This was a great place to visit. We loved the view from the deck and the pool. It also was a great location to stay with available parking. We would stay again in this same unit.

This was our 5th stay in a Puu Poa condo, so we love the location on a bluff overlooking the ocean. We even saw whales the first 3 days! This condo is a little tired compared to others we’ve stayed in. What makes the location special is also very hard on the property, so you have window and door issues from corrosion. Our grandkids loved the pool and Hideaways Beach down the bluff from the condo.
Minor issues were 2 non-working toasters (property managers got us a new one in a couple of days) and a barely functional coffee maker. The real bummer was the non-working clothes dryer which was not fixed until the last day of a 10 day stay. This was a big inconvenience.

Wonderful location and amazing views. VRBO staff incredibly efficient and helpful. This unit does not have AC. This unit is a bit tired and needs a refresh. Fine for a short stay,not equipped for a lengthy vacation.

The ocean view is unbeatable. Likely the best on Kauai's North Coast. The place is large, too. Lots of room to move around.
However, the place doesn't look changed since the 80s and there are a number of deferred maintenance issues: weeds on the lanai, peeling paint, warped floors, rusting bathroom fixtures, etc. We realize that many adjacent condos go for much more pet night (some over 2x), but a little TLC wouldn't cost too much and would go a long way to make the unit considerably more comfortable.

We loved our stay at Puu Poa 405. The location is unbeatable. So close to amazing beaches and conveniently located to easily get out and explore other parts of the island. The condo was super comfortable. Kitchen had everything you could need for cooking. Plenty of towels and beach and snorkel equipment. We had a couple issues with some things being broken/not working but the management company was really responsive and they sent a handy man to address the issues.

We enjoyed staying here so much. The ocean view was amazing! And the condo was clean and spacious with a large kitchen, which was very nice. There's a long daybed in front of the windows in the den where I took a nap everyday, while enjoying the ocean breeze. There are TWO beach paths, only a 3 minute walk away that take you to beautiful gorgeous beaches. My wife and I loved it here and would highly recommend this condo if you are visiting the Princeville/Hanalei area.

Property was clean and spacious. Views were great! Construction noise from the resort next door each morning but we were already awake.

Condo was clean, spacious, stocked well with basic amenities, and one incredible view. Walking distance to Hideaway Beach (one of our favorites), Queens Bath, and Puu Poa Beach. Local pizza and salad joint also a short walk, and pizza was great. Would most definitely stay here again.

This was a much anticipated trip to celebrate retirement. We were looking for views, sounds of the ocean and a peaceful stay. The view did not disappoint and the pool area and grounds were nicely maintained. The kitchen was reasonably well-appointed.
Pros:
Location and views are outstanding. The unit is on the top floor and there are glimpses of Bali Hai from the balcony. The complex was quiet at night. Noise level from construction was high during the day, however.
Amenities were mostly sufficient, although we had to purchase hand soap and tissue. It would also have been nice to have access to a few cleaning products in order to keep things tidy.
Cons:
-Antiquated lockbox - difficult to use.
-Check-in was 3:00 and when I arrived at 4:30, the cleaning crew had just arrived. I was told to return after 5:30. After a 6+ hour flight with groceries to unload, this was very inconvenient. The Property Mgr. has responded to this complaint.
-General Maintenance: Windowsills and patio furniture were not cleaned. One of the overhead fans was broken, as was a window onto the balcony and the lock on the sliding glass door.
-Construction: Noisy during the day, starting quite early.
-Important: While the St. Regis Hotel is referenced several times (beach access/amenities) it is actually a large demolition site. There are no services available and beach ingress/egress is risky. The Westin does have a restaurant, but it is 1.5 miles away near the entrance of Princeville.

We enjoyed our time here! Beautiful home, view, and area! The constant sounds of the ocean waves are missed by us all. We did find a couple items from past guests in the master bedroom that would've been spotted during normal cleaning, so maybe some improvement could be made there, but nonetheless a great stay.

We stayed at Puu Poa a few years ago and were so excited to return. This condo was even better than the last, being on the top floor with such a fantastic view of the ocean! The unit is beautifully furnished and has a large kitchen equipped with everything we needed! When we return to the north shore we will definitely check on availability here.

There were 6 adults in our group and we had a wonderful time in our unit! It was spacious and met all of our needs. The unit was clean, the beds were comfortable and the balcony was great for watching the whales. I have no complaints and would stay there again for sure!

We absolutely loved our time at this rental. Princeville is such a beautiful area (although, very wet). We loved being able to take long walks, snorkel, read at any one of the nearby beaches, etc. Our family of 6 adults was very comfortable since the condo is extremely spacious. We also loved being so near Hanalei. The owners had lists of day trips and lots of activities. We would definitely return!

We really enjoyed our stay at this location. Plenty of room for us and the unit was very clean upon arrival. A few things need to addressed however. The lanai furniture is past its usefulness. Both chase lounges had torn/rotting fabric. The bistro table has been repaired before and needs to be done again or placed. The tile flooring of the lanai is losing its grout in most of the floor. In the sun room the above shades have quite a bit mold and needs cleaning or replacing. These items are easy fixes for such a wonderful condo.

Great views, loved the proximity to Hideaways Beach. Comfortable and quiet. Coffee pot didn't work, the backup didn't have a carafe so we frankensteined one with parts from each. Gas grill has too many burners out to properly cook anything and doesn't get nearly hot enough.

Our family of five had a wonderful stay at Puu Poa 405. Views of the ocean and Makana Peak and best of all- access to Hideaways Beach. It did get a little warm during the day, but we were mostly out exploring the island and it was very comfortable by 5pm and to sleep. The master bedroom king was very cozy. Kitchen stocked with all we needed. Thank you for sharing your home.

We absolutely loved this condo. The location was iconic "Hawaii". So pretty. The view from the private deck was stunning! The condo itself was very clean, and well appointed. Just about everything you could think of was provided, the drawers, cupboards, closet shelves, etc. were all labeled so things were easy to find. Definitely one of the best places we have stayed in. And the management staff were very helpful, friendly, and professional. Our calls and questions were promptly answered and handled. Would highly recommend, we are already planning our next trip here!
