About this property

Private Island Oasis on Kauai's North Shore!

Welcome to Hale Keko (“The Monkey House”), a serene retreat tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the upscale Princeville resort community on Kaua‘i’s breathtaking North Shore. Enjoy peaceful surroundings with a short walk to the Princeville Center’s shops and dining, or take a quick drive to Hanalei Bay or ‘Anini Beach for snorkeling, surfing, swimming, and sun-soaked relaxation.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice the vibrant landscaping, swaying palms lining the driveway, and colorful tropical blooms. The front porch invites you to unwind on a handcrafted wooden bench and soak in the tranquil neighborhood vibe.

Step inside to an airy, open-concept layout with beautiful hardwood floors, high ceilings, and an abundance of natural light. The living, kitchen, and dining areas flow seamlessly together, creating a perfect gathering space for friends and family. Throughout the home, you’ll find playful nods to the home’s namesake monkeys, as well as turtles, parrots, and island-inspired art. The cozy bamboo-framed couch faces a flat-screen TV with cable, DVD player, a collection of movies, and board games for fun evenings in.

The fully equipped kitchen features stainless steel appliances and everything you need to cook at home. In the dining room, honu (Hawaiian sea turtle) artwork adds to the island charm, including a beautiful oil painting and copper-framed accents.

The spacious master suite offers a king bed, custom wooden furniture, his-and-hers walk-in closets, and private access to the backyard. The ensuite bath features marble floors, granite vanity, a Jacuzzi tub, and a separate walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms offer queen beds and are equally welcoming.

Out back, relax on the covered lanai with a BBQ grill, surrounded by lush landscaping and birdsong. The view of Kaua‘i’s majestic "Bali Hai" mountain range is truly unforgettable.

Whether you're seeking adventure—snorkeling, surfing, hiking, horseback riding, or even helicopter tours—or just want to unwind in comfort, Hale Keko is your perfect home away from home on the North Shore.

5 night minimum, other minimum stay may apply seasonally; please contact us for details.

*As with most homes on Kauai, this vacation rental is not air conditioned.

Great Neighborhood and Home!

We spend a lot of time in Kauai, visiting close friends and generally we stay in a condo. Having this house right in the heart of the Princeville community and close to our friends was amazing. Being in this great house in this great neighborhood, made you feel like you were part of the community for a short little bit on this amazing island.

Spacious & Comfortable!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Plenty of room for our family of 5. The house was very clean, good amenities and great location. Good communication from Oceanfront. Only improvement would be to fix one of the blinds in the primary bedroom. Would definitely stay here again.

The location was perfect for where we needed to be on island. The only improvements I would recommend are better cleaning (!) and a first aid kit including hydrogen peroxide. Will be back!

Comfy accommodations/Great Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our party of four had a great experience with this rental. The communications with the rental company were prompt, professional, friendly, and clear. We would’ve liked a regular sized coffee pot vs the tiny hotel-room-sized one on site but that’s a pretty minor inconvenience. We primarily spend time on the North Shore so this location was close. Wylie beach is within walking distance (1.4 mi) but it’s a bit steep so it’s not for everyone. Neighbors were super friendly. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Fantastic Company

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Staying in a very nice 2 bedroom condo. Late in the evening there was a leak into master bathroom from unit above. Within 15 minutes we were moved to a beautiful home that was more expensive but we were not charged anymore.

Thanksgiving

All around amazing location. Only recommendation would be to renew beach supplies, they were somewhat wore out. The house has everything to make your vacation stay a great one. Mahalo

Basically no Internet

Although the house listed with WiFi in reality it is so slow so smartphone connection is 100x faster. These days you need WiFi for streaming, games and connection to work - for nomads and freelancers that may be actually working two or three hours a day. All three need high speed since everything else is available on your phone. House connection is very slow. Amazon Prime video breaks all the time and even when it works, picture is very bad. Attempt to connect to client corporate network failed 100%, had to use phone tethering.

Holiday Family Thanksgiving

This is a beautiful home which met our expectations in every way for our week long stay with our mothers who joined us for the Thanksgiving week holiday. King Bedroom was spacious with walk in closet and large private bath; and two bedrooms with queen beds were perfect for our mothers. The kitchen had all of the basics to cook a family thanksgiving dinner early and enjoy the left overs the rest of the week. Grocery store is close and we saved a great deal of money on meals during the vacation with cooking at home. The home had all of the cleaning supplies to keep my wife happy maintaining a clean kitchen and house. The laundry room was welcome after our week long adventure on the other islands. We played cards and enjoyed a few of the books during our down time. The furnishings were comfortable and inviting (felt like home). The internet and satellite TV kept us in touch with current events but we mostly explored the island during the day. Our best times together were when we visited a number of beaches during the day with Anini Beach being our favorite with ample parking. The farmers market is a must if you spend a week in the house - purchased fresh flowers that adorned the house and fresh pineapple and vegetables were available just a few miles away. VRBO local message updates on current events / activities in the community was helpful in planning our day - this is top notch service. Our family recommends this home and will likely stay again in the future when the trade winds bring us back to Kauai. We will miss the live Rooster alarm clocks outside our window.

Wonderful house!

We loved our week long stay at this house. It is in a quiet residential area, that is very convenient to Hanalei. The house was well stocked and in great condition. Oceanfront Properties made staying here very easy and enjoyable! Their concierge, Mike is full of information and helping you book any excursions you may want!

Beautifully decorated, equipped with a nice layout with a mountain view in princeville. My three friends experienced their first visit to Hawaii and were very very impressed with our 5 star home! Great location with all amenities close by! I would definitely recommend this home and would gladly return for my next trip to paradise!
