About this house rental
Enjoy Kauai's simple pleasures and grand landscapes right from home! From the moment you arrive, you immediately sense the Aloha spirit and the other-worldliness of Kauai's North Shore. Hanalei Bay Villas' surroundings are stunning and beyond beautiful; the unique charm, ideal location, and dramatic beauty provide an island experience to be treasured.
The Layout:
The home comfortably accommodates up to five guests. The villa is a traditional Hawaiian-style, two-story design with 1,365 sq ft of living space. Ultra high speed internet (268 Mbps) and all the comforts of home. To the South, the view looks over a lush green valley toward the rugged interior mountains with cascading waterfalls, shifting clouds, and brilliant rainbows. To the North, the home opens on to the shimmering blue Pacific. The scenic cliff overlook is a great place to take in sunset and to whale watch. These natural surroundings provide a dramatic backdrop to your island retreat; some of the most beautiful scenery on the island is right at home.
The living space, covered lanai, beach closet, and half bath are on the upper/entry level. The lower level of the home has three bedrooms, two full baths, another covered lanai, and laundry area with full size washer/dryer. Primary bedroom has a new Queen Tempur-Pedic firm mattress and walk-in closet; 2nd bedroom has a brand new King mattress and large closet; and office serving as the third bedroom has a new Twin XL and desk.
Villa #29 sits atop a ridge-line allowing ocean trade winds to flow through the house keeping it fresh, bright, and comfortable. There are numerous louvered windows, sliding glass doors, solar shades, ceiling fans and several area fans throughout. The primary and second bedroom have A/C units for additional sleeping comfort if desired, and the 3rd bedroom has louvered bay windows with an ocean cross breeze.
The Neighborhood:
Beautiful beaches are within close walking distance. A short and steep foot trail leads down to Kenomene Beach (aka 'Hideaways'), ideal for basking on the warm golden sands or resting under the large shade trees. This 300' stretch of beach is divided by a rock outcropping and offers great snorkeling and coastal views. Pu'u Poa Beach on the eastern shore of the bay fronts 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay and can be accessed by an outdoor staircase.

You can play the award winning Maka'i golf course, jog along the 3 mile path, practice sunrise yoga on the bluff, workout at the outdoor fitness circuit, visit the playground and play tennis at the nearby courts. Princeville Ranch offers private horsemanship lessons on 2,500 acres of private lands on the North Shore of Kaua'i and several artist and farmers markets take place throughout the month at Prince Albert Park.

Our family had a great time in Princeville! The property was just as advertised and had everything we needed along with great recommendations. Thank you for allowing us in your home.

This property has it all - prime location, multiple bedrooms and baths, well stocked kitchen, parking, washer/dryer, and it was clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated (all the charging stations for our devices were very much appreciated!). Thank you very much for such a pleasant stay!

We loved the wonderful home near Hideaways and the 1 Hotel. Easy drive into Hanalei and the Haena State Park. Thoughtful amenities! We wish we could stay another week or month!
5.0
Wonderful home and location for our first visit to Kauai. The owners truly want to share their knowledge and experiences with you, providing an in-depth guide on the sights and opportunities available on the island along with the amenities you need including beach, snorkeling and hiking gear. Nice, comfortable and very well-appointed home with stunning views. Excellent communication with the owner, who checked in with us throughout the trip. We would love to stay here again!

Comfortable, pretty free-standing cottage perched on a hillside with great views in either direction! The well kept house has everything you could need - local bath products, surfer microfiber towels, a closet full of beach gear, stocked modern kitchen, comfortable furniture and nice linens, a top notch guidebook with tons of great local recommendations, ukuleles, and much more. It is obviously a place that the owners love and have used themselves for many years, and it shows.
It's part of a golf course community and there are tons of people jogging or walking by, looking at the amazing view from the bluff across the street from the villa. It's about 2 miles to the town of Princeville but you can walk to a couple of restaurants (the golf course grill, a highly rated breakfast place that was closed when we were there) AND it's just up the street from the super fancy 1 Hotel, that has several high end restaurants and bars. The hotel entry post was restricting non-guests from walking in when we were there (spring break week) but if you walk down to the public beach along the side steps (Puu Poa Beach) - the beach bar is right there, and you can access the hotel. Amazing sunset drinks!
One thing to note: if you have little kids or older folks (like we did) the beach access from this cottage is not easy. It's a long walk with a lot of stuff down a steep hill or steps. We ended up driving around for easier beaches, which was fine - just something to know.
Mahalo Donna!

This has to be one of the best equipped rental properties we have ever stayed at. Truly felt like you were in a home away from home. The location was also great - especially for viewing sunsets and the birds and greenery off the back of the property. The stay was just perfect!

This was a perfect house for our first visit to Kauai. The homeowners have thought of everything. They manage it themselves and put a lot of attention to detail into their home. The house was spotlessly clean and you really have everything you could think of (i.e. beach towels, umbrella, chairs, supplies like laundry detergent, etc). The location was also good, within walking distance to a golf course and some restaurants. We had a rental car and there was an assigned parking spot near the house for us. We will definitely recommend the villa to others.

We enjoyed our stay here. It’s our 5th visit to the island and 3rd time renting through VRBO, and it was our favorite rental property by far.
The location was perfect, decoration of the house was very welcoming, and spacious enough for 5 of us. Appreciated their beach equipments and tumble water bottles which we used daily.
I wasn’t used to using an electronic stove top, but other than that, their kitchen is well equipped as well. Very comfortable stay.
Loved the mountain and the ocean views, walking distance to 1 Hotel and Hideaway beach.
We’ll definitely try to stay here again on our next visit. Thank you Donna!

The property's description is very accurate. We found the location and dwelling met our needs exceptionally well. Please keep in mind this is in a residential community.

Villa 29 was a great escape! The ocean out the front door and then the tropical jungle from the back lanai was breathtaking! The villa inside was just as special with everything one needs to experience a truly fun and relaxing vacation.
5.0
Donna is a great host. Her communication and attention to detail is top tier! We just got back and already long to be sitting back on the lanai. The location of this villa is prime. One side is a jungle and mountains with waterfalls. The other is a Cliffside ocean view the commands a crowd at sunset. However this site your front yard. The best shopping, beaches, views and restaurants are literally steps away from your Villa. Great for a photographer such as myself. With potential gardens and the queens bath at your doorstep. I didn't want to leave.

The location of the property is incredible! Views outside front door and back door are breathtaking. Home is well equipped with everything you need for your travels including cooking essentials (like oil, flour, sugar, and spices), beach gear (umbrellas chairs, coolers, and sunscreen), tp and paper towels, and some toiletries. Very comfortable accommodations. Communication with owner fast and reliable. Our family had the best time in Kauai and cannot wait to go back.
Thank Donna and your family!

This is absolutely one of the best rental properties. You cannot beat enjoying coffee on the lanai with views of the mountains or hearing the ocean out the front door. Beach is just a short 5-10 minute walk. The house has every amenity you could wish for, including all beach gear. Donna and Chase were extremely accommodating and were so generous with a welcome birthday gift. We cannot recommend this place enough.

We usually stay in our timeshare. This trip we tried VRBO (our first VRBO). The villa is beautiful along with the scenery. We will not be using our timeshare for Kauai for future trips but hopefully will be using this property.

Perfect spot in paradise
We had a wonderful time here, waking up to a view of the mountains and stepping out the door to see the ocean is magical. The Villa is extremely well equipped, the kitchen has everything you could need in good working order, and excellent high speed internet (if you need it for remote work). Full beach gear on hand as well. Really a gem of a rental.

Wonderful location
My entire family enjoys staying in this gym. We are so fortunate that we found it several months ago and could lock in our stay. Hideaways beach was beautiful and fun to get to. The water was crystal clear and the snorkeling was impressive. We really enjoyed relaxing on the lanai for our morning coffee with the majestic mountains as our backdrop. It was only a 30 minute scenic drive to get to other high-rated beaches and hiking trails. We travel quite a bit and have to say that this was definitely the nicest place we’ve ever stayed.

Amazing location for vacation
We had a great time at this house. It was clean and the location couldn’t be beat. Ocean in the front and mountains in the back. It was close enough to all we wanted to see and easy enough for day trips to any part of the island. The breeze was enough to keep us cool and we brought a hammock for the back deck that was used often. Donna worked with me when I forgot a bag on the big island and allowed me to have it mailed for the rest of our vacation. Would definitely stay again.

WOW!
This property is perfect! The location can’t be beat. The furnishings are high end, it is spotless and it’s stocked with everything you need. What a blessing to be able to use the beach equipment, too! We plan to bring the rest of the family sometime in the future.

Gorgeous
We had a wonderful stay here. The location couldn’t be better with different views out the front and back. We stayed in April and the breeze coming in the windows kept it perfectly comfortable. We didn’t even use the bedroom AC most nights. The house is just as lovely as the views and had everything we needed. We only used the master bedroom and the bed was very comfortable, spacious master bath. So convenient and helpful to have beach chairs and beach towels. We didn’t need a thing. Parking was easy and convenient. Would definitely stay here again.

A slice of paradise
We loved our stay. Communication was clear and easy, and the owners are very evidently experienced in providing excellent accommodations. So much care has been put into the process it made it super easy for our family.
Location wise, this is one of the best units in the complex, and for us one of the best in Princeville for sure. The view over the ocean and Hideaways cannot be matched, unless you are looking at the mountains from the back lanai! Much preferred to looking at golf course.
There were so many extras from chairs and bodyboards to rain ponchos and laundry soap. The house is well stocked and very easy to navigate. It was the perfect base for us to enjoy a getaway from Honolulu and chill on uncrowded (COVID) Kauai. Would have stayed longer but had to work!
Mahalo for sharing!

Another wonderful experience at this lovely home!
This was our second stay at this villa. It was even better the second time around: extremely clean, so well equipped (kitchen, beach supplies, towels), and the guide book put together from owner was outstanding...so much pertinent information. Thank you Donna! We will be back!
