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 is also a terrific place to do absolutely nothing! Visit our website (see link below) to see spectacular aerial photos of the property and surrounding area - plus interior pictures.
The house is located on the north shore of the island of Kauai, a place considered by many to be one of the most beautiful places on earth. The movie South Pacific was filmed here because the filmmakers felt it represented the ultimate Polynesian paradise.
Melia Kai looks across the Makai golf course to the ocean beyond. The spectacular views invite you to walk barefoot across the fairway to the edge of a 150-foot cliff, 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 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 Princeville 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.
Come stay the week at Melia Kai and we will insure all your money through the VRBO Carefree Guarantee. Why worry about scams when you can come to this fantastic private home, worry free and insured.

The location of this home is spectacular. We stayed here for a family get together during a week in May and couldn't have enjoyed your home more. The snorkel equipment and boogie boards, beach chairs, all were appreciate by young and old alike! The Albatross were nesting very nearby allowing us to observe the nest and the parents and some courting mates. All very special. Thanks for sharing your home with us, wish we could call it our own!!! We hope to return in the not too far future! We would love to stay here again.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

This property is in a great location. We really enjoyed the view and watching the golfers. At the end of day it was great place to view the sunset. It was comfortable with all the conveniences of home. Everything was there that we needed to make our trip perfect. The owners were very helpful.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

We loved our stay here. The pictures did not do the size of the house justice. Very clean and comfortable but they should invest in some memory foam or a new matress in the master bed. The view is absolutly beautiful. From the patio or living room (large windows wall to wall) you can see a waterfall in the distance from one direction the golf course and ocean in another which makes for great sunsets and bbq's. Which we had many. The house had everything needed for cooking and bbq's. I suggest checking the cupboards and frig. Before shopping. Its in a great location take a walk down the street the house is on and your at queens bath or walk across th golf course through the condos to secret beach ( my favorite beach) for great snorkling. Princeville adventures is just outside the princeville entrance for kayaking and zipline(so fun). Hanalei is the closest town where you have to try shaved ice paradise , village snack shop & bakery for the best tropical pancakes and tahiti nui for great local entertainment (decendents filmed here) and the best mai tais. Tunnels beach for great snorkeling with sea turtles or ke'e beach at the end of the road for snorkeling and hiking on the napali coast. The house had wifi' snorkle gear a several boogie boards, inflaitables, towels and ice chests available. Warning geckos love to talk to each other early in the morning and so do the roosters. We found a centipede in the house and bright green lizards on the patio. Bannas and plumeria grow off the patio too and different types of colored birds will join you for breakfast just off the patio. You'll also see many rainbows..just beautiful. Wish i could share some of the pictures.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

We recently stayed at this house for 2 weeks with our 3 young boys, and we had a fabulous time. We vacation regularly in Kauai, so the island itself wasn't new to us, and we have stayed in a variety of vacation rentals. This was by far our favorite. The location is great with gorgeous views and an easy evening stroll to admire the sunset, albatrosses nesting nearby, and very little noise other than the occasional rooster crowing. The inside of the house is well-layed out and comfortable and the house is well stocked with basic supplies. The house has huge windows through which to enjoy the view. Most-importantly, there is great outdoor space for dining and relaxing. The owners were also friendly, prompt and helpful. We would highly recommend Melia Kai and hope to say there again soon.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

We spent 11 days in Kauai. Overall, the vacation was wonderful. We have 2 teenagers, 16 and 13. The home size and layout was perfect for us. My husband and I had our own "wing", master bedroom with bathroom, and our children each had their own room and they shared their own bathroom. The home had an open feel, windows faced the fairway with the ocean in the distance. We could see the whales breaching in the distance from the living room. The walk down the fairway was very nice, baby albatross in protected grass areas, to a tee box with great views of Queens Bath in one direction, and the mountains with Hideaway Beach in the other. We travelled around most of the island, and though the north side is slightly cooler, and wetter, it is much more lush and tropical with many waterfalls, beautiful uninhibited beaches all a short walking distance from the road. Though the house is slightly dated, it is very comfortable and you can not go wrong for the cost! We would return again, if the opportunity arises.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

This was our first trip to Kauai and it couldn't have been better. The location and views were amazing. Melia Kai was close to everything on the north coast.

We just returned from our Kauai vacation and loved it! Melia Kai was the perfect place to stay for three couples or a small family. You can't beat the price or location. We loved being on the North Shore. We were so close to the best shopping and beaches. The guys really loved being right on the golf course. Our favorite little spot, Queen's Bath, was a 5 minute walk from the house. We can't wait to come back. Thanks again!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
