We stayed at this condo for 5 nights and had the best time. Great location, if you want to explore the north shore. We had everything we needed. Highly recommend.

Kauai Haven is an absolute gem of property and home! My husband and I enjoyed every minute of our stay. We loved waking up to the beautiful sunrise, hearing the birds sing, and enjoyed our morning coffee on the patio. To toasting on the patio in the evening surrounded by the lush landscape and garden lighting. With the comforts of home throughout and beautiful decor, no detail was sparred. We truly appreciated the available beach chairs and umbrellas for our time at Hanalei Beach. Such a special place, we look forward to our stay again...Mahalo!

We were delighted with this unit! We stayed one week. It was clean, smelled clean, the rooms , kitchens, bathrooms spotless, Toto Toilets a plus, and the spectacular ocean views were just stunning! The manager was responsive for each time we reached out to them. We had trouble with the opening the door but they answered right away and helped us figure it out. We would come back again for sure!!Thank you for a wonderful stay !

This place was amazing. Thank you so much for sharing. The amenities were simply perfect for us, not to mention the lovely lanai with a breathtaking view and active whales, dolphins and birds. Loved the binoculars and really enjoyed the guide books. The listing of your favorite things to do was greatly appreciated and thorough. We’ve been to Kauai many times and found many new fun things to do in your write. Super washer and dryer - beach toys including thick beach towels and sand mats were in great shape and plentiful. Can’t thank you enough for having various size fins and snorkel gear. Again, just perfect. Linens, pillows, bedding, were exceptionally comfortable and of good quality. Everything was amazing. Loved the well equipped orderly kitchen - especially the containers with lids and non-breakable drinking glasses that made it so easy for beach picnics and such. Trade winds and abundant fans made the stay pleasant. Again, a thousand thanks for sharing your beautiful, comfortable well appointed place. This unit is not fancy, just very simple and practical with tremendous Aloha. People like us could not come to paradise if it weren’t for people like you trusting strangers in your home. Mahalo.

Excellent place to stay. Only problem is we were hoping for a refund of our money we needed to pay for damage problems that never occured.

5 stars for location, amenities , and the view . 3 stars for the cleanliness. Unit is old and outdated. Couches are stained and very old. Top of refrigerator had a thick layer of black dirt. Bed linens were threadbare and the mattress pad was stained . Dirty stuffed animals and nicknacks fill the unit. Windows need cleaned and repaired. The screens are damaged allowing insects in the unit. The amenities are very nice , everything you need in the condo for a beach vacation (beach towels , beach buggy , snorkeling gear, even coolers!). This rental has been getting by with its 5 star location for years I’m guessing . I just expect a clean stay, the online pics don’t reflect the current state of the unit.

Amazing view of the mountains from the bed was my favorite thing about this unit! Everything was very clean and it was nice to have a fan when the sun got intense in the afternoon. We enjoyed staying here and would highly recommend this rental.

The unit was in a secure condo association. The landscaping was beautiful and lush. The kitchen, living room, and the 2 bedrooms were beautifully designed and decorated. Not cramped at all. Also, had a new washer and dryer. We loved the cool breezes and the privacy. I can’t say enough about how lovely our stay was! The roosters were beautiful!!!

My husband and I and our 2 college age daughters stayed 4 nights and wished it had been longer. The unit was beautifully decorated with very comfortable beds and furniture. It had everything we needed for cooking and we enjoyed the beach gear provided each day on our outings. Great location for north shore excursions. We would love to stay here again and highly recommend!

The condo lived up to all expectations. The balcony was a great outdoor space with a fabulous view and daytime shade. This is a first floor corner condo so quite private. There is little nearby for walkable amenities but most of Princeville seems like that. Hanalei is only a short drive. Would definitely stay here again.

Truly gorgeous property. The view is absolutely stunning. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was wonderful. It’s even more beautiful in person. The kitchen was stocked well, the space is very clean, parking is easy. You can watch whales from every room along with sea turtles. The beach chairs, umbrella and snorkel gear was such a nice touch. Would absolutely stay again!

The rental was good but dated. Great location and easy to get to. All was good, even without AC, as the condo was pleasant and not too hot because the breezes were enough to keep the temperatures comfortable. We enjoyed the wraparound lanai as we had the view of both the mountains and ocean and could enjoy the sunny days on either side. One issue we had was with the TV in the living room. It was difficult to use as it appeared to only be steaming services with older movies and TV shows and no current TV channels. We had to watch real TV in the bedroom. Not exactly the most comfortable way to watch NCAA basketball. Would have been nice to have had some instructions if actual live TV was available. All in all it was a pleasant stay.

We stayed two weeks in this lovely condo. It is spacious, well decorated and has all that you would need. There were multiple ceiling fans and fans available. The host responded promptly to a question we had. We enjoyed the view of the mountains and the fabulous landscaping in the resort. The proximity to Hanalei was convenient. I would recommend this VRBO property.

Absolutely amazing stay! The hosts had everything you could ever possibly need from snorkel gear (and multiple sets) to beach chairs, cooking utensils, and amazing binoculars to watch the whales - which we did for our 3 day stay! I loved the DECOR! So oceany!!! Highly recommend the cliffside stay! We did not have a lot of time to explore the trails around the condo, but it looked like quite the adventure if you decided to do those things as well! Loved it!!!

We had an amazing stay here!!! By far the best view I’ve had in a vrbo rental. Saw beautiful sunrises over the ocean and several whales! You can hear the sound of the waves in every room. The house was very comfortable and clean. The host provided some detergent for laundry which was an added plus after our muddy hikes. The location was very quiet, peaceful, and uncrowded. About a ten minute drive into hanalei which was a nice distance for us. Would definitely stay again!

This might be my favorite VRBO condo and we have stayed in many. It’s well decorated, well supplied with kitchen utensils and beach needs, and has a gorgeous view from windows in every room except the bathrooms! We really enjoyed sitting on our balcony. The location is very convenient to the grocery store, as well as many beaches.

My wife and I enjoyed our one week stay at the condo. Description of the condo was spot on. We especially enjoyed taking advantage of the kitchen with its fully stocked appliances and utensils. A couple of nights we just cooked in instead of finding a restaurant and coffee in the morning. A couple of minor problems came up and we contacted the property manager, Jason. During a rain storm the handle on a few of the windows were broken not allowing us to close them. Jason explained the ocean air was really hard on metal. Then after washing a load of clothes we discovered the dryer had a broken on/off knob. Jason contacted his cleaning crew working in another unit, had a lady pick up our laundry to dry them. She returned the clothes dried and neatly folded within a hour. Very nice lady. Would stay in the condo on our next visit to Kauai.

Am always on the hunt for the perfect spot for 2 people and this place comes as close as any I’ve found.While it is 2 beds, 2 baths and would certainly accommodate 4 people it truly was a wonderful fit for just the 2 of us.Unobstructed ocean front views of the whales, 1 level living, and a lovely accommodation to boot. Nothing to complain about here.Look forward to our next visit.

Had a great time at this condo. Unreal location. First floor with unfiltered views of the ocean. More spacious than I expected. Would recommend for a future stay. Easy parking. The grounds are well kept. The only issue we had was the mattress and pillows were quite uncomfortable.

I cannot say enough about this rental. From the start, communication was great with the property manager — she was very quick to get back to me, answer questions, and provide all the information I needed! When we arrived, everything was ready — clean and neat as a pin! So many extra thoughtful touches — beach chairs and towels, ice chest, fully furnished kitchen, the linens were lovely! But the really outstanding feature of this home is the view out of each bedroom and the living room — green grass, blue ocean, white clouds and breaking surf — it’s just magical waking up here. It is an end unit with a ground floor lanai, where we enjoyed tea and breakfast every morning — sometimes our friends the whales would come by to say hi! With a place like this, you don’t have to go anywhere else. So much aloha!
