Cheerful, Classic Hawaiian Retreat w/ Incredible Views & Updated Kitchen/Bath

Located on the seaside cliffs of Kauai’s beautiful North Shore, Ali'i Kai 4303 is a comfortable, 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, a homey and 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.

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.

If running around on vacation isn't quite your style, the Ali'i Kai complex amenities have everything you need for a chilled out staycation. You can relax with a drink by the pool, fire up the gas grill for an impromptu barbecue, or go for a stroll around the beautifully landscaped grounds. You'll find several Adirondack chairs scattered about for you to take a rest and enjoy the surroundings and mild tropical weather.

For those looking to explore the rest of the island, or with activities planned in Lihue or on the South Shore, be sure to budget your time accordingly. Drive time to the East Side (where the airport is) is roughly 55 minutes, and to the South Shore is 75 minutes.

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.

Alii Kai Unit 4303
We were delighted with this unit! We stayed one week. It was clean, smelled clean, the rooms , kitchens, bathrooms spotless, Toto Toilets a plus, and the spectacular ocean views were just stunning! The manager was responsive for each time we reached out to them. We had trouble with the opening the door but they answered right away and helped us figure it out. We would come back again for sure!!Thank you for a wonderful stay !

Fabulous!
Great location, we even say humpbacks from our lanai. This is a very well stocked condo, quiet location and beautiful well maintained grounds throughout the complex and overall neighborhood. The only possible negative is that many of the framed prints are faded and need to be replaced. It's closer to Princeville but only about 10" to Hanalei. Would definitely book it again.

Perfect location
Our condo was beautiful and perfect! We saw whales from the lanai and beautiful birds. Fell asleep to sounds of the ocean. Close to great restaurants and Annini beach. The North Shore is beautiful and relaxing. Can’t wait to come back to stay.

Could have been better!
The property had a great view, but the property manager was unresponsive. The cable box did not work, they sent maintenance who did not fix it, so he took the Roku box from bedroom--resulting in no tv in bedroom and only Roku streaming for the entire stay. Did not supply enough toilet paper. We were staying for 14 days. Expected to buy ourselves--never had to do that at any other Vrbo property. Kitchen had been remodeled, but the stove did not work well. Also, the stove & microwave control indicators had rubbed off so had to hunt to use both. Beds and living room furniture were uncomfortable and virtually no décor compared to other places that I have stayed.

This property was perfect for our needs. The view was outstanding and falling asleep to the sound of the ocean was wonderful. The condo had everything we needed and was nice and quiet. We appreciated the boogie boards to use. If we travel back to Kaua’i we will book here again.

A true vacation
This was an idyllic spot for our time on the North Shore of Kauai. We spent the days exploring and our evenings watching Hawaii-themed movies while listening to the rain and waves below. There is no A/C, as noted, so plan any hair drying with the excellent hair dryers accordingly!

Paradise in Kauai
If you are looking for a convenient location to Princeville and the North Shore with amazing ocean views from one side of the condo and amazing mountain views on the other, this is where you should stay. We had 4 adults (2 couples), the 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms worked out perfectly. The kitchen was large enough for us all to move in and out without getting in each other's way. And again, as mentioned - the views are to die for.

The best part about this property is the view of the ocean from the lanai. Unfortunately, the furnishings are pretty old and tired. But the property will meet your basic needs and give you a beautiful view.

Princeville paradise and convenient too
This was our first time in Princeville. This was an ideal location for our family. Great view and sound of the ocean. Close drive to Hanalei and North shore beaches. There are adventures right here in Princeville as well. Just a couple miles from Foodland and shave ice. Teens gave the pool a thumbs up.

Very worn and dated unit, unbeatable views!
This condo is waaay beyond needing an update. Everything is original to the unit or close to it. Very worn living room furniture, as are the kitchen countertops, cupboards, dishwasher, etc. Both bathrooms need a complete overhaul, as well. If you can get past all of that, the view and roar of the ocean are amazing!

The view from this property is really beautiful. Check in was really easy. The condo needs some updating and freshening up. . The washer and dryer were not working. The area that the condo is in is nice and felt very safe but it’s a little drive to everywhere. So many beautiful beaches close by!!

Priceless Views
My husband and I really enjoyed staying at this property. Being on the ocean with views from the living room and both bedrooms was amazing. The property itself could use a little updating, but was perfectly functional and comfortable. We had some minor communication issues with the property manager but, in the end, things were resolved in an acceptable time frame. The road to Hanalei was only open at certain times of day while we were there, due to clean up from a landslide, and that made the location less then ideal. If the road were open, it would be a great place to be though! Overall, we had a wonderful time and were pleased with the property.
