About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Cozy North Shore Charmer w/ Beautiful Ocean Views & Great Onsite Amenities

Alii Kai 8H is a lovely, private top floor condo with gorgeous views of the ocean that you can enjoy from your balcony lanai. This two bedroom corner unit has a comfortable and homey main living space, a fully stocked kitchen, and two private ensuite bathrooms so nobody has to share! The guest bedroom shares the same awesome views as the lanai, so you can watch the sun rise over the ocean without even getting out of bed.

You'll find yourself in the perfect jumping off point for exploring the island at Alii Kai 8H. Anini Beach is just 15 minutes away, and has crystal clear waters that are perfect for snorkeling! You might also catch a glimpse of a Hawaiian green sea turtle while you're there. Hanalei Bay is also just 10 minutes away, and has beautiful golden sand beaches with calm waters perfect for all ages of swimmers. The charming Hanalei town is right nearby, and has a variety of boutiques and delicious restaurants and cafes for all your shopping and dining needs. Hideaways Beach is just a mile away from Alii Kai, and if you're able to brave the steep path you'll be rewarded with a secluded and shady beach experience that feels like your own slice of paradise. The snorkeling isn't half bad either! If you want a break from the crowds, we recommend heading to Kilauea, just 20 minutes down the road, to check out the iconic lighthouse and wildlife preserve. Or, if you prefer sticking a bit closer to home, the Princeville shopping center is just a mile away, and has plenty of options for shopping and grabbing tasty bites, as well as the Foodland grocery store for even more convenience! The nationally ranked Makai golf course is also just a 10 minute walk away from your front door, and has some of the best golfing in the country.

If you prefer less running around on vacation and more time relaxing, the Alii Kai complex is perfectly suited for a chilled out staycation! The complex has a large heated pool, jacuzzi, and shallow wading pool that's great for children, as well as plenty of sun loungers and shaded clubhouse seating. There are also gas grills on site if you want to spend the day grilling out and enjoying the beautiful weather, or you can take a stroll around the beautifully landscaped grounds. situated right on the rocky bluffs, and enjoy some stellar ocean views!

Looking to explore other parts of the island? Drive time to the South Shore is roughly 75 minutes, and to the East Side (where the airport is located) is 55 minutes.

As with most homes on Kauai, this vacation rental is NOT air conditioned, although there are screen doors on the lanai and fans in every room to help with airflow.

This is an upstairs condo so you need to be able to go up and down 16 stairs. There are no elevators.

Although this home has internet, the speed and reliability cannot be guaranteed due to the remote location and the service being provided by a third-party.

Good value

The condo is generally clean and comfortable and has a lovely view of the ocean. The pool and spa are also nice and very well maintained. The only issues were- #1 guest shower had issues with water temperature - had to crank up the cold and barely use hot water to get to a good temperature. #2 dishwasher is clearly on its las legs and wouldn't close on the last day. #3 Sliding doors wouldn't close without lifting it off the track first.

Alii Kai II

We stayed in a nice 2-bedroom unit with a view of the ocean. The only issue we had was that the cable was connected to a light switch, but the property management folks helped us fix that. Overall, it was a good stay.

Pleasant Stay

Had a very relaxing and pkeasant stay at Alii Kai 2. Comfortable and roomy condo with nice view of ocean and mountains. There were a few hiccups, like the dishwasher not working but the property management quickly responded. I would recommend .both the property and properties managed by Kauai Kahuna.

Location is wonderful

After arriving our electronic door lock failed, unable to get into our rental at 01:00 am, property manager called and quickly arrived to use the key. Battery replaced the next morning. Then the sink over the garborator filled up when the dishwasher was used, needed to bail dirty water into the next sink or a flood would have occurred. Rental company sent a plumber quickly to fix this issue. Overall, site location wonderful, grounds immaculate, our stay was good overall Even with those two issues.

Pluses and Minuses

On the plus side, the space was decent in a nice area close to Princeville. The kitchen was fairly well appointed with medium quality dishes. They really should repair the wall behind the microwave though. They should make it clear the pool you see in the pictures is not the one you are allowed to use. The one you are able to use is actually better but we wasted time not knowing we were trying to get into the wrong area. Our TV failed before a big game and we spent al lot of time trying to figure out what was wrong. Turns out it was Roku but we were without entertainment for most of the trip. No stereo, or ability to use DVD. Kauai is very quiet after dark.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Unit was clean well stocked and in a very nice location. We did have a few issues. 1. The dishwasher was broken when we arrived and was beeping, they finally sent someone over and they disconnected the circuit breaker to stop the beeping, which also killed some of the outlets in one of the bedrooms. 2. In the other bedroom 1/2 of one of the outlets behind the bed stopped working.

Nice condo but NO AC

Overall it was great but not having AC and being from Arizona we don't do so well with the humidity and no AC since we are use to having AC at night. Had two fans blowing at night to try to sleep. The condo and location were great the furniture was great as well. None of the other condos in the area have AC It is our fault for not looking into the AC situation because the VRBO listing does not say there is AC in the property we just assumed that all properties would have AC. Great place to stay if the weather is nice or you are use to humid summers it should be a great place. No problems what so ever everything worked well and was comfortable. We enjoyed our stay in Kauai and would recommend this property !

I booked a suite for four people and expected to be charged accordingly. However, I was surprised to see additional charges on my bill, including fees for the number of guests—which was already disclosed at the time of booking—as well as a resort fee, resort tax, and extra room charges. The total amount charged was significantly higher than I anticipated and quite unexpected.

Has the basics and a good view

As other reviews stated, this unit is quite dated and while we did have everything we needed, it did feel quite old. The pool pictured in the photos is directly beneath the unit but you will not have access to it. The pool for this unit is not far but it’s not right below, which is puzzling! We appreciated the hospitality, ease of booking and did enjoy the views.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental was beautiful with a view of the ocean, a great pool, hottub and bbq's 2 minutes away. It was very clean, comfortable, and well-equipped for cooking. Was a great experience for two couples. Would highly recommend a car as not much is within walking distance but a peaceful, beautiful location to relax and cute towns/amazing beaches within a short drive.

Comfortable but showing it’s age

Upon our arrival, I was somewhat disappointed that first evening that the condo appeared a bit tired and shabby. By the next afternoon, my attitude adjusted and I realized that it was adequate in the ways that mattered. The bed was comfortable, the shower had good water pressure and the appliances in the kitchen worked well. It was clean, quiet and in a nice location. But it could definitely use some new paint, a carpentry refresh and a bit of modernizing in the kitchen. The attentiveness of staff before and during our visit was excellent. We’d stayed at this complex 3 yrs prior with friends, thus our decision to return to the area. three years priorkitchen

Photos of property are deceiving.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was okay. I wouldn't rebook it though. The bathrooms needed a complete remodel. The tub was gross, and the cabinets were in need of an update. You had a HUGE HOLE in the wall in the kitchen. Perfect for insects, or rodents to come through. I never cooked in that kitchen.

Great stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our location and our view... Being over the pool had his pros and cons though in the later evenings... For the price we paid, we thought the kitchen could use a tiny upgrade for sure, but other than that we were very happy. We were easy guests doing our own laundry and treating the property like our own home... we donated three brand new boogie boards to the closet for the next many guests to use and we hope the owners can enjoy them as well. We would definitely stay again. Mahalo!

Disappointing

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent a good portion of the week talking to the management company about spotty wifi, TV not working, garbage disposal back-up, (only used it once) and several other more minor issues that could have been avoided with better, more detailed move-in instructions. Managers were friendly, but most answers were "try this", or "we will call maintenance", or "we are very sorry". We did not see a manager or maintenance person all week. My impression is that the owner does not want to spend any money so furnishings are sparce, appliances need up-dating (the side of the refrigerator and freezer racks appeared to be rusty), and the microwave above the stove does not work -so we used a smaller one located on the counter. The good news is that the place was clean and in a good Princeville location. Being situated next to and above the pool we were able to hear most of the pool conversations as well as the moans and heavy breathing from the unit below. We vacated our two week reservation after the first week and moved to a more suitable and comfortable location. No refund was offered.

Gorgeous gardens

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This lovely two bedroom condo will not only give you lush gardens and ocean views, you have everything you need to have a fabulous time in Princeville. We had smoothies every morning with the provided blinder. All your cooking needs are available. The kitchen cupboards are looking a little tired but other than that it was perfect. The hot tub wasn’t working which was a real bummer as that was one of our ‘must haves’ when traveling but the pool was equally as good. The location took us a bit to find but once you go in and out a few times you’ll find your way....lots of turns. The walking paths are fantastic and so is the peace and quiet. Overall, we are thrilled with this condo.
