Our daughter, who goes to law school back East, invited us (her parents) for her Spring Break! (I know, right!) We chose this beautiful ocean-view condo (with easy walk-to access to a couple of beaches) in Princeville, Kauai. For one 24-hour period, our daughter had a Law Review deadline that had to be met. Your condo inspired her. Everything - first-time entry, accommodations, ocean-view, etc. exceeded our expectations! We plan to return!

The pictures do not do this property justice. Beautifully situated, well maintained, it screams Hawaiian paradise. We whale watched daily from the comfort of the luxurious outdoor seating. Great hosts, very accommodating.

This gem exceeded our expectations. It is so clean and comfortable. This property is beautiful. The two lanais have amazing views. We spent so much time on the lanai and even got to do some stargazing on a clear night. This isn't just a house, it is a home, it is loved and well taken care of. It has beautiful art, the bed is super comfy. We loved our stay here! Plus, the owners are excellent communicators. Highly recommended!

Everything was fantastic. Very private and enjoyed the many extras like snorkel gear/beach chairs and things we were very happy to have available.

We (a couple with 2 teenage girls) enjoyed our stay here. The condo is very spacious and could located a short walk from Hideaway beach. The path to the beach is a little steep but very manageable with the roped handrail to assist. We were provided with everything we needed to have a wonderful time including beach chairs, snorkels, mask, umbrella and boogie board.

Great view, great space The main bedroom is amazing. the other not quite as good (if 2 couples you'll fight over main). Remember that all the beach equipment is in closet on patio. we didn't realize till last day. Would definitely stay again.

This was our 3rd visit to Kauai - first time in Jan./Feb. and this condo. It was a wonderful time to be there. The condo is as advertised in every way, access challenging for those with mobility issues, great beds, roomy shower, welcoming outdoor spaces, etc. For us, the 2 level dining/living room design was unfortunately a big "downfall" as there was nothing - including furniture or safety tape- to make the steps between the 2 spaces obvious and since the ac control was right on the wall at the top of the steps I focused on that and immediately had a bad fall down the 2 steps and broke my wrist the first night within 5 minutes of arrival - greatly limiting planned hiking and beach time for our month vacation. Seemed preventable with tape on 2 step edges (steps visually blended right into floor surface in both dining and living room) or a piece of furniture placed near steps to give new renters a chance to adjust to the set-up. We later moved a bedroom chair to the living room at the bottom of the steps for a visual break. Would we return - absolutely! But after sending information to Vacasa following our trip hoping to encourage them to make a couple of easy safety adjustments, we were very disappointed to not hear a single word back from them. Considering the VRBO service charges, we expected at least a recognition that they would check out ways to address this safety issue. The EMT's said that they had dealt with this issue way too many times at lovely Pu'u Poa.

Beautiful views as described. Sunset would be better from the south side of the island and sunrise from the east. When you think of a penthouse it is pristine. Beds were very comfortable and kitchen was very nice. On the downside, carpet is stained, masterbath shower doesn't drain properly. A couple other issues were promptly addressed.

The pictures don’t do this place justice. The views are incredible. The terrace is huge. Spent hours watching surfers and whales from there. Also spent a lot of time at Pu’u Poa beach next door. Lots of steps but all paved and a less treacherous trek than Hideaway Beach. The condo itself is really well equipped, everything very high quality. I cooked multiple nights and it had everything I needed. I almost didn’t book this place because of the ugly sofa in the pictures. That sofa’s not even there now. Replaced by a much nicer one. So glad I chose it, spent an unforgettable 8 days there..

Prime whale viewing from the lanai! Delicious cocktails and food next door at swanky Hotel One. Hideaways Beach is down a steep hill from the parking lot - anyone without serious mobility issues can access it. Condo is clean, well stocked kitchen with decent pots and pans, not the usual scratched up pans as in other rentals. Comfortable bed, master mattress is soft. Huge shower. Owners are very responsive to questions. No complaints - I’d be happy to stay here again!

The condo was very nice and well equipped. The bed was extremely comfortable. View of the ocean was fantastic for whale watching. Beware that there are stairs no matter which floor you’re on - we thought ground floor would equal easy access…no, it was 3 flights down. Also could use some updating (paint, fixtures). Otherwise, it was perfect and we’d stay again.

We enjoyed our stay at Lotus very much. We have rented at Puu Poa on a number of occasions in the past. The units are spacious and the views of the ocean are great. While Lotus doesn't have a "Bali Hai" view, one can catch the sunsets over the mountains and Hanalei Bay by walking a very short distance. The unit, including the kitchen, is very well furnished. Two soft complaints: the Spectrum TV control did not work well. Need instruction on how to access "regular" TV. Second, it would be nice to have keypad access vs. a lockbox and key. Overall, a very pleasant stay.

This is a spacious condo with amazing views. Leave the windows open and listen to the waves all day and night! Also saw a whale from balcony this morning. Heated pool with ocean views is lovely and there is a beach just below, if you are up for a bit of a hike. We loved our stay!

As indicated from my rating we found that this property meet all our needs. While it is always a bit risky with the weather in the Princeville area we were fortunate on this occasion. The manager of the property, Lauren, was very responsive and helpful.

We spent four days at this property in early February and loved our time. We saw whales throughout the day while sitting on the lanai, the unit is spacious and clean, and the host was readily available. This was a great property and we would definitely stay again.

My partner and I loved watching the whales and surfers from the large lanai. We appreciated the nice beach chairs and it looked like there was enough snorkel equipment and boogie boards in the equipment closet to outfit a crowd. When we accidentally locked ourselves out of the unit, Steve helped get us back in lickety-split.

We have stayed in these condos before. The interior decor of this particular one was outstanding. The kitchen was immaculate, huge and had everything one could desire. It is an end unit which makes it quieter, but it does make getting your belongings in and out of the condo a bit more work.Overall, this is probably the best condominium in that entire complex if you don’t mind steps. We would definitely return again.

The condo was exactly as depicted, and then some. The host, Gary, has thought of everything that a guest might need on a stay. Along with being beautifully situated with an ocean view that stretches for miles, the property is perfect for a romantic getaway. It is close to some great restaurants (short drive), but also perfect for cooking in the great kitchen. Gary is a pleasure to work with. He sent us a welcome package weeks before our trip that was incredibly helpful. Highly recommend this property!

We had a lovely week..very relaxing listening to ocean breezes and exploring beaches. We lost internet due to a storm for a day, but having a nice place to relax it was the upside.We loved the condo… look forward to coming back! Our hosts Noel and Erica were so helpful! Beautiful piece of paradise!

We were two 79 and 81 guys (hetero sexual), celebrating our birthdays in Kauai. In addition, I was celebrating life after cancer. The location was perfect. Next door to the 1Hotel..The beds were great, the living room furniture is dated, tired and uncomfortable. The TV adequate. In general a wonderful place to stay for 10 days.

We had a lovely stay, and the condo was nice. Views are fantastic, and the location outstanding. Condo bright and spacious, with efficient a/c units. Efficient communication with the host, and we were grateful that we could check in early.It was clean, but could use a replacement of bedding and sheets. Carpets and furniture are a bit worn as well. For the price, it seems not unreasonable to ask for a bit more "sharpness" or TLC. Overall I recommend the unit.

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: This Is the 2nd condo at Pu’u Poa in which I’ve stayed and they were both perfect. I prefer to spread out and have living space when I vacation, rather than a tiny one-room hotel option, and the Pu’u Poa condos are just homey and cozy and Oceanside heaven. Two beds, two baths, great kitchen/dining area, fantastic living room and two breathtaking lanais with the best views you can get. I saw too many whales spraying and breaching to count, watched the fog dance around the mountain and drifted to sleep hearing the waves crash at our shore. The condo was well-appointed, impeccably clean and had a sweetly-Hawaiian/island-style decor that, while a bit out-dated, was still nice, classic and understated, and invited you to just relax and enjoy your life in that precious time and space. Check in and check out was easy, communication with management was a breeze. The new hotel, 1 Hotel, opened up in 2023 and was a fantastic next door neighbor as their restaurants are gorgeous and serve great food, and literally are a 4 minute lovely walk from the condo. I was there for breakfast and dinner every day. The Pu’u Poa condos are quiet, feel very safe and are nestled in a beautiful community. I will definitely be back!

Lovely stay for a week. Lucy and Doug live locally and were quickly responsive to minor problem. Every morning we could see whales spouting in the distance. Unfortunately I came down with a cold, so we didn’t get out as much as I hoped, but it was a comfortable place to hang out. Local Foodland has lots of prepared food, so I didn’t need to cook.

This was our second stay in this unit. It was just as wonderful as the first time, maybe even more, as we had really missed it. This condo is impeccably clean and comfortable, very well maintained, and we feel at home here. The decor and ambience makes you feel that you are privileged to be staying in someone's much loved home. Views are great, it is quiet and we relax so well here.We look forward to our next stay.A big thank you to our hosts!

This was an amazing space. Condo was perfect and equipped nicely. We enjoyed the view from the lanai, saw whales and omg, the stars at night! Only thing we thought was a bit much was the constant landscaping noise in the daytime hours. Maybe management could limit to a few days instead of almost daily. Once you tuned it out, it sure was great! Princeville is an amazing area. We loved the scenery all around and enjoyed delicious meals. Our davorite was Happy Talk. Great food and service.
