About this apartment rental

Located on the seaside cliffs of Kauai’s beautiful North Shore, Ali'i Kai 4303 is a top-floor retreat with the most incredible ocean views in every room! It's truly a whale watcher's dream come true. Inside you'll find two attractive bedrooms, each with their own ocean view picture windows, an inviting living area, and a fully-equipped, beautifully updated kitchen. For those of us that aren't lucky enough to leave work on the mainland, you'll even find a well-lit desk in the master suite that makes the perfect home office. You'll also enjoy the dramatic views of the Pacific from the private balcony lanai, which is the perfect spot for enjoying a peaceful sunrise or sunset over the water. Key Amenities and Features Accommodations: 2 Bedrooms (king bed and queen bed) with ocean-view picture windows and premium bedding. Ocean Views: Panoramic Pacific views from every room, including the private balcony lanai. Fully Equipped Kitchen: Beautifully updated with modern appliances and essentials for home-cooked meals. Remote Work Ready: Dedicated home office desk in the master suite with high-speed internet. Resort Perks: Access to swimming pool and outdoor gas grill. Top Things to Do Near Ali'i Kai Resort Centrally located in Princeville, HI, providing easy access to the North Shore's best attractions: Beaches: Anini Beach (15 mins) for snorkeling with sea turtles (Honu) and Hanalei Bay (15 mins) for swimming. Golf: A 10-minute walk to the nationally ranked Makai Golf Club. Dining & Shopping: 1 mile from Princeville Center (Foodland, Saturday Farmers Market) and minutes from Hanalei’s famous Dolphin Restaurant and Wishing Well Shave Ice. Nature & Sightseeing: Visit the iconic Kilauea Lighthouse and Wildlife Preserve (20 mins away). Frequently Asked Questions Is this a good spot for whale watching? Yes. Between November and April, the private lanai offers an elevated vantage point to spot humpback whales. Are there stairs to access the unit? As a top-floor unit in the Alii Kai complex, access is via stair access, there are no elevators. What is included in the rental? The unit is stocked with beach gear (chairs, umbrellas), a washer/dryer, and a full kitchen. If you find yourself wanting for an activity other than soaking up the amazing views from the condo, Ali'i Kai 4303 is primed for you to take advantage of all the North Shore has to offer! Anini Beach is just 15 minutes away, and has crystal clear waters that are perfect for snorkeling! You might even catch a glimpse of a Honu (Hawaiian green sea turtle) while you're there. Hanalei Bay is also just 15 minutes away, and has beautiful golden sand beaches with calm waters perfect for all ages of swimmers. The charming island town of Hanalei is right nearby, and has a variety of boutiques and delicious restaurants and cafes for all your shopping and dining needs. Fresh fish dinner at the Dolphin followed by shave ice at Wishing Well will always be the perfect evening if you ask us! If you want a break from the crowds, we recommend heading to Kilauea, just 20 minutes down the road, to check out the iconic lighthouse and wildlife preserve, and to grab a coffee from any one of their cute cafes (Kai Bar and Trilogy are both excellent). If you prefer sticking a bit closer to home, the Princeville shopping center is just a mile away, and has plenty of options for shopping and grabbing tasty bites, as well as the Foodland grocery store for even more convenience! Stop by on a Saturday morning and you can hit the farmers market before heading over for the free hula show in the afternoon. The nationally ranked Makai golf course is also just a 10 minute walk away from your front door, and has some of the best golfing in the country. The exterior entryway to this property is monitored by a security camera. As with most homes on Kauai, this vacation rental is NOT air conditioned, though there are fans in each room and screen doors on the lanai to help with air flow. This is an upstairs condo so you need to be able to go up and down two flights of stairs from the parking lot to the front door (roughly 22 steps). There are no elevators. 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.

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: Excellent experience. The condo is basic but totally clean and has everything you need including a cooler, beach chairs, plus everything you need in the kitchen. The best thing is the view from every room. Unbeatable. I feel like the guest/kids room is actually the best spot to relax. We will definitely return. Management company was very easy and attentive. Highly recommend. Being a top floor unit makes it very quiet. Love this place.

Amazing place - great views and location! The views were unreal, and surrounding areas were beautiful! A lot to do within the area - trails, food and coffee trucks, farmers markets, etc. Will book again in the future when visiting the island :)The only hiccup that we can across was with the tvs and controls. All the control batteries were dead. They reached out the following day about this, and new batteries were brought by the next day! Thank you for hosting us again! :)

Property was clean, comfortable and had an amazing view! No complaints at all about the property! Only complaint was communication with the property management. We specifically booked a property with a washer/dryer as this was midway through our trip and we needed to do laundry. Dryer did not work and when I called first thing in the morning, I was told they would get maintenance out that day and would update me. Never heard anything again and when i called later that afternoon I was told that I was given incorrect info, the dryer needed a part and it would take 8 weeks to arrive from the mainland. I explained that doing laundry was important and they should have let me know in advance. This is when I was told that someone had called me a few days prior to alert me to the broken dryer. This never happened! They then directed me to a drying rack I could use. But by this time, it was 4PM and we were leaving the next morning. The weather was rainy and humid and there was no way a drying rack would be able to dry a couple of loads of laundry inside on a damp, rainy day. So we headed off the next day with damp laundry. Property was great, but did not like management being dishonest in their claim of communication.
