Welcome to Hale `Ikena Kai ("home of mystical ocean") at Pali Ke Kua, a unique home vacation experience on Kauai’s stunning North Shore!
This intimate one-bedroom condo at Pali Ke Kua is perched high on the Princeville ocean bluff and offers jaw-dropping 180-degree views of the Pacific, Hanalei Bay and waterfall-laced mountains that will literally take your breath away. It's the ideal place to relax and unwind but also centrally located to many nearby activities. The condo is fully furnished and adorned with everything you could possibly need for a carefree vacation.
Ikena Kai has unobstructed, expansive ocean views from just about every room and the lanai, and is one of the most beautiful vacation home rentals on the tropically-lush park-like Pali Ke Kua property.
As a ground-floor end unit, this condo has travertine-style porcelain tiles in the living area, Bose SoundTouch WiFi music system, 65" Samsung Smart TV in the living room, Quartz countertops, GE and Samsung stainless steel appliances, new Sealy Posturpedic Plus Cal-King mattress, premium sheets and linens, a new washer + dryer and laundry products for our guests' use. A/C units are available in both the bedroom and the main living area to keep you comfortable when Hawaii's trade winds take a break. Ceiling and floor fans in each room help keep the A/C or trade winds circulate throughout the condo, giving you ease of comfort on those warm tropical days.
With the ocean bluff a mere 20 feet from our lanai, you have front row seats to watch the waves and sea life, smell the flora of Paradise and listen to the surf while sipping coffee, enjoying wine and nibbles while the sun sets or kicking back in our brand new lounge chairs.
A beautiful private swimming pool and hot tub for guests of Pali Ke Kua is a stone throw's away - as well as a paved path on the property, winding down to the ocean and an intimate beach, perfect for snorkeling and swimming. A large private parking lot provides plenty of free parking near the condo as well. And Hideaways Pizza Pub, a full-scale restaurant is on the property for easy dine-in or take-out dinners.
Start your day with a breakfast of fresh fruits grown by local farmers. Then, stroll through our lush tropical vegetation as you use our private paved path to visit the magnificent golden-sand swimming-snorkeling-surfing Hideaways Beach with sparkling blue and emerald water. Fall asleep to the sound of the surf or watch the (seasonal) whales, turtles and dolphins swim just outside your lanai. As the day ends, take a moment to admire nightly gorgeous sunsets from that precious 180-degree view. Then, enjoy dining at Hideaways Pizza Pub , Pali Ke Kua's onsite restaurant or at one of a few nearby restaurants at the recently-opened 1-Hotel Hanalei. If staying in sounds better, cook your own meal in our well-appointed kitchen. Throughout your stay, you will find everything you need at the Princeville Shopping Center, less than 2 miles up the road or take a stroll up a paved walking path to the center. When you feel like exploring, take a short drive to one of the many exquisite beaches along Kauai’s North Shore - Ke'e and Tunnels are just a few favorites north of Princeville. 7 minutes down the hill, just north of Princeville is the iconic beach town of Hanalei, or 10 minutes the opposite direction - enjoy shopping and dining in Kilauea town after swimming with the Honu (sea turtles) at Anini Beach (between Princeville and Kilauea).
Guests of Pali Ke Kua will enjoy a spacious private parking lot nearby the unit, free of charge.

Wife and I had a great stay. Host was awesome, and listing was accurate. The views from the property were breathtaking especially during sunset. The beach on site was large, naturally canopied, and secluded, felt like a private island at times.

Mahalo, Eric! I'm so glad you enjoyed the "private island". So many quiet intimate nook/beaches in Princeville that finding them is a prize in and of itself. Happy to hear you enjoyed those sunset views too. Hard to beat! Come back again, anytime. Much aloha to you and yours.
Our stay was excellent! The condo was clean and well maintained. Each night we sat on the patio and watched the sun set over the ocean. Very nice area. Would highly recommend!

Mahalo, Kevin and Ali. It was our pleasure to host you guys on your honeymoon. Congrats again! Happy to hear you enjoyed those striking sunsets from the comfort of our lanai. Please come back again. Much Aloha to you both.
Our hosts were so thoughtful and generous. There was a hand-written card and a bag of locally roasted coffee. Their activity suggestions were great and they even had bandaids on hand ( it’s the little details sometimes). We highly recommend this property!

The condo was clean and modern. The A/C in the bedroom worked very well for the August heat. Location was perfect, close enough to restaurants but far from crowded streets and traffic. Will definitely stay again!

Perfect setting, beach access is a fairly easy walk and feels almost private . Accommodation had everything we needed, comfortable and the view is spectacular. We had breakfast on the lanai every morning and evening sunsets. Great communication from hosts. Would love to return.

Mahalo, Barry. We sure hope you return too! Happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at our home. Sounds like you made the most of the lanai - which we happen to think is one of the best sunset viewing seats on island. :) Enjoy the rest of your summer! Aloha to you both.
We had such a great stay here! The views were unbeatable and the unit was very clean and as described. We love the proximity to a few of our favorite beaches on the North Shore. Check In/Out was easy and great communication from the host as well as recommendations on what to do. We can’t wait to be back!

About the host
Hosted by Anne & George, Honu Aloha Properties
Since our first visit to Kauai's north shore in 2004, we were hooked. Every year since that first visit, we’ve come and stayed in Princeville, marking the charming and beautiful north shore “our happy place”. Aside from Kauai, we love to travel the world - always picking a different country or area to explore, embracing the culture, meeting new people, enjoying the local fare. But Kauai is the one constant in our travels every year - the combination of its natural beauty with the pristine Pacific blue, emerald green mountains and majestic Bali Hai, white sandy beaches, rainbow-kissed skies and breath-taking sunsets make it one of the most unique places in the world. Our primary residence is CA wine country where we tend an organic olive orchard and try to keep up with 2 big, adorable mutts. We enjoy good wine, good food, the good life - and most importantly, sharing it all with friends and family. Now we are thrilled to share our happiest place with new and old friends alike -- perhaps that's you? Having spent many nights in various vacation rental homes around the world, we put careful thought and energy into making our homes the most comfortable respite filled with Aloha especially for our guests.
Why they chose this property
Pali Ke Kua is a beautifully-landscaped, park-like property spread out on a large ocean bluff. The colorful, lush flora and fauna, combined with the blue Pacific ocean, crashing waves and green mountains of Hanalei (Bali Hai) in the distance make it a pleasantly delightful sight to behold. Each building is only two floors with Ikena Kai being on the ground floor, no stairs to navigate. Our unit is in a smaller building with only 3 other units, making it an end-unit with panoramic ocean and lush garden views from all sides.
What makes this property unique
Ikena Kai, Pali Ke Kua #120 is a uniquely refined and intimate suite on a large ocean bluff with panoramic views of the Bali Hai, mountains, and Pacific Ocean from just about every room as well as the outdoor private lanai. Watch from your lanai as seasonal humpback whales and their young breach, spinning dolphins playing in the surf, sea turtles (Honu) cruising the ocean floor, Albatross, red-breasted cardinals, Nenes (HI state bird) and other indigenous birds fly right outside your window and sailboats serenely pass by in the distance. The colorful sun sets just outside your lanai making it a most glorious light show and picture perfect moment every evening. Within easy walking distance from the condo are several activities for you to enjoy: Hideaways Beach directly below the unit, Puu Poa Beach (below Princeville Resort), Queens Bath, Makai Golf Course, Clubhouse & Cafe, Hideaways Pizza Pub, and Happy Talk Restaurant and Sports Bar (at Hanalei Bay Resort).
