THE GOOD: Location was lovely, appreciated access to the pool, nice to have the availability of things like beach chairs & other equipment, loved spending mornings on the lanai watching the birds, & enjoyed having a bathroom for each bedroom.
THE NOT SO GOOD: Overall this property was a big disappointment when it came to the cleanliness & 2 interactions with the host. We experienced 2 large (4 inches long) cockroaches in the house during our 3 day stay and a gecko in the bedroom. The drapes were stained/dirty, the curtain rods were not adequately attached to the walls & came apart, the fan/light fixtures were extremely dirty with bugs in them, surfaces like light switches & door handle areas were dirty, the carpets were quite dirty/stained, there were stains on the bed sheets, & the cushions on the outdoor chairs were quite filthy and stained. In addition, there was no BBQ as was in the picture and I would consider the A/C as only partial given that there were no vents in 2 bedrooms & the vent that there was in the living area was dripping water from the ceiling onto a placemat on the dining room table. We also found a partial fake eyelash attached to the kitchen scissors.
As for communication with the host , there was no apology at all for the condition of the place. She simply referred to the contract & said we should have said something while were there & nothing could be done such as a refund of the large cleaning fee. Disappointing stay to say the least.

Everything was great, especially the air conditioning and the fact that some condiments were ready in the fridge when we arrived. Thank you for a great stay!

The apartment is very comfortable, in a nice quiet area. Liz was super easy to deal with. Loved that the apartment had a generous ‘starter kit’ with cleaning products, soaps, toilet paper etc. We LOVED access to the beach gear (umbrellas, beach chairs and snorkel).

This is a great place to stay on the north shore. Plenty of room for family to spread out. We had everything we needed and it was easy to check in. Appreciate the beach toys and the nice towels.

The unit was spacious. We were allowed 40-minute early access. The unit was spacious and the beds very comfortable. The beach and pool equipment was as pictured.All of this said, there were some disappointing notes. The cleaning fee for this unit is $300. It should be refunded as this unit was far from clean and pristine. Unfortunately, the furniture was dirty, some worn and holes in the corner, as in the kitchen chairs. The patio furniture was so rusty on the bottom that it left rust and metal chunks on the patio floor when moved and sat in the chairs. The swivel chair cushions were filthy. The living room carpet needs to be cleaned or replaced, the bathroom shower glass in the master was full of hardwater and soap scum. Patio screen doors come off track. The screen had recently been replaced, but the excess screen was just left untrimmed around the door. The glass stove top needs to be cleaned and scrubbed, the tea kettle on top of it was filthy. We put it in a cabinet so we didn't have to look at it. The silverware drawers and shelf lining needs to be replaced. Baseboards had not been wiped and the white walls have handprints by light switches and on the walls by the entryways. The list could go on. Windows and blinds were filthy or unworking. We notified the on-island contact that there was only one key, which was the one form the lock box. For a 6-person condo there should have been a back-up key or second key. We notified her of only one key. She said the cleaning lady must have taken it and would have her return it. It never happened. Initial info at booking said the garage was available, but it was not. The owners car was in the garage. It would not have been a problem, except for the buildings were getting roofs replaced in the complex and the construction workers had supplies stacked in many of the parking places. We sent a communication at checkout, but never got a response.

This was our second time staying at this condo. It’s a very comfortable landing pad after a day at the beach.

This is a very comfortable, well equipped second-floor unit in an excellent location. With more than 30 visits to Kauai, we have stayed in numerous North Shore vacation rentals -- and this was our first with air conditioning (partial).
The TV in the master bedroom may need replacement as the volume varies between very low and blaring (without operation of the volume control), However, the living room TV works great!

First it wasn't clean and we had to buy cleaning supplies. Second the frig wasn't keeping things cold and the freezer didn't work so we lost the food we bought. We were told to use the frig in the garage but it didn't work. I have been coming to Kauai every year for 20 years and this is the first time I have ever had to deal with anything like this . Very disapointed .

Plantations at Princeville 1321 is an ideal location to explore north coast of Kauai. Located in the heart of Princeville this condo is within walking distance from many spectacular spots (Queens Bath, Hideway Beach) and short driving distance from Hanalei or Tunnels or Napali Coast State Park. Place is spacious and well equipped. Definitely worth staying in.

Overall it was a very nice stay.
Cons: We had difficulty finding the condo. 1. Google maps shows a different unit. 2. The lockbox was NOT located near the second floor door so it did not appear to be a rental. The lockbox location was on the side of the stairway on the ground level. This would have been simple if this information was included in the check in instructions. As it was it cost us valuable time trying to figure it out. Once we got ahold of the management agent it was quickly resolved.
The inside was mostly clean except for the master sinks and tub. The TV was left on and the windows and sliders were open with A/C running. Very odd considering the high cost of power in Kauai. The master tub/shower was difficult to get in and out of as it is very deep. and there was mold growing around the tub window.
The cooking utensils and pots and pans were minimal, older, and well worn but worked okay.
Pros: The location was great and close to shops, food, beach and Hanalei. Overall the condo was a bit older but cute and cozy. The master bed was comfortable and the furniture was nice. The patio was wonderful and the area was quiet and beautiful. I noticed far less rooster crowing than in Poipu. The beach chairs, etc. we’re a nice bonus. Parking, garbage and pool were close by.

It's our 3rd time renting in Princeville. The condo complex is central and well-maintained. Pool is a bit small, however, and not heated. The condo was clean and well-stocked with towels and bedding. Terrible water pressure and all showers need new shower heads. The fans were a bit wobbly and noisy, but functional. Air-conditioning only in the common area and master bedroom. Kitchen was pretty well stocked, missing baking sheets. Nice extras, tho, like a coffee grinder and scissors. Knives needed sharpening. Liz, our island concierge, was timely and helpful. Would consider staying at the Plantations again but would prefer a better positioned unit, maybe one near the pool or on the outer ring. While our lanai was good-sized, it overlooked a small grassy area and other units. But the complex location was ideal; close enough to a few beaches (Sealodge, Hideaways, Anini, Queens' Bath) and 20-minute walk to the shopping area. Overall we had a great time on Kauai!

What a treat to stay in Princeville right off the golf course and within a short walk to the beautiful cliff ocean overlook.
The condo was spacious and comfy. The lanai was a lovely place to relax and the pool and hot tub was an added bonus.
We definitely will be back here the next time we’re in Kauai!

Great location and great unit. AC unit is only in master and main room, but if you left all the doors open it was bearable. Tons of beach towels and regular towels. Highly recommend this place.

We absolutely loved our stay at the vacation rental. We are close to the beaches we wanted to go to, the grocery store is near by. They provided beach towels and the unit was very clean and spacious. The only negative I can think of is the AC doesn’t reach the guest rooms as well as the rest of the house and those rooms were pretty hot. Overall I would give it a 9 out of 10.
