Great Princeville condo. We enjoyed our stay at Emmalani court and I would return. This is an end unit on the 2nd floor of a 2-story walk up. As soon as we arrived I was amazed at how much space this condo has. During the day it got a nice breeze if we had the windows and screen door open. It was nice to have AC to sleep with. We have had some other condos where chickens woke us up but that really wasn't an issue here. Everyday we loved seeing nene goose walk about on the lawn in the morning sunshine. This unit is a pretty close walk to the pool. The pool and hot tub were adequate. The lounge area by the pool was nice. My kids only complaint was that they wished there more kids hanging by the pool to swim with. Overall a great place. It had a LARGE rolling cooler available. I would have preferred a smaller one we could carry with us. The kitchen was well stocked for our needs. I appreciated having a little cooking oil, S&P and sugar. The property manager's communication by email and phone was excellent and friendly. Mahalo

Two bedroom ground level condo with AC for the entire unit. Very nice location with distant ocean views on the golf course. The unit has been updated and renovated with nice furnishings. My only comment would be that the housekeeper could do a better job with cleaning and organizing the unit but this may not be an issue for many.

Had everything we needed for our week stay. Ample food staples (condiments, coffee filters, spices) and beach gear- including snorkel sets, coolers, towels. Condo pool and hot tub were delightful after a busy day. Would stay again.

My husband, teenage daughter, and I were fortunate enough to spend a week in this lovely home in Princeville. The accommodations were perfect - so much room, beautiful, and they have EVERY. LITTLE. THING. you could think of needing... just buy your groceries and show up! The location was ideal, check in/out incredibly easy, and great communication with the host company. We especially appreciated all the gear they have available - snorkeling, boogie boards, beach chairs, nice beach towels, sunscreen, floaties, hats, and even provided laundry detergent which was so convenient for our family as we are a "get out and get dirty" kind of adventurers. Highly recommend sunsets on the golf course, seeing the albatross family, and walking over to 1 Hotel for more stunning views and a glass of wine at the end of the day. The price is right for this fantastic vacation rental - don't think twice about booking. We can't wait to come back (as everyone says in their guest book)! :)

We had a wonderful stay here. The views and interior are beautiful. Easy walk to Hotel 1 (for views, cafe, and beach), Hideaways, the pizza place next door (also called Hideaways), and to the pick up for the Haena shuttle. We stayed 6 nights and wish we could have stayed longer. April was a great time to be in Princeville--a couple of stormy days but mostly the perfect sun, clouds, and gentle rain mix. We never needed the A/C--just left the windows open at night for the breeze.

The location is great. Close to Hideaway Beach and Queen’s Bath. Unfortunately Queen’s Bath was closed. Definitely need to rent a vehicle to get around the island. The pool is very nice. The owner of the condo gave a lot of info on places to eat and beaches to visit. Owner was extremely attentive to any concerns.

Gorgeous large condo. The actual condo was much larger and new feeling than the pictures suggested. Ocean view, birds including baby albatross. Easy walk to Hideaway beach, great snorkling. Walk to restaurants at the hotel. Great stay! Mahalo!

This place is wonderful. Ocean view with whale watching from the balcony was a highlight. Air conditioning in both bedrooms but none in the main living area, but that's not a big deal in Hawaii. There is a coffee maker, toaster, toaster oven, water boiler, and Brita water filter. We always stay at this condo complex and it's always been a great experience. Highly recommended!

Well appointed 2 bedroom condo, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals there, and the pool was right across from us. AC a major bonus in this area!

Loved this condo! The place was clean and had EVERYTHING you need to enjoy your stay. It provided adequate space for our family of six, which included my mother in law and three kids.The view from the back patio was relaxing and lovely. Perfect place to enjoy a cup or coffee and enjoy the sun and birds.Our Host provided great information about the rental and local area. They notified us of an issue with the blinds that resulted in them having to hang curtains. That was such an insignificant thing to us but they wanted to be sure we were aware of a difference in what to expect. We actually loved the curtains and how much light they blocked when trying to get just a few more winks of sleep.We did use the pool once during our stay and the kids really enjoyed it. The manager, Chris, came out to introduce himself and check on us. Very kind and helpful guy.Would definitely recommend this place and can’t sit to visit again!

The house is amazing, located on the cliffs in Princeville. The furnishings were beautiful, the kitchen was totally equipped. We enjoyed the walk in the backyard to watch the sun go down over Bali hai. And the birds on the golf course were very entertain especially the albatross dancing. The Foodland in Princeville has everything you need. It’s a 2 mile walk each way from the house. You can also walk to the beach, about a 2 mile round trip, but lots of stairs. Will definitely come again!

This place was so clean and had many amenities. Actually the nicest one weve used. You definitely need a rental car tho as no restaurants or beach access.

This condo had everything we needed! Excellent location. It was clean and comfortable and just how it is pictured in the listing. Recommend walking down the golf course to view the sunset each evening.

This property, this PROPERTY! It’s even more beautiful than the pictures portray and the spaces are very well appointed and lovely. The owner has gone to great lengths to create a relaxing and luxurious condo with views that will blow your mind every single day. On top of that there’s an albatross nesting area not far from the lanai and we fell in love with them so amazing! We will definitely be returning to Jeff’s home, and we did not want to leave! Our entire experience from beginning to end was perfection and Kauai is the most beautiful place my family has ever encountered! You’ll be beyond thrilled to stay in this beautiful property!

We really enjoyed this stay and it was perfect for our family with two small kids. The sunsets were incredible and we could walk out to see whales every evening. Would highly recommend staying here and would come back in a heartbeat!

The condo was incredible, and the location was perfect! Everyday we saw whales from the lanai, and our days ended with gorgeous sunsets. I was surprised how quiet it was at night. We can't wait to go back! wait to go back!!

We had a wonderful family vacation here! The location could not have been better with amazing sunsets on the back deck, great snorkeling, surfing and food close by, and the condo had all of the amenities any family could want.

We (4 adults) were very comfortable in this condo. It was open, airy, had beautiful surroundings, quiet and clean. The beach chairs, coolers and other beach equipment were a great addition. We loved the Princeville area and would definitely return to this condo.

The condo is very true to the pictures. It sits on a golf course with a small distant view of the ocean and a lovely view of the gardens. The sun would rise in front of our deck and we enjoyed coffee in the AM there. It is well appointed and clean. The main bathroom has been well loved but was perfectly fine. The location was great. There is a bike path outside the complex that quickly takes you to a off road path that continues for approx 1.6 miles to the park and a little shopping area with a Foodland, Lapperts ice cream, cute shops and a few places to eat. If you turn right out of the complex and walk in that direction for about 1/2 mile there are a couple options to walk down to beaches. In the condo the 2 bedrooms have independent air conditioners which were nice and there are plenty of fans in the main living areas. The unit is also fully stocked with beach chairs, snorkle gear, coolers, boogie boards and kids beach toys. We would love to come back again and enjoy this lovely condo.

We spent a wonderful week at Mika’s place in Kauai. The condo is spacious, well-maintained, well-appointed and oh-so-comfortable. (I actually did an online search to see where she got her pillows that my head sank into every night!) The kitchen is very well equipped, I would have loved to make more use of it and do more cooking than we did. We loved seeing the nenes gather in front of the lanais and we especially loved seeing the albatrosses doing their mating dances on the other side of the lawn. Would definitely come for a return visit.

We love Princeville and have stayed there 4 of the last 5 years. This year our normal spot was booked, but we found this sweet gem right on the golf course and a few short steps from the bluffs overlooking the ocean. It was SO relaxing!! The space was fantastic and the beds were REALLY comfortable!! We ate nearly all our meals at home, because it was so pleasant and the kitchen so well supplied. We will definitely come back!!

Great location. Watched whales from the lanai, listened to the ocean nightly from the primary suite, walked to 1 Hanalei several times for cocktails on the beach and dips in the hot tub (they don’t ask if you’re staying there after 5pm). The pool at the condo was fine, the hot tub wasn’t working. The condo had everything you could want for a family.

We had a great time at the condo. It is large and comfortable and so so quiet!! It is great to see all the birds on the golf course. We have stayed in this complex numerous times and we love it. It feels safe and has everything we need.

After spending two weeks on other Hawaiian islands we finished our last six days on Kauai (Princeville)The location at the golf course was perfect and the nearby hikes, beaches and restaurants were only a short drive awayA real treat to walk the course early in the morning to watch the sunrise over the fairway and a beautiful view of the surf belowThe unit was very comfortable for the two of us and could easily accommodate 4 adults Certainly looking forward to returning to Princeville again

We stayed at Hale Emmanlani for a full week and it was wonderful! We had everything we needed to have a few meals at home and were very comfortable. The view was outstanding, even on rainy days. We would stay here again.

I had a wonderful stay at this condo in Princeville, Kauai! The property is spacious and well-equipped, with a full kitchen that made cooking a breeze. The ocean views from the condo were stunning, and mornings spent sipping coffee on the balcony while watching birds and golfers were truly peaceful. The king-sized bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring restful nights, though the twin beds in the second bedroom are better suited for children rather than adults.The condo’s size was impressive, offering plenty of space to spread out. The only downside was the wicker furniture, which looked nice but wasn’t the most comfortable for extended sitting. That said, it didn’t affect my overall enjoyment of the stay.Princeville’s location is perfect for those seeking peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of Kauai’s larger areas. We were close to beautiful beaches where we saw turtles and seals. Though it’s a bit of a drive to reach other parts of the island, the serenity of being in Princeville made it well worth it.Overall, this condo offered everything we needed for a relaxing and memorable stay on Kauai. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to escape to paradise!

We had an amazing stay at this very special place! The location is perfect for walking to secluded beaches and is very quiet. The unit is tastefully decorated and well stocked with lots of beach chairs and equipment. The bedding is high quality and the beds were very comfortable. The hosts communicated promptly and their suggestions for activities and restaurants were wonderful. We are already planning a return trip!

Communication with the property management company was great! Location was great! We loved Princeville!Condo had a washer and dryer which was very helpful to us since we adventure a bit and get dirty. Main bathroom was very nice. Bed was large and very comfortable. TVs were very small, but who actually watches TV on vacation in Hawaii anyway?Disappointed that a window was hit by a golf ball and boarded up which impaired our view from the condo. Wasn't anyone's fault (other than the golfer).Not ideal that the AC is only in the bedroom. Fortunately, the weather was mild and the rest of the condo stayed relatively cool.Only other issue was that the pool was cold and the hottub was under repair and could not be used.Would book through the property management company again and definitely stay in Princeville, but probably not in this same condo.

all was great. Unit is well stocked with all you need. Great location. One issue, the VRBO list this as a 4 bedroom but it was really a 3 bedroom. I contacted the host and they got it fixed.
