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 with Whale Watching 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 Napali 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 Hideaway’s 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 snorkel gear provided with each studio apartment. Beach chairs and beach towels are also provided to our guests. There is free reserved, permitted off-street parking steps from the front door. There is also free Wi-Fi and land line long distance telephone service to the US Mainland and Canada. There is a wall mounted 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 gives a sense of spacious openness typical of traditional Polynesian homes. The unit was just furnished with a brand new, super comfy deep plush King Mattress and high thread count linens for a comfortable night's sleep after exploring the Island. I have also just installed a brand new 15,000 BTU window A/C unit for extra comfort.

The FULL kitchen has also been recently remodeled with all new major appliances, cabinets, granite countertops, 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.

The bathroom has also been completely modernized with new granite tile, cabinetry, granite countertops, and vessel sink. A hairdryer, iron, and ironing board is also provided.

This unit 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 a new powerful 15,000 BTU 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 #3957852 for Side 2 of this duplex which can sleep an additional four adults. Side 2 is smaller and perfect for a couple, but sleeps up to 4 guest. It has a kitchenette with a full size refrigerator/freezer, microwave, coffee pot, blender, toaster, and wet bar, including a garbage disposal. Perfect for preparing breakfast and light snacks.

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!

Ocean access condo

Clean, comfortable, and close to the ocean! We couldn’t ask for better. Easy walk to see the ocean or wake up early (before 7am) and get one of 10 public spots to go to the beach. Otherwise, easy drive to hiking and other beaches. Enjoy!

Perfect Location

We had a short, but amazing stay. This property was walkable to some great snorkeling spots (with sea turtles) and very well located for the north side of the island. Our two boys loved the loft bedroom and we found everything we needed at the property. We will stay here again next time we visit Princeville.

Beautiful location!

We were shocked at how beautiful the location of this place is!! My husband’s favorite part was the overlook just in front of the place where people would gather at sunset and just chat! We saw two full rainbows and many whale sightings! It is close to three beaches but none of them are easy to get to. The kitchen is g rest, the beach toys and chairs are great. The beach towels are awful! They get lint all over you! Overall this place was fantastic! We even saw Albatross on the golf course. So amazing!! very easy to get to!

I like the high ceiling of the sleeping area / living area because we are only 2 people. We don't need the sleeping sofa. The back yard has a lot of trees. You can watch from inside the different birds flying from trees to balcony.

Great stay in Princeville

Great apartment for a stay on the north shore. We particularly appreciated the washer/dryer and beach towels. We couldn’t get the tv to work (but that may well have been our problem!) and we struggled a bit to keep the upstairs cool, but would recommend!

Adequate for our needs but a bit out of the way

Reasonable accommodations for the cleaning fee they charge you should not have to wash towels, take out trash and other. Also some basic needs were empty. No sugar, coffee filter box empty. Nice prettiest part of the island to stay. But out of the way for allot of things to do.

Great location!

Really loved staying at this condo. Great to be across the street from the sunset park, easy walk to the beaches, and great view from the deck. Kitchen well-stocked and king size bed really comfortable. Heads up- the final check-in email from VRBO did not include the key code; you have to pay attention to a prior email to get that info.

Great Stay

Great location and amenities. The owner communicated thoroughly, providing instructions and helpful bits of information for the rental and the area we were visiting. Lots of beach supplies such as snorkel gear, flotation noodles, flippers, umbrella, beach towels/blankets, chairs, boogie boards, a few beach toys, and netted carry bags. The beach chair straps were broken from sun rot but we rigged it up - access to them was a plus anyhow. There are local places to rent chairs if needed. The kitchen was great and having a washer/dryer in the unit was helpful. The views off the lanai are beautiful but the view from across the street is a taste of heaven! Go out at night and enjoy the stars. This unit is great for families but doesn’t offer much privacy for couples traveling together. It was just two of us and we loved it.

Beautiful Princeville

Though the property is a bit outdated, and if you don’t mind some dust this is the perfect stay! We were able to over see some of the minor details of the site. The location is perfect. The management/home owner responsive. And the place was as cute as can be. For 6 people we made the one bathroom work for us. Would come back and stay at this location.

Comfortable and quiet in great location

The condo was very clean and comfortable. It sits in a quiet neighborhood and there is a great place just across the street for watching sunsets over the ocean. Beach access requires a short but steep hike down to a beautiful little sunning and snorkeling spot. Beach chairs, towels, and gear is provided by the host. The host was immediately responsive to all of our questions both before and during our visit. We will definitely plan to be back!

About the host

Hosted by Jim Nicholas

Host profile image
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.
