We were a family of 5 flown in from another country the day we checked in. The property was very spacious, bright and airy. The beds were comfortable and the tropical surrounds were beautiful.
We are used to staying in other self contained accommodation which I have not been allowed to mention! around the world including mainland US but not with VRBO. We were very surprised to find that no shampoo/conditioner or body wash was provided even though it was mentioned that there will be a starter pack and bring your own toiletries? We are on holidays so was definitely not expecting to have to go and buy huge bottles of shampoo etc and worry about the toilet paper running out for the three bathrooms. And there’s no mentioned what was in the starter pack. There were lots of cutlery but not enough wine and drinking glasses or plates so we had to do a lot of hand washing because there wasn't enough dish washing tablets for our one week stay. As it’s prime holiday period we paid a lot of money so was very disappointed to have to go out and buy a lot of things as soon as we arrived. Well now we know what VRBO properties are like so we will reconsider renting with them again.

This unit had ample space for family to spend time together and space for rest or reading quiet time away from each other. The deck is incredibly large. As a repeat visitor to the islands I’d love to pick this unit up and plant one on each location I visit as the deck and floor plan were the best we have seen.

The remodel is really nice and the condo was super clean. There were a few hick ups and I probably would not choose to stay here again. There is no AC which I knew but it would have been nice to have the fans running when we arrived because it was sooooo hot inside therefore no one wanted to go in. The freezer was broken which they told me about the day before our stay so we had no choice. There are no beach chairs but there is a broken umbrella. No master closet to hang clothes in so my suitcase was on the floor in a mess for the time we stayed. The master bath toilet is not bolted to the floor.
The window AC in the master worked well once we turned the fans on but the window AC unit in the other downstairs bedroom did not work. The upstairs loft does not cool off at all and does not have windows. If none of these things would bother you then this is a nice quiet garden condo. Pool is nice also and parking wasn't hard. Overall we had a nice time and just used the place to sleep. Kauai is amazing and we can't wait to go back.

Great updated finishes from recent renovations. Still need to finish off a few items including operable sliding glass doors to deck, electrical and rockling toilets. Grounds and pool are very nice for a mature property. Could use more window treatments to keep unit cool during day. Note that owner does not want guests to use window AC units(which doesn't make sense to me when temperature gets above 80°).

We stayed just after Thanksgiving and love the location on the North side of the island...we typically stay in this area. Communication with Management Company was perfect. Quiet community and Princeville Center restaurants and grocery are walkable. Remodel is impeccable! Lots of seating options and space for family/friends to be together or have some personal space. Upstairs bedroom with adjacent bathroom and seating area is a separate suite in addition to primary bedroom on main level. Primary bedroom needs a place to hang clothing and a ceiling fan. Only 3 of the 6 sliding patio doors locked but we still felt secure since the unit is on the 2nd floor. Stingy with supplies provided (number of toilet paper rolls, dishwasher pods and garbage bags) creates unnecessary stress and tasks for a short 3 day stay. Washing machine is LOUD. Don't think of running it in the evening while trying to have dinner or watch a movie. Parking was easy no matter time of day. With all of that considered, would definitely stay here again!

The location is fantastic. The complex was quiet and close to a shopping center that has everything you need. This was our second stay in Princeville and will be back again for sure. The unit was nice, a few items could use some upgrades but overall for the price I was very pleased. My only issue was with the doors and windows, they need upgraded and not all the exterior doors locked. The area is safe and it’s a second floor unit so I wasn’t real concerned and we had no issues. Some windows did not function properly as well. With that said I would stay here again and would recommend the unit to a family looking for a place with plenty of rooms, including bathroom which were nice an d living space.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was spacious and had everything we needed. The pool area was nice as well.
Love the island, there was lots to do but it did rain a LOT while we were there.
The condo complex was great but the weather was not, unfortunately.

We traveled with three generations: two young kids, two parents, and two grandparents. The large open area was a great gathering spot for everyone to relax in the mornings, during nap time, and in the evenings. The lanai was a great coffee spot each morning with lots of space for our toddlers to explore and play. The single step down in the primary suite, on the lanai and into the den were a little difficult to navigate both by the kids and grandparents. The pool was too cold for the kids this time of year (Feb). The grounds were beautiful and the location was perfect.

The latest renovation is beautiful. You can tell that the interior design work is done by a pro. The wrap-a-round deck is great with a lot of room. There are lots of windows but the inside is quite sheltered from the sun so it doesn't get too hot. There a lot of operable windows as well to get a cross draft. There are air conditioners for the bedrooms on the main floor which is great. The facility grounds are gorgeous.Improvements that could be made:Basic supplies. Pepper and a few coffee pods were the only food supplied in the kitchen (not even salt was provided?). There were dishwasher pods but only enough for 4 days out of our 7 day stay. Just give your renter $5 more in supplies so they don't have to spend their vacation trying to buy basic amenities.The second bedroom light and fan switch/control controlled the fan and light in the first bedroom. I would be nice to have a clothes dresser in the upstairs bedroom.On the whole, a good place to stay in a good location.

We had a great experience renting this condo. Everything was available and in excellent condition. Furnishings were comfortable and it was updated to a high standard. Nice kitchen to prepare meals. Just missing barbecue and didn’t see any communal barbecues on the grounds either. It was an exceptional stay. Thanks.
