About this property

Mid-century Remodeled Spectacular Ocean Views! 10% Discount for Week+ Stays!

Our spacious remodeled vacation home has amazing ocean, Bali Hai and golf course views and now boasts updated modern bathrooms with Hans Grohe rain showers and fixtures plus a free-standing tub in the master bathroom, state of the art kitchen with Caesarstone counters and Kitchen Aid appliances, all new windows and doors, 8 foot tall sliders leading to the rear lanai, two covered outdoor lanais for dining and unwinding, wall to wall hardwood flooring, wood patio decking, midcentury modern furnishings and an enclosed covered garage. Each room including the lanai is equipped with Big Ass fans, considered the most efficient and quietest fans on the market.

*** Please bear in mind that the trade winds blow so we do not have any air conditioners in the house. If you really need air conditioners, this may not be the house for you - the natural breezes are incredible through the house most of the time. We provide ceiling and floor fans in every room for your use.

Princeville is located just by Hanalei, on the island of Kauai, which is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful places on earth. Its pristine beaches are surrounded by a stunning array of waterfalls and emerald-green cliffs.

Melia Kai is a private home with a sweeping view of the cobalt blue Pacific Ocean and the cascading waterfalls of Namolokama. Located on the Princeville Makai golf course, our house offers the visitor a wonderful opportunity to do just about everything---but it is also a terrific place to do absolutely nothing!

The spectacular views invite you to walk barefoot across the fairway to the edge of a 150-foot cliff (security may ask you to leave so please do not go across before 7 pm after the golfing day is over), where you look down on waves crashing onto the lava rock below. If you watch closely, you will see turtles swimming in the coves beneath you.

You will find that Melia Kai offers the best of two worlds - the luxurious amenities of the Princeville resort area (security patrol, community center, shopping mall and golfing) and the exotic remoteness of Kauai's north shore. One minute you can be sipping a Mai Tai in a crisp summer outfit at the sumptuous One Hanalei Hotel and the next you can be navigating a jungle trail in your bathing suit looking for the waterfall at the head of the Kalihiwai Valley.

Note: Although our home is all on one floor, please note that we have 3 steps with handrails leading up to the front door landing and there is a step down between the entryway/dining area down to the living room area. This home may not work for guests who require handicap access, guests who cannot easily go up and down the step down or guests with small children who may fall easily.

Come stay the week at Melia Kai and experience paradise first hand! We offer discounts for weekly and monthly stays.

Due to neighborhood restrictions, our house is not available for rental for on-site retreats or for guest housing for off-site retreats. We are only available to groups of families and friends. Mahalo! ****

Paradise!
Our stay at this incredible vacation rental was nothing short of magical! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by breathtaking panoramic views of the ocean, visible from nearly every room. Enjoying coffee on the spacious deck in the morning and watching the sunset in the evenings was simply unforgettable.The home itself is impeccably maintained, beautifully decorated, and designed for comfort. The kitchen was one of the best-stocked we've ever experienced in a rental—every tool, gadget, and spice you could need was right at our fingertips, making cooking a delight. Whether we were preparing a bbq feast or simply enjoying a glass of wine with the ocean breeze, we had everything we needed.The hosts have truly thought of every detail, from cozy, high-quality linens to an excellent selection of books and board games for relaxing evenings. The location was perfect—secluded enough to feel like a private retreat, yet close to great restaurants, shops, and beaches.If you're looking for a peaceful, luxurious escape with stunning ocean views and all the comforts of home, this is the place. We can't wait to return!

This vacation rental is beautiful! The location is perfect with golf course & ocean views. There is a place to watch the beautiful sunsets just a short walk down the golf course We even saw a beautiful small wedding on hole #7 on Friday late afternoon. We enjoyed our vacation and will definitely return.

Loved staying here with a group of friends. The guest book gave amazing recommendations, and close to many beaches and restaurants/food trucks. Had an amazing view of sunset and the ocean beyond the golf course. The garage had beach chairs, and there were ample towels/beach towels. Would definitely stay again!

INCREDIBLE
We rent from VRBO frequently and sometimes the photos don't always align . . . but this Princeville home exceeded our expectations! The location is stunning with views of the golf course, mountains and ocean in a lovely, quiet neighborhood. The home was a PERFECT size for the six of us (4 adults, 2 children). Meg has EVERYTHING you could possibly need in the kitchen, laundry, etc. The home is spotless and obviously well cared for. The hot tub was clean and a lovely respite after a lot of family activity! We HIGHLY recommend this home!!

Great stay!
We had a great time staying at Melia Kai! The views are gorgeous and most evenings we walked across the golf course to watch the sunset over the ocean. Great walking to Queen's Bath! The house is really lovely and is in a very safe and convenient location. Meg was very accommodating and easy to work with! We would love to come again!

A serene stay at Malia Kai
Our family of 5 had such a lovely time and stay at Malia Kai. The house is perfectly located with a beautiful view of the mountains and ocean. For a close bite to eat, you can walk to pick up pizza or at Welina Terrace with a view of Hanalei and a Mai Tai. After a day of adventure (surfing, kayaking), it was nice to relax in the hot tub star gazing. We loved our stay!

Lovely Area and Views
Loved our stay! We enjoyed the area and bird watching on the back patio. Unfortunately when we were there the golf course was closed and heavy equipment was brought in to renovate the course. Despite that we still loved the view and sunsets. Good space for 4 adults. Meg is very responsive and a great host. No big issues. My family would definitely rent this place again.

Perfect stay for our family of 5!!!
Meg is a fantastic host and our stay on the island was only made better by this great house. The layout, cleanliness, location, and overall feel couldn't have been better for our family of 5 (three kids under 7). This is our 10th time coming to Kauai and first time with all three kids, everyone shared they hope the house is available again when we plan our return. Thank you for hosting us, Meg!!

We loved this house! I must say we were a bit concerned that the house didn’t have AC (we live in Texas, where that is a must) but it was no issue at all! The house was always cool and comfortable, and there was always a breeze blowing.

About the host

Hosted by Meg Chan Feitelberg

Host profile image
Our family lives in Los Angeles. We are originally from South Africa (Dad) and Chinese from the Philippines (Mom). Our 3 kids were raised in Los Angeles and enjoy the benefits of their multi-cultural background. While the kids were growing up, we frequently came to Hawaii for vacations always dreaming of owning a home in Kauai one day.

Why they chose this property

We have always wanted to own a home on the Garden Island of Kauai. Why? Location, Location, Location. Stunning ocean views and a beautiful golf course just outside your windows. You can see Bali Hai. where South Pacific was filmed. Drive around and you might imagine yourself in the middle of the Hunger Games or in Jurassic World. Kauai is not as touristy as Honolulu or Maui which we prefer.

The house is only one floor and very easy to maintain. You have your privacy unlike hotels or condos. It's a great family home. Spacious enough for a family of 6 or 6 great buddies to hang out but small enough that you don't spend your vacation cleaning up.

Plus we only accept reservations and payments through VRBO/Homeaway so this protects you from scammers or reservation errors (ie double bookings).

What makes this property unique

You get the benefit of a private home in a quiet neighborhood. Please note that Princeville is a community neighborhood and many of our neighbors live here full-time. We have a list of HOA imposed rules that we will send you with regards to respecting the neighborhood and the quietness of it along with some rules regarding our house and taking care of the house so we and others can enjoy it for many many more years. The advantage of renting our home is you get to pick - quiet solitude in paradise or loud, boisterous fun during the day and early evening hours before 10 pm (Princeville's quiet time). In addition, secluded Hideaways Beach is a short walk away behind Pali Ke Kua condos or take a walk in the opposite direction about 16 homes away and explore Queen Emma's Bath. Princeville Shopping Center is a 2 minute drive away and has everything you need (Foodland, pilates, touristy shops, restaurants, wine shops, bars, real estate offices you name it). Apparently beer is the same price at Foodland here as it is in Lihue or Kapaa so no need to shop and shlep. Hanalei Beach is only a short 5 minute drive away and that is pure heaven. Anini Beach with its beautiful sand and calm waters is only 10 minutes drive away door to beach. There is great snorkeling a little further down from Hanalei Beach at Tunnels Beach. Kayaking and SUP are available only 5 minutes away in Hanalei on the Hanalei River. And if you don't want to do much, sit out on our lanai and just watch the golfers and the birds - truly relaxing. Walk out to the bluff through the golf course (at your own risk because security may ask you to leave) with your glass of wine after 6:00 pm (very short walk) and see the waves crash on the lava rock while the sun sets. You can also rent golf carts at a very from the Makai Golf Course clubhouse and ride along the golf course path riding past our house to see the awesome sunset view (be sure to call and reserve your cart ahead of time just in case)
