Pali Ke Kua Reviews


This unit has fantastic views, it is nicely decorated and very clean. The only issues are that some of the window screens and the screen doors are worn out and have gaps in the seams which allowed smaller gnats, flies, and mosquitos access to unit. We woke up the first morning to find the bathroom and kitchen sinks sprinkled with small live and dead bugs. You can’t keep all of the windows closed because the only AC unit is a portable one that is in the downstairs bedroom. Incidentally, the vent of the AC unit also has gaps that allowed bugs in. Other than that we had a great stay. The facility/building is an older unit from the 70s/80s and in need of an upgrade. Nevertheless, this is a good choice if you are looking to stay in Princeville and don’t mind sharing your place with a few bugs.

Clean, well stocked, and well managed by Steve (he responded super quickly when I messaged him saying that I accidentally locked us out of the condo!) Beautiful views. The condo does not have central A/C but rather air conditioning units that sit on the floor in each room, which I thought was better because we really only needed to cool the room we were using. The master shower was spacious and had a detachable shower head. Was really nice to have a washer drier as well. Would definitely stay again!

The location is perfect to walk to the 1Hotell for amazing food, drinks and decor. The condo was very clean and super comfortable with everything you could possibly need. All the linens were high quality and the towels were soft and plentiful. Everything is brand new and the overall feeling is fresh, even the kitschy shower tiles.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We always go to Maui and stay at the same condo, which is the best on the island in my opinion. So I was nervous trying Kauai and not knowing what type of place we'd get. Turns out we struck gold on the first try. This is a great location and prices are reasonable. Two minor complaints: 1) beach access is relatively far away (our Maui location is literally on the beach, so hard to compete); and 2) it is TERRIBLY inconvenient to have us return the keys to the rental office as opposed to just leaving in the unit--when you're trying to rush out and catch a flight home, you're not wanting to run errands beforehand. Regardless, we'd return here.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I just returned from Kauai and stayed in unit #223 for 5 days. Overall, we would highly recommend staying here! The manager provided excellent communication and check-in/out was smooth and easy. The view from this unit is out of this world, beautiful! The grounds and pool are maintained and in excellent condition. We loved the location in Princeville. The only negatives would be that the carpet could stand to be cleaned and kitchen counter to be updated. I believe some of the screens need to be fixed as there was a small problem with really tiny gnat bugs near entry way. Unit is equipped very well with beach supplies and necessary utensils and food spices. We saw dolphins and occasional whale right from the balcony! The stars at night were the brightest we ever seen right out the window. Area around unit is also very quiet and peaceful. Thanks for reading.

Condo was awesome - watched whales, dolphins, birds, and surfers from the unbeatable balcony; snorkled with the turtles, explored the tide pools, and what are on the middle. beach. All without leaving home. A short drive took us to all the hiking, swimming, body surfing, and birding that our hearts could handle. It was a struggle to pack up and leave. Thank you so much for letting us stay - we’ll definitely be back.

Overall a very quiet and clean condo, comfortable for a small family, and killer views. Super well stocked kitchen made cooking a breeze. Location was a bit of a drive to the beaches but it was a great place to stay on the north shore. Only minor annoyance was the bedroom ac unit could get really loud at times. Would stay here again!

Our condo had the best view in the complex! It is well-stocked with everything you could possible need. Being able to take a path down to Hideaways to snorkel and swim is a definite plus to this property. This was our second stay at Pali Ke Kua, and we highly recommend it!

This is a fantastic unit, the view from the lanai is amazing. We were grateful that some beach gear was available for use. The pots and pans were in very poor condition making it really hard to use the kitchen easily. The knives were dull. The shower fixtures were old and are in need of care.

The property is absolutely incredible. The view from the back porch is gorgeous and we had two families of endangered nene goose walk past as they searched for food in the grass. The property itself is very clean and stocked wit everything we needed: snorkeling kits, boogie boards, beach towels and chairs, olive oil, spices, fast WiFi, etc. The grill is very nice and we used it to make dinner almost every night. The washer and dryer in the bathroom were much appreciated as well! I will definitely recommend this property to anyone who comes to the north shore of Kauai. The owners were very nice and responsive and the property is in a great location to see sunsets. There is a very nice walking path right outside the community that runs along the golf course and down to the beach that we used to get around a few times. 15/10 would recommend staying here!

Thank you for the hospitality. We really enjoyed the condo. We had a little snafu with the bathroom sink. The noise from the tenants above is something to take in to consideration but was manageable. The hike to the ocean on the path is fun and convenient. The views are spectacular, truly fabulous. Bring towels for the beach and Shampoo for the shower. The beach chairs were great. We really enjoyed our stay!

Enjoyed the beautiful scenery and the view of the ocean. The walk to the beach is not short and it’s a very steep hill that you must walk down. So very challenging with children or any extra beach toys, chairs, etc. we enjoyed the closeness to hanalie bay but it was disappointing to have to drive to the beach every day instead of being able to walk.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Words can't describe the view from this unit. From the moment that you walk into the unit and see the 180 degree view of the ocean, your pictures and words don't do it justice to your friends that you send these views back to. We were a little concerned about the unit not having AC, but the breeze and the ceiling fans made that no issue at all. And the discovery that we viewed from our lanai, of the "sleeping Indian chief" with it's headdress coming out of the ocean from the mountain range in front of us, as we watched the sunset every night, was awesome. This definitely will be an annual stay.

None of this was a big deal but suggesting things for the rental company to consider.

Layout is perfect for 2 couples as ensuite bedrooms are on separate floors. Room with 2 queens is on main floor with kitchen and living room and beds are very firm. King bed upstairs is ok. Unit was very clean and has everything we needed. The manager said they plan a renovation of the interior at the end of the year as it will definitely benefit from the modernization. Views of Hanalei Bay are fantastic and the condo’s community is beautifully landscaped and maintained.

Lovely stay! Definitely plan on coming back. The views of the island and ocean are amazing from the porch deck. They also had a lot of great amenities whether it was cookware, ice cooler, beach towels, umbrella or beach chairs. There were a few cabinets, closet doors that could use some TLC but it didn’t interfere with the trip, and they were very responsive about the items The place is in a great location, near the beach and a short drive to Hanalei.

The condo was perfect for our stay and exactly as listed. Very nicely updated, also very clean and extremely quiet and private. Loved having the ocean overlook and close proximity to beach walkway. Good proximity to a lot of what we wanted to do in Kauai. Even the longer drive to Kapaa and Poipu was manageable and easy! We also loved being so close to cute downtown Hanalei -- with great shops, beaches and restaurants! Make sure to stop at Tiki Iniki for a great Mai Tai and other cool cocktail options -- right around the corner from the condo. You will not be disappointed staying here!

The condo we stayed in as very clean kitchen was very well equipped. We had everything we needed. Having beach, chairs, beach towels and snorkel equipment was definitely a plus we used all of them.A couple things I’d recommend to make guess more comfortable:A portable air conditioner, many folks we met at the pool, said their unit had one at least in the bedroom. We would come home from a day at the beach or doing touristy things, the sun was beating through the windows. The living room was very hot you couldn’t sit out on the veranda at a minimum I’d recommend sunblocking thermal draperies The next recommendation I’d have is to have longer blinds in the windows, or even longer draperies. If you have the bottom windows open people walking by could see into the shower they could see into the bedroom there was a little privacy in those rooms.Would also be nice if there were bike racks around near the parking lots we ended up purchasing bikes and then selling them before we left and there was no really good place to keep them, most times we just kept them in the car, which was not very convenient.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pali Ke Kua 117 is a dump. The view is beautiful but the condo needs serious upgrading and at least paint the place and clean the stained carpet. I picked this unit because of the view and had no idea that I would be walking in to a unit that seems to be never taken care of. I wish the Oceanfront Realty would have suggested another condo since I have done business with them many years ago when they managed my townhouse in Princeville Kauai. I was told that the owners knew that they needed to upgrade the place but couldn't do it right now. So they were happy renting it to unsuspecting clients and Oceanfront Realty was OK with that. If you can't afford the upkeep then sell it.Can't imagine what kind of a swamp the owners live in.

The condo’s location is wonderful with gorgeous views of the Nāpali coastline. The condo had everything we needed. The condo looked more dated than the pictures online show. I’m sure the pictures were from years ago when everything was new. The air conditioning is only in the two bedrooms. They are portable air conditioners. So they are very loud. There isn’t a telescope like the pictures show either. Overall a decent place, but probably would choose something else next time we visit.

My husband and I stayed here for our 25th wedding anniversary and this condo did not disappoint! When we arrived it was 9:00pm so we had no idea how amazing the views would be. Waking up the next morning was like Christmas and watching the sunrise was such an amazing experience and it never got old! Aside from the views, the condo was well appointed with classic but simple decor and all the things you would need for an extended stay. The kitchen is fully stocked, the bed and sheets are super comfortable and there are plenty of coolers and beach equipment. The walk down to the beach was such a treat with amazing views all the way down. Our ONLY complaint is that it would get really warm at night. I woke up hot in the middle of the night almost every night. Windows that opened or an air condition unit in the bedroom would be so great. Even with this one downside, I would not hesitate to stay here again and do plan on coming back! It’s a gem!

We really enjoyed this beautiful apartment. The ocean view couldn’t have been better! The apartment was clean and had all kinds of amenities you would need. The kitchen was fully stocked with different serving ware, and a nice surprise was it had some coffee filters and some Saran Wrap and bag clips we could use too. There were some beach chairs and also an umbrella in the upstairs bathroom closet which were a lovely surprise. Wifi worked great, and the smart tvs allowed you to connect your streaming services as desired. Princeville itself is really only residential - but we still were happy to stay here even though we had to sometimes drive a distance to enjoy activities/food around Kauai. The night we arrived we were lucky to be able to grab a bite on-site at the pizza restaurant, as most other places on the island were already closed. The pizza hit the spot and they had nice salads too. The on-site pool was much better than expected from the pictures online - it was large and a lovely temperature (I’d venture to say low to mid 80’s). If I had to ding this property on anything it would be that when it does rain, the sound of the rain outside the main floor bedroom window is very loud, as it hits the large palm leaves below. And the coffee maker was very elementary - didn’t make a great cup. But that is me being very finicky - it was truly a great stay. It wasn’t inexpensive by any means, but the splurge was worth it. We loved it!

The condo was clean and had all of the supplies we needed during our stay. It was private and quiet throughout our entire 7-night stay. I would definitely stay here again the next time we are on the island. Highly recommend!

Very clean, well equipped condo that is centrally located to discover all that the north shore has to offer. It does have a few stairs to contend with and cooled by air vents. However, the vents work great and there are multiple fans. It is walking distance to 1Hotel for coffee and views. An easy 15 minute drive to Hanalei Bay. The condo itself is very quiet and peaceful. The layout is fantastic and patio felt private. We sat out there for hours watching different birds and geckos. Highly recommend this condo and operator. Mahalo.

The condo cools off a lot at night and with the fan we slept great! We arrived late at night so because it was so dark it wasn’t easy finding the condo. The listing needs to include the building number to go along with the condo number for future guests. Also, please note that the light switches for the kitchen/dining area are on the side of the kitchen cabinets and not on the wall like usual light switches and the lamps/light switches are connected. When we arrived it was so dark and had to use flashlights to locate the random light switches in the kitchen and to turn on the switches and the coordinating lamps. A little aggravating when you’ve been flying for 15 hours and can’t find any working lights . The cleaning crew came by twice before our checkout time of 10am (8am and 9:30am) which was a little annoying. Let guests check out before you send your cleaning crew. It made us feel unnecessarily rushed and uncomfortable. Overall great stay and would come again!

Check-in instructions were incomplete. Left off code for key lock requiring a call to management office. Very inconvenient after a long day of travel.

The property was fantastic. We loved it. Tiny little negative, there is a stain on the carpet of the lower bedroom and the 2 stools under the kitchen counter are so uncomfortable use. Again,, the condo is fantastic!

My wife and I just returned from a 10-day trip to Kauai to celebrate our wedding anniversary. This property was perfect for our stay! The condo is well kept and supplied with kitchen and beach accessories. The location was a prime driver in choosing Pali Ke Kua and this unit, and it definitely delivered! It was a great location for walking to Hideaway beach and access to Hanalei and North Shore activities. Would definitely stay here again! Mahalo!

Wonderful views, Well-appointed with all we needed for our stay. Wonderful winds blow through the home all day long. Listen to ocean waves day and night. It really is an exceptional home to spend a vacation on the N Shore.

The location is perfect. The pizza place on site is phenomenal. The company made for easy check-in. Was there with family (kids aged 10&12) and the area was family friendly and quiet. Concerns: there is an a/c unit in each bedroom, however please note they do not provide enough heat relief for the main part of the condo and it was quite stuffy. The fans provided were on full blast the whole time and the resulting noise was annoying. Roaches. Every night there were multiple roaches that appeared, definitely a bummer. It’s an older unit and the louvre windows could be replaced to prevent roaches (and geckos) from being frequent visitors. We would stay in this complex again, but would hope to find one with full a/c and less roaches. Again, the location is absolutely perfect… in our case, it made up for the cons.

Overall the property was in great condition. There were minor issues which you always find with any rental but work a rounds were easy to accomplish.

The location and view can't be beat and overall the condo was great. But we were disappointed to see that several issues mentioned in previous reviews were still not addressed. AC unit upstairs was missing. Screen doors still non-operational. Stinky washing machine. No hairdryer. Slightly dirty overall. But they were all so minor that we didn't waste precious vacation time calling and trying to get them fixed. Hopefully they be addressed prior to the next guests. Everything else about the place was great. Comfy beds, nice couch, decent amount of kitchen gear, and KILLER views. Only other item to mention for others inbound would be that this unit had the least amount of 'beach gear' than any other unit we've stayed in over the years. No snorkel gear, no boards (boogie or surf) and lame soccer style chairs instead of true lounging low back beach chairs (did have 2 umbrellas). Again minor issues that are easily overlooked as you soak in the views of the ocean and Hanalei Bay.

The view is what you come here for. Absolutely stunning. The lanai is a lovely place for morning coffee, sunset cocktails and listening to the surf at night. Condo is comfortable but it can get very hot, especially in bedroom upstairs. The afternoon sun heats the main room and the lack of screens on front door limits the amount of cross-breeze. I'm not an AC person but it was hot enough in October to need it. Good location in Princeville; near Hideaway beach for those up to the challenge of walking down to it; going for coffee or a drink at 1 Hotel down the street is a nice outing. Beach below resort is quite rocky and not very swimmable when we were there. Beach chairs and umbrella are in need of replacing. One of the 3 chairs was completely broken, as was the umbrella. Provisions on hand were meager (as in no or unusable salt, no sugar for morning coffee, etc.). Not expecting much but do expect the bare minimum. A quick trip to Costco is needed. Nice welcome basket on arrival with coffee, granola, etc. which was much appreciated. Vacasa is very good; easy to work with. We had problems with the lock and the person after hours was very patient with us on the phone telling us how to access the condo.

Everything was absolutely stunning!!! Check in was a breeze and the electronic welcome book was a huge help! It had information about farmers markets and more! They even had air conditioning which is uncommon for the islad! The kitchen was well stocked, the bed was comfortable, everything was clean. Service was amazing and very easy to contact. I cannot say enough good things!! We will definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First, thank you for checking to see if my necklace fell on the carpet. We found it in our luggage. We found the view spectacular however, the unit is very much in need of a complete overall. The main bedroom has no ventilation so could use an air condition split that doesn't blow on you. Bathrooms so in need of a complete update, I won't go into details. Could be a little cleaner. Again the whole unit needs to be gutted and updated. With that said, it's Kauai. We didn't focus on the condo but rather our surroundings and overall stay. Answer below are very hard to answer and might be inaccurate.

We had the best week of our lives in this beautiful haven. The location could not have been better and we absolutely loved everything about it. Perfect for our family! Thank you so much, Maule family! We hope to be invited back to visit again.

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: The condo was wonderful! It was well stocked with everything we needed from kitchen spices and appliances to towels for bath and beach! The air conditioning units helped when the temp got close to 90 degrees, but the cross breeze and ceiling fans usually did the trick to keep us comfortable. One recommendation would be to have snorkeling equipment for guests to use and also to check and maintain the beach chairs. One of them had some trash left in one of the pockets from a previous user. Not anything we couldn’t manage, but just a heads up. The washer and dryer were great! It was so nice to come home with all of our laundry clean! Can’t wait to return and would definitely request the same property and the same unit!! It’s important to keep in mind that there can be a lot of driving time if you have activities planned in different areas of the island. Also, road construction during the week adds to that time. We planned for all of that and it wasn’t a problem. Kaua’i is definitely our favorite of the Hawaiian islands!

This property is lovely, well appointed and well equipped. You could not ask for a more lovely view of the Pacific. You can walk to a few beaches while drives to some spectacular beaches west of Hanalei are relatively short. Proximity to wonderful restaurants and food stands. And the complex pool and spa were also very nice to enjoy at the end of the day. We left relaxed and refreshed!

We had a wonderful time. We really enjoyed the ocean view. We saw turtles from the dining nook and there were plenty of Nene's. It was walking distance to everything. We walked to Queens bath and to the big hotel for drinks and beach at the end of the road. We always enjoyed Kauai.
