# Moana Kai – 2 Bedroom Vacation Rental in Princeville, HI | Gather Vacations
High on the Princeville bluff, Kaua'i's North Shore drops away in green folds to a coastline of sea cliffs and open water, with the ridge the films named Bali Hai standing to the west. Moana Kai holds the top-floor corner at Alii Kai, the position guests ask for by name: unobstructed ocean from the living room, the lanai, and both bedrooms, green mountains the other way, and no footsteps overhead.
What You'll Love About Moana Kai
• Top-floor corner position, with unobstructed ocean from the living room, the lanai, and both bedrooms
• A lanai where the coastline stretches the length of the railing, with humpback whales often spotted offshore during the winter months
• Green mountains and the Bali Hai ridge filling the view the moment you turn from the water
• An open kitchen and living room that share the same horizon: granite breakfast bar, cherry cabinets, tile underfoot
• Sleeps 4 across two ocean-view ensuite bedrooms, a king and a queen, each with its own split A/C
• Alii Kai complex includes a community swimming pool & shared gas barbecue grill for guest use
Open to the Ocean
Inside, one long room holds the kitchen, dining, and living space, all of it turned toward the water. The kitchen keeps cherry cabinets and stainless appliances, with a granite breakfast bar where morning coffee happens facing the view. A round table gathers four for dinner, and the sofa looks straight through the sliders to the ocean beyond. Tile runs underfoot through the common space, cool on bare feet after a day at the beach.
The Lanai
The lanai is where Moana Kai earns its corner. White railings run its length, the coastline opening wide from one end to the other, surf and sea cliffs far below the green bluff. Winter mornings bring humpbacks surfacing offshore; most afternoons bring the kind of light that keeps people from going back inside. It is the place everyone ends up, whether there is a plan or not.
Sleeping Quarters
Both bedrooms face the ocean, so the water is the first thing you see in the morning and the last at night. Each has its own bath and its own split A/C, a private setup at either end.
• Primary bedroom: king bed, ensuite full bath, ocean view, ceiling fan, split A/C
• Guest bedroom: queen bed, ensuite full bath, ocean view, ceiling fan, split A/C
The two-ensuite layout suits couples traveling together or a group of four.
Nearby
Princeville stays green and unhurried, a short drive from the North Shore's best water. The Princeville Shopping Center sits under two miles out for groceries and errands, with casual meals at Hideaways Pizza Pub and oceanfront fine dining a little over a mile away. Hanalei town and the wide arc of Hanalei Bay are about ten minutes on; Anini Beach, calm behind its reef, lies ten minutes the other way. Botanical gardens, horseback riding, and ziplining fill the days on land. Lihue Airport (LIH) serves the island.
Good to Know
Moana Kai sits on the top floor, reached by an exterior staircase, so plan for stairs with luggage. Both bedrooms have their own split A/C, and ceiling fans run throughout. Alii Kai is a resort condominium community in Princeville.
• Hawaii's winter tropical climate naturally increases gnats, especially in lush areas. These light-attracted insects are uncontrollable but are a natural part of the environment.
Minimize Impact:
Keep doors and windows closed.
Ensure screens are secure (some gnats may still pass through). Thank you for understanding Hawaii's unique ecosystem.
• A mandatory mid-stay cleaning fee applies to reservations of 10 nights or more. For stays of 21 nights or longer, two mid-stay cleanings are required.
• Please note that this fee is separate from the departure cleaning fee collected at the time of booking. Our customer support team will coordinate the scheduling and apply the charges accordingly.

By late afternoon the light turns down the coast and the corner does its work: ocean on one side, mountains on the other, the whole North Shore laid out below. The lanai is ready when you are.
