Rental Details

Property Overview

Enjoy Kauai's simple pleasures and grand landscapes right from home! From the moment you arrive, you immediately sense the Aloha spirit and the other-worldliness of Kauai's North Shore. Hanalei Bay Villas' surroundings are stunning and beyond beautiful; the unique charm, ideal location, and dramatic beauty provide an island experience to be treasured.

The Layout:

The home comfortably accommodates up to five guests. The villa is a traditional Hawaiian-style, two-story design with 1,365 sq ft of living space. To the South, the view looks over a lush green valley toward the rugged interior mountains with cascading waterfalls, shifting clouds, and brilliant rainbows. To the North, the home opens on to the shimmering blue Pacific. The scenic cliff overlook is a great place to take in sunset and to whale watch. These natural surroundings provide a dramatic backdrop to your island retreat; some of the most beautiful scenery on the island is right at home.

Villa #29 sits atop a ridge-line allowing ocean trade winds to flow through the house keeping it fresh, bright, and airy. There are numerous louvered windows, sliding glass doors, solar shades, ceiling fans and several area fans throughout. The bedrooms have portable A/C units for additional sleeping comfort if desired,

The living space, covered lanai, beach closet, and half bath are on the upper/entry level. The lower level of the home has three bedrooms, two full baths, another covered lanai, and laundry area with full size washer/dryer. The primary ensuite bedroom has a Queen Tempur-Pedic mattress on a platform bed frame. The 2nd bedroom has a King mattress and large closet; and the office serving as the third bedroom has a Twin XL and desk.

The Neighborhood:

Beautiful beaches are within close walking distance. A short and steep foot trail leads down to Kenomene Beach (aka 'Hideaways'), ideal for basking on the warm golden sands or resting under the large shade trees. This 300' stretch of beach is divided by a rock outcropping and offers great snorkeling and coastal views. Pu'u Poa Beach on the eastern shore of the bay fronts 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay and can be accessed by an outdoor staircase. Follow the foot trail around the bay and, during low tide, you can wade across the Hanalei River to Hanalei Pier & Beach Pavilion.

Within the community of Princeville you will also find gems to visit such as Queen’s Bath, Kaweonui Beach and Wyllie Beach. You can play the award winning Maka'i golf course, jog along the 3 mile path, practice sunrise yoga on the bluff, workout at the outdoor fitness circuit, visit the playground and play tennis or pickleball at the nearby courts. Princeville Ranch offers private horsemanship lessons on 2,500 acres of private lands on the North Shore of Kaua'i and several artist markets are held in Princeville monthly.

The Princeville Center just two miles away offers a grocery store, grab and go deli, wine market, convenience store, specialty boutiques, art galleries, full service restaurants and casual courtyard cafes.

Just Down The Road:

Princeville, nestled between Hanalei (4 miles W) and Kilauea (7 mi S), is central to all North Shore attractions and activities. Truly, all are within twelve scenic miles of the villa; including the quaint town of Hanalei, Limahuli National Tropical Botanical Gardens, the pristine Na Pali Coast and the Kalalau Trailhead, Kilauea Point Lighthouse & National Wildlife Refuge, and many more hiking trails and beautiful beaches to explore.

Wonderful stay. Property is beautifully decorated and well- appointed. Fully stocked kitchen everything you need for a beach day. Beautiful views and location a short walk from 1Hotel where we often went for lattes and beach. Special bonus: both owner, Donna, and caretaker, Mindy, were extremely responsive and helpful, even when I needed a dentist the day after Christmas. Mindy found one for me! Highly recommend A

Perfect location. Very clean and had everything a family could need. Enjoyed the early mornings having coffee and watching the birds. And the evenings strolling along the front and watching the sunset. There was amble beach supplies and hiking gear. Close to the beach about 5 min walk one had a lot of steps but was paved. Parking was easy but had a few people that would park in the location when it was sunset time, they did move when we asked. Would highly recommend this location it’s perfect.

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.

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.

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!

We loved the wonderful home near Hideaways and the 1 Hotel. Easy drive into Hanalei and the Haena State Park. Thoughtful amenities! We wish we could stay another week or month!

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!

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!

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!
