Gorgeous Ocean Views From All Rooms! Corner Unit! Cool AC! Aloha Galore!
Aloha and E Komo Mai (welcome)!
Our Hale Makai ('Ocean house') is a spectacular home at a great value. A rare corner unit with gorgeous 180 degree ocean views from all rooms and the wrap-around lanai, we invite you to come here, relax and enjoy the aloha that our vacation home provides (and that Kauai is world-famous for!). Please watch the short VIDEO of our place (you'll find it in with the photos). You will LOVE our condo!!!
The View
Our condo sits on the edge of a bluff overlooking the Pacific ocean and both bedrooms and the living room boast breathtaking ocean views. Wake up to an ocean view from your bed, fall asleep to the sounds of the ocean, have your morning coffee on the lanai and soak up the unspoiled ocean view. In season, watch the whales frolic and the albatross soar by without ever leaving. Also, our condo faces north so from the lanai you can also catch the colorful kaleidoscope of sunrise skies to the east and sunset skies to the west. Our condo is your front row seat to all of the above!
The Accommodations
Our condo is a two-bedroom, two-bath unit that sleeps five comfortably, has air-conditioning (in the summer you will want it!), and is furnished with tropical, island-style decor. The master has a cal-king bed and the second bedroom has a queen bed, both with very comfortable plush-top mattresses and 700+-thread count linens. There is also a full-size air bed (which inflate and deflates in minutes). The master bedroom also has 35" smart TV - so you can use your Hulu/Amazon Prime/NetFlix account to stream your favorite movies.
The floor plan is open and airy, and the condo flows from a well-appointed kitchen (fully remodeled in April 2024) and island/bar to a separate dining area and comfortably furnished living area. For your entertainment, there is a 55” flat panel Smart TV (Roku/Netflix/Hulu/etc.) and an Alexa Echo Dot. A ductless A/C system was installed in late 2025 and there are ceiling fans throughout (as well as ample windows in our corner condo to catch the crisp, tropical breeze). We also provide snorkel gear, boogie boards, beach chairs, and other beach gear to suit all you needs.
The Ali'i Kai complex
Ali'i Kai is a small, quiet complex of 56 units spread over seven buildings. Lushly landscaped with palm trees, birds of paradise, hibiscus, and plumeria trees, the grounds are gorgeous. Ali'i Kai features a resort-style pool, as well as tennis court privileges at the Makai Tennis Club. There are charcoal BBQs in several locations nearby. The inviting walk/jog path that runs through Princeville - with breathtaking views of the mountains on one side and the ocean on the other - is only a half-mile away.
If you have questions, please call or email. Also, because I know that a trip to Hawaii is a major expense and for many it's the trip of a lifetime, I take seriously my responsibility to make your stay a memorable one. I will do everything I can to make you happy!

We loved falling asleep to the sound of the ocean! This place was quiet and had an truly incredible view of the ocean. We definitely will want to stay again!
Beautiful view! Clean, easy access to information. Our host is accommodating and gives helpful advice on dining and activities. I would stay here again!
The condo was neat and clean and the view off the deck was spectacular! The condo was in a great location which made it easy to travel to and from anywhere on the island. I would highly recommend a stay there!
We have been enjoying visiting various Hawaiian islands the past three years! This was our first visit to Kauai. The island as well the condo didn’t disappoint! The views were magnificent as the listing stated! We would definitely recommend this property as well we would return to this location in our future travels!
Great location and Great place! We loved our time there. Would definitely come back. Watching the whales from the Lanai having a cup of coffee in the morning was one of the highlights of the trip.
Our favorite spot in Princeville - nothing but sea and sky from the lanai. Great space for two couples with beach equipment, two baths, comfortable living room, equipped kitchen for cooking. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
This condo is in a very good location and the views are outstanding. It was very well equipped with all basic supplies. Even though it was hot, we were comfortable with ocean breezes and fans. Would highly recommend staying here.
What a great location! The view was incredible from every room. The condo had all the amenities needed to provide us with an “at home” experience. We were very comfortable and loved the ocean sounds at night to drift off to. Saw whales almost every day. A true gift! Thanks for allowing us to share your little piece of heaven. Will definitely come back!!
Easy check-in, beautiful views, very beachy vibe, comfortable. Unfortunately no walking beach access -as I had hoped, (but not suggested by owner-he was great and helpful info)! Very good location for driving short distances to good food (food land poke awesome!) and beaches.
The views from the condo are spectacular. The host was very attentive to one hiccup we had when we couldn’t get in due to the lock malfunctioning. Condo had all the amenities one needed for a delightful.
We had an amazing stay here!!! By far the best view I’ve had in a vrbo rental. Saw beautiful sunrises over the ocean and several whales! You can hear the sound of the waves in every room. The house was very comfortable and clean. The host provided some detergent for laundry which was an added plus after our muddy hikes. The location was very quiet, peaceful, and uncrowded. About a ten minute drive into hanalei which was a nice distance for us. Would definitely stay again!
This property is spacious and provided everything we needed. Like most VRBO properties it could use some small repairs and updtaes, but overall it was just what we needed for a comfortable few days. Washer and dryer were a great benefit as well as the snorkeling gear and beach umbrella.
This condo was amazing. The place was spotless, and even nicer than the photos as the kitchen had been recently renovated. It was very well stocked with everything you’d need in the kitchen, as well as beach gear. The ocean views from every room were gorgeous. It was quiet, and comfortable as well. We could not have asked for a better place to stay for this week on Kauai.
Amazing ocean views. Very cool and refreshing air coming right off the ocean that made sleeping very comfortable...no need for air conditioning during the hottest part of summer. Very clean and well appointed. Beds very comfortable. Excellent North shore location. Highly recommended.
What a stunning unit! Absolutely gorgeous views and the unit is very clean and modern. Instructions are clear and easy to follow. Beds were comfortable and towels were fluffy. Balcony was so nice to have and watch the waves. About 10-15 from Hanalei. We will be dreaming about our time here forever.
This spot couldn’t have been a better fit for us on our trip. For first time Kauai visitors, this spot is close to Hanalei, Kilauea, and the beaches / activities in Haena. The actual home has an incredible ocean view, from which you can see a stunning sunrise. We only stayed here for three days of our trip but I wish we stayed the whole time! The one thing I did wish was that the home had somewhere to hang purses/beach bags and raincoats by the door.
We had a wonderful stay! The property is older and a bit outdated but was clean and had an amazing view and was a great base camp for exploring the island. Waking up and falling asleep to the sound of waves crashing was so serene. We loved being able to sit on the bench overlooking the cliffside and watch the sunset in the evenings. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were really comfortable. The property manager was very responsive to my messages and questions!
Would be a 10 out of 5 if I could. John’s place is very nice and well appointed! We went during a few rainy days and the views made up for not being able to leave. Saw lots of whales from our spot. Plus the waves lull you to sleep. Don’t miss Tahiti Nui in Hanalea and Tikilniki in Princeville shopping center! Would stay here again in a heart beat!
We absolutely loved our Condo. Love Alii Kai area, amazing view, close to Turtle Cove. Recently upgraded Kitchen. The trade winds were AMAZING standing in the living room. My ONLY complaint is that we had to leave!
John was very quick to respond and assist. 11 out of 10 review!
The communication from the owner was great and he left us with really helpful tips on restaurants and activities. The condo is amazing. Right on the water. Watched the surf and whales right from the lanai, living room and bedroom. Nicely equipped kitchen allowed is to make a few dinners of fresh fish from a local market. Princeville is a great location to enjoy the north shore and is a nice community for morning walks before you start your day.
