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.

We absolutely love this place! We just came in January and can’t wait to go back again. Kimberlee is an incredible host. She is so sweet and he’s very communicative. The condo has everything you need here! It’s so nice to not have to pack all of the beach stuff, umbrellas etc. The unit is very clean with nice decor. We loved being able to sit on the shaded balcony with plants all around. The area is superb! Very quiet and Very classy neighborhood . We love the North Shore. 10 ranking Thank you so much! We will be back as soon as we can to Paradise!!

We were thoroughly pleased that the pictures were actually what we got and more! The condo is very spacious and clean. We were so surprised that we actually had a full kitchen. Janet (the owner) is responsive and communicates well. The neighbors were a little loud but other than that we very much so enjoyed our stay.

Great place to stay for our north shore adventures. Condo was well-appointed with all the little extras that we forgot we needed. The pool was a nice option and refreshing for a dip after our outings. Kimberlee checked in with us and was very welcoming.

Robyn is prompt with communication, excellent location, extremely clean and nicely updated interior plus there's fans in the room. The only issue was the guests staying next door kept slamming the door otherwise it was peaceful and quiet. I would definitely stay here again.

This is such a lovely place. We stayed in this location for the first half of our Kaua’i vacation and we’re so glad we did. The area is beautiful and safe. The home and facilities are clean, beds are comfortable, parking is convenient, and the host provides all you may need to be comfortable, like laundry soap, shampoo and conditioner, beach chairs, cooler with ice packs, and more. While staying here, we especially loved spending our mornings and evenings on the large balcony. This area of Princeville has a lot of homes/condos/rentals, but is in a very quiet location so it was a relaxing way to start and end our days. When it got too hot outside, we just popped inside to the cool AC. We did not have to contact the host while staying in their home because we had all our needs met. We would stay here again if we’re ever blessed enough to come back to Kaua’i.

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
Grace C.
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.
Bethany R.
August 2025

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!
