About this property
Hanalei Bay View Retreat - An Artistic home overlooking Hanalei Bay
Welcome to Hanalei Bay View Retreat, overlooking Hanalei. Nestled at the edge of Princeville/Hanalei and centrally located to stores and restaurants as well as all the North Shore’s best adventures. Adjacent to a forested greenbelt just beyond your windows, you’ll feel deeply connected to nature. Listen to sounds of the stream below or the songs of the birds throughout the day.
This rental has a unique modern and relaxing atmosphere. The building itself is one of a kind in architecture, unlike typical homes in the area. Inside features a local artist gallery showcasing more of Kauai’s beauty. This is a special location with beach access nearby, 15-minute walk down to the Hanalei Bay and many other beach access spots nearby.
Step into the spacious and colorful, light-filled upper level, where panoramic windows frame cascading waterfalls and the majestic mountains of Hanalei. The upper level includes the living room, fully stocked kitchen and outdoor covered Lanai. Slide open the doors to the lanai and let the ocean breeze fill the space and carry you into island time. Enjoy your morning coffee while checking the surf or catch an unforgettable sunset over Hanalei Bay with distant views of the iconic Makana mountain, all without stepping out the door.
Downstairs are two private bedrooms with their own bathrooms. Main living area and bedrooms are connected by a covered breezeway that wraps around a Zen-inspired courtyard. Thoughtfully designed and deeply serene, the home’s layout invites both reflection and artistic inspiration. Comfortably sleeps four with possibility of a fifth on a pull-out couch or lanai daybed. Whether you're here to unwind, explore, or be inspired—Bay View Retreat is your private escape and personal living gallery in paradise.
Please note: Bay View Retreat does not have air conditioning. With Kauai’s perfect climate, ample windows, and excellent passive ventilation, comfort comes naturally. TA-114-015-2320-01

Well stocked kitchen and comfortable bedding. Beautiful views from the patio and into the garden. Roosters start crowing early so be prepared to get up and enjoy the day!
Kat was there when we didn’t assistance with the house. Everything went so smoothly.. This is a special house in so many ways, and the location is perfect if you are looking for quiet and yet access to Hanalei and Anni beach..
Got it. Here's a more natural, human-sounding version in your tone—real, grounded, and honest, like you’re texting a friend:---**Title: Best place we’ve ever stayed—already planning our return**This house was *incredible*. The location couldn’t have been better—just outside the busy Princeville area and literally minutes to Hanalei. It felt super private and peaceful but still close to everything we wanted.I stayed here with my two teens and it was perfect for us. The property itself is really unique—definitely not your typical rental. It actually looks better than the photos, which is saying a lot. We spent so much time out on the balcony just staring out at the view. One of my favorite parts was getting a massage in the yoga room with the doors open and the breeze coming in. Total reset.It’s an easy walk to the beach, 1 Hotel, and Nourish Cafe (go there, trust me). The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and absolutely beautiful.There wasn’t a ton of extra stuff like a welcome basket or anything, but there was some beach gear and everything was clean and well taken care of. No issues at all while we were there.This place would be amazing for a small family, a couple, or a few friends. It’s seriously one of the best places we’ve ever stayed and I’d go back in a second.
My family, friends, and I were so impressed with this home. The flow and energy really created a space that cultivated such comfort and warmth that I'm bummed I only stayed 8 days. We were located close to a beach within walking distance (15 minutes), a couple of minutes to drive to Foodland and other things, and then 10 minutes to Hanalei. I can't wait to visit again and hopefully stay here. We all rate this place a 10 out of 10!!
This is a treasure! The house has an incredible view of Hanalei Bay from the lanai, and location is perfect. In a neighborhood in Princeville, but not in the condo heavy area. Great walk to a coffee/breakfast truck and short, easy hike to a quiet beach. 10 minute drive to Hanalei Bay. The house is nicely furnished with plenty of towels, beach towels, beach chairs and umbrellas, surf and boogie board, and plenty of kitchen supplies. Clean appliances and we loved having a washer and dryer for beach things. Communication with the owner was always timely and the location feels very private. My new favorite place to stay on the North Shore of Kauai!
