reservation.
