North Shore Kauai Villa with Magnificent Views

Surf Song, in Princeville Kauai, is a luxury private licensed vacation rental home with four air conditioned bedrooms and four ensuite bathrooms. It is situated on a bluff overlooking the Pacific ocean on the iconic North Shore of Kauai. Enjoy ocean vistas from almost every room of this pristine, modern yet tranquil home while listening to the relaxing sound of waves breaking on the shore below. With a 10 minute walk to a secluded beach, yet within a pleasant walk or bike ride (plenty of bikes provided) of Princeville's full facilities, this is the perfect retreat. So many of the beautiful places and beaches that Kauai has to offer are close at hand, but you may just find that all you want to do is stay and enjoy!

Surf Song is centered on an expansive, vaulted great room which opens fully to the wide oceanside lanai. Adjacent on the ocean are an ultra modern, fully equipped chef's kitchen and an entertainment area with new, high-end electronics. Two oceanfront master suites offer ocean sights and sounds from both bedrooms and bathrooms. All four bedrooms are air-conditioned with silent, individually controlled systems. Each has a luxury, modern ensuite bathroom with pebble floors and Kohler/Grohe fixtures. Each has sliding doors opening to a lanai.

The home is equipped throughout with top of the line, genuine Tommy Bahama furniture. The atmosphere is one of casual, Plantation - style elegance. Lovely Sealodge beach ('A Real Gem' in the Kauai Revealed guidebook) is directly below the property and walkable in 5 or 10 minutes. (The path is steep in places and can be slippery when wet so runner type shoes are better than "slippahs"!). Full concierge services are available; Ocean or land activities, massage or private yoga on the oceanfront deck or private chef. Please ask the owner for more details. We would be delighted to help.

Once you arrive at Surf Song, at the very end of a peaceful, exclusive cul-de-sac, see the fabulous location and glimpse the ocean beyond, you will know that you chose wisely. On entering the home, you will be greeted by the expansive ocean view shared by almost all the rooms in the house, and the gentle sound of surf breaking on coral in the pristine bay below

Best Vacation Ever!!!
The house is amazing and the views are stunning from every room. The labeling of everything and instructions were very helpful, they supplied all the necessities and were very responsive with any questions/communication. We loved our welcome basket too! The location and neighborhood are great. We had albatross nesting right outside our door (the way they greet each other was so fun to watch/hear) and we saw a couple whales surface at a distance from the balcony. There is a shopping area within walking distance and the views along the way are stunning. It was truly heaven on earth!

The view makes it
We stayed at Surf Song for 1 week in July 2023. 7 adults and 3 kids age 14,11, and 6. Code we were given to enter front door didn’t work- we had to call and leave msg for property manager. They called back about 25 min later and gave us a new code. While we were waiting for the code one of us walked around to the back of the property and found the back slider was unlocked- upon further inspection it does not have a functioning lock so it remained unlocked during our stay. Door handle of door to outside shower was broken and we requested it be fixed. They sent a repair person on our second day. Well stocked with beach towels, toilet paper, kitchen utensils/appliances. We requested directions to beach from property management but they never responded despite multiple requests. We finally found online- Sea Lodge Beach via Sea Lodge condos trailhead. The view was unbelievable, and we spent much of our time outside. Bedroom ACs were a must for July, very nice to have. One washing machine is finicky but one of us had the magic touch to get it started each time.

It’s all about the View
Walk in and be prepared to be awestruck by the million dollar view. With just a hint of the neighbor to the left, it is essentially a private outdoor space. With the living room doors completely open it becomes a vast indoor outdoor environment. (You do need to use the screens for flying insects.) The master to the right has the better bathroom but the one to the left has the outside bath. The en suite bathrooms were great for each family. The kitchen met all needs and Foodland was conveniently nearby. A prior review talked about updating the furniture and this had apparently been done by our visit. However the hammock pictured was only the frame and we were advised there was no hammock. We were provided with a YouTube video on how to get to the bay below. Ask for it and watch it to determine if the hike is worth your effort. We did private massages on the deck which was a perfect location. Yoga is great out there too. The hot tub was large and relaxing day and night. We were here for a wedding and if everyone has a car, parking can get tight. There is no on street parking in the community. The living room gets a bit dark at night as there is no overhead lighting so evening activities gravitated to the large dining room table. We were happy with our choice of stay and its contribution to our wedding memories.

This is a beautiful home with an unbelievable view. The house has every amenity you want for a beach vacation. It is very well maintained and the outdoor space, including spa, large dining table, chairs and chaise lounges, are terrific. The best compliment I can offer is that we would definitely stay here again.

For this much money*
Pros. Spectacular views, spacious home for a family of 8…on the deck and inside as well. Great location, very comfortable furniture and bedding. Perfect for family dinners inside and out. Ample parking for multiple cars. Cons… realizing inflation and demand pushed up rental prices, this was an expensive trip for our family. So we expected a bit more. We cook a lot…. So we were impacted by issues that could be easily remedied: New dishwasher: It’s very fussy and dated. New washer dryers: same… and one set seemed inoperable. Ice maker: perhaps the last guest was a big user of ice… but the ice maker couldn’t make ice for several days. Sprinkler system: ran all the time for hours BBQ. Starter didn’t work…needed a flame, and the one provided was used up. Grill is so old, I had to take grills off to get the flame to catch. It’s on a timer as well… which makes sense for a rental .. To be sure, for a family who ate out frequently, these would not be big issues. Would we come back yes… But for this price it be proper to service this lovely home a bit more often.

Beautiful, Spacious Accommodations with Amazing Coastal Views
This beautiful home was perfect for our party of 8, our 3 adult children and their spouses. Although we enjoyed the vast majority of time together on the gorgeous patio, there was plenty of lovely indoor space to lounge in as well. A/C in the bedrooms was a nice touch although we seldom needed it. The ocean breezes (and sounds of pounding surf) are heavenly. The home is perfectly situated near Hanalei and the town of Princeville, so easy access to so much! All in all, a perfect vacation!

Absolutely beautiful!
What a beautiful location and house to spend time in! The beauty of the ocean, the sunrises and sunsets are amazing from this over the top wonderful home. You have to believe all the things people have written about this home and then think ,”self, add 100% more!” While staying here,don’t miss bathing under the stars or showering in the afternoon sun in the beautiful outdoor bathroom! Or, walking out of another master bedroom on to your lanai hammock to just lie there and watch the clouds pass by. From the endless supply of seasonings in the kitchen to the bicycles, water shoes, boogie boards and surf boards…this house just kept giving! Mahalo Surf Song!!!

The pictures don't do this property justice. The lanai is completely private with panoramic views of the ocean accompanied by the sound of waves crashing below. The rooms are well-equipped and comfortable. We cooked many meals here and found the cooking supplies suited our needs. I would come back in a heartbeat!

Great Ocean Front Home
The deck and view were amazing. House was well stocked- kitchen and bath basics, more than listing let on, which was helpful. 10 minute walk (ask the locals for the path) to beach right below the house. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Communication with management was a bit slow. I asked about a fan that wasn't working after two days of being in the house and they wrote back about check in time. Fan never got fixed and we were there 8 days. Bedrooms do have A/C, which was also nice and plenty of doors and windows to open. Overall, great place and would come back.

Fabulous family celebration in a beautiful house
Three generations gathered from all over to celebrate my husband’s 80th birthday. We loved the house and spent much of our time on the wonderful deck, where we also ate all our meals. We enjoyed nearby Sea Lodge beach (saw monk seals and turtles) and we saw whales from the deck every day. All in all a perfect, relaxing family vacation.

Beautiful Home
We booked this home in the middle of last year and couldn’t wait to get there. We did see a really bad negative review posted a few days before our arrival which had us a little nervous but it was far from the truth. The location was absolutely perfect and the house was great for our group. We had close family friends and us (4 adults and 4 kids) and the house was laid out perfectly for that set up. We didn’t get a chance to use the hot tub but everything in the house worked like it should. I only wish we would have booked a longer stay as none of us wanted to leave.

Views are worth every penny
We stayed here with two families. 4 adults and 6 kids. It worked fine for us. There’s not a ton of room for luggage, but we managed just fine. The views from the deck of this house were absolutely breathtaking. We also loved the seclusion that you feel at this home. We had a problem with the water heater and the property management fixed it quickly. We especially appreciated all the chairs, beach toys, body boards, and the toys from the garage. It made beach time that much better. We absolutely loved staying at this house and would definitely stay there again!

Not as good as it looks
We stayed at Surf Song for the week following NYE. We picked it because it appeared well appointed, maintained and suitable for a family. Sadly, there were significant shortcomings. Our first indication at the lack of care was in one of the north bathrooms, where the pump bottle of hand soap had been so significantly diluted with water that it ricocheted all over the bathroom. That is both unacceptably cheap (especially for a "luxury Kauai vacation rental", as advertised on the website), but foolhardy in these Pandemic times. The hot water supply to the two north end bathrooms was also very problematic. No one could have hot water for more than 4 minutes. It was impossible to fill the outdoor tub with hot water. When we called to report this issue, we were told it was due to solar heating on a rainy day. What we discovered was a timed cut off for the hot water, requiring a 10 minute wait for another 4 minutes of hot water. This is obviously not tenable for a 4-bedroom property advertised for 10 guests. Worse still, the on-demand water heater in the garage frequently faulted out, worsening the hot water issue. In the master bath, the mirror has fallen off its wire and is precariously perched on the vanity blocking full use of the bathroom taps. To accommodate this, the sink plugs were removed entirely, meaning we could not fully use the sinks and had to take care to ensure nothing went down the exposed drains. The hot tub (which is the banner picture on Surf Song's advertisement) was unusable both because of technical faults and the smelly debris filled water in it. This, along with the hot water issue was reported on our first full day. It was repaired 6 days later. As compensation, we were promised a partial refund, in writing, which we have yet to receive. The very worn fabric furnishings, particularly the ottomans in the great room, were grungy from so much use. A small cabinet in in one bedroom had a wedged door that, once opened, was unable to be closed and clearly not for the first time. Kitchen appliances were extremely worn or broken (the coffee grinder). All in all, it is clear to us there was a definite lack of care as to the maintenance of this property. It is a lovely, well located house. The management company, Princeville Vacation Rentals by Kauai Real Estate Group cuts too many corners for it to be worth your time and money. Makes me sad.
