The place needs a major update and need to replace cooking pans, but other than that, location and the views are unbeatable.

The property is in a great location with amazing views. The property does need some upkeep. It should be noted that this unit does not have A/C.

Some mold under the door frame corners, screens need to get updated, and some lanai tiles need some attention, but overall the place was clean. We would definitely stay there again and honestly would love to buy the place if it was possible. Pool and House keys need to have a more distinguishable keychain as I locked us out one night by putting the pool key in the lock box and not the house key by accident because it was dark and I grabbed the key chain and ran out because we were running tight on a reservation. Luckily the management company emergency line worked and the agent drove out to let us in at ~10pm. I want to give a shout out to her and thank her for making that drive so late, wish would could do more for her in terms of compensation. I took some amazing photos, Timelapse's, and night lapses that I think the owners would appreciate so if there is a way to contact them to share that would be cool. I think these time lapses are something they've never seen from their property before. The front row view to some of the best waves on the island was awesome to watch the surfers every morning and evening. Overall, great stay we want to live there!

Loved the location layout and views. Really wonderful spot.
Could upgrade the mattresses and replace the second one with a king.

The HOA required us to move from our originally contracted unit at Puu Poa to this unit, #312. Overall, the Puu Poa complex is amazing and we will visit here again. Unfortunately, unit #312 was a major disappointment in terms of a weekly rental for a family of four. The unit is much different than what is shown in the marketing photos, and it's not for the better. The unit is old, dirty, and each lanai has broken tiles, dirt, a dying plant, and mildew. Plus, there is zero furniture on the first lanai, yet the photos show a nice dining set, etc. The beds are hard and have thin mattresses and the living area furniture is basic and tired. For the money, the consumer deserves better - or at least what the marketing photos depict.This unit is an example of a "remote owner" who doesn't put money into a property. Digging into the property tax records, the only permit pulled for renovations was back in 1/14/2002...twenty years ago. Stay at Puu Poa, but avoid unit 312.I compliment our broker, Oceanfront Realty, for finding us a last minute unit once the HOA closed our original unit. Also, our broker helped us with some of the issues in unit #312 as the condo's condition was out of their control. I highly recommend using Oceanfront Realty to assist your Kauai travel needs.

Overall the vacation was wonderful. Property management took care of our safety and moved us to an alternate room as the window of the other property had blown out. The new room had even better views. Only complaint would be the master bedroom bed. It was cheap and terribly uncomfortable. I would replace it, the bedding and nightstands as they were substandard.

Nice roomy condo for four adults. No complaints about furnishings etc. Great view straight west to Bali Haii from living room and lanai, and an equally amazing view north from the big windows in the dining room and kitchen. Best place ever to work at the kitchen sink—looking over the coral and surf. Excellent view of the surfers, just below. If you can manage, take the steep trail right next to the condo complex to Hideaways Beach. It’s a fabulous spot to swim, snorkel, and enjoy a unique place. We enjoyed the pool daily. It is a great spot to be in mid to late afternoon when the pm sun warms up the condo. The pool is recently and beautifully redone with ample chairs and umbrellas all around. We did encounter some maintenance issues in the condo, which were at least partially due to the fact that we were the first guests in 6+ months (Covid). FYI, and this is no fault of condo owner or mgr, our T-Mobile iPhones did not have reception inside. We barely got a connection in the parking lot. Since the internet was out for our 4 day stay, we had a real off-the-grid experience.

The unit was worn and in need of some upkeep. Walls grimy, windows and doors dirty and furniture very worn out. Screens fallin off the tracks etc.
Very disappointed. Indoor furniture shabbby. Outdoor Furniture was missing on the patio. Description was not accurate. Has not been recently remodeled.
The location of the unit is amazing. That’s the best part…sadly I will not be returning.

Views from everywhere were great. Living room furniture was not as nice or as comfortable as shown in photos. Also Chairs on Lanai were older and hard to use on the primary one. The ones off the master Lanai were a lot nicer. Fans ran but didn't give the air flow required for such a large space. Almost like they could not run on high. Beach extras in outside closet were excellent and very nice. Maybe a smaller cooler would be nice. Having some more supplies (sandwich bags, foil and such) would be a plus especially at the price point of this condo. All the doors/screens & windows were hard to move and open. I know salt air will impact these overtime but proper up kept would allow them to be maintained longer. Had to call for maintenance twice for small things but they were super response and took care of them quickly.

The view is incredible from the two lanai’s but the interior leaves something to be desired. The interior is dated and there are definitely some cleanliness issues, specifically in and around the windows (i.e., window sills, ill fitting screens, bugs, etc…). However, unit is well stocked with all the needed kitchen materials/appliances/utensils which is nice for if you like to cook at home. Additionally, the property manager is very responsive and diligent at addressing any questions or concerns you may have. All in all, would recommend but could be improved.

I have nothing but fantastic things to say about this place:
1. The views are spectacular - the wrap-around ocean views made us feel like we are in the actual ocean.
2. The sunsets from the two balconies are majestic - we are right by a sunset lookout point.
3. The condo itself had everything we needed, in addition to being super clean - we couldn’t have been more comfortable in our home away from home.
4. The property managers were such gracious hosts - they were always so kind and prompt with their helpful responses. They went out of their way to make us feel welcomed.
5. The location was as they say here “right on” - the hideaway beach is steps away and offers great snorkel. I recommend wearing sneakers when hiking down to it instead of flipflops as it can be a little slippery.
Needless to say we were sad to leave and will be back. The condo was more beautiful than in my dreams.

We loved the great ocean and Na Pali coast views and the ocean breezes that flowed through the unit on the warm days.
