We had a great time! View is spectacular. The condo is perfectly appointed with and everything you could need. I was a bit surprised by how small the kitchen and living areas were for how many the unit sleeps. But it was still comfy for our party of 8.

Our family, including 6 adults and 2 kids had the time of our lives. This was an amazing home with a stunning view. Everything you need for the beach available including snorkeling gear, boogie boards, chairs a beach umbrella. So impressed by the hospitality of the host and the on-sight management.

This was a great property with a great view. Condo was clean and roomy. The Cliffs has great amenities, the kids really enjoyed the pool. There is a closet full of beach stuff, we used the chairs every day. Only thing missing was an umbrella. No a/c but with patio doors open and ceiling fans was very comfortable. Only recommendation maybe a ceiling fan on the patio. Would recommend, great condo.

The accommodations were ideal for our family size. The location is perfect for north island, beaches, and activities. A bit of a distance from the airport or Poitou or Waimea.

The location and the rooms were perfect my family. We have 3 teenage girls and they had the downstairs quarters to themselves, and my wife and I had the upstairs master. We thought it was going to be too hot upstairs but the ocean breeze was always moving through the front and back of the house. We were never hot. Loved the location of being right around the corner from all the North Shore beaches! Loved it!!!

Everything was perfect from sunrise to sunset. When we weren't exploring beautiful beaches, we were enjoying the lanai. The layout of the condo was perfect for our family. Thank you

Went with our parents and our 16 month old. House was great. Very well supplied with everything you could think of. There was even a crib and a high chair for the baby. Great sunrises and sunsets. Hosts where great. Would highly recommend.

This was one of the best properties we've stayed at via VBRO. The view of the ocean was amazing, the location was close to all the North Shore places we visited and the condo was spacious. The hosts went above and beyond with adding thoughtful amenities one might need including a closet of beach gear!

We loved sitting on the lanai every night for dinner. The house was great for our family and had everything we needed! Definitely will stay here again

I can't say enough about how wonderful it was! We had plenty of space for me/husband, kids (8 & 12) and my parents. Everyone slept very comfortably. The view from the condo is incredible! We loved the pool. The condo has tons of beach and pool toys, beach chairs, boogie boards, etc which we made use of. Everyone at the reception was super friendly and helpful. The location was perfect, everything we wanted to do was an easy drive. Albert was INCREDIBLE...I emailed him numerous times with questions about things to do, logistics, etc and he was so kind and helpful and provided so much information. Thank you so much for such a wonderful vacation!!! I highly recommend this property and host!!!

Just beautiful & relaxing. One of the most gorgeous views from a condo on the island. Very clean. Quiet & comfortable atmosphere. Pools & hot tubs were great. Everything you would need for the beach is there. Heavenly.

We had an amazing time in this lovely condo. It had the perfect amount of space for all 3 couples. We ate every meal on the deck and enjoyed the morning views of whales and the various birds. Only downside is most of the activities are in the south side 45 mins to a hour drive. But if you just plan on hitting the beaches and relaxing this place is definitely it. Enjoy!

It was our first trip to Kauai, and Princeville may be on the other side of the island after arriving in Lihue, but well worth the drive (which is slow yet scenic). Although The Cliffs may be only one of various resorts to select from, the property is well-positioned on the island. Albert and Anita's condo, specifically, in building 8 short-facing the ocean is no doubt one of the best! Their home is clean, well-decorated and inviting. In addition to a fully stocked kitchen, Albert and Anita also provide umbrellas and beach supplies so you don't need to bring or purchase your own. The Cliffs resort also includes a pool, gym, and sporting amenities if (which only our adult children partook) if you're not interested in only relaxing. I wished we had more time to spend at the resort and condo as we were generally out on excursions until the evening. Perhaps next time. The Patels

Thank you for allowing us to share your special place in Kauai. This unit is amazing. Very well stocked. Very well appointed. The beds and pillows were the most comfortable we have ever had! Everything we needed was there. Was just a great pleasure being there. Thank you so much.

The property was wonderful 4 bedrooms the twin bed room had trundle beds under which was great for our family. The baby high chair. And bed were a blessing for small children. The view were amazing. The kitchen is fully stocked. Plenty of beach toys. Albert was wonderderful to work with on our booking. As covid hit. Our daughter had another baby. We had to delay our trip but our only regret is we didn't get to stay longer. A week isn't enough time to see the beautiful island.

We have stayed in lots of condos on Kauai, but this one is by far our favorite! Beautiful decor, clean, gorgeous view, a kitchen with top end appliances-including an expresso machine. The owner, Albert, is a joy to work with!

We loved this rental! The view was incredible, and the pool was beautiful, as well as the cliffs grounds. We loved the proximity to Hanalei, there were a ton of great beach toys/chairs/umbrella to use! We loved it!

We loved the house and the ocean views! We also enjoyed the food trucks that came to the resort. It was also wonderful to have all of the beach accessories to use. And when there was a broken beach umbrella, we were given a brand new one the same day!

We had plenty of space for three adults and two teenagers. This condo is very well equipped and we enjoyed cooking many meals together. We especially liked the coffee machine, electric griddle, & Vitamix. We used the beach items, wagon, and coolers almost every day. We have stayed at The Cliffs multiple times and very much enjoyed this condo. The owners were quick to respond to any concerns or questions. The view is the best we’ve experienced at The Cliffs. Sunset on the chairs or balcony can’t be beat. Thanks for a great stay Albert & Anita!

We loved Princeville and the view from the balcony at sunset was amazing! The whole complex shows up on the lawn in front of the property and enjoys this view! The beach gear was a big bonus for our family and Hanalei was a perfect island town to enjoy. Highly recommend this location and property. Albert was a excellent host and very responsive.

The unit was very well-located with a beautiful view. Unit was well-stocked with condiments/spices which was a nice surprise. We traveled with 4 young adults (20-28). My only suggestion would be for the third bedroom to have more comfortable beds ie mattresses. They would be fine for you g children but not so much for my 20 and 23 year old daughters.


Jeffrey V.

This condo was excellent, very clean and it had everything needed to have a great vacay. The grounds were astonishing and clean and the maintenance personnel were great. We ran out of propane at the bbq’s and they had the tanks swapped out in a jiff. Would highly recommend this condo to anyone looking for the perfect lodging on Kauai

This is an amazing condo. Best sunset views on the island. Fully stocked with everything that you will need. We’ll be back again.

The best thing about this property is the view. Being able to make breakfast for the kids and get ready for the day with the chance of seeing a whale jump is just the best. Coming home and playing on the lawn preceding sunset, then watching the sunset from the lanai is so very relaxing. This is not to say the condo isn’t great. It isn’t huge but we had enough space for 4 kids to do some homework while 4 adults read or made food. We never felt cramped, except for the kitchen. It is galley style so just something we got used to. The equipment and pans, as well as spices and such in the pantry and fridge left behind by others, made meals easy. On-site washing machine was very handy. The property towel exchange made clean towels a snap. The pool wasn’t huge but was big enough for play after a day of exploring north shore beaches. Check in was easy, and communication with the owners was quick and helpful. We’re hoping to come back to this property in the future. We had a great time!

My family travels a lot and this is one of the best rentals we’ve ever stayed. The view is amazing and we spent a lot of time at the lanai. It was stocked with almost everything we need. My husband especially loved the coffee machine. Today we just left this condo and move in another one in Poipu. But we already start to miss it. We will definitely stay again next time when we visit Kauai.

We were very pleased with this condo. It was just my friend and I so we felt very safe and we loved the views. We even saw whales right off of our front deck. Close to shopping and dining. A great experience!

This two-story property was clean and airy, well-appointed and located on a prime ocean front viewing area. It literally was like staying at a nature preserve. Nee Nee geese in large groups wandered freely around people. Huge albatross birds performed their mating rituals on the lawn two times for over three hours. Mourning Doves, Myna Birds and red headed cardinals came often to check on us on the lanai. And, the whales! Just sit quietly and in time you are guaranteed flipper waves and breaches. Numerous Adirondack chairs are available for those staying at The Cliffs without front row views. Inside the four-bedroom condo, no lack of attention has been noticed in providing for guests. Our family tries to get together every other year from Alaska and Washington State. We are grandparents, two grown sons with spouses and two grandsons, 5 and 11. I never heard "I'm bored" from anyone. And those who wanted to snooze the morning away did so without guilt. The amenities of The Cliffs are amazing and we never noticed overcrowding. Staying home relaxing took up most of our time but we did make beach trips for swimming and snorkeling. All were within easy beautiful drives along the coast. Several times we enjoyed amazing rainbows and for over four hours an unidentified spherical object high in the sky. Several military jets circled it and it finally disappeared as the sun set. Most agree it was a huge weather balloon. As far as contact with the owner, I couldn't have asked for more. I merely mentioned several problems that any property with multiple users would have due to misuse. Within on day the owner had a handyman on site who came and fixed what I had identified and fixed other things he noticed. Obviously, he knew the property well and showed us how to use things we weren't aware of. Would I recommend coming to this property? Without any reservations. I can't find the proper words to express our complete satisfaction for our two-week stay. And, I wouldn't hesitate to rent it again if the opportunity comes in the future. Each person in our family sincerely thanked my wife and I for providing them this vacation and hopefully they will remember it fondly after we are gone.

We stayed with our 3 kids and everyone had space and a bathroom! The 2 levels provided some privacy with both bedrooms downstairs having views and patio access! Upstairs the kitchen was fully stocked, we saved money by cooking meals instead of going out. Great views for whale watching, catching sunrises and good air flow throughout with the windows open! Pool and hot tub were amazing and the desk staff helped us locate a driver when in a bind! I would 100% stay here again, it was so easy with the owners and they provided valuable information via email for our stay! Definitely recommend!

The condo was perfect for our family(3 generations of us). We felt right at home and enjoyed the sunrise and sunset views on the Princeville Cliffs. The condo had everything we needed during our stay. The kids enjoyed making smoothies. Forgot to take a photo of the mural on the living room wall so I will have to go back.

We enjoyed every minute of staying at this property. It was wonderful. The beauty. The views. The amenities. The home was fully stocked. We even took advantage of the baby supplies that were offered. It was as simple as the directions that were given in their welcome packet. Absolutely would stay here again.

Our first time to Hawaii, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. My husband and I and two of our adult children came for 10 days of outdoor activities and loved being able to relax in comfort at the end of each day. The ocean view from the lanai was amazing and we spent every morning enjoying coffee with the sunrise and every evening having a beer as the sun set. Loved the cool breezes, so there is no need for AC. Appreciated all the beach gear and the owner’s helpful recommendations of restaurants and activities. This place is a gem!


Susan L.

Couldn't ask for a better view and the property had everything we needed for a day at the beach & pool...including pool floaties for the baby. Loved the espresso machine and drinking coffee on the lanai waking up to the ocean each morning. Such a wonderful time!

Everything was great and the location is wonderful. This place is 50 yards from the ocean with picturesque sunset views. The property is not air conditioned which may be difficult for some but my group isn’t high maintainece so the fans were sufficient. If the owners decided to increase their fee’s I’d look elsewhere but currently the price is right!

This is probably one of the best properties we have stayed at! You have pretty much everything you could need. Even essential oils and a diffuser! I was worried about no a/c, but with the trade winds it was great. They have a really nice pool as well. We really enjoyed the adults only hot tub in the back! Morning coffee, watching the sunrise was one of my favorite parts about this place. Albert was very responsive with any questions I had. We will be back! Thank you thank you!

We really enjoyed being in such a great location! The condo was great. We did have a few things that were a little bit of a nuisance. The screen doors always came off the track, some of the lights didn’t work in bedrooms, and there were several dirty dishes in the cupboards. Loved riding the bikes around and walking around Princeville. It was a great stay!

From the start we knew our stay would be amazing. From the first email with easy to follow instructions, food and beach and activity was perfect. Checkin was a breeze, no problem at all. The view was spectacular, sunsets unreal. Amenities were great. Everything you could think of if you looked was in the house. Kitchen had everything you needed.. lots of rooms and bathrooms, we had 5 of us but could have easily fit a couple more. The Wi-Fi was awesome!! Even worked with our tech heavy teens! Lucky we got out a lot and still unplugged. With windows and doors open and fans on even on the hottest July days there was a great breeze thru the house and easy to get a great night sleep. Overall fabulous! Highest recommendation from us!

If this property is available for your stay in Princeville - BOOK IT! You will not be disappointed! Albert was a most communicative host and offered many thoughtful suggestions for our stay. Our check in process was super easy and the agents were very friendly and happy to acquaint us with the property. The unit itself was very clean, comfortable, and nicely appointed. The view from the unit is BEYOND STUNNING! My family and I are fortunate and have travelled to many beautiful places, however, the view from this property is unparalleled. The property has many amenities as well: pool, hot tub, bicycles for rent, outdoor grills, and the market is only a mile or 2 away. You can walk to the Queen's Bath and Hideaways Beach - 2 MUST SEE places in Princeville. When we return to Kauai, this unit will be our first choice for accomodations.

Four of us girlfriends stayed at this property and it was a luxurious and lovely stay. When it rains, the view to the Cliffs gives a misty Scottish feel, but when the sun comes out, it's full tropical glory again. Nene geese were peeking in all the time, and they may get loud in the morning but we were not bothered and thought it was cute. The manager was super nice and helpful. Beach gear in the closet. No A/C but we didn't need it on the north side of the island.

My family+ - a group of 5 stayed here for 6 nights and our only regret was that we couldn’t have stayed longer. It’s the perfect location on the north shore and this condominium has everything in the way of comforts and amenities you could ask for (and probably a few more). It was our first time in Kaua’i and we all want to come back soon. When we can, this will be the first place I’ll check into for a home away from home. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

This condo was perfect for our family! Equipped with crib, high chair, and beach toys for the kids, great layout for our large family, can’t beat the view! The Cliffs property overall was wonderful (pool, amenities, activities), but this particular condo is in the single best building in the whole complex, 1 of only 2 buildings that are truly cliff-front with views of the ocean from your condo and you walk right out the sliding door onto a big grassy bluff for kids to run around and adults to relax in Adirondack chairs. The hosts were SO incredibly friendly and helped us quickly with our only little hiccup (couldn’t figure out how to work the fancy coffee maker!). I’m so grateful for both the hosts and the Cliffs staff. We had an amazing time. Great location, 3 mile drive to hanalei bay shops and beach, 11 miles to Kalalau trail along napali coast, and right around the corner from the walking trail down to the secluded anini beach which is super calm for kiddos. Loved everything!

We stayed here with four adults and one child. Super comfortable and plenty of space for all. Albert was super friendly and provided us with countless ideas of how to see all parts of the island (touristy and local activities). Definitely recommend. Kitchen had so many gadgets and accessories, the rooms were clean, the view was awesome, breeze provided a comfortable temp all day and night (November 2019).

This property is gorgeous and comfy. The views are stunning! The pool is refreshing and nearby and there are a lot of community activities available to you, including nightly food trucks in the neighborhood. There is a grocery store very nearby and you can hike to the bottom of the cliffs and see beautiful caves and sea turtles (not recommended for those who aren’t in good physical condition). There is no air conditioning but the house really cools off at night and is comfortable during the day with the fans on. We went during the hottest month of the year so I assume most other months, this wouldn’t even be noticed. The house was clean and stocked with necessities such as plenty of towels, coffee maker, beach chairs and toys, etc. we would love to return someday and we will definitely stay again at this location! Thank you for your hospitality!
