About this property

Hanalei Bay Villas #12, Waterfall and Ocean Views, walk to beach and One Hotel

This lovely Hanalei Bay vacation rental home, is a classic Hawaiian style pole house - suspended on poles and giving the house fabulous circulation from the cooling ocean breezes. The location and the views are unbeatable for a relaxing beach vacation. From nearly every room in the house you can see Kawaikini and the stunning Makana ridge (also known as Bali Ha'i), these mountains are often flowing with beautiful waterfalls and we have a bird's eye view of the third green of the Makai golf course.

This three bedroom villa is located walking distance to nearly everything you want to do in Hawaii - from surfing, snorkeling, golf, lovely walks and paddle boarding. The One Hotel and the Princeville headland, are less than 100 meters from the Villa. The fun and funky town of Hanalei is about a ten minute drive from the villa.

The famous Prince golf course is also less than 10 minute drive from the villa. The Prince is ranked as Golf Digest’s #1 Golf Course in Hawaii and one of America’s Top 100 Greatest Courses.

A designated parking place is only steps away from our front door.

Hike the Kalalau trail, snorkel Ke'e or Tunnels - you are only a short drive away! Hideaways, the best snorkeling on the island, in my opinion , is right across the road from our house, a five minute walk. Unsurpassed sunsets over Bali Ha'i may be enjoyed nightly from the ocean bluff just a three minute walk up the road.

This lovely villa has an open plan living room, dining area and kitchen with fabulous high vaulted ceilings and sliding glass doors leading out to a lanai - the perfect place for you to enjoy everything from your morning coffee to evening cocktails while you watch the sunset.

The living and dining room are very comfortable and there is a flat screen TV with cable.

The kitchen has granite counter tops and is extremely well equipped, much more like a home than a vacation rental, perfect for preparing great meals for friends and family. The whole of this upstairs area has dramatic views of Makana Ridge, Hanalei Bay and the Makana golf course. There is a half bath on this floor. You can enjoy both sunrise and sunsets from the home's two private lanais.

There are three bedrooms downstairs. The master bedroom has a California king bed, TV, ensuite master bathroom and a private lanai, with more of the same beautiful views of the bay, the Makai golf course and mountain waterfalls. The second bedroom has a queen bed and more beautiful views of the mountains, golf course and Hanalei Bay. The third bedroom has 2 twin beds, and just like the other bedrooms, it has beautiful views of the mountains and golf course. Bedroom 2 & 3 share a bathroom. The twin room has a chest of drawers for clothing, and shares a bath with the queen bedroom.

Island motif is felt throughout the home along with great circulation from all sides of the villa, which helps to catch the island breezes on those warm days and nights.

Awesome property

We had a great time staying at this property for our first of many trips to Kauai! The host was very responsive when we needed to alter our check out plans for convenience. What did we enjoy most? Location was ideal, walk to very nice beach, lots of windows for immaculate views, overlooks par 3 of local golf course, well equipped inside. Pizza at nearby Hanalei Bay Resort restaurant was good with amazing views. Short walk to Hanalei 1 hotel for good food/drink.

Magic in Kauai

Amazing stay at the villa for my 3 step kids in their 20s and 15 year old son. Location was perfect - beautiful views and right across the street from beautiful Hideaways Beach. Rooster wake up calls were included! For us - villa was perfect - plenty of room for us and loved the Hawaiian flavor!

Great Location.

We really enjoyed this house in Princeville. It’s a perfect location with great views and close to everything on the North Shore. The house is showing its age and could use some updates, but is still quite nice. The property managers were wonderful about responding to any questions or concerns. We would definitely stay here again.,

A view to dream for

Location at the end of the road was perfect, walk to two different beaches and the view from the lanai was constantly amazing and ever changing against the high Hawaiian mountains and Hanalei Bay. Trade wind breezes kept the home refreshing and the separate levels for bedrooms and living made the space comfortably accommodating.

Excellent!

Perfect place for our trip. View of the mountains and the bay from the back deck was magic. Saw 45+ minute long rainbows almost every morning while eating breakfast, some of which were double rainbows. Place was comfortable, clean, super convenient, and has kitchen that's better equipped than your typical VRBO. Less than 5 minute walk to Hideaways was a bonus, as that was our overall favorite beach of the trip due to availability of shade, good snorkling (saw massive turtles!) and views down the coast. Would stay here again for sure.

Breathtaking view

This is a very nice property on the north shore of Kauai just outside Hanalei. There is beach access just across the street following a short hike down a trail and food within walking distance. The view from the master bedroom and living room is absolutely breathtaking. One of our favorite things to do was to sit on the lanai and enjoy the peaceful scenery. The only negative I would have is that there is no air conditioner. It gets a little warm in the late afternoon and early evening, but there was usually a slight breeze and there are plenty of fans. I would definitely recommend for your stay in Kauai.

Paradise!

We had a marvelous stay in the detached town house. As soon as we walked into the living room we were impacted by the gorgeous view from the lanai! And every window had an interesting view, very bright. his home enhances the feeling that you are in one of the most beautiful places on earth, truly a tropical paradise! Everyday we walked to a great snorkeling spot, Hideaway beach. Also at walking distance though further away is Queen's Bath where we saw huge turtles. The house is just what the owners represent it to be and more. It's very well laid out with a lot of nice details, more than enough space for 4 adults. It had a nicely equipped kitchen for our needs. They have beach and snorkeling gear; we borrowed the short fins. A car is needed to venture out and explore. Hanalei Bay is only 10 minutes away where one can take a boat tour or rent padleboards, etc. There are several good restaurants to pick from. It was a wonderful vacation. We hope to return in the near future!

Amazing Location!

Book this place now if it's available! Everything the reviews say and more. The house is beautiful; the views breathtaking. Our family of 4 was very comfortable. Any issues that might be mentioned in prior reviews were no longer present for us. The kitchen was well-equipped. We anticipated issues with the roosters, but actually it was the golf course lawnmowers that woke us up more often. The roosters seem happy to stay quiet until those lawnmowers start up each morning. FYI - yes beach access is right across the street but no one is exaggerating when they say it's a steep downhill access. And we are fairly fit! Worth it for sure, but be prepared. There were some afternoons when we just didn't have the energy and decided to hang on the lanai. There are worse ways to spend an afternoon. Hanalei is a cute town, but be prepared for traffic and very little parking. The service was great, but sometimes we just opted to find food in the Princeville plaza just up the road. Our stay was way to short!!

Ferfect place but bad administration

A very beautiful place. Magnificent view from the window. The house is equipped with everything necessary. It's close to the beach, but you need to go down and walk up the stairs. There were significant shortcomings. Firstly, we moved into the house without cleaning and I couldn’t reach anyone for several hours. After the long flight, tired, we were forced to resolve the issue of cleaning. This greatly spoiled the first impression of the vacation. Then the cleaners came, but it was inconvenient because we had already brought all our things. Further. The washer did not work during the entire period of our stay there, which in itself was extremely inconvenient. The owner promised a compensation of $200 for this, but never sent a refund. The house is full of ants. I understand that this is a tropical island and they live there too. However, in Maui or Oahu we did not have such problems in our houses. Possibly because the owner processed the property

Beautiful Home, Fantastic Views, Great Location...... Just Amazing!!!

My girls and I stayed at Villa for almost two weeks over Thanksgiving and the home had everything we needed and more!! The best part was this house is it is free standing!!! No sharing walls, windows all around with views everywhere!! This house is a pole house that you walk into the top story with the back of the house being two stories plus up, giving you the best views from the living room and master bedroom. You are above all the trees, believe me, the pictures don't give the house and views justice !! The kitchen was very well set up for all our cooking needs. We stayed in and cook almost every night, we even made a Thanksgiving feast!! :) We enjoyed sunrises and sunsets from the private deck and the St. Regis bluff, a very short walk away. The home also had beach chairs, snorkel equipment, boogie boards and other fun toys for us to use. Well stocked home for a great vacation. The views from the decks are amazing! It only rained on the last two days of our two week stay, but the rain brought out rainbows and the waterfalls. The girls counted 27 of them from the deck. Again, it is amazing to watch these mountains, very hard to leave the view!! Bonus, you can also see this view from the master bed! :) Thank you for sharing this beautiful home with us. Hope to be back next year.

Fantastic location

We had an amazing time at this house. Everything was exactly as listed in the description. The house is situated in a great spot on the North Shore, which was our base camp for all sorts of great hiking all over the island. Our family of four had plenty of room and hot water, and all the appliances worked great. The washer dryer was a definite plus, and the kitchen had everything, and more, that you would need to cook meals. The house was stocked with boogie boards, chairs, umbrella and cooler, which made beach days at Hanalei beach fantastic. The owner was super responsive to questions, and had some great suggestions on hikes and local attractions. The house is right across the street from an amazing beach, and both kids learned to surf on the East side of Hanalei beach next to the pier. Shout out to Hanalei Surf shop for the board rental and ideas on where to go to learn. The owner recommended picking up a copy of The ultimate Kauai Guidebook by Andrew Doughy, and it was a great find. We also bought his island audio tour which provided a pretty great self guided tour. The only downside to the house was no ac, which didn't matter for most of the trip, but the last two hot and humid days with no breeze was pretty warm. Also, our biggest negative surprise with the North Shore was how expensive and how bad the restaurants were- $150-200 a night for dinners for four that were 2 star. We only tried 3 places but still. Poke bowls at Foodland and home cooking saved the day however.

Unbeatable Location and Views

The views and the location are the best in Princeville! I chose this rental for its location and it did NOT disappoint! Down at the end of the road, we had easy access to Hideaway Beach, which has unbeatable clarity for snorkeling during calm weather. If you are able, the trek down to the beach is absolutely worthwhile, just make sure your shoes have good grip and hold on to the rope! If that sort of trek isn’t your thing, we also had walking distance to Pu’u Poa Beach which had paved steps going down to another lovely beach. The views. I cannot believe the beauty we had out of every window! The Lanai faces the mountains and part of Hanalei Bay. Incredible to look at during any time of day, and we saw rainbows every single day. The space. The house was clean and had great amenities! We loved the bench at the door for removing and storing shoes so we didn’t track sand and mud through the house. There is no AC, but once you open up the shutters, the wind passes through the house and it’s quite comfortable. This does mean hearing birds/roosters/chickens/cats at early hours of the morning, but don’t let that disturb you. The beds were not at all firm, but still comfortable. Overall a fantastic stay! It has ruined every other location for me, because where else can I get these views and easy access to Hideaway Beach? I completely recommend this rental house. Thank you for sharing your space with us!

Great location in Princeville! Beautiful views of the lush green mountains from the balconies! We also enjoyed watching golf players attempting their par 3 on the nearby golf course. Walking distance to Hideaways beach and 1 Hotel for fancier dinners. Kitchen is fully equipped. Quick 5 minute drive to Foodland grocery store and 10 min drive to Hanalei Bay town with plenty of dining and shopping options. Rooms were perfect and the washer and dryer were very handy. An AC would have been the cherry on top but the fans made it manageable on warmer nights. Highly recommended!

Great location. Walkable to several things. Certainly warm when it rains and the humidity is high (no a/c) but fine as soon as it stops raining. I know having snorkel gear is just a bonus, but was very disappointed when we hiked to tunnels beach and only realized once we were there that the snorkel gear was defective. Beach chairs and umbrella were great!

About the host

Hosted by Lynda English-Bervid

Host profile image
The homeowner is a highly regarded general contractor at Lake Tahoe.

Why they chose this property

The homeowner wanted a well built, free-standing home. He loved the 'pole house' idea, which allowed great ventilation and a tree house feel, and was captivated by the amazing panoramic views of both Hanalei Bay along with the stunning waterfalls in the ridge lines of Makana Ridge. He also wanted to be able to walk to beaches, bars and restaurants. Having the ability to walk from the house to go surfing, swimming and paddleboarding was a huge attraction.

What makes this property unique

Being owned by a builder who often stays at the property, this property is well maintained and is continually being updated.
