Aloha and E Komo Mai (welcome)!
Our Hale Makai ('Ocean house') is a spectacular home at a great value. A rare corner unit with gorgeous 180 degree ocean views from all rooms and the wrap-around lanai, we invite you to come here, relax and enjoy the aloha that our vacation home provides (and that Kauai is world-famous for!). Please watch the short VIDEO of our place (you'll find it in with the photos). You will LOVE our condo!!!
The View
Our condo sits on the edge of a bluff overlooking the Pacific ocean and both bedrooms and the living room boast breathtaking ocean views. Wake up to an ocean view from your bed, fall asleep to the sounds of the ocean, have your morning coffee on the lanai and soak up the unspoiled ocean view. In season, watch the whales frolic and the albatross soar by without ever leaving. Also, our condo faces north so from the lanai you can also catch the colorful kaleidoscope of sunrise skies to the east and sunset skies to the west. Our condo is your front row seat to all of the above!
The Accommodations
Our condo is a two-bedroom, two-bath unit that sleeps five comfortably and is furnished with tropical, island-style decor. The master has a cal-king bed and the second bedroom has a queen bed, both with very comfortable plush-top mattresses and 700+-thread count linens. There is also a full-size air bed (which inflate and deflates in minutes). The master bedroom also has 35" smart TV - so you can use your Hulu/Amazon Prime/NetFlix account to stream your favorite movies.
The floor plan is open and airy, and the condo flows from a well-appointed kitchen (fully remodeled in April 2024) and island/bar to a separate dining area and comfortably furnished living area. For your entertainment, there is a 55” flat panel Smart TV (Roku/Netflix/Hulu/etc.) and an Alexa Echo Dot. There are ceiling fans throughout, as well as ample windows in our corner condo to catch the crisp, tropical breeze. We also provide snorkel gear, boogie boards, beach chairs, and other beach gear to suit all you needs.
The Ali'i Kai complex
Ali'i Kai is a small, quiet complex of 56 units spread over seven buildings. Lushly landscaped with palm trees, birds of paradise, hibiscus, and plumeria trees, the grounds are gorgeous. Ali'i Kai features a resort-style pool, as well as tennis court privileges at the Makai Tennis Club. There are charcoal BBQs in several locations nearby. The inviting walk/jog path that runs through Princeville - with breathtaking views of the mountains on one side and the ocean on the other - is only a half-mile away.
If you have questions, please call or email. Also, because I know that a trip to Hawaii is a major expense and for many it's the trip of a lifetime, I take seriously my responsibility to make your stay a memorable one. I will do everything I can to make you happy!

We enjoyed our stay because how can one not in Kauai on the ocean? The condo is a nice size and the kitchen with island is nice. However, it is very sad to see such a nice condo in a truly beautiful location and with such an amazing view not be maintained.
The biggest issue is that condo was not clean.
I made the mistake of wiping up water on the floor in the master bath and the towel picked up HAIR (not ours), YELLOW stain (urine?) and dirt. It clearly had not been cleaned. The one working sink was also dirty. I ended up cleaning the entire floor and sink. The grout in the shower is very moldy and needs serious cleaning.
The floor throughout the condo needs to be cleaned.
The windows were dirty and full of bugs. The light fixtures in the entire condo are full of bugs.
The deck clearly hasn't been cleaned in a long time. Bugs are plastered on the window sills. The paint is pealing off the walls around the window in the master.
Very disgusting....The bedding, specifically the mattress pad, had not been washed in what appears to be a long time. It was yellow and dirty. The pillow cases were stained. We washed all the bedding.
Also, the bed in the second bedroom is on a metal frame and our friends said anytime they shifted the bed moved and squeaked.

The views from the condo are spectacular. The host was very attentive to one hiccup we had when we couldn’t get in due to the lock malfunctioning. Condo had all the amenities one needed for a delightful.

What a stunning unit! Absolutely gorgeous views and the unit is very clean and modern. Instructions are clear and easy to follow. Beds were comfortable and towels were fluffy. Balcony was so nice to have and watch the waves. About 10-15 from Hanalei. We will be dreaming about our time here forever.

Easy check-in, beautiful views, very beachy vibe, comfortable. Unfortunately no walking beach access -as I had hoped, (but not suggested by owner-he was great and helpful info)! Very good location for driving short distances to good food (food land poke awesome!) and beaches.

This spot couldn’t have been a better fit for us on our trip. For first time Kauai visitors, this spot is close to Hanalei, Kilauea, and the beaches / activities in Haena. The actual home has an incredible ocean view, from which you can see a stunning sunrise. We only stayed here for three days of our trip but I wish we stayed the whole time! The one thing I did wish was that the home had somewhere to hang purses/beach bags and raincoats by the door.

We stayed a week in this condo, which is in the Ali'i Kai complex in Princeville. Even though it is on the first level with stairs down to the front door, it has a terrace on the back facing the ocean. The view is from most every room, which was great. The rooms are large and attractively furnished and we had most everything we required. We experienced an electrical short in the wall, which resulted in a fire dept visit and lack of wifi and some loss of electricity for the first night. Fortunately John was able to send people to fix the problem by the end of the next day. This is an older condo complex and air conditioning would have been great as it was so hot the first few days we were there. Overall, though, we had a very nice stay and found the location handy for north shore and Hanalei sites.

Everything you could possibly need John has anticipated. Kitchen is stocked, extra sunscreen and insect repellent, snorkel and beach gear and more, made our stay comfortable and worry free. And beyond the comfortable beds and common area is the spectacular view of the ocean and the lovely cross breezes made air conditioning obsolete. John also thoughtfully provided us with lists of favorite beaches, restaurants, hikes, and other activities.
We hope to stay with him again.

This condo was amazing. The place was spotless, and even nicer than the photos as the kitchen had been recently renovated. It was very well stocked with everything you’d need in the kitchen, as well as beach gear. The ocean views from every room were gorgeous. It was quiet, and comfortable as well. We could not have asked for a better place to stay for this week on Kauai.

The condo was neat and clean and the view off the deck was spectacular! The condo was in a great location which made it easy to travel to and from anywhere on the island. I would highly recommend a stay there!

We absolutely loved our Condo. Love Alii Kai area, amazing view, close to Turtle Cove. Recently upgraded Kitchen. The trade winds were AMAZING standing in the living room. My ONLY complaint is that we had to leave!
John was very quick to respond and assist. 11 out of 10 review!

Our stay was lovely with an amazing view of the ocean from ALL rooms. Falling asleep to the sound of ocean surf was magical as was greeting the whales and turtles every morning. If you enjoy running, wonderful running loop that sends you down a steep fire road to Anini Beach to enjoy views of ocean surf and the lighthouse. The condo had everything we needed and was very comfortable. John is awesome to work with and is very prompt; we would absolutely stay in his place again. Now we must leave and likely get an ocean surf sound machine so we can sleep as well as we did in Kauai!!😁 Mahalo!
