About this property

Hanalei Bay Villas #12, Waterfall and Ocean Views, walk to beach and One Hotel

  • This lovely Hanalei Bay vacation rental home, is a classic Hawaiian style pole house - suspended on poles and giving the house fabulous circulation from the cooling ocean breezes. The location and the views are unbeatable for a relaxing beach vacation. From nearly every room in the house you can see Kawaikini and the stunning Makana ridge (also known as Bali Ha'i), these mountains are often flowing with beautiful waterfalls and we have a bird's eye view of the third green of the Makai golf course.

    This three bedroom villa is located walking distance to nearly everything you want to do in Hawaii - from surfing, snorkeling, golf, lovely walks and paddle boarding. The One Hotel and the Princeville headland, are less than 100 meters from the Villa. The fun and funky town of Hanalei is about a ten minute drive from the villa.

    The famous Prince golf course is also less than 10 minute drive from the villa. The Prince is ranked as Golf Digest’s #1 Golf Course in Hawaii and one of America’s Top 100 Greatest Courses.

    A designated parking place is only steps away from our front door.

    Hike the Kalalau trail, snorkel Ke'e or Tunnels - you are only a short drive away! Hideaways, the best snorkeling on the island, in my opinion , is right across the road from our house, a five minute walk. Unsurpassed sunsets over Bali Ha'i may be enjoyed nightly from the ocean bluff just a three minute walk up the road.

    This lovely villa has an open plan living room, dining area and kitchen with fabulous high vaulted ceilings and sliding glass doors leading out to a lanai - the perfect place for you to enjoy everything from your morning coffee to evening cocktails while you watch the sunset.

    The living and dining room are very comfortable and there is a flat screen TV with cable.

    The kitchen has granite counter tops and is extremely well equipped, much more like a home than a vacation rental, perfect for preparing great meals for friends and family. The whole of this upstairs area has dramatic views of Makana Ridge, Hanalei Bay and the Makana golf course. There is a half bath on this floor. You can enjoy both sunrise and sunsets from the home's two private lanais.

    There are three bedrooms downstairs. The master bedroom has a California king bed, TV, ensuite master bathroom and a private lanai, with more of the same beautiful views of the bay, the Makai golf course and mountain waterfalls. The second bedroom has a queen bed and more beautiful views of the mountains, golf course and Hanalei Bay. The third bedroom has 2 twin beds, and just like the other bedrooms, it has beautiful views of the mountains and golf course. Bedroom 2 & 3 share a bathroom. The twin room has a chest of drawers for clothing, and shares a bath with the queen bedroom.

    Island motif is felt throughout the home along with great circulation from all sides of the villa, which helps to catch the island breezes on those warm days and nights.

Great location. Walkable to several things. Certainly warm when it rains and the humidity is high (no a/c) but fine as soon as it stops raining. I know having snorkel gear is just a bonus, but was very disappointed when we hiked to tunnels beach and only realized once we were there that the snorkel gear was defective. Beach chairs and umbrella were great!

Awesome property

We had a great time staying at this property for our first of many trips to Kauai! The host was very responsive when we needed to alter our check out plans for convenience. What did we enjoy most? Location was ideal, walk to very nice beach, lots of windows for immaculate views, overlooks par 3 of local golf course, well equipped inside. Pizza at nearby Hanalei Bay Resort restaurant was good with amazing views. Short walk to Hanalei 1 hotel for good food/drink.

Great Location.

We really enjoyed this house in Princeville. It’s a perfect location with great views and close to everything on the North Shore. The house is showing its age and could use some updates, but is still quite nice. The property managers were wonderful about responding to any questions or concerns. We would definitely stay here again.,

Magic in Kauai

Amazing stay at the villa for my 3 step kids in their 20s and 15 year old son. Location was perfect - beautiful views and right across the street from beautiful Hideaways Beach. Rooster wake up calls were included! For us - villa was perfect - plenty of room for us and loved the Hawaiian flavor!

Great location

Villa was perfect accommodations for our family of 6. Location is outstanding with great views of the mountains beyond hanalei from the back and Hideaways beach is steps from the front door. We are partial to the North shore and you can get everywhere easily from this location. Having beach chairs provided and a very short (but steep) walk to hideaways was the best part—along with amazing views from the villa. Kitchen was well equipped, ocean breezes moving through the villa kept it comfortable the whole time. We enjoyed our stay here very much and would stay again.

Mountain Views!

Location, location, location! We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Kauai and the location of this unit. The view of the beautiful mountain was a highlight of each morning and evening. Hideaways beach is within walking distance and had the best snorkeling on the island. We spent most of our time there and loved the private, low key feel of Hideaways. The unit could use a deep cleaning and a coat of paint, but we honestly didn’t spend a whole lot of time in the unit since we were lucky enough to have perfect weather the whole week we were there.

A gem of a rental!

Everything was perfect!! Thoroughly enjoyed our week in this little gem of a rental! The views are spectacular! The location is so ideal, across the road from the beautiful 1 Hotel and a perfect beach to lounge at. A 5 min. walk to hide-away beach which is ideal for snorkeling. The kitchen has everything you'll need to prepare meals. The addition of beach chairs, sun umbrellas and a cooler were a nice perk. The owner was extremely kind and easy to communicate with. We hope to return with our family soon!!

Better than expected

The online pictures of the view do not do it justice. I may have overlooked it on the website, but was amazed to discover that we were a very short walk to the "1 Hotel". Unbelievable. We really enjoyed checking it out; beach, bar, coffee bar, etc. The house was fantastic. Coming from Texas we had concerns about no A.C., but it was a non-issue. Highly Recommend.

Hanalei Villa 12

I stayed here with my family (3 teens) in June and the location was fantastic. We had a few maintenance issues that we had to live with for a couple days until they could be fixed (handle fell off kitchen faucet, toilet flush handle broke, and living room TV had to be replaced). That was unfortunate. Villa only had 1 bath towel for each person and 1 packet of laundry detergent. This unit needs a deep cleaning, touch up paint, new mattresses and pillows, and extra linens.

Great location

It’s a great location and has a beautiful view from the patio overlooking the golf course. The only downside was that quite a few of the screens on the windows had tears in them so the mosquitoes would come with a vengeance at night and my family was covered in bug bites every morning. Because there’s no AC and it can feel muggy in the evenings during the summer, we relied on the cross breeze to keep the house comfortable. The agency said they were planning on fixing all the torn screens when we left, so hopefully they did. Other than that, it was great.

Location in Paradise

We all loved our stay at the rental. The location was fabulous. Close to a couple of beaches right out the door. Clean. Comfortable beds and pillows. Incredible mountain views! Quiet. Boogie boards and beach chairs. A couple of negatives: not overly stocked in the kitchen ( one roll of paper towels, no sugar, 3 coffee filters, had to buy our own laundry detergent). The furniture is not the most comfortable to relax in at night but we certainly managed. If we ever came back to Princeville we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Thanks for sharing your home with us. Mahalo.

Wonderful porch views

Quiet property with incredible mountain/golf views from the porch. Homeowner is really sweet and responsive and answered a bunch of our questions ahead of our trip, which we appreciated! There's no AC, but opening the windows for the afternoon breeze and fans in the bedrooms provided ample cooling during our July visit. An earlier review mentioned mosquitos but we had no issues (the windows are all screened). We enjoyed walking down to the Hotel 1 beach (paved walkway with steps and hand railings), but the hike down to Hideaway beach is not easy. I recommend checking out driving instructions for other areas you'd like to visit during your stay -- we didn't realize how long it would take to get down to Hanalei town/other beaches from this property. Not a problem for us, but we weren't expecting that and it means you'll need to plan your outings a bit to minimize driving. A few tips: Don't forget to grab everything you'll need to cook at home -- we ended up missing a few basics like cooking oil. The screen door to the main level porch doesn't slide in its track very well, but the glass sliding door can be used instead. Also, all the mattresses are quite soft and the bedrooms are downstairs, so if you have a guest with back issues or mobility issues this might not be the best pick.

Ferfect place but bad administration

A very beautiful place. Magnificent view from the window. The house is equipped with everything necessary. It's close to the beach, but you need to go down and walk up the stairs. There were significant shortcomings. Firstly, we moved into the house without cleaning and I couldn’t reach anyone for several hours. After the long flight, tired, we were forced to resolve the issue of cleaning. This greatly spoiled the first impression of the vacation. Then the cleaners came, but it was inconvenient because we had already brought all our things. Further. The washer did not work during the entire period of our stay there, which in itself was extremely inconvenient. The owner promised a compensation of $200 for this, but never sent a refund. The house is full of ants. I understand that this is a tropical island and they live there too. However, in Maui or Oahu we did not have such problems in our houses. Possibly because the owner processed the property

Fantastic location

We had an amazing time at this house. Everything was exactly as listed in the description. The house is situated in a great spot on the North Shore, which was our base camp for all sorts of great hiking all over the island. Our family of four had plenty of room and hot water, and all the appliances worked great. The washer dryer was a definite plus, and the kitchen had everything, and more, that you would need to cook meals. The house was stocked with boogie boards, chairs, umbrella and cooler, which made beach days at Hanalei beach fantastic. The owner was super responsive to questions, and had some great suggestions on hikes and local attractions. The house is right across the street from an amazing beach, and both kids learned to surf on the East side of Hanalei beach next to the pier. Shout out to Hanalei Surf shop for the board rental and ideas on where to go to learn. The owner recommended picking up a copy of The ultimate Kauai Guidebook by Andrew Doughy, and it was a great find. We also bought his island audio tour which provided a pretty great self guided tour. The only downside to the house was no ac, which didn't matter for most of the trip, but the last two hot and humid days with no breeze was pretty warm. Also, our biggest negative surprise with the North Shore was how expensive and how bad the restaurants were- $150-200 a night for dinners for four that were 2 star. We only tried 3 places but still. Poke bowls at Foodland and home cooking saved the day however.
