We loved our stay at Emmalani Court. It’s a beautiful and homey condo, and close to everything up north!

This is a quiet area of the island and the condo is well kept and clean. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Ended up not staying at this property due to construction but stayed at another property through Hawaii Life Rental - Plantations at Princeville. Hawaii Life Rental was easy to work with and very accommodating. The property was excellent with perfect views of the golf course and mountains.

Hi. This is great location in Princeville with an ocean view. It could use some updating with the furniture as they slide around on the new hardwoods. Kitchen was clean but was in need of some new pans and Steak knives!

Stunning views are just the start with this booking. Well spaced for 2 small families. Fully supplied kitchen with all the items you would need to cook anything. Extra towels and toys. A.C. Was amazing during the hot days and the double back doors were great in the evenings to catch the breeze from the ocean. We absolutely loved this place. The memories are lifelong from this vacation location.

My family and I stayed at this vrbo in 2023 and absolutely had one of the most memorable experiences that we have ever had. Not only was it clean, spacious, safe, conveniently located adjacent to many ideal spots that are family friendly (Hanalei, Foodland, Anini Beacb, etc) , the communication was prompt and helpful. We decided to return this year, in 2025, and overall enjoyed the experience once again. There were, however, issues that we encountered this time around that are to be expected , but nonetheless troubling: cockroaches, some mature adults and some nymphs. About 12-14 in total mainly found around the sinks and a few in the bathrooms. We made sure to throw away any remnants of food daily. Thankfully, our property manager responded promptly and offered to either fumigate or deliver some basic pest traps to plave around the condo. Overall, we would recommend the condo despite the aforementioned issue. Most likely, it was an anomaly.

This was the first time my wife and I were able to take all of my kids (and one granddaughter) on a family vacation since my divorce 9 years ago. This stay in Princeville was EXACTLY what we needed. Minka, the owner, was prompt and communicative. Kristine, the property manager made a visit and made sure everything was great. I would definitely stay there again. It was worth every penny!Dan

This condo is gorgeous. Newly remodeled, the furniture is beautiful AND comfortable. We used the kitchen quite a bit and it is very well stocked. The location is perfect, in the heart of Princeville and with stunning walks just steps from the front door. The sunrise is exquisite each morning and the sunset is also just steps from the front door. Jeff was a very responsive host. Great vacation spot!

Selected this property for all it offered- views, large living spaces, quiet & good location. Minka and her assistant Kristine always answered any questions promptly. The condo lives like a home with so much space in common areas, absolutely equipped with any & all kitchen appliances, dishes etc. Greatly appreciated having everything we needed for our grandso. (17 months) - dishes, cups, booster chair, pack & play for sleeping. The outside storage closet is marvelously stocked with oodles of beach toys and plenty of chairs for the 6 of us, could not have asked for more when we opened that closet door! Having individual ACs in each room was gr

This condo was so comfortable and the location was perfect! We were able to walk to area attractions and the grounds and neighboring golf course were beautiful. The bed was super comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed, we also used the bbq area, which was so close. Parking was a breeze as well!The unit also had great views and we ate breakfast with the birds on the patio everyday. We definitely would stay here on our next trip to Kauai!! Should also mention that the beach chairs, umbrella and snorkel gear were much appreciated!!

Great Princeville condo. We enjoyed our stay at Emmalani court and I would return. This is an end unit on the 2nd floor of a 2-story walk up. As soon as we arrived I was amazed at how much space this condo has. During the day it got a nice breeze if we had the windows and screen door open. It was nice to have AC to sleep with. We have had some other condos where chickens woke us up but that really wasn't an issue here. Everyday we loved seeing nene goose walk about on the lawn in the morning sunshine. This unit is a pretty close walk to the pool. The pool and hot tub were adequate. The lounge area by the pool was nice. My kids only complaint was that they wished there more kids hanging by the pool to swim with. Overall a great place. It had a LARGE rolling cooler available. I would have preferred a smaller one we could carry with us. The kitchen was well stocked for our needs. I appreciated having a little cooking oil, S&P and sugar. The property manager's communication by email and phone was excellent and friendly. Mahalo

Two bedroom ground level condo with AC for the entire unit. Very nice location with distant ocean views on the golf course. The unit has been updated and renovated with nice furnishings. My only comment would be that the housekeeper could do a better job with cleaning and organizing the unit but this may not be an issue for many.

My husband, teenage daughter, and I were fortunate enough to spend a week in this lovely home in Princeville. The accommodations were perfect - so much room, beautiful, and they have EVERY. LITTLE. THING. you could think of needing... just buy your groceries and show up! The location was ideal, check in/out incredibly easy, and great communication with the host company. We especially appreciated all the gear they have available - snorkeling, boogie boards, beach chairs, nice beach towels, sunscreen, floaties, hats, and even provided laundry detergent which was so convenient for our family as we are a "get out and get dirty" kind of adventurers. Highly recommend sunsets on the golf course, seeing the albatross family, and walking over to 1 Hotel for more stunning views and a glass of wine at the end of the day. The price is right for this fantastic vacation rental - don't think twice about booking. We can't wait to come back (as everyone says in their guest book)! :)

We had a wonderful stay here. The views and interior are beautiful. Easy walk to Hotel 1 (for views, cafe, and beach), Hideaways, the pizza place next door (also called Hideaways), and to the pick up for the Haena shuttle. We stayed 6 nights and wish we could have stayed longer. April was a great time to be in Princeville--a couple of stormy days but mostly the perfect sun, clouds, and gentle rain mix. We never needed the A/C--just left the windows open at night for the breeze.

The location is great. Close to Hideaway Beach and Queen’s Bath. Unfortunately Queen’s Bath was closed. Definitely need to rent a vehicle to get around the island. The pool is very nice. The owner of the condo gave a lot of info on places to eat and beaches to visit. Owner was extremely attentive to any concerns.

This place is wonderful. Ocean view with whale watching from the balcony was a highlight. Air conditioning in both bedrooms but none in the main living area, but that's not a big deal in Hawaii. There is a coffee maker, toaster, toaster oven, water boiler, and Brita water filter. We always stay at this condo complex and it's always been a great experience. Highly recommended!

Loved this condo! The place was clean and had EVERYTHING you need to enjoy your stay. It provided adequate space for our family of six, which included my mother in law and three kids.The view from the back patio was relaxing and lovely. Perfect place to enjoy a cup or coffee and enjoy the sun and birds.Our Host provided great information about the rental and local area. They notified us of an issue with the blinds that resulted in them having to hang curtains. That was such an insignificant thing to us but they wanted to be sure we were aware of a difference in what to expect. We actually loved the curtains and how much light they blocked when trying to get just a few more winks of sleep.We did use the pool once during our stay and the kids really enjoyed it. The manager, Chris, came out to introduce himself and check on us. Very kind and helpful guy.Would definitely recommend this place and can’t sit to visit again!

The house is amazing, located on the cliffs in Princeville. The furnishings were beautiful, the kitchen was totally equipped. We enjoyed the walk in the backyard to watch the sun go down over Bali hai. And the birds on the golf course were very entertain especially the albatross dancing. The Foodland in Princeville has everything you need. It’s a 2 mile walk each way from the house. You can also walk to the beach, about a 2 mile round trip, but lots of stairs. Will definitely come again!

This place was so clean and had many amenities. Actually the nicest one weve used. You definitely need a rental car tho as no restaurants or beach access.

This property, this PROPERTY! It’s even more beautiful than the pictures portray and the spaces are very well appointed and lovely. The owner has gone to great lengths to create a relaxing and luxurious condo with views that will blow your mind every single day. On top of that there’s an albatross nesting area not far from the lanai and we fell in love with them so amazing! We will definitely be returning to Jeff’s home, and we did not want to leave! Our entire experience from beginning to end was perfection and Kauai is the most beautiful place my family has ever encountered! You’ll be beyond thrilled to stay in this beautiful property!

The condo is very true to the pictures. It sits on a golf course with a small distant view of the ocean and a lovely view of the gardens. The sun would rise in front of our deck and we enjoyed coffee in the AM there. It is well appointed and clean. The main bathroom has been well loved but was perfectly fine. The location was great. There is a bike path outside the complex that quickly takes you to a off road path that continues for approx 1.6 miles to the park and a little shopping area with a Foodland, Lapperts ice cream, cute shops and a few places to eat. If you turn right out of the complex and walk in that direction for about 1/2 mile there are a couple options to walk down to beaches. In the condo the 2 bedrooms have independent air conditioners which were nice and there are plenty of fans in the main living areas. The unit is also fully stocked with beach chairs, snorkle gear, coolers, boogie boards and kids beach toys. We would love to come back again and enjoy this lovely condo.

We spent a wonderful week at Mika’s place in Kauai. The condo is spacious, well-maintained, well-appointed and oh-so-comfortable. (I actually did an online search to see where she got her pillows that my head sank into every night!) The kitchen is very well equipped, I would have loved to make more use of it and do more cooking than we did. We loved seeing the nenes gather in front of the lanais and we especially loved seeing the albatrosses doing their mating dances on the other side of the lawn. Would definitely come for a return visit.

We love Princeville and have stayed there 4 of the last 5 years. This year our normal spot was booked, but we found this sweet gem right on the golf course and a few short steps from the bluffs overlooking the ocean. It was SO relaxing!! The space was fantastic and the beds were REALLY comfortable!! We ate nearly all our meals at home, because it was so pleasant and the kitchen so well supplied. We will definitely come back!!

Great location. Watched whales from the lanai, listened to the ocean nightly from the primary suite, walked to 1 Hanalei several times for cocktails on the beach and dips in the hot tub (they don’t ask if you’re staying there after 5pm). The pool at the condo was fine, the hot tub wasn’t working. The condo had everything you could want for a family.
