If you are looking for a place that is clean, newly renovated and furnished w/ top of the line everything...and with amazing views and location then look no further. Our family of 4 really enjoyed our stay and have zero bad to say. Just a lovely property that has everything you need! We look forward to coming back again in a couple years!

The house is beautiful and location is perfect. The house is decorated so beautifully. The kitchen is fully stocked. The beds are so comfortable. The view of the ocean is amazing. The ocean view can be seen in the living room and both bedrooms. The lanai faces the ocean where we had friends visit, the beautiful humpback whales. We came during December so the whales had migrated to Kauai. The stay at this place is absolutely perfect! Thank you! Will be back!

The property was exactly as the pictures imply - beautiful and clean with an excellent remodel. While the unit is on the small side, it was perfect for our family and perfectly adequate. The ocean views are incredible. Sitting out on the balcony with a good cup of coffee each morning was the perfect start to each day. We even saw multiple whales with their calves swimming in the waters just offshore. The kitchen and bathrooms were very clean and fully updated, and the furnishings and decor were all new throughout. The owners were very friendly and helpful, and communication with them was easy. Our only suggestion would be to add a Keurig coffeemaker to the kitchen. Excellent stay and we will definitely return!

Beautiful location with glorious views. Surf this tin of year is huge so loud day and night. Light in master shower is on the fritz and stove light isn't working as well. A few of the plastic glasses are cracked bit otherwise very well equipped kitchen The outdoor bbq needs to be adjusted to go much higher as it only heats to 250 degrees! Otherwise a fantastic spot!

Everything about this place was wonderful - from the view to the accommodations. The only problem we had was with the TVs because they were locked on a guest setting. Contacted the property manager who said they would send someone out. Within 1-2 days the views made the televisions no longer interesting so we didn’t reach out again. If our children had been younger though it would have been an issue. Overall, I would highly recommend this place!

This place is just as listed. The views are amazing! This condo is clean and comfortable. This is the best stocked Vrbo I have ever stayed in. They had more than enough towels, kitchen equipment and beach items. There is a washer and dryer, but I didn’t spend my vacation doing my towels like at some places that give you 1 set for each bathroom. Beds are comfortable and there was never a bad nights sleep with the ocean breeze and waves crashing sound. I will miss this most. Everything was in working order and clean. I would stay here again if I get back to Kauai!

This was a great space, peaceful area and neighbors, gorgeous view, comfortable home. Our only issue, and this was almost laughable by the end of our trip, is that the light and fan switches were bizarre and inconsistent. But who needs that when the sun greets you over the ocean each day?

This place was great! It’s in a quiet, beautiful neighborhood in Princeville, not too far from Hanalei Bay. The place was spacious and clean. The only issue we had was the washer didn’t seem to work. I contacted Terry and he responded immediately. Unfortunately because it was Christmas, no repair person could come out but we were fine. As noted by other reviewers, there is no A/C, so temperature regulation can be a little tricky. The weather was temperate, so it wasn’t a big deal for us.

It was a wet visit to Kauai and the best condo to be at! Amazing views from bed, easy in and out location and luckily on the east side of the bridge that was shut down to weather. Loved that we could wash our wet clothes, cooked many meals in their extremely well equipped kitchen, and enjoyed many sunrises from the property.

From the moment we booked this condo, our expectations were high, and I’m thrilled to say that they were not just met, but exceeded. The Princeville location of the condo is its biggest selling point. Perched on the cliffs overlooking the ocean, it was close to local attractions, dining, and shopping, making our stay both convenient and relaxing. The condo itself was a true reflection of what was advertised. The rooms were spacious, tastefully decorated, and well-maintained, providing a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Each space was equipped with all the necessities, ensuring a comfortable stay. The cleanliness of the condo was impeccable, a clear indication of the host’s commitment to guest satisfaction. What made our experience even more enjoyable was the attention to detail. From a well-equipped kitchen to comfortable bedding, every aspect was thoughtfully considered. The Wi-Fi was reliable, which was crucial for us to plan our daily outings and stay connected. But it’s not just the condo that made our stay delightful; the host’s hospitality was remarkable. They were responsive, helpful, and genuinely interested in making our stay as enjoyable as possible. Their recommendations for local eateries and must-visit spots were spot on. In conclusion, this condo was a fantastic choice for our trip. It offered the comfort of a home, the luxury of a high-end hotel, and the convenience of a prime location.

Very clean, comfortable and affordable. We were very happy with our stay at Alii Kai. Our 3 year old daughter especially enjoyed the pool which was very close to the condo. Cooked many meals and the kitchen was well appointed. Great views from the lanai morning and evening. The whole place was very quiet and comfortable, we will be back!

We were hoping for a memorable stay for our trip back to Kauai, and this place was exactly what we were looking for! Sweeping views of the ocean from each room, with well-stocked amenities including extras like beach gear, in a quiet safe walkable area. Chantal was a pleasure to communicate with - kind, understanding and quick to respond. She went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed. It really felt like staying at a friend's place. All in all this was such a special stay, and we would not hesitate to come back!

This property is way more beautiful than we expected. Gorgeous setting with full oceanview. Lovely furnishings and decent bed. That’s also the downside because the waves are fairly noisy when the wind kicks up (which is often). Not a place for active kids with glass tables everywhere. Exceykitchen. Add a few more towel hooks in the bathroom and it’s perfect.

Dishwasher did not work and would not be repaired or replaced during our 2 week stay. Toaster and microwave were broken. They did bring a new toaster and microwave. No hot pads available. Very little hot water in master shower. We were refunded one night stay for the inconveniences.

Had about 15 hours of travel after we got up to this condo in princeville. No key was left in lockbox for us to get in. Was asked repeatedly to try to break in and crawl through a window, everything was locked and not possible. Was also told the cleaning lady wasnt even showing up until dec 5th, we had dec 4th til the 13th booked for 7+ months. With warm groceries and 3 tired kids he got us a condo in kapaa for 3 nights and another 40 min drive back down towards lihue. Condo is in great shape and looks way better than the pictures they have posted. Tv and the dvd player were not in working order, host didnt seem to care. Take a chance if you want a nice place for a decent cost, but you might have to crawl through a window to get in. Owners really need to update to touch pad entry door.

I’ve stayed at many rental properties in Hawaii but this one beats the others hands down. The oceanfront views and the birdlife on the property was amazing. We appreciated the beautiful interiors and the well stocked kitchen. We will definitely come back again. Mahalo!

Well equipped and very clean condo (no carpets- yay!) Especially compared with other vrbo units we have used. Great location with short drive to many beaches and Napali coast. Only minor issue was noise from footsteps in condo above occupied on our last night. Sherri answered most emails very quickly. Highly recommended.

Adored this condo! It's everything and more. 360 views DAY and NIGHT. Incredible views from every room. Nicely appointed - very thoughtful host! Evening stars put on a show every night - too many stars to count... Saw dolphins playing.. slept like a baby every night listening to the waves crash... One of my new favorite places and will definitely be back!

Nothing fancy but has everything you need and the view is incredible! Even a rainy day is nice because you can sit and read or work on a puzzle and just watch the ocean waves roll in and...... then there are the rainbows! When you are out and about for the day it is a wonderful relaxing place to land at the end of the day. Lots of beaches, nice grocery store, shops and restaurants in Princeville and Hanalei. Truly a home away from home.

We had a wonderful stay! The property is older and a bit outdated but was clean and had an amazing view and was a great base camp for exploring the island. Waking up and falling asleep to the sound of waves crashing was so serene. We loved being able to sit on the bench overlooking the cliffside and watch the sunset in the evenings. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were really comfortable. The property manager was very responsive to my messages and questions!
