This was the perfect spot for our short stay in Kauai. The location was convenient for everything we wanted to do. The host was very helpful and we had everything we needed for our stay. I would definitely stay here again.

What an incredible place--it might be our new favorite on Kaua'i!! We stayed the last few days of trip in this gorgeous place and it exceeded our high expectations. The condo was clean and as pictured, the instructions/house rules clear, and the view breathtaking. We loved the one story building and the feel of privacy! This property is a stunner and we can't wait to go back.

We enjoyed our stay there. Very clean and comfortable for 4 people. Some days the chickens are crowing a lot but that’s part of the charm!!

First, the owner was a great communicator. Second, this place had it all. Both bedrooms had beautiful ocean views, the location is stellar, and the amenities around the condo are excellent. From beach chairs to snorkel gear, coolers, condiments, and umbrellas. We spent hours out on the lanai in the big lifeguard chairs watching both the sunrise and the sunset. My wife and I can’t wait to visit again. Thanks so much for a pleasant stay!

I can’t say enough good things about this property. It was so beautiful and clean, and the location/ view was absolutely stunning. Sherri was an EXCELLENT host and always replied to my messages in a kind and timely manner. The one thing I didn’t realize is that there’s only AC units in the bedrooms, not in the kitchen/ living room area. Thankfully, the weather was super nice so we were able to keep the windows and doors open for a nice breeze. Thank you Sherri for your beautiful place and hospitality.

Great location. Perfect for 2 couples or small family. The pocket door essentially turns the 2 twins into a guest suite with bathroom. Would stay again

The unit was so clean and set up so well. Loved the small fans, that kept us cool. Sitting out on the patio eating was amazing. I have nothing negative to say…this unit is perfect!

The condo was very nice and clean. Convenient location to beaches and Hanalei. The pool was just across the street. Check in was super easy, and the information provided before arrival was very helpful. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

This condo is part of the Ali’i Kai resort community which has amazing views of the ocean, and jungle. The pool and hot tub are kept up very well, and there are BBQ’s for making your own food. Our condo had everything we needed including amazing view of the sunset on the private Lanai.

The three of us, me, my spouse, and my 23 year old daughter stayed in this condo for roughly a week while on vacation in Kauai. Kauai was beautiful and our lodging allowed us to maximize the enjoyment of our stay. The place was the perfect size, it was cozy and home-y, every thing was very comfortable. At first we didn't know that there was no a/c, but we don't have any at home in Michigan either (which is common for older, non-updated houses) so we knew to open the windows to get fresh air. We got there very late at night, and we were exhaustedfrom travel, so we figured we'd figure out the a/c in the morning. Well, we finally realized the next day that there was no a/c, or HVAC of any kind, I was really surprised because the complex and neighborhood look to be built in the time frame that, in the Mid-West, would have had central air in every unit. Well, since we were seasoned no central air people, we were able to accept the lack of a/c as part of life. The breeze from the open windows and ceiling fans was more than sufficient to keep us cool when we were in the unit, even at night sleeping. Slept great! Probably better than if there was a/c.The host has guidebooks and other types of material on the coffee table and let me tell you, I took full advantage of the reading material. I actually lost my phone the second day we were there--not in the unit, but on a public beach. I never recovered it while we were there, so I READ BOOKS. A last word--the water pressure is AWESOME.

Our condo was situated within a very well-established, upscale resort community that was close to the ocean and also a 5-minute drive from Princeville, our source of food and other items.

Amazing place with amazing views. Pictures do not do justice. Its super clean, decorated perfectly, stocked with all essentials. You feel like your in your own private home. Relaxing and comfortable. You'll have constant visits from chickens, Nene's and abundance of birdlife and of course oceans views from every room. Plenty of parking, no stairs. Cannot say enough good things about this unit. Owner has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and she is very quick to respond to any questions you may have.

We had an amazing stay at this ocean-view property! The view was absolutely stunning, waking up to the sound of the waves and watching the sunset from the balcony was a highlight of our trip. The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and fully stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay, from kitchen essentials to beach gear. The beds were super comfortable, and the living space was cozy and inviting. You can really tell the owners put a lot of thought into making guests feel at home. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing retreat in Princeville, Kauai.

The “cottage” was amazing! Charming, beautiful comfortable and had all we needed. It was such a wonderful experience for our first time using a vacation rental! We said that if we make it back to Kauai, we would rent this again and would have no desire to even leave this beautiful property to go anywhere or do anything else on the island. When we arrived, the area had a power outage and once back on, we couldn’t get the tvs to work. We sent a text and Suzie and Andy reaponded within a few minutes. Andy resolved the situation virtually for us very quickly and in minutes they were up and running.The view is gorgeous, the lanai has ample furniture to relax on, and the view from both bedrooms and family/kitchen/dining area are stunning. Very nice place!!!!

Beautiful property, overlooking the ocean in a beautiful community. The check in process was easy, the property was clean and beds comfortable. My friends and I had a wonderful time and the host was accommodating to both an early check in and late check out, which was helpful. We had a great stay and would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Princeville/North Shore Kauai!

This property offers a beautiful full view of the ocean from the lanai and both of the bedrooms. Although the sunrise and sunset were just out of sight to the right and left, there was no better place to start and end your day. The quiet neighborhood and neighbors were a delight and made the experience that much better. Highly recommend this property.

We have been to Kauai many time and stayed at many many places. Your condo at Ali'i Kai was the perfect little getaway location for us. The development was very nice but not too crowded. The unit was close to the pool and had a lovely patio overlooking a lush ravine and a little ocean view. We had all of the beach toys and kitchen gadgets we could ever need. We will definitely return!!!

The views from this condo were stunning! Beds were comfortable. No AC but not a problem for us with the trade winds and high quality windows. There were beach chairs, a cooler and boogie boards which was a nice surprise! A few more bowls with lids for food storage and a larger skillet would have been nice but still well appointed kitchen.

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful Kauai condo! As someone with mold toxicity, I was nervous about traveling-but this place was clean, fresh, and safe for me. So grateful to enjoy paradise with my kids and hubby without getting sick. We loved Turtle Cave that is right below the condo. Definitely a bit harder of a hike with littles but if you’re up for an adventure it’s well worth it!! They also had every supply we needed-even beach toys, an umbrella, and chairs. Thank you for a peaceful and healing space!

My partner and I stayed here for 4 days and it was wonderful, we wish we could have stayed longer! The host Susan had great communication and provided us with everything we needed to know prior to our arrival and was available to answer any questions. The rental was spotless when we arrived and was perfect for my partner and I, and having a washer/dryer available was such a nice perk. It was so nice to get home from vacation with nothing but clean clothes! Susan even provides laundry soap, which most other rentals I have stayed in did not. Susan provides everything you could need for your beach vacation - beach towels, chairs, umbrella, cooler, sunscreen/bug spray, boogie boards, and two sets of snorkel gear. We used the provided bikes a few times and we enjoyed being able to go to some beautiful near by beaches without having to worry about finding parking for our car. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need to cook a meal, which we did every night. And the fridge is a nice size so we had plenty of room to store all of our food and drinks. Oh! And if you’re wanting to take the shuttle to Ha’ena State Park to do any of the hikes, the Princeville pick-up location is a quick 10 minute walk from the rental which was super convenient, especially with the 7:30am pickup time . If we’re ever back in the Princeville area, we would book again in a heartbeat! Thank you so much Susan!

My family had a fantastic stay here! The property was very clean, the beds were comfortable, and the views were outstanding. The location was great, just a short drive to Hanalei and close to the Princeville Center. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend to anyone else!

Beautifully decorated and well stocked with everything you need. And what a view!!! So nice to fall asleep listening to the waves. I was a little worried about not having AC but there was always a nice breeze so we didn't miss it. We stayed five nights and it wasn't long enough!! Didn't want to leave. Highlight of our trip was the doors off helicopter ride (Jack Harter Helicopters). It was a life changing experience!! It's a must do!!!

May 2025

This was a beautiful place to stay and was exactly as the pictures showed (unlike my condo in Poipu that lured me in with beautiful photos but was not the same unit). Falling asleep to crashing waves, waking up to watch the sunrise out of my bedroom window. It is absolutely gorgeous and has everything you need for meal preparation. Jacuzzi tub in master bathroom was heavenly! Reasonably close to Hanalei and only an hour to the airport. Suzy provided excellent instructions in her packet. Door sticks a little so don’t think you are locked out! No AC but the fans and breeze off the ocean made it very comfortable. Hope to rent her place again. Was really hard to leave!!

The picture of the condo is as pictured, overlooking the ocean. One the highlights was enjoying sunrise and sunsets from the patio, beautiful! We spent time all over the island, and found it easy to drive everywhere including Waimea Canyon on the eastern side. We especially enjoyed staying in Princeville due to the slightly cooler weather, as well as beautiful beaches and wonderful meals in close by Hanalei.

This condo had everything we needed for our vacation. Quiet area, good location, overlooking the ocean. Close to golf course, Hanalei, and close to many beaches. Great and comfortable place to stay, can’t wait to visit again!

May 2025

This condo looked exactly like the photos. It’s in the back of a large neighborhood with a golf course. Most restaurants are about a 15 minute drive away. The kitchen was well stocked. There is a trail right by the condo that leads to a cave full of sea turtles! I kid you not!

We had a great vacation and enjoyed our stay very much. The property is at the end of the building so there are people walking by to view the ocean. The place was comfortable but needs some updating. The vacuum didn’t work, found it was plugged, cleaned it and then it was fine. The views are awesome!!

We loved our stay at Holly’s Condo. The rooms were very large, very comfortable furniture as well as the beds. We loved sitting on the balcony and watching the waves in the ocean. The kitchen and laundry facilities were well stocked. The home is centrally located in the north shore area of the island. Close to many sites and excellent restaurants. Recommend this condo as it was very clean, close to shops, beaches and restaurants and very comfortable and welcoming.

This was the perfect property for us to stay at in Princeville, Kauai. We knew we would be spending limited time at the property due to all of the activities we had planned, so we didn't need to pay for all of the amenities at the pricey resorts. This property was perfect. Plenty of room, great location, clean and modern. We loved it.

We were incredibly impressed by this property. We have rented a few times in Kauai and this rental was by far the best. It was clean, well designed, well organized, comfortable, and the lanai and view were amazing! We will definitely rent here again!

Place was great and has beautiful views. Lanai was great for enjoying sunrise and breakfast. Watched geese, and Albatross fly from the lanai. If physically able the hike down to Turtle Cave was woeth it at low tide. Trail starts right next thr thr condo building and cave pretty much right below the condo. Steep hike but not very long hike make sure to go down during low tide.No AC was not a problem with ability to open windows and the constant sea breeze.Had an issue about half way thru the stay that the dryer half of the new stacked washer/dryer stopped working. Hosts came over first thing the morning to checkout and try to fix. They were unable to fix and had to call for warranty service. The hosts offered to take clothes and dry them for us but we used the drying rack in the unit to hang clothes thr remainder of trip. This was beyond anyones control.Kitchen well stocked, had condiments and spices alonf with adequate pans and dishes.Overall a good stay cute place for wife and I to take our oldest to Kauai for his Senior trip and would stay here again.
