Ocean Pool Hale 3br 2ba Cozy Princeville Home with Private Pool, Hot tub and Ocean Views, Beach Gear
Welcome to the Ocean Pool Hale, an cozy Hawaiian escape in the heart of lush Kauai. This three-bedroom, two-bathroom single-level home is nestled in peaceful Princeville, a community known for its magnificent scenery and world-class golfing. This lovely home features amenities such as a private pool, hot tub and ocean views. It is ready to host up to six guests for the ultimate trip, where relaxation and adventure collide.
The primary suite comes with all the fixings, from a comfy king-size bed and spacious closet to a TV and sliding glass door access to the private outdoor patio where you can enjoy your morning coffee or access the private pool. Best of all, this room offers an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower and double vanity. The first guest bedroom includes a queen bed and just down the hall is the third bedroom which has 2 twin size beds. And no need to worry about bathroom time, since guests have easy access to a second full bathroom down the hall with a shower/tub combo.
Now that you're all settled in, it's time to check out the rest of the house! There's nothing better than hanging out together on the cozy living room sofa to watch a good show or enjoy a conversation. That's not all, you have TWO cozy living spaces to choose from. One from which you can see the private pool. Probably the best part of the Ocean Pool Hale is the outdoor space. Take a dip in your private pool after a day of exploring, get some sun on the lounge chairs, enjoy dinner Al Fresco on the outdoor dining table and relax in the evening in your private hot tub. There's something for everyone! Don't forget the stunning ocean view just beyond the pool!
After long days of golfing or exploring the island, you're probably starving. Look no further than our fully stocked kitchen. With ample countertop space and appliances, it's got everything you need to cook your favorite recipes. Even eating is an experience here at the Ocean Pool Hale. Enjoy your food from one of the two dining room tables, or the scenic outdoor table surrounded by vegetation and views.
When you're not savoring your time at home, you can easily hop onto Kuhio Highway for a breathtaking drive to Hanalei, where pristine beaches and snorkeling spots are waiting to be explored. We told you this would be an unparalleled Hawaiian escape!
Other Things to Note The primary renter must be at least 21 years old to book. NO pets allowed. Guests have access to two free parking spaces.
The Neighborhood When you stay at our Ocean Pool Hale, you'll be situated in Princeville in Kauai, Hawaii. Princeville offers a dreamy and tranquil vacation experience, nestled in a serene community. This quiet locale provides a perfect escape for those seeking relaxation and adventure alike. Guests will be just steps from the Makai Golf Course, offering 18 scenic holes, some with excellent ocean views. For beach lovers, you can head down to the One Hotel and access Puu Poa Beach, or hike (it IS a steep hike so only those confident in their abilities should go) to Hideaways beach. A quick drive down Kuhio Highway leads to the picturesque town of Hanalei, where pristine beaches and snorkeling spots await. Princeville will also satisfy those looking to shop and dine. Browse the shops at Princeville Shopping Center, and grab groceries at Foodland. For dinner, swing by Hideaways Pizza for some satisfying grub, or savor a fine dining experience in the luxurious 1 Hotel that features stunning ocean views and a top tier restaurant.
Exploring the stunning vistas of Hanalei is also a must, with its lush landscapes and panoramic vistas. And the town also boasts a plethora of dining and shopping options, where you can get a true taste of local Hawaiian life.
For those seeking more adventure, a visit to Princeville Ranch promises an exciting day of exploration. Animal lovers will love wandering through the rainforest trails on a horseback riding tour. Couples can pack a lunch for the experience to discover hidden picnic spots for a romantic lunch date.
Hikers in Princeville will be delighted by the numerous scenic trails in the area. The Hanakapiai Falls Trail in Haena offers a moderate hike that leads to a stunning waterfall, surrounded by lush greenery. Make sure to make a reservation with the county parks department for the hike and to park at Ke'e Beach. For a true bucket list adventure, the Kalalau Trail in the Na Pali Coast State Wilderness Park offers a challenging but rewarding journey along rugged cliffs and through valleys with breathtaking views of the coastline. A county parks reservation is required for this hike.
Whatever you choose, the Ocean Pool Hale is a perfect home base during your adventures on Kauai!

Great location, great amenities and a perfect place for our family of four to call home base for a week. The pool was so great for the kids and the house has everything you’ll need!
Great house and pool! Super functional house on the north side of Kauai, in a quiet neighborhood! Pool and hot tub are nice to have onsite. Great sleeping set up if you have kids. Communication with property managers is quick and easy! Will be back!
This house is well located in a quiet area! It has everything you need ! Beaches accessible by driving but very close - we recommend Anini beach which is wonderful for snorkeling ! Easy communication with the company . Everything was perfect ! We will definitely stay in this house if we come back again.
Clean, cozy and spacious property with everything you could need! The pool was great and the hot tub was a nice feature after a long day of hiking. We enjoyed the location as the neighborhood was great and close to all Princeville/Hanalei has to offer. Beds were very comfortable and you could tell this property is well cared for and properly maintained. Property manager was helpful with any questions about the area as well. Highly recommend!
We loved our Honeymoon stay at Ocean Pool!!! I have stayed at many VRBOs and none have been better equipped. Everything needed in the kitchen was available! We would return in a heartbeat BUT only when the pool would be at a tolerable temperature. It was unusable in December for us.
Feels like our home away from home. We are a returning family for our third time at this pool house. We love it!! We spent 11 days and our 4th of July on this beautiful island.
This house offers everything you need - privacy, pool, secluded beach with excellent snorkeling , perfect sunrises, sunsets within walking distance, stars at night, an ocean view, waves to hear at night and not to mention your local friendly albatross. The house has all the amenities needed for our family of 6 - cooking ware, towels, beach towels, beach gear, board games, bbq and washer and dryer. One of the best parts of our stays has been Samantha. She has always answered a question or concern, given advise on where to go, and has been a genuine when speaking with us which made us feel like we were speaking to friend rather than a owner. Thank you so much for sharing your house and giving us memories we will never forget. Kauai and Samantha,

A Lovely Place!
Our stay at the Ocean Pool House was lovely. The view was stunning and relaxing. Our kids enjoyed going back and forth from the hot tub to the pool on those mornings we weren't ready to trek to the beach just yet. The house really had everything we needed, including beach chairs, pool floats, beach toys, and beach umbrellas. We were traveling with an infant so we did have to rent some baby gates and bring some baby proofing gear to make it safe and allow us to relax a bit more. :) The neighborhood was quiet and the house was clean. And we loved seeing the many albatross nesting throughout the neighborhood. And laundry was key! The caretaker - Samantha - was very responsive. This was our 2nd time staying in Princeville. We have stayed in Hanalei before but with the recent flooding I was a bit worried...so we were glad we stayed up in Princville which is convenient to many shops and restaurants. You won't be disappointed spending a week or two at the Ocean Pool House.
The property was perfect for the 5 of us. Easily fit 6 no problem.Plus’-Management company was stellar. Pool and hot tub. Location. Easy access to trail leading to hidden beach. Amenities-beach chairs, towels. Washer and dryer. Clean. Open floor planNegative-only 2 bathroomsNeeds a bit updating but not an issueRecommend highly. We would definitely go back to this property
We spent our second week on the island here and the experience was worth every moment! Plenty of time in the pool, feeling the cooling trade winds, hearing the ocean, having albatross in the neighborhood and hiking down to nearby beaches! It was so relaxing and a welcome respite from the go go go well that proceeding it. We loved it!
Upon our arrival we found the home to be as advertised. Unfortunately, the parts that were left out are there was no ac. The home was hot as in sweat hot from about 2pm until around 9 daily. Especially, if you were preparing meals in the kitchen for dinner. Entering the pool we came to a sudden stop about knee deep. The water was so cold our feet began to go numb. There are such things as solar blankets these days. Upon our disappointment we headed to the hot tub. We found it adequate for two people. Thank goodness we didn’t invite friends. Unless you are extremely friendly, this tub is just big enough for two people. The master bed has “peaks and valleys” where guests have slept and the mattress was just this side of sleeping on concrete. We chose one of the spare bedrooms to sleep. Since they don’t give you enough characters to list the other things, which were disappointing, I’ll try to summarize. On more than one occasion we had people in our back yard day and night unannounced. One night we arrived at 7pm to find our drive blocked and someone in the back yard in the pitch black with rear doors and windows left open. A last touch we were grilling our last night to discover the propane tank empty as well as the spare in the garage. BOTTOM LINE: We would not return to this property! As nice as it appears, the amenities were mostly unusable. The only reason for 3 stars was you can hear the waves crashing on the shore sitting out by the pool. The only place to be from 2-9pm.
This property allowed our whole family to spread out with 3 bedrooms 2 baths and multiple living rooms. Nice view of the ocean, no beach access. Hot tub was great. Pool was cold. Location is great for seeing sites on the north and east side of Kauai. The neighborhood is nice and safe and a quick drive to beaches, shopping and restaurants. Full kitchen and washer dryer. The owner was great, great communication, easy check in/check out process and introduced us to a woman that books events in the island. Things book up quickly during busy season like Christmas and spring break. Book ahead of your trip. Only negatives are that the House does not have air conditioning and the beds are very hard. Master bath does not have its own door.
We had a fantastic vacation for 11 nights! The house is great, pool is super and Samantha was very accommodating with any questions or needs we had. Nice neighborhood, view of the ocean from the pool, orange trees in the yard and overall a great place to relax! Thanks Samantha!
We had an amazing time here. Whether hanging at the house and enjoying the pool, hot tub, and the indoor space, or out recreating all over the island, we relaxed and enjoyed the perfect launch pad for exploring Kauai. The owners are very thorough, responsive, and attentive.
Mahalo!!!
This property was amazing. My family went for a relaxing laid back vacation and with 3 kids 4 and under, it was our first actual vacation where we were able to kick back and relax with nothing to do but enjoy our personal salt water pool and hot tub and listen to the waves all day long. Samantha was a great host, very attentive and seemed generally excited to host us. She was very responsive anytime I texted her. The house was perfect for us. My kids being little, it was nice to have our own pool as resorts tend to scare them a little when bigger kids splash too much in the pool. We literally were in the pool and hot tub 3-4 times per day. We spent 11 days there and are already looking to book our next vacation here in this same home. I felt at home in paradise.
I know there was a nasty review about the house being dated, dirty, bugs, etc. Complete BS. This is a house, with the privacy you get along with it that you do not get in a hotel. It doesn't have to be perfect, and if the paint job of the house (which was fine by the way) is something that is going to be a priority for enjoying your vacation, then a hotel with all the amenities is the way to go, a private oasis is not for you. It's true, there is no A/C, but we were there in June and never needed it. The home was airy and never was it stuffy or hot. I cooked every day, even made a birthday cake for my baby who turned 1 there, and it was never hot even with the stove and oven on.
My kids are like little heaters, yet they were nice and fresh and slept perfect the entire stay, something they do not do if they are too hot.
My only complaint was the geckos in the house, which was not the fault of the homeowner or the home itself. All the screens were in place so i think the little suckers were just faster than us as we went in and out.
We did sight see a bit, mostly trying out the different beaches on the island, though we mainly stayed home and relaxed. Our favorite beach Hanalei was just a 10 minute ride from Princeville. We found it had the softest sand. The south side of the island is definitely hotter, but truthfully we didn't find it much hotter and the plush scenery was definitely missing. Having gone to other parts of the island helped to confirm that Princeville is the most beautiful area and we will never stay anywhere but there in the future. Though really it's all Hawaii, so you can't go wrong!
Mahalo Samantha and we cannot wait to be back soon!
We spent seven days in Kauai and couldn't have found a better place to stay. The pool was definitely the highlight of the house; so wonderful to be able to jump in the pool and cool down just steps from the house! House was great for our family of teens- it was fully equipped, had everything we needed. Samantha was so helpful and responsive. Finally, we really liked being on the north shore; Princeville was a really nice residential area and close to some absolutely amazing beaches and hikes.

Christmas Vacation
We spent Christmas vacation in this home (2 weeks), as a family of 6 adults.
We enjoyed the quiet area where the home is located, the waves crashing in the distance was lovely to fall asleep to in the master bedroom.
The home is as advertised and photographed. However, we did feel that it could use some maintenance and a deep clean. The outdoor grill is in poor condition, and it was nearly out of propane when we arrived. Also, some of the furniture needs to be replaced or repaired.
We enjoyed most of our meals at home, the kitchen was well stocked and equipped.
I believe the beach mentioned in the ad is "Sea Lodge beach". It is a bit of a hike down, steep and slippery at times. You must be prepared to climb over boulders and tree stumps to enjoy. It is a quaint little beach that does not get much sun.
There is plenty of lounge chairs around the pool, as well as beach chairs, floaties, flippers, water shoes and boogie boards in the garage. We enjoyed beaches all over the island, as well as the pool and hot tub in the yard.
Hanalei Bay is very close by (10 minute drive), we would highly recommend hanging out there. The beach is lovely and the town has nice shops & places to eat.
Unfortunately, everything else is minimum 40 minutes away. We enjoyed some hikes, kayaking and a Helicopter tour around the Kappa area (45 minutes). Na Pali Coast boat tours and Waimea canyon (1.5-2 hours).
With that said, it was our decision to stay in Princeville, it is nothing against the vacation home; and we did enjoy the location. Princeville has an upscale island vibe, and we found that is was mostly friendly locals in the area.
Thank you Samantha for hosting a relaxing family vacation.

The Ocean Pool House was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Beautiful pool, spa, and great location.
The Ocean Pool Ocean House has a beautiful view, pool, spa, and yard. The house is spacious and the kitchen is well stocked with many utensils, plates, and pots and pans... There is a washing machine and dryer in the garage. The location of the house is great, with Hanalei and a grocery store and restaurants just down the road. The trail down to the beach was a fun little hike; I recommend wearing tennis shoes as the trail was a bit slippery in flip flops. We went on several excursions while staying at the house: (Captain Andy’s Sunset dinner cruise, Smith’s Family Luau, Princeville ATV and zipline tour, Helicopter tour, and Wailua Falls, and Poipu Beach, Gaylord’s and Koala Rum tour) all of which took us no more than 2 hours to get there. Samantha was a pleasure to work with. We’d love to return for another fun trip to Kauai very soon.

Very nice home with pool and ocean view
The home is well located for beaches, stores, etc. We were grandparents with grown kids and grandkids. The home fit all of our needs and the grandkids loved the pool. We walked twice daily to check the goony bird chicks and had a great time. The private home was very nice and quiet.
