Please note that we are not reachable on all Friday nights sundown through Saturday night until sundown Pacific standard time. VRBO makes requests for bookings expire within 24 hours so it would be super helpful if you could please send requests for bookings or any questions a few hours before or after those times so I can respond to you quickly. Also, due to permit restrictions, our house is not available for rental for on-site retreats or for guest housing for off-site retreats. We are only available to groups of families and friends.

Our remodeled vacation home has amazing ocean, Bali Hai and golf course views but now boasts updated modern bathrooms with Hans Grohe rain showers and fixtures plus a free-standing tub in the master bathroom, state of the art kitchen with Caesarstone counters and Kitchen Aid appliances, all new windows and doors, 8 foot tall sliders leading to the rear lanai, a covered outdoor lanai for dining, wall to wall hardwood flooring, wood patio decking, midcentury modern furnishings and an enclosed covered garage. Each room including the lanai is equipped with Big Ass fans, considered the most efficient and quietest fans on the market.

*** Please bear in mind that the trade winds blow so we do not have any air conditioners in the house. If you really need air conditioners, this may not be the house for you but we enjoy the natural breezes.

Hanalei, on the island of Kauai, is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful places on earth. Its pristine beaches are surrounded by a stunning array of waterfalls and emerald-green cliffs.

Melia Kai is a private home with a sweeping view of the cobalt blue Pacific Ocean and the cascading waterfalls of Namolokama. Located on the Princeville Makai golf course, our house offers the visitor a wonderful opportunity to do just about everything---but it is also a terrific place to do absolutely nothing!

The spectacular views invite you to walk barefoot across the fairway to the edge of a 150-foot cliff (security may ask you to leave so please do not go across before 7 pm after the golfing day is over), where you look down on waves crashing onto the lava rock below. If you watch closely, you will see turtles swimming in the coves beneath you.

You will find that Melia Kai offers the best of two worlds - the luxurious amenities of the Princeville resort area (security patrol, community center, shopping mall and golfing) and the exotic remoteness of Kauai's north shore. One minute you can be sipping a Mai Tai in a crisp summer outfit at the sumptuous One Hanalei Hotel and the next you can be navigating a jungle trail in your bathing suit looking for the waterfall at the head of the Kalihiwai Valley.

Note: Although our home is all on one floor, please note that we have 3 steps leading up to the front door landing and there is a step down between the entryway/dining area down to the living room area. This home may not work for guests who require handicap access, guests who cannot easily go up and down the step down or guests with small children who may fall easily.

We keep at least 24 hours between guests currently in order to minimize spread of Covid.

Come stay the week at Melia Kai and experience paradise first hand!
