From the lanai you can almost touch the tops of the tropical fruit trees; mango, avocado, guava and java plum. At days end, witness the spectacular sunsets from the famous Bali Hai (Makana Peak) lookout, located right across the street from your own front door and individual parking space. This two-bedroom/2.5-bath, stand-alone villa; has 1250 square feet and is ideal for couples or a family desiring a beautiful setting for a rejuvenating vacation.

Staying at the "Bird House" was true paradise!

Our 8 day family vacation was beyond expectation. The home in Hanalei Villa's was the perfect place to explore the north shore. Everything we needed was provided by the Birds...We found the large library of books on local destinations, the CD's of local music, and the necessary beach items like bathing mats and umbrella especially useful. The accommodations were immaculate and perfect for the four of us (couple w/ two adult daughters). We use many of the kitchen items i.e. blender, coffee grinder, cookware etc. The lanai constantly called us to gather and listen to the doves and take in the beautiful views. Our favorites were: Beach- Hideaways, by far the best snorkeling, most quiet and right below the house. Restaurant- Kalypso, in Hanalei, great food, good prices Sunset view- across the street! Thanks Joe and Linda for providing such a wonderful experience, we plan to return soon. B&ERecommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

The condo had everything we need. We wanted to be away from the noisy road, and #37 is about as far away as you can get in HBV. The porch has a nice sunset view, as well as the viewpoint a that is a short walk across the street. Birds come to breakfast on the lanai - they like granola bits. The condo also has binoculars, which were useful for identifying birds in the trees. The kitchen is well-appointed, so you don't have to go out for dinner. Very relaxing place. Joe Bird is a delight to work with, welcoming you into their well-cared for home away from home.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+.

It was our first trip to Kaua'i and we were very happy to find this place. This gorgeous, nicely decorated, and well equipped villa was located just minutes away from beautiful beaches as well as Princeville shopping center. Joe, the owner, provided us with a lot of useful information from the beginning so we immediately knew what we want to see and where to go. We really enjoyed our stay and we hope to come back soon!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children.
Owner response: We want all our guests to find and enjoy the beauty of Kaua?i, especially first time visitors.

We want to thank you again for the use of your place. It really did work out well for us. We enjoyed the small things, like having "real" utensils....e.g., being able to cut ahi block with a real knife rather than a butter knife, if you know what I mean. The radio was already tuned to KKCR, our favorite for morning Hawaiian music.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

We stayed in this beautiful two-story villa for a week and could not have been happier. The villa is centrally located within the beautiful Princeville golf course area yet it feels a million miles away from anything - think Swiss Family Robinson treehouse. The place is situated so there are only neighbors to one side and nothing but huge trees and an amazing ocean/bay view right out the living room. The place was exceptionally decorated and had everything we needed - from boogie boards to umbrellas to coolers, etc. Hanalei Bay is just minutes away with everything you could need as well the convenience of the Princeville shopping center up on the corner. There's an amazing beach called Hideaway Beach right across the street too and about as close as you can come to feeling on a deserted island. The owner Joe was so easy and pleasant to deal with. We would go back in a heartbeat! LOVED IT!!!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.
Owner response: We do have a unique location, close to all the attractions of the North Shore, yet private and secluded, and with a Hawaiian sense of place.

Thank you for opening your beautiful home to us. This is as close to Heaven as you can get! What a wonderful home, the home was spotless, beautifully decorated with a hawaiian theme, the view as you walked in stunning and the home had every possible amenity. From start to finish, the owners were wonderful to work with and supplied us with endless recommendations from the best beaches for snorkeling, to a list of great hikes and restaurants. This entire experience from start to finish was exeptional. We will definitely recommend this home and we will definitely return again. Mahalo!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Martine and her family took great advantage of the beauty and adventures that the North Shore of Kaua?i has to offer, including hiking to the waterfalls on the Kalalau trail on the Napali Coast. We are happy to have helped guide them along the way.

My husband, 18 yr old son and I spent 2 wonderful weeks at this gorgeous villa. It was in a great location and had everything that we needed. There's a nice small lookout across the street to view sunsets. The beach located nearby also had the best snorkeling on the island. We've done alot of traveling, but this was our favorite place so far. Look forward to the day that we can return.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway.
Owner response: We enjoy sharing the aloha of Haleakamanu with our guests and truly appreciate their finding the peace and beauty of this Hawaiian place. We agree with Robert, Hideaways Beach (aka Kenomene Beach) is the best spot for snorkeling and ditto on the sunsets. Ke aloha wale, ka mahalo wale, Joe and Linda

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2004
About the owner: Our aloha for all things Hawaiian began as we listened to the stories of our kapuna (elders). They told us of their trips to Hawai'i and the beauty the aina (land). They described the sweeping views, mauka (mountain) and makai (sea), lush tropical vegetation and the warm, gentle climate. On our own first trip to the islands in 1969, we found all that and much more. We found even greater beauty in the people of Hawai'i. As the opportunities came to connect with them, their culture, mele (song) and hula (dance), we were led to discover the true meaning of Aloha.
Why the Owner Chose Hanalei Bay Villas:
We chose the North Shore of Kaua'i because of its' great climate and its' access to the water. When we first came to Hawai'i, it was to coach Water Polo teams entered in tournaments on O'ahu. Years later the purpose was to participate in the Ironman Triathlon in Kona. We have swam, snorkeled, paddled, body surfed, lifeguarded, taught and coached swimmers of all ages for decades. For us, now, the North Shore of Kaua'i was the best possible spot for us to maintain our connection with the water.
We chose our home in the Hanalei Bay Villas because of the views (mountain, jungle and sea) and because of its' privacy and serenity. It has a Hawaiian sense of place. To preserve this place is our kuleana (responsibility). We truly enjoy sharing this makana (gift) of aloha with our guests. Many of them describe its' mystical qualities of the place, its' healing power, spiritual sense and meditative tranquility. It is definitely a place where one remain in the moment. And yet, be in the water within a short walk.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
We enjoy being at home in Kaua'i. The simple routines of the day, like going to the market, are a pleasure, enhanced by the climate and the surrounding beauty. We also enjoy exploring everything else the Island has to offer. In September we had the opportunity to paddle the Napali Coast, with Kayaks Kaua'i out of Hanalei. The trip took all day, including the shuttle ride back from Polihale and was a great adventure. From one extreme to the other, for us it is all good!
