Best location on island. Walking distance to Hideaway beach. Two balconies with amazing views of jungle and Hanalei Bay. Spacious condo for 4 people. Wish the golf maintenance started a little later, but other than that it was a great place to spend your vacation! Very private and felt safe.

This property has it all - prime location, multiple bedrooms and baths, well stocked kitchen, parking, washer/dryer, and it was clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated (all the charging stations for our devices were very much appreciated!). Thank you very much for such a pleasant stay!

This property was wonderful. Great location and really clean and beautiful. I would say the only thing that would make it better would be more fans in the upstairs. It would get a little warm in the late after noon/ evening. We will definitely go back!

Look no further, it doesn’t get any better than this. Perfectly located at a sunset overlook of the ocean and the mountains. The cleanest rental ever. Renovated to perfection. Everything you could need and more. 3 wonderful fans in each room and the amazing breeze keeps you cool. Easy checkin and check out. Wonderful location to all Princeville has to offer. Would 100% stay here again.

Had an amazing time staying in Villa 22! Amazing views of the golf course with a sneak view on Hanalei Bay and the Mountains. Great location near Queens Bath and Hideaway Beach. Great communication with host. Villa has everything you need and super clean.

I stayed here with my family (3 teens) in June and the location was fantastic. We had a few maintenance issues that we had to live with for a couple days until they could be fixed (handle fell off kitchen faucet, toilet flush handle broke, and living room TV had to be replaced). That was unfortunate. Villa only had 1 bath towel for each person and 1 packet of laundry detergent. This unit needs a deep cleaning, touch up paint, new mattresses and pillows, and extra linens.

This cozy place is in a lovely location with amazing views from the lanais. There are many amenities like beach chairs and umbrellas. If it had been properly advertised I think this would be a 5 star stay, but looking at the listing again it seems a bit misleading.
The floor plan was unclear. There are 2 floors, you enter on the 2nd floor. All showers and bedrooms are down the stairs. Anyone with mobility issues should not stay as the stairs were required for all daily living.
The AC was not as expected. There are several in-room units (not pictured online, but taking up space in reality) and one in-wall AC in the upstairs living area. As all of them sit inside the house, it is extremely loud when running. It was manageable to turn them off and use them periodically at 76 for us, but someone expecting a consistent, cool temperature and low noise would be disappointed. There are also signs indicating that excessive use (below 68) monitored through electric usage will incur fines. The washer and dryer are also loud.
The 3rd bedroom with "two double sofa beds" does have 2 sofa beds, one is an ottoman and one is from the loveseat, but they are twin sized which is misrepresented in the “Rooms and Beds” section. The room is also too small to have both open and have space to get into the beds or have any bags inside.
Reviews also state a short easy walk to the beach, but it is a rather steep climb down the cliff or a slightly less steep paved walk using hotel access.

The home where we stayed was across the street from a wonderful spot to watch the sunset. We had a lovely chorus of birds that sang to us every morning in the grove between the house and the golf course.

We loved our stay here! The location was perfect and walking distance to the beach. It’s near a golf course and has nice sidewalks to go on runs. The views of the mountains from the porch was our favorite part. I would stay here again

The online pictures of the view do not do it justice. I may have overlooked it on the website, but was amazed to discover that we were a very short walk to the "1 Hotel". Unbelievable. We really enjoyed checking it out; beach, bar, coffee bar, etc. The house was fantastic. Coming from Texas we had concerns about no A.C., but it was a non-issue. Highly Recommend.

Just as the photos show. 10 min walk to the newly remodeled One Hotel Hanalei with incredible views and expensive but delicious food. Right across the street from incredible sunsets that can be seen from the condo. 20 min walk to Princeville shops and restaurants and grocery. The north shore of Kauai is much more damp than the south shore and the bottom level of this condo is damp. It has a musty smell but the many fans and open windows take it away. Your clothes and the sheets literally feel wet when you get in them. This is normal for Kauai. This condo is a paradise found and we will return.

The location of this condo is perfect. Walking to beaches, across street from Princeville’s best sunset photo op. The condo was spotless, beautifully remodeled, breezy, and excellently equipped with kitchen and beach needs. Conveniently located to stores and restaurants. Parking close to front door. We will come back!!

We enjoyed the villa for a change of pace. We usually stay ocean side and view the waters. I do prefer listening to the ocean. The golf course had some noise with sprinklers and birds. Overall, the villa was awesome and spacious.

The views from the house are stunning; both the ocean and mountains are in full view. It was wonderful starting our day by eating breakfast on the deck, then star gazing at night. I found the north shore to be the prettiest part of the island.

This property is ideally located for north island visits to Hanalei and the Napali coast. Although we had a good deal of rain during our April stay, we trekked to the south side of Kauia for sun, beach time, and a Waimea Canyon visit. This cottage was ideal for our party of four with space for privacy, cooking our own meals, and enjoying time on the lanai.

Not the best in terms of villa. Black mold on deck so we never experienced it, that is why we decided to select it. Very musty smell inside, and dead bugs on window sills, as well as a small lizard was inside the house. keylock is fair, having to move to parking chain and cones was a hassle. I realize its a beautiful lush rainy island, and some things are expected but seems they can clean much better, or no one was even there for a few days. p.s. lighting in living room was not the best (dark) It was NOT a good overall experience. Incredibly hot place as NO AC. Fans provided but didn't do it justice and you had to bring them up from downstairs. Perhaps if we had been warned of some of this.

Our stay at the Hanalei Bay Villas was exceptional. The property was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed: beach towels & chairs, kitchen equipment, good quality bath supplies, etc. The view of the mountains and golf course were beautiful. The location was great, with very nice walking paths nearby and close to shopping and beaches. The rental folks were very responsive and easy to communicate with. A great base camp for Northshore of Kauai adventures.

Amazing view, beautiful accomodations, awesome landlord. We enjoyed every minute of our stay! Coffee on the deck while enjoying an amazing view, sweet smells, bird songs, and ocean sound. Home was well stocked, kitchen, laundry, beach supplies etc... Beautiful neighborhood, just can't say enough about our stay. We hated to leave. Lori, communicated checkin process and gave us some suggestions on local sites and eats. She made sure I had her cell and email for any questions or issues. Our only issue was we found it very hard to leave...we loved it here!

Villa was perfect accommodations for our family of 6. Location is outstanding with great views of the mountains beyond hanalei from the back and Hideaways beach is steps from the front door. We are partial to the North shore and you can get everywhere easily from this location. Having beach chairs provided and a very short (but steep) walk to hideaways was the best part—along with amazing views from the villa. Kitchen was well equipped, ocean breezes moving through the villa kept it comfortable the whole time. We enjoyed our stay here very much and would stay again.

We thoroughly enjoyed the view from the balcony and listening to so many birds in the area. The accommodation was perfect for our needs. The only suggestion would be the dining table, we would have preferred a normal height table and not a higher table requiring bar stools which were very uncomfortable. We brought the table in from the balcony when the rain was blowing in so we could use it instead. Otherwise we loved the place and others would find the table great.

The views were just what I hoped and the home was very well furnished. But one reason I stayed there was the advertised location as being next to the 1 Hotel. I was looking forward to walking over there to dine a few times. But for some reason the hotel was not available to the public. Security did not allow me entrance. I verified their policy with the front desk. They were allowing entrance at a later date but after my departure from Kauai. Had I known this was going to happen, I might now had stayed here.

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!

Loved our stay at HBV. The location was perfect - gorgeous mountain and waterfall views off the primary bedroom and living room balconies (with tropical bird visitors every morning), ocean views from the breakfast nook, and across the street from a lookout to Makana. Hideaways Beach and the 1 Hotel Hanalei beach were close too. We were appreciative of the liquid hand soaps in every bathroom, generous samples of shampoo, conditioner, lotion and shower gel too. Having a washer and dryer in the unit was key - extra bonus for the detergent pods in the unit for us to use. We also made use of the beach chair with backpack straps and took it to the beach with us several times. Unit was clean but could use a deeper cleaning (floor while swept needs a good scrub as do the stair rails, curtains need a freshen up). We know to expect bugs in Hawaii, so we kept the kitchen clean and everything in the fridge, but ants were frequently in and around the sink whenever we returned. Just something for future tenants to be aware of. We found the unit perfect for our needs and couldn’t get over the location - we’ve been to Princeville/Hanalei many times before and think this is our favorite property yet! Mahalo!

Well presented open plan main floor with patio that overlooks Makai golf course. Downstairs has two bedrooms and two bathrooms along with laundry area. All well maintained and clean.
Dealing with property manager was exceptional and was very responsive to texts.

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!

Everything was easy and as advertised. Perfect private location. Lanai views were a 10. Easy walk to the beach. Everything we needed at the condo for relaxing, cooking, and going to the beach. Perfect Home base on the North Shore. Fun to take a 5 minute walk to 1 Hanalei hotel for sunset viewing and drinks at the Hotel bar terrace.

This has to be one of the best equipped rental properties we have ever stayed at. Truly felt like you were in a home away from home. The location was also great - especially for viewing sunsets and the birds and greenery off the back of the property. The stay was just perfect!

The cottage was perfect for my son and I. I was so comfortable and love everyminute of my stay. I arrived in the dark and had a bit of trouble seeing the house number and I ended up in the wrong parking spot because that was also hard to see in the dark. Other than that I have absolutely no complaints.
