What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 995 Guest Reviews


Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Staying at this Princeville condo complex feels like settling into a quiet, leafy neighborhood on Kauai’s North Shore. Guests love the location for easy access to Hanalei, Haʻena/Na Pali, Anini, Hideaways, and golf-course walking paths, plus nearby shops and Foodland. The grounds are well kept, and the pool, hot tub, and BBQ area are consistent highlights after beach days. Many units are spotless and thoughtfully stocked with beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, coolers, snorkel sets), guidebooks, and little conveniences; private lanais are frequently praised for morning coffee and evening wind-downs. Hosts and managers get high marks for friendly, prompt communication and smooth check-ins.

Accommodations vary from well-updated 1–2BR condos (some with lofts) and full kitchens to more compact studios with kitchenettes. Several units include in‑suite laundry, which travelers find very handy, and many beds are noted as comfortable. Overall value is strong for a North Shore base: most guests use the condos as a relaxing home base between hikes, snorkeling, and beach time, and many say they’d gladly return.

Common trade‑offs to know: many units do not have central A/C; fans and breezes usually suffice, but it can feel warm during hot afternoons (a few units offer bedroom or portable A/C). As with most condo communities (and Kauai’s roosters), light sleepers may notice footsteps, neighbor chatter, or road noise in certain buildings—earplugs help. Studios typically don’t have a full stovetop and some require washing dishes in a bar/bath sink; laundry isn’t universal. Parking and wayfinding within the complex can be confusing at night, and assigned spots aren’t always obvious—ask for a detailed map. Occasional wear-and-tear or tropical pests crop up here and there, but the overall sentiment is very positive, with cleanliness, location, amenities, and host responsiveness standing out.

Beautiful island decor in every space. Delightful host owner! She gave us wonderful tips about the island and even has a custom notebook binder with all of the wonderful things to see. My experience in this place felt like magic.

This was the perfect spot for our Hawaii getaway! It is in a great location in Princeville, an easy drive or walk to nearby beaches and food! The space itself was quaint but satisfied all our needs - the kitchenette and bathroom were great to utilize and the patio was a nice spot to sit outside! Also incredibly helpful to have beach equipment and towels to use while we were there. Would definitely stay again!

The Princeville area was very pretty and I liked being close to the north shore. When using the shower only slight turn the knob for hot water, don’t turn it all the way otherwise the water will stay cold.

Wonderful stay, Kimberly was super helpful and communicative. The property has everything you need for a wonderful beach stay

August 2025

Had everything we needed and more. Comfortable and close to a lot of things. A little noisy from proximity to neighboring unit and early morning traffic on road, since we slept with windows open for airflow. Never needed A/C even with above average temps.

Kimberlee’s condo was perfect for our time on the north shore. The studio is comfortable and well-appointed with everything needed for beach days and spending time exploring Kauai’s beauty. Kimberlee is also a fantastic host: incredibly helpful and responsive. Its so easy to recommend as a place for a couple to stay while visiting Kauai.

We had a great stay. Checking in and out was easy. Enough parking spaces around the building. Very nice apartment that has all the utilities you need during a stay (only keep in mind that there is no stove in case you want to cook, but the bbq area is great). AC and fan worked well. It is very quiet in the apartment building. Apartment has a cooler, umbrella and 2 beach chairs. The swimming pool, hot tub and bbq area is nice. The garden around the apartment and pool area is beautiful.Only possible downside is that it is very bright in the room in the morning (there are no darkening blinds or curtains), but this did not bother us too much.

Our stay at this condo was amazing. The owner, Mike, was more than helpful with anything that we needed. We ran into a couple of small issues and he was immediately there to help. He was extremely friendly and I would definitely get a condo off of him again. The place was very clean and had all of the essentials that we would need for our stay. Cannot recommend more.

Great place and excellent location on the north shore. Fully stocked kitchen. Clean. Lots of information about Kauai. Loved the beach chairs and umbrella and boogie boards. Wish we had known there was leftover shampoo and toothpaste from prior guests before we stocked up at Walmart. Excellent pool and hot tub.

We really enjoyed our stay. No complaints from us.However, I’ll share some feedback that you may want to look into for your future guests.Front door knob lock is missing. Only the metal storm door had locks on it.Living room sliding door is very hard to move. Could use some grease?Upstairs fan sporadically turned on and off.Thanks for hosting us!

Check in was amazingly easy. Unit was clean and very comfortable. A/C was a real bonus as the weather was hot and humid. We didn't use the "kitchen" (which was set up outdoors on the deck) at all but there did seem to be a good assortment of utensils. Parking was plentiful and there was always a spot available. Location was quite convenient, Hanalei was just a few minutes away as was Anini Beach.

The surroundings were well-maintained and everything looked neat and tidy, but the accommodation itself felt a bit outdated. Inside, it didn’t quite meet our expectations, and there was no air conditioning, which made it less comfortable.

The atmosphere was excellent. We could enjoy the beautiful sunset every evening and cute nenes too.

Affordable unit in a great location. The condo was well-stocked with beach accessories, and we loved having both air conditioning and a washer/dryer right in the unit. Eric, the property owner, was easy to work with and quick to respond to inquires.

Great unit in a great area of Princeville. If you want a unit with AC and a good kitchen, this is the right call. Great area, assigned parking spot and great beach toys. A.

Everyone making this place out to be awful, and it’s really not. If you are looking for a safe, cheap place to shower and sleep at this is as good as it gets. No A/C, your not gunna need it at night. If your planning on staying cooped up inside for your trip, stay home or go to a resort.

We stayed here for two nights to explore the north shore and the place was perfect for everything we needed. Would stay here again.

Mike was a great host and the unit was comfortable and well appointed. There was an issue out of his control but he took care of it swiftly and made sure our visit was enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Kauai.

This was the perfect place for us to stay for four nights during our North Shore adventure on Kaua'i, as first-time visitors and honeymooners. The studio was clean and serene. We looked forward to relaxing on the lanai for leisurely mornings and breezy evenings. The property is well-appointed for beach excursions and located in a great location close to groceries at Foodland, within walking distance to Queen's Bath, and a short drive to Hanalei Bay and the surrounding shoreline. Kimberlee was easy to communicate with and listed some solid recommendations in the property guide. We would come back in a heartbeat!

Mike the owner communicated well before arrival, everything was very clean and bug free. I made some suggestions to him after leaving and he took the feedback well and said he would implement my suggestions. I would definately rent from Mike again.

The property was great the only downfall is there was no A/C and i really cant complain about that. Even though it was warm during the day it cooled off nicely at night. The host was great even call me to to insure I new about a tsunami warning.

Excellent 2-story condo in Princeville at a (for Princeville) reasonable price. Loved the ceiling fans, air conditioning, and large size extra beds (for man-sized teenage sons). Was able to cook a lot in the kitchen (saving eating-out costs which are high in Kauai). The TVs are nice, the deck is nice, and the washer and dryer worked well. We mostly drove to the beach and hiking spots, but we did use the pool too.

Kimberlee the hostest,could not of been kinder or more helpful. ..I found her to be genuine and very caring.. ..I stayed for 2 weeks in this little bungalow with my grandson and it was ideal !! We hiked in the daytime and then came back to the pool. Swimming & hot tub combo was terrific.... I loved it ! It had all the basics we needed, and even a little porch to eat on and feel the breeze...great location..great hostest..There wasn't a downside !

Very clean unit, comfortable sleeping arrangements, good amount of cooking gear. Air conditioning is an absolute plus. Can get a little warm so helps at night to sleep comfortably but okay in morning and early day to have air off and windows open. Spacious. Had 3 adults for most of the visit and each had their own bed. 2 good sized full bathrooms. A 30 second walk to pool and grill which was convenient. Pool area was well maintained as well. A very nice hangout when just “staying in.” A short 10 min drive to Hanalei shops and beach. Has some beach gear but may need to rent some things. However the owners/managers of unit communicated well so we knew where to rent things. If cooking, grocery store is a 4 min drive away. Unit is well maintained and pretty. Their pictures are a true depiction of the unit. Parking space also very close to unit - definite plus when lugging around beach gear!

We loved this rental. The host is fantastic and very responsive. There was an issue with the internet on the 4th of July when we got there and she was back to us in minutes with a scheduled appointment for the internet company. Thats on Independence Day in the US..... The only issues were 1. No AC, which is common to not have AC in HI, but its something to keep in mind. We kind of saw it as a positive as it forced us to acclimate to the weather/humidity. 2. The windows are great and let in tons of air. IF you have the curtains open. But, if you have the curtains open then you dont have any privacy. The windows that open are on the bottom so if there were blinds or curtains that covered the stationary top 2/3 part of the windows then you could have the curtains closed with privacy and air flow. We should have taken a picture to explain it better. There was plenty of bath towels, beach towels, and bedding.Janet also has a variety of items for beach use. She also had a cooler, water filter, and ice cube trays.The unit was very clean! Shoes are not worn inside home in HI and we did not feel any sand or dirt on the floor.

This place stinks many ways. First the deception of the listing photos. Please note that your view is the rear parking lot… not this photoshopped image. Second it really stinks… think moldy basement or locker room. When we called to cancel and get our money back the agent informed us that that smell is the “musty” smell that all their properties have due to the high humidity! Really? Wow! The person we spoke to on the phone was mean, rude, hostile.Other issues include the front door lock does not work… we had to let them know about it twice. Bathroom tiles are cracked. No air conditioning but you hear the neighbors air conditioner!Kitchen… note you will be using a rusted hot plate to cook on. No blender. There was mice poop in the kitchen.Sofa actually stinks so you will be sitting on the bed or stools. The bed is so soft 2 people can’t sleep in w/out sinking.The toilet does flush it floods to the top when the unit next door runs their dishwasher.The unit is dark, dank, absolutely no air circulation.There is mould in this unit that had been just painted over. For your health and to have better Hawaiian vacation stay somewhere else and avoid places run my this agent.Don’t waste your money on this dive.

We had an excellent stay at this condo in Princeville. The unit is located in a really nice community and it is accessible to many beaches, great restaurants, and things to do in Kauai. Mike is extremely communicative and was able to answer any questions I had in a timely manner. We loved our stay and would return for future stays.

Kimberlee has created a true oasis. Before you even enter her property you will encounter a whimsical, tiny garden in the true spirit of Hawaii. Kimberlee loves gardening and most definitely has a “green thumb”. You will find local plants inside the residence that make her apartment inviting, cozy and very comfortable. We stayed with our 14 year old daughter and Kimberlee graciously allowed us to use the upstairs bedroom, which our daughter referred to as her “tree house”. You will find everything you may possibly need for a comfortable stay. The apartment is fully furnished, and the kitchen has everything one may need to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner. Kimberlee even provided beach towels and beach accessories such as beach chairs, umbrella and boogie boards. The place was clean, bright, and wonderful. I ran out of books to read and started reading one of the books I found at the apartment. Kimberlee found out that I did not finish it in time and generously gifted me the book. She also accommodated our late arrival and very late departure by allowing us to stay as long as we needed. Our family truly appreciated that. Kimberlee is an amazing hostess and I would highly recommend her place.

The place was super nice. Lots of little comforts of home, as opposed to hotel or timeshare places. We would definitely come back. Mike was easy to work with and replied very quickly if we had questions.

We came to visit our daughter who lives on Oahu. We all decided to spend a few days in Kauai. This property was terrific! Kimberlee was very communicative. Had a little mix up on arrival, but I really appreciated her responsiveness and quick remedy. The place was very clean, and I have extremely high standards for cleanliness. What I really loved were all of the extras that were provided. Beach towels and chairs, a small cooler, hiking poles, umbrellas, fins and more!!! You can really tell that Kimberlee loves her property and cares for the people who stay there.

We had a really great stay here! The location is excellent and close to nearby amenities, including a grocery store. Our group of 3 loved being in Princeville and having the ability to walk along the beautiful golf course all the way down to the beach or to the local market. The host was very communicative and kind, and the condo had everything we needed and more. The bed was incredibly comfortable! This condo has AC and it was much appreciated. Parking was also close by and very convenient with a dedicated spot. We were supplied with several beach items including chairs, towels, and umbrellas. We were able to relax and enjoy our time! Mahalo!
