About this property

Panoramic Breathtaking Ocean-Sunset-Bali Hai Views + Surf Crashing Below!

Welcome to Hale `Ikena Kai ("home of mystical ocean") at Pali Ke Kua, a unique home vacation experience on Kauai’s stunning North Shore!

This intimate one-bedroom condo at Pali Ke Kua is perched high on the Princeville ocean bluff and offers jaw-dropping 180-degree views of the Pacific, Hanalei Bay and waterfall-laced mountains that will literally take your breath away. It's the ideal place to relax and unwind but also centrally located to many nearby activities. The condo is fully furnished and adorned with everything you could possibly need for a carefree vacation.

Ikena Kai has unobstructed, expansive ocean views from just about every room and the lanai, and is one of the most beautiful vacation home rentals on the tropically-lush park-like Pali Ke Kua property.

As a ground-floor end unit, this condo has travertine-style porcelain tiles in the living area, Bose SoundTouch WiFi music system, 65" Samsung Smart TV in the living room, Quartz countertops, GE and Samsung stainless steel appliances, new Sealy Posturpedic Plus Cal-King mattress, premium sheets and linens, a new washer + dryer and laundry products for our guests' use. Plus, an A/C unit in the bedroom to keep you comfortable when Hawaii's trade winds take a break. Ceiling and floor fans in each room help keep the A/C or trade winds circulate throughout the condo, giving you ease of comfort on those rare hot summer days. (The Pali Ke Kua Association prohibits central A/C.)

With the ocean bluff a mere 20 feet from our lanai, you have front row seats to watch the waves and sea life, smell the flora of Paradise and listen to the surf while sipping coffee, enjoying wine and nibbles while the sun sets or kicking back in our brand new lounge chairs.

A beautiful private swimming pool and hot tub for guests of Pali Ke Kua is a stone throw's away - as well as a paved path on the property, winding down to the ocean and an intimate beach, perfect for snorkeling and swimming. A large private parking lot provides plenty of free parking near the condo as well. And Hideaways Pizza Pub, a full-scale restaurant is on the property for easy dine-in or take-out dinners.

Start your day with a breakfast of fresh fruits grown by local farmers. Then, stroll through our lush tropical vegetation as you use our private paved path to visit the magnificent golden-sand swimming-snorkeling-surfing Hideaways Beach with sparkling blue and emerald water. Fall asleep to the sound of the surf or watch the (seasonal) whales, turtles and dolphins swim just outside your lanai. As the day ends, take a moment to admire nightly gorgeous sunsets from that precious 180-degree view. Then, enjoy dining at Hideaways Pizza Pub , Pali Ke Kua's onsite restaurant or at one of a few nearby restaurants at the recently-opened 1-Hotel Hanalei. If staying in sounds better, cook your own meal in our well-appointed kitchen. Throughout your stay, you will find everything you need at the Princeville Shopping Center, less than 2 miles up the road or take a stroll up a paved walking path to the center. When you feel like exploring, take a short drive to one of the many exquisite beaches along Kauai’s North Shore - Ke'e and Tunnels are just a few favorites north of Princeville. 7 minutes down the hill, just north of Princeville is the iconic beach town of Hanalei, or 10 minutes the opposite direction - enjoy shopping and dining in Kilauea town after swimming with the Honu (sea turtles) at Anini Beach (between Princeville and Kilauea).

Guests of Pali Ke Kua will enjoy a spacious private parking lot nearby the unit.

Great location and well appointed unit
Location is great - amazing views with the sun setting over the ocean every night from an updated clean condo. They have thought of everything - beach supplies (umbrella, chairs, towels, cooler, boogie boards), well stocked kitchen, a rain umbrella we luckily did not need, bath robes, and even charging stations for electronics. Communication and recommendations from the owner were great and timely. They clearly take pride in what they do. We are already planning our return.

Paradise in Princeville
There really is no other way to describe this than simply “paradise “. Although at times the pictures of rental properties can be a bit misleading, I assure you this is not. The view from the lanai is absolutely stunning! The condo is clean, modern and supplied with everything you could want from phone chargers to white robes for the guests. We found the bed to be extremely comfortable, and the washer/dryer in the bathroom was much appreciated. The kitchen is also extremely well stocked with everything you could want. There is a walking path along the nearby golf course for those long morning walks. The private beach is down a rather long steep trail and we found it much less appealing than other nearby beaches. There are beach chairs, boogie boards and a beach umbrella also provided for your use. Anne responded promptly to any questions we had. I just cannot think of any negatives about this Paradise in Princeville. You will not go wrong with this rental.

October Stay
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay, the unit was modern with premium appliances and a bonus for us was the washer and dryer in unit. The location and view were exceptional, sunsets over the ocean in another season but still great. We liked being able to walk to the 1 Hanalai Bay Resort and beach below, great swimming there. The only minor issue we had was getting the AC right, but would definitely recommend this unit.

This property is fabulous and the view truly spectacular. Our hosts, Anne and George, not only shared their little slice of heaven, but also shared their comprehensive tips on all you need to know while on Kauai; restaurants, beaches, activities, farmer’s markets amongst other things. We could have sat on the lanai soaking in the view and listening to the waves all day! Their property is walking distance to the beach below the newly renovated 1Hotel. Great beach to take your beach chairs and bogey boards to- additionally Hideaways beach is literally below their property. We can not say enough about this property!!

Perfect Place to Start Honeymoon
This condo is amazing. It is clean, modern, and very comfortable. The bedroom is air conditioned and there are plenty of fans for the rest of the space. It really only gets hot for a few hours in the afternoon since it faces west and gets direct sunlight. That said, there are shades on every window. The kitchen is equipped with solid pots and pans and other cooking utensils. We also appreciated the in-unit washer/dryer. You really can’t beat the location or the view of this stay. We barely drove since there are great beaches and snorkeling within walking distance. Hideaways beach is a short walk away. It is really a gem. Sunsets from the lanai were otherworldly. We did feel like there was quite a bit of required cleanup to do prior to check-out. By the time we left there wasn’t much for the cleaners to do other than linens, sweep/mop, and polish some details. Also don’t love a 10 a.m. checkout. As we were leaving a maintenance man showed up just a few minutes after 10:00 a.m. Overall, totally a great place to stay and would love to come back and stay again!

Great lication
We loved the lication and found the property accurate per the pictures in its listing. We didn’t see the note about the limited hot water until we got a cold shower in, but learned to shower super fast after that so each could have some warm water. Clean and comfortable furnishings. Selling point is the view! We walked out the lanai door each morning and around the property. Washer needed a good cleaning but it is nice having a washer/dryer.

Better than advertised
Quite possibly the best view of any place on the island! When we vacation, we rarely just stay at our rental location, but we found ourselves sitting on the lanai absorbing the view. The nearby beach access was fantastic as well and was a nightly sunset ritual. The unit was perfect for the two of us and had every amenity we needed - even including small coolers for beach use. We read that neighbors could be easily heard in this development, but we didn't really experience an issue with that. You could definitely hear neighbors on their lanais but that's not unexpected. We visited in March 2023 and the temperatures were just about perfect; this unit has AC in the bedroom, but we didn't need it. If the Trade Winds are blowing, the building orientation and location seems well suited to capture those winds. Anne was fantastic to work with and communication was perfect. When we come back to Kauai, our first choice will be to reconnect with Anne on availability for this unit - we would stay here again and again.

This was our first time staying in Princeville. We normally would rent a house in Hanalei. We much preferred our stay in Princeville! The views could not have been better. The location was great and we could take various paths down to the small beaches below. Great snorkeling and just overall beautiful. Best sunset views on the island. Condo had every amenity needed and then some. Anne was a great and very responsive host. We will definitely be back. Might even consider an off season stay if just to see the winter waves!

About the host

Hosted by Anne & George, Honu Aloha Properties

Host profile image
Since our first visit to Kauai's north shore in 2004, we were hooked. Every year since that first visit, we’ve come and stayed in Princeville, marking the charming and beautiful north shore “our happy place”.
Aside from Kauai, we love to travel the world - always picking a different country or area to explore, embracing the culture, meeting new people, enjoying the local fare. But Kauai is the one constant in our travels every year - the combination of its natural beauty with the pristine Pacific blue, emerald green mountains and majestic Bali Hai, white sandy beaches, rainbow-kissed skies and breath-taking sunsets make it one of the most unique places in the world.
Our primary residence is CA wine country where we tend an organic olive orchard and try to keep up with 2 big, adorable mutts. We enjoy good wine, good food, the good life - and most importantly, sharing it all with friends and family. Now we are thrilled to share our happiest place with new and old friends alike -- perhaps that's you?
Having spent many nights in various vacation rental homes around the world, we put careful thought and energy into making our homes the most comfortable respite filled with Aloha especially for our guests.

Why they chose this property

Pali Ke Kua is a beautifully-landscaped, park-like property spread out on a large ocean bluff. The colorful, lush flora and fauna, combined with the blue Pacific ocean, crashing waves and green mountains of Hanalei (Bali Hai) in the distance make it a pleasantly delightful sight to behold. Each building is only two floors with Ikena Kai being on the ground floor, no stairs to navigate. Our unit is in a smaller building with only 3 other units, making it an end-unit with panoramic ocean and lush garden views from all sides.

What makes this property unique

Ikena Kai, Pali Ke Kua #120 is a uniquely refined and intimate suite on a large ocean bluff with panoramic views of the Bali Hai, mountains, and Pacific Ocean from just about every room as well as the outdoor private lanai. Watch from your lanai as seasonal humpback whales and their young breach, spinning dolphins playing in the surf, sea turtles (Honu) cruising the ocean floor, Albatross, red-breasted cardinals, Nenes (HI state bird) and other indigenous birds fly right outside your window and sailboats serenely pass by in the distance.
The colorful sun sets just outside your lanai making it a most glorious light show and picture perfect moment every evening.
Within easy walking distance from the condo are several activities for you to enjoy: Hideaways Beach directly below the unit, Puu Poa Beach (below Princeville Resort), Queens Bath, Makai Golf Course, Clubhouse & Cafe, Hideaways Pizza Pub, and Happy Talk Restaurant and Sports Bar (at Hanalei Bay Resort).
