Studio with AC, lanai, and mountain views. Steps from the ocean with beach gear!
Air Conditioned, Cozy, and Full of Aloha!
Nestled in the cozy and quiet Hale Moi complex in Princeville, our spacious Studio suite condo is perfect to serve as your home base as you explore the awe-inspiring beauty of the North Shore (and beyond) of Kauai. The condo is less than a 5 minute walk to multiple beaches and the newly opened restaurants and spa at the 1Hotel Hanalei.
The View
The view from our condo is a spectacular showcase of the unspoiled beauty of Kauai. Off the lanai to the right, take in a breathtaking view of Makana Mountain, the oceanside mountain peak made famous as Bali Hai in the movie South Pacific. Enjoy sunsets right on the lanai as the evening sky comes alive with a kaleidoscope of tropical color. Looking directly off the lanai (or from the inside of the studio) is a lush, tropical greenbelt (alive with birds chirping in the morning) and the Namolokama mountain range. After rain showers, you can see one, two, or even dozens of cascading waterfalls. Experience it all without leaving your condo!
The Accommodations
Our Studio suite is a second-floor unit (up only 6 steps) with vaulted ceilings, a private 75-square foot lanai with breathtaking views, a great kitchenette, beach gear, and everything to make your stay cozy and comfortable. One of the best things about our complex, Hale Moi, is it is small and low-key - our building has just four condos. The condo has a king bed with Serta plush top mattress, a super comfy living area with love sofa and chair, dining table, a 37" flat panel TV, and two ceiling fans. The kitchenette is well-stocked with a mini-fridge/microwave/toaster oven/coffee maker/hot plate/dishes/etc. (and you can of course use the gas and charcoal BBQs on the property). Overall, it's light and airy, full of aloha, and truly a lot for your money!
A/C & Heat
The suite has a quiet and efficient AC and heating system - It never hurts to have A/C, as Kauai is guaranteed to get hot and humid in summer, but also at any time of year. And if you're coming in winter, it's nice to have heat - overnight lows on Kauai can dip near 60 degrees!
The Location
Our condo is special for many reasons and a major one is location. Hale Moi is in one of the only areas in Princeville where you have beach access within walking distance. Two beaches are within a ten minute walk, with the closest being Pu'u Po'a beach in front of the newly renovated 1 Hotel. Right outside the front door is the scenic jog/walk/bike path that runs through Princeville, and across the street is a famous sunset viewing spot (Voted one of the 10 ten sunset viewing locations by Traveler Magazine), which is also great for whale watching if you’re with us during the season (Nov-April). Gorgeous Hanalei Bay is a 10 minute drive and for hikers, several trails are within reach, including the Okolehao trail in Hanalei and the infamous Kalalau Trail. If golf is your thing, the Makai golf course (recently renovated) is a half-mile away. For an easy dinner out, Hideaways Pizza Pub is a 5 minute walk. Princeville Center is a 5 minute drive and has a grocery store, coffee shop, yoga studios, shopping, and more.

We had a wonderful stay and felt very comfortable throughout our time here. The view from the balcony is fantastic and really made our experience special. The accommodation had everything we needed and was very clean. We especially appreciated being able to use the beach equipment provided. We can highly recommend this place!
Perfect home base for exploring the North Shore. Walking distance to 2 beaches, easy drive to Hanalei and other adventures. Woke each morning to the delightful bird chatter. The view from the deck was stunning and was gifted with a rainbow one morning. Would have loved to stay longer.
I think it’s important to know that we would stay here again, would recommend the condo to others and when we communicated with our host, we had very quick responses.
Very nice studio apartment. Kitchen was small, but decently stocked. Host was very communicative and the location is excellent. Wonderful place to stay!
The unit was well equipped,clean,quiet,safe and close to the beach hiking and restaurants we wanted. Somewhat dated but small refrig,microwave, coffee maker etc. owner quickly responded to parking issue. Would definitely rent again as location perfect!
The hosts were good. Terrific location. Clean. It rained almost the whole time we were there (North shore in February), so a bit of a downer. The bed was overly soft and a little lumpy, the carpet could be replaced, and the tub needs to be recaulked. But, when the sun was out, the view out the back is outstanding!

Thank you for the thoughtful review Bill! We're going to get a new mattress for future guests :)
The studio is really sweet. We love this location and Daniel is very responsive and helpful. The parking can be little stressful during busier holiday times when the units fill up. Just know that you can park where there's a designated "permit" spots in the lot. We've stayed in the larger/loft studio next door in the past which is preferred. Not only is it larger, cleaner, and has all the comforts of your home, you also get your own designated parking spot. I will say though, I think this little studio has a better view from the lanai.

Sorry to hear parking was stressful -- we know it can be an issue during the holidays! Glad you enjoyed your stay otherwise and the view from the lanai :)
One thing I wanted to clarify -- both our units have the same excellent cleaning team. The loft next door was recently renovated so is newer, but both units are equally clean.
Met Laura when we arrived a little early and she was so helpful. Everything was great and we loved the location. There doesn’t appear to be any parking enforcement but we did find a space each time we pulled in, despite the vehicles without tags that were definitely locals!Great sunsets from the deck.
We were delighted by the view of a green belt from the unit and its lanai.The many trees meant many birds flying and singing. We could see over the treetops to the mountains, and enjoyed the colors of both sunrise and sunset. The unit is spacious for two, well appointed in island style furnishings, and is clean and comfortable. It's a short walk to a small park with sweeping ocean views. We hope to visit again next year!
Cozy studio. Parking situation was stressful as we arrived twice and had no parking spot.

Hi Robert! Glad you enjoyed the studio and sorry you had parking issues. If you had let us know during your stay, we would have let you know that you are welcome to park in any of the lots at our complex, which are just a short walk from the condo. Hope that would have reduced your stress!
Wonderful place - very well maintained; clean, quiet, and equipped with everything one might need; beautiful view; ideal location within a walking distance from the beach and a major grocery; easy and fast communication with the owner. THANKS!We had an issue with noise from the AC from the unit below during the night because we didn't use the AC and kept the windows and the terrace door open. However, when we asked to turn it off after 10 pm, our neighbor kindly did that. Other guests may not even find this being an issue.
Excellent location to all things north on Kauai — met all expectations and wonderful owner — very short walk to awesome sunsets — clean and perfect for a couple — well equipped and view of moutains
This apartment/location was amazing! Love the patio view, quest neighborhood. Walkable to 2 amazing beaches. Gorgeous views and plants all around. Daniel was very responsive, was able to let us have an early check in and the house keeper checked in with us as well. Would 100% recommend and stay here again!
Great location! Nice, quiet place with a beautiful view from the lanai. Loved sitting out there listening to the birds. Place was clean and had everything I needed. Owners were very responsive to my inquiry about the missing parking pass. I loved being so close to the lookout and Tunnels Beach. I enjoyed my stay very much!
Wonderful to wake up to birds and trees and mountains! Convenient location for our time in the area, very easy check in/out. Would recommend to a friend for sure
This condo has everything you need for a short stay in the area. We were very comfortable and appreciated the beach chairs and umbrella. Make sure you like a soft bed!

About the host
Hosted by Daniel
Daniel and Christina live on Kauai's North Shore (just down the road from this condo!) and are committed to making your stay on our island a relaxing and memorable one. Don't hesitate to ask us any questions (about the condo or otherwise) before booking -- we're happy to help!
Why they chose this property
Before we lived on Kauai we were obsessed with visiting here and came almost every chance we had to go on vacation. We often stayed in Princeville because it's the most affordable way to experience Kauai's North Shore (just a short drive from Hanalei) and a great home base to explore the rest of the island.
What makes this property unique
Hale Moi is truly a hidden gem in Princeville! Most of the condo complexes aren't walking distance from anything to do outside -- which is the reason you come to Kauai! From our condo, you can cruise just across the road to a beautiful spot where locals watch the sunset (and whales during the season), walk 5 minutes down the road to TWO beaches at the tip of Hanalei Bay, or simply enjoy the gorgeous mountain views from your own lanai. If you want to go out to eat without driving, Hideaways Pizza Pub is right across the street.
