What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 341 Guest Reviews


Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Travelers consistently love the serene Princeville setting and sweeping views over the Makai golf course to the ocean. Many mention unforgettable sunrises, cool trade winds, and the chance to spot albatross, Nēnē, and other birds right from the lanai. The location is a strong highlight: it’s a quiet neighborhood with easy walking paths and a short drive to North Shore favorites like Hanalei Bay and Anini; Sealodge Beach is a nearby, steeper trail. The pool is described as clean and often uncrowded, and the overall vibe is peaceful and friendly—great for couples, families, and honeymooners.

Inside, most units are clean, comfortable, and well equipped. Guests frequently praise well‑stocked kitchens, beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, coolers), in‑unit laundry, and comfortable beds. Many hosts earn high marks for clear communication and quick responses. Note that some units have compact kitchenettes better suited to light meals, while others have full kitchens ideal for cooking in.

Common trade‑offs reflect the island and low‑rise condo build: most units lack central A/C (some have bedroom units), and while breezes usually keep things pleasant, several guests found living areas warm and humid in summer or when trades die down. Sound can carry between floors, so occasional footstep noise is noted despite generally quiet surroundings. A minority mention dated finishes or small maintenance items (screens, sliders), occasional ants/roaches typical of the tropics, spotty Wi‑Fi, and limited direct beach access (plan to drive or use the steep trail). Stairs and dark nighttime arrivals can be factors. Overall sentiment is strongly positive—guests find this a restful, scenic home base and many say they’d happily return.

My wife and I just got back from our honeymoon on Kauai and it was amazing. The VRBO was incredible. Watching the sunrise over the ocean was our favorite. The host was great to work with and quick to respond if we had any questions. You won’t regret staying here!

We loved our stay at this condo. It’s very comfortable and cozy, clean, and well-stocked. The kitchen had everything we needed to do a lot of meal prep. We really appreciated the extras like beach chairs, towels, and sand toys. The location is great, about 10 minutes to Hanalei Bay and close to the highway to explore the island. The neighborhood is extremely quiet and all the residents we met were very friendly and welcoming. The pool is fantastic and we were often the only ones there.One tip - if you’re arriving on a late flight, know that the area is very dark, so a good flashlight will help as you’re getting your bearings and finding the condo for the first time.

We had a great stay, and no issues. We didn't spend a lot of time at the rental, but the time we did was enjoyable.

This beautiful condo was a wonderful stay away from home. It is sitting right on the 15th hole of the golf course with a view of the ocean. The trade winds keep the cool air flowing through this unit and has a very nice and very private lanai where you can bird watch, drink coffee, eat meals, watch the sunrise over the ocean and breath in the lovely tropical air. Keep the screen doors closed as there are ghecko's, they are cute and friendly. There are cardinals, geese, egrets all over the course. And the true treasure which absolutely made our trip worth while was the baby albatross (Mukalele) nested in view of our lanai. We watched her stretch out her wings, preen and be fed by both parents. I cried when we had to leave her behind... We wished her a safe flight around August and when she is fully ready to fly. It was a true nature show here. We found peace here. I cannot say enough good things about this wonderous place and our hostess, Pamela. We recommend Wishing well shave ice, coffee and Acai bowls for breakfast. We found local farms stands, and shopped the local shops and snorkeled both Tunnels and Anini beaches. We watched the sun set on Hanalei pier and enjoyed the Brazillian food truck as well as Holy Grail Donuts. Life on Kauai doesn't get better than this. This condo has a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable bed and spacious bathroom and shower. it has two very nice lanai area's and an extended living area. Thank you (Mahalo) Pamela... So very much!

Amazing place and location. Was very clean and well cared for. Would stay again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Located right on the golf course, we took advantage of morning and evening walks since the golf course really wasn’t busy. Great sunrises and walking trails in the neighborhood. We walked each day down to the resort at the end of the road for a dip in the ocean with great views of Hanalei Bay. The only downside was an upstairs neighbor who appeared to walk on her heels, but that was the only blemish on an otherwise fantastic stay.

The condo was clean and nicely furnished. One of the A/C units was duct taped and not fully working but was replaced by the owner the day after we arrived. Even with the repair and a bonus box fan he brought, the unit was uncomfortably hot for 5 of the 6 days we were there. If trade winds are a thing, they did not blow during our entire stay. The shower door was missing so we had to fight off a shower curtain all week in the master bath. There is no beach access unless you want to hike through private areas and past no trespassing signs- so plan to drive about 15 minutes. Bugs were also a problem (and they are masked by the countertop pattern), so were were not able to buy much food or fully use the kitchen. We even packed up our belongings to allow for insect treatment during our stay and saw more bugs after treatment than before. We had a fantastic condo later on another island which only confirmed how difficult our stay in this one truly was. If you are sensitive to heat or humidity, do your research. This unit is located in a super rainy area and main living space (kitchen/dining/sofa area) temps were running about 85 F at best. Kauai was beautiful and we were able to see most of the island, but we did not have a comfortable place to relax at the end of a long day.

The location property was nice. Beautiful views. The overall property is a quiet setting. However the conversion of this townhouse created issues of paper thin walls and faulty electrical switches. The shower drain was clogged on day one, which we fixed. Definitely not a place to stay 7 nights in.

We loved our stay in Kauai!! We definitely will return. Our host was great between our communications before and during trip, to helpful tips and make special accommodation for us. The condo clean, great location and was equipped with all your needs for a fun day at the beach or an evening in with wine and a sunset. I would recommend her and her place for your next stay in Kauai

My friend and I enjoyed our stay. Stairs for the 2 of us Senior were a challenge with luggage but we persevered. A quiet, well stocked, clean apartment. Grounds were immaculate and loved the roister and his brood

Such a beautiful location and relaxing place to stay on our honeymoon. I still dream about being back here in Kauai with the windows open, the sea breeze lightly blowing, and the sound of the ocean in the background. The property had all the amenities we needed as well and was just the right amount of space for us. We especially loved playing games on the porch. Highly recommend!

The kitchen facilities were great. It made it enjoyable to prepare our meals and eat on the lanai . We found the townhome to have all the amenities needed for our stay including a nice soft bed . Access to walk the golf course after hours was a highlight. It created a quiet and secluded experience with lots of close beaches

The property was great and the expansive views were amazing! We enjoyed mornings and evenings on the lanai overlooking the golf course and the ocean beyond. We saw albatross and lots of other birds. The king bed was comfortable and my friend said the daybed in the living room was as well. Easy parking and - a close drive to multiple beaches, Hanalei and Kilauea too. The only negative was that we could hear the upstairs neighbors walking around. I would definitely stay here again though!

Beautiful condo with a wonderful location. Exactly as advertised and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.There are 2 issues we had:1) the sliding screens on the screen doors need to be replaced. Essentially they are non functional.2) you can hear the people in the unit above. They were quiet and respectful but you can hear them walking around their unit. Not their fault.

We had a great time staying here. It was exactly what we were looking for and we would definitely book here again!

The location and amenities were wonderful. However, when we checked in around 6 or 7 PM, the place wasn't cleaned. The bed was unmade, the bathroom was messy, and the bathtub was backed up. I contacted the hosts, who promptly fixed the issues within an hour. While it was inconvenient because we were tired, the cleaning crew arrived quickly, and by the time we returned from dinner about 2 hours later the place was perfect. The hosts handled it well, and I would rebook with them again. Thank you for the quick fix.

great location, in a quiet neighborhood on the northeast end of the beautiful Princeville, so you don't have these roosters to wake you up early AM! it locates on the side of Makai golf course with a stunting view of the ocean just steps away, actually, you can see the ocean from the bedroom window. the ground is well maintained with a beautiful garden, they have few resident albatrosses dancing around, with their furry new baby. the unit is well organized, kept and clean, filled with all the amenities that you could need in the kitchen, also has plenty of beach activity equipment as well. the host Pam is very prompt, courteous, and extremely friendly. love to come back someday and stay there again on the garden isle

Lovely little condo on the top floor, easily cooled with open windows and fans. Groundskeeper and maintenance impeccable, not a cockroach or ant invasion in sight. Quiet neighborhood, though the nenes and albatross compete with chickens!

We really enjoyed our stay in this home. It worked perfectly for our plans on the island. Some of our favorite things:-very cool in the evening with the windows open and the breeze.-no excessive chicken noise in the AM. (my first stay in Kauai in 2019 came with roosters aggressively waking us up at 5am)-chairs, ice chest, etc. for beach trips-location: convenient close to Hanalei Bay, a partial ocean view, and beautiful sunrises.

This location on the north end of the island has the most spectacular views of not only the ocean but the golf course as well. Walking distance into town for dinner and local shops! The bed was very comfortable and the linens were soft..you can see the stars above from the window at night. It made for a great night's rest along with the ocean waves crashing in the distance. Sounds are carried easily due to the year built, but all in all great stay. The host was very accessible which made for an easy check-in and check-out.

Location of the property was excellent, enjoyed the many great walks and beaches. Nice and quiet, no disturbances. Downside was that the unit was a little dated and needs some maintenance work on the window screens, leaky bathroom fixtures, and one air conditioner that was not working properly. Overall though, we had a good stay at the Kamahana Condos

This was a very well stocked condo with a premium view of the ocean. I brought earplugs just in case of unexpected noise (I bring these along for the plane and all vacations because you just never know when you will have a noisy upstairs neighbor or barking dog), but the condo was so quiet I didn't need them once. The condo's pool was a nice bonus and hardly any people around. The owners are very responsive and when I messaged them with an issue inside the condo they responded immediately and sent help. Much appreciated. It was very clean, plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, kitchen items, literally everything you could want. Thank you for letting us stay.

Cozy with wonderful views. The condo has everything you need to have a wonderful stay. The lanai looks out over a huge umbrella tree and fragrant flowers are all over the property. Coffee on the lanai in the mornings with the many tropical birds is a joy! The area is very quiet and peaceful. The bedroom has windows all around the front and side, with a view across the green golf course to the ocean! The kitchen is small but is fully efficient. The washer/dryer in the unit is a great amenity. The fans keep the condo cool and there is no need for air conditioning. It actually gets very cool in the evenings due to the ocean breezes.The swimming pool on the property is well maintained and we enjoyed it. There are stairs to the second floor condo as you enter the unit but even with my back and knee issues there was no problem getting up and down the stairs. Pamela is a wonderful hostess and owner! We loved our stay and highly recommended this property!
