About this property

Hawaiian-style Oceanfront Villa - Outrageous Views, Beach Access, Ahh!

Enjoy Kauai's simple pleasures and grand landscapes right from home! From the moment you arrive, you immediately sense the Aloha spirit and the other-worldliness of Kauai's North Shore. Hanalei Bay Villas' surroundings are stunning and beyond beautiful; the unique charm, ideal location, and dramatic beauty provide an island experience to be treasured.

The Layout:

The home comfortably accommodates up to five guests. The villa is a traditional Hawaiian-style, two-story design with 1,365 sq ft of living space. To the South, the view looks over a lush green valley toward the rugged interior mountains with cascading waterfalls, shifting clouds, and brilliant rainbows. To the North, the home opens on to the shimmering blue Pacific. The scenic cliff overlook is a great place to take in sunset and to whale watch. These natural surroundings provide a dramatic backdrop to your island retreat; some of the most beautiful scenery on the island is right at home.

Villa #29 sits atop a ridge-line allowing ocean trade winds to flow through the house keeping it fresh, bright, and airy. There are numerous louvered windows, sliding glass doors, solar shades, ceiling fans and several area fans throughout. The bedrooms have portable A/C units for additional sleeping comfort if desired,

The living space, covered lanai, beach closet, and half bath are on the upper/entry level. The lower level of the home has three bedrooms, two full baths, another covered lanai, and laundry area with full size washer/dryer. The primary ensuite bedroom has a Queen Tempur-Pedic mattress on a platform bed frame. The 2nd bedroom has a King mattress and large closet; and the office serving as the third bedroom has a Twin XL and desk.

The Neighborhood:

Beautiful beaches are within close walking distance. A short and steep foot trail leads down to Kenomene Beach (aka 'Hideaways'), ideal for basking on the warm golden sands or resting under the large shade trees. This 300' stretch of beach is divided by a rock outcropping and offers great snorkeling and coastal views. Pu'u Poa Beach on the eastern shore of the bay fronts 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay and can be accessed by an outdoor staircase. Follow the foot trail around the bay and, during low tide, you can wade across the Hanalei River to Hanalei Pier & Beach Pavilion.

Within the community of Princeville you will also find gems to visit such as Queen’s Bath, Kaweonui Beach and Wyllie Beach. You can play the award winning Maka'i golf course, jog along the 3 mile path, practice sunrise yoga on the bluff, workout at the outdoor fitness circuit, visit the playground and play tennis or pickleball at the nearby courts. Princeville Ranch offers private horsemanship lessons on 2,500 acres of private lands on the North Shore of Kaua'i and several artist and farmers markets take place throughout the month at Prince Albert Park.

The Princeville Center just two miles away offers a grocery store, grab and go deli, wine market, convenience store, specialty boutiques, art galleries, full service restaurants and casual courtyard cafes.

Just Down The Road:

Princeville, nestled between Hanalei (4 miles W) and Kilauea (7 mi S), is central to all North Shore attractions and activities. Truly, all are within twelve scenic miles of the villa; including the quaint town of Hanalei, Limahuli National Tropical Botanical Gardens, the pristine Na Pali Coast and the Kalalau Trailhead, Kilauea Point Lighthouse & National Wildlife Refuge, and many more hiking trails and beautiful beaches to explore.

This is a County Approved Visitor Destination Area (VDA). Our private home is registered with the Princeville Community Association as a vacation rental and in compliance with the State of Hawaii. Hawaii Transient Accommodations and General Excise Tax ID 055-964-2624-01.

Perfect location

We enjoyed our stay here. It’s our 5th visit to the island and 3rd time renting through VRBO, and it was our favorite rental property by far. The location was perfect, decoration of the house was very welcoming, and spacious enough for 5 of us. Appreciated their beach equipments and tumble water bottles which we used daily. I wasn’t used to using an electronic stove top, but other than that, their kitchen is well equipped as well. Very comfortable stay. Loved the mountain and the ocean views, walking distance to 1 Hotel and Hideaway beach. We’ll definitely try to stay here again on our next visit. Thank you Donna!

Lanai views.

Donna is a great host. Her communication and attention to detail is top tier! We just got back and already long to be sitting back on the lanai. The location of this villa is prime. One side is a jungle and mountains with waterfalls. The other is a Cliffside ocean view the commands a crowd at sunset. However this site your front yard. The best shopping, beaches, views and restaurants are literally steps away from your Villa. Great for a photographer such as myself. With potential gardens and the queens bath at your doorstep. I didn't want to leave.

Super-luxe accommodations

Absolutely outstanding! HBV #29 was uber-clean, comfortably and tastefully furnished and decorated, and completely exceeded our expectations. I always hesitate to write a glowing review for fear that my choice villa will become unavailable when we need to schedule a little island-hopping getaway, but in all fairness, I must be a vocal proponent. The location of the villa was ideal; a short stroll across the street lay tremendous views of the ocean and the famed "Bali Hai". The view from the villa lanais was of the majestic Mauna Namolokama. Just as special (to me anyway), was the flowering puakenikeni tree growing next to the villa! Every day, the tree provided a fragrant pua to accompany me throughout our daily excursions. Donna was extremely hospitable from my initial inquiry to my post-visit communication. Mahalo nui to you, Donna, and your family for allowing us the pleasure of making your Kauai hale our Kauai retreat.

Special

I can't imagine a more perfect place for my family of four during our recent trip to Kauai. The North Shore is such a striking location. Gorgeous mountains all around and the blue, blue water. I have stayed in Poipu and I much preferred the feel of the North Shore.The pictures of the villa are lovely, but the feel of the home is even better. I loved gazing at the mountains and waterfalls, and seeing all the birds swoop on to the lanai. At night, it was so nice to have the louvers and sliding glass door open in the master bedroom so we could hear what sounded like a tropical rain forest outside. Some nights we had pounding rain, and in the morning there would be a beautiful rainbow. My kids loved using the boogie boards and the snorkeling equipment. The kitchen was very well stocked and there is a new washer/dryer set. Unlike most rental homes, all the essentials are provided, plus the bathroom drawers yield extra goodies like sunscreen, soaps, plush towels, etc. Thank you so much to Donna for keeping the villa in great condition for guests!

Had a Great Time on the north Shore

Our stay at Hanalei Bay Villas was great. There was plenty of room for my wife and I and our 2 adult children. We really enjoyed relaxing on the lanai and getting to know the birds. The villa is beyond well stocked and Donna has, indeed, thought of everything. Our daughter enjoyed doing her yoga out on the lower lanai amongst the lush setting with the birds chirping. Snorkelling gear was good and plenty to choose from plus beach chairs, bags, mats, towels and way more. We had a lot of fun on the beaches. Our favourite for snorkelling was Tunnels beach - what a beautiful reef. The beaches nearby are also great and not crowded but Hideaways might be challenging for some to get down to - very steep trail with slippery sections and ropes. On the hotter days/nights the air conditioned bedrooms were appreciated but it also rained at night a couple of times to cool things down. The main floor requires some strategic used of the window shades and vents but this is pretty typical of many homes in Hawaii. All in all, we had a very pleasant stay and wouldn't hesitate to return when we next visit Kauai.

Exceptional property

We just returned from a week stay at this beautiful home. We have been to the Princeville many times and this was by far our best stay. The home is in a fantastic location right next to the St. Regis. You can walk 100 yards to the hotel and sit out with a cocktail and watch an amazing sunset. The house has beautiful views of a waterfall from the back patio and you open your front door to the most amazing ocean view. It is an amazing spot to watch the sunset every evening. The walking path is right in front of the house so we took advantage of being able to walk or go for a run daily. The house itself is appointed beautifully. The kitchen has every thing in it that you would need. The bathrooms are all remodeled and the bedrooms are quite comfortable. It was really nice to use all the snorkle equipment and beach chairs. There is an amazing private beach right below the unit. It felt like our own private beach. The water was surreal and the snorkling was exquisite. It was a pleasure working with Donna to make the arrangements and she even let us have a late check out at no charge. We loved it so much we will be back next year!!!

Truly a lovely home with excellent and considerate owners.

We spent the second week of our Hawaii vacation on Kaua'i. It is a wonderful island. As frequent users of rental vacation homes we have come to appreciate the difference between homes managed by owners versus those managed by "Managers/Management companies". There is no comparison and the Chase's are at or near the top in the owner's we have dealt with. The Chase's Hawaii home has the sense that they just left it, meaning there is no locked cupboard full of stuff they do not want you to use. They fully share all the equipment you need to enjoy the beach and their home; everything it is good quality and well cared for. My wife who is a passionate cook was happy with the very well equipped and stocked kitchen (excellent quality knives, pots, frying pans, and very good appliances). Very good quality mattresses, linens and towels. We enjoyed many meals basking in the stunning mountain views. You truly have a sense of a tropical paradise from the back deck/balcony. Our family enjoyed morning coffees listening to the birds (especially roosters) basking in the air and view. The only small caveat would be if you are emphatic about ocean views from the comfort of the home, while you do have an ocean view from the front door it is slightly limited. Also Princeville is a development but Hanalei (a great town) is a short drive away. We would rent this home again

Perfect location. Very clean and had everything a family could need. Enjoyed the early mornings having coffee and watching the birds. And the evenings strolling along the front and watching the sunset. There was amble beach supplies and hiking gear. Close to the beach about 5 min walk one had a lot of steps but was paved. Parking was easy but had a few people that would park in the location when it was sunset time, they did move when we asked. Would highly recommend this location it’s perfect.

Wonderful home and location for our first visit to Kauai.

Lovely, comfortable property with great views

Comfortable, pretty free-standing cottage perched on a hillside with great views in either direction! The well kept house has everything you could need - local bath products, surfer microfiber towels, a closet full of beach gear, stocked modern kitchen, comfortable furniture and nice linens, a top notch guidebook with tons of great local recommendations, ukuleles, and much more. It is obviously a place that the owners love and have used themselves for many years, and it shows. It's part of a golf course community and there are tons of people jogging or walking by, looking at the amazing view from the bluff across the street from the villa. It's about 2 miles to the town of Princeville but you can walk to a couple of restaurants (the golf course grill, a highly rated breakfast place that was closed when we were there) AND it's just up the street from the super fancy 1 Hotel, that has several high end restaurants and bars. The hotel entry post was restricting non-guests from walking in when we were there (spring break week) but if you walk down to the public beach along the side steps (Puu Poa Beach) - the beach bar is right there, and you can access the hotel. Amazing sunset drinks! One thing to note: if you have little kids or older folks (like we did) the beach access from this cottage is not easy. It's a long walk with a lot of stuff down a steep hill or steps. We ended up driving around for easier beaches, which was fine - just something to know. Mahalo Donna!
