Welcome to Hale `Ikena Kai ("home of mystical ocean") at Pali Ke Kua, a unique home vacation experience on Kauai’s stunning North Shore!

This intimate one-bedroom condo at Pali Ke Kua is perched high on the Princeville ocean bluff and offers jaw-dropping 180-degree views of the Pacific, Hanalei Bay and waterfall-laced mountains that will literally take your breath away. It's the ideal place to relax and unwind but also centrally located to many nearby activities. The condo is fully furnished and adorned with everything you could possibly need for a carefree vacation.

Ikena Kai has unobstructed, expansive ocean views from just about every room and the lanai, and is one of the most beautiful vacation home rentals on the tropically-lush park-like Pali Ke Kua property.

As a ground-floor end unit, this condo has travertine-style porcelain tiles in the living area, Bose SoundTouch WiFi music system, 65" Samsung Smart TV in the living room, Quartz countertops, GE and Samsung stainless steel appliances, new Sealy Posturpedic Plus Cal-King mattress, premium sheets and linens, a new washer + dryer and laundry products for our guests' use. A/C units are available in both the bedroom and the main living area to keep you comfortable when Hawaii's trade winds take a break. Ceiling and floor fans in each room help keep the A/C or trade winds circulate throughout the condo, giving you ease of comfort on those warm tropical days.

With the ocean bluff a mere 20 feet from our lanai, you have front row seats to watch the waves and sea life, smell the flora of Paradise and listen to the surf while sipping coffee, enjoying wine and nibbles while the sun sets or kicking back in our brand new lounge chairs.

A beautiful private swimming pool and hot tub for guests of Pali Ke Kua is a stone throw's away - as well as a paved path on the property, winding down to the ocean and an intimate beach, perfect for snorkeling and swimming. A large private parking lot provides plenty of free parking near the condo as well. And Hideaways Pizza Pub, a full-scale restaurant is on the property for easy dine-in or take-out dinners.

Start your day with a breakfast of fresh fruits grown by local farmers. Then, stroll through our lush tropical vegetation as you use our private paved path to visit the magnificent golden-sand swimming-snorkeling-surfing Hideaways Beach with sparkling blue and emerald water. Fall asleep to the sound of the surf or watch the (seasonal) whales, turtles and dolphins swim just outside your lanai. As the day ends, take a moment to admire nightly gorgeous sunsets from that precious 180-degree view. Then, enjoy dining at Hideaways Pizza Pub , Pali Ke Kua's onsite restaurant or at one of a few nearby restaurants at the recently-opened 1-Hotel Hanalei. If staying in sounds better, cook your own meal in our well-appointed kitchen. Throughout your stay, you will find everything you need at the Princeville Shopping Center, less than 2 miles up the road or take a stroll up a paved walking path to the center. When you feel like exploring, take a short drive to one of the many exquisite beaches along Kauai’s North Shore - Ke'e and Tunnels are just a few favorites north of Princeville. 7 minutes down the hill, just north of Princeville is the iconic beach town of Hanalei, or 10 minutes the opposite direction - enjoy shopping and dining in Kilauea town after swimming with the Honu (sea turtles) at Anini Beach (between Princeville and Kilauea).

Guests of Pali Ke Kua will enjoy a spacious private parking lot nearby the unit.
