About this property
Glorious Ocean and Bali Hai Views on Ground Floor + 1 Hotel Club Access
Experience the best of Kauai from this luxury oceanfront residence—now enhanced with access to the 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay Club (pools, fitness center, beach cabanas, and spa facilities). Located right next door to this renowned five-star resort, you’ll enjoy the rare combination of world-class amenities with the space, comfort, and privacy of a two-bedroom home. (Please note: all guests in your group may enjoy the 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay Club privileges, but access is limited to 2 guests at a time).
This immaculate luxury condo, perched on an emerald bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, offers spectacular views of the surf and the famous Bali Hai mountain range. On Kauai's North Shore, near Hanalei Bay, this 1700-square-foot, ground-floor unit is found in the luxurious Puu Poa condominium complex.
What we hear consistently from our guests: - They love Puu Poa 111 as the ground floor location allows them to walk freely out onto the expansive lawn while enjoying spectacular ocean and Bali Hai views from this modern, updated condo - They love the powerful air conditioning system. The air conditioning system is centrally powered and has four individually-controlled zones (living room, kitchen, master bedroom, second bedroom), allowing guests to regulate each room's temperature - They love the strong wifi (we installed fiberoptic internet in 2025) - They love the personalized service we provide, with helpful hints, tricks, and ideas to elevate their Kauai experience
Watch sunsets, whales (during whale season November to March), dolphins, tropical birds, sailboats and surfers from the private, covered lanai that opens directly onto the lawn overlooking the ocean. Relax, grill and eat on the lanai in any weather. Take the beach chairs out on the lawn and stretch out for sunbathing or relaxing after dark as you watch the stars and listen to the surf. Just a short walk away, across the lush grass, you'll find the heated pool. The complex also has two beautiful pickleball courts (Note that the pickleball nets can be moved in order to play tennis instead of pickleball).
Directly below the Puu Poa complex sits the secluded Hideaways Beach. A favorite of many visitors to the island, Hideaways is a wonderful snorkeling and sun-bathing spot. Right next door and within short walking distance is the spectacular new 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay (formerly the St. Regis Princeville) with several bars/restaurants and an incredible spa.
Enjoy all of this and all the beauty, fun and serenity Hawaii's Garden Island has to offer with Puu Poa #111 as your luxurious, comfortable, vacation home base.
The condo features an Italian-designed, gourmet, eat-in kitchen overlooking a large, open living room and dining area, all offering expansive views of the ocean and mountains. You'll find European furniture, high quality shutters and tiled floors throughout. Designed with attention to promoting a comfortable, bright, airy living space that fully takes advantage of the delightful ocean breezes.
Watch the sun set over the ocean from the living room area or turn on your favorite show on the 55-inch television.
On the covered lanai, use the weber grill to cook your meals. Eat your meals at the teak patio table and relax on the cushioned teak couch.
The kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, wine/beverage cooler, washer/dryer, glass counter-top range, oven and all the pots, pans and utensils needed to prepare any gourmet feast.
The master bedroom has a king-size bed, night stands, 42-inch TV, a computer desk and illuminated closet. The guest bedroom features two twin-xl beds, closet, and a 42-inch TV. There are ceiling fans with lights in each of the bedrooms and in the kitchen dining area and living room.
Enjoy shopping and dining in idyllic Hanalei where you'll find a farmers market, fish market and natural food store. Explore Puu Poa, Lumahai and Hanalei beaches; discover the famous backdrops for dozens of Hollywood films including 'South Pacific' and 'Jurassic Park', and 'The Descendants.'
For the adventurous, explore the island's many spectacular hikes, waterfalls, and outlooks, including the world famous "Kalalau Trail" at the end of Highway 560 (about 29 minutes away).
Exclusive 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay Club Access (new as of May 2026):
As our guest, you’ll enjoy access to the adjacent 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay Club—just a short stroll from the condo.
This includes access to:
Resort pools, hot tubs, and beach cabanas State-of-the-art fitness center Spa facilities (steam, sauna, lockers) and wellness spaces
This link has further details on "1 Club" privileges: https://www.1hotels.com/hanalei-bay/membership
This rare offering allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds—the space and privacy of a luxury two-bedroom home, paired with access to one of Hawaii’s premier five-star resort experiences.
(Please note: all guests in your group may enjoy the 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay Club privileges, but access is limited to 2 guests at a time). Spa services and dining at the resort are available separately at standard rates.
So you know .... 1. While this is a ground floor unit, there are approximately 24 stairs to get from the parking lot down to the ground floor level. There is no elevator. 2. While the internet is strong, cell phone coverage is spotty. Verizon coverage seems to be OK, but AT&T and T-Mobile are quite spotty. The way to solve this is to turn on "internet calling" on your phone 3. We’re proud to have over 100 five-star reviews — not because this is a luxury all-inclusive resort, but because we offer a comfortable, guest-focused stay. Guests love the sweeping ocean views, powerful A/C, and thoughtful touches — from our welcome guide to beach gear and quick communication. 4. We bought our home in 2021 and have done extensive refurnishing. While we encourage you to read ALL reviews, note that reviews before 2021 are dated (previous owner/manager, older furnishings).
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Keith was a superb host, very welcoming without being intrusive. He offers more creature comforts than we have experienced in other VRBOs we have rented.

Aloha Kathleen! Many thanks for your kind words and I'm super pleased you enjoyed our home. Come see us again! Mahalo, Keith
My family of 4 spent the second half of spring break at this fantastic ground floor condo. Everything about the condo is top notch from when you book until you check out. The host was very communicative and checked in on us multiple times, we very much appreciated the binder the host provided that had recommendations for restaurants, beaches, and activities in the area. We also appreciated the bottle of prosecco that was chilling in the refrigerator after a long day of travel and sightseeing. The condo itself is well laid out and had plenty of space for the 4 of us. All rooms are well-appointed, but the real gem is the lanai. Gorgeous views from every angle, so relaxing to listen to the sound of the ocean after a day of sightseeing. I would highly recommend staying in this unit, and would stay there again myself should I ever make my way back to Kauai!

Keith was a perfect host. Welcoming, informative and proud of the family's condo. Much to be proud of. Perfect view, very comfortable and the layout takes advantage of viewing the splendors that God gave us on the Napoli Coast. Well equipped and well taken care of.

This place is absolutely amazing! Views, amenities, hospitality, etc was all top notch. Everything you can possibly need in the kitchen was provided. Additionally, boogie boards, snorkeling gear, towels, beach chairs, umbrella were all provided. If we come back to Kauai we're staying here for sure!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Princeville. The host Keith showed tremendous hospitality and provided numerous recommendations for restaurants, activities, beaches, etc. The condo is on a cliff with a gorgeous view, and there is beach access below via steep trail. We can't wait to return!

Spring Break in Kauai
Loved the location and all the amenities. Made great use of the BBQ on the lanai, the boogie boards and beach towels, and the well stocked kitchen. Thanks for an excellent stay!
My husband and 2 teenage sons spent a few days here before Christmas and it was truly magical! The owner checked in multiple times and was very responsive. The size of this property and attention to details such as having stocked cooking staples, laundry detergent, games etc. made it feel like a home away from home. We loved staying here and hope to be back in the future!

Our stay at this location was amazing. The home was super clean and included so many amenities like snorkel gear, toiletries, even some pantry items for easy cooking. The view from the lanai outside was one of the best we had all during our visit to Kauai. The host was incredibly helpful and attentive.

About the host
Hosted by Keith C
My wife and I have been married 30 years. We split our time between Kauai and the Bay Area and have twin 26-year old sons (and a new daughter-in-law). One is a grad student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and the other works as an engineer for an aerospace company in Southern California. I’m a retired software executive and now own my own consulting company (which I do part-time). We are very close as a family and love adventure-type travel. I’m an active water skier, snow skier, hiker, runner, scuba diver, and many other active sports. We have a strong faith in God and value strongly our reputation and integrity.
Why they chose this property
We’ve traveled to Kauai probably 20-30 times over the last 25 years. We’re adventurers, as such we love hiking, snorkeling, exploring, golf, photography, and all the other wonderful-ness that Kauai has to offer. We also love coming back (at the end of a long day) to a nice place for a glass of wine and a sunset. We’ve stayed at the St. Regis (now the “1 Hotel Hanalei Bay"), Westin, Grand Hyatt, Koa Kea, and many other hotels … but our favorite place to stay has always been Puu Poa. We’ve dreamed of owning a Puu Poa unit for years and this recently became a reality when we bought Puu Poa 111 from the previous owner who loving maintained this home for many years. For us, this is a second home as well as a luxury vacation rental for our guests to enjoy.
What makes this property unique
We love the ground floor location, allowing our guests to walk right out onto the grass. It has the benefit of a ground floor unit with the incredible view that the Puu Pua complex enjoys. We particularly enjoy that it's one of the few units that has a view of the sunset and Bali Hai!
