This hidden gem sits on the ridge above the Hanalei Valley on Kauai's tropical North Shore. Enjoy amazing mountain, waterfall, rainbow and valley views from every window. Situated to take advantage of the island's trade winds this beautifully furnished classic Hawaiian home has 2 bedrooms (king/queen beds); 2 full baths; quality linens; hardwood bamboo flooring; no air conditioning but ceiling fans in every room; full size washer/dryer; large well-equipped kitchen; beach towels and more.... A perfect vacation retreat & ideal base for exploring, surfing, swimming and hiking!
A 5 minute drive to beautiful Hanalei Bay with it's world-renowned stretch of golden sand beach. For surfers & the adventurous, the beach is a one mile walk away along a well-maintained path through a park-like setting with unsurpassed views of the Bay. Enjoy big wave surfing in winter, and small, rolling waves in summer. The historic town of Hanalei is a perfect place for strolling, dining and browsing through shops. There is also a fish market, shave ice, smoothie and juice bars.
This Hanalei Hideaway is in a small complex of 20 townhouses surrounded by tropical foliage and estate homes on large properties. Only one wall adjoins the neighboring unit so you are steps away from tropical gardens on 3 sides. It is nestled away from the main highway but close to shopping, restaurants, and the beach. The neighborhood is exceptionally clean, safe and quiet and on the edge of Princeville Resort that sits atop the bluffs overlooking the ocean and Hanalei Valley.
On the ground floor is a kitchen, dining area, living room, lanai, bathroom and washer/dryer. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a bathroom. Small private yards in front and back of the home are part of the well manicured landscape. Lush tropical foliage can be viewed from every window. The newly renovated 27-hole Makai´ Golf Course, tennis courts and Princeville Shopping Center, with the only major grocery store on the North Shore, are close by.

Bungalow Condo quiet and secluded in 10 unit complex, minutes walk from the most beautiful view in Kauai at Nourish Hanalei. Was well stocked with kitchen utensils etc for a week stay as family of 4

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review!
We’re so glad you enjoyed the quiet, secluded feel of the bungalow and that the location worked so well for you. Being just minutes from the incredible views near Nourish Hanalei really is something special, and we’re happy you were able to take advantage of it.
It’s also great to hear the kitchen was well stocked and comfortable for your week-long stay — especially hosting a big family gathering! That’s exactly what we hope for.
We’d love to welcome you all back anytime for another Kauai getaway 🌺
Lovely condo in a cool location, not in the main part of Princeville but a little closer to Hanalei in a spot that feels more tucked back into the rainforest. Nice and clean, beach chairs, towels, cooler and umbrellas provided. Great beds & pillows. Comfortable accommodations except the bathrooms desperately need to be remodeled/updated. Downstairs toilet configuration makes it so if you are taller than average you have to straddle the bowl or sit sideways. Good and quick communication with property management company who showed up immediately to replace a coffee maker that wasn’t working and help with tv questions.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We're so glad you enjoyed the condo's peaceful location, the extra beach amenities, and the comfort of the beds and pillows. It’s great to hear that our team was able to respond quickly and assist with the coffee maker and TV, we always aim to be as responsive and helpful as possible.
We also really appreciate your honest feedback regarding the bathrooms. We recognize that updates are needed, and it's something we're actively working on as we continue to improve the space for future guests.
Thanks again for staying with us, we’d love to host you again anytime you're back in Kauai!
This is a really nice place. Extremely quiet. I don’t think we ever heard another neighbor. But the place needs an AC. I spent two sweaty nights trying to fall asleep and it was miserable. Especially in the master bedroom. It took hours to cool the house down and sometimes it wasn’t cool enough outside for that to happen until the wee hours of the morning. I was also really bummed that there was no coffee. The worst after a night with no sleep.
Not much more to say other than it was a great stay! Close to a grocery store which was nice and the house was clean and well stocked with kitchen items to make meals.

We loved our time at Hale Honu ! The location was great, only a short drive to many beaches and around the Cnr from supermarket and shops. The kitchen facilities were fantastic !

Nice location and beautiful beaches nearby.
I was just concerned that the listing was advertised as a two-bedroom unit, which was accurate in terms of sleeping space, but one of the bedrooms was locked and this made us uncomfortable, as we didn’t know what was behind the locked door. While the rest of the stay was generally fine, not disclosing this in advance felt misleading and affected our sense of safety and trust. Transparency is important, and I hope the host updates the listing to clarify this detail for future guests.
We love staying at this property. It is our second time and it was just as nice the second time. It is clean and in a great location. The owners are available at any time and give great suggestions for activities and food on the island.
Loved staying in this comfortable 2 bed 2 bath home. Great accommodations in beach and snorkel gear! The road closure was not too disruptive for us during our stay in June 2021
This was a great stay! Nice location in Princeville with plenty of stores nearby, and then 10 minutes away from Hanalei Bay. View of the mountains from the main bedroom every morning and had just about everything we needed for beach days. Definitely would stay again!
The place was very clean, cozy and have everything that a family needs to have a very good time.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
When we arrived, inside and outside the unit smelled like urine. May have been the cat wandering around. Inside the unit most of the time it smelled unpleasant either because of garbage from the last people, the laundry machine, or just staleness since there is no AC and all the furniture is very old/worn. The main level toilet is too cramped for an adult to use comfortably. There were a lot of items in the unit that were worn or broken - no handle on microwave, kitchen table very worn, kitchen faucet handle broken, screen not attached, burnet out fan light in spare bedroom, burnt out light in upper bathroom, broken kitchen cabinet, dirty oven burners, and area that had not been cleaned (stuff behind the living room table). The traffic noise along the road was also pretty constant between 5am-midnight. We will likely stay elsewhere next time.

Awesome!
We loved our stay. The location was great, a 7 minute drive to the town of Hanalei. We will definitely be back!
This was perfect for our family. Near the main highway and only a few minutes from Hanalei. The beds were comfortable and the all the items that we could possibly have needed were included in the home. We would definitely stay here again
We’ll appointed.. beautifully decorated! Love that beach chairs were provided!
