About this property

Hale Moli - on Makai Golf Course in Princeville

This exquisite, air-conditioned, three bedroom executive home sits on the exclusive Makai Golf Course and is less than a thousand feet from the majestic Pacific. Featuring an oversized, covered lanai with sweeping ocean and mountain views, this home was designed to combine both indoor and outdoor living space, giving it a truly authentic, tropical vibe. This home expertly captures the spirit of Kauai with all the modern amenities of a luxury resort. Surfboards, SUP, kayak and bikes included!

This single-story, wheelchair-friendly executive home appropriately named Hale Moli (house of the albatross) just finished a complete remodel in 2021 and not a single attention to detail was spared. Perched high on the cliffs of the picturesque sixth hole, the outer edges of the greens at Makai Golf Course are home to dozens of nesting albatross and the oversized lanai off the rear of this property is the perfect place to enjoy nature and beauty abound. Watch the sun dip straight into the Pacific from your cozy outdoor couches then cook up some fresh, local fish on the grill. You won’t want to leave the comfort of this outdoor living space.

Once inside, Hale Moli features a magnificent chef's kitchen and wetbar with a dual-fuel, six-burner range and electric oven, KitchenAid professional series appliances, separate wall/convection oven, and plenty of space to prepare a gourmet meal in the comfort of your own home. (Olive oil, salt, pepper, and basic spices provided) The separate wet bar is equipped with an ice refrigerator and all of the necessary accessories to enjoy tiki cocktails on the lanai.

Three spacious bedrooms each with their own bathroom makes this property perfect for traveling couples, extended families, or families with children. Each room is uniquely themed. All bedrooms have smart TVs, pillow top mattresses, and air-conditioning (a unique feature in Hawaiian homes!)

The Bali Hai bedroom has ocean views from a luxurious, California king-sized bed. This bedroom also features an independent workspace and en-suite bathroom with an oversized tub, walk-in rain shower, and dual vanity with plenty of space. The I'a bedroom features a queen size bed with en-suite bathroom and the Mala bedroom has a king bed with en-suite bathroom. Bulk soap amenities are also provided.

The main part of the home boasts two separate living spaces. The entertainment room can be partitioned off by a barn door and has a wrap around sofa perfect for lounging and watching a movie. There is a DVD player, cable, and even a Nintendo Mini that contains hundreds of vintage NES games - brush up on your Super Mario Brother skills on rainy days! Enjoy the cabinet of popular board games too.

The other living area has comfortable modern furniture and in addition to the work area in the Bali Hai bedroom, also features a second independent workspace for couples who are telecommuting. Hi-speed internet throughout the home - lightning fast download speeds and Zoom-meeting friendly.

And of course, the other best part of this home is the treasure trove of beach equipment waiting for you in the garage. Two soft top surfboards, a stand up paddle board, bikes, boogie boards, snorkel gear, beach chairs and even a two man kayak are available for your use making this home truly a basecamp to adventure.

Hale Moli is walking distance to a number of hidden trails, beaches, and reefs perfect for exploring the day away. Princeville resort community is also only a seven minute drive to world famous Hanalei Bay and only seven minutes from Anini beach.

Great House, Perfect Location, Extraordinary Views

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great house, location and views. As is presented in pictures. Did have an issue with the living room AC which was not working and coffeemaker. They did replace the coffee maker quickly, but no such luck with the AC. The owners did compensate us for the inconvenience. Very spacious and comfortable outdoor spaces. Located on one of the most iconic holes on the golf course.

Fantastic stay

Our family of four (two teenagers) really enjoyed Hale Moli - it was the perfect home base to explore Kauai. The property, located in a quiet neighborhood about five minutes from several restaurants and a grocery store, was very clean, incredibly comfortable and had every amenity we needed. We frequently relaxed on the lanai facing the golf course and ocean after a day of hiking/boogie boarding/exploring. We hope to return to Kauai and Hale Moli again. soon!

It is better than advertised. Our favorite spot was sitting on the beautiful patio watching the sun set. The beds were comfortable and the linens were very nice. The location is great - only a few minutes drive from beautiful Hanalei Bay. Any questions we had were immediately answered by the property managers. We can't wait to come back.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The beast place we have stayed in Kauai! 10 minutes from Hanalei Bay. Down the street from Queen's Bath trailhead. Short drive to the best snorkeling on Kauai, Tunnel's Beach. The place is well laid out. The kitchen was like cooking at home, well appointed with everything needed to cook. The view off the back porch of the golf course and ocean was a pleasure to wake up to!

Wonderful Kauai Home

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: We loved the location of this home, with a view of the mountains, sunset, and even the ocean. The neighborhood is peaceful and the neighbors are friendly. Best of all, the home is well-appointed, clean, and stocked with fabulous features and appliances. We never needed the AC because we just opened windows on both sides of the house or used the massive ceiling fans. The kitchen, dining area, and patio made it hard to leave for adventures. We could have easily stayed another week or two and look forward to another visit to Hale Moli.

Phenomenal

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: Where to start. In a word, perfect (for us) We're a family of 5 ranging from 17-54. This house was amazing. The owners seem to have thought of everything. I'm an architect, so I pay attention to the little things. I can honestly say that I would not have changed a single thing. The main space is set up for a family to hang together. The open plan they created invites the family to hang together, cook together, watch a movie together etc. The covered Lanai was fantastic in the mornings and evenings. It provided cover for the periodic North Shore showers. The hosts Ian and Melissa were so responsive and helpful with recommendations and any information we needed on the house. I could not recommend this place enough, not only for the location, but the obvious attention they've put into the quality and management of the house. We will be back for sure. Mahalo to folks who've made this place special.

Beautiful property - highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week here! The views were amazing (loved the sunsets) and the house was impeccable! It was a pleasure using the huge kitchen, and every bedroom having its own bathroom was very convenient. The owners of this property truly thought of everything in providing guests with a great stay. We loved having the convenience of the outdoor shower after a day at the beach and really appreciated the use of all the amenities. The host was very responsive to any questions we had. In general we couldn’t be more pleased with our stay and highly recommend this property!

Perfection!

This home is absolute perfection. Only to be out beaten by the view and location. This home will always be special to us as we got married out on the beautiful Makai Golf Course over looking the bay. It was hard to leave. We would love to return on our next adventure in Kauai! Thank you for everything!

Incredible

Every part of our experience in this home was absolutely amazing! The hosts Ian and Melissa were so friendly and attentive through our entire stay. The home is very well equipped with everything we could think of and then some. They have even put together a book full of local recommended sites and eats. The photos dont even begin to show the beauty of the sunsets and mountain views. This place is worth every penny, and we look forward to returning again in the future.

A Great Escape!

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: Beautiful, well laid out home in a gorgeous setting! Excellent communal spaces, nice features and finishes, and dreamy back porch!There are a few negatives to this house: - It is designed for natural ventilation throughout, so there are vent openings into each room that connect to mostly communal areas. Sound does travel, so groups wanting perfect quiet or extreme privacy should maybe reconsider.-The house is also on the far north side of the island. Getting back to the airport or activities on the south side can take a good chunk of time. If you have a short trip, or are looking to spend a lot of time at different parts of the island, there will a lot of time spent in the car. Drives ARE beautiful, but it can eat up a lot of your day. Other than that, though!This house was amazing. It was very clean and well appointed. We had everything we needed in linens, beach towels, toiletries and bikes! The washer and dryer got some good use. The kitchen is a dream! We prepped a five course meal with multiple cooks, and as had everything we needed! The views were fantastic off the back porch. We naturally spent most of our down time together enjoying the scenes of the waterfalls and watching the rain flow across the golf course. Sunsets to take your breath away! The water feature out back was a lovely touch of ambiance and the hot tub is lovely.Property management was extremely helpful and responsive. They helped us get a dinner reservation and promptly answered all of our questions. They also provided a very detailed and informative informational book about the house and the area. Honestly, I am sincerely recommending that you read the house book when you arrive. It answered so many questions and had great recommendations! Excellent hosts!There are several restaurants and spots to stop into in Princeville. We found these could get very crowded, so pack your patience and be prepared to wait. Breakfast at The Spot was grea

Perfection!

I'm a travel agent, a 10 year veteran host and home exchanger for several prominent platforms. I've stayed in many vacation rentals and travelled to Kauai with 4 discriminating girlfriends over the age of 50 and we could not think of anything that could have made our experience any better! Ian and Melissa are fantastic hosts!!! Their attention to detail, quick response, knowledge of Kauai and friendly nature helped make our stay perfection! The property is beautiful, in a great location with gorgeous views. We enjoyed the sunset each evening and sunrise yoga with Tulasi which were both on the 7th hole. We were also lucky enough to experience the lunar eclipse which we could view from our lanai. Truly Stunning! Queens Bath is a quick hike and there are other hidden beaches nearby. The bikes came in handy for scoping out all the area has to offer. Everything is brand new, fresh and clean. The beds are very comfortable, sheets/towels are good quality, A/C throughout, kitchen is stocked with lots of gadgets, brand new pots/pans/utensils, etc. The entire home is beyond well appointed with everything and anything you need. So many little touches throughout especially the separate ice machine which we loved! It came in handy for making making Mai Thais. Haha! We had a fabulous time and would definitely come to stay again thanks to Ian and Melissa!
