Great property! Well stocked kitchen, tons of amenities, and we appreciated the goodies on arrival. Beds were super comfortable. The lanai offered a beautiful view. We were able to walk to get ice cream and dinner. The pool was also great for quick dips in the afternoon. We would definitely try to stay here again!

My wife and i came to this island 38 years ago for our honeymoon. My oldest son and daughter in-law are expecting a child this summer so we are temporarily relocating from the main land to Oahu to hear out. I suggested that we revisit.Our stay here was perffect.

We had an amazing time in Princeville with our family of 4. Enjoyed the awesome views and huge green area behind the place with our daughters. Made some meals in the fully stocked kitchen and also took advantage of the laundry option. Everything was perfect!

Wow! This was the ultimate place for us! You can see the ocean, the golf course and the mountains all while sitting on the lanai. They had absolutely everything we needed and more (may I mention the fans and dehumidifier? Perfect!). It is white and bright and perfectly appointed. Thanks a million, Krisha!

My sister and I spent 4 nights celebrating my 41st birthday. This was my 3rd trip to Kauai and 1st time staying in Princeville. Olivine Surf Lodge was one of the best vacation rentals we've ever had! All the comforts of home, decorated in a fun and playful way and plenty of space. We saved a lot of money grocery shopping and making meals at home and spent every morning on the lanai drinking coffee and every evening back on the lanai sipping wine. We also adored the perfumes made by the owner in the bathrooms and even purchased them at a store in Kapa'a as souvenirs of our trip. The unit was spotless and communication with the property manager was good and efficient. We will definitely be back with family and friends to share in this wonderful space.

It was amazing staying at this place. They had everything we were looking for. Just one note it is a bit far from Lihue area which is about an hr drive due to the speed limit and number of lanes. Everything else was just fabulous Aloha!

We were a bit put off on arrival because there was a huge crane and construction equipment in the area we were told to park. I didn’t know the property was under construction at all, to be fair I may have missed any disclosure of the ongoing roof replacement at Puamana. The contractor told me it’s been under way since December 2023. That being said they were actually actively working on the roof for the building we were in.
Krishna was kind enough to speak to the owner and offer us a rate reduction. Overall we loved the unit, it was clean and comfy and we made the most of the trip- just made the first impression unpleasant and stressful.
I’d stay at Olivine Surf Lodge again. I like what the owner has done to create her own little brand- cute amenities and soaps, a handy tote bag and everything labeled with her logo. So thoughtful.

We are so glad we found this property. It exceeded expectations! The owners really thought of everything. It is the best stocked condo we’ve ever rented. From cooking utensils and beach equipment to high end lotions and potions and a lovely care package upon arrival. We were worried about no air conditioning but that wasn’t an issue at all. The breeze comes through nicely and there are fans supplied in every room. It definitely was not an issue. We can’t wait to come back!

We had an excellent, extremely comfortable stay at the Olivine Surf Lodge. We had an incredibly long journey to Kauai, and found the townhouse to be immaculate, extremely clean and fresh, and well stocked for our entire week's stay. We loved using the organic soaps and lotions supplied the bathroom, the beds and linens were so soft and comfortable (we slept like a log all week!), enjoyed the Hawaiian breezes blowing through the windows, and felt the townhouse was ideally located for us to reach all of our destinations that week. The grocery store and shops were so close, the neighborhood was walkable, and we loved the close proximity to the beaches. The kitchen was perfectly stocked with supplies to cook meals, we had plenty of towels, laundry soap, trash bags, paper towels, and toilet paper for the entire week. It was such a relief to not have to deal with getting any of that after such a long journey. All the details were already met for us. We didn't even have to do much upon departure, because the owners understood how long our travel times were. Overall, we were so comfortable and happy in this immaculate townhouse. Very good Hawaiian vibes! We had such a relaxing time the entire week, because the townhouse provided us with all that we needed to unwind and simply enjoy Hawaii. Thank you!

This property was one of the best equipped units we've had the pleasure to stay in.

Very quiet residential complex.

We loved all the thoughtful extras - the hammock on the patio with a view of the ocean, the made in Hawaii lotion/shampoo and conditioner, and the sweet welcome book with lots of great recommendations. We can’t wait to come back!

Our family of four spent six nights at Olivine Surf Lodge. Our biggest regret was that we did not stay longer. This was our first time in Kauai and six nights was not long enough. It was also our first stay in a vacation rental home. I spent lots of time researching and reviewing places to rent. Cleanliness and location were two of the main factors that were important to me. To be honest, I did question staying here because of the carpet upstairs (I manage long term rentals and know how gross and grimy carpets in rental units can get.) But, the carpet was fine and everything else was clean and up to my picky standards. The beds were very comfortable - so comfortable that I regret not checking to see what brand the mattresses were. We cooked four dinners and ate all our breakfasts at the condo. All of the cooking equipment we needed to do that was there - including a grill. The condo it self was well decorated, bright and welcoming. The location was within walking distance to Anini beach, a large and well stocked grocery store, restaurants and the Princeville farmers market on Saturday mornings.

Our stay at the Olivine Surf Lodge was exceptional from start to finish. We had a very late check-in on our first night, which Krisha accommodated without any issue. She sent a few videos and detailed information for how to reach the condo, which was very helpful since it was dark and Google maps initially took us to the wrong street. The condo was all we had hoped and more. Everything was immaculate, the beds were super comfy, the kitchen was stocked with all of the basics we needed, and there were many extras provided such as beach towels, lovely fragranced shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and after-sun balm, and many interesting books to enjoy during our stay, such as the New Kauai Movie Book (a great reference that helped to guide some of our excursions!). We enjoyed everything from the lovely decor inside the condo to the stunning view just outside the door. The condo has a great view of the golf course and the ocean in the distance, is just steps away from the pool out the front door, and has lots of windows to take in the sun, views, stars, and breezes. It was actually a little bit cool during our stay, so a few more blankets in the closet would have been good, but we managed with the throw blankets from the couches. The only thing I wish had been more clear was the recycling instructions. The guidebook in the condo said there was no recycling on-site, but when I went back over the email instructions at the end of our stay, it said that the rental company actually can take any accumulated items for recycling and dispose of them appropriately. I wish we had seen that earlier, or that there had been a reminder near the trash can in the kitchen as there were in many other places around the unit. I highly recommend this place and hope to come back and stay again someday!

My husband, 17 month old daughter, and I absolutely loved our stay at the Olivine surf lodge. The place was ridiculously well stocked and Krisha was so accommodating and communicative. The location was great, right on the golf course, and a short walk to a playground and Princeville town center. Would recommend 1000 times to anyone looking for a peaceful Kauai stay.

We loved everything about this rental. The location and the view from the patio were excellent. As others have said, the VRBO is very well equipped with everything you need for cooking. The beds were very comfortable, including the couch bed on the second floor (my adult son slept comfortably there). The beach chairs, towels, and other beach gear were all appreciated. It was a perfect place for us to celebrate a birthday and an engagement. Highly recommend this property.

The Olivine Surf lodge was a perfect spot for our family vacation. The condo itself is open with great light and views where even better than expected. Being on the edge of the golf course made all the difference and made for great sunsets with views of the ocean from the kitchen/living room and back porch. The condo was one of the best stocked we have stayed in and you instantly felt at home and with the supermarket a two minute drive away it made for an easy stay. Beds where very comfortable and all the little amities, beach towels, sand toys, coolers, beach chairs, etc... made days at the beach on the Northshore a breeze.

Pros: ideal location, near Foodland Grocery, near north shore beaches, feels quiet and safe, the property is nice, nice open living space, a lot of amenities like boogie boards and chairs, thoughtful touches like aftersun gel, books and games. Cons: NO AC, it got way hot and there are only fans in this place. Nights were bearable, but all the fans had to run and windows had to be open, there are also no blinds, curtains, or shades. Also, there were a few bugs around, but that is to be expected.

We loved the floor plan of this unit. My friend had the larger upstairs bedroom, with the walk-in closet and the extra living area. I had the downstairs bedroom (no steps!). Having the bedrooms on separate floors gave us all the privacy we needed.The unit is close to the parking lot, but not close enough to hear any noise from cars. There are now recycling bins for the complex, conveniently located in front of the parking spots for Building 12.Unit 12A is a short walk to the Westin, where we had drinks and dinner at Nanea multiple times during our week long stay. The location on the golf course meant we had an open view towards the gorgeous Kauai sunsets every night. And if there is no moon, or any clouds, it is easy to walk out onto the golf course to look at the stars at night. We booked a standup paddle board lesson through Kauai Fun Activities (kiosk next to Foodland) and then rented boards the next few days. Fred, our patient instructor, delivered the boards to us at Anini Beach - a great place for beginners to practice standup paddle boarding.The property manager was easy to reach if necessary. We would definitely rent this unit again!

During the day we were gone on adventures, only returning for a quiet night and peaceful night sleep. The "rooster" crows greeted us every morning (sometimes too early) but they made me laugh.
