Located on the second floor of Building 1—the furthest ocean-side building in Emmalani Court—this home offers some of the best views in the community. Guests have exclusive access to the entire condo, including the private wrap-around lanais and all interior living spaces.



You’ll also have access to Emmalani Court’s community amenities within the complex, including the heated pool, hot tub, and BBQ grills.



The Neighborhood:

Perched on Kauai’s North Shore above Hanalei Bay, Princeville is known for its dramatic coastline, emerald mountain backdrops, and an easy, upscale pace that feels worlds away from the crowds. Days here naturally revolve around ocean time—beach hopping, snorkeling, sunset watching, and scenic drives—paired with great local dining and quick access to Hanalei’s shops, markets, and restaurants.



Emmalani Court sits in one of Princeville’s most beautiful pockets, set along the world-renowned Makai Golf Course with the Pacific just beyond. The community is quiet, low-density, and intentionally tucked into lush landscaping, which gives it a more private, residential feel than larger, busier resort-style complexes. It’s the kind of place where mornings are calm, evenings are quiet, and the setting does a lot of the work—green fairways, ocean air, and wide-open North Shore skies.



What makes Sunset Cove Hale especially special is how it pairs that peaceful Emmalani Court atmosphere with a true oceanfront vantage. You get the best of both worlds: a serene home base with on-site amenities (heated pool, hot tub, and BBQ grills) for easy downtime, plus a prime North Shore location for exploring beaches, trails, Princeville, and nearby Hanalei—then coming home to front-row sunset views from your wrap-around lanai.



Getting Around:

One of the best advantages of staying at Sunset Cove Hale is the location—many guests enjoy walking to nearby beaches and scenic paths in Princeville, then coming home to a quiet, oceanfront setting in Emmalani Court.



We recommend renting a vehicle for the best access to Kauai’s North Shore and beyond. While you’ll be close to Princeville and a short drive to Hanalei for dining, shopping, and local favorites, having a car makes it easy to explore beaches, trailheads, and day trips around the island. Drive times can vary depending on weather and traffic, so planning a little extra time is always a good idea.



Interaction with Guests:

Our team is here for you 24/7—whether you have a question, need help, or want recommendations for dining, beaches, activities, or logistics. Otherwise, we’ll give you plenty of space and privacy so you can settle in and truly enjoy your stay.
