Location was absolutely PERFECT! Loved having the view from the balcony and that Queens Bath was only a short 5 minute drive away. What I didn’t love was that the space was quite dirty. Sheets and towels were clean but the floors were messy, dishes in the cabinets were put away dirty, windows haven’t been cleaned in quite some time, and the primary shower had quite a bit of mold and hair. Secondly, there was some random miscommunication with VRBO and the host so she thought we hadn’t showed up due to the “tsunami.” She came in without any notice while we were not there. A heads up message on VRBO would have been nice. It made us feel a tad violated only because we had left things like cash, laptops, and passports laying out. Lastly, I fully knew that there was no AC….. what I didn’t realize is how hot and muggy it was going to be our entire stay. We had to have 6 fans running on high speed (super gunked up with dust) and both exterior doors open. A portable window unit would have made all the difference and hopefully (if the owner decides not to sell) they would consider having one installed for future guests.

Wonderful place with amazing views of the ocean! The host has thoughtfully filled the condo with everything you could need, a well stocked kitchen, laundry supplies, games, beach towels, beach toys and chairs, coolers, and beautiful decor throughout.

Definitely in August, air conditioning would have been great! (It didn’t occur to me that AC was an option? Keep in mind that in Kauai it is!) but other than that, it was a gorgeous place! Gorgeous pool! Well stocked with amenities! Super clean! Stunning views! And if you are physically able and brave enough to traverse the Turtle Cave Trail, it is worth it! But be very careful! I did have to visit a local Chiropractor after due to a nasty fall!

Absolutely incredible! The perfect home base for all of our adventures on Kauai's gorgeous north shore. The ocean views, cooling breezes, and comfy furniture made it great for relaxing in between expeditions. The host provided everything to make our stay super comfortable: the kitchen is beautifully remodeled and stocked, and there are beach chairs, coolers towels, and sand toys ready to go. The host is a wonderfully responsive communicator. Highly recommend. We hope to come back!

Quiet and serene location with an amazing view of the ocean. We could watch the sunrise every morning from the balcony. This relaxing stay was just what we were hoping for.

We stayed in condo in August. First off its in the best location, from the surrounding area to the view from the balcony. It is close to all the most amazing beaches we really enjoyed our stay. It has everything you need and was really clean.

Pics don't do the view justice. It was "hot and humid" the whole time we were here and the lack of AC wasn't a big deal at all. Place is dated, but who cares. A great jumping off spot for all the Kuai north side spots. Would stay here again in a heartbeat

This was a great place to stay! A well stocked kitchen, everything you need for the water (boogie boards, snorkels, flippers, cooler, chairs, and towels). And to top it off the views were amazing ! Great VRBO!

This condo is reasonably nice, though in need of some attention. The screen doors to the patio needed new screens and rollers and the master bathroom sInk drained a bit slowly. These things were minor but two others were not: 1. The unit is not air conditioned. We suffered for our mistake of booking it in August.2. Roosters are everywhete. They are territorial and NOISY. At all hours.One alpha enjoyed crowing throughout the night... at,say, 3,4,5,6 AM RIGHT UNDER OUR BEDROOM WINDOW. Difficult to enjoy a vacation on no sleep.For these reasons, I would not rent this unit again.

A family of our stayed here and it suited our needs well. Beds were comfortable, space was great. As other reviews stated, the pool in the picture is not the one for this condo, but the pool we used is bigger and more family friendly- not a big deal for us at all. We enjoyed the privacy of being the end unit. The rental does have a few beach chairs and umbrella but they are very tired with broken straps. We did not have internet while we were there and none of the batteries in the remote controls worked. Wifi would have been nice since our phone service was spotty, but we were warned about this ahead of time. Rental unit feels a little tired, but is well-kept and very clean. Would be open to staying here again.

Amazing ocean views, well-appointed, clean, comfortable, had everything I needed plus plus! Solo woman traveler and felt very safe! The area/location is beautiful. Great for walking exercise. Quick drive to the beaches, stores and restaurants. Plenty of parking. I’m a spoiled southerner used to central AC and even without it I slept bc of the breezes, fans and cool sheets. Lucy and Doug are fantastic hosts, accommodating and detail oriented. Love there’s beach chairs, umbrella, towels, washer/dryer. She has thought of everything. Literally everything you need in a home away from home. If I would’ve cooked I would’ve had all that I needed too but I ate all the HI food I could. Went to a wedding at 1 hotel hanalei and it’s super close. Can’t wait to return. Mahalo!

WOW, that best summarizes this beautiful condo. The veiws were unreal and compared to those on the images you see posted online of the Napali coast. The location was ideal. We woke up and hiked down to Turtle cove several times, it was our favorite snorkel spot. It was easy to get to all the beaches on the north shore. The condo is beautifully decorated and super clean. The beds were comfortable. My son slept on the pullout couch and it was very comfortable as well. All linens and towels were clean and like new. The hosts left us a speacial welcome package that was so thoughtful. The condo had all the beach gear a family could need. The kitchen was well stocked. This place is a gem and we cant wait to visit again. Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with us!

This property is in a great and the views from the bedrooms and lanai are just amazing! I was a little worried about not having A/C but the breeze off the ocean was very comfortable! We left our windows open at bedtime and it was so peaceful to hear the waves. The condo was perfect for our family of four and in the perfect location for all that we did while in Princeville/Hanalei. The host was very nice and I would definitely stay here again and recommend this condo to family and friends.

One very nice surprise about our stay: the big draw of this condo is of course the ocean views, and it was really lovely to have the wide ocean views in every room. BUT ALSO there is a window in the dining room with a great view of the mountains! I loved looking out that window. We enjoyed our stay here. I was worried about the lack of AC, but the condo has really good airflow with the open windows, and the master bed is right under a fan. We slept well, and even in the heat of the day were not uncomfortable thanks to the breezes. Checkin was smooth. We used the kitchen a fair amount and liked it. Appreciated the beach chairs and towels provided. Easy parking. Lots of closet and dresser space. Another surprise plus: being able to lay in bed and watch the sun rise!

This place was 5 stars all the way! I can’t stop raving about it to my friends. It was beautiful, clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our quick trip to the north shore of Kauai. The kitchen has everything you can ever want for cooking. The Primary room is spacious and the bathroom is gorgeous…even better than the pictures. Great communication and very accommodating hosts, we will be back for sure.

I booked a suite for four people and expected to be charged accordingly. However, I was surprised to see additional charges on my bill, including fees for the number of guests—which was already disclosed at the time of booking—as well as a resort fee, resort tax, and extra room charges. The total amount charged was significantly higher than I anticipated and quite unexpected.

Property was central to everything we wanted to see and do. Owner was quick to reply to any questions. Property was clean, with a great view of the mountains from the back patio. Pool was close and really clean. Shopping and restaurants just a few kilometres away. We prefer to eat in and it was lacking space for non-perishable, but we made it work. :-) Totally recommend!

Check in was very simple as I had the code before arriving. The issue I had was the navigation took me to the wrong building and the lighting outside was very poor and it was hard to see since we got in late. The kitchen was perfect for what we needed.

It was wonderful. The location of Alli Kai was great. Can walk to parks, shops, golf club and beaches. The complex is pretty and walkable also. The unit was perfect. It’s sized well for 2 bedrooms. The kitchen was very useable and easy to cook in. The patio is the show stopper with that view. Very clean and comfortable.

This place is beautiful. We had two adults and two kids and it was perfect. It has two king beds with separate bathrooms and another queen pull-out couch. There is no AC, but with the wind and the fans it is very comfortable sleeping. The only issue with sleeping is you better bring some earplugs because the roosters will get going at 4 am. One really great perk is you can walk from the condo to a trail down to Turtle Cave. The trail is steep and sketchy, but the reward is incredible snorkeling and the chance to see turtles chilling in this huge cave. Go early before the wind and on a low tide. Also, the condo had great beach chairs, masks, fins, corn hole,..pretty much anything you need for a fun day in Hanalei. Another nice perk was the pool with multiple bar-b-que grills for anyone to use. Princeville isn't some quant little town in the country, but with the Turtle Cave, the view, the proximity to Hanalei, hiking in Napali Coast, and access to groceries and restaurants, you can't go wrong renting here with a family or even a couple.

Two big pluses. It is larger than it appears in pictures. It is across the parking lot from Turtle Cove which is one of my favorite places on the planet. Wendy probably doesn’t emphasize that feature because you are taking your life into your own hands when you visit the cove.

Our extended family of 11 all came to stay on Kauai together so we booked 3 separate units within Alii Kai. We loved taking our coffee out to the grassy point each morning and watching the sunrise. Our unit was clean and comfortable and everything we needed was in place.
