We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The villa is very close to the hideaway beach and excellent view of the ocean. Wendy was very good in accommodating our needs and was easy to reach out. The facilities inside the villa is “home away from home”. Thank you very much and we look forward to a repeat visit soon

We have used these types of Villas several times over the last decades, this is a very nice one and it has two single beds making it excellent for traveling with children. You can both see the ocean and waterfalls on the mountains from the house and we would like to come back.

We are a multi generational family and we so enjoyed the location at the Hanalei Bay Villa. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and there were many wonderful dining out options nearby. We enjoyed snorkeling at Anini Beach just a short drive away. The best part was the view from the porch any time of day. I highly recommend this beautiful place for families.

Perfect layout for our stay with 2 grandparents, 2 parents, and 2 kids under 10. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes but is pretty bare bones as far as spices/oil/etc so make sure you grab your own at the store : )

This rental exceeded our expectations! They had everything you needed, plus some! It was even better than the listing showed!

We had a wonderful week’s stay in this super well-equipped villa which has many more amenities than most vacation rentals we’ve visited in the islands over the years. It’s also situated in a fantastic, peaceful location which gives the feeling of being in the middle of the Kauai jungle, complete with wonderful bird song. In addition you have a beautiful view of the mountains and a lovely glimpse of Hanalei Bay in the distance. It’s also just across a small road from a popular gathering spot from which to see the perfect “Bali Hai” sunset view, and is walking distance to the gorgeous 1 Hotel, the (steep) trail down to Hideaways beach and Hideaways Pizza restaurant. The bathrooms are both newly remodeled, the kitchen was spacious and had everything we needed and the living/dining area were very comfortable. We spent most of our time on the decks to soak in that view and watch the rainbows and bird life. One caveat - you have to carry luggage down a steep flight of steps and up another one to enter the house, so just be aware!Our hosts Joe and Linda were communicative and helpful. We highly recommend this place for a real feel of the North Shore of Kauai.

Property has amazing views, well equipped kitchen, and plenty of room for a family.

Amazing layout and property. 2 full bathrooms is a must for families and 2 levels was a huge win. Cookware was more than most rental houses- very helpful! Main shower leaks/drips and should be fixed. Lots of dust and dead dried up bugs on counters and surfaces. Overall would come again if a tad bit cleaner.

We’ve never been so sad to leave a place. This 2 story modern home is set back from the road and you have it all to yourself. The second story deck is nestled in the trees where you can enjoy the sound of birds and a beautiful view of the mountains. It is a short walk to a secluded and private beach with wonderful snorkeling. Conveniently there is an hose near the front stairs where you can wash off sand.Across the street from the house you can view amazing sunsets, one of the best on the island. The location is one of the best in Princeville, quiet and so close to the beach you don’t need to worry about finding a place to park, which can be a problem in Princeville.Upon arrival we found a welcoming gift of wine, chocolates, and coffee.The folks at the Princeville Vacation Rentals responded quickly to any questions we had….even on a weekend! We are already planning our return trip!

We stayed here for a week for a fun family vacation. The location was amazing. We walked across the street almost every night to watch the sunset over the ocean. We loved eating out on the lanai and looking at the ocean and/or the mountains. We also enjoyed walking to hideaways beach for some snorkeling. Hanalei Bay is a short distance. We spent a lot of time there as it has become our favorite beach on Kauai. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen had everything that we needed. If you need more than two beach chairs and two boogie boards, you'll need to rent them. Our stay was amazing and we would, for sure, stay here again.

The house was very clean and just as pictured. The kitchen was very nice and had all the cooking pans , utensils, and dishes you would need. Paper goods provided were enough to last the duration of our stay. The views from the house were gorgeous! Just across the road is a little overlook of the ocean that we enjoyed very much.

Stayed in this beautiful condo with my family for spring break. We absolutely loved it and wish we could stay for the summer! I can’t say enough good things about the unit. The views are incredible and there are so many windows with tons of natural light. You can watch the beautiful sunset every evening from the condo or walk right across the street to see the coastline. We loved having coffee on the balcony and listening to the birds every morning. Very clean and lovely. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time exploring the island and coming back to the villa to rest. It's a beautiful location, in great shape, and a perfect home-base to get out and see things. It slept the four of us comfortably, the kitchen was well stocked to cook in the evenings, and it is minutes from beaches.

We had a good stay overall. The property is in a nice location and the house was setup well. I’d recommend the owners/manager to install fix minor functional issues eg: faucets, shower curtains etc to make it even better.

We enjoyed our stay at the villa. It’s in a great location for an easy drive to town, to walk to beaches, watch sunsets, and access to the new 1 Hanalei hotel beach/reataurants. The property management company is also very responsive and helpful.

We spent a wonderful week here and wish it was for longer. The villa was just as pictured, very clean, had everything we needed. Easy and quick communications and check in. The location feels secluded even though it is within walking distance of beaches and a beautiful sunset overlook. Thanks to the hosts for sharing their home with us!

The best part about this property by far is the beautiful view of both the ocean and mountains. The property is cozy, comfortable and clean. Parking was easy, and right across the street is a great ocean lookout spot.

Couldn't be closer to our favorite beach. House was spacious. Host quickly responded to resolve our only issue and also let us stay late on the last day for our very late flight.

This is the third time I have stayed at this property and it did not disappoint. The views from the deck of the bay and occasional waterfalls are beautiful. The Villa is well appointed and there is shopping minutes away. The beaches are serene and not crowded .

Wow! Superb spot for enjoying Hanalei. Steps from the 1 Hotel for morning coffee or drinks with world class views. So much tropical loveliness out all the many windows. Liked the privacy of a standalone unit. No AC is an issue on windless days but most days were breezy. We hit up the ACE hardware store for a couple box fans that helped a lot! We’ll definitely be back.

The home was absolutely perfect for my husband and I. Very well appointed kitchen with every amenity needed. Same with the bathrooms. The primary king bed was extremely comfortable - a difficult thing to achieve away from home. Communication was perfect as well. The views shown in the photos are spot on. HIGHLY recommend.

This rental was absolutely perfect. The location was great, the place was spacious, and everything was very clean. There was very easy access from the parking space to the front door (other homes had a flight of stairs to get to the door). The kitchen was well-equipped with everything needed. A huge plus was the provided beach towels, chairs, umbrella, and the variety of different sized ice chests. We’re already planning our next trip back!

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.

This little gem was a great place to stay while exploring the island. Most of the things we wanted to do or see were on the north shore, so it was a perfect place for us. Enjoyed having a tub to soak in after a long hike, and the lanai's to just watch the world go round.
Gina M.

Lovely house in a perfect location! We did do quite a bit of driving to see the whole island, but it was worth it. The owner was super responsive and communicative. We would definitely stay here again.

Kauai Palms real estate was easy to book with, and because everything was organized and efficient at the villa, we didn’t need to ask for anything. We would highly recommend it.

Comfortable beds, nice view and location. Kitchen is minimally stocked with items needed to cook. Unit has only one good beach chair. The wall decor and mirrors looks tired and needs updated. Night stands look bad and need replaced.
