About this property

Hawaiian-style Oceanfront Villa - Outrageous Views, Beach Access, Ahh!

Enjoy Kauai's simple pleasures and grand landscapes right from home! From the moment you arrive, you immediately sense the Aloha spirit and the other-worldliness of Kauai's North Shore. Hanalei Bay Villas' surroundings are stunning and beyond beautiful; the unique charm, ideal location, and dramatic beauty provide an island experience to be treasured.

The Layout:

The home comfortably accommodates up to five guests. The villa is a traditional Hawaiian-style, two-story design with 1,365 sq ft of living space. Ultra high speed internet (268 Mbps) and all the comforts of home. To the South, the view looks over a lush green valley toward the rugged interior mountains with cascading waterfalls, shifting clouds, and brilliant rainbows. To the North, the home opens on to the shimmering blue Pacific. The scenic cliff overlook is a great place to take in sunset and to whale watch. These natural surroundings provide a dramatic backdrop to your island retreat; some of the most beautiful scenery on the island is right at home.

The living space, covered lanai, beach closet, and half bath are on the upper/entry level. The lower level of the home has three bedrooms, two full baths, another covered lanai, and laundry area with full size washer/dryer. Primary bedroom has a new Queen Tempur-Pedic firm mattress and walk-in closet; 2nd bedroom has a brand new King mattress and large closet; and office serving as the third bedroom has a new Twin XL and desk.

Villa #29 sits atop a ridge-line allowing ocean trade winds to flow through the house keeping it fresh, bright, and comfortable. There are numerous louvered windows, sliding glass doors, solar shades, ceiling fans and several area fans throughout. The primary and second bedroom have A/C units for additional sleeping comfort if desired, and the 3rd bedroom has louvered bay windows with an ocean cross breeze.

The Neighborhood:

Beautiful beaches are within close walking distance. A short and steep foot trail leads down to Kenomene Beach (aka 'Hideaways'), ideal for basking on the warm golden sands or resting under the large shade trees. This 300' stretch of beach is divided by a rock outcropping and offers great snorkeling and coastal views. Pu'u Poa Beach on the eastern shore of the bay fronts 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay and can be accessed by an outdoor staircase. Follow the foot trail around the bay and, during low tide, you can wade across the Hanalei River to Hanalei Pier & Beach Pavilion.

Within the community of Princeville you will also find gems to visit such as Queen’s Bath, Kaweonui Beach and Wyllie Beach. You can play the award winning Maka'i golf course, jog along the 3 mile path, practice sunrise yoga on the bluff, workout at the outdoor fitness circuit, visit the playground and play tennis at the nearby courts. Princeville Ranch offers private horsemanship lessons on 2,500 acres of private lands on the North Shore of Kaua'i and several artist and farmers markets take place throughout the month at Prince Albert Park.

The Princeville Center just two miles away offers a grocery store, grab and go deli, wine market, convenience store, specialty boutiques, art galleries, full service restaurants and casual courtyard cafes.

Just Down The Road:

Princeville, nestled between Hanalei (4 miles W) and Kilauea (7 mi S), is central to all North Shore attractions and activities. Truly, all are within twelve scenic miles of the villa; including the quaint town of Hanalei, Limahuli National Tropical Botanical Gardens, the pristine Na Pali Coast and the Kalalau Trailhead, Kilauea Point Lighthouse & National Wildlife Refuge, and many more hiking trails and beautiful beaches to explore.

This is a County Approved Visitor Destination Area (VDA). Our private home is registered with the Princeville Community Association as a vacation rental and in compliance with the State of Hawaii. Hawaii Transient Accommodations and General Excise Tax ID 055-964-2624-01.

Amazing Place

We had a an absolute blast staying here. We had everything we needed/wanted. Walk to beach was close, walk to Welina Terrace Restaurant/Bar was even closer. We stayed with our two adult children and their SO's and we had more than enough space. We want to return the as soon as we are able.

Perfect stay for our first Kauai experience

Wonderful home and location for our first visit to Kauai. The owners truly want to share their knowledge and experiences with you, providing an in-depth guide on the sights and opportunities available on the island along with the amenities you need including beach, snorkeling and hiking gear. Nice, comfortable and very well-appointed home with stunning views. Excellent communication with the owner, who checked in with us throughout the trip. We would love to stay here again!

Lovely, comfortable property with great views

Comfortable, pretty free-standing cottage perched on a hillside with great views in either direction! The well kept house has everything you could need - local bath products, surfer microfiber towels, a closet full of beach gear, stocked modern kitchen, comfortable furniture and nice linens, a top notch guidebook with tons of great local recommendations, ukuleles, and much more. It is obviously a place that the owners love and have used themselves for many years, and it shows. It's part of a golf course community and there are tons of people jogging or walking by, looking at the amazing view from the bluff across the street from the villa. It's about 2 miles to the town of Princeville but you can walk to a couple of restaurants (the golf course grill, a highly rated breakfast place that was closed when we were there) AND it's just up the street from the super fancy 1 Hotel, that has several high end restaurants and bars. The hotel entry post was restricting non-guests from walking in when we were there (spring break week) but if you walk down to the public beach along the side steps (Puu Poa Beach) - the beach bar is right there, and you can access the hotel. Amazing sunset drinks! One thing to note: if you have little kids or older folks (like we did) the beach access from this cottage is not easy. It's a long walk with a lot of stuff down a steep hill or steps. We ended up driving around for easier beaches, which was fine - just something to know. Mahalo Donna!

A perfect house

This was a perfect house for our first visit to Kauai. The homeowners have thought of everything. They manage it themselves and put a lot of attention to detail into their home. The house was spotlessly clean and you really have everything you could think of (i.e. beach towels, umbrella, chairs, supplies like laundry detergent, etc). The location was also good, within walking distance to a golf course and some restaurants. We had a rental car and there was an assigned parking spot near the house for us. We will definitely recommend the villa to others.

Perfect location

We enjoyed our stay here. It’s our 5th visit to the island and 3rd time renting through VRBO, and it was our favorite rental property by far. The location was perfect, decoration of the house was very welcoming, and spacious enough for 5 of us. Appreciated their beach equipments and tumble water bottles which we used daily. I wasn’t used to using an electronic stove top, but other than that, their kitchen is well equipped as well. Very comfortable stay. Loved the mountain and the ocean views, walking distance to 1 Hotel and Hideaway beach. We’ll definitely try to stay here again on our next visit. Thank you Donna!

Lanai views.

Donna is a great host. Her communication and attention to detail is top tier! We just got back and already long to be sitting back on the lanai. The location of this villa is prime. One side is a jungle and mountains with waterfalls. The other is a Cliffside ocean view the commands a crowd at sunset. However this site your front yard. The best shopping, beaches, views and restaurants are literally steps away from your Villa. Great for a photographer such as myself. With potential gardens and the queens bath at your doorstep. I didn't want to leave.

This is absolutely one of the best rental properties. You cannot beat enjoying coffee on the lanai with views of the mountains or hearing the ocean out the front door.
