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 Queen Tempur-Pedic platform bed and walk-in closet; 2nd bedroom has a king size bed and large closet; and office serving as the third bedroom has a twin bed 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 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.

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!

The property's description is very accurate. We found the location and dwelling met our needs exceptionally well. Please keep in mind this is in a residential community.

Villa 29 was a great escape! The ocean out the front door and then the tropical jungle from the back lanai was breathtaking! The villa inside was just as special with everything one needs to experience a truly fun and relaxing vacation.

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.

The location of the property is incredible! Views outside front door and back door are breathtaking. Home is well equipped with everything you need for your travels including cooking essentials (like oil, flour, sugar, and spices), beach gear (umbrellas chairs, coolers, and sunscreen), tp and paper towels, and some toiletries. Very comfortable accommodations. Communication with owner fast and reliable. Our family had the best time in Kauai and cannot wait to go back. Thank Donna and your family!

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. Beach is just a short 5-10 minute walk. The house has every amenity you could wish for, including all beach gear. Donna and Chase were extremely accommodating and were so generous with a welcome birthday gift. We cannot recommend this place enough.

We usually stay in our timeshare. This trip we tried VRBO (our first VRBO). The villa is beautiful along with the scenery. We will not be using our timeshare for Kauai for future trips but hopefully will be using this property.

Beautiful Princeville location with views of the mountains and the ocean is across the street. The house had everything we needed for our 10 day stay. Great quality kitchen along with comfy beds, sheets and towels. Also, we appreciated the beach chairs, snorkel equipment, umbrellas and towels. We will be back!

This house was perfect for our Kauai vacation. The location is unbeatable, the mountain views from the lanai are unparalleled, and the property is in wonderful condition. Communication with Donna couldn’t have been better, we felt right at home the whole time.

Property is beautiful and well kept. It has all the necessary amenities you would ever need including bbq, outdoor activity gear and a kitchen with all the pots,pans utensils you need to create great meals. Owner was super responsive to all our queries. Great location and view. We have been to Princeville many times and this unit is now our favorite.

We had a wonderful time here, waking up to a view of the mountains and stepping out the door to see the ocean is magical. The Villa is extremely well equipped, the kitchen has everything you could need in good working order, and excellent high speed internet (if you need it for remote work). Full beach gear on hand as well. Really a gem of a rental.

Very very satisfied with this Villa in Princeville- all around- location, in walking distance to the hideaway beach, which is great for snorkeling, a short drive to the beautiful beach in Hanalei, long sandy beach with nice waves and the most amazing setting; across lookout over the ocean; backing out to lush green and Mountain View’s, parking in front of the house; house has generous layout with very well stocked kitchen, that we used for majority of our meals, dining area, comfortable living room area , bedrooms comfortable, very much appreciated beach chairs, umbrellas and snorkeling gear; quite, private and lots of light; road in front of the house is quite, and with sidewalks for pleasant morning run; not much traffic; communication with host easy; supermarket close by and well stocked for all our needs; great place!!

My entire family enjoys staying in this gym. We are so fortunate that we found it several months ago and could lock in our stay. Hideaways beach was beautiful and fun to get to. The water was crystal clear and the snorkeling was impressive. We really enjoyed relaxing on the lanai for our morning coffee with the majestic mountains as our backdrop. It was only a 30 minute scenic drive to get to other high-rated beaches and hiking trails. We travel quite a bit and have to say that this was definitely the nicest place we’ve ever stayed.

This is a perfect villa for a family trip to Kauai and the awesome Princeville area. Access to beach and activities in the area are easy.

We had a great time at this house. It was clean and the location couldn’t be beat. Ocean in the front and mountains in the back. It was close enough to all we wanted to see and easy enough for day trips to any part of the island. The breeze was enough to keep us cool and we brought a hammock for the back deck that was used often. Donna worked with me when I forgot a bag on the big island and allowed me to have it mailed for the rest of our vacation. Would definitely stay again.

This property is perfect! The location can’t be beat. The furnishings are high end, it is spotless and it’s stocked with everything you need. What a blessing to be able to use the beach equipment, too! We plan to bring the rest of the family sometime in the future.

It was the second time our family of 5 stayed at the wonderful villa. We truly love this house and location! Donna and Art are very responsive and provide everything you need for a wonderful vacation, including a list of things to do in the area. The kitchen is fully stocked, they have beach towels, coolers, water bottles, boogie boards, snorkel equipment, beach chairs, really everything you will need. We walked to Hideaway's beach, it's a steep cliffside path with great snorkeling. You can walk to the beach at The St. Regis as well. We hiked a few different trails and had dinner in Halalei. The air conditioners in the bedrooms were nice to block out the roosters crowing at 4 am (but you hear them all over the island). All of the reviews are accurate, this is the perfect house and location!

This little house is just perfect. Donna has it so organized - everything you need is easy to find. Well stocked kitchen which was great to cook in. The view from the back deck is super gorgeous. The house is very clean and tastefully appointed. We just loved it. Had a wonderful anniversary thanks to this house. Great location too. Short walk to the St Regis and a very cool beach is pretty much across the street using a slightly tricky cliffside trail. Easy to get the beach below the St Regis as well. We'd definitely stay here again. Thanks Donna!

Loved the location, a short walk to magical "Hideaways" beach which is great for swimming and snorkeling. Quiet, peaceful. Step outside your front door to watch the sun set over the ocean (in the summer only). Stargazing any time it's clear. Rain is frequent in Kauai; be prepared. Do the Napali hike (first two miles) but bring Keens or similar "river" sandals as hiking on this island is MUDDY. House had everything, even a ukelele and discount cards for the local grocery store (Foodland in Princeville). Best stocked VRBO we've ever stayed in. Delighted to find a rice cooker, electric skillet, blender. Beach gear, too. Most unexpected delight: the view from the back patios (upper and lower) is simply spectacular. The golf course is mostly hidden by forest, and the mountains fill the scene. I could've sat there all day. We did have one significant issue and contacted the homeowner, who responded promptly and had it immediately taken care of. Highly recommend this property.

This house is amazing and the owner is so helpful and accommodating. We can't wait to vacation again in Kauai next summer at this same home. The house has everything you need and the location is perfect!

I can't say enough great things about this property. All of the previous positive reviews are accurate. The views of the mountains are spectacular. The interior is spacious and the condo is well-stocked. Very comfortable and plenty of room for my family of four. The owner was very accommodating and was very fast in responding to any of my questions along the way.

My family and I stayed here for about a week and absolutely fell in love with this place. The view from the lanai is beyond words to describe how spectacular it is. You feel like you are in the backdrop of Jurassic Park. And then you have the best of both worlds because you have the beach sunset view just across the street in the front of the villa. The home decor is so cute- very hawaiian and goes great with the island theme. The beds are so comfortable and the house is fully stocked with anything you could need. This includes snorkel gear, boogie boards, beach towels and kitchen necessities. Donna is very responsive and makes sure you are taken care of before and after you arrive. I definitely plan on staying in this beautiful home when I return to Kauai again. Absolutely stunning house!!! You will truly be in paradise when you stay here!

I'm not sure what I can say about this house that hasn't already been said?! If I could give this home 10 stars I would. First, the home itself is in the best location in Princeville! Each morning we walked to the shops in Princeville and had breakfast ~ round trip it was about 4 miles. We walked to 2 beaches (Hidden Beach and the St. Regis Beach) and each night all we had to do was walk 20 steps across the street to have the best view of the sunset. People drive from all over the island to this exact point to watch the sunsets and we were able to just walk out our front door. And the view of the mountains while sitting on the back patio is stunning. We counted waterfalls each morning and even saw a few rainbows. You are just a 10 minute drive time to Hanalei as well. Second, the amenities here are way more than expected. The bed in the master bedroom was just what we needed after hiking and/or snorkeling all day. The kitchen was equipped with everything you can think of. There was even a crock pot with island recipes included! And if you needed something to take to the beach, it was there. Chairs, towels, umbrellas, hats, snorkel equipment, boogie boards, etc. My husband and I are pretty active so not only would we walk in the morning but we found many different hikes throughout the island. By the end of the day our clothes were less than desirable. So the fact that there was a full size washer/dryer in the house made it all the more bearable! It was like we were staying at a family members house....not a rental. Third, Donna and Art were amazing to work with. They are always quick to respond to answer any question and they make you feel like you have known them forever. They are more than gracious too. There was some unexpected maintenance at the neighbors house, so Art and Donna presented us with a beautiful gift that was fitting for our anniversary. If you are staying on Kauai, in Princeville, you would be remiss if you didn't book this location. As much as I love this house, I am hesitant to recommend it....I'm worried it won't be available the next time we want to visit!!! Seriously though, this place is a "10" and you and your family will love it!!!

We really enjoyed our stay - everything was as advertised and lived up to all the previous positive reviews. Right across the street from the ocean with spectacular views of the beginning of the Na Pali coastline at sunset. I went with my two teenage children and the accommodations were terrific for our family - having bedrooms downstairs and main living area upstairs made it really flexible with different sleep/wake schedules and to spread out at times. The house and kitchen was well stocked with lots available to use at the beach - we'll definitely be back!

My husband and I were MORE than delighted with this property. It wasn't just a rental, it was a home with heart and soul. The owners really care about the renters and you feel it as soon as you arrive. Of course its in paradise, but it was more! The views are amazing, the location is 360 degree spectacular . We were blessed, absolutely blessed to find this place. Lovely, lovely, comfortable beds, great kitchen. Couldn't have been a better experience!! The Hills

Gorgeous location and close to everything! We Spent our days swimming with the sea turtles, stand-up paddle boarding, morning walks through Princeville to St. Regis to take in cliff views, and visiting the charming town of Hanalei with its great restaurants and boutiques. At the end of the day we all enjoyed returning to this wonderful villa to relax and cook a fresh fish dinner purchased from Dolphin Fish Market only minutes away. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook several fabulous meals! Can't rave enough about this property! We will return!!
