About this property
Summary:
Start the day watching the Pacific change color beneath Bali Hai, then let the kids linger over breakfast while whitewater rolls across the reef below. This oceanfront Pu'u Poa corner condo puts four guests in the heart of Princeville's dramatic North Shore, with two bedrooms, two baths, air conditioning in the living area, a private washer and dryer, and a shared pool for the warm part of the afternoon. Huge windows bring the ocean, coral reef, and green cliffs into the living room, dining room, kitchen, and den. Spend a beach day at Anini, head down to Hanalei for sand and shave ice, then come home for a lanai dinner from the gas grill as the light softens on Bali Hai. It is a special fit for a couple traveling with friends or a small family who wants Kauai's big scenery right outside the window.
The Space:
An end-corner layout gives this bright, single-level condo windows on two sides, including an extra ocean-facing living-room window. The open living, dining, kitchen, and den spaces all look toward Bali Hai, the reef, and the surf. Two bedroom suites with en-suite baths sleep four, while the air-conditioned living area, enclosed atrium sitting room, gas grill, and private washer and dryer make longer stays comfortable.
Guest Access:
This Princeville home offers access to a shared communal and outdoor pool, plus a private entrance and single level layout. It's an oceanfront resort setting with a lit path to the entrance for easy evenings. Some resort facilities are operated independently by the resort.
The Neighborhood:
Princeville sits on Kauai's lush North Shore above Hanalei Bay, where emerald ridges, waterfalls, and the Bali Hai headland make even a grocery run scenic. Anini Beach is nearby for gentler snorkeling, while Hanalei is down the hill for its broad bay, casual eateries, galleries, and shave ice. Princeville Center keeps coffee, groceries, and essentials close, and the neighborhood makes a convenient launch point for North Shore beaches and trailheads. This is the right side of Kauai for families and couples who want green landscapes, big ocean views, and a slower daily rhythm.
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:
The path to Hideaways Beach is steep and can be slippery when it rains. Please use caution. This property is managed by Heavenly Vacations.

Location, views, pool, hidden beach, and terrace are wonderful. Only improvement Would be new/better quality mattress in master bedroom. We will return.
Spectacular views. Clean and neat. Well played out. Extra large windows for viewing. Already making reservations for next year.
We had an unforgettable time at this beautiful home. The views were stunning and the home was gorgeous!
The property has stunning views, was very nicely furnished and the kitchen was well stocked for gourmet cooking.
Everything we hoped for.
This property was amazing and the perfect base for our visit to Kauai. The unit is spacious and had plenty of room for our family of 3. The views go on for miles, and we loved watching sunsets and surfers and were also lucky enough to see whales from the unit as well. A quick drive to Hanalei Bay with shops and restaurants and a great beach. Overall the property was quiet and calm, although there was some construction work in the unit above us which we were not made aware of before our stay, it made a few of the afternoons a bit loud but we modified our schedules for the remaining days to account for it. We will likely stay here again but would like to see a few maintenance issues addressed.
We had a wonderful stay in the condo. Overall clean and functional, very comfortable and spacious. Everything you need in the kitchen. The view is special from this unit, due to the extra windows on the side of the living room and kitchen, probably the only unit in Puu Poa with this combo of Bali Hai and Queens Bath views - 180 degrees. The views are breathtaking, and as a result, the unit is very bright and has an open feel. Would love to come back.
Views are stunning
We loved the spacious master bed and bath. The highlight of our trip was watching the sunset each night on the amazing balcony.
Overall, our stay was good at this condo. YOU CANNOT beat the stunning views from every window. They were truly unbelievable. The condo was clean and a nice layout. The PROBLEM was that it only had ONE mini split air conditioner. It couldn't keep up with the heat that was generated from the large floor to ceiling windows. One of the sitting rooms is like an atrium (has a glass roof), so the heat generating in that area was a lot! The air conditioner ran the entire time and blew cool air, but there was not adjusting it because it had an error code. We notified Vacasa and they were going to send someone out to look at it, but we decided we would deal with it because we didn't want it to get worse if they couldn't fix it right away. You knew this was a normal problem because they had three large fans to use in the rooms to help circulate the air. If we had someone staying in the back room, they would have been very hot. We made do with closing up the condo ( shades down, closing off rooms, etc.) during the day so the heat was more manageable. It did get better later at night and first thing in the morning. Again, I gave 4 stars because of the incredible views and location of the condo. We loved being near the places we wanted to explore in the Princeville area. It would get ONE STAR for comfort because of the air conditioning. We were there in September and the weather was beautiful. If being cool after a day at the beach is important to you, this may not be the place for you.
This was such a beautiful location with stunning views! Our family really appreciated having a space in such a beautiful location. The photos on this listing are beautiful but still don’t quite capture how beautiful it was here. Binoculars are available for use and we enjoyed watching the sea turtles. We did cook a good portion of our meals here and everything you could need was in the kitchen. This made being on vacation with littles more manageable. Also, within walking distance is a hidden beach that was perfect for snorkeling and playing in the water. If you don’t mind a pretty steep climb down and back up, I highly recommend! I do want to add this is within walking distance to 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay which is a world-class wellness resort. We visited their coffee shop several times and had we planned better, would have loved to get on their schedule for a facial and massages. This location is such a gem! Northern Kauai is the most beautiful part of the island in my opinion. If you do helicopter tours and go on a tour of the Na Pali coast, you will have around an hour of a drive but it’s still worth it!
Beautiful corner unit. Would be nice to have a king size bed in secondary bedroom when traveling with another couple or adult children. Bed was to small for two. Also better beach chairs and in need of a new larger shade umbrella for the beach. Kitchen was sufficiently stocked and we enjoyed the awesome panoramic views!
The condo is beautiful with amazing scenic views. It s clean and spacious and stocked with everything you need. The only thing is that the a/c had trouble cooling the place in the heat of summer. But that was a minor inconvenience. All in all, I’d stay here again.
We booked this condo for the partical A/C, but most of all for the view! And it did not disappoint. Morning coffee and evening cocktails were had on the balcony with the stunning sunset view. The condo was clean, comfy and surprisingly stocked for a rental. Loved that there were band aids, oil and vinegar, beach chairs (if needed), bug spray, etc. Really anythig you could need. We enjoyed the easy access to Hideaways for snorkeling and spent some good times at the pool. Very relazing. Our favorite island and our favorite view!
This home is so beautiful. Better than pictures even. Very large living space with 180 degree views of the ocean! Central to everything on the North End. Adjacent to trail to Hideaway Beach for excellent snorkeling. Bali Hai view sunsets from deck. I highly recommend this property!
