Photos and Description of the Princeville vacation condo rental
Condominium, 1 Bedroom with Loft, 2 Baths (Sleeps 4)

‘Honu Cove’ is a beautiful, top floor condo in the Pali Ke Kua complex in Princeville, Hawaii (unit 227). The unit has panoramic ocean views and was recently remodeled with hardwood floors, granite counters, new bathrooms and all new furniture. Embodying the “Aloha Spirit,” this Princeville condo rental offers the most amazing ocean views and has all the amenities you'd expect from a two-bedroom condo. The condo is located on a cliff overlooking a spectacular ocean cove. In Hawaiian language, honu ('HO-nu') is the word for the native green sea turtles that swim off the coasts. At 'Honu Cove' you can see these beautiful animals directly from your lanai as they feed in the cove below. Slightly further out to sea, you can also see Humpback Whales swimming by in the winter months (Dec-Apr). Of course, you come to Kauai to get in the ocean and this complex offers a PAVED path to a private beach (others have dirt paths which get quite slippery). Once you get here, you'll never want to leave.

The views and beach access alone would be enough for you to fall in love with this incredible home, but there's so much more. This 1 bedroom + loft unit with 2 full bathrooms has just undergone a massive top-to-bottom renovation. The unit sleeps 4 comfortably and is ideal for couples or small families. The master bedroom has a new, 4-poster, king bed with beautiful matching dresser and nightstands. The 2nd bedroom in the loft has a queen-sized bed with matching furniture. Each bedroom has a full adjoining bathroom with shower that's been completely remodeled with new granite-top vanities, new tile showers and floors. There’s a gorgeous gourmet kitchen with all new cabinetry, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The dining area, with its new glass-top dining set, is surrounded by windows on 3 sides, each with a gorgeous view. Of course, if you’d prefer to outdoors, there is a patio table and chairs on the lanai that allows for great views of the ocean.

You may have heard about the famed 'Bali Hai' sunset as viewed from the exclusive St. Regis Princeville Resort 1/2 mile down the road, but you can marvel at this same sunset just a few steps from your condo. As the sun begins to set, grab your beach chairs (provided) and walk 50 feet out to a beautiful grassy point where you will view one of the most magnificent sunsets in the world. And, while some postings advertise Bali Hai views directly from the condo, keep in mind that Bali Hai is due west of the complex and, by definition, a Bali Hai view means hot afternoon sun in your unit every day. One of the magical qualities of this particular unit is that it has an eastern exposure for cool afternoons on your lanai, but it also has Bali Hai views just 50 feet away. It’s the best of both worlds.

Head just down the road to the luxury of the St. Regis Princeville Resort for dinner, drinks or entertainment. Of course, there’s always the wonderful restaurants in Princeville or Hanalei. Or, maybe you'd rather just enjoy a quiet evening at home and cook a beautiful dinner with fresh fish from the Hanalei Dolphin Fish Market (the freshest fish in town). Sometimes that seems to be the best choice of all.

We travelled with another couple to Kaua'i and this condo was perfect! It had beautiful views, was well-maintained (spacious, yet also providing privacy when needed), beautifully decorated throughout and had a wonderful location. Others had suggested we stay on the south end of the island, but all four of us agreed that we preferred the north side more. The rental company went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, had maps, etc. It was a fabulous week & we would highly recommend this condo.

This condo will take your breath away.

The attention to detail and care shows in this most wonderful oasis. It exceeded our expectations! A well stocked kitchen, breathtaking views, first class comfort, an ocean breeze - what more could one ask for?

The perfect base for relaxation, exploring the island, enjoying sunsets and cooking lovely meals. We plan to return!

This beautiful condo has to be located on the most ideal spot for viewing sunsets in Kauai. Sunrises were wonderful, but each evening we would take the lawn chairs, so thoughtfully provided, and sit on the point to watch the most spectacular view imaginable! Listening to the sound of the ocean was so relaxing as we ate our meals, prepared in the well stocked kitchen. Every morning after breakfast, we would go down to the private beach and snorkel for a couple of hours, and then after showering in the wonderful bathrooms, we would tour beautiful Kauai. The north side of the island was just stunning and the condo is perfectly placed close to a grocery store, ice cream shop, farmers' market, sandy beaches and numerous other activities. Thank you for sharing your very special vacation home with our family!

Positively the most beautiful condo that we've stayed at on the island of Kauai. It was first class all the way. Also, it was the best location, very unique, on a bluff on the North shore. We were able to enjoy the sunrise from the lanai and the great sunsets over the ocean and mountains a step outside on the lawn.

Every morning waking up to that beautiful view put a smile on our face. And we see why you named it 'Honu Cove' Be sure to bring a telephoto lens or small binoculars to see the abundant green sea turtles eating off the rocks at the bottom of the cove. They were easy to spot with the naked eye but we enjoyed getting a closer look with the binocs. every day from the lanai.

We were pretty active but it felt so laid back on the island. We snorkeled, hiked the Napali Coast, took the 'Inter-island Helicopter' (highly recommended..no doors) tour, and beachcombed. If you do the helicopter, take a side trip to Hanapepe and stop at the 'Hanapepe Cafe and Bakery' and say hi to Granny and try her granola too. Their baked goods are out of this world!

The beaches on the North shore are gorgeous and so picturesque, backdropped with lush mountains. We came home with over 1300 pics.! Everywhere you look, it is so beautiful on the North shore, you can't help feeling grateful for just being alive.

We loved the 'Blue Dolphin Restaurant and Fish Market' and 'farmers market' in Hanalei. The word 'fresh' does not come close in describing either of these 2 places. Get to the farmers market early to get the organic produce, it goes fast.

The people who live on Kauai were very friendly and helpful. They enjoyed meeting us as much as we enjoyed meeting and talking to them. The ONLY thing that we did not like was that we had just 10 days on Kauai.

Looking forward to a return visit, to Kauai AND this condo! Mahalo John and Brenda for sharing your beautiful condo.

For the fussy vacationeer who wants an exceptionally clean, comfortable, quiet and outstanding views, this unit is by far the best. The photos do not compare to the actual elegance that this unit offers with an extensive supply of kitchen tools, top of the line appliances, custom and comforable furniture and thick plush towels.

This unit was outfitted not as a rental but for the owners own use, with all the touches of an elegant home. We love the comfy sheets, the music and the wonderful BBQ each night from our own private patio. All of the furniture was extremely comfortable and custom built, not your normal old worn down rental coach or dining chairs and lumpy mattress, which you sometimes have. The views from this unit faced easterly and was an upstair corner unit which provided more privacy and also did not face the hot sun which hits many of the other condos in this complex. It also provided a nice breeze that flowed thru the unit and we were comfortable all the time.

We have stayed at many homes and condo's in various price ranges and nothing has compared to this wonderfully redone condo from top to bottom.. We were also impressed that we did not have to wait 3 weeks for our security deposit that some agencies intentially do, our deposit was returned in less than a week.

Thank you for having a Five Star condo for such an affordable price.

We highly recommend this unit!

First of all -- the view smacks you deep into your soul when you first enter the condo, and it just doesn't stop! Spotlessly clean (up to my high standards!) and stocked with anything and everything you might need for your stay -- we cooked in more than we had planned simply because there isn't a better dining view at any restaurant on the island (well, maybe the St. Regis........). We slept in the loft bedroom because the ocean sound was just so amazing up there.

Great paved trail to Hideaways, swam with the "Honus"....what more could anyone ask for?

I spent a week at Honu Cove with my wife and 9 month old son and we loved the experience. The condo was well appointed and the view was simply breath-taking. We loved it so much that we can't wait to go back, and we'll strongly recommend Honu Cove to friends and family.
