Elegant Tropical Villa w/ Ocean & Mountain Views - Walk to Beaches & Dining!

10 out of 10, Traveler Award winner for 2024. Hanalei Bay Villa 26 is one of our most popular Kauai vacation rentals with its great views, short walk to beach, and updated interior. Bali Hai sunset views are just steps away. This luxurious 2br/2ba home at Hanalei Bay Villas is beautiful inside with tiger wood flooring, granite counters, and stainless steel appliances. A newly added extra living room window provides stellar ocean views! On the other side, a shady lanai offers mountain views. It's absolutely perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine as you watch the sun go down and try to count the number of waterfalls you can see cascading down the mountain. With a large electric grill and covered dining area, you'll want to be sure to enjoy an al fresco dinner one evening!

You'll find plenty of room for two to cook together in the newly renovated kitchen. Two bedrooms and two full bathrooms are downstairs. Upstairs are the common areas (living, dining, kitchen) and a half bath. There's a smart HDTV and DVD player in the living room. The master bedroom downstairs has a king bed, ensuite bathroom, smart TV, and private ground level lanai, quiet and surrounded by tropical foliage. Guest bedroom is furnished with a queen bed, has an adjacent full bath, and adjacent laundry area with washer and dryer. Both bathrooms are recently remodeled.

This popular Princeville rental home is ideally situated for exploring the north shore of Kauai. The charming down of Hanalei with its numerous shops, restaurants, and beaches, is less than ten minutes away. Anini Beach is an equally brief drive in the other direction. Or just stroll across the street and take the path to Hideaways beach, walk through the grounds of the lovely Hanalei Bay Resort to yet another nearby beach, or head to the St Regis and take the elevator to beach level. (Tip: walk over to the St Regis at sunset and enjoy a drink at the bar as you watch the sun go down over Hanalei Bay.) Princeville shopping center is just over a mile away if you need to grab some groceries, gas up, or just feel like strolling the shops and sampling the various food offerings. Right across the street is Hideaways Pizza Pub, and nearby Hanalei Bay Resort has an outdoor bar with live music, plus dining options.

For your enjoyment, a selection of beach gear is provided, including beach chairs, snorkel sets, and boogie boards. There's a nice selection of books on Hawaii touring, food and cooking, plants and animals, plus a "lending" library. A selection of DVD's includes movies filmed on Kauai! Other amenities include full kitchen, washer/dryer, free wifi, smart tv, ceiling fans, views, views, VIEWS. Sleeps 4. Both elegant and comfortable, Hanalei Bay Villa 26 is the perfect base for discovering the lush and exotic North Shore of Kauai. Hawaii vacation rental registration number.

As with most homes on Kauai, this vacation rental is NOT air conditioned.

Although this home has internet, the speed and reliability cannot be guaranteed due to the remote location and the service being provided by a third-party.

Stunning views all around! This was hands down the nicest and most well appointed rental that we have ever stayed in. It had everything from spices in the kitchen to beach chairs/umbrellas, binoculars, a telescope and even medical and emergency supplies. The villa was extremely well maintained, the host was excellent about communicating, and we can't wait to return.

Best views ever!

This location couldn’t have been better. It got our family of 4 ok. We have 2 teen girls but they sacrificed space for the location. Proximity to beaches and town were great. Will def be back!

This is a gorgeous house with a gorgeous view. The house has a great soul and just feels good all around. You feel like you’re in a home while you stay there. Well stocked and cared for. I would be happy to stay here again if I ever return to the north shore of Kauai.

Ocean view with beauty all around…close to everything we love to do

This was our second stay at this beautiful property. We love the privacy of being in a small, standalone home yet being so close to everything (ocean is across the street, public walking path is a favorite, great restaurants in Princeville and Hanalei, world class hiking, snorkeling at Anini Beach). Home is lovingly maintained with many nice touches. The kitchen is fully stocked. Having a washer and dryer on site is great. King bed is very comfortable.

Beautiful views

We loved our stay! The views off the balcony to the mountains and the view off the front porch to the ocean. I can't think of anything I would change the place had everything we needed. We loved Hideaway Beach and it's just a short walk to the trail. Great walking paths for morning runs and walks too. I miss having I already miss having my coffee on the balcony! We will be back

It has everything you need should you choose to use the kitchen for cooking (very well equipped kitchen!) or all the supplies for a day at the beach, including chairs and soft coolers. Definitely recommend!

Lovely property with amazing views!

We have stayed in several of the villas in this collection over the years and the views are unmatched! This unit is lovely and well-decorated, with comfortable beds (we loved that the second bedroom had a large bed vs the two twins that many units have, which are too short for teens/young adults). And the kitchen had everything we needed, too! Our only feedback was that the beach supplies were much less than described, and not in great shape. And it was a bit harder to get ahold of someone to ask questions than anticipated. But overall we loved our stay!

Fabulous choice in princeville

This was our 5th trip to kauai and we're definitely north shore fans. And it's hard to beat concenience of princeville. Hanalei bay villas stand apart from all the condos in princeville because theyre standalone units and you really feel like youre in a unique treehouse bungalow on the edge of a tropical jungle. Can't beat those morning coffee views. You're just a quick stroll to a fabulous snorkeling beach and the beautiful new 1 hotel is at the end of the street. The unit was soacious and lovely and we appreciated the beach gear. Mahalo nui loa for a great stay. We'll be back!!

Family stay

We had a wonderful stay at villa 26 with my in-laws. It was perfect for four adults with plenty of space for all of us to spread out and have both personal space and time together upstairs. We spent most of our time when we weren't out and about seeing the sites enjoying the beautiful lanai with the mountain views and night stars. And we loved being so close to the 1 Hotel for morning coffee walks. The property is updated and incredibly clean and well maintained - exactly like the photos! The kitchen is one of the best stocked we have come across in a rental home. We also enjoyed the use of the beach equipment when we went out to enjoy the local beaches. Note to management: A non-stick pan would have been great and one of four beach chairs is broken. Would highly recommend a stay here to any families looking for a great spot to explore Kauai!

The perfect home for a getaway

We had a wonderful week in Kauai and Hanalei Bay Villa 26 provided everything we could have asked for in a getaway home. Check in was effortless, the home is spacious and well-stocked, the beds are very comfortable, and the kitchen was so great for cooking meals. It’s a short walk away from what became our favourite beach of the trip (Hideaway Beach) and conveniently located near the various restaurants/shops near the entrance to Princeville, as well as Hanalei Bay. The property owner was very responsive and kindly granted us a late checkout as we had a late flight. Overall, we had an amazing experience and will definitely be recommending this place to our friends and family. Our recommendations for restaurants in the area are Piazza and Tiki Iniki, and for activities on the island, we were surprised by how much we enjoyed the Allerton Gardens tour (not being the types to go on tours, and with a bit of a higher cost than other activities). Mahalo to the owners for a great stay and we look forward to coming back!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Upon arrival, my family deemed the home “the best place we have ever stayed!” and they were absolutely right. What a lovely, spacious, and comfortable place from which to explore all the amazing offerings of Kauai’s north shore. The location is so ideal with wonderful proximity to beautiful beaches, charming Hanalei, and great food, but you could honestly just take in the sights from the home and feel perfectly on vacation. We loved the layout (worked well for sleeping kids with the bedrooms downstairs), the well-stocked kitchen, and of course, the view from all sides. Kauai Kahuna was attentive, well-organized, and very pleasant to work with. We would 100 percent return and recommend!
