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.

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.

The condo is simply amazing. The view and the sound of the pounding surf are hypnotic. Lucy lives nearby and she is very warm and engaging. This is a Princeville gem. We will return next year. Lary

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!!!!

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.

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. It's walking distance to restaurants and two beautiful beaches - Hideaways Beach and Puu Poa Beach. The hosts are amazing. I highly recommend and plan to return!

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!!

We really enjoyed our trip to Princeville. The views from this condo are amazing. And the location can not be beat. There are a few restaurants that you can walk to and many more that are a short drive. The condo is well equiped and was very comfortable for our family.

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.

The condo was perfect for our family of 4. It was clean, comfortable and stocked with everything we needed-from beach gear to cookware to cleaning supplies. It was warm during our visit but the a/c worked great! The location in Princeville provided easy access to both Puu Poa beach and Hideaway beach without the need to drive or find parking. The pool was quiet and never busy. The lanai is perfectly positioned to view every gorgeous sunset. Mahalo for sharing your condo with us for the week.

Beautiful ocean and Mountain View’s. We woke up with coffee on the lanai, listening to the ocean waves and birds chirping. The evening always ending in epic sunsets. It changed by the minute as the sun was setting. Spacious rooms and kitchen. Comfortable beds and couch. The extra rotary fan was a bonus to help with the airflow. Thank you for a wonderful, relaxing stay.

There is something to be said for waking up to a cliffside oceanfront view, having coffee and breakfast on a private terrace, with the conveniences of home! Property was well appointed and provides access to one of the best snorkel spots on the island! Many thanks for an amazing stay!

We loved our stay in in this beautiful condo. Everything was as advertised and the views from the patio were even better in person.

The condo is amazing! The views are fantastic, we enjoyed watching the sunsets as well as the surfers and boats cruising by during the day from the deck. The condo is incredibly spacious and was a comfortable place for our family to hang out. The kitchen was well equipped and washer/dryer was a big plus. We didn’t end up using them but there were beach chairs, snorkeling sets, boogie boards, beach toys, towels, and a cooler. The condo location is also great, walking distance to Hideaways Beach and Puu Poa Beach. The host also checked in with us to make sure check-in went smoothly and we had everything we needed. Overall it was a fantastic stay.

The communication, responsiveness and hospitality of the property owner was excellent! Lucy checked to see if we needed anything after we arrived and made herself available to us throughout our stay! The property provided just about any and everything you could anticipate needing. This combined with the view of the ocean was second to none! We absolutely Loved this place!

Fantastic condo in Princeville with jaw dropping views! We had a wonderful stay, cooked delicious meals in the well equipped kitchen and enjoyed them on the spacious outside deck overlooking the sea. Beds were super comfy and A/C was a bonus. Couldn’t have asked for a better place. Great communication with owner. Plus, snorkeling at Hideaway’s was the icing on the cake with the trail right outside the complex. Mahalo!

Our group had a wonderful stay in this condo on the north shore. The unit was overall well equipped and made our stay easy. Parking is right out front and we never had an issue getting a spot by our entrance. The building is quiet and we never noticed noise from any of the other units (besides some daytime construction on a unit down the way, nothing intrusive). Bed in the master was very comfortable and we enjoyed the large dressers on either side to unpack into. The AC was nice to have when we wanted it. Most of the time we had the doors open to hear the ocean but two of our days it was muggy. It was nice to be able to cool down the unit for sleeping at night. The unit was clean when we checked in and the carpet looked recently replaced. Hideaway beach below is challenge to get down to (if your trying to carry gear particularly) so we spent more time at Puu Poa down below the hotel. The newly refreshed swimming pool was very nice and we enjoyed swimming there. We would have no problem booking this unit again for another stay in this area. The host live nearby which is a nice peace of mind.

This is a beautiful property and we enjoyed our time there. The host is VERY easy to get a hold of and helped make our stay great! The views are beautiful and the condo had everything to you would need! It had boogie boards, dryer sheets, beach towels, sandwich bags, very comfortable beds and anything else you could think of :)

This was our second stay at Pu'u Poa. It is a fantastic location with a spectacular view! And Lucy & Doug are wonderful hosts. They responded to our every need/request with kindness and good humor. The condo comes with comfortable beds, leisure/recreational equipment, and tasteful furnishing. What a pleasure!

We were very pleased with our Vrbo Condo. The place was exactly as advertised and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. We also got to meet our host, Lucy in person who was lovely and attentive to all of our needs.



January 2023
Lucy and Doug were kind, attentive and very responsive hosts. The apartment was clean, beautiful, well equipped. We spent two fantastic weeks in this location and it was the best. We highly recommend this apartment and Lucy and Doug as hosts. Thank you again for having us.

I hate writing a great review because that means it will be harder to rent in the future. As much as I’d like to have something negative to say, I just don’t. We have stayed at Puu Poa many times and in many different units. We’ll come back to this one (assuming it is available!). The ONLY things we thought could be improved on was adding a few boxes of Kleenex and sharpening the knives, but those are so minor they aren’t really even worth mentioning. The hosts, Lucy and Doug, are very helpful & conscientious - they even live nearby and can help if you have any issues. The views are spectacular. The carpet is new. The bed and furniture is comfortable. The location is awesome.

This condo has incredible views and the location is absolutely perfect for Princeville. We have never seen a more amazing sunset in our lives right from the balcony. The condo is clean and has everything you need including beach chairs, boogie boards and beach towels. The kitchen has everything you need and there is a grill to cook dinner at home if you like. We just had a little difficulty getting in when we arrived because it was dark and the outdoor light wasn't that bright. But that wasn't a big deal overall. Personally, I would love to update the condo's decor and bedspreads but it probably wouldn't bother most people. I'm just picky that way and, ultimately, this condo is great. AND, our host was so kind to let us have a late checkout on the day we were to leave because our plane left in the early evening and we would have had no where to go. We REALLY appreciated their help on that! Book it if you can!

The two beaches within walking distance provided some great snorkeling. The views from the Lanai and nearby Alexander Point were spectacular. The hikes within a quick drives distance were unforgettable. We only used the kitchen for breakfasts and it had all the supplies we could need. The 3 ACs kept us comfortable in the evenings. Only notable downside was the queen size bed: not a very comfortable standard metal spring mattress. Lucy is very friendly and a great host. She gave me a heads up a week + in advance of some construction going on around the condo complex that would be noisy during the last couple days of our stay. We decided it wouldn’t be a bother for us to stay anyway and we’re glad we did. When the construction started she reached out again to make sure there was indeed no bother. I definitely recommend staying here. Group: 4 Adults (25-38) Stay Duration: 7 Days

We had a great time at this condo, which has a lovely view of the start of the Napali coast. There are several beaches nearby, but you must go down the cliff. Access to the closest beach, HIdeaways, is down a very steep dirt path, and hard to bring chairs, cooler, etc. However, you can get to Puu Poa beach, a nice sandy beach, via paved stairs next to the former St. Regis Princeville Resort (currently being remodeled). Since that large resort is closed, Puu Poa beach was not crowded. The condo is spacious and the kitchen well appointed. Beach chairs, snorkel gear, and other beach items were provided. The condo faces west and the sun is intense in the late afternoon, but that also makes for beautiful sunsets, which we enjoyed each evening. The living room can heat up, as indicated in some reviews, but we found that the standing fan provided alleviated this problem. Owner was communicative and helpful.

Views are amazing and Pua Poa is in a great location with easy access to Queens Bath, Hanalei and great beaches. The unit itself is well stocked but is dated and needs some maintenance.

We had a great time staying @ this fantastic location.. the views are wonderful, you can walk down a trail to an awesome hidden beach, close to Hanalei Bay, Tunnels beach and Napali coast. The kitchen was very well equipped to cook fresh fish and sit outside.. great time..

This condo is completely up to date and had every convenience we needed to make it comfortable. The view is so beautiful that we didn’t feel pressure to leave much—everything we came to kauai for was available right where we were staying.

The condo is spacious and relaxing for up to six adults. Two bedrooms, plus a sectional sofa which easily converts into a surprisingly comfortable Queen bed. The well-equipped kitchen and washer/dryer in the second bathroom were great. Ocean and sunset views from the two patios are spectacular. The condo is equipped with beach chairs & towels, snorkeling gear, kids beach toys, and boogie boards. The location is convenient and short drives to many beaches and hiking areas. The condo complex is well maintained. We were there Easter week and the complex was full, but it was very quiet. Previous reviews mention the condo could use some upgrades, which is true, but it was very clean, comfortable, and offered everything needed to enjoy a relaxing vacation in paradise.

We really enjoyed our time at this condo in Princeville. The view is amazing and the condo is large and well stocked with things you need for cooking meals on your vacation. The only thing I would change is the carpet in the unit. In a tropical location, carpet can often smell musty and I felt that way in the unit. Luckily we had great weather and could keep doors open when we were home. Other than that this is a beautiful space!

This property was a wonderful home base for our Kauai trip. The condo was clean and well appointed with everything we needed. And the lanai - wow! Morning coffee, evening cocktails, whale sightings and rainbows. The pool for the complex is very nice. Several stunning beaches are within walking distance or a short, 2-4mi drive. We found excellent nearby fresh seafood for preparing at the condo, carry out, or comfortable dining in Princeville, Hanalei, and Kilauea. Lucy, the property manager, was attentive and accommodating during our stay, and responded immediately when contacted. We had a great experience, and hope to return.

When we travel to tropical areas, our priority is to stay somewhere with a great view of the beach/ocean. Here, you have that view sitting on the living room sofa. We were able to see whales spouting, and surfers catching waves, right from the room. Honestly, we didn't wind up using most of the amenities, like the cooking places, or the pool, or even the second bedroom, but we didn't feel we needed to; this unit gave us exactly what we were looking for without those extras.

We really enjoyed our stay, pictures of listing accurately depict a great layout and location overlooking the ocean. Not a completely remodeled unit but kept very clean and very functional for our stay. Air conditioning kept us comfortable when we weren’t enjoying the great patio space.

Our first time to Kauai and had a great time, love the northern part of the island, this place has a beautiful view and perfect morning rainbows, everything you need is here, spacious unit and would stay here again. Owner was helpful when Covid was rearing it’s ugly head and we were trying to navigate a possible closure to travelers but all went smoothly. You’ll want a car to thoroughly enjoy this island.

Online it was difficult to tell which pictures were the accurate ones. It was a beautiful place and the furniture was beautiful and comfortable. The fan in the bathroom wasn't working, but for just me, it was okay. I especially loved that the unit had air conditioning, although I rarely needed it in the bedroom. I would just turn it on for an hour after getting in. Just hated that I had to leave. The views from the balconies were amazing. My family rented two other units in the same complex, that were also beautiful, one with air, and the other without for a lot less money. That said, I still was extremely happy with this unit. Having my daughters and their family's with 5 little ones under 4, swimming at Hanalei was perfect for the whole family. Anini beach was also fun for everyone. The North Side Grill, Kalypso's and Hawaiian bbq in Hanalei was all excellent!

We go to Hawaii every year, and this condo made our vacation special. The condo is stylishly luxurious, has breathtaking views, super clean with modern appliances. The pictures are accurate but don't do justice to capture the complete awesomeness. We stayed here for eight nights, didn't find anything that bothered us, and had a memorable trip. The condo complex is well maintained and clean. There are multiple trails for morning/evening walks that run along the long golf course, or you can go to one of the beaches a few steps away from the condo. We observed many people coming to the neighborhood to watch the sunset, which we were lucky to watch from our private lanai. We enjoyed hearing the soothing sound of ocean waves from the living room and the master bedroom. Doug/Lucy are fantastic hosts, always available to answer questions, and very friendly. We recommend this property without any reservations.

I was so pleased with the location of this rental. We had quick access to everything we wanted to do on the North Shore! The access to Hideaways Beach is nearly priceless. The view is fantastic. The way the units are designed made it so that we never even encountered the other renters! It felt like it was our own resort! The kitchen was so well stocked that we really enjoyed coming home from our activities and cooking big, fun, family dinners. We had a fantastic time.


Jennifer P.
August 2021
We loved the large kitchen where we could prepare meals and eat them at the dining room table and still enjoy the view! The pool was clean and a nice treat at the end of the day. And most of all was our morning walks. We walked down to the beach, and also walked to the golf course. We enjoyed playing there as well. We were close enough to drive to Hanalei and then down south for a day trip. When we come back to Kauai, we will definitely stay here again! Thank you so much for your hospitality and quick responses when we had a question the first day! Mahalo!

Great views. Perfect location to walk straight down to hideaway bay. Arguably the best snorkeling on the island. Would see 5+ turtles every day. Also easy walking to queen’s bath. Wish road to Hanalei was open all the time but such is life. Anywhere else would be a pain to park or drive to the beach but here is just perfect.


Sarah B.
August 2021
We loved our trip to Kauai and this was a great place to stay! We had room to spread out, a great ocean view, and walking distance to queens bath and hideaway beach! The road closure to Hanalei was a bummer but should end soon. We would recommend staying here! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

We stayed here for 3 nights in late June 2021 and it was lovely. The views, the pool, the whole place was very comfortable and nicely decorated. The only downside was the front room got quite warm, even with the air conditioning on in the house. But otherwise, we enjoyed our stay very much and would come back!


Ellen P.
July 2021
This spacious condo with gorgeous views of the ocean and coastline were perfect for our stay. Having Hideaway Beach just steps from us was amazing- the snorkeling was unbelievable. Also lovely to have Queens Bath so close. The condo was very clean and extremely well stocked- there wasn’t anything we needed but could not find. We were grateful to be able to stay in this home during our time in Kaua’i!

What a great place! We absolutely loved the views from not just one but two balconies! There was also plenty of room for our family of five. The modular couch for our fifth person was very comfortable to sleep on. We were very pleased to have beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards and snorkel gear. There are two beaches within walking distance - one of them is a little dangerous to get to but is worth it for the great snorkeling in the morning. Overall we had a great time and loved the condo. Thank you!

If you like sunsets into the ocean (directly off your patio), a very short walk to a fabulous beach with awesome snorkeling, and air conditioning to sleep well; this is the place for you.
