Puu Poa Reviews


We loved our stay in this gorgeous home. It's on a hill with wonderful views of Hideaway's Beach (accessible by trail) where the snorkeling is incredible. It's also right next door to the 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay, where we enjoyed several meals and happy hours. The unit is clean and well equipped with everything we needed. There are views from pretty much every room. We'd absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend.

Best condo in Princeville. Ocean view and beaches are within walking distance.

Pu'a Poa 402 is the most beautiful place we've ever stayed. The condo is beautiful with everything available to make our stay perfect. The location was extremely quiet and peaceful. The view and private deck is a great place to sit, listen to the ocean and watch people surf. We actually miss being there but will be back. Thanks again Gary!

Very happy with our recent stay. It's a quick hike down to Hidden Beach, but the surf was rough and the coral close to shore, so not ideal for little kids if you bring any. Very convenient western edge of the Princeville development means you're only minutes away by car to Hanalai shops, restaurants and beaches. Owner is very accommodating and provides a helpful info on restaurants, beaches, and places of interest. Would stay here again without hesitation.

Great place to stay for views, beach and golf in a comfortable environment. We cooked every night enjoying the fish and vegetables of Kauai.

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: Pu'u Poa 312 is a very nice condo with the best possible views. The unit is spacious and well appointed (although as advertised, there is no air conditioning). Management service was prompt to resolve some minor issues that popped up during our stay. Best nearby activities:- Kayaking on the Hanalei River- Hiking the Kalalau Trail- Tennis on Pu'u Poa court- Local farmer's market in Princeville

The property was clean and has amazing views. Too many amenities to list and the host was great. Get away from it all and live in splendor.

Check in was so easy (just show up and use the key pad for access). The condo felt like a home with upto date furniture and kitchen utensils. Location is definitely one of the best on Kauai, next door to 1 Hotel ( previously Ritz Carlton). Host was engaged and local, able to respond to any pressing need (though we had none). Will book this condo again.

WOW was our reaction when we walked through the front doors. Panoramic views of Bali Hai and pacific ocean from solarium and lanai. If you are a group of 2-4 people book this property! Kitchen/dinging area/living room/lanai are great spaces and very well equipped. The property is in top condition and communications with the owner were simple and very helpful. Don't foget to snorkel at Hideaway Beach which is below the property. Amaing snorkeling with the most healthy coral we have seen in sometime.

We loved our vacation in Kauai and especially the condo and property. The proximity to North Kauai's beaches, Hanalei, The Na Pali Coast Trail, Princeville and Kilauea was great. Paul was a great host with good communication about the condo. Looking forward to a return trip!

This is a little oasis tucked inside Princeville. The management was amazing and we had a seamless vacation! The home is inviting and walking distance to a beautiful, calm beach. They left a sweet assortment of welcome goodies, which started us off on the right foot :). You will love your stay here!

This place was in the heart of everything Princeville. You can walk to One Hotel, hideaway, beach, etc. Lovely lovey place with all of the right appointments. If you check in at night, just know that the parking area is super dark and it's a bit cumbersome = but that can be cured with a flashlight. This place was a 5 out of 5. I liked it so much, I left my watershoes on their back porch!

My wife and I spent 4 nights at Lucy’s condo. It was exactly as described and pictured. Condo was great with everything we needed. Views from the lanai are fantastic. Short walk to beaches and several restaurants. Easy drive to Hanalei. Nice relaxing stay.

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: Owners have thought of everything in furnishing a great vacation rental. Even though there were only three of us, there was plenty of room to totally be alone and relax. The view is terrific and the resident NeNe Geese Family were a delight to watch every day. Any issues that did come up were handled immediately and Kauai Vacation Rentals were super to work with. The only negative would be the amount of stairs leading to and from the unit, so if there are mobility issues, this is not for you as there are no elevators.

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: Overall, this is probably the 2nd best unit in the entire complex. The best being the one above it (412) since no one is above that unit. The reason it's one of the top units at Puu Poa is because it's the end unit with views to the north and to the west as well as to the east from the guest room! The only real complaint we had was that the shower heads need to be replaced. They are very old and the stream coming out of the shower heads are really bad and spray in weird directions. Should be an easy inexpensive fix.

November 2023

Wonderful accommodations. Clean and well stocked with all that you need. Probably a good idea to add some new beach chairs to the unit. Also, we came in at night and hallway lighting was limited. Some lights were burnt out. Great location to Anini beach and Hanalei. It would be great if you could work out a deal with Makai Golf so we wouldn’t need to take out a second mortgage to play golf. Highly recommend this venue.

We were so pleased to return to this wonderful condo for another stay. Our brother and sister-in-law, who were with us, were very impressed as well. This condo not only has beautiful views, but is impeccably maintained, very clean, and well stocked with all the basics and then some. There are so many thoughtful touches, including a welcome bottle of wine and macadamia nuts upon arrival! There are instructions for everything which are very clear and so helpful. The owner, Gary, is an excellent host and makes sure there is a clear way to contact his property manager, or even himself, if any need arises. You can’t really ask for a more beautiful place to stay, nor could you ask for a more gracious host! Truly, just wonderful! Thank you Gary for another fantastic stay! The Rogers

Loved this Condo! Location was excellent and beautiful. Mesmerizing views, watching sunsets, surfers, big waves (especially during the high surf warnings), cooking on the grill and enjoying meals on the Lanai Absolutely loved falling asleep to the sounds of the waves. As well as waking up to the crow of roosters, chirping birds and yes the waves! Condo was very clean upon arrival and was well stocked which minimized what we had to buy in regards to spices, toiletries etc… Communication with the owner was seamless. Would most definitely recommend this condo!

October 2023

We recently stayed at this property for a few days while visiting north Kauai, and it exceeded our expectations. The condo was spacious, beautifully designed, fully equipped, and in an excellent location. The unit is right next to the community pool (which was never crowded). Visitors can simply walk out the back door and into the pool area - very convenient. The complex is at a beautiful location on the Princeville cliffs with breathtaking views. The neighbors were quiet, and we really enjoyed our stay. Zero complaints. One feature to be aware of when considering this rental is that it is located down two flights of stairs, which can be difficult to manage with large/heavy luggage. A small price to pay for a spectacular stay on north Kauai! We loved it and would stay here again if ever back in Princeville.

October 2023

We had an incredible stay. We live Kauai and especially the north side. The views from either lanai are incredible, and watching surfers in the morning is the perfect way to start to the day. The condo is very well stocked and incredibly private for shared living. We loved everything about and Lucy was awesome. Hideaway beach is a true gem and literally steps away. We will return!!!!
Michael L.
October 2023

Breathtaking views, loved watching surfers everyday from one of two outside seating areas. The condo was quite large with high quality furniture and appliances. Everything we wanted was supplied. Wonderful location, walking distance to the beach. Hosts could not have been better. They went far above and beyond to help us and educate us on the area. I would book any of the properties owned by these hosts without hesitation.

My wife and I stayed 5 nights to celebrate our 21st anniversary. The condo unit was very spacious, a lot of natural light and a fanastic ocean front view. You can also see the mountain peak that is the begining of the Napali Coast next to the sun going down into the ocean. There were three AC units in the unit that provided plenty of cooling. There were also ceiling fans in every room and a washer and dryer. We really liked Hidaways beach witch was directly down a bluff below us. A trail led down to the beach from the edge of the property.

A spectacular setting, within minutes of a number of world-class beaches. The property lived up to the description very well, with panoramic views of the ocean and complete amenities.

The property is absolutely beautiful. The kitchen is the most well stocked of any ive seen. The bed was very comfortable with a view. It is so spacious you could stay comfortably for a month! Wish i could. The location is minutes from Hanalei Bay which is so very nice. Great food, shave ice, kayaking. From the condo you can walk to excellent snorkeling. We also enjoyed the pool- not much because there was too much to do. And the. Relaxing on the beautiful lanai with sunsets that were inspiring was the end of perfect days. We did travel the entire island but would definitely stay on the North shore again- hopefully in 209.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo is nice but could use a furniture update. The main couch is leatherette (feels like plastic...) and torn all along the bottom. It looks very cheap. The other sofas seem to be old furniture from a second hand store. Kitchen is huge- we didn’t cook at all. Master bedroom is a bit odd with only a shutter instead of a wall or door on one side- not very private. Very nice bed, mattress comfortable and lovely Hawaiian quilt. Second bedroom is very small and feels dark. It’s odd there is no patio, only grass. Pool very nice. Location excellent.

My husband and I spent two wonderful weeks on Kauai’s north coast. The photos of this listing sold me, and accurately reflect the beauty of the condo. The owner is the best I've ever dealt with, responding quickly and completely to questions and supplying his guide to seeing and doing all the best on Kauai. I spent every morning sitting on the lanai watching the sunrise over the ocean, with the resident NeNe geese checking in with me. This property is not beachfront, but is oceanfront with gorgeous views, and a quick walk down the grass to the pool. We appreciated the AC units as we adjusted to the humidity in the lush Princeville area.

We will definitely be back!

The condo is the perfect place to stay in Princeville. The views are breathtaking, especially the sunsets. The condo has everything you need, including beach chairs, towels, beach toys etc. to make for the perfect beach day.

We have rented in Pu'u Po'a several times in addition to other places on Kauai. The best thing about the unit is the owner, Keith. A personalized welcome video on his Echo was the first indication that honest communication was one of his highest priorities. The fact that the unit is not rented through a management company results in a better supply of kitchen and beach items, both of which were impressive. Boogie boards, umbrellas, beach chairs and snorkel gear were all available. This was our first Pu'u Po'a rental on the ground floor, which has the distinct advantage of quick access to the pool. The views are maybe marginally not as good as the upper floors, but this unit has much better "Bali Hai" views compared to many of the other units that face more easterly. Many owners will tout having A/C, saying it's not common on Kauai. This is no longer really true at Pu'u Po'a since many of the owners have now installed A/C. Keith's system is one of the better ones, consisting of four mini-splits with individual controls connected to an outside compressor. One small negative, which is shared by many of the Pu'u Po'a units, is the use of doors with slats. The idea was probably that it would improve air circulation, but it results in a little less privacy. Hideaways Beach, directly below the condo, is one of the better snorkeling beaches on the island. It is still accessed by a fairly steep path, but it has been improved with new ropes and steps. Highly recommend!

Overall (3 stars) - Location was fantastic overlooking ocean (5 stars) - Construction noise weekdays 8a-3p/4p (0 stars) - Communication was timely when I had questions during the stay, but no advance notice of construction while booking (3 stars) - Property: furniture/decor is dated, unit has good A/C, good wifi, lacking privacy since unit above can look down into living space outside primary bedroom and primary bedroom has vertical blind door/wall separating it from living space (3 stars) Details for the above. Location (5 stars) - The property location is amazing and A/C was needed since it was warm during our stay. View of the ocean is breathtaking. Walking distance to dining at 1 Hotel (expensive but good) and hideaway beach (short physical hike down the cliff). Construction Noise (0 stars) - 6 units were undergoing renovation so construction noise started at 8a every weekday and went until the afternoon (3p-4p). We planned to sleep in and relax at the condo/pool but this was not possible with the saws and jack hammers in use daily. If you plan to be out before 8a every day, this will not impact you. Communication (2 stars) - Richard communicated clearly and quickly when I messaged during the stay (5 stars). When I enquired about construction noise, he knew of some construction and recommended we plan activities away from the unit during the weekday (0 stars since recommendation wasn't our plan and construction he was aware of wasn't communicated during booking).

September 2023

The unit was spacious with most anything you would need in the kitchen. Great view overlooking the ocean. The major drawback (and this was a BIG one for us) is that Pu'u Poa is being renovated and there was jackhammering every work day! We had booked this unit almost a year in advance, so owners may not have known.

This unit is very nice for a family. Clean. The views are amazing with the grass and ocean off the Lanai. The only issue is that there are friendly geese that mess up the lanai. A garden hose to rinse off the droppings would be great. Still 5 stars. Would definitely return.

Amazing stay! Clean, organized, cool (temperature-wise), and you can’t beat the view. Mark was very communicative. I would stay here again.

September 2023

Doug and Lucy’s condo in Princeville, Kauai was everything and more. Kauai was a bucket list trip for us and the condo was a true hilight. Doug and Lucy were great with communication and guided us to snorkeling gear in the condo. We loved hiking down to Hideaway Beach many times, swimming, snorkeling and watching the sunset. The apartment was so comfortable - with two Lanai’s, a fully stocked kitchen with everything we could want. We enjoyed cooking and having dinners on the lanai with that “view”! I highly recommend this condo and staying on the North Shore if you are looking for something different than the resort-scene. We chose this for the great value (2 BR and kitchen) and comfort vs a resort. Thank you to Doug and Lucy for sharing your slice of heaven with us. We hope to come back one day and stay here again!!

Wowwowwow! The property, the location, the VIEWS and the owner…all top notch! Knowing that our first week of vacation was to take place on Maui before heading to Princeville, Mark was gracious enough to reach out to us to see if we wanted to arrive earlier than planned because of the Lahaina fires. All communication with Mark was clear, timely and helpful. The property itself is exceptional; clean, well-stocked with amenities (in the kitchen and for the beach), a beautiful, LARGE lanai and again, that view! We were fortunate enough to catch many incredible rainbows and sunsets from our lanai each day. This location in Pu’u Poa will be our Go To each time we return to Kauai…thank you, Mark, for helping to make our memories of this trip to Kauai particularly special ones…mahalo!

This property is beautiful and is in a great location. We only had 5 full days in Kauai and we knew we wanted to stay on the north shore since that is where we were mostly exploring. This made a great base for me, my husband and my 2 kids (ages 12 and 18). One day we did drive to other side of island to see Waimea Canyon but it didn’t seem that far and we were back by the late afternoon. From the condo you can hike down to Hideaway Beach which is steep if you have mobility issues but otherwise easily doable. We also went next door to 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay to enjoy their beach and restaurants. The condo is within easy driving distance of Hanalei Bay , a grocery store and restaurants in the north. While we were there we enjoyed snorkeling cruise on Napali coast, hiking first few miles of Kalalau trail, and riding in a helicopter - all within short drive of condo. The condo was a good layout for our family and the kitchen is well stocked. We had lots of room to spread out. Wish it hadn’t been as warm as it was to sit outside during the day because the balcony has a beautiful view but we did enjoy it in the evenings for the sunset! This is a beautiful property that we will rent again if we ever blessed enough to come back to Kauai!

September 2023

Beautiful, spacious home in a great location. Great snorkeling on a hidden beach 5 minute walk, We saw turtles every venture. Gorgeous sunsets, convenient location. Staff are responsive and helpful. Highly recommended.

We would definitely stay here again if we’re fortunate to come back.

Our stay was nothing short of amazing. We normally stay at a nearby resort when going to Kauai but found this gem of a condo and could not have been happier with our choice. The condo was spotless, had everything we needed for our stay, and the recommendations/welcome guide provided by the host was very thoughtful. We loved every minute of our stay, and already missing the endless ocean views. Thank you for sharing your beautiful piece of paradise with us!

The top-floor condo has lovely views, is centrally located to several North Shore beaches, and is well-maintained. The unit was VERY clean. It is stocked with essentials and has decent mattresses, sheets, towels, kitchen items, etc. The outdoor patio furniture was comfortable and the grill was new. There were not a lot of beach items besides a cooler and small beach towels. My only "complaint" is the state of the window screens - there were massive tears in almost all of them, so lots of bugs joined the party at night if the windows were open. Hopefully, that will be corrected soon. A few things to note: There are a few flights of stairs getting up to the unit, so if that’s an issue for you, a lower level may be a better choice. The Wi-Fi is not ideal, especially when it storms/rains - but that’s Kauai. It may be important if you are trying to work while here, though, so it’s worth mentioning. There is air conditioning (yay!) which is lovely in the afternoons because of top floor heat. As of this stay/review, many of the other units are under remodel/construction - in case you are sensitive to that kind of noise (9-3 weekdays) - for example: the unit right by the pool was being worked on, so it was not exactly relaxing until the weekend -if you are out exploring/beaching all day, it won’t matter. All that said - this is one of the better units I’ve rented in this complex. I would stay here 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: This condo was fantastic - so fully stocked...down to beach gear, pickleball equipment, spices, cooking utensils...everything we needed was at our fingertips. But the best part? The view and the location, right above the most gorgeous beach: Hideaways Beach. It is a steep path down, but with rope guardrails that help and by the fourth trek up and down, I felt stronger, and like a pro. And there is no parking for this beach so it felt like our own oasis. Spectacular!

The property is beautifully sited, convenient to Hanalei Bay and Napali coast (15 mins). Host was great at communicating with recommendations and help. Site is clifftop and view is beautiful, particularly at sunset. Nene joined us on the patio or grass each evening. The property has been around a while so expect stairs, a bit of 80s feel, and a few renovations needed but almost everything was perfect. T-Mobile service spotty, but Verizon not bad; WiFi was good. A/C good, but a bit noisy now and then. If staying here, plan to eat-in most meals as drive required to most restaurants and patio and dining views exceed available almost anywhere else.

This 2nd floor condo had amazing views and all the comforts of home. The kitchen was stocked with supplies and they had everything from beach chairs and umbrellas to beach towels. The condo was very comfortable with wonderful ocean breezes and lots of privacy. Would definitely stay here again!

We loved our stay - our only complaint is we had to go home!!! The unit and location were gorgeous, close to wonderful beaches and snorkeling spots, incredible view…. Check in was easy! Great pool! We can’t wait to visit again!

I can say without hesitation that this is the best property we've ever rented. Here are just some of the reasons why this is the case: 1. Location: This condo is in the ideal location for a Kauai stay. Every morning you wake to the beautiful NaPali coast and the ocean, every evening you have the perfect sunset view. The condo sits above the best snorkeling beach in the area, and next to a 5-star hotel where you can go to a fancy dinner or have cocktails. 2. Property: The condo is spacious, bright and airy, has excellent air conditioning, is tastefully decorated. It has everything you need - top-notch snorkel gear, chairs, coolers, kitchen supplies, bath products. 3. Condo owner: Keith is the most helpful and responsive person I've ever rented from. He was more like a concierge than an owner - he provided excellent tips both before our stay and during, answered every question promptly. By the end he felt more like a friend than just a person we were renting from! We look forward to staying here again some day!

I cannot say enough great things about this beautiful place. We stayed almost week and the location was perfect. The condo itself is simply perfect. Its completely updated . The best of everything!! the view spectacular. This second room only has one bed and my boys are 18$20 so sharing abed is not an option. They left a blow up mattress which worked fine. So just be aware of that. Worth the blow up mattress to stay in this spectacular home. THANK YOU

This online description does not do this place justice. It is much better and apart from being in beautiful Kauai, likely the best VRBO property I’ve ever stayed in. From the outstanding communication and service from the property owner to the well stocked unit to the amazing view, we couldn’t have asked for more. The location is convenient to Hideaway beach and other amazing spots along the north shore, Hanalei and the Na Pali coast. We had to evacuate Maui during the fires and the owner was quick and willing to turn over the unit so we could check in same day. I really hope when we return to Kauai this unit will be available.

We chose it for the location, size, cancellation policy, and air conditioning. It was the perfect choice for us. The owners are great, as a bonus. I’d love the privilege of staying here again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful spot with great ocean view, although Pali Ke Kua nearby has ocean and mountain views. Some deferred maintenance issues - air conditioning kept shutting off requiring frequent flipping of circuit breaker, front curtains would not completely close, some light bulbs were out, one beach chair was broken. But place was clean and overall we enjoyed our stay.

If you are looking for the perfect place to stay on the North Shore, this is it. The condo is incredible. Perfectly equipped, amazing view, perfect location, the master bedroom bed is so comfortable, and Keith (the owner)…we have never worked with a better owner in all our years of vacationing. Keith is Host Extraordinaire! He is also an incredible concierge and ambassador for all things Kauai. No need to continue scrolling….this is the condo you want to rent and Keith is the owner you want to rent from!!! This place is Perfect!

We celebrated our grandson’s first birthday and made wonderful lifelong memories in Kauai. The location of this condo is ideal and the living space is very functional for a family. The sunsets from the patio are amazing! The kitchen is well equipped. The condo has been well loved and is showing its age. Some general updates are needed as well as repairs of patio tiles. The overall cleanliness if the condo upon arrival was poor.

This was a beautiful place and perfect for our family of five. It was a great location to see the sights and watch the sun set.

Property is exactly as advertised. Wonderful stay with our family (kids 13 and 11). Hosts were super responsive, and property was fully stocked with everything you would need. We were sad to leave.

This condo was honestly the best place we’ve ever stayed in all our years of traveling. By far! From the moment we booked it months ago, Anne has been nothing but a wonderful host. She reached out immediately with some details of how to make our stay enjoyable; restaurants to eat at and places where we should think about getting reservations in advance of our arrival. The check-in process was a breeze and the condo was in perfect condition. There were some nice welcome gifts and the condo was STOCKED. Everyone has experienced those condos where the host hasn’t even provided you with a knife to use. Not this place. There was nothing we needed that wasn’t already available in the condo. Kitchen was stocked with anything you need and there were also all the things you need to go to the beach. Chairs, umbrella, coolers, snorkel gear to just name a few. The location is awesome as well. It is secluded from all the busyness of a normal resort and yet you are close to town, the beach and places to eat. I have already highly recommend this place and these hosts to many friends and family. We will definitely go back. Thank you Anne for your wonderful hospitality.

We loved everything about this place! It's so dreamy and we were able to truly relax and enjoy the gorgeous views and surrounding beaches. I would be thrilled to visit this place again, my husband raved the entire time. If you're trying to decide on a spot in Princeville/Hanalei, pick this one!

Luxury, super view, nearby beaches, easy parking And Be prepared to walk up three flights… we knew in advance and that was fine but for folks with bad knees or hips, you may want a lower floor Comfortable, clean and very well equipped
