This was a great place for our family of 5. Steve was very helpful with any questions we had and the place was well stocked with everything you would need. We were able to enjoy many of the nearby beaches and hiked Kalalau Trail. It was a bit of a jaunt to Poipu and the canyons but we really enjoyed staying this side of the island. Everything was perfect. Thank you!

The condo was extremely well furnished. It was a very comfortable unit which became the headquarters for my family who were staying in another condo nearby. The view was beautiful and the outdoor patio was my favorite place.

This place was not cleaned up well. It has dust mites in the bed and lot of bugs in the house. I had called and them know and they gave me a bottle of bug spray after 4 days. I had multiple bud bites along with my family. I would stay away from this place.

We owned a home in Princeville for 20 years and keep coming back to stay in different North Shore spots. This was one of the best and the view is outstanding. The condo was very clean and well-outfitted. We would rent there again, but likely choose a second floor, larger unit further out toward the water for a better view of Hanalei Bay.

Overall great location and clean. We had a nice stay, I love the location for the proximity to walk outside and see the ocean and North coast and waves rolling into Hanalei Bay. Ability to accommodate a family of 6 and mostly accurate description. I am not going to complain too much, but only point out a few things that were not ideal compared to similar rentals we've done over the years.
Here are the negatives:
- Clean, but an underlying bug problem. Killed some roaches throughout the stay, large and small
- No gas grills throughout premises as stated (a couple of charcoal grills way down a path by the beach)
- Hot tub not fully filled or working properly
- Need some hot pads for kitchen
- No boogie boards as we were told by management
- No assigned parking spots, so difficult to park in spot nearest the unit at night

Property location was amazing. Views spectacular. We really enjoyed the unit itself but the mismanagement by Vacasa has left a negative impression.
When we arrived, we were advised that the upstairs bathroom sink had leaked and was not functional. We were then informed that a replacement part was going to be installed so the bathroom could be useable and that was the last that we heard. The shower upstairs also backed up, never to be serviced.
When one spends the money we did for 8 nights, we would expect that we would have a functional bathroom. If there was the issue with the sink, then we would expect it to be handled. Instead, it was not handled and we never heard another word about it. So, we basically had one functioning bathroom for 4 people when we paid to have 2 bathrooms.
Upon return to the mainland, we had to contact Vacasa and again report the issue and they assured us they would look into the issue and get back to us. Weeks passed and nothing., We reached out to them again, only to be told that they would look into it and get back to us with an offer of compensation to address the fact that we had one bathroom and were completely ignored by Vacasa.
It is now December and of course not one word. Contacted them again to inquire as to status. They responded to the text and then when told that they completely failed to respond, then went dark again.
I really hope the owner reads this review and addresses the issue with his management at the local and corp level

We could hear the ocean from any part of the condo, which we loved. It has a partial ocean view from the balcony and a better ocean view from the dining room and master bedroom. The kitchen was well equipped except for NO sharp knives. We really liked watching the nene's and albatross from the balcony. We watched the sunset from the bluff with beach chairs that were provided. The condo itself is dated and needs work inside. I believe it was built in 1974 and it shows. Self check-in and check-out was easy. We loved the location of this complex.

Nice view and thunderous sounds from the ocean waves.
Be aware that there is no A/C, which makes sleeping in the upstairs loft quite warm. Hundreds of tiny bugs would come in through the screens. Other wise, great stay.

I loved my experience staying at Pali Ke Kua for 12 days on my recent trip to Kauai. Everything about it was wonderful. The condo was nicely furnished and the cupboards and closets were filled with all necessary supplies and more. The condo was exceptionally clean and orderly. The grounds of the property were inviting. The real highlights were the spectacular view and the sounds of the surf from the ocean below the cliffs. Both were mesmerizing. I hope to be able to stay here in future visits to the island.

Our stay at Pali Ke Kua 245 was amazing!
The views were breathtaking and better than pictured. You can see the ocean from anywhere in the main area of the home. It was peaceful and relaxing. The home had everything you would need for a comfortable stay.
My only comment is that I wish there was a keyless entry. You have to go to the rental office to pick up the key and drop off. It’s close to the airport so it wasn’t a big hassle but adds a stop to a long travel day.
Thank you and I look forward to coming back one day!

This is our second time to stay at this unit. It’s beautifully furnished. We love the view and the wildlife is so much fun to watch. Nenes with babies , roosters (yes, he wakes us up in the morning) red top birds, egrets. Sunsets.
Be prepared for mosquitoes. We came prepared with spray , after bite and citronella candles.
Only been home a day and miss it.

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!

Walking in the front door takes your breath with expansive ocean views! 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.

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.

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.
