This condo is beautifully decorated as described in the listing! And the location is absolutely breathtaking!! We have stayed at Pua Poa twice before and were very excited about accessing the amazing snorkeling right below the complex at Hideaways Beach. So we were all obviously very disappointed to find out that the trail down to the beach is presently closed for repairs. I have not researched to see when it will reopen. But it is something to be aware of as of 8/1/2026.Of course this is not a reflection on Gary's property which is simply top notch!

Everything was amazing!! Great beach that is walkable, great walkable restaurant nearby with ocean views, and the sunset on the condo’s patio was fantastic! You will not be disappointed! This condo was perfect for our family of 4!

Beautiful condo on the north shore. Situated right next to the fancy 1 Hotel, which is an easy walk. The property is very secluded on its own private cliff. Our kids loved running around on the grass and swimming in the community pool after days at the beach. The condo itself was very comfortable and spacious. Good stock of the kitchen essentials, beach gear, etc. We look forward to visiting again.

We had such a wonderful stay! The home was absolutely beautiful, clean, comfortable and exactly what we were hoping for. The location was incredible and the views were breathtaking. We loved the peaceful setting and really enjoyed our time in Princeville.Everything about our stay was easy and enjoyable and the property was a perfect home base for our Kauai vacation. We were sad to leave and would absolutely love to stay here again on our next trip. Highly recommend!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay and would book this condo again without hesitation. The location is incredible, perched right on the ocean with breathtaking views. Watching the sunset from the lanai each evening was one of the highlights of our trip.The condo was exceptionally well stocked with everything we needed, and the beds and linens were incredibly comfortable. It was clean, spacious, and thoughtfully appointed, making it easy to relax and feel at home from the moment we arrived.Lucy was an exceptional host. She was warm, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a wonderful stay. It was so refreshing to rent from an individual host rather than a large property management company. The personal communication and attention to detail made the experience feel much more welcoming and special.If you're looking for a beautiful oceanfront condo in an unbeatable location on Kauai's North Shore, this is it. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and are already looking forward to coming back.

The location and views are truly spectacular. Perched on the cliffs in Princeville, the ocean and Bali Hai views are hard to beat, and the location is an excellent base for exploring the North Shore. The owner and local host were also very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. We appreciated the comfortable beds and furniture, and having air conditioning was a real plus since that dies not seem common in Princeville condos.That said, we were disappointed by the condition of the unit relative to our expectations. While functional, the interior felt quite dated and didn't have the luxury feel suggested by the listing and photos. There were several apparent maintenance and cleanliness issues, including what appeared to be moisture-related staining and mildew in some areas, a bathroom vanity cabinet showing signs of water damage, mildew on a lampshade, and numerous scuffs and worn paint throughout the unit. None of these individually detracted from our stay, but together they gave the condo a somewhat tired and less well-maintained feel than we expected.One other note: the listing included a spa whirlpool/hot tub among the amenities, but we were unable to locate one during our stay.Overall, we still enjoyed our time in Princeville because the views and location are exceptional, but we feel the unit would benefit from some updating and attention to maintenance to better align with the expectations set by the listing.

Absolute perfection. The location, the condo, the view, the host… I cannot say enough. We will be back. I will plan our next trip around this property’s availability. Thank you again for sharing your home with us. It was perfect.

Reviewer Comments:
We walked into Puu Poa #110, and my son says, "Really, we're staying HERE?!". The amazing view of the ocean and the lush grassy viewpoint make this place magical. Watching the sunset with Bali Hai in the view was a vacation highlight. It was spacious, well appointed, well decorated, and clean. The bathrooms were clean but dated and are due for a renovation. The very close path to Hideaways Beach was shutdown for maintenance, which was a heart breaker (part of the reason why we chose this place). But overall we definitely recommend this place and recommend the Princeville area for its amazing mountain backdrops and upscale feel. Hanalei was a fun town to visit and eat dinner. If you like snorkeling, Anini Beach and Tunnels Beach are a must do.
