Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
No response from host although we called 3 times and Vacasa told us we would hear back. Dead roaches under the stairs and there was a piece of a Roche in the dryer. A coyote of other ones were seen around the house but I understand that can be normal in Hawaii. The dead ones left behind was alarming however. Jacuzzi doesn’t work, not ocean view. Property is super overpriced for what is offered.
We’ve stayed here multiple times with our family and it never disappoints. It is always spotless and ready to go when we arrive. It has multiple amenities beyond the bare bones we’ve had at other vacation rentals, including an abundance of beach equipment (THREE giant beach umbrellas, 6 beach chairs, body boards, coolers etc). In short, it has everything you could need or want to enjoy the many things Kauai has to offer, and with the pool/spa and remodeled kitchen it is a relaxing home base to rest and relax at following a day in the sun. We will definitely be visiting again!
This property was perfect for our stay in Princeville! The location was great - just a short drive from everything we did in the area. The house was very cute and was stocked with all the essentials. We would definitely stay again!
Great property, amazing views, pool is spectacular. Highly recommend!

AMAZING
Wake to coffee (from that fancy espresso machine) on a back porch seeing greenery and the ocean. Soak in the pool later. Close walk to the beach with no one on it. BBQ on the back porch for dinner. Jacuzzi soak in the evening.
Why leave the house?
But when we did, there were boogie boards, a surf board in the garage...oh, and lawn chairs and umbrellas!
Quiet retreat at a 5-star house

Loved it!
Great home with a great location! Beautiful home that fit our family of 6. Loved making our own food and soaking in the hot tub at night. The extras made the trip - surfboards, cooler, beach chairs, towels! Made it a lot of fun!
We loved the property and the island. Vacasa was super responsive to our random questions and concerns. House was immaculate. Would return for sure.

Great family vacation at Saltwater Hale
We had a wonderful week. When we arrived, the hot tub was cold, I called and within hours, it was fixed. The only slight drawback is you have to go out the front door and around the house to access the pool.
Very clean and comfortable. Would book this home again.

Hi, Michael. Thank you for providing us with this valuable feedback. We are so glad that you had a wonderful time at our beautiful home. We thank you for your feedback, as it helps us improve our guests' experiences. We look forward to welcoming you back for another fabulous getaway in the future.
House was clean and had the necessary amenities. Pool is great for the kids and family when you're to tired to go to the beach. Enough space for our family of 6. Lenie's are where my kids liked to spend the afternoons watching the birds around the property. I would definitely stay here again.
This house was amazing - we stayed with 6 people with a range of ages (7 - 55) and it was comfortable, quiet and the view was spectacular! Flowers, chickens, and geckos and were a feast for the eyes while we sat on the lanai. The pool and hot tub were great to off set time at the beach (we loved snorkeling at Anini) - the only issue we had were the controls to turn the hot tub on and off but the host sent someone to check it out within 30 min and they were able to show us how to get it working for our stay. It was a perfect place to spend a family vacation and we will definitely book again when we come back! Mahalo!
We were so lucky to find this home for rent for our stay in Kauai! The home was well appointed with kitchen amenities, bathroom amenities, towels for the pool, boogie boards, bikes, etc. There were four adults and two kids under six with us. Having the pool and hot tub and lots of space inside the home made for a very relaxing experience. The neighborhood is beautiful and just a short walk to a playground and Princeville market. Added bonus… You can see the ocean from the patios! I would highly recommend this home to others! Thanks for a fabulous stay!
We really enjoyed our stay at Saltwater Hale. In particular the kitchen is spectacular, and we really liked cooling off in the pristine pool. The two smaller bedrooms were great for our older children, though might not be ideal for adults. We were thrilled to find cane toads in the yard at night and got a kick out of watching the egrets chase the lawn mower. 4/5 stars because we were looking forward to riding the bikes that are pictured in the photos and were told not to, but overall very satisfied.

Beautiful home in the most beautiful part of Kauai!
This home is absolutely perfect! The large open windows allow you to take in the beautiful backyard view and lets in so much natural light all throughout the house! The kitchen had everything we needed (and more) to make delicious meals indoors when we wanted. The beds were super comfortable, and the bathrooms were stocked up with plenty of towels and necessities such as toiletries, soaps, and shampoos! We loved how they provided plenty of beach chairs and beach umbrellas, allowing us to enjoy hours at all the beaches we visited! The house is in the perfect location, near many beaches, such as Hanalei Bay, Anini beach, and Hideaway beach. The pool and hot tub was an added bonus to end each day! We had a week in paradise...we would definitely go back to this house in the future!

Clean and great location but no communication
The house was beautiful and clean. Location was perfect for us. 10 min drive (or less!) to about anything on the North shore. Extremley safe neighborhood. Which is the most important. But, as other reviews mentioned, issues with the pool/hot tub. The un useable small spa remote and non existing directions were a problem. I never received assistance from Vacasa but was able to go into the crawl space to find the main panel for the pool and used that. They only use text for communication and it is not a local contact. Although they said they would get back to me, they never did. (Please give directions on using the spa!) They also had confirmed it was ocean view but there was only a smidge or the ocean in the far, far distance. The bike tires were flat but they did deliver a pump within 24 hrs. It has no AC, but that was OK for us in early June. The doors were put on backwards so to go outside you had to open the left side of the french doors but then also unlatch the right sideof the french door as the screen door was on the opposite side from the french door.

Hello Connie, thank you for sharing your experience with us; we appreciate your honest feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful house, its perfect location near the North Shore attractions, and felt safe in the neighborhood. I’m sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with the pool and hot tub, especially the spa remote and lack of instructions. I also apologize for the lack of assistance and that communication was limited to text without a local contact to help you more directly. It’s disappointing to learn the ocean view wasn’t as expected and that the French doors were confusingly installed. I’m glad, though, that the bike pump arrived quickly to help with the flat tires. I’ve looked into the maintenance reports and saw that the issues were addressed, but it’s clear we fell short of keeping you updated and ensuring everything was resolved in a timely manner. We understand how important a smooth, relaxing vacation is, and I regret that we didn’t fully meet those expectations this time. We'd be grateful for the opportunity to welcome you back and provide the experience you truly deserve.

Not sure it was worth the money
The pool was the best part. The house was aesthetically pleasing. Very cutely decorated. All looked good at first glance. Open kitchen which was nice. The place has no air conditioning as it’s not common in the island to have AC . Which was fine except the bedding was cheap cotton sheets that didn’t breathe - the pillows were not good quality especially for the price paid per day/week. The porch room was filled with mini geckos which would have been fine but we wanted to have a teen sleep out there. The main floor bedroom had cockroaches in the room and bathroom. Both surprises on different mornings. The kitchen counter was filled with ants. Wouldn’t have been a big deal if they had the little ant raid pods but they didn’t. The grill was very worn down and ran out of gas the first night. Again under whelming patio table and grill for the price. I’d be more selective next time for sure. Regardless the island made everything amazing. Outside of those items mentioned it had towels, bikes, buggy boards and kitchen was well stocked.

The kind of place that becomes an annual tradition
Truly idyllic. The privacy of this home is unmatched - incredible ocean views, private pool and spa, full beautiful kitchen and every space is so thoughtfully designed. Brings the best of Kauai and the comfort of your own home. Truly hospitable - quick to answer questions. A 10/10 experience and someplace that’s perfect for a family or friend getaway that you’ll want to return to every year.

A Trip to Remember
What a vacation! This property was absolutely stunning. From the beautiful beaches, hiking trails, delicious food, shopping, and the warm and comfortable home, this was the best vacation we have had. The house was perfectly located for all of the different activities along the North Shore and was filled with all the amenities for cooking, internet and even fun at the beach. The beds were extra comfortable and the neighborhood was nice and quiet. The pool was an added bonus. The communication was fantastic and all needs/necessities were more than met.
We look forward to going back again one day soon!
Tim and Danielle
This property is a perfectly equipped rental with all the necessities needed. Great location, great set up for our two families with kids. We had a great time exploring the north shore! Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise!
