This place had a great Hawaiian feel & served our family well during our short visit to Hanalei. We didn't realize the house was an open-air concept when we booked, but that was a really neat element of the space. Host was fantastic!

Enjoyed morning coffee watching the Brazilian Cardinals and other birds off the balcony. Beds were comfy. Entire living space was beautiful and spacious. The dining table was perfect for working our 1,000 piece puzzle. So close to our favorite beach in Hanalei. Mahalo

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: Our stay in unit 4103 couldn’t have been better. The view from the back lanai is spectacular. The unit itself was clean, well organized, and felt as comfortable as home. If you like to cook, the kitchen was well stocked with quality cookware and appliances, and I really appreciated the thought put into the utensils - sharp knives being top of the list. All around lovely place. Would stay here again!

We had a great time relaxing at this condo. The view is amazing and the Princeville area has plenty of eating and beach options. The weather was typical for Kauai and the airflow through the co so was perfect. Bed was comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook breakfast and dinners. Overall it was a great spot for the 2 of us!

The bed was super comfortable, unless you like a firm mattress, I slept like a baby hardly noticed the roosters after the first night. A newer Fridge with a great ice maker was awesome as was the washer and dryer. Location was great not perfect but great. Bedroom view of the mountains was beautiful. We were steps away from Turtle caves which did not disappoint on any day or time if day. It was a fabulous stay , not the Ritz but worth the cost. One small problem with a ceiling fan but it should be taken care of soon.

We have been coming to Kauai since 2001 and have stayed at every type of accommodation on the north shore. This condo certainly is in our top 3. Definitely would book it again.

Our stay was lovely with an amazing view of the ocean from ALL rooms. Falling asleep to the sound of ocean surf was magical as was greeting the whales and turtles every morning. If you enjoy running, wonderful running loop that sends you down a steep fire road to Anini Beach to enjoy views of ocean surf and the lighthouse. The condo had everything we needed and was very comfortable. John is awesome to work with and is very prompt; we would absolutely stay in his place again. Now we must leave and likely get an ocean surf sound machine so we can sleep as well as we did in Kauai!!😁 Mahalo!

This condo was perfect for our family, 4 adults. Both bathrooms are nicely remodeled, great water pressure and the washer & dryer are a nice addition in the large master suite. The kitchen has most everything you need. The deck is small, but what a view! And with the doors wide open the ocean breezes blow through and out the ding window. Nice ceiling fans throughout, we didn’t miss not having a/c. The surrounding condos, resorts and homes are all connected by the the beautiful streets to walk. The grounds are beautiful and there are a few viewpoints where you can sit high above the ocean and watch the sunset and the surf. There is no safe path to the beach, but Hanalei Bay and Anini Beach are both so close. I would definitely recommend this property to my family and friends!

My wife and I returned to Kauai to celebrate our 10 years of marriage by renewing our vows. We were so incredibly happy with our stay in this condo. It was immaculate and located in a very quiet and nice community. It was near a market and a couple of great places to eat. The best part was it was only 10 minutes away from our favorite place on the island which is Hanalei Bay. We are booking again for sure before the year ends! Mahalo!

This is a spotless condo In beautiful surroundings. The views from the dining room are breathtaking. The condo has been nicely renovated by the owners and you can tell that they regularly take care of the property and spend time there. It also has many amenities like beach chairs, boards and much more. Don't look any further. This is the place to spend wonderful days around Princeville.

The condo exceeded expectations. Great space for myself, my husband, our 16 year old son and my mom. Plenty of space to hang out in the evening, super comfortable beds. Getting up and having coffee on the lanai was the best part…hearing all the birds and looking out on lush greenery. Highly recommend.

Our family stayed here for 9 days over spring break. The location was right on the bluffs of the North Shore. Sleeping at night with the sound of the waves and breeze coming through the windows was amazing. The condo was perfect for a family of 4. Beds were comfy, the condo was clean, and the kitchen was perfect for cooking all meals. Large TV in the living area was also great for family time in the evenings. I'd say communication with the host was great, but can't confirm. We had NO issues during the stay and did not need to contact him! We would 100% stay here again.

The unit was truly stunning as the listing suggests. Beautifully decorated and thoughtfully organized with everything you need for a great vacation in Princeville. The back lanai was so tranquil to enjoy the company of the local chickens and soak in the amazing view which was better than pictures suggest! I would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The condo was beautiful, clean and it was furnished with many nice and beachy themed items. Princeville area offers a lot to see and we aways found something different to do during our stay. I would definitely rent again.

The view is beautiful and the condo was very comfortable. The photos in the listing don't do it justice. The area is quiet. The Foodland supermarket nearby has a good selection including a deli with poke. Our family had a great stay.

Wonderful and roomy condo on the North Shore of Kauai. Extremely clean and perfect for our stay on the island. We used the pool and hot tub a few times as well as the provided grills in the pool area. Very close to grocery store and a reasonable drive to everywhere else we wanted to go on the island. Beautiful scenery from the back deck with views of most everything the island has to offer. Be prepared for the roosters to greet you before sunrise each day but closing windows or having a fan running reduces any noise. We would definitely stay here again!

Property is literally right on the shore with fantastic views. We saw turtles, whales, birds and blue water for miles. The property was very well stocked and extremely comfortable.

The condo was everything we wanted and more. We fell in love with the north side of the island years ago and was so happy to stay here. We spent 8 days on the north side and 2 day trips to the south. There’s so many hikes and dreamy snorkeling areas within walking distance! Loved how close it is to restaurants and shopping in Hanalei and Kiluea. We were so grateful for the beach towels. Pro tip: bring hiking sandals with grips on the bottom and also water shoes for snorkeling. Buy your snorkel mask and tube off Amazon. The only downfall which is no fault of this condo was the tenant above us. He seemed to be stomping around the entire night every night. Also the roosters crow as early as 3am so bring a white noise fan if you are a light sleeper! We can’t wait to come back and stay here again. It was amazing!!!

Our favorite spot in Princeville - nothing but sea and sky from the lanai. Great space for two couples with beach equipment, two baths, comfortable living room, equipped kitchen for cooking. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

We really enjoyed this condo. It had all the amenities we needed to relax and make meals. Beds were comfortable and the additional items (e.g. cooler) made the stay even more convenient. We were minutes from the grocery store and great dining options and close enough to the main road to easily get to various tourist attractions. Highly recommend!

Bill and Cathy’s condo lived up to the rave reviews and was even better than expected! This is our first day back on the mainland and it was hard to sleep without the sound of waves crashing below. Our family of four found the space to be very comfortable, and the well-stocked supplies like beach gear, ice packs for the coolers, sunburn cream, etc made everything easy for us to dive right into vacation. Walking down the path to Turtle Cave was our favorite daily adventure. Thanks again for a great week!

It was a joy to stay in a corner condo in a building that does not have air-conditioning machines disturbing the quiet. And my bedroom looked right out onto the jungle full of beautiful song birds. The condo was very clean and nicely appointed. Sadly, the buildings were built in such a way that I could hear the people staying in the bedroom below me, as they coughed, snored, and conversed. And the roosters were quite loud starting as early as 3:30 in the morning. Their noise also disturbed my afternoon naps. Fortunately, I travel with ear plugs and a white sound machine, so, with the windows closed, I managed to get nearly enough sleep all in all.

Condo was very clean and just like the pictures. Very relaxing on the north side of the island. We had the windows open night and day letting the nice ocean breeze come through. The kitchen didnt have a lot of spices but we left some for the next guest. 🙂🙂🙂 Kitchen was well equipped I really like that they had tubberware most places dont have tubberware. Lots of chickens! Had an amazing chill time here. Thank you

Amazing, wonderful, spectacular, immaculate, simply perfect. I don’t think all the superlatives in the world would begin to tell you how wonderful our stay in Princeville was. Absolutely a fantastic condo with everything you could ever imagine. Perfect location, beautiful views, and amazing hosts. Quite possibly the best stay we’ve ever had. Aloha and Mahalo.

We have 40+ years of experience as time share owners, VRBO renters and Vacation Club members. The unit is on the second floor, but the building is on a slope so you walk right up to the unit – no stairs. Entering the condo we immediately noticed the amazing ocean view from the balcony. We really liked the spaciousness of the kitchen with a separate island and the new washer/dryer. The kitchen was well furnished with just about everything you would need. The bedrooms were good sized, the beds comfortable and the pillows soft. The bathrooms were small but serviceable. The furnishings were somewhat dated; wicker/bamboo trim, Formica counter top, pressed board cabinets but clean and well maintained. There is a closet packed with beach equipment; chairs, umbrellas, children sand beach toys, bogie boards, picnic coolers, snorkel gear and a surfboard. At night you can hear the waves crashing on the shore and feel the ocean breezes through the bedroom windows – you will sleep well. There is a gas grill in front of the building. The resort has a small pool and there is no beach access (you’re on a cliff). There is a beach four miles south: Anini Beach: Great for families, restrooms, watch the wind surfers. Five miles north there is Hanalei Beach: left side of the pier swimming and surfing, right side of the pier, shallow water, great for families. Surfing lessons are available at beachside. There were no major negatives with the resort or rental unit. We would rent from them again

This condo was absolutely amazing. The views were stunning (we saw some whales sitting on the lenai eating breakfast!!) and it had everything we needed. We were able to grocery shop, cook, go to beaches nearby. All in all a wonderful experience!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Princeville. The only hitch was getting in the door! We kept trying the code on the lock box when it was REALLY an electronic code for the door lock! Once we figured that out it was a breeze. The views are amazing and we were very comfortable there. It was accessible to many places we wanted to explore! Thank you.

I had planned a trip to Hawaii with my mother and my sister and this place was a great space to house 3 people. With 2 bathrooms and laundry available, it was fantastic for a longer stay. The spot does not have air conditioning but has multiple fans set up. We came during the winter months so it was much cooler outside than normal. The beds were comfortable and it was just lovely to wake up to a view of the ocean.

Spacious, clean and comfortable, this space was ideal for 2 couples traveling together. The front yard patio has great views (and sounds) of the ocean, and spectacular views of the stars and constellations at night.

The communication from the owner was great and he left us with really helpful tips on restaurants and activities. The condo is amazing. Right on the water. Watched the surf and whales right from the lanai, living room and bedroom. Nicely equipped kitchen allowed is to make a few dinners of fresh fish from a local market. Princeville is a great location to enjoy the north shore and is a nice community for morning walks before you start your day.
