Property Description
Air Conditioned, Cozy, and Full of Aloha!
Nestled in the cozy and quiet Hale Moi complex in Princeville, our spacious Studio suite condo is perfect to serve as your home base as you explore the awe-inspiring beauty of the North Shore (and beyond) of Kauai. The condo is less than a 5 minute walk to multiple beaches and the newly opened restaurants and spa at the 1Hotel Hanalei.
The View
The view from our condo is a spectacular showcase of the unspoiled beauty of Kauai. Off the lanai to the right, take in a breathtaking view of Makana Mountain, the oceanside mountain peak made famous as Bali Hai in the movie South Pacific. Enjoy sunsets right on the lanai as the evening sky comes alive with a kaleidoscope of tropical color. Looking directly off the lanai (or from the inside of the studio) is a lush, tropical greenbelt (alive with birds chirping in the morning) and the Namolokama mountain range. After rain showers, you can see one, two, or even dozens of cascading waterfalls. Experience it all without leaving your condo!
The Accommodations
Our Studio suite is a second-floor unit (up only 6 steps) with vaulted ceilings, a private 75-square foot lanai with breathtaking views, a great kitchenette, beach gear, and everything to make your stay cozy and comfortable. One of the best things about our complex, Hale Moi, is it is small and low-key - our building has just four condos. The condo has a king bed with Serta plush top mattress, a super comfy living area with love sofa and chair, dining table, a 37" flat panel TV, and two ceiling fans. The kitchenette is well-stocked with a mini-fridge/microwave/toaster oven/coffee maker/hot plate/dishes/etc. (and you can of course use the gas and charcoal BBQs on the property). Overall, it's light and airy, full of aloha, and truly a lot for your money!
A/C & Heat
The suite has a quiet and efficient AC and heating system - It never hurts to have A/C, as Kauai is guaranteed to get hot and humid in summer, but also at any time of year. And if you're coming in winter, it's nice to have heat - overnight lows on Kauai can dip near 60 degrees!
The Location
Our condo is special for many reasons and a major one is location. Hale Moi is in one of the only areas in Princeville where you have beach access within walking distance. Two beaches are within a ten minute walk, with the closest being Pu'u Po'a beach in front of the newly renovated 1 Hotel. Right outside the front door is the scenic jog/walk/bike path that runs through Princeville, and across the street is a famous sunset viewing spot (Voted one of the 10 ten sunset viewing locations by Traveler Magazine), which is also great for whale watching if you’re with us during the season (Nov-April). Gorgeous Hanalei Bay is a 10 minute drive and for hikers, several trails are within reach, including the Okolehao trail in Hanalei and the infamous Kalalau Trail. If golf is your thing, the Makai golf course (recently renovated) is a half-mile away. For an easy dinner out, Hideaways Pizza Pub is a 5 minute walk. Princeville Center is a 5 minute drive and has a grocery store, coffee shop, yoga studios, shopping, and more.

Husband and I enjoyed our stay in Princeville. Super easy to find and a great location. Walked to see the sunset at a great lookout. Close enough to get into Hanalei for food/shopping within 10m. Nourish is super close by and had yummy açaí bowls. It was quiet at night and amazing to wake up and enjoy breakfast on the lanai with all the birds. Loved our stay and would stay again!

Accurate description, great communication with owner, nice location for two people. AC and ceiling fans were nice to have on the beautiful days but AC was used only a short time to cut the heat after a day of outdoor activities. Lanai door and windows provided cool breezes. Supplies included lovely hair/body soaps and paper products. Plenty of lighting for space.

We loved staying here! The neighborhood is safe, clean, walkable, and the sunsets are beautiful. Short drives to places on the north shore. The condo was comfortable and had everything we needed. We especially appreciated the snorkel gear and beach chairs. I reached out to the host with a question and he was extremely friendly and answered quickly. We would stay here agin!

Our stay started with no visibility, no parking and we couldn't get ahold of the owner. I think the posting calls it "apocalyptic" level parking when there isn't any. The problem is that more than half the nights we were there, parking was a problem. Lighting outside the unit is poor, and the neighboring unit never shut the exterior door, which blocked the unit number from being seen from the road.Impressions of the unit were that it was small, as described, and pretty nice for an active couple. Although no full kitchen, it had everything we needed to make coffee and breakfast each morning. The bathroom has a great size counter for all your stuff and the shower was powerful and hot. The closet inside the bathroom was spacious, with a lot of room to hang things up to dry. The bed was super comfortable and the mini-split kept us nice and cool at night. The dresser is functional. The lanai was perfect for watching the sunset, listening to the wildlife, and enjoying the mountains. The chairs and table could use some updating, but it was nice. The owners included some beach things in the unit - chairs, umbrella, and snorkeling gear. There were not any masks that functioned when we got there and the next day the owner dropped some new ones off for us. That was very nice! The chairs had backpack straps, which is great for going to Hideaway Beach (best spot)!Overall, the unit was comfortable and functional, but we wouldn't stay again due to parking issues.

This studio was the perfect spot for our short stay in Princeville. It was comfortable and convenient to everywhere we wanted to go. We especially loved the beautiful view from the balcony!

Great location for exploring the north shore. Walk to queens bath, hideaway beach, and other princeville spots that people struggle to find parking for. Short drive to Hanalei Bay and other north shore gems. The apartment has everything you need to cook, beach gear, and a comfortable bed. What else could you need?

Lovely studio with deck that features your own seemingly private jungle - no need to close the drapes! Super private with full on jungle /bird / mountain vistas for days and the sunrises EPIC. Comfy bed and slept like a rock. AC helped so much with being able to feel comfortable inside if needed- though most of the time just having screen door open was perfect!

The studio was a cute, well stocked apartment. Perfect for 2 people. We slept with the lanai door open to hear the birds in the morning. A very quick walk to one of the most beautiful sunsets you’ll see, anywhere. Perfect for a couple nights.

Lovely studio unit at wonderful Hale Moi. Everything I needed for my stay here. I especially loved hearing the sounds of the songirds (and roosters) at dawn and dusk, and walking across the street to watch the sunsets.

This studio was perfect for our stay in Kauai. The view from the lanai was gorgeous and there was a beautiful overlook a short walk away. We definitely would stay here again.

I have enjoyed my stay at this studio. I’ve stayed here before and I’ve always been very pleased with the unit. It’s a great location, waking up to that view every morning was a slice of heaven. To hear the birds singing, the roosters crowing, the bullfrogs, best sounds on earth. The studio was enough space for a single person & had everything I needed & more. Check in and check out process was very easy. I will definitely return in the future.

Location, location, location. Couldn't ask for a better spot. From the view of the mountains from the lanai to viewpoints, beaches and walks/hikes within walking distance or a short drive, the studio was right where we needed to be. The host's "guidebook" in the studio was quite helpful. Parking was a bit difficult on our first day due to service trucks taking up spots, but then it wasn't a problem the rest of the stay. Host was responsive.
