Summary:
Wake to a wide North Shore ocean view, make breakfast at home, and watch the light move across the Pacific from your furnished lanai. Alii Kai Resort #5102, an upgraded condo, sleeps three in one bedroom with two baths, a full kitchen, fast WiFi, and a queen sofa bed in the living room. Spend a quiet morning on the grounds, take a dip in the shared outdoor pool, or play tennis before heading out to Princeville's beaches. In season, the lanai is a lovely place to look for whales offshore. Hanalei's bay, restaurants, and shops are down the hill, while Anini Beach is a nearby option for calmer reef-protected water. This is a comfortable fit for a couple or small family who wants Kauai's north shore views without giving up the ease of a real kitchen and room to exhale.

The Space:
The living area is bright and open to the view, with a built-in desk, comfortable seating, and a queen sofa bed for the third guest. The kitchen has stainless appliances, granite counters, seating for two, and a dining table for four. One bedroom and two baths make the layout easy for a couple or small family, while the furnished lanai is where you will want morning coffee and an eye on the ocean.

Guest Access:
Guests at Alii Kai Resort enjoy access to the shared outdoor pool, garden areas, BBQ grill, and oceanfront resort grounds along Kauai’s north shore in Princeville. Outdoor seating areas and a lit path to the entrance add convenience, while some resort facilities are operated independently by the resort.

The Neighborhood:
Princeville is Kauai's clifftop North Shore community, known for ocean views, tropical greenery, and convenient access to Hanalei. Princeville Center covers the practical things with groceries and casual food, while Hanalei town offers beach time, shops, and a more local day out. Anini Beach is nearby for calm, reef-protected water, and the area has coastal viewpoints and trails when you want to move beyond the sand. Choose Princeville for a quieter home base where you can see the island's lush side each time you look outside.

Getting Around:
Lihue Airport is about 40 minutes away via a scenic drive along Kauai's coast. A rental car is highly recommended since the North Shore's beaches, restaurants, and Hanalei's shops are spread out. Princeville itself offers walkable access to some shops and dining, while beaches like Hanalei Bay are a short drive. Parking is typically available in lots or driveways at most properties.

Other Things to Note:
• Free high-speed WiFi • Queen-size sofabed in the living area. • Beach towels, chairs, and umbrella provided • TV streaming services require guest accounts to access • Snowbird-friendly • This property is managed by Heavenly Vacations. • All guests shall abide by Heavenly's good neighbor policy and shall not engage in illegal activity. • Quiet hours are from 10:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m.

The location was nice. The views were excellent. The Condo was furnished nicely and the bed was comfortable. The complex was quiet and private. There is no air conditioning but the windows and doors open and have screens.

Property was as advertised. Clean, comfortable and had everything needed to be home away from home. Location was great - close to shopping and restaurants. Community amenities were accessible and clean. Would definitely recommend to other and would stay here again.

The listing made no mention that the unit doesn't have AC, as some one whom suffers from outdoor allergens this was a serious problem. GPS doesn't have the correct location for the unit, it puts you about 2 blocks away. The listing also doesn't mention the stairs, you would assume if the beach is right out the back door it would be ground level, well it is but the parking lot is not, you have to go down a flight of stairs to get to this unit. We found a few live roaches. The sliding screen door doesn't work properly and untracks often when trying to open or close it. There is not screen for the front door, which opening that door allowed for the breeze to flow in, to cool the place. The fees on this unit are ridiculous all things considered. It is pimped out by a third party property manager (Vacasa), they are over charging for the property and it's condition. I'm very disappointed and feel like I got cheated

Excellent location. Kind of messy in kitchen. Otherwise it was a wonderful stay.

Beautiful view and a very well-equipped apartment, but the neighbors upstairs were very loud, which was quite disturbing at night. A pity — otherwise, it would have been a perfect location.

The condo is very nice and spacious and has an incredible view. The management team was very helpful with questions we had. We would stay there again.

We have made multiple trips to Princeville over the years and have always stayed in building 5 at Alii Kai in Princeville. This trip was our first time staying in this particular unit, and we have decided it is our new favorite! All of the units in building 5 have spectacular views. Our preference is the be on the ground floor so we can walk straight out onto our lanai and also to the adirondack chairs on the grass. Compared to the other units we have rented in building 5, this one was the most updated, the cleanest, and the most well-stocked. At some point the second bedroom was eliminated in a remodel and the livingroom/sitting area was thus expanded. Unless you need a second bedroom, the extra livingroom space is very nice. I also appreciated the desk/work area, as I always travel with my laptop and it was nice to not have to set up my work area on the dining room table. The property management company was very responsive. We realized that there wasn't a toaster in the unit as there should have been. We reached out and a new toaster was delivered to our door that same day! The next time we visit Princeville, we'll definitely be staying in this unit.

The condo is nicely updated with contemporary furnishings. The views from the bedroom and living areas are stunning. The ocean facing backyard with the nenes and roosters was equally gorgeous. We even saw some whales while sitting on the backyard chairs. The huge shower in the en-suite bathroom was very therapeutic and relaxing. The condo was nicely stocked with beach gear and towels. The washer and dryer were sizable and convenient for laundering our swimsuits. One recommendation we have is to get rid of the glasses or kitchenware that are stained or worn. Overall, we had a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Insider tips

Good to know at Alii Kai

  • At low tide on calm mornings, take the steep trail from the resort down to Turtle Cove, where turtles often rest in a large sea cave and the snorkeling is superb.
  • From the cliff-top chairs nearby, watch for humpback whales December to April and Laysan albatross roughly November to July, with dolphins year-round and a starry sky after dark.
  • Around the lawns and paths, Hawaiian nene geese wander the grounds alongside the resident chickens, and kids tend to look forward to their daily visits.
