Great stay. Easy to get to. Low key. No A/C but that wasn’t a huge issue. The beach chairs / umbrella was great.

Great overall experience. My family enjoyed the stay very much! The location is great for the North Shore and close to many of the great beaches and sights that are within walking distance. I would highly recommend. The property owner was very helpful and accommodating when our flights were delayed.

Beautiful view. Everything you could want for beach fun is provided including a wide variety of snorkel gear. Lots of fans in every room to help you stay cool. It was clean and nicely decorated. Comfortable bed.

We came here for a night with our 18 month old. The property was clean and in great condition. They were equipped with a playpen and booster seat and children’s silverware which was very helpful. Location was great, near a lot of beaches, queens bath, the main town area with restaurants and the 1hotel which is nice to go to for sunset. We would definitely stay here again!

We have rented in the princeville area in the past and wanted to try a new condo. Overall, it was clean and nicely updated, though much darker inside that the pictures made it feel. Some of the things we've come to expect at these condos (Shampoo in all of the bathrooms, salt, laundry detergent) were not included so we had to go to the market nearby to purchase all of them. We liked the location, and especially the proximity to Turtle Cave (a must do if oceans are calm and tide is low) and sitting in the chairs in the community at night and looking up at the stars.The property had snorkel equipment and chairs which were super useful.The only complaint is that we felt the description of the property was a little misleading. The ocean views are from across a road vs the condo being in a building above the ocean. Additionally, we didn't realize the AC was only in the bedrooms vs also being in the entire place. May not matter in November, but in August, it can get pretty muggy. I will say that if you run the AC most of the time, it does help, and the rooms themselves were very comfortable from the AC pov but just something to know before you go.

Spectacular is the correct word!Beautiful ocean, sunrise, sunset and rainbows all from the lanai. The only thing missing was a unicorn!

We loved this little place! It was perfect for my husband and I. From the location, beach supplies, laundry, stocked kitchen essentials, it had everything we needed! It was so much fun riding the bikes one minute down the road and starting each morning on the Queens Bath trail. We will be coming back!!

The view is beautiful. The place was very uncleaned. I went and bought and Clorox wipe and wiped thing down. The microwave was gross. Looks like eggs was exploded in it. No bathroom amenity except towels. Silverware, pot pans, dishes…you name it, it was food, residue on it and dirty! We have to watch everything before we use it. It is very different than our rentals in the past! I feel like this is a timeshare condo and when people come over, they didn’t take good care of it. They just left it.We didn’t take any photos. We did take a video when you check out.

Beautifully remodeled unit. It was very clean and well stocked. Remember to check out the storage shed in the back for snorkel equipment or lawn chairs, we didn’t end up using them, but I could see that they would be handy! The owner is super kind and responsive and gave us great ideas of places nearby.

We loved staying at this condo. The view from the lanai is breathtaking. It was the perfect place to watch the sunrise and eat breakfast and drink coffee in the morning and have dinner and wine in the evenings. The inside was very comfortable and clean and had many of the amenities of home. The cross breeze and fans kept things cool. We also really appreciated all the little extras that this condo had that aren't found in others, such as having tupperware to save leftovers. Another great feature of this condo was the proximity to a nice pool that our two young kids especially loved to swim in after spending the morning at the beach. The condo is also just a few minute drive from Foodland, a nice, well-stocked grocery store that we discovered has some of the best poke in Kauai. Hanalei Bay's spectacular beaches and restaurants are only 10-15 minutes away. Lastly, we appreciated all the great information, insight and communication we received from the owners. We hope to stay here again.

Condo was excellent. Like most of Princeville, everything was very clean, comfortable and worked well. Some ocean views, easy access to the parking lot and short walk to the pool. Exactly what our family of 4 (with 2 boys) was hoping for.

Location was absolutely PERFECT! Loved having the view from the balcony and that Queens Bath was only a short 5 minute drive away. What I didn’t love was that the space was quite dirty. Sheets and towels were clean but the floors were messy, dishes in the cabinets were put away dirty, windows haven’t been cleaned in quite some time, and the primary shower had quite a bit of mold and hair. Secondly, there was some random miscommunication with VRBO and the host so she thought we hadn’t showed up due to the “tsunami.” She came in without any notice while we were not there. A heads up message on VRBO would have been nice. It made us feel a tad violated only because we had left things like cash, laptops, and passports laying out. Lastly, I fully knew that there was no AC….. what I didn’t realize is how hot and muggy it was going to be our entire stay. We had to have 6 fans running on high speed (super gunked up with dust) and both exterior doors open. A portable window unit would have made all the difference and hopefully (if the owner decides not to sell) they would consider having one installed for future guests.

Awesome space and amazing location right in the heart of Princeville! Plenty of room for a family of 4 and many things to do and see inside and outside of the property. The host was available and communicative at all times. Easy check-in and check-out, super accommodating. Whatever you need or may have forgotten to bring, they already have it prepared for you. The only wish we had was to have stayed longer!

Wonderful place with amazing views of the ocean! The host has thoughtfully filled the condo with everything you could need, a well stocked kitchen, laundry supplies, games, beach towels, beach toys and chairs, coolers, and beautiful decor throughout.

Definitely in August, air conditioning would have been great! (It didn’t occur to me that AC was an option? Keep in mind that in Kauai it is!) but other than that, it was a gorgeous place! Gorgeous pool! Well stocked with amenities! Super clean! Stunning views! And if you are physically able and brave enough to traverse the Turtle Cave Trail, it is worth it! But be very careful! I did have to visit a local Chiropractor after due to a nasty fall!

Absolutely incredible! The perfect home base for all of our adventures on Kauai's gorgeous north shore. The ocean views, cooling breezes, and comfy furniture made it great for relaxing in between expeditions. The host provided everything to make our stay super comfortable: the kitchen is beautifully remodeled and stocked, and there are beach chairs, coolers towels, and sand toys ready to go. The host is a wonderfully responsive communicator. Highly recommend. We hope to come back!

Pics don't do the view justice. It was "hot and humid" the whole time we were here and the lack of AC wasn't a big deal at all. Place is dated, but who cares. A great jumping off spot for all the Kuai north side spots. Would stay here again in a heartbeat

This was a great place to stay! A well stocked kitchen, everything you need for the water (boogie boards, snorkels, flippers, cooler, chairs, and towels). And to top it off the views were amazing ! Great VRBO!

This condo is reasonably nice, though in need of some attention. The screen doors to the patio needed new screens and rollers and the master bathroom sInk drained a bit slowly. These things were minor but two others were not: 1. The unit is not air conditioned. We suffered for our mistake of booking it in August.2. Roosters are everywhete. They are territorial and NOISY. At all hours.One alpha enjoyed crowing throughout the night... at,say, 3,4,5,6 AM RIGHT UNDER OUR BEDROOM WINDOW. Difficult to enjoy a vacation on no sleep.For these reasons, I would not rent this unit again.

A family of our stayed here and it suited our needs well. Beds were comfortable, space was great. As other reviews stated, the pool in the picture is not the one for this condo, but the pool we used is bigger and more family friendly- not a big deal for us at all. We enjoyed the privacy of being the end unit. The rental does have a few beach chairs and umbrella but they are very tired with broken straps. We did not have internet while we were there and none of the batteries in the remote controls worked. Wifi would have been nice since our phone service was spotty, but we were warned about this ahead of time. Rental unit feels a little tired, but is well-kept and very clean. Would be open to staying here again.

Amazing ocean views, well-appointed, clean, comfortable, had everything I needed plus plus! Solo woman traveler and felt very safe! The area/location is beautiful. Great for walking exercise. Quick drive to the beaches, stores and restaurants. Plenty of parking. I’m a spoiled southerner used to central AC and even without it I slept bc of the breezes, fans and cool sheets. Lucy and Doug are fantastic hosts, accommodating and detail oriented. Love there’s beach chairs, umbrella, towels, washer/dryer. She has thought of everything. Literally everything you need in a home away from home. If I would’ve cooked I would’ve had all that I needed too but I ate all the HI food I could. Went to a wedding at 1 hotel hanalei and it’s super close. Can’t wait to return. Mahalo!

Wonderful. I guess anywhere in the island of Kauai meets this description.Property as described; excellent. A rating of 4 (could be 3), unit was not ready until 4:00 PM in the afternoon, making for a boring and tiresome long wait.

WOW, that best summarizes this beautiful condo. The veiws were unreal and compared to those on the images you see posted online of the Napali coast. The location was ideal. We woke up and hiked down to Turtle cove several times, it was our favorite snorkel spot. It was easy to get to all the beaches on the north shore. The condo is beautifully decorated and super clean. The beds were comfortable. My son slept on the pullout couch and it was very comfortable as well. All linens and towels were clean and like new. The hosts left us a speacial welcome package that was so thoughtful. The condo had all the beach gear a family could need. The kitchen was well stocked. This place is a gem and we cant wait to visit again. Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with us!

This property is in a great and the views from the bedrooms and lanai are just amazing! I was a little worried about not having A/C but the breeze off the ocean was very comfortable! We left our windows open at bedtime and it was so peaceful to hear the waves. The condo was perfect for our family of four and in the perfect location for all that we did while in Princeville/Hanalei. The host was very nice and I would definitely stay here again and recommend this condo to family and friends.

One very nice surprise about our stay: the big draw of this condo is of course the ocean views, and it was really lovely to have the wide ocean views in every room. BUT ALSO there is a window in the dining room with a great view of the mountains! I loved looking out that window. We enjoyed our stay here. I was worried about the lack of AC, but the condo has really good airflow with the open windows, and the master bed is right under a fan. We slept well, and even in the heat of the day were not uncomfortable thanks to the breezes. Checkin was smooth. We used the kitchen a fair amount and liked it. Appreciated the beach chairs and towels provided. Easy parking. Lots of closet and dresser space. Another surprise plus: being able to lay in bed and watch the sun rise!

This place was 5 stars all the way! I can’t stop raving about it to my friends. It was beautiful, clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our quick trip to the north shore of Kauai. The kitchen has everything you can ever want for cooking. The Primary room is spacious and the bathroom is gorgeous…even better than the pictures. Great communication and very accommodating hosts, we will be back for sure.

I booked a suite for four people and expected to be charged accordingly. However, I was surprised to see additional charges on my bill, including fees for the number of guests—which was already disclosed at the time of booking—as well as a resort fee, resort tax, and extra room charges. The total amount charged was significantly higher than I anticipated and quite unexpected.

Property was central to everything we wanted to see and do. Owner was quick to reply to any questions. Property was clean, with a great view of the mountains from the back patio. Pool was close and really clean. Shopping and restaurants just a few kilometres away. We prefer to eat in and it was lacking space for non-perishable, but we made it work. :-) Totally recommend!
