About this property

Alii Kai: Waterfalls by Morning, Sunsets by Night

  • Wake up to waterfalls. End the day with a Pacific sunset. Alii Kai 1201 is a bright, top-floor Princeville retreat with something that is genuinely special: a large wraparound lanai with beautiful views in nearly every direction. Step outside with your morning coffee and look toward the emerald mountains, where waterfalls appear after the rain. In the evening, settle in with a glass of wine and watch the sky change over the Pacific. This is the kind of place where you may find yourself spending as much time on the lanai as you do exploring the island.

    A Comfortable Home Base for Your Kauai Escape:
    * The condo offers two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a spacious open living area, making it an easy fit for couples, families, or friends traveling together.
    * The primary king suite has beautiful mountain and waterfall views and its own dedicated workspace with an executive desk and comfortable office chair—ideal if you need to stay connected while you're away.
    * The queen guest bedroom offers a comfortable private retreat, while the fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to enjoy a relaxed breakfast before heading out or prepare dinner and dine at home.

    Indoor-Outdoor Living:
    * The heart of Alii Kai 1201 is the wraparound lanai. Open the doors, let in the trade winds, and enjoy Kauai's tropical surroundings from the comfort of home.
    * There is room to spread out with your coffee, a good book, or a meal, while the changing scenery provides a beautiful backdrop throughout the day.
    * The condo is naturally cooled by Kauai's trade winds and ceiling fans throughout. There is no air conditioning.
    * Guests have access to the community pool, gas BBQ grill, scenic Princeville walking paths, and nearby trails.

    The location makes it easy to explore the North Shore:
    Princeville Center — about 1 mile: Restaurants, coffee, groceries, and shopping
    Makai Golf Club — about a 10-minute walk: Beautiful ocean-view golf on Kauai's North Shore
    Hanalei Town & Hanalei Bay — about 15 minutes: Beaches, surfing, restaurants, boutiques, and the iconic Hanalei coastline
    Anini Beach — about 15 minutes: Snorkeling, paddleboarding, and beautiful reef-protected waters
    Kilauea Lighthouse & Wildlife Refuge — about 20 minutes: Dramatic coastal scenery and one of the island's most memorable viewpoints

    Why Guests Love This Location: Alii Kai 1201 gives you a peaceful place to come home to while keeping the best of Kauai's North Shore within easy reach. Spend the day hiking, snorkeling, golfing, or exploring Hanalei, then come home, open the lanai doors, and let Kauai put on the evening show. Come for the North Shore. Stay for the views.

    Good to Know
    * Top-floor unit: One flight of stairs is required; there is no elevator.
    * No air conditioning: The condo relies on natural trade winds and ceiling fans for cooling.
    * Free Wi-Fi is provided. As with many properties in Kauai's remote North Shore, occasional variations in speed or reliability are to be expected.
    * Rental agreement: All guests, whether booking directly or through a third-party website, are required to complete a rental agreement within 3 days of booking.

Family Vacation

The bed was super comfortable, unless you like a firm mattress, I slept like a baby hardly noticed the roosters after the first night. A newer Fridge with a great ice maker was awesome as was the washer and dryer. Location was great not perfect but great. Bedroom view of the mountains was beautiful. We were steps away from Turtle caves which did not disappoint on any day or time if day. It was a fabulous stay , not the Ritz but worth the cost. One small problem with a ceiling fan but it should be taken care of soon.

Great Location near the Turtle Caves

Location was great. Very easy to communicate with. The space for our family was great for our 3 week stay. The primary bed was way too soft for our comfort but the other bed was fine so we so switched on and off with the kids. There was a bit of an ant issue when we got to the home and we were very careful to not leave food out for it to get worse, but it was manageable. The availability of the BBQ’s was great to have access to. The private balcony was a nice and relaxing way to enjoy the morning sunrise on one side and afternoon and evening at the back looking at the mountains. A bit outdated but overall a nice place.

Reviewer Comments: Very clean with comfortable beds and tropical breezes always keeping the rooms comfortable. Would have enjoyed bigger lanai so 4 of us could eat around a table. More information about the area would be helpful - such as the Adirondack chairs near the cliff for whale watching. Hard to correspond about non-working tv due to the large amount of cellular dead spots on the island. Texting would have been better than phone calls.

The dining and kitchen are ocean views. The dishes, silverware and cookware were clean and nice. Short drives to Hanalei and Anini beaches. We would stay here again. We rank it a 5/5.

Spacious with mountain and water views

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: There was only two of us but the apartment had plenty of space for 4. We enjoyed having the two balconies with different views and position for enjoying sun or shade depending on the weather. The location was great with shops and restaurants only a short drive away. You did need a car to drive to the beach and to successfully navigate the island. A cruise out of Hanalei Bay and a doors-off helicopter ride over the island were fabulous must do activities. We also did a day drive to Waimea Canyon (1 1/2 hours from Princeville) and found that to be incredibly scenic as well. Was easy to fill our week. Loved it.

Kauai VRBO stay

The rental was good but dated. Great location and easy to get to. All was good, even without AC, as the condo was pleasant and not too hot because the breezes were enough to keep the temperatures comfortable. We enjoyed the wraparound lanai as we had the view of both the mountains and ocean and could enjoy the sunny days on either side. One issue we had was with the TV in the living room. It was difficult to use as it appeared to only be steaming services with older movies and TV shows and no current TV channels. We had to watch real TV in the bedroom. Not exactly the most comfortable way to watch NCAA basketball. Would have been nice to have had some instructions if actual live TV was available. All in all it was a pleasant stay.

No elevator, so be prepared to carry up your luggage. Liked the numbered door lock, so did not have to carry a key. Comfortable unit. Appreciated the well-furnished kitchen and the beach supplies. Nice flat-screened TVs. Especially comfortable mattress topper. Great views of the ocean and the mountains from the L-shaped patio. Easy to get to Hanalei and the other beaches further north. Later stayed in a Poipu rental, so didn't have to do too much driving. Would stay here again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place was a beautiful haven for celebrating my birthday with my mom. First time Kauai, wasn’t sure what to expect, love the location, the view is everything. Super clean and pristine and spacious. It’s at the end of the road so it’s very quiet (except the roosters). The kitchen is a little outdated in terms of the wood and counters but the view and the overall zen energy makes up for it. Great simple decor and feng shui. do wish they supplied a few kitchen amenities such as cooking oil salt pepper the basics that a lot of other places offer, some kind of water filter, coffee etc. The beach chairs and towels are a nice perk. King bed is super comfy and soft, Murphy bed a little firmer. It was nice to have two bathrooms and laundry access... Would totally come back again, fabulous experience.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a wonderful condo in Princeville. Well appointed, super comfy couch, nice kitchen and spacious overall.The master bedroom was very nice with it's own bathroom and the bed was comfortable (slightly soft, but very supportive). Linens were also very nice.The 2nd bedroom had a comfortable mattress as well but the frame is squeaky. 2nd bath also very nice.The ceiling fans in every room were incredible and really moved the air well. Windows/doors on both sides allowed for good airflow and breezes to come through, not to mention gorgeous mountain views from every room and a small view of the ocean from the kitchen dining area. Sunsets and sunrises were really nice. It's a very quiet complex as well which was nice at the end of the road so no speeding traffic. Would absolutely recommend to friends/family. Not the property's fault but be aware the roosters really are EVERYWHERE and they like to sit below the windows and crow starting at about 3 am. Ear plugs were very handy.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

GOOD: Location was ideal, upstairs corner unit facing breathtaking mountains & the sea! Basic pool area nearby. Facility & grounds beautiful & well maintained. Condo was easy to find - read the app instructions. Easy parking & check-in. Door uses a code, really convenient. Unit was very clean & well stocked. Kitchen had everything but a cutting board. Toilet paper/paper towels/dish/laundry/bath soaps provided. Fridge/washer/dryer fairly new & there’s a working dishwasher. Soft organic cotton bedsheets. Lots of bath/kitchen towels & drawer/closet space. BAD: Reviews mentioned primary king bed was too soft - Manufacturer’s tag dated 1998, unusable! Had to sleep on queen Casper murphy bed in extra room but took mattress off the very squeaky frame. After 4 days corresponding w/the property manager, they eventually agreed to a partial refund & replacing it asap. UGLY: Photos on VRBO site made this place look well-maintained & stylish, but it’s in SERIOUS need of an update. Lighting is VERY harsh, aggressive high-wattage cool bulbs w/blinding intensity. Design felt neglected. Old/mismatched/unstylish furniture covered in watermarks & rust. Cabinets/countertops/backsplashes relics of the 80s. Couch was a comfy newer addition(no colorful accent pillows.) Takeaway: Amazing location & great stay despite avoidable issues. Place needs love & attention! If bed replaced & the lighting addressed, we would def stay here again, if property manager would have us. Mahalo & Aloha!

The VRBO worked well for me and my grandson. Having 2 bathrooms was great. The place was clean, equipped with a majority of needed items. I liked how close it was to Foodland, for grabbing a couple of groceries. Plus, it was near the attractions we were interested in. The rooster's crowing all hours was annoying, but when you consider 450,000 chickens to 80,000 people on the island, what can you do. The maintenance crew failed to respond to a couple of small issues, but it was Memorial weekend.
