Hanalei Bay Resort 1557-58, Princeville Kauai

Lovely Mountain View

We rented both units, 1557 and 1558, which worked well for us. 1558 has a full kitchen and a washer/dryer, both of which we wanted. 1557 provided us with an extra bedroom and bath, which we like (older married couple). Also, renting the extra 1557... more unit ensured more privacy and quiet. The units are on the top floor and have an unobstructed view over a valley to the green Kaua'i mountains and a few very distant houses. One has a feeling of great privacy, although if the guests below or in the next building were noisy one would hear that. Other than that, it is just bird song and roosters. Both units had comfortable and attractive furniture and felt homey. The kitchen was well appointed. I was not able to connect to the aloha Condos Wi-Fi, even with the owner's help, but was able to connect with the Ethernet cable provided with the router. Overall, the condo provided us well with our needs, was comfortable, and had this Hawaiian ambiance including the lovely view. We enjoyed our meals on the lanai even when the trade winds were somewhat noticeable. If we return to Kaua'i, we would like to stay at this condo again. less

Great place in Kauai

This place is amazing. The view is spectacular. The condo is equipped with everything you need and more. It is 5-10 minutes easy walk to a wonderful beach where you can snorkel and swim with large sea turtles. Don't hesitate to rent this place for... more your vacation. So much better than a hotel. I will gladly answer any questions one might have about this place in private email conversation. Do not hesitate to contact me. less

Excellent service, beautiful facility, beautiful views, just mor

From the pictures it seemed like the unit was very small and space would be tight. But, we left the murphy bed down the whole time and there was plenty of room to walk around. The kitchen in the 1557 unit has everything you need... more and more. Beautiful views from the balcony of the mountains. Birds visited our table every morning. Beach is a little hike away, but all you have to do is call front desk and in no time someone comes in a golf cart and takes you there. Washer and dryer in 1557. Super convenient since we went hiking and came back with clothes full of red mud. The resort staff are super nice and always available to help. These are privately owned units so I was a little skeptical about being able to get a hold of the owner during my stay. But, the owner was always available either by phone or e-mail to answer all our questions. Only thing I didn't like was that this units limits stay to 2 people. Initially it was 2 of us, and at the last minute my sister decided to join. Thought I would only have to pay extra for her, but we had to rent the unit adjacent to it 1558. That unit is more like a hotel room with a mini fridge, toaster oven and microwave. It ended up being a blessing but it did cost us more. Another thing to have in mind is that since this is a privately own unit there is no housekeeping service. It was not a problem for us since I usually ask not to have housekeeping service. The resort is located in the north side of the island. Most things are in the south so location in that sense is not best. But, the beach at this location is much nicer and the area is very nice and quiet. The island is not that big. So distance wasn't too much of an issue. less

Our trip to paradise

What a beautiful well kept condo! We have stayed at Hanalei Resort many times and this was by far the best condo we stayed in. The view was fabulous, it was private and serene, with only the birds chattering away. It was the best vacation... more we have had in many years and this comfortable wonderful condo helped make it so! Mahalo! ps. I am already planning my next visit!!! less

We watched 22 waterfalls from the Lanai!(Didn't even need binocu

Jim, We love your condo! You have all the comforts of home which include a complete kitchen with spices and very comfortable bed. We appreciate having the washer/dryer with provided detergent. Thank you for the Welcome bag with delicious coffee and chocolates. Thank you for... more the golf umbrella and ponchos which we made great use of! The location is perfect!We loved walking down to the beach. We were only disappointed that due to the weather we were not able to go hiking along the Napali coast or to take the Napali Sea Breeze tour due to the choppy water. We had a relaxing time and enjoyed every moment. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your condo for the 2nd time. We will certainly look forward to our next time!!! Location. Location.

Relaxing & Private

We stayed in this condo for a week - it was ideal for us & exceeded our expectations. It was spacious, comfortable & well-equipped, with a fantastic view & lanai. Spent many hours relaxing on the lanai with morning coffee or late afternoon "happy hour",... more looking out at the jungle and listening to the birds. Less than a 10 minute drive to a shopping plaza with full amenities. Loved this part of the island and all it has to offer. Hope to return some day! less

— Jim & Patty, Stayed 10/29/2011

Highly recommended!!!

My husband and I stayed in this condo for a little over a week. It was perfect! Two full bathrooms, in-unit laundry, and all the conveniences of home. The balcony spanned the entire mountain side of the unit and had an unobstructed view of the... more mountains. The pictures didn't do it justice. Having the kitchen was very convenient. The location was also convenient. Close to grocery stores, coffee, beaches, and tons of activities. We will definitely be back! less

Our family of four stayed in Condo 1557-58 at Hanalei Bay Resort in September 2010. The location is fantastic and the space was extremely comfortable. Sitting on the lanai was wonderful - overlooking the "jungle" with lots of birds and wildlife. We will definitely stay... more there again. less

Wonderful condo!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at this beautiful condo on Kauai. Jim did a wonderful job of giving us all the information we needed about the condo, including check-in information, driving directions, etc. The condo was very clean, comfortable and secluded. We would... more choose this condo to rent the next time we visit Kauai. We enjoyed using the beach chairs, umbrella & towels for our visit to the various beaches. Thank you also for providing the pack 'n play for us to use when we babysat our grandaughter while our kids went scuba diving. It was truly a relaxing and fun visit to paradise. less

Perfect Honeymoon!

My husband and I recently stayed in Hanalei Bay Resort Condo 1557-58 for our honeymoon. We loved the HBR and the location. Last time we were in Kauai, we stayed further South. We loved staying further north. It was easy to get in and out... more of. Our condo was beautiful! It was clean and had everything we needed. We were so excited when we discovered the beach chairs in the closet, we toted them everywhere! Perfect for the two of us! The view of the mountains and Bali Hai was beautiful! We spent a lot of time on the Lanai, it was awesome! The pool at the condo was great. The staff was friendly, we really appreciated them driving us to and from the beach. It is a long, steep walk. Overall, we loved and would consider both the HBR and 1557 & 58 again! less

Almost Complete Privacy in a Large Condo Complex

Hard to believe that the calm and peaceful balcony is in a busy condo complex. All of the owner's touches, from the packed welcome basket to the detailed, organized "hints" book, are offered with caring and generosity. He clearly cares about this well-maintained property and... more must enjoy making other people happy. less

Quiet relaxing, and fully furnished

When we come to Hawaii we love to get close to nature. Jim's condo at the Hanalei Bay Resort, unit 1557-58 is perfect. The amazing birds softly wake you up in the morning and you are refreshed and ready for the day. Kristen the local... more contact was available when we needed to know where to get groceries (just up the street, btw) and the AlohaCondos.com website was easy to use when we booked. My wife loved the jogging around Princeville and my daughter loved the beach down in front of the resort. The full kitchen was great so that we could prepare all of our meals there and we spent a lot of time on the lanai for meals and to watch/listen to nature. Thanks Aloha Condos and Jim for a great vacation. less

Home away from home

So peaceful and beautiful... We felt at home from the moment we walked in. The view from the lanai feels like your alone in your own private rain forest. If you see Carl the Cardinal or Gary the Gecko (Gary hangs out around the counter)... more Tell them we said aloha! less

Most relaxing place on Earth

We ABSOLUTELY loved staying at Hanalei Bay Resort Condo. We appreciated being escorted by golf cart to our condo with all our things. As soon as I opened the entry door, I was extremely impressed. The panoramic view of the mountains and waterfalls are spectacular.... more The welcome basket was appreciated with water, coffee and delicious cookies made on the island. Jim the owner has thought of everything to make you feel welcome. The kitchen worked out great for several meals particularly loved eating our meals on the lanai. The bed was extremely comfortable. We enjoyed the roosters, chickens and array of birds that sang sweet melodies. We loved the proximity to be able to go hiking at the Napali coast line and the Queens Bath. We loved Anini beach and then coming "home" to the pool and jacuzzi! Thanks for the beach chairs. Thank you for the best vacation of our lives. Mahalo, Nancy and Paul Hoffmann less

Couldn't have spent my birthday better!

Our condo was perfect! It was clean and spacious. The service, with the exception of having no restaurant, was excellent. Uncle Mikey was most helpful with a great sense of humor. Previous to our trip Jim was most helpful in answering questions since we had... more never been to Hawaii before. The resort was very nice; we were not disappointed, although again we would have liked a restaurant. If I travel to Kauai again I may stay somewhere with more of a central location unless I plan not to drive as much as we did in this trip. We thoroughly enjoyed all the tours and hikes we went on and various beaches we visited. We enjoyed our stay tremendously. less

— Julie, Stayed 03/01/2010

Fantastic place !!!

WE had an A+ vacation time @ this condo in Hanalei. Jim the owner really goes out of his way on welcoming us w/ a basket of goodies. (coffee,chocolate,etc). It was a very nice touch. There were also plenty of spices in the kitchen,papertowels which... more we would normally buy if staying in the condo. The kitchen is well equipped.The condo has modern, nice furnishing w/ gigantic fans in the living room & bedroom,flat screened tv & beautiful lanai (balcony) facing the mountain view. This condo has the best view, as it's facing the mountains, it was quiet & very private. The night before, it rained heavily & when we got up the next morning, we had the pleasure of viewing 21 waterfalls, Thanks to the binoculars that Jim had. ( Boy, he thinks of everything.) The service at the resort was great. We enjoyed our dinners & entertainment @ the restaurant. The resort is close to Hanalei town where all the nice restaurants are & ofcourse the Hanalei Bay. As a timeshare owner, we have seen a lot of places everywere in the world & we like everything about this place. We already booked to come back in May 2010 for 2 weeks. less

Absolutely Gorgeous Views and Well Thought Out Condo

The views from this condo are superb! It was like having our own private mountain vista with gorgeous greenery, majestic mountains and stunning waterfalls after the rains... and a few chickens. ;) Jim has done a superb job in anticipating our needs with tons of... more little extras. The gift basket was a VERY welcome touch and helped while we oriented ourselves. Little things like dishwasher and laundry detergent, beach chairs, towels & mats, lots of linens, games and video library, and a very useful little library helped. The information folder/binder was immensely helpful and something we'd not seen before. The bedroom setup was excellent. We could sit in bed and watch the flatscreen TV or just enjoy the view. Beautiful lanai that we didn't use nearly enough! In-room laundry and a second bathroom came in very handy. Beautiful well thought out decor with just enough kitch to bring charm and that "lived in/loved" feeling while being remarkably clean and uncluttered. We had almost no daytime rain until the next to last day when a tropical storm hit the North Shore dropping 17 inches of rain in Hanalei in 24 hours. Thank God we were on the Princeville side of the Hanalei bridge which got washed out. All of this in the middle of a beautiful resort with tons of amenities and a incredible private beach walk at remarkable value for the money. It was an incredible way to start to our honeymoon. We'll definitely be staying here again. less

Great Place to Stay

Service from the owner, Jim, was prompt and friendly. The condo is large, clean and very comfortable with everything you need. Plenty of space for a family of 3. Beach chairs, coolers, boogie boards and towels are all provided with the unit as well as... more a fully stocked kitchen. This unit has a mountain view which is very tranquil and amazing. The Hanalei Bay Resort is great for relaxing and offers plenty of options from the huge lagoon style pool, beach, tennis courts and golf. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. HBR is a little tricky to find if you are arriving at night. The North Shore of Kauai is lush and beautiful and being 5 minutes from the town of Hanalei is great plus there are plenty of beaches nearby to explore. The Princeville shopping center is right up the road from HBR, so groceries, gas and anything else you may need is close by. I look forward to returning. less

Loved our stay in Kauai

We had a wonderful vacation in Kauai, staying at this perfect condo in Hanalei Bay Resort. We arrived after dark and when we woke in the morning the view was breathtaking! The view, the privacy, the accommodations were just what we wanted. The condo has... more everything, with the most comfy beds ever. The location couldn't be better, close to all the wonderful beaches on the north shore and the hike of the Napali Coast. We discovered Hideaways Beach, which turned out to be our favorite. There were lots of fun restaurants nearby, but our favorite was one night at the Happy Talk Lounge. Great food, drinks and a band we could have listened to for hours. We will definitely be back and will plan to stay here again. Thanks to Jim for allowing us to stay in this great place! less

Hanalei Bay Resort Condo Unit 1557-58

Hello, I booked this condo just based on what other people have to say and my family loved this place. This unit is in great location. Spectacular view of the mountains and waterfalls. You can't see your neighbor just the way the units are set... more up. We felt like being home in this condo. Everything you need in term for the kitchen and the beach this unit has. The only downside I have about the resort is the location of the BBQ grills. It's very far from this unit. The grills are very old and did not cooked well. less

Awesome condo and view - indescribable in person!!!

Luxurious condo with cathedral ceilings, high-quality appliances, entertainment system, A/C, furnishings, well-maintained, with a peaceful paradise feeling, with a huge view of the mountains and forest canopy. Impressive interior designing. Bright stars from the lanai at night!!! The only complaint is the resident rooster(s) who... more makes announcements throughout the day amid the other tropical birds which can be irritating to one who is trying to rest or want to focus on the other birds who sign rather than cockle doole doo. Other than that, this is the best alternative to an oceanfront condo. less

Fantastic Experience with this Unit and the Resort

This resort offers everything you need to enjoy your stay in Princeville- great service, a fun bar, beautiful landscaped grounds and pools with great views of Hanalie Bay and surrounding mountains. This unit in particular must be one of the best in the resort. It's... more very close to parking and check-in (minimizing walking), yet very quiet and very private. The unit is well furnished and has plenty of balcony space for dining and relaxing while looking at spectacular views of the mountains. less

Great Romantic Getaway

There is not a more beautiful place on the planet!! And the condo was perfect. When my wife and I first arrived we were immediately impressed with how generously accommodating the condo was--fully furnished and equipped and beautifully decorated. We felt welcome and at home.... more It was as if our best friends had made their own place available to us. One thought we had was, "It's too bad we didn't bring the kids." The next morning, however, as we lay in bed and gazed through the wall of windows at the stunningly beautiful view we were so glad to just relax and not have restless kids saying, "So what are we going to do?" It was tempting to go nowhere on the island other than the condo. Just a short walk to the beach, tennis courts, pools, restaurant, close to a grocery store, and just a short drive to spectacular sites. This is a perfect place for a peaceful getaway for a couple, an individual, or even a family. less

Fabulous Place, Gorgeous View

Our family stayed 4 nights at HBR Condo 1557-58 and wished we could have stayed much, much longer. The owner Jim has put together a simple and cozy place, with thoughtful touches everywhere to make clients feel welcome and comfortable. A helpful guide book, beach... more amenities, assorted board games, fully equipped kitchen, excellent linens, the list goes on and on. The condo itself is well situated on the resort, not far from the reception area or pool, and has a breathtaking view of the mountains and rainforest. Great terrace from which to admire the view during morning coffee and evening cocktail. It's quiet and well insulated from outside noise...apart from the ubiquitous kauai rooster, that is. Great location, easy to get anywhere on the North Coast. Mahalo to Jim for sharing his wonderful place in paradise. less

HBR 1557

When we arrived at the Hanalei Bay Resort, we knew exactly where to go so proceeded to our condo. As we live on the south shore of Kauai, we came up weeks prior to our visit to do a preview. The double end unit was... more quiet and private, which worked out perfectly for us, since we had massages scheduled on the outside lanais. This condo worked out great for the three of us; my husband and I took the master and our niece slept on the murphy bed. We each had our own full bath which was so convenient. The one issue we did have, was the master bath fixture in the shower. It was very difficult to use and get the temperature right, without a lot of fiddling around. The kitchen was very well equipped and had all the cooking utensils we needed. It even had a spice rack, but we were a bit disappointed not to have any salt or pepper. The other complaint we had about the kitchen was the overhead light. It was so hot that we could not use it while we were in the kitchen. Perhaps replacing the bulb with a CFL would solve that problem. Overall, we loved the unit and would stay there again if the opportunity should arise. less

We stayed at this condo with our two young children. The condo is in a great location: close to the pool and restaurant, and it's very quiet and peaceful.

But the grounds, pool, and small kids sandy area of the pool are just gorgeous. It's nice to go to the Princeville Resort beach, just down the path.

Relaxing Time, Great Value, Spacious Feel Inside

This unit has a spacious feel inside because of the lay-out. I felt that the unit was a great value for the price when I compared it to other similar units. This place was actually even more reasonable than most units in Ocean City, Maryland... more near our home (way over priced any more). The view out the deck is quiet with a great garden and mountain view that adds to the private feel of this unit. The Hanalei Bay resort location is an excellent amenity. The only slight drawback was that we wished it was a little closer walk to the beach, but you can't have it all at this reasonable of a price (it is about a 10 minute walk down the step paved path to the beach). Overall, an excellent value for the price and amenities. less

Heaven on earth

Our stay was perfect. I could not think of one negative to write about. The rental itself was clean, cozy with all the comforts (and more) of home. I was a bit nervous renting "in the dark" and could not have been more pleased. The... more resort was beautiful, the ower was pleasant and accommodating. The unit itself was spacious, the beds comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony every morning and listening to the sounds of Kauai. I might also mention some friends of ours rented a unit in the same building and were very impressed with our accommadations. They even paid a much higher price than we did. THis IS the place to stay and hope that we will be able to return one day. less

Wonderful Kauai Condo

We stayed in this wonderful condo in last June. The condo was very clean, well equipped and a good location within the resort - close to the tennis courts, main pool and front desk area. It had a well stocked kitchen, and we cooked several... more nights. The owner thoughtfully provided many videos for the two TVs, beach equipment to use, and had written very thorough island guides for his guests. As we were traveling with our two teenage children, we really enjoyed having two rooms and two baths. The Hanalei Bay Resort was beautiful and very well maintained. We enjoyed the beach, tennis courts, and pool. We also enjoyed the view of waterfalls from our two balconies. This part of the island was not as crowded as the southern end, which was nice. We would definitely recommend Hanalei Bay Resort and this particular condo again, and look forward to coming again ourselves! less

The first time I visited Kauai, I stayed at the Hanalei Bay Resort and paid resort prices for the rooms. I stumbled upon... more Aloha Condos when planning my next visit and discovered a hidden gem. The rooms are much nicer and seem more like home than the normal hotel rooms. The prices are very affordable as well. I don't even think of staying in a different place when I plan a Hawaiian vacation. I always think about Aloha Condos first. I've stayed in several of the units in Kauai and have also stayed in one of their units on the Big Island. They are all very clean, very nice, and again, a home away from home. less

Great!

Hanalei Bay Resort is beautiful and we loved the condo. It was comfortable, very clean and air conditioned. Full kitchen and washer and dryer were also nice to have. It was a peaceful and quiet location to come back to after a full day on... more the beaches. The pool and grounds at HBR are very tropical and beautiful. Great Stay! Highly recommend! less

Kauai Paradise HBR

We spent a wonderful week at the Hanalei Bay Resort on the north shore of Kauai. The condo was more than we expected. The furnishings were beautiful and the condo was supplied with every detail a person could want. It was so nice to have... more two full bathrooms!!! Hanalei Bay Resort is one of the most beautiful places in Hawaii. It's a magical place and we will definitely be back. I highly recommend renting from Aloha Condos. less

A very special place

My family stayed in this property for 4 nights. I wish we could have stayed much longer. This is actually two adjoining units so you get two full baths, two large rooms (one like a standard size hotel bedroom and one which is all comfortable... more living area with a pull-down murphy bed)and two lanais. You also get a washer & dryer, full kitchen area and tons of extras. It's fully furnished with all the amenities one would need in the home. Plus there's a great collection of videos, games and books and CDs. There are also beach/pool toys and a cooler for use. The view of the falls is beautiful and peaceful. It's just a short path to the awesome pool. Very quiet and private. The unit is absolutely clean and very well kept. I'm an arachnophobe and I never saw one bug and believe me, I was looking! I really can't say enough about this place. I saw other "rental" units in the complex and this one simply outclasses them. We were forced to make some late schedule changes and the owner was very accommodating and couldn't have been more understanding. I'll be back! less

Superb Condo!

We found your beautiful condo after much searching on the web. Contact and arrangements were easily accomplished via email. Upon arrival, Jim had a great welcome beach bag (reusable) filled with goodies in his fully furnished, wi-fi condo. Jim had thought of everything from games... more to movies, pool toys to kitchenware and spices. We timeshare travel a lot and the fully stocked nature of this condo was the best we've seen by far! It was perfect for us as a couple with easy access to the rest of the island and breathtaking views of the mountains and waterfalls. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and have recommended Jim's condo to several friends since our visit. less

Great Value for Hanalei

The condo was very clean, well-furnished, and convenient as it was just steps away from the Bali Hai Restaurant that sports spectacular views. The view from the room faces the mountains which were replete with distant waterfalls. The owner Jim was very courteous and professional.... more Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will definitely consider returning. less
