About this property

The Perfect Relaxation & Beach Destination

Our lovely Nihilani Home is situated ideally in the center of the complex, far away from the noise of Ka Haku Road and just steps to the swimming pool and barbecues. And good news, there is now wireless at the pool! This 2,200 SF, 2 story home has undergone a renovation, is beautifully decorated, and is deliciously air conditioned providing respite from those humid north shore days. Beautiful Pua Poa Beach, overlooking Hanalei Bay, is 1.2 mile walk via 1 Hotel Hanalei for a restorative morning walk and swim. Or 1.5 mile walk in the other direction, via the Westin Resort, brings you to Wyllie's Beach, at the end of the 2 mile long Anini Beach.

The moment you walk through the front door you feel at home. The living room is inviting and comfortable, the kitchen is open with stainless appliances, a spacious Island with counter seating adjacent to the formal dining table, and the bedrooms upstairs are a delightful haven for you and your family.

There are 3 lanai's. The first floor lanai is directly off the living area, a perfect place to enjoy your cup of coffee in the morning, or a glass of wine in the evening. The sound of the breeze through the palm trees is so relaxing and a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. The other 2 lanais are private, one off the Master bedroom with a beautiful view of the pool, and the 2nd bedroom lanai has a street view and just a glimpse of the ocean.

Downstairs is the living/dining area, with plenty of room for everyone, comfortable furniture, and a 60" Flat Screen Smart TV. It is the perfect setting to relax after a long day in the sun. The dining table seats 6 with additional seating at the spacious Island in the kitchen. The kitchen has granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances and is fully equipped with everything you would need to create a meal for you and your family. There is direct access to the single car garage and a half bath rounds out the downstairs.

Upstairs, the Master bedroom suite is very large with a king size bed, 48" flat screen Smart TV, and a relaxing window seat nook which can convert to another sleeping area. The en suite bathroom has double sinks, a Jacuzzi tub and separate shower. And of course don't forget that private lanai.

The 2nd bedroom suite consists of a queen size bed, direct access to the shared Jack & Jill bathroom and has it's own private lanai.

The third bedroom comes with a queen bed and shared access to the Jack & Jill Bathroom. All bedrooms are well appointed and comfortable, with spacious closets.

There is a fourth room upstairs, which contains a large twin/full bed with a trundle bed underneath and a 42" flat screen Smart TV.

A 2nd floor laundry room with full size washer and dryer is directly across from the den area.

This home comes complete with extra linens, towels, beach towels, hair dryer, iron & ironing board, in room safe, and of course free wireless high speed internet.

Right outside the front door you will find a beautiful pool with waterfall and 2 Jacuzzi's.

A feature unique to Nihilani that affords easy parking and access to the condo is the garage parking for 1-2 mid size or smaller: car, SUV or minivan. To pro-actively avoid surprises, garage space is limited to: 1 midsize or smaller SUV or mini van with 1 standard or smaller car. Renting either 1 standard or 2 smaller cars is suggested, to avoid tricky, guided maneuvering required to park 2 vehicles in the garage. Please note, there is no parking available outside of the garage or elsewhere in Princeville. Yes, space is at a premium on this small island in the middle of the Pacific. :) Garage is stocked with Beach Chairs and Beach Toys to enjoy during your stay.

So book your stay and come home to the perfect relaxation destination, and enjoy the Aloha!

This Stay Hit the Mark
Check in information was texted just before we left and everything was clearly explained. Upon arrival we had further information on check-out procedures, which were very doable and minimal, as well as things to check out on the island during our time there. Our family of 8 (4 couples) all had a space to call our own which was very nice. I especially loved my morning's on our master bedroom lanai, listening to the cheerful sounds of the birds. We found the fridge stocked with some items left from the previous renters, so that was appreciated. When I found the broom was broken, Andrew was quick to replace it. Communication was excellent! The whole family felt safe and comfortable in this home. We also loved hanging out by the pool, which we were very close to (about a 1-2 minute walk). It was well taken care of. The hot tub after a busy day of pool, beach, shopping, or hiking was just the way to end the day! We loved the location and if returning to this beautiful garden Island, we would not hesitate to book the same home again! Mahalo!!

Beautiful vacation home!
We had an absolutely wonder stay with my family in January. We often stay in Princeville and this home is perfectly located in the center of town. Awesome pool, very spacious home and super clean with tons of amenities! We would definitely stay her again! Owner was extremely accommodating and we greatly appreciate the fast responses when we had questions.

1st Hawaii trip
Nice & spacious, very clean, plenty of space/beds for 5 adults & 2 teens. Abundance of beach toys, chairs, snorkel gear, beach towels & water shoes. A/C worked great. Only minor annoyance was no working ice maker in freezer so we bought bag at Foodland right down the street. Also be mindful of extra cash cleaning fee due upon arrival when figuring in total cost. Would highly recommend & stay again! We loved our first family trip to the islands!

Concerning cash payment cleaning fee policy
Renters need to be aware when comparing properties that this property does not list cleaning fee in the VRBO pricing details which is against VRBO policy. It is an unfair advantage when comparing properties on total price per night. For a 3 night stay, cash cleaning fee on arrival raised the nightly rate significantly. After I submitted booking request, I received a VRBO email that reservation was confirmed with message from the host embedded in email. I mistakenly thought any cleaning fees were built into nightly rate. Rental agreement was not received via email but does appear in the chat feature which I overlooked. The day before my departure to Hawaii, I received a text w/ "reminder" that cleaning fee was due in cash upon arrival & was sent copy of rental agreement that was acknowledged electronically. I did miss this agreement copy in VRBO chat and since I did not want to be without a place to stay I complied with terms. I didn't understand the need to place cash in garage box within 24 hrs unless someone was going to access the property while we were still there- which made me uncomfortable. Overall the condo was nice, well-stocked, spacious, and clean. The bed mattress in the hallway alcove was very uncomfortable (thin and metal coils could be felt) so the plan for 13yr old to stay there did not work as she reported immediately and we had to concur. Being a short 3 day stay, we did not utilize the amenities (pool/spa) of condo.

This property had everything you need and more! Comfortable beds, beach towels, fully stocked kitchen, essentials. We loved the snorkel gear, surf boards, boogies-and bikes too! The communication was clear and thorough. The property was clean and incredibly comfortable. We loved the pool after a day at the beach. We can’t wait for our next trip!

LOVED this place
We loved this home. Beautifully decorated, huge kitchen, beautiful bedrooms. Lots of space. Air conditioning worked awesome. The one thing I missed was an outdoor dining lanai for our family. There is a dining table on the first floor in the kitchen / living room space. But even though we missed the outdoor table, we loved the home and would return. Thank you!

Perfect for a family of 6
Our family of 6 included my husband and I, plus older kids ages 16 - 20. The condo is clean, well stocked and much larger than it looks in the pictures. Great location with lots to do within walking distance, including golf, disc golf (which the kids enjoyed), Queen's Bath, turtle cave, and Hideaway beach. Short drive to Hanalei. Would definitely stay here again!

Great place to stay…
First week, we were a family of 8. 2nd week we we’re down to 6 Found property easily with directions provided and was in a great location in princeville. We were a little concerned about parking as we were limited to only parking in small double garage and 2 compact cars wouldn’t get us and luggage from airport. We rented a dodge mini van and dodge 7 passenger suv. It was a very tight fit but we made it work..(had couple spotters when parking for the night.) property manager responded quickly by text when we had questions. Pool and hot tub(seemed to be having issues with heater on hot tub)were great and had the right amount of shade/sun. Would definitely stay again if we would come as a larger group:)

great vacation. great property
everything as detailed in listing and as promised. if anything, property manager "under-promised" regarding all of the beach toys, and gear that was available. beach chairs, snorkel gear, beach umbrella, coolers, boogie boards, etc. etc. I've never seen so much recreational stuff available at a VRBO. So that was a great surprise.

About the host

Hosted by Juliana Dodd

Host profile image
We are native San Diegan's and love the Southern California beach lifestyle. We have been coming to Hawaii with our family for decades and when we first came to the North Shore of Kauai, we found our favorite slice of paradise! Being from San Diego, we knew the quality of Brookfield developments and Nihilani is no exception. We chose our homesite before it was built and feel it is the best in the development, away from the road noise and enjoying the best views. We love sharing the North Shore Aloha!

Why they chose this property

If you are looking for a true home away from home, than you've found it. Beautifully furnished, comfortable and equipped with everything you need for a relaxing, inspiring vacation retreat.

What makes this property unique

Steps from the pool, Balmy breezes, swaying palms, a mile from the beach, golf and many other amenities. Not to mention, Nihilani is in an award winning location.
