Reviewer Comments:
Overall stay was excellent. Only issue was remodeling going on upstairs which was noisy. Not much sound proofing between floors. Even just walking upstairs is easily heard and can be problematic at night. Also plumbing issues in unit above leading to maintenance entry several times into our unit but that happens and is understandable.

This was a very clean, spacious and well appointed condo in the Princeville area. The kitchen is well equipped with utensils, pots, pans, knifes etc so it's very easy to prepare your own meals. The BBQ outside is close by as well. There was very little in the kitchen as far as spices - only a bottle of Italian seasoning - so bring your own if you plan to cook (which we had anticipated).
The building itself does not have great sound proofing between floors. We could hear sounds of children running and playing above us at times but it was not bad.
The bedrooms and bathrooms/showers were very nice and clean and there was ample supply of soaps etc, including for the laundry and dishwasher.
We had one minor issue which was taken care of very quickly and the owner was very nice to give us a late checkout on our last day which vas VERY much appreciated as we had a late night flight back home.
There is not much to do in the immediate area (except go for walks) as it is mostly condos. Assuming you will have a car, many sights and towns are in close driving distance. The Queens Bath is quite close by and worth the hike if you are able (it is a tough hike, especially when wet). Some nearby spots we liked were the towns of Hanalei, Kilauea and the Ka'ena State park (don't forget to pre-purchase a pass!), Anini Beach, and the Maniniholo dry cave. Hanalei has some restaurants that are open late (for Kauai).
Overall this is a great condo with an awesome ocean view and we fully recommend it and recommend staying on the North shore of Kaua'i for at least part of your stay on the island.

I am elated I chose this place for my getaway It was perfect in ways not imaginable It is away from the main fray ship I'd that's what you are looking for along with beautiful sunrises and a possible whale citing or two this is the spot! It was immaculately clean I truly was able to call Kauai paradise and I am sure it was because of my choice to stay in this Ocean condo KUDOS!

We stayed at this condo from August 11- August 16. The views from this place were incredible! Ocean everywhere! It was tastefully decorated, clean, and had all the amenities we needed for a great stay! Oceanfront Realty was fantastic to work with- Cindy and Jayme. We even had a slight issue with the toilet in one of the bathrooms, and Oceanfront had it fixed extremely quickly! They also have a great app that shows ocean conditions, places of interest, festivals, places to eat etc. The only downside to this place, and it’s not a fault of the unit itself, but this building doesn’t have the greatest sound proofing. We could hear every foot step from our upstairs neighbours. We would definitely stay again.

I have to give extra stars to any place that provides a well-maintained washer and dryer inside the unit!!! :-) This unit has a fairly unbeatable view of the ocean! (It is facing north, though, so you won't get a clear view of either the sunrise or the sunset.) It's a large unit, clean (although large houseflies kept finding their way inside somehow, despite the fact that we kept the windows and doors closed at all times!). It is very close to the local grocery store and post office (also important for me). It is a ground floor unit, so unfortunately, you can hear the people above you, but that is just apartment life living. If you stay here, I do recommend that you make sure to have some kind of agenda for your stay - places to go, things to do, etc. - because it's not really the kind of neighborhood where you would just wander and find something fun. It is a condo community, after all, and has that strange socially chilly gated community vibe. Other than the mysterious flies, I had no problems whatsoever with this unit. If you like Kauai and want to be on this side of the island, then this is perhaps a great place to stay.

The unit is exactly as pictured in the listing - the views from the bedroom windows are beautiful.

Was the listing description accurate regarding the location, layout, amenities, etc ? Yes Absolutely no surprises. I actually recognized the buildings from the pictures we had seen.
Was the property clean and well-maintained ? Yes
Did the owner provide good customer service ? Yes. All contact was made through Oceanfront Realty via email. They sent me a link to download their own app and it was very useful while we were there, both with suggestions and with up to the minute news information ... i.e. road closure for bike race and emergency siren testing
Would you recommend this property to your friends or relatives ? Yes
What activities, attractions and restaurants did you like or dislike near by ? We've visited North Kauai several times and really enjoy this part of the island. Snorkeling Tunnels and Ke'e and hiking the Napali coastline are always are always highlights We did Queen's Bath at 6:30am on a Friday morning and had it to ourselves!

View was amazing, not so much the condo. Old condo in need of someTLC. Furniture faded and soiled. Outdoor furniture rusted with cushions discolored and stuffing falling out. Kitchen cabinet doors dirty and worn. Bedding stained, mattress pad in small bedroom stained with what I assumed to be urine. Bathrooms colorless and boring. Surprised to find no beach chairs or beach equipment as we have always had them in prior rentals. Some repairs had been made, sloppily. Cords running across floors in front of sliding door seemed dangerous and should be tacked down. I am sure this property was once nice but that was some time ago. Will not stay here again and would not recommend.
Wifi was extremely slow, almost unusable. We turned it off .
Plenty of dishes and pots and pans. No measuring spoons. No basics such as salt and pepper , spices or cooking oil. Other basics such as laundry detergent missing or minimal.
We have traveled extensively , most recently Greece, Spain and Portugal always renting apartments or homes and this has been our only disappointment.

I stayed here with my wife and grown son over New Year's for a wedding at St Regis. We all absolutely loved it. Others in our party stayed at different places, but they all liked this one the best. And believe me, their places were awesome. The view, the experience of constant ocean sounds, the breeze, it was intoxicating. The beds were extremely comfortable and everything was very very clean. The decor was nice as per the photos and although not brand new, it was certainly not dated or worn by any stretch. This pacific atmosphere is beyond what we expected. As for an earlier comment by another guest, rest assured there was absolutely NO objectionable smell whatsoever. We left the place wide opened while there and it was as close to sleeping at sea on a yacht as I would want to get. The beaches nearby are awesome and the Troon golf course at Makai is two minutes away. You could pay a lot more and not beat this accommodation. You may find a fancier place for more money, but you will not find a better place for any amount. The longer you stay here the more you will like it and the more you will dread the day you have to leave. I have had to dream about coming back just to soften the blow. The entire area is a slice of heaven on earth and this place is center cut. Sincerely, to the owners and operators, thank you very much for making this available.
