This is a fantastic Penthouse property in Princeville! We stayed with our teenage children from Christmas through New Year's and the condo was exactly as described. The views from the condo can't be beat! The condo is on the 3rd floor, which is the top floor of the property, allowing for privacy, so no other unit is above you. It is a very quiet unit and very clean. The beds are extremely comfortable. The pool is about a 5 minute walk and also has a beautiful ocean view. The kitchen is equipped with all the dishes/supplies you could need for cooking. The bedrooms, dining room, and living room all have ceiling fans, making the unit very comfortable. Lori, the Property Manager was extremely responsive to any of our questions. We highly recommend this property!

The top-floor condo has lovely views, is centrally located to several North Shore beaches, and is well-maintained. The unit was VERY clean. It is stocked with essentials and has decent mattresses, sheets, towels, kitchen items, etc. The outdoor patio furniture was comfortable and the grill was new. There were not a lot of beach items besides a cooler and small beach towels. My only "complaint" is the state of the window screens - there were massive tears in almost all of them, so lots of bugs joined the party at night if the windows were open. Hopefully, that will be corrected soon.
A few things to note:
There are a few flights of stairs getting up to the unit, so if that’s an issue for you, a lower level may be a better choice.
The Wi-Fi is not ideal, especially when it storms/rains - but that’s Kauai. It may be important if you are trying to work while here, though, so it’s worth mentioning.
There is air conditioning (yay!) which is lovely in the afternoons because of top floor heat.
As of this stay/review, many of the other units are under remodel/construction - in case you are sensitive to that kind of noise (9-3 weekdays) - for example: the unit right by the pool was being worked on, so it was not exactly relaxing until the weekend -if you are out exploring/beaching all day, it won’t matter.
All that said - this is one of the better units I’ve rented in this complex. I would stay here again.

Very nice property and condition. AC worked great, furnishings were nice and view was fantastic!! Internet is a little spotty, but could easily have been the area and not the unit. Kitchen was well appointed with all the utensils and items needed. The condo does get a bit warm in the afternoons (like most do there with wall unit AC's and not central AC), but the extra fans they brought in helped. Both bathrooms need new hairdryers, but were supplied with shampoo/conditioner & soap, so that was a plus. Overall, the experience was very nice and enjoyable.

I'm always a bit anxious about how the reality of a reservation will play out...this condo exceeded my expectations. Location basically at the end of the road in Princeville but close to so much - with stunning view from the windows and Bali Hai sunset a few steps away, made our vacation. The new AC worked like a champ, and the size of the condo, well equipped kitchen + made this a great rental for our family - we had enough space to not make each other crazy, and making meals to enjoy on the lanai was a pleasure. Thank you!

Beautiful location! Two caveats--the living room furniture was beautiful but extremely uncomfortable--not where you would want to relax after your day. The master bedroom faced the ocean and only had sliding doors--no privacy. If those things are important to you keep looking.

while the view from the condo was awesome I won’t be providing a positive review of our stay for the following reasons:
- the condo was dated and well worn
- the ac did not work
- we were unable to sleep with doors and windows open because the screen doors would not stay closed due to latch missing and the screens in the large windows were torn or not properly in place
- the first night we did not realize the screen doors wouldn’t stay closed and they opened during the night allowing bugs in and my wife and I both had numerous mosquito bites in the morning

Very nice condo. Stunning views, spacious, and updated. Due to a storm, there wasn’t any A/C. This made it uncomfortable at night & when getting ready for the evening. The host, tried to get a company to come fix it, but they weren’t able to. We were compensated for the inconvenience. It was not the cleanest place around.

Good:Very nice view of the ocean.Balcony was great, as was porch furniture and gas grill.Beach equipment was great.Nice kitchen dishes,utenisls,pots/pans.Primary shower was great.Great location.Newly reupholstered couch and chairs were nice.Property mgt. was great.Needs improvement/replacement:Kitchen cabinets were dated and showed significant wear and tear.Unit was superficially clean, but needs a deep clean.Air conditioning was VERY drafty.No fans in the bathrooms.Pool was very uninviting - nobody (in the entire complex) used it the entire week we were there.Louver doors on primary bedroom were not appropriate if you have someone staying in the other bedroom like we had.Bathroom rugs were dirty and smelly.Many linens and towels had stains on them.

This was our first trip to Kauai. The Princeville area was beautiful and we loved spending time on the north side of the island, especially Hanalei. The condo was in a great spot with amazing views. The rest of the island is easily accessible with short day trips. Highly recommended.

Condo was as described online. The condo is very spacious and well appointed. We would defiantly stay here again. Just FYI this is in building 7, also there was no welcome coffee provided in the kitchen or coffee filters which was a little disappointing. The master bedroom bed was very comfortable. A added plus was the use of beach chairs, ice chest and other beach accessories. The Lori with the management company was very nice and attentive to any questions or request.

In our opinion, the only way to experience Kauai is by staying at the North Shore. The views and accommodations at Puu Poa were perfect. Great views and access to the beaches. The condo afforded us everything we needed from beach chairs to a perfect patio.

We have stayed at Pale Ke Kua before, so we love the location (Hideaways beach is our favorite snorkel spot). But since we wanted A/C, we booked this unit at Pu'u Poa. More spacious than the PKK units, and definitely the right choice for August. Love having the lounging room on the deck and being able to see the stars at night. Only slight downside to this unit was that the view faces east, so you don't get those amazing Bali Hai sunsets from the deck. Otherwise no complaints. Princeville Vacations was easy to work with and the unit was comfortable and clean.

The condo is very nice and spacious, located in a nice development, with a lovely view of the ocean. The basic kitchen supplies are adequate but minimal. The bedrooms are nice, though the master bedroom has sliding doors which don't provide a sound barrier. The only real disappointment with the unit was the hot tub. The visitor's instruction manual says that the hot tub operates 5 minutes on/ 5 minutes off, which in and of itself wouldn't provide for much of a relaxing experience. But in actuality, after an initial 4 minute cycle, the tub goes on for 1 minute, then off for 15 minutes for the rest of the usage. On the first day of our weeklong stay I reported this to management and was told it would be raised with the owner. I never got any further response which was disappointing. Bottom line, it's a nice unit but if having a hot tub is important to you you'll be disappointed.

Overall it was a lovely experience.
The kitchen is well equipped. Extras we’re very helpful, beach chairs, cooler.
The outside grill was a plus on patio.
The pool was good.
The only thing that was difficult was there was no elevator and the unit was on 4 th floor. Being older that was difficult for getting bags up.
Very quiet. Surroundings needs upgrading a bit.

We enjoyed our stay at this Pu'u Poa condo. It was very clean and spacious. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. It was perhaps a tad over-priced for not having the Bali Hai view, but the NE view was nice as well and we did see whales out in the distance from the porch. all in all it was great.

This is a wonderful place- Conveniently located in beautiful Princeville, as soon as you open the front door you step into a gorgeous unit, With terrific views of the ocean from different parts of the condo, you are stepping into an experience you will never forget. The kitchen and the bedrooms are well equipped with every possible amenities you can think of. We had a wonderful stay, spending late nights gazing at the ocean. The condo is exactly as described and the neighborhood is safe, beautiful with gorgeous views of the sunset nearby. Parking is convenient. Communication with the host is wonderful. The condo is a class apart. Be prepared for an amazing experience!
