This condo has a leaking roof which dripped onto our bed. A plumber had to be called in to fix a plugged bathroom sink; Needs painting in numerous locations; Dining area and bath light fixture filled with dead bugs; light bulbs not working above stove, dining & main bath. Main closet missing door; loft closet door broken; bedroom door has holes & frayed edges; several louvred windows have broken mechanisms; Living room rug and dining chairs have numerous stains - TV works ok if you can figure out mysteries of remote control; dining table place mats had food stains so had to scrubbed clean; Bedroom ceiling fan has very noisy clicking sound; Condo welcome binder years out of date, realtor help contact numbers out of service; A couple of resident gecko lizards; Missing towels rack upstairs brackets left in wall; Mould on curtains. Condo superficially clean when we arrived, dust under furniture and grey film on glass table.. Condo is roomy and well lit, with large windows. Nice furniture in bedrooms and living room. Grounds of the complex well maintained. Property manager and rental agent both very responsive. Appliances worked well; kitchen dishes, utensils and accessories adequate. Overall, our stay could have been a lot more enjoyable in a better maintained property.

Very quiet, convenient to golf and beach, and the Hideaways Pizza Pub on property was a very pleasant surprise. We would definitely vacation here again.

This a beautiful property, but we would not rent this perticular unit again. This unit had a very musty/moldy smell. We found moldy snorkeling and beach equipment in the closet. Many screens are broken/have holes and are falling off. Walls have stains. Two screens were taped to the wall. I asked management to re-place a moldy shower curtain in the master, and they did this very quickly. But this unit is in need of much repair beyond what management could have done during our stay. Management responded quickly to any request. This was appreciated, and we will book again at this property in a different unit because of this. We loved the grounds and the private path to beach!

There were many wonderful things about this unit and a few downers. The location was perfect, it was really important to us that we could walk to the beach and be close to the ocean. The size was great for our family and we really appreciated the two twin beds for our children to sleep. The kitchen was modern and spacious and the unit overall had good natural light and ventilation with mountain views.Unfortunately, I think this unit would really shine with a bit more maintenance, specifically in the amount of animals/bugs that came into the unit. There are gecko dropping throughout the unit (and I had the bad luck they fell onto my pillow during our stay), we had several cockroaches coming in every evening, and my son about had a heart attack when discovering a bird-size moth(!) We didn't leave doors open, I can only assume they came into the window screens as many of them were loose.We've stayed in condos in Hawaii in a variety of places but never had these kind of pest issues before - frankly it's the only place I've ever stayed with persistent cockroaches (which carry disease). I contacted management and they were kind but only offered a treatment the day before our departure which seemed unnecessary at that point.

We stayed in Pali Ke Kua for 9 days this June. The property was as listed but surprised us in comfort and amenities. The beds and pillows were great, with each of us having plenty of space. We had everything we needed to make food, relax, and rest. The location is phenomenal with a short walk to the cliff for sunset viewing but private with a view of the breathtaking mountains and waterfalls. The area is gorgeous for a morning or evening stroll and is a short walk from pizza and cocktails or the secret beach entrance. The property was well maintained and clean with excellent starter shampoo, conditioner, dish soap, etc. We received a few emails of correspondence during our stay to inform us of an emergency water shut down and bridge repair details. The communication was excellent prior to, during, and after our stay. We spend days exploring the property, and traveled to Hanalei, Poipu, Lihue, and Anini. Princeville provides all you need with a great grocery store, take-out, ice cream, and a farmer's market. We would, without hesitation, recommend this property to friends and family!

My family had a wonderful HI vacation in this beautiful rental. Centrally located, quiet, beautiful view, nice pool and hot tub, clean with all amenities provided. I highly recommend this vacation rental for a great stay on the north shore of Kauai.

Pali Ke Kua Bldg 12-#10 Evaluation
Great location and neighborhood.
Not accurately described on VRBO website: really a tri-level one-bedroom, two bath unit with a small sleeping loft which is equipped with a low-quality trundle bed.
Master bedroom had a musty mold smell which could not be cleared with ventilation.
Sliding glass doors did not have a latch and were blocked closed with wooden dowels.
Poorly maintained: one blind lacked control wand and had broken valance, another was very difficult to raise and lower. Several window screens were not attached to windows and did not form a seal. One toilet seat was not firmly anchored to the toilet.
Electric BBQ was inoperable. When plugged in to dedicated electrical outlet and turned on it immediately tripped the ground-fault interrupter. Repeated efforts failed. When Ocean Front Realty was contacted “Johnathan” was unable to resolve issue by arranging repair/replacement.
Poorly stocked with minimal starting supplies, e.g. bathrooms were outfitted with a pocket packet of Kleenex tissue, a small tube of body rinse, and a small bar of motel soap. Thank goodness there were 3 rolls of toilet tissue in each bathroom!
The kitchen was also sparsely stocked.
Entire unit is not well appointed.
This facility falls well below the standard we have experienced and expect from VRBO rentals, and is a blemish on your reputation.

Reviewer Comments:
This property and the company that manages it for the owner (Ocean FrontVacation Rentals) have good sales skills butVery poor care in term of ensuring that the unit is properly checked ahead of check in. Although they attempted to address some issues-that would have meant intruding on our 2 week vacation. I contacted owner of the agencywho ignored my multiple phone and email messages until after Iresorted to posting a review on yelp. Please. Insider other properties snd vacation management companies to avoid disappointment.

Stay was great with a fully stocked Condo. Perhaps it was described and I missed it, but the 2nd bedroom should be listed as a loft with a twin /trundle bed. Otherwise everything was just as described. Mahalo

We loved our stay here. We stayed for 5 nights. The place was clean and had everything we needed. Beach chairs,umbrella and snorkels and boogie boards. The location was beautiful and we loved the patio. Parking was easy and the customer service was excellent. Our tv wasnt working the first evening when we arrived but they replaced it the next morning. Would definitely stay again and would recommend!
