About the host
Hosted by Deborah Taubenheim
After many trips to Hawaii since the 80's We made the vacation home dream a reality in 1998. All it took were the views from lanai and we were sold. We currently live in Seattle with our 3 dachshund children. Living a relatively short distance away means that we can make many trips there for both vacationing and being a hands-on owner. We want our guests to have the same experience we wanted in our many years of renting. Our (human) children were only 10 and 12 when we purchased and they've enjoyed many long stays at Nihi Kai over the years - testament to the fact that Kauai is for children too. The owners, Deborah & Peter
Why they chose this property
We prefer to stay in the more mature 'Hawaiian feel' properties with large units, mature and lush landscaping and of the Hawaiian Plantation style architecture. Nihi Kai Villas fit this description. The views and the location, ocean view heated pool, and walking distance to beaches and amenities made Nihi Kai Villas 833 our top choice.
What makes this property unique
Full air conditioning, views, location, updated decor, heated pool, private and home-like feel are all benefits offered at 833 Nihi Kai. We've provided a unique bedding arrangement in the second bedroom making our unit great for 2 adult couples, children of different ages, grandparents or nannies!
Master bedroom: King bed
Second bedroom: 1 Twin bed and...... 1 Queen bed
