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 placefor 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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Great location, across the street from beautiful lookout and 5 minute walk to great cafe/ restaurant. Close to Princeville shopping center, and to Hanalei. Easy access to entire North Shore. Only complaint was there was no stove or oven. We hadn’t noticed that in the listing, so eating out every meal. Toaster was broken, but plenty of room in the fridge.

    Wonderful stay in PrincevilleWe haven’t spent much time on this side of the island in the 20 years we’ve been coming to Kauai We have friends there and like the quieter slower pace of the west side but our timing for this trip was perfect as it was a fairly quiet easy week walking and beach hopping to some of the most beautiful beaches and best food trucks the island has to offerComing back to our bungalow was always a treat It was comfy clean and wonderfully relaxing especially sitting on the balcony with the mountainous views from the back and the beach views from the front with the sound of waves crashing to lull you to sleep at nightA very special place!Will definitely return

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!
