It was a comfortable place for 3 of us to stay - the kitchen was well stocked with serving sets and appliances. Instructions were very clear for check in and check out.

We had the best time staying at this property on the north shore of Kauai! The location was awesome! We were right on the 15th hole of the Makai golf course and would walk on the cart path each morning for amazing sunrise views over the ocean! We could also walk to the Princeville market for groceries, breakfast, dinner, etc. The condo itself was perfect for the two of us. The newly remodeled shower was luxurious and the crosswinds we could get through the condo were heavenly! No AC was needed nor missed. The beach gear also came in clutch for our beach days. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to friends or family visiting this area!

Very nice condo. Clean and spacious for our family of three visiting Kauai. Very well located in a relaxing and quiet neighbourhood. Close to all that the North shore has to offer. Loved Tunnels Beach, Hanalei and Ke’e. Driving to other parts of island was easy. Condo has everything you need. Would highly recommend.

It ended up raining for most of the week while we were here, so we didn’t take advantage of the pool or golf course. I think during the warmer months, it might be too warm for us in the living area. The rooms have AC though, which was great! Most places in HI don’t have AC throughout, so it’s normal. This location was quiet and peaceful and safe. We loved hearing the wind through the trees scattered throughout the property. The place was clean. Ants are a real thing in Hi, so plan on keeping your food in the fridge or micro. There were plenty of dishes here, and the washing machine was a lifesaver. The host was very communicative and nice. Would recommend staying here again! You are about a 30 minute drive into Kapa’a, but only 10 minutes from Hanalei if you want something more village-feel. At the entrance of this property is a grocery mart and gas station and a restaurant, so you can get what you need easily.

We really enjoyed staying here. It was an adjustment at first not having air conditioning, but the trade winds provided great breezes when the windows were opened. The fans were a big help. Beautiful location!

We enjoyed our stay in Kamahana 23 very much. Clean, spacious, well-stocked with everything we needed. The Scrabble game came in handy when the rain came down. We loved to setting on the golf course with a view of the ocean and lighthouse.

My wife and I came here on our 10-year anniversary and it did not disappoint! The neighborhood was generally very quiet throughout the day and night, and filled with the chickens that roam the island. We enjoyed just sitting on the balcony and soaking in the beautiful views of the golf course and ocean. The house is perfectly furnished for a relaxing time, and the beach accessories made available by Pamela were incredibly helpful and appreciated! When the windows and glass doors were open, the breeze throughout the building felt great and cooled down very quickly. The general location of the home is perfect for going anywhere on the island and we were able to see much of what the island has to offer. Overall, it was a great stay and we would highly recommend it to any low maintenance couples out there!

The property is in a nice quiet neighborhood, and was very clean. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals, and we didn’t need to purchase or rent anything to enjoy all of the beaches. Quick 10-15 minute scenic drive to Hanalei.

We had a fantastic stay at Bill’s vacation home in Princeville. Communication was great. The check in and check out processes were seamless. It had all the amenities we were looking for and ended up being more spacious than we expected. The parking spot was convenient. We enjoyed the beach and snorkeling equipment as well as the small high-top table on the balcony for breakfasts and dinners outside. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

This place is good, and Lori was awesome. Very helpful, mostly quick to respond and proactively cooperative. The view is awesome too, with Pacific ocean looking at you from about a kilometer away or so and with golf course in your front when you sit on a comfy sofa is a pleasure. As regards Lori, I must say she was very nice. We were not able to watch on the smart TV they had, so next day, she got a new TV installed. That shows how good she was. We would certainly recommend and we would also come back here, if and when we decide to return. Thanks Lori for all the good work you to to help your customers. .

The location and views are beautiful. There is an incredible secluded beach a short hike away. The condo seemed clean at first but has a roach and ant problem. There were multiple huge roaches and we started noticing dead bugs everywhere. There were also ants all over the place. I reported it to the owner and they said to spray them. I didn’t come on this expensive trip to hunt and kill roaches.

If you are looking for island vibe accommodations for your trip to Kauai, this is it! We stayed 19 nights. The apartment was nice, clean, it has a very well stocked kitchen for cooking any type of meal, cooler bags for grocery shopping, beach chairs, umbrella and even a cooler for the beach. It also had the little things like, garbage bags, laundry detergent, hand soap, and tupperware containers. (These are the things that at any other VRBO, we have had to purchase after a couple days - use not even 1/4 of it and have to leave it behind!) Having the washer/dryer was a huge plus - allows for lighter packing. No A/C however, the hosts have 2 free standing fans. Ceiling fan in the Kitchen/living and bedroom areas, with the trade winds, it was very comfortable. The hosts Cheryll and Doug were amazing, answered any question we had about the area. We definitely would not hesitate to rebook if we were to return to Kauai.

Really lovely property! Very updated, super clean and had a cozy, private vibe that we really wanted for our vacation rental. Location was superb too. Ocean was within earshot and the trade winds at night and early AM were very cooling. The place had everything we needed, so super happy and would stay again!

The location of this condo was great, especially if you spend most of your time on the north shore. There was plenty of room in the condo, very spacious master bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen was fully stocked with coffee maker, rice cooker, plenty of pans and everything we needed. Great communication with the owners. We will be staying here again on our next visit🌈🌴

We really enjoyed staying at this beautiful condo in Princeville. The location was a short drive to Hanalei Bay and close to a local farmers market. It is definitely worth the price and has amazing views.

This place was a great home base for my wife and I as we explored the north shore of the island. The condo is cozy, but felt plenty big for a couple. The property is well-kept and pretty, but there's not much too it or the pool; fortunately, Princeville and the surrounding area provide plenty of reasons to go out and explore. (Pro-tip: go to Anini Beach, but go past the beach park, past the "road closed ahead" signs, until the road ends. You won't regret it.) As others have noted, the kitchenette is smaller than you might like, and it can a bit harder to prep food than you might think, but if you know that going into it, you can prepare for it. I would also note that this condo does get fairly toasty during the daytime, even with fans going. We were usually out during the day, so this didn't bother us much, but if you plan on staying inside a lot, take that into consideration. All-in-all, a great place to stay!

We stayed three nights. Very comfortable, quiet and peaceful. We wish we could have stayed longer. No access to the beach from the condo but plenty of beaches nearby. We would definitely stay again. One of the best VRBO we have been to.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This unit is in a great location and very quite. It is a little outdated and could use a refresh such as removing the popcorn ceiling and new kitchen cabinets.The master bedroom in this unit is very hot as there is not much airflow with the bushes right outside the patio.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It’s a bit of a drive from the airport but worth it. The view is beautiful, grocery store and some restaurants are close and easy to get to. The only thing I would say is that you need more fans. Having nothing but sliding doors means you can’t leave them open at night so it can get kind of stuffy at night.

This was a perfect spot for a couple. Essentially a little studio with everything you need-kitchenette, kitchen tools, nice bathroom setup plus a little lanai for enjoying breakfast and or in the evening. Trail down to the beach (labeled differently on google). Quiet except for the roosters! We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend!

Beatiful condo on the Makai Golf Course. Great location for day trips around Princeville area. A day at Hanalei Bay is a must. Be sure to go to Kilauea Market + Cafe for best Poke Bowl lunch. Neighbors were very friendly and gave us ideas for daytime adventures.

Easy check in. Central location where we could explore the entire island. Kitchen smaller than I typically like and a barbecue add on would make it a 10+.

We were surprised at how few restaurants there are for dinner in the area.

This is a great rental for your stay in Kauai. The property was very clean, well organized and filled with convenient items throughout like sunscreen, boogie boards, snorkel gear, and kitchen items. The curtains are see through and the walls are very thin so little to no privacy but we still enjoyed our stay regardless. Queens bath is a 30 min walk from the property. I’d recommend this property to friends in the future!
