As advertised, views, from every room.Great place to unwind after a long day of hiking. Lots of neighbors but pleasantly quiet for the amount of people.

One of the few true ocean front condos in the area. The views from every window was outstanding. The tall chairs on the lanai allowed for unobstructed ocean views. The entire condo was well stocked, from kitchen tools to beach toys and towels. The washer and dryer are very nice and really came in handy

This unit is about as close to the ocean as you can get and the bedroom closet is full of all the beach equipment you need! The kitchen is very well stocked with cookware/utensils so we went to Costco/Walmart in Lihue and loaded up on groceries to prepare most of our meals in the condo...restaurants around there are expensive! My ONLY complaint is the low chairs on the lanai isn't ideal for whale watching. Taller chairs would bring your line of sight above the railing instead of through it. I brought my own but nice touch having binoculars in the unit! The whales gave us multiple shows during the week!

Overall the property was nice and in a good location. My complaint is with the fact that it's on the first floor and the overhead occupants were very noisy. You could hear every step as they walked above us

The condo is nicely updated with contemporary furnishings. The views from the bedroom and living areas are stunning. The ocean facing backyard with the nenes and roosters was equally gorgeous. We even saw some whales while sitting on the backyard chairs. The huge shower in the en-suite bathroom was very therapeutic and relaxing. The condo was nicely stocked with beach gear and towels. The washer and dryer were sizable and convenient for laundering our swimsuits. One recommendation we have is to get rid of the glasses or kitchenware that are stained or worn. Overall, we had a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

William's condo was a great place, right next to the cliff above the ocean in the manicured town of Princeville. The kitchen was easy to use and clean to cook that Costco food - the bedrooms were clean and decorative, the fans/cooler nicely controlled the temperature, and the activities around the north side of Kauai were incredible. Other than all the beauty, privacy, and ocean views, what really distinguished this rental from other was William's accessibility and friendliness. He shared recommendations and even advised us on places in the south (where we went after we left). William and his house enhanced our amazing trip and we'd recommend it to any family looking for a home away from home.

We had such a lovely time at this condo for our holiday. It has a great kitchen with everything you need to cook, a great patio we ate our meals on everyday, and overall perfect location. We can't wait to come back again!

Well stocked with towels and beach accessories. No coffee provided and one of the fans didn’t work. Other than that, it was amazing! Even left a flashlight that we used to go into turtle cave.

This property is exceptionally well-equipped with everything you and your family need for a vacation. Lucy went above and beyond, even leaving us dinner because we flew in too late to go grocery shopping! The view is incredible!

Every space is full of something - a knickknack or household items leaving NO PLACE to put the things you want to unpack. Eg.The closet is 2/3 full of bedding leaving little space to hang clothing, the dresser top is cluttered with pretty ocean-themed knickknacks. Every cupboard is full. The unit needs a deep clean - cupboard doors are sticky. Lightbulbs were burned out - we had one of four bulbs above the dining table not burnt out. The main area heats up (we were there in December) because the large window in the dining room has no blinds to keep out the heat and it faces the sun. It looks like there were blinds at one time, but are not there now. Location is great & view is lovely otherwise.

This condo has a beautiful view over looking the ocean. The outdoor patio gives some privacy and a stunning view of the coastline. The kitchen had everything I needed to make meals for the family. Located close to Princeville and in a quiet community, there's a lot to do within a short drive - snorkeling, hiking, surfing, kayaking, or lounging on the beach. Lots of nice walking/biking paths, there's even a short path down to the water (it's slippery and steep so use caution). The rooms were clean and spaceous and plenty of room for my husband and our two kids.

Perfect spot for exploring the North Shore of Kauai. Food and beaches just minutes away. My family also took advantage of the on-site pool and hot tub. Would stay here again.

The condo has good facilities and is quite spacious. It was great to see the turtles in the cave so close to the condo. We celebrated Christmas there and found plenty of kitchenware for cooking and serving needed. The main bed was comfortable but the second bedroom and sofa bed mattresses could do with updating.

My husband and I took our three adult children to stay for the winter holidays. This unit had everyone needed for comfortable stay, including beach chairs, boogie boards and snorkel equipment. The property is very well maintained, and has a beautiful view. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Aloha! We enjoyed our 7 nights stay and were very happy. The host team was very responsive and very helpful. The property is exactly as it is described - stunning views. The check in/out was very easy and convenient. Though the property and furnitures are old but it is well maintained. By the way, windows cannot be closed completely - but that’s not much of a problem though. During our stay, for most of the nights we were happy to keep it open to enjoy the ocean waves sound and nice breeze. The condo had all essential stuff to enjoy our stay. It would have been good if there was a dish washer. This is not a surprise as it was already mentioned in the listing. So we planned accordingly. We will definitely consider this condo again next time we visit Kauai and decide to stay in the north shore. Mahalo!

The unit was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. TY for the welcome chocolates. There were only 2 beach chairs for a unit sleeping 4 The unit does not have AC(which is disclosed prior), but it gets warm and requires you to keep the windows open and get woken up by the roosters at 4 AM. My main issue was the undisclosed rule of quiet time, beginning at 9 PM. Can’t have a normal conversation on the deck, use the TV at normal volume or use the washer/dryer. If you like to go to sleep at 9, this unit is for you. The permanent neighbors are sensitive to the 9 PM rule and will share their displeasure.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Easy to check in and check out. Clean. No surprises. Right on the cliffs above the water. We listened to waves and chickens all day and night. Sat on the patio and read. Close to everything we needed to get to, but then again, it's a small island. Makes us want to buy a condo in the same facility, will definitely stay here again.

The condo was exactly as described and full of amenities for the beach! We felt very at home and spent many hours on the lanai watching the beautiful ocean. We even saw whales. It was a perfect spot to travel the north coast and also head down to the south coast for other fun excursions!

We had a great stay. Condo listing was accurate and the place was very well equipped. Comfortable spaces and very well located for exploring the North Shore. View can’t be beat. Thanks Curt for sharing your place! For others’ information: very nice new coffee pot, takes cone filters but they have a reusable cone filter if needed. Unit has beach towels and chairs, beach gear.

4 older ladies from 51-83. Had special needs for cooking, so the kitchen sufficed. Rooms had nice views, close to pool and parking, no noisy neighbours. Washing machine took a little long. Property was lovely.

Great space for my husband and I and my 23yr old daughter. Beds extremely comfortable. December temperature was perfect for a great nights sleep with no air conditioning. Kitchen was perfectly stocked! Quiet neighborhood and close enough to a Foodland and beaches.

December 2024

Condo was spacious for our party of three. Clean and in a quiet neighborhood, minus the roosters. I don't believe there is any getting away from them. Newly remodeled. Plenty of parking. In December anyway. There is a lockbox & a key for the front door. I find it much more convenient to have a keyless entry. There is no air conditioning. There are plenty of fans but it gets warm in the afternoon. While super close to the ocean, the unit is not situated to catch a cross breeze. It was nice to be on the ground floor & not have to schlep luggage up stairs. We could hear the person above us but not too annoying. I would imagine, that's common in a ground floor condo. I would recommend if you are not heat sensitive.

Perfect location and space. Two comfortable bedrooms both overlooking the ocean, generous full bathrooms, nice fill kitchen with all needed equipment, tastefully decorated. I appreciated having access to beach chairs, umbrellas and snorkeling gear. The patio was incredible with breathtaking views of the ocean. So peaceful and beautiful I did not want to leave. Will definitely be back!

A well-appointed, beautifully decorated, super clean and comfortable apartment for the 4 of us, with a stunning view and sounds of the Pacific right out your back door and bedroom windows. Close to everywhere we wanted to go - Kalalau Trail, Kilauea Lighthouse, Hanalei Bay. We would stay again in a heartbeat.

This condo is spectacular in every way. Great layout, peaceful community and the views and sound of the waves crashing on shore at night would make anyone never want to leave.Absolutely fabulous host, we couldn’t get the door open (my fault) but Lucy and her husband were there in 2 minutes with beautiful lemons and a smile to greet us. Truly remarkable; can’t wait to come back!

Location of house was in a beautiful well kept community. My reason for the low rating was because you are being charged so much money for cleaning fee and the house was very DIRTY! I can go on and list everything that has I’m not one to be picky where I stay but I really felt uncomfortable and had to make the best of it.

Beautifully remodeled unit, fully equipped kitchen and bathroom (no shampoo). Quiet location, except for the morning wake-up roosters. ☺️

We enjoyed our stay because how can one not in Kauai on the ocean? The condo is a nice size and the kitchen with island is nice. However, it is very sad to see such a nice condo in a truly beautiful location and with such an amazing view not be maintained. The biggest issue is that condo was not clean. I made the mistake of wiping up water on the floor in the master bath and the towel picked up HAIR (not ours), YELLOW stain (urine?) and dirt. It clearly had not been cleaned. The one working sink was also dirty. I ended up cleaning the entire floor and sink. The grout in the shower is very moldy and needs serious cleaning. The floor throughout the condo needs to be cleaned. The windows were dirty and full of bugs. The light fixtures in the entire condo are full of bugs. The deck clearly hasn't been cleaned in a long time. Bugs are plastered on the window sills. The paint is pealing off the walls around the window in the master. Very disgusting....The bedding, specifically the mattress pad, had not been washed in what appears to be a long time. It was yellow and dirty. The pillow cases were stained. We washed all the bedding. Also, the bed in the second bedroom is on a metal frame and our friends said anytime they shifted the bed moved and squeaked.

What a fantastic stay. The condo was equipped with everything one needs to enjoy their Hawaiian holiday. Beach towels,2 beach chairs, cooler for those beach days. The inside of the condo looks just like the pictures on the website. Great communication on how to get to the condo,just a bit tricky if you arrive in the dark as the signs are difficult to see. Don’t worry about sleeping in as those roosters will be sure to let you know when daylight breaks. One of our favorite things in the morning was sitting out on the veranda with a cup of coffee and taking in the incredible view and listening to all the bird life…Thank you

Overall good place. The pool and grill area are perfect. Some of the bbq dont work well but there are 4 grills to choose from. The kitchen is well equipped but could use a dish rack. The unit faces a deadend street but unfortunately garbage trucks use that street to park and collect garage from neighboring resorts which is really noisy during the day.
