Our spacious 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, two covered outdoor lanais for dining and unwinding, 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. We provide ceiling and floor fans in every room for your use.
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 with handrails 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.
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! ****

Traveled with two adults and two teens and thoroughly enjoyed this property! I would highly recommend staying here if you are in the Princeville or Hanalei area. The property was clean, had gorgeous views, was easy to find and had a very fun vibe. Meg was easy to work with and was a fabulous host. Don't hesitate and just book this property!

Our family of 5 had such a lovely time and stay at Malia Kai. The house is perfectly located with a beautiful view of the mountains and ocean. For a close bite to eat, you can walk to pick up pizza or at Welina Terrace with a view of Hanalei and a Mai Tai. After a day of adventure (surfing, kayaking), it was nice to relax in the hot tub star gazing. We loved our stay!

Meg is a fantastic host and our stay on the island was only made better by this great house. The layout, cleanliness, location, and overall feel couldn't have been better for our family of 5 (three kids under 7).
This is our 10th time coming to Kauai and first time with all three kids, everyone shared they hope the house is available again when we plan our return.
Thank you for hosting us, Meg!!

We loved this house! I must say we were a bit concerned that the house didn’t have AC (we live in Texas, where that is a must) but it was no issue at all! The house was always cool and comfortable, and there was always a breeze blowing.

We had a great time staying at this beautifully appointed mid-century modern home. It had everything we could want and the sunsets over the golf course were amazing!! Many great memories were made on this vacation. Thanks for sharing your home with us!!

This home was perfect for our family of 5. The views and sunsets were amazing, the neighborhood is safe, and we walked to the beach most evenings for snorkeling on the reef. The beach supplies provided were great to take to the beach and the host was prepared for all weather. The kitchen was well equipped, we don't eat out often and made most meals in the house. I know there have been some comments about the rules, but once you arrive and see the neighborhood you will see why. Queens Bath was just at the end of the street, and Hanalei is a quick drive so location was ideal. We got coffee and shave ice at Wishing Well in Hanalei and doughnuts several mornings. The communication with the hosts was great and they even let us know of some road closures in the area during our stay to help with driving. I highly recommend booking this house for your stay.

Loved this house. The location in Princeville is convenient to everything on the North Shore. The layout was perfect for a family of four. The view is beautiful and the interior decor is modern and clean. We spent lots of time on the patios. The breeze and fans make the house more than comfortable inside and out. We loved every minute of our stay. Thank you!!

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.
