About this property

Experience the Island Paradise of Kauai's North Shore from above the Treetops.

This spacious, newly renovated second floor unit provides unique, breathtaking views of South Pacific with Whale Watching against the backdrop of mesmerizing, romantic sunsets behind Bali’ Hai’ from your front porch.

The rear balcony offers equally spectacular views of Hanalei Bay, with waterfalls gently cascading into the green lush rainforest of the World Famous Napali Coast. Because you are above the tall tree tops, you get the sense that you are in your very own Tree House! It is the perfect place for a romantic Honeymoon, family vacation, or just a special get-away. Literally, across the street, is the perfect location to catch the seasonal whale migration and the big surf of Kauai's famed North Shore. You can take one of three paths to three different beaches, including Hideaway’s Beach, Secret Beach, or the beach at Hanalei Bay at the base of The St. Regis Hotel. All offer safe snorkeling areas where you can enjoy colorful marine life with snorkel gear provided with each studio apartment. Beach chairs and beach towels are also provided to our guests. There is free reserved, permitted off-street parking steps from the front door. There is also free Wi-Fi and land line long distance telephone service to the US Mainland and Canada. There is a wall mounted cable HDTV, DVD player, and CD player.

This unit has recently been completely renovated with the assistance of a professional decorator and designer to give it that genuine old Hawaiian look that is clean and inviting. The 20' ceilings gives a sense of spacious openness typical of traditional Polynesian homes. The unit was just furnished with a brand new, super comfy deep plush King Mattress and high thread count linens for a comfortable night's sleep after exploring the Island. I have also just installed a brand new 15,000 BTU window A/C unit for extra comfort.

The FULL kitchen has also been recently remodeled with all new major appliances, cabinets, granite countertops, deep well sink with a garbage disposal, and other convenient amenities. The kitchen is fully equipped to prepare meals. There is a new stackable washer/dryer behind closed doors.

The bathroom has also been completely modernized with new granite tile, cabinetry, granite countertops, and vessel sink. A hairdryer, iron, and ironing board is also provided.

This unit sleeps up to six guests with a king bed, a queen sleeper sofa, and two twin beds in the loft area which is easily accessible with a newly designed staircase. The unit has a new powerful 15,000 BTU window AC unit as well as two new remote control ceiling fans for those rare warm days.

Do you need more room? Please see my HomeAway Property #3957852 for Side 2 of this duplex which can sleep an additional four adults. Side 2 is smaller and perfect for a couple, but sleeps up to 4 guest. It has a kitchenette with a full size refrigerator/freezer, microwave, coffee pot, blender, toaster, and wet bar, including a garbage disposal. Perfect for preparing breakfast and light snacks.

You can rent just one side or both, depending on the number of guest in your party.

Gentle, cool trade winds off the South Pacific, complimented with your private views of the mountains, Bali’ Hai’, and Hanalei Bay will leave you with lasting memories of The Garden Isle. Come and allow yourself to be pampered in what is truly Paradise.

As a seasoned traveler myself, the condo has been specially appointed with every amenity and convenience to make your vacation truly stress free. No unnecessary trips to the store to buy things for your stay. All is provided. Just bring your sunscreen and Mai Tai mix.

Of the dozens of countries and hundreds of towns and villages I have traveled to in the world, none compares to the sheer natural beauty of the North Shore of Kauai. Come to relax...and be pampered...you deserve it!

Perfect Location
This was a perfect place to land each day after hiking the Napali coast and snorkeling in the warm, clear waters of Anini Beach and Hideways Beach. The condo had exactly what I needed: a comfortable bed on the main floor, kitchen to prepare healthy meals, reliable Wi-Fi and walking paths to everything from the Princeville Farmer’s Market and Hideaway beach. Highly recommend purchasing the fresh catch of the day at the fish market in Hanalei. Same fish market has THE best sushi rolls. SO many options for fresh produce at the many farms & outdoor markets in the area. Food trucks: Incredible Thai (red curry) at the Princeville Saturday market. African (Sudani style with a Carribean twist) curry at the farmers market in Hanalei was one of the most delicious meals I’ve ever tasted.

Beautiful Princeville
Though the property is a bit outdated, and if you don’t mind some dust this is the perfect stay! We were able to over see some of the minor details of the site. The location is perfect. The management/home owner responsive. And the place was as cute as can be. For 6 people we made the one bathroom work for us. Would come back and stay at this location.

Kauai condo
The condo was spacious enough for four people and had all the amenities for cooking, etc. The beach gear was a bit worn- some of the chairs were broken- and snorkels were not the best. Also, the balcony was shared with the other unit, so it was not private. This is part of the island life, windows always open, but there was construction going on next door for two out of the four mornings we were there and the workers were quite loud. Overall, it is a comfortable, clean rental in a beautiful setting, and we appreciated our time there!

Great location!
Really loved staying at this condo. Great to be across the street from the sunset park, easy walk to the beaches, and great view from the deck. Kitchen well-stocked and king size bed really comfortable. Heads up- the final check-in email from VRBO did not include the key code; you have to pay attention to a prior email to get that info.

Beautiful view of ocean and mountains.
Beautiful view of the Makaleha Mountains and Hanalei Bay off the balcony. Ocean view out the front door. Lovely area and close to golf course which includes a walking path. The condo is very nice and everything you need in the kitchen, including lots of spices. Also provides beach towels and beach gear. Has a/c but we never used it because the days were mild and the evening cool. Stack washer/dryer in the kitchen was so convenient. King size bed was very comfortable. Minutes away from Foodland grocery store which has everything you need. Love the location in Princeville as you are close the Na’apali Coast and great hiking or head south to Kapa’a. Bubba’s burgers are very good. Also lots of restaurants and shops. Po’ipu Beach is nice and has a blowhole. Continue on up to Waimea Canyon. Best to go on a clear day for the spectacular views!!

North Shore Kauai 2023
While not our first visit to Kauai, it was our first stay on the north shore. Definitely has become our favorite. Condo was great and well equipped. The beach gear traveled with us during our stay. Unique set up for a Studio, we always rent a one bedroom but this was fine. Location was great. Walked to Hideaway beach and there was also a great shore walk at the end by the new hotel. Most of our beach time was spent at Hanalei Bay which was only 20 minutes away. Would stay here again and recommend to anyone.

Great location! Nice place to stay as you explore Kauai and take in the North Shore.
Overall great- would stay there again. -Lock box tough to get key out at first, After an all day travel day, took a bit, but we figured it out. -Parking can be tricky if another guest parks in your spot. Just keep the parking permit on your dash and you'll be fine. -Spectacular sunsets right outside your door every night. -Nice grocery store around the corner if you want snacks or ingredients to cook in the nice kitchen. -Quaint deck to sit and veiw the beautiful moutains and listen to all the wildlife. So many birds here! -The walks to great beaches were easy, but if you want to drive and park to get to a beach, very limited parking. -Neighbors right next store, but didn't hear them-felt very private, even though we share the deck. -and my husband could watch Sunday football by accessing his own YouTube account via the TV in the VRBO. -Very pleased and loved our stay!

I can’t even say enough good things about this property! Steps away from an insane lookout for sunrise and sunset. Super clean. Great communication with the host. We absolutely loved this area of Kauai and will be coming back as soon as possible. Great stay for a great price. Only little thing is that it is across the hall from another unit and you are able to easily hear through the doors. So make sure to bring sound machine for sleeping if you don’t want to potentially hear snoring during the middle of the night 😂

Sehr schön
Die Wohnung hat eine gute Lage und war auch für uns als 5er-Familie gut ausgestattet. Bis zum Zugang des Hideaway-Beach geht man nur 5 Minuten. Der Schlafbereich unter dem Dach ist allerdings sehr warm, auch wenn es extra noch zwei Ventilatoren gibt. Die kalte Luft der Klimaanlage kommt dort oben nicht richtig an. Nach der Abreise hat uns der Vermieter informiert, dass wir die Oberfläche des neuen Esstischs beschädigt hätten. Vermutlich ist uns das durch einen heißen Topf passiert, aber wir waren von einem alten Schaden ausgegangen, weil uns die Sache nicht sofort aufgefallen war.

Une belle place pour rester
L’appartement est situé à Princeville Kauai qui est magnifique. L’appartement est situé à proximité de Hideaway Beach et PuuPoa Beach, qui sont 2 magnifiques plages. L’appartement est bien équipé : chaises de plages, parasol, glacière, palmes, masques et tuba. Lors de notre voyage des travaux de peintures extérieurs avaient lieux ce qui compliquait l’accès à notre logement et entraîné certains désagréments. Outre cela notre séjour a été des plus agréable.

Outstanding - I don’t think we could have found a better place in Kauai!
We rented unit 1 and 2 with a family of 5 that included teens. The units are clean and comfortable, gave everyone space, and were incredibly well equipped - washers/dryers, boogie boards, snorkel equipment, etc. They were slightly outdated in decor, but you don’t really care because the views are superb, the location is amazing, and Jim is the best - friendly, helpful, responsive and super accommodating. We would definitely stay here again and will recommend it to our friends.

Fabulous Princeville Stay
Our family of six stayed for a week -- family wedding, multiple excursions, and sightseeing. This location worked well for us as a base for all parts of Kauai. We greatly appreciated the host's responsive communication both before our trip and upon arrival. We also appreciated the beach umbrella and chairs that we used on our snorkeling day. Two of us had equipment but two of us needed to use what was there. Kauai is simply beautiful; one of our favorite things was to take our coffee and walk across the street to sit on the bench in appreciation of morning!

Paradise in Kauai
My husband and I just had a wonderful 10 night stay in Paradise above the treetop! The condo was immaculate upon check-in. What a comfy stay. Bed was great! Very nice furniture like new. Kitchen had everything we could ask for. Great beach supplies available to use. The view from back lanai was heavenly and we enjoyed all the birds that came to visit. And the lookout spot across street provided breathtaking sunsets! This condo is within walking distance of Hideaway Beach, and so much more. We walked down to Hanalei Beach, to the Princeville shopping center, and many other places. We couldn’t ask for a better and more convenient place and will definitely stay again when we ever get back. Mahalo to our host and great housekeeper we enjoyed chatting with!

The condo was very clean and comfortable. It sits in a quiet neighborhood and there is a great place just across the street for watching sunsets over the ocean. Beach access requires a short but steep hike down to a beautiful little sunning and snorkeling spot. Beach chairs, towels, and gear is provided by the host. The host was immediately responsive to all of our questions both before and during our visit. We will definitely plan to be back!

Very nice property, we could see the potential for some awesome sunsets, but it rained or clouded up all 3 nights shortly before that time. Only minor comlaint...who the heck puts a dimmer switch on the bathroom lights? It's a little tab on the side of the switch. One of our kids must have hit it when we first got there. We spent all of the first night and next morning using the bathroom in almost darkness till i found the durn thing!

About the host

Hosted by Jim Nicholas

Host profile image
Originally from Philadelphia, followed by Law School in Chicago, I have lived in sunny Florida for the past 31 years, and have been blessed with the opportunity to travel the world many times over, and although I have experienced, first hand, the beauty and adventure of many foreign lands, nothing in my travels compares to the North Shore of Kauai. It is, by far, the most beautiful, exotic, and romantic place on earth...a place where the landscape seems almost unreal...a place where one can truly find a piece of Heaven, right here on earth.

Why they chose this property

Hale Moi is conveniently located directly across from Hideaways Beach and the whale watching area...a place to enjoy the spectacular sunsets behind Bali Hi'. This second floor duplex is fully equipped with all the amenities and conveniences of modern living, nestled between the ocean and mountains, with full vistas of both. Truly, the best of both worlds.
