Alii Kai II

The Resort and Its Setting

Alii Kai II is an independent vacation ownership property in Princeville, on Kauai's North Shore. It isn't part of a major hotel brand — it runs as its own operation, with an owners' association handling day-to-day management rather than a corporate chain. The appeal is the location: Princeville sits above the coast on Kauai's quieter northern side, away from the busier resort strips elsewhere on the island, and visitors come here for the lush, unhurried pace and the dramatic coastal scenery the North Shore is known for.

The Area and Things to Do

Princeville puts you within a short drive of some of Hawaii's most recognisable natural sights. Hanalei Bay, the crescent-shaped beach famous for surfing and swimming, is about 5 miles away, and Anini Beach, with its calmer, reef-protected waters, is roughly 4 miles out — both good options for families or anyone wanting to swim rather than surf. Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge, around 7 miles from the resort, is worth the trip for its lighthouse and seabird colonies perched above the Pacific. For hikers, the Kalalau Trail along the Na Pali Coast, about 15 miles away, is the big draw, though it's a serious full-day (or multi-day) undertaking, not a casual stroll. Closer to home, Princeville Ranch at around 2 miles offers horseback riding and zipline tours if you want an outdoor activity without the long drive. Renting a car is genuinely the practical way to see any of this, since Kauai's roads are scenic but slow going.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own at Alii Kai II and want to sell or rent your week, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list the week yourself, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — owners pay a single, one-time listing fee to post, and that's it.

Because Alii Kai II is independently managed rather than branded, resales here typically go through the resort's own owners' association rather than a corporate resale desk. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, ask the association or on-site management for the current transfer fee and the current annual maintenance fee — these vary by resort and aren't published figures we can quote here, so get them in writing before you commit. It's also worth confirming in advance whether the association has a right of first refusal on resales, as some independent resorts do and some don't.

A resale buyer generally takes on the usage rights tied to the week and unit you're selling, along with the obligation to pay future annual fees — but they won't inherit any outstanding dues or special assessments you owe at the time of transfer, so settle those first. Because Alii Kai II is affiliated with Interval International, a buyer purchasing the week may also be able to enrol it for Interval exchange, but that's a separate step handled directly through Interval, not something that transfers automatically with the sale.

Practical Notes

Renters typically ask about unit size, view, and the specific week or season they'd be booking, so have those details ready when you list. Princeville is roughly 50–60 minutes from Lihue Airport (LIH), Kauai's main airport, which is useful information for both buyers and renters planning flights. Weather on the North Shore is wetter than the island's southern resorts, so set expectations accordingly if you're marketing the week for a specific time of year.
