Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: Beautiful, comfortable condo in a great location. The condo was clean and fully furnished with high end amenities. We were surprised at all the beach gear. We also liked to use the telescope to view the ocean.The bed was very comfortable as was the living room furniture. Our only issue was not being able to use the balcony much due to a plugged drain, keeping standing water over half the area must of the time. Overall, we could tell the owner has great attention to detail and wants everyone to have a great vacation.

Absolutely spectacular accomodations. Property is exactly as advertised. The property was clean, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach in beautiful Princeville. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor deck with the gorgeous sunset views. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable beach vacation. Hope to return.

We enjoyed a couple of days in this gorgeous condo. The view is incredible, and we adore the "secret" beach down below the canopy. It was well stocked, clean, and very comfortable.

We loved the location. Close to the beach and pool. There are a lot of steps to get into the place and several steps in the home. My husband fell going down into the patio (luckily, he has strong bones) and twisted his ankle. We were disappointed with the unit as it appeared like it hadn't been kept up. The pictures were decieving. I've never given a negative review and don't like to but this was not what I was expecting.

Really awesome experience staying at this condo. It was super clean, and absolutely beautiful. Really cool area and location, and awesome scenery from the unit. Gary was very good at communicating and left clear instructions we can’t thank him enough.

What a beautiful place!!!!! We were truly in awe of the views from the balcony. The kitchen, bathroom, and closets had everything we needed!! The Vacasa property mngmt team was so helpful when we needed them!!!Suggestion- send a map of the property with check in email. Since it was already dark when we got to the property, we had no idea which building was ours. The directory map on the property is barely lit.

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful setting. Mark's condo was beautifully decorated and the view can't be beat. Mark was also great as far as communication went. He always responded to our questions promptly.Unfortunately, the weather wasn't the best but we still had an amazing time! I would definitely recommend Marks condo if you plan to stay in Kauai.

One of my favorites locations to have stayed while in Princeville. Very comfortable, clean, great location and well maintained.

The place has incredible views both of the mountains from the front door to expansive ocean views from everywhere else. Very clean and spacious as well as the AC being great. Not a whole lot negative about the place. The primary shower head does leak a bit, but it wasn’t a big deal. I will say that being asked to clean dishes and do laundry for the price of the rental, which included a substantive cleaning fee, was a little frustrating.

Great stay! Condo was nice! Love that you added the beach chairs. They are a must when staying in Princeville! Views were stunning. Perfect for our family of 4! Beach was close but a steep walk….worth it if your up for the hike! Husband loved the golf course! Overall greatVacation!

We were so glad we ended up selecting this location on the North Shore, the condo was just as described. The lanais were the best part. We had everything we needed for the the entirety of our trip (didn’t need to go buy more toilet paper, etc). The communications coming from both the owner and the rental company led to a little confusion. With all the VRBOs I’ve stayed in before, all the info I needed was within the VrBO app. I had to hunt through old emails to find checkout info for this stay. That was my only negative point.

Our group was 2 couples at this spacious, beautiful condo with amazing views. We loved being able to walk to Hideaways Beach to snorkel just below our unit. We were able to navigate the steep descent to the beach, though anyone with physical limitations might have trouble. The ropes along the sides helped us manage. We saw some whales splashing in the distance, even in May! We made good use of the two lanais, having most meals outdoors and used the private BBQ. The pool is great and big enough to enjoy with others present. Note that there is only one portable AC in the back bedroom, that was too noisy to use. The primary bedroom temp was ok with opening the slider and using the fan. In warmer months, it could be too hot. We’d stay here again and highly recommend it.

The location and features of this property were just what we needed. I booked it based on the skylit atrium, and it did not disappoint. I spent happy hours there, rain or shine, with my husband or alone when he was hiking. The view of the waves on the rocky beach was wonderful, and the constant sound of the surf made a soothing backdrop. Tracey was great to work with; she let us know we might be impacted by some renovation on a nearby unit and compensated with early check in, which worked great for our situation. Our kids who were leaving the island would have gladly stayed there with us! The master bed was very comfortable, and we did not miss a/c due to the great ocean breeze.

We cannot say enough to express how wonderful this place is. It was absolutely perfect for our 2nd Honeymoon to celebrate 25 years together . Laurie was so kind and responsive. The location and views are paradise. Snorkeling with sea turtles and beautiful fishes at Hideaways Beach, hiking the trails along the Napali Coast, exploring the island - everything was magical here. The condo is beautifully decorated, comfortable, and equipped with everything you could possibly need. We are already thinking about our return trip! Mahalo, Anne and George!

May 2025

Beautiful view. Spacious accommodations. Quiet area. Well stocked kitchen (no seasonings or any supplemental food items, though. And no left-over storage like Tupperware). Comfortable beds. We really loved it. Reminder… it is a flight and a half down to the Vrbo…and no elevators.

Keith's residence was an absolute GEM of a find in Kauai. This was my first time visiting in Kauai and initially, I was planning on staying in Hanalei but when I came across Keith's location in Princeville, I couldn't resist booking my stay there. It was also very close to Hanalei, so a win there as well! From the moment I booked the property, Keith introduced himself and provided thoughtful suggestions for my first time in Kauai. When I arrived, I was speechless when I entered the residence. The views were 10/10 and the amount of detail in every inch of the place was amazing. I thought I was thorough, but WOW, I think Keith beat me there. The place was immaculate for cleanliness. There were plenty of beach items for me to use around the island. The kitchen was stocked with everything you basically needed just like I was in my own home. Prior to coming to Kauai, I stayed in Maui for 7 days and although both places were nice; Keith's hospitality, responsiveness and care that he put in the residence placed my Kauai stay way over the top. Keith, Mahalo for making my trip one of the most amazing vacations I have had. You should win TOP HOST of the year with your rental! Can't wait to return! Aloha!

The condo had everything we needed and more. Our host was super helpful, going over and above to ensure we had the best possible stay. The beds were luxurious. Every piece of Tech available you can imagine. Incredible views. Cannot rate this place high enough.

The location and views from this property are wonderful. The location was great, with convenient access to two different beaches and a pool. The unit itself is quite functionally laid-out for a family our size (we have 3 adult children) and stunning views of the ocean. The only minor frustration was a slight plumbing issue, but it is easily remedied.Hanalei Bay and Princeville are absolutely beautiful and this property is ideal for enjoying all the area has to offer!

We thoroughly evaluated over 15 properties (North, South & East) before selecting this unit during initial planning in July 2024. Spacious, clean and comfortable accommodations is a premium for us as we enjoy cooking our own meals, gazing at the ocean view and enjoying condo amenities when local. This unit was inviting in pictures and exceeded our expectations upon arrival. The square footage of the unit is extremely spacious providing many options such as the sitting room in the entry area, living room, and spacious bedrooms. Awesome double head spacious shower in master bedroom! The highlight for us was the lanai, open air deck/balcony. We spent the majority of time on the balcony watching surfers, ocean view, and star gazing. We ate most meals outside. The deck was the perfect balance of privacy, gorgeous sunset views and quiet. The villa is close to beach access and walking paths, and has other amenities within a few miles. I was most impressed with the resources inside the unit for use such as beach towels/chairs, backpack cooler, boogie board, snorkel gear. Fully stocked kitchen wares. The binder with local information and suggestions was helpful to plan activities. It could use a refresh as it appeared 5 yr old with Covid references.The area with multiple resorts is quiet and serene. We appreciated the quiet hours for a good night’s relaxing sleep. The listing write up and pictures totally delivers! Great vacation memories!

As advertized, this condo is the BEST. Close to Princeville shopping, walk to Hanalei Bay Resort and One Hotel, near the Ahi Lele Fire Show/Luau and all of the pristine north shore beaches...Anini, hideaways, tunnels Lumahai and Hanalei Bay. Excellent...Mahalo!!

Just returned from a "too short"stay in Kauai. The owner of this property is amazing: Gary really listens to his renters and offers wonderful advice. Although we did some traveling to other parts of the island, we would have been perfectly happy just spending more of our time at the condo and visiting only nearby attractions. Such a lovely place and perfect for our group of four adults.

Great condo , fabulous location. Warm wood floors, lovely art, felt more like a home. Perfect for my husband and I and our teen son. Fabulous to have the one hotel next-door, which we had many meals. Walking distance to multiple beaches, although they are steep Hills so the beaches are not ideal for those with mobility issues. Not a concern for us. Will be back.

This property was amazing and the perfect base for our visit to Kauai. The unit is spacious and had plenty of room for our family of 3. The views go on for miles, and we loved watching sunsets and surfers and were also lucky enough to see whales from the unit as well. A quick drive to Hanalei Bay with shops and restaurants and a great beach. Overall the property was quiet and calm, although there was some construction work in the unit above us which we were not made aware of before our stay, it made a few of the afternoons a bit loud but we modified our schedules for the remaining days to account for it. We will likely stay here again but would like to see a few maintenance issues addressed.

All day viewing of whales and albatross. Great location to feel like it’s your personal island. Princeville has everything and nearby Hanalei is not too crowded. Condo has everything you need and local grocery minutes away for convenience. Looking forward to staying again!
