About this property
Experience the Island Paradise of Kauai's North Shore from Above the Treetops
This spacious, newly renovated second floor unit provides unique, breathtaking views of South Pacific against the backdrop of mesmerizing, romantic sunsets behind Bali' Hai' from your front porch.
The rear balcony offers equally spectacular views of Hanalei Bay, with waterfalls gently cascading into the green lush rainforest of the world famous Na Pali Coast. Because you are above the tall tree tops, you get the sense that you are in your very own Tree House! It is the perfect place for a romantic Honeymoon, family vacation, or just a special get-away. Literally, across the street, is the perfect location to catch the seasonal whale migration and the big surf of Kauai's famed North Shore. You can take one of three paths to three different Beaches, including Hideaways Beach, Secret Beach, or the beach at Hanalei Bay at the base of The St. Regis Hotel. All offer safe snorkeling areas where you can enjoy colorful marine life with complimentary snorkel gear provided with the studio apartment. Beach chairs and beach towels are also provided to our guests. There is free off street parking steps from the front door. There is also free Wi-Fi and landline long distance telephone service to the US Mainland and Canada. There is a cable HDTV, DVD player, and CD player.
This unit has recently been completely renovated with the assistance of a professional decorator and designer to give it that genuine old Hawaiian look that is clean and inviting. The 20' ceilings give a sense of spacious openness typical of traditional Polynesian homes. My most recent addition is a brand new 14" Plush Pillow Top Queen Mattress, with 4" of Pillow Top for a well-deserved good night's sleep after a day of island activities. I have also added a new powerful 15,000 BTU window A/C unit for those rare warm days.
The studio has a kitchenette with a Wet Bar and a full-size refrigerator/freezer, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, a 12-cup coffee pot, an Air Fryer, Crock Pot, blender, toaster, and place settings for four guests. However, please note that there is NO OVEN or STOVE TOP. The unit is designed primarily for heating up leftovers and light snacks. If you run a Google Search of this address (5301 Ka Haku Road, Princeville), it will display Side 1 only (which has a Full Kitchen). That is VRBO Property # 253851. Google will not display THIS Side 2 of the duplex. So, please do NOT rely upon a Google Search for this unit since Google cannot distinguish between Side 1 and Side 2. I mention this to avoid any confusion.
For the convenience of guest staying several days, I recently installed a small combo washer/dryer unit in the bathroom closet. It is designed for light loads only, and is quiet and clean. Because it is NOT vented, please allow anywhere between 2 to 3 hours drying time. You can set it for Wash Cycle AND Dry Cycle at one time, and simply leave for the day as it will automatically switch from "Wash" to "Dry" on its own. An Instructional Sheet is taped to the top of the unit itself.
The bathroom has also been completely modernized with new granite tile, cabinetry, granite counter tops, and a vessel sink. A hair dryer, iron, and ironing board is also provided.
This unit sleeps up to four guests with a queen bed (with the new pillow top mattress) and a queen Futon couch. The unit has a window AC unit as well as two new remote control ceiling fans for those rare warm days.
Do you need more room? Please see my HomeAway Property #253851 for Side 1 of this duplex which can sleep an additional six guests. Side 1 is a larger unit with a loft. It has a FULL kitchen has been recently remodeled with all new modern major appliances, cabinets, granite counter tops, deep well sink with a garbage disposal, and other convenient amenities. The kitchen is fully equipped to prepare meals. There is a new stackable washer/dryer behind closed doors.
That unit (Side 1) sleeps up to six guests with a king bed, a queen sleeper sofa, and two twin beds in the loft area which is easily accessible with a newly designed staircase. The unit has window AC unit as well as two new remote control ceiling fans for those rare warm days. Side 1 rents for $ 235.00 per night, plus applicable tax of 13.42% and a Maid Service Cleaning fee of $175.00.
You can rent just one side or both, depending on the number of guest in your party.
Gentle, cool trade winds off the South Pacific, complimented with your private views of the Mountains, Bali’ Hai’, and Hanalei Bay will leave you with lasting memories of The Garden Isle. Come and allow yourself to be pampered in what is truly Paradise.
As a seasoned traveler myself, the condo has been specially appointed with every amenity and convenience to make your vacation truly stress free. No unnecessary trips to the store to buy things for your stay. All is provided, just bring your sunscreen and Mai Tai mix.
Of the dozens of countries and hundreds of towns and villages I have traveled to in the world, none compares to the sheer natural beauty of the North Shore of Kauai. Come to relax…and be pampered…you deserve it!

The place itself was great and the views were incredible. Some of the best views you can get right from the lanai. You can cross the street and watch a gorgeous sunset over the ocean or you can watch the sunset against the mountains from the lanai, which we preferred. We came back around 6 PM each night and had no issue finding parking in a Permit spot. You're within walking distance of 1Hotel for food and drinks if you want to splurge a little. We would definitely stay here again!
This was our second stay at this specific Vrbo and we absolutely loved it! Great location for access to all things on the North Shore side of Kauai. Would recommend!
Great location, across the street from beautiful lookout and 5 minute walk to great cafe/ restaurant. Close to Princeville shopping center, and to Hanalei. Easy access to entire North Shore. Only complaint was there was no stove or oven. We hadn’t noticed that in the listing, so eating out every meal. Toaster was broken, but plenty of room in the fridge.
This is a very comfortable rental in an excellent location...near a few amazing beaches within walking distance. Lovely treetop view from the back balcony.
Wonderful stay in PrincevilleWe haven’t spent much time on this side of the island in the 20 years we’ve been coming to Kauai We have friends there and like the quieter slower pace of the west side but our timing for this trip was perfect as it was a fairly quiet easy week walking and beach hopping to some of the most beautiful beaches and best food trucks the island has to offerComing back to our bungalow was always a treat It was comfy clean and wonderfully relaxing especially sitting on the balcony with the mountainous views from the back and the beach views from the front with the sound of waves crashing to lull you to sleep at nightA very special place!Will definitely return
It was very difficult to find the unit, it was very confusing , we spent 1 hour searching ,wifi was always disconnecting and my cell network was very bad , it's very frustrating as we wanted to plan our next days of our trip
It was a short stay but this property and location in Princeville was perfect for us celebrating our honeymoon. There was only one occasion in which the “permit” spaces in the parking lot were all taken, but it wasn’t a big deal because we weren’t there long. I loved the walking distance to Hideaways Beach, a must-do! So beautiful for sunset, not packed, and we saw sea turtles snorkeling there! The condo had everything we needed minus a working washer/dryer, but it was ok since we were there a short time. The views from the lanai are beautiful and relaxing. I would recommend this property and stay here again!
Really enjoyed our stay here! Great location in Princeville, which made it convenient to get to the local shops and restaurants and also Hanalei Bay. Clean, quiet and comfortable. Boogie boards were great to have provided for us! Would stay here again!

About the host
Hosted by Jim Nicholas
Originally from Philadelphia, followed by Law School in Chicago, I have lived in sunny Florida for the past 31 years, and have been blessed with the opportunity to travel the world many times over, and although I have experienced, first hand, the beauty and adventure of many foreign lands, nothing in my travels compares to the North Shore of Kauai. It is, by far, the most beautiful, exotic, and romantic place on earth...a place where the landscape seems almost unreal...a place where one can truly find a piece of Heaven, right here on earth.
Why they chose this property
Hale Moi is conveniently located directly across from Hideaways Beach and the whale watching area...a place to enjoy the spectacular sunsets behind Bali Hi'. This second floor duplex is fully equipped with all the amenities and conveniences of modern living, nestled between the ocean and mountains, with full vistas of both. Truly, the best of both worlds.
What makes this property unique
The unit was recently completely remodeled with all new bathroom tile, cabinets, vessel sink, a compact washer/dryer in the bathroom closet, a fully equipped Kitchenette with a full size Frig/Frezer, microwave, coffee pot, toaster, blender, and a Wet Bar with a garbage disposal. Brand new Pillow Top Queen Size mattress for a good nights sleep after a full day of exploring The Garden Island.
