Due to neighborhood restrictions, our house is not available for rental for on-site retreats or for guest housing for off-site retreats. We are only available to groups of families and friends. Mahalo! ****
Our remodeled vacation home has amazing ocean, Bali Hai and golf course views and now boasts updated modern bathrooms with Hans Grohe rain showers and fixtures plus a free-standing tub in the master bathroom, state of the art kitchen with Caesarstone counters and Kitchen Aid appliances, all new windows and doors, 8 foot tall sliders leading to the rear lanai, a covered outdoor lanai for dining, wall to wall hardwood flooring, wood patio decking, midcentury modern furnishings and an enclosed covered garage. Each room including the lanai is equipped with Big Ass fans, considered the most efficient and quietest fans on the market.
*** Please bear in mind that the trade winds blow so we do not have any air conditioners in the house. If you really need air conditioners, this may not be the house for you - the natural breezes are incredible through the house most of the time.
Princeville is located just by Hanalei, on the island of Kauai, which is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful places on earth. Its pristine beaches are surrounded by a stunning array of waterfalls and emerald-green cliffs.
Melia Kai is a private home with a sweeping view of the cobalt blue Pacific Ocean and the cascading waterfalls of Namolokama. Located on the Princeville Makai golf course, our house offers the visitor a wonderful opportunity to do just about everything---but it is also a terrific place to do absolutely nothing!
The spectacular views invite you to walk barefoot across the fairway to the edge of a 150-foot cliff (security may ask you to leave so please do not go across before 7 pm after the golfing day is over), where you look down on waves crashing onto the lava rock below. If you watch closely, you will see turtles swimming in the coves beneath you.
You will find that Melia Kai offers the best of two worlds - the luxurious amenities of the Princeville resort area (security patrol, community center, shopping mall and golfing) and the exotic remoteness of Kauai's north shore. One minute you can be sipping a Mai Tai in a crisp summer outfit at the sumptuous One Hanalei Hotel and the next you can be navigating a jungle trail in your bathing suit looking for the waterfall at the head of the Kalihiwai Valley.
Note: Although our home is all on one floor, please note that we have 3 steps leading up to the front door landing and there is a step down between the entryway/dining area down to the living room area. This home may not work for guests who require handicap access, guests who cannot easily go up and down the step down or guests with small children who may fall easily.
Come stay the week at Melia Kai and experience paradise first hand! We offer discounts for weekly and monthly stays.

Our stay at Melia Kai was amazing. The view from family room was absolutely gorgeous as we had a great view of the sunset every night.
The house was set up really well for us and the Weber grill was a huge added bonus that we took full advantage of. Being able to sit in the hot tub in the evenings was also really nice.
There were plenty of beach chairs for our family of five and the boogey boards were fun to play with at the beach.
Overall great vacation and enjoyed the opportunity to stay at Melia Kai.

Stunning views. Island feel. Quiet. Safe neighborhood. Relaxing. Well appointed. Clean. Amazing sunsets. Would have loved to stay longer. Convenient location to get to Hanalei Bay. We have only positive things to say about this house after staying for a week. Enjoyed having beach accessories available (e.g., beach chairs, umbrella, and boogie boards).

No air conditioner should have been in the notes, beautiful property but rules did not match cleanliness. Multi-million-dollar home with the cheapest toilet paper, paper towels, dishes etc.

An amazing house set in the most beautiful location. The pictures do not do it justice! The windows let all the beauty in. We loved it here. The kids were in the hot tub everyday. The patio is a great spot for coffee or a drink. Walk across the golf course after hours to watch the sun set. Thank you, Meg.

Wonderful home located in a great location with a great view. All to enjoy while relaxing in the hot tub sipping on your favorite drink. The home is clean and well supplied with many essentials. Had some trouble with the WiFi, but host was very responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Great location - perfect for our family of 4. The home is well-kept, comfortable and comes packed with a ton of nice touches (backpack beach chairs, beach towels, and a number more of other amenities). Highly recommend if you’re looking to stay in the Princeville area!

We had a wonderful stay at Melia Kai. The house was beautiful, clean and well equipped. We enjoyed the easy access to walking trails and watching the albatross in the backyard. It was a wonderful place to rest from our normally hectic lives. Meg was a great host. Hope to be back again.

My husband and I stayed along with his mom and sister, my sister, and her husband. The sleeping arrangement was perfect for our group and the home and location were so stunning. The kitchen was huge and well equipped for the handful of meals we cooked there. We loved the convenience of having beach towels, boogie boards, beach chairs, etc. at the house. Such a nice walk down to watch the sunsets by the cliff and enjoying the view from the lanai. Felt super safe, and although it was a bit far to walk most places, it was a super quick drive to beaches, farmers markets, Hanalei, etc. Meg was extremely kind and flexible, and she went out of her way to help accommodate our schedule. We would highly recommend this home to anyone visiting the Princeville area. It’s an idyllic home base for your relaxation and adventures!
