This spacious, newly renovated second floor unit provides unique, breathtaking views of South Pacific against the backdrop of mesmerizing, romantic sunsets behind Bali' Hai' from your front porch.

The rear balcony offers equally spectacular views of Hanalei Bay, with waterfalls gently cascading into the green lush rainforest of the world famous Na Pali Coast. Because you are above the tall tree tops, you get the sense that you are in your very own Tree House! It is the perfect place for a romantic Honeymoon, family vacation, or just a special get-away. Literally, across the street, is the perfect location to catch the seasonal whale migration and the big surf of Kauai's famed North Shore. You can take one of three paths to three different Beaches, including Hideaways Beach, Secret Beach, or the beach at Hanalei Bay at the base of The St. Regis Hotel. All offer safe snorkeling areas where you can enjoy colorful marine life with complimentary snorkel gear provided with the studio apartment. Beach chairs and beach towels are also provided to our guests. There is free off street parking steps from the front door. There is also free Wi-Fi and landline long distance telephone service to the US Mainland and Canada. There is a cable HDTV, DVD player, and CD player.

This unit has recently been completely renovated with the assistance of a professional decorator and designer to give it that genuine old Hawaiian look that is clean and inviting. The 20' ceilings give a sense of spacious openness typical of traditional Polynesian homes. My most recent addition is a brand new 14" Plush Pillow Top Queen Mattress, with 4" of Pillow Top for a well-deserved good night's sleep after a day of island activities. I have also added a new powerful 15,000 BTU window A/C unit for those rare warm days.

The studio has a kitchenette with a Wet Bar and a full-size refrigerator/freezer, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, a 12-cup coffee pot, an Air Fryer, Crock Pot, blender, toaster, and place settings for four guests. However, please note that there is NO OVEN or STOVE TOP. The unit is designed primarily for heating up leftovers and light snacks. If you run a Google Search of this address (5301 Ka Haku Road, Princeville), it will display Side 1 only (which has a Full Kitchen). That is VRBO Property # 253851. Google will not display THIS Side 2 of the duplex. So, please do NOT rely upon a Google Search for this unit since Google cannot distinguish between Side 1 and Side 2. I mention this to avoid any confusion.

For the convenience of guest staying several days, I recently installed a small combo washer/dryer unit in the bathroom closet. It is designed for light loads only, and is quiet and clean. Because it is NOT vented, please allow anywhere between 2 to 3 hours drying time. You can set it for Wash Cycle AND Dry Cycle at one time, and simply leave for the day as it will automatically switch from "Wash" to "Dry" on its own. An Instructional Sheet is taped to the top of the unit itself.

The bathroom has also been completely modernized with new granite tile, cabinetry, granite counter tops, and a vessel sink. A hair dryer, iron, and ironing board is also provided.

This unit sleeps up to four guests with a queen bed (with the new pillow top mattress) and a queen Futon couch. The unit has a window AC unit as well as two new remote control ceiling fans for those rare warm days.

Do you need more room? Please see my HomeAway Property #253851 for Side 1 of this duplex which can sleep an additional six guests. Side 1 is a larger unit with a loft. It has a FULL kitchen has been recently remodeled with all new modern major appliances, cabinets, granite counter tops, deep well sink with a garbage disposal, and other convenient amenities. The kitchen is fully equipped to prepare meals. There is a new stackable washer/dryer behind closed doors.

That unit (Side 1) sleeps up to six guests with a king bed, a queen sleeper sofa, and two twin beds in the loft area which is easily accessible with a newly designed staircase. The unit has window AC unit as well as two new remote control ceiling fans for those rare warm days. Side 1 rents for $ 235.00 per night, plus applicable tax of 13.42% and a Maid Service Cleaning fee of $175.00.

You can rent just one side or both, depending on the number of guest in your party.

Gentle, cool trade winds off the South Pacific, complimented with your private views of the Mountains, Bali’ Hai’, and Hanalei Bay will leave you with lasting memories of The Garden Isle. Come and allow yourself to be pampered in what is truly Paradise.

As a seasoned traveler myself, the condo has been specially appointed with every amenity and convenience to make your vacation truly stress free. No unnecessary trips to the store to buy things for your stay. All is provided, just bring your sunscreen and Mai Tai mix.

Of the dozens of countries and hundreds of towns and villages I have traveled to in the world, none compares to the sheer natural beauty of the North Shore of Kauai. Come to relax…and be pampered…you deserve it! Registration Number: GE-172-441-1986-02, TA-148-721-9240-13

Location was great and check in/out was easy, but the lack of cleanliness made the stay uncomfortable. Bathroom rug had lots of hair and dirt on it, obviously hadn't been washed in a while. Bathroom sink had what looked to be spit around the edges (wiped off so not hard water stains). Washer/dryer was broken. Air conditioner was filthy and ran loudly (probably due to that). Plastic shower curtain hadn't been cleaned or replaced in quite some time. Won't be recommending or returning.

It was a short stay but this property and location in Princeville was perfect for us celebrating our honeymoon. There was only one occasion in which the “permit” spaces in the parking lot were all taken, but it wasn’t a big deal because we weren’t there long. I loved the walking distance to Hideaways Beach, a must-do! So beautiful for sunset, not packed, and we saw sea turtles snorkeling there! The condo had everything we needed minus a working washer/dryer, but it was ok since we were there a short time. The views from the lanai are beautiful and relaxing. I would recommend this property and stay here again!

This is a very comfortable rental in an excellent location...near a few amazing beaches within walking distance. Lovely treetop view from the back balcony.

We felt right at home in this apartment. Comfy bed, cool enough at night to not need to run the AC and plenty of beach equip to use. My favorite thing was hearing the birds wake up in the forested jungle that the balcony overlooks - right at sunrise there is an explosion of bird songs that is so beautiful to hear. It was my 20 minutes of morning meditation each day. And there is a nice view of Hanalei bay off to the side. You can also walk across the street and watch the sunset with everyone else staying in the condos!

The property was so much more than expected from the photos. The photos just don't do it justice! There are no lights out in that area and walking down the street at night over looking the waters was purely magical. I loved all the details that went into making this stay perfect. The laundry soap, the beach towels, the beach equipment. Thank you for making this. I'm most memorable and wonderful experience

The pictures in the listing don’t do this place justice. We loved sitting on the back porch in the evenings with the birds chirping and the sound of the water. Right out front is the ocean. We were such an easy walk to Hideaways Beach and loved going to 1 Hanalei Resort for coffee with an amazing view. Also super easy walk to the golf course where we visited a weekly market and saw live music. Caught the shuttle to Ha’Ena Park right there as well. Loved the snorkel gear available; we took this down to Puu Poa Beach and saw amazing fish in the reefs!

Really enjoyed our stay here! Great location in Princeville, which made it convenient to get to the local shops and restaurants and also Hanalei Bay. Clean, quiet and comfortable. Boogie boards were great to have provided for us! Would stay here again!

Enjoyed our stay. Loved having a washer/dryer combo. The bed is a memory foam mattress and the couch is a futon for additional sleeping. The owner has a lot of beach supplies available for your use!

The stay was incredible. We arrived late at night so we didn't see much on the way in. Our first morning we woke up to a beautiful sunny day in princeville, walking to coffee and down to the beach before exploring the island more. The location was very convenient as we spent a significant amount of time in Hanalei and exploring the north shore. Beautiful area and very clean and convenient room. Jim was responsive and helpful to all our inquiries and requests. The room seemed bigger in person than in photos. Would definitely recommend this place in the future.

Nice property close to the hideaway beach. It took a minute for us to find but once you figure out where and how to operate the lockbox it was fine. The host was kind about check out time since our taxi couldn’t come for a hour. Overall, a nice stay.

We loved the property. The views from the front and the rear balcony were breathtaking!. I miss it already!! It was in excellent proximity to everything you want to see in the northern area of Kauai. Communication was great with Jim, the owner. As described in the listing, it did not have a stove or oven but we knew that ahead of time. We were able to eat breakfast there, packed some lunches for our hiking and beach days and ate our dinners out at great restaurants. We would definitely stay here again if we are lucky enough to return to beautiful Kauai!

We stayed 3 nights in this Princeville condo in April; it was clean, very quiet, comfortable bed, kitchenette with all we needed, washer/dryer very handy. Excellent directions in email made accessing the keys and moving in a breeze! Great location within 10 minutes of both Hanalei and Kilauea restaurants and shops, and close to shuttle to Napali coast. Highly recommend!

The property was very nice. It was just me and I loved sitting on the lanai each morning watching the sun rise. You are right across from the lookout to watch the sunset. The bed was comfy. Only downside is road noise but it knew that going into it. Great place to stay!

Great location for exploring the northern part of Kauai with amazing beaches!!!…nicely done unit with good size refrigerator washer dryer which we did not use and ac which we did not usemuch at all…just open the windows and saves energy…Jim is very responsive…covenient stores for daily needs nearby but expensive….would recommend stopping at Walmart (Lihue)for groceries/basic needs prior to coming if you plan in staying for 3-5 days …a week or more …friendly people around and nice walking paths nearby…Futon was comfortable…my son likes it…just need to add two more pillows would just be perfect and paint the rusty looking sliding door (bottom part) at the bathroom will do the job…highly recommend your place Jim…Mahalo!

Upscale and beautiful. Downside was finding someone using my parking spot, and the costly cleaning fee

October 2023
Partner and I just finished up a stay here and the space of the property was perfect for us (we spent most days out and only really used the unit to have breakfast/sleep). The view from the lanai was amazing and being so close to beaches was awesome. Only two pain points: There was never any parking when we got back to the unit, and there were A LOT of rules. Unit 1 has dedicated parking, Unit 2 (ours) has a ‘permit’ to park in permit spots. We didn’t realize that if there was no ‘permit’ spots you were pretty much screwed. We got back late most nights and there were some really sus people parked in the “permit” spaces/making little camps around their cars so we had to find random places to park and worried about our rental constantly. Partner woke up early each day to move our rental into a permit spot before we headed out for the day. The cleaning rules were a lot for being charged a cleaning fee. When we got to the rental there were some dirty things (hair stuck to the closet mirror in the bathroom, cups weren’t clean, etc.) and we were surprised to be responsible for cleaning the toilets for the cleaning people, washing the towels, ensuring no sand, etc. before leaving. Never been so stressed at checkout to make sure all the rules were followed... we actually didn’t use some of the amenities so we didn’t have to spend extra time cleaning. Overall great place, just leave time to clean and be comfy with inconsistent/spotty parking.

The place was as described, very clean and had sufficient indoor amenities. Communication with the owner was difficult as he was in Baltimore MD (7 hours difference). There was a person identified as the local property manager who was COMPLETELY non responsive. The parking arrangements were not clear - unknown to us when we arrived at 7:30 pm there are 2 Apartment at the same address. The other apartment had a marked parking spot, but our apartment had to park in a general parking spot. Not knowing this We parked in the spot dedicated to the address. The people staying in the other apartment knocked on our door and asked us to move. I called & texted the “on site” contact person to get guidance (she never got back with me) . We figured it ourselves. The beach chairs were old, rusted and broken. While the furnishings were nice, it was apparent that the bathroom was very old - extensive rust on the shower curtain rod & sliding door runners. The glass bowl sink was corroded at the bottom. We only used it to brush our teeth and shaving. On the 3rd day we went to the beach, returned to find the glass bowl sink had shattered sending glass shards everywhere. We promptly checked out the next day.

Very nice and well located. Great view of the mountain. Very close to Hanalei beach.

We enjoyed our stay very much. We understood that it was a studio, but it had mostly everything we needed. Our only real complaint was the policy of having to wash the towels before we left. This is impossible since the wash/dry cycle is so terribly long. We had to go to a laundromat 30 minutes away in order to comply with this rule. We've rented vrbo homes many times & have never had to wash our towels before check out. We would have appreciated at least a small cooler for the beach and an extra set of beach towels, but the nice, new set of snorkel equipment was great! All in all, it was a good place!


Gilbert C.

Condo not as described. Much worse condition that what we expected including cleanliness. Nothing to cook on in kitchen. If you google the address they give you, the description comes up differant than the actual condo. You will be very disappointed with this place.

We had detailed instructions for retrieving keys, however difficulties with opening the lock box. Great view, especially sunset from across the street. We were disappointed with the “kitchen “. Almost total lack of counter/prep space. There are 3 drawers, one has silverware, the other two have cleaning supplies and a dish drying rack. NO dishwasher. The coffee pots sit on a shelf and have to be plugged in on the counter top. There is no cabinet, only a shelf with plates, glasses (plastic), coffee pots and a toaster. There is an air fryer, but according to the instructions, required silicon inserts are missing. There are two plastic chairs without any available cushions and a small side table on the lanai. Not suitable for eating a meal. Best room is the bathroom, nice cabinet and more counter space than in the kitchen. Nice shower. The pictures still show the old sofa and chair as well as the new one that does not include a chair of any kind. We found them to somewhat uncomfortable.

Same as another reviewer - I was comparing multiple units with a kitchen/kitchenette, and assumed there would at least be a hot plate. There is a rice cooker but it wasn't working. Because there are very few restaurants in the area this makes it better for shorter stays. I think a single hot plate would make a big difference. I appreciated the snorkeling equipment on the balcony, although make sure to check the masks and fins before heading out - there were a few broken fins and masks. Other than that this was a great place to stay and we enjoyed our time!

We didn’t realize until arriving that this property didn’t have cooking facilities. Also, the beach/snorkeling equipment that was provided was in pretty bad shape. Fortunately, we had our own snorkeling equipment, but would have been hurting if we had planned on using what was promised.

We were blessed with a week here during unusually perfect weather for the season. Tunnels and Ha'ena were calm and sunny for a couple of days in a row, making for great snorkeling. Hanalei is 15 mins, Tunnels is 20-25 mins, and Kapaa is 30-35 mins. The unit was exactly as advertised: very clean and equipped with more than enough kitchen appliances to make basic meals. We used the mini-air-fryer to "hard boil" a bunch of eggs and cook up a pack of bacon for on-the-go breakfasts, along with the pre-stocked coffee (choice of two coffee makers). The mini-crockpot slow-cooked chicken dinner for us while we were out and about during the day. The blender was great for afternoon smoothies using frozen fruit and yogurt. Then the air fryer came through again for cooking steaks, egg rolls, and the like. This was great for us since we tend to eat most meals at home due to a fair number of food restrictions. The well-stocked bathroom has a nice rainfall showerhead, fluffy towels, shampoo, soap, etc. The snorkel gear and boogie boards were appreciated, as was the small combo-WD for the mid-week wardrobe refresh. The view out back is a stand of green bushes and trees, with the Kauai cliffs in the background, and a slice of the bay visible over the railing. From the mini-park out front (across the street) is a fantastic view of the bay, where sunset-watchers gather nightly. With mostly quiet neighbors and easy parking, this isn't a fancy place but it's comfy, clean, and priced just right.

Studio sized, good bed and shower. A refrigerator, but no way to prepare a hot meal. Poor small microwave, minimum dishes and silverware, and two cheesy plastic! wine glasses. Uncomfortable sofa and no chairs beyond the table chairs. A tough place to stay beyond a day or two.

This condo is well suited to singles or couples who don’t need the stay-in full-service resort experience. Great views of the mountains from the rear balcony and across the road is a great view of the water. Good pizza bar across the road.

This property was absolutely wonderful! It had everything we could want or need, including a washer/dryer, AC, easy to find parking, and it's located in one of our favorite places on Kauai. The view from the deck is so beautiful and it's a very short walk to a beautiful sunset lookout over the ocean. North Shore Kauai is the most beautiful place I have ever seen, so it feels like a dream being able to stay somewhere so breathtaking. The room itself is also amazing! The bed is super comfortable; the washer/dryer take quite awhile, but they get the clothes clean; there's a large fridge/freezer; the shower is really nice; there's some beach gear; and the AC does a great job of keeping the room cool. We LOVED this room and would be thrilled to stay here again some day. One negative is that you can hear the people next door sometimes and the front door is very loud, but it wasn't too much of an issue. I highly recommend staying here for your vacation!

We had a wonderful weekend on beautiful Kauai. The condo was as advertised. Great location and very clean. My only suggestion would be to fix the outside lock as the inside door had a flimsy lock so you are at the mercy of the other unit to keep doors closed and locked. But I would definitely visit and stay here again if I am fortunate enough to be able to return! Thank you!



August 2022
Good walking area by site. No cooking allowed in room other than with a microwave. Small kitchenette. Expectation that all towels be washed prior to departure difficult. It takes a minimum of 2 hours per load. Didn’t want to spend vacation time doing cleaning that were charged for.

August 2022
This place was perfect for our needs! My husband and I loved the back lanai for coffee in the morning (shared lanai with neighbor but it felt private since the neighbors never were out there at the same time). We also loved the beach chairs and being able to walk to Wyllie Beach and Queens Bath from the unit. The sunset across the street overlooking Hanalei bay is breathtaking. Bed was comfortable and AC worked well. Overall, great place and highly recommend! Hope to be back again someday!

The apartment is on the smaller side and I’m need of some updating, but it is more than adequate. Location is quite good with easy access to nearby beach and wonderful views. It would have been nice to have had the ability to cook something, but it was fine for a short stay.

The unit is in a great neighborhood. It’s right next to a golf club and there’re pedestrian walkways so made it easy for walking and scenic viewing. The unit faced sea on one side, and valley on the other side. It’s close to the town and north shore attractions. Kauai is a very wet island. You may feel humid when you just walk in the unit. But after you open all the windows for a bit, it will be just fine. During our visit in end of June, we didn’t need AC at all. Small washer is a must have for beach vacation. We didn’t use the dryer feature as we couldn’t wait for 2 hour cycle. Instead, we hang clothing in the unit and it worked out.

We had an amazing time staying here. The location was perfect and we were able to get wherever we needed easily from here. We were comfortable in the room and loved that there was some gear already available so we didn’t have to rent anything. The neighbors were friendly, the beaches nearby were a great introduction to Kauai.

The view from the back Lanai with the mountains and hanalei bay was unbeatable. Being able to watch the sunset right across the street was a nightly thing for us. It was so helpful having a washer. The unit was clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed staying here and would highly recommend to others as well.

This condo is near the end of the Princeville area near a great vantage point for viewing whales and sunsets. It was small, but comfortable for 2 adults. Management and Owner were very helpful. The only downside was there is no stove/oven. I would stay here again, due to the great location and reasonable cost.

If you’re looking for a great location when it comes to seeing Princeville, this place is perfect! It was walking distance to both Queen’s Bath and Hideaways Beach, which are both fantastic. It’s certainly not the type rental you want to spend a lot of time inside as it’s pretty small (a studio) but as a place to sleep and get ready, it’s great!

This property is beautiful. It is spacious, and then window AC unit makes it extremely comfortable. The proximity to beach access, Queen Anne’s Bath are superb. Also the beautiful lookout across the street has in my opinion some of the best views on the whole island. The proximity to the Hanalei and to the Napali coast can not be beat. Communication with the owner of this property was beyond excellent. We originally rented this condo last year and then Covid hit. Jim the owner of this condo helped us navigate how to change our trip we because of Covid. Any questions we had prior to the trip or during the trip were answered immediately. Looking for A great place on the north shore? Book this!!!

Our stay could not have been more pleasant. The treetop view from 219A is fabulous as is the sunset spot across the road. We oohed and aahed over the lingering sunset and then crossed the road and we were home. Hideaways beach was spectacular—the climb down and up is intimidating and anyone with mobility problems should not bank on this beach. The beach, also beautiful, in front of the St Regis hotel is also a climb but made much more accessible by a concrete path. These were our two walking beaches. Hanalei Bay and Anini Beach are short drives away and each is well worth a visit. Snorkeling was the best at Hideaways beach. Foodland is a short drive or longish walk but convenient. The studio itself was immaculate. No grungy cutlery here. We self catered just fine in the kitchenette. Who goes on vacation to cook anyway? Bed was super comfortable. Guests share a long balcony, so this unit and the one next door would be perfect for two families vacationing together. Kaua’i friendliness and respect for quiet nature is catchy so you should not have problems with neighbors. Napali Coast boat tours are a must—we did the zodiac, not for the faint of heart. Waimea Canyon was stunning. but we did not do any of the hikes our Shaka tour guide, a gps app with informative commentary, mentioned. Another time. We will be sorry to leave but would not hesitate to book here again. Thank you for your hospitality. Mahalo!

If you are thinking about booking this apartment, do it!!! The pictures on the posting really do not do it justice. The back porch has an insane view of Hanalei Bay (seriously, I even posted a picture from the porch and got many replies saying it didn't even look real/looked like a painting) and the front yard is the ocean!! Another plus was the Princeville Resort is literally right down the street. We walked there in 5-10 minutes for our breakfast one morning and the walk is also beautiful. We also walked to Queen's Bath from the apt, it took us about 15 minutes to get to the trail head, which was nice because parking is limited there as it is in a residential area. We hung out in the town of Hanalei a lot which is a 10 min drive. As for the apartment itself, the bed was super comfortable & we utilized the washer and dryer once. It was raining most of our stay so we didn't use them, but there was plenty of beach gear available should you need it. Had everything we needed. The only thing I would point out is there is no stove, only a microwave. We knew this while booking and did not bother us as we intended to eat out/snack but just be aware in case cooking is something you are wanting to do.

This studio is an excellent spot to stay on Kauai’s north shore. Walking distance to the best beaches in Princeville, front yard that draws a crowd every evening at sunset, and all the necessities provided.

Our expectations were exceeded with the lovely studio condo. It was situated a just across from the ocean bluffs and with a short walk to Hideaways Beach. You could also easily get to Queen's Bath (Closed during heavy surf/Winter as during our stay) or to the St. Regis beach. It was a tidy economical studio/condo, very clean and well maintained. Nothing fancy but recently updated. Back deck partially overlooked the bay/mountains and you could just see the ocean through the front 'windows'. Even from looking at other rentals in the area we thought we got a great place in terms of price and location.

We loved our short stay in Princeville. Great view from the patio and good location with many popular beaches/sites in walking distance. The kitchenette has all the basics you need for homemade breakfast and some more. Would definitely come here again! My boyfriend thought the master bed was too soft for his taste but I had no problem with it.


Sharon W.

Staying here was a treat! Seriously the views of Hanalei Bay from the back deck didn't even look real. Directly across the street from the front door was one of the best viewing areas of the northern shore. The condo had everything you needed. The kitchen is abbreviated, but had all that we needed during our stay. I would certainly return! Thanks Jim!

I can't imagine picking a better rental in terms of both location and hospitality of the host. This was my first time using any vacation rental website and Jim made sure the process went very smoothly down to personalized notes for suggested activities and restaurants in the area. The location is ideal for anyone seeking some peace and quiet as it is separated enough from the airport and general hustle and bustle of the Lihue area. The deck has unobstructed views of both Hanalei Bay and the mountain peaks with their dozens of waterfalls spilling in the distance. Less than 100 yards from the front door is a beautiful park area that offers an amazing view of the sun setting on the most northern tip of the Hawaiian Islands. The living space itself was immaculately kept and included pleasant perks such as beach chairs, towels, full sets of cutlery, detergent for the washing machine, sunblock, additional pillows, multiple sets of snorkeling gear, island guidebooks, and even a subscription to additional channels that come with the cable tv sports package. Ultimately, I would this unit again without hesitation. My only word of advice would be to, first, determine how long you would like to stay in Princeville, then double it. Even then you will not be ready to leave paradise.

The property was great for our needs. We were out and about a lot hiking and on the beaches. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was perfect size. The balcony was fantastic with awesome scenery and nature sounds of birds. The open area immediately across from the condo was a great place to watch sunrises, sunsets and look at the stars. I had a couple of questions for Jim and he was very quick to respond. Cathy was also wonderful who helps with the upkeep and cleans, she was very informative and helpful. Having the washer/dryer combo was exactly what we needed. We'd be back in a heartbeat and maybe check out the larger property right next to this one next time! Overall fantastic stay!

This vacation rental was incredible. I do not even have 1 complaint. It is comfortable, safe, well maintained, clean, in a great neighborhood (Princeville), and includes a welcome basket (much needed after a long flight) and an incredible view. To top all of that off, Jim was so nice and helpful. He answers very quickly, gives you great tips on vacationing on the island, and couldn't be nicer. If I am ever lucky enough to make it back to this paradise called Kauai, I will be staying here again.

Nice little rental! The entry is a little confusing at first but once that is figure out it was great. The location though can’t be beat. Right across the street from a fantastic sunset viewing spot, Secret Beach, and Queens Pool. We loved it and will definitely be back.
