The area was nice but this location did not have air conditioning and was very noisy. The room was right next to a busy road and there was traffic late into the night, which was annoying because without air conditioning we had to keep all the windows open. There were also a bunch of ridiculous fees if there was something done against the ridiculous rules of the property… like hanging towels outside. Would not recommend to anyone.

We stayed for five nights with our family ages 8 to 70. The rental had great books for relaxing, a well stocked kitchen for a couple nights of home cooking, a very close and clean pool, a beach box with all of the options (snorkels, chairs, umbrellas, floaties, sand castle makers, etc.) We walked to Willey’s beach for a quiet morning stroll and that was a bonus to have a beach within walking. Everything else seemed to be 10-15 minutes away driving - very convenient.The only tricky thing was parking if we got home after 6pm. The lot fills to the brim but there is good overflow parking if you know that is allowed. Lots of flowers and wildlife (pictured) for close-to-the-house adventures.

This studio was/is perfect for 1/2 people. The photos on line did not do it justice. It had everything you would need and then some. The bed/furniture were comfortable and the most beautiful beaches were a short walk/drive away. I have price shop the rentals for years and the cost for this studio was very reasonable. The only problem I had was with the lock box-only because I went to the wrong box-I even had my glasses on-contacted the the designated person-very helpful-even had a follow up visit by a very nice lady to ensure I was good to go. The only draw back I initially had was when I read the”rules& regulations” then I read some of the ratings starting with the lowest and moving on up. The good HEAVILY overshadowed the bad. The “rules & regulations” were reasonable it just needed to be “toned” down. Would I stay here again..that’s a BIG YES.

We stayed here for five nights in May 2025. We were incredibly underwhelmed and disappointed. The cleanliness of the property was hard to overlook and took away from the overall experience in a beautiful place. Communication with the property manager was not great. Taking three different instances of reaching out before receiving a response. The price was attractive, however, it made us wish we would have spent a little more to stay somewhere more comfortable. Here are some of the issues we noticed:Dead bug in the bed sheets did not inspire confidence that the unit had been cleaned recently. There was old residue on the fridge and a very shaky handle that felt like it could fall off at any point, a dirty toilet brush next to the toilet, the toilet took basic plumbing skills to flush each time as it wouldn’t fill correctly. The screen above the kitchen sink was broken and we were treated with There is a washer and dryer and there was no way to seal the window to avoid unwanted visitors coming through. There is a washer and dryer in the unit. Graciously, they gave us just three pods of laundry detergent which obviously isn’t enough for four people staying for a week. In good faith I could not recommend staying at this property for anyone.

The condo was really nice, including both interior features and decor and the beautiful landscaping surrounding the unit on all sides, providing plenty of privacy and fresh air. The unit is very close to the (steep) trail down to Wyllie Beach, but there is no ocean view. Property management was very responsive and easy to contact. It's very close to food and hardware stores. I definitely would recommend it to others. I wish a list of restaurant suggestions/recommendations had been provided.

The condo is well located in Princeville—with convenient food shopping within walking distance and good restaurants nearby in Hanalei (about a 5 minute drive), including great coffee, poke, and shaved ice. Terrific beaches, snorkeling, kayaking, paddling all close by the condo too—we loved Anini beach especially for snorkeling, seeing lots of sea turtles. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked—and the porch is lovely in the early morning and evenings. Lots of roosters around—they tend to be on their own time clock—so they will sometimes wake you at 3 am—and that will be the case anywhere you stay in Kauai—just be aware! The back of the condo is close to a road—so there were some traffic noises—but nothing later than 10 pm and none in our party found that it interfered with our use or enjoyment of the condo. The grounds of the condo are beautifully landscaped, and the pool is often empty—and lovely in the late afternoon. I would not rely on the snorkeling equipment provided by the host—you really need to be fitted—snorkeling equipment is inexpensive to rent lots of places. The host’s beach chairs were great—as were all the beach towels provided. The washer/dryer was super helpful! The host was responsive and helpful—we were not the most organized of guests, unfortunately. I would stay at these accommodations again—no concerns.

The condo was exactly as listed...maybe better. Great location and easy to get anywhere on the island. Numerous beaches, shopping and hiking nearby. The condo was very clean and well stocked. There was a great starter supply of toilet paper/soap and paper towels.The grounds and pool area are beautifully landscaped.

Exactly like the listing. It was very nice. Upstairs neighbors have heavy feet and the one of the snorkels has a broken diagram. But other than that it was a good experience. Very happy we got to stay and it was very affordable. Thanks Rick, for sharing your home!

Loved staying here for our week long stay in Kauai. The condo was spotless, bed was comfy and it stayed cool despite being warm outside. It's so serene and peaceful, plus having a kitchen at home was great to utilize for making meals when we didn't want to eat out. Tony was such a gracious host and made us feel right at home. He has a ton of beach things (towels, boogie boards, chairs, etc) that were super helpful.

Everything was so gorgeous! It was better in person than on the website and we absolutely loved it! I cannot say enough good things! The best part was coming home after dark and the amazing smells from all of the fragrant plants surrounding the condos - I already miss it!

We loved our stay here! The location was perfect ! Close to Foodland for delicious Poke, an ice cream shop and not to far from someGreat hikes. The condo was clean with super cozy beds & the swimming pool was great too. If you’re like me and go to bed earlier than most I do recommend ear plugs and a sleep mask. Noise wasn’t too bad except for there was one extra excited kiddo who was running laps upstairs he did settle down after our first night stay and we proceeded to get great sleep and rest for the remainder of our trip.

Wonderful location & beautiful pool! Space has everything one we need. Only hiccup was the toilet would have trouble flushing and there is no AC and the fans don’t keep the upstairs cool enough so 2 of us ended up sleeping on the floor in the living room.

Management/property managers were non existent when issues came up immediately after arrival. You are forced to speak with someone from another country who owns this rental from a mother company. They therefore are not interested in resolving anything. Conflicting information about parking. We spent an hour on the phone explaining that all of their literature says ample free parking but they refused to give us more than one parking pass. There was no working stovetop upon arrival. The presence of a hot plate meant they were aware that our party of EIGHT didn’t have a working stovetop and that we were expected to use that hot plate instead, for cooking all of our meals. Missing smoke detectors. One was randomly placed on dresser. Bbq grill was full of grease and hadn’t been cleaned in months, which lead to a very dangerous situation when we lit it. Photos in ad show different furniture that was not present in unit. Consistent stream of water leaking from downstairs guest bathtub faucet. During a time of water conservation and regulation on Kauai. We saw no one during our time here. No one came to check or fix anything. Even after one employee said someone was coming to look at the stove. We saw no one and nothing was fixed. Pick a different company and definitely pick a different unit. A minimal and laughable partial refund was given to us for our trouble. I’m guessing this was their version of hush money.

We had a wonderful stay. The townhouse had all appliances and beach gear we needed. The only 2 problems we had were the step down to the livingroom and master bedroom was about 10” and a tripping hazard for our older friend. The other was the noisy upstairs neighbors, they stomped around and scooted chairs alot

My husband and I stayed at this property in a larger condo complex after backpacking the Napali coast for three nights. It was a perfect respite and retreat! The host has the condo fully stocked with anything you could want or need: a fully stocked kitchen, nice granite countertops, pantry staples and then some. We prepared our own food in the kitchen almost every night. There is a washer and dryer with soap included, castile soap which is perfect for removing zinc oxide (reef safe) sunscreen, full-sized shampoo, conditioner and liquid soap in the shower, a shaded porch with patio chairs, games, puzzles, bluetooth speaker, etc, etc. Also beach chairs, beach towels, snorkel gear. Wow! This unit far exceeded our expectations. The location is great, close to a walking path that takes you to a grocery store, shops and restaurants, and is also quiet. It is a lower-level unit with a unit above and beside, but we had no issues with noise from either units. While staying there, we did not utilize the pool, so we cannot comment on that. The decor is a bit dated, and perhaps overdone a bit, but it is very Hawaiian, colorful and cheerful. My only minor recommendation is that a tea pot (for steeping tea) be added to the kitchen. We would absolutely stay here again if we were to return to Kaua'i.

Probably the best unit on the property. Well laid out. Fantastic deck. Excellent, uncrowded pool. Accurate description and pictures. Dealing with the property manager (Vacasa) needs improvement as they are based in Portland and don’t seem to be able to rely on their local team. In our case there was no Wi-Fi for the entire stay which was challenging for some professional obligations, let alone no tv.

We had a great time here. Plenty of room for our family of 6. The property is a bit dated, but we expected that with reading the previous reviews & cost to other sized units. We loved the pool & all the light high ceilings of this property. Plenty of beach supplies & we sooo appreciate the 3 umbrellas available, as it rained on us every day out of 8. Loved the grill & close proximity to visiting Hanalei. Loved exploring Wyllie’s Beach straight from the property. Easy check in with code provided. Also enjoyed visiting Puu Poa from using the beach parking in Princeton. Not having AC wasn’t a big deal, as the outside temp was usually around 72 & they had fans available. It might be more uncomfortable in the summer.

The unit is exactly as shown in the listing. Very spacious for two adults, in a convenient location for exploring Kauai's north shore. The modern kitchen is very well equipped. Beach and snorkeling gear were provided along with a very helpful guide to area beaches and trails. No AC but fans and good cross ventilation kept us comfortable. Contact with owner was easy. Will stay here again!

Unit is a bit older than the photos make it appear but it is well maintained and clean. The complex has a nice large pool and the unit includes beach chairs, body surfing boards, and snorkeling gear left by past guests which were very convenient. Owners were very responsive, we enjoyed our stay here.
