If you want to stay on the north shore, this is a great place to stay. The condo was clean, well stocked, had plenty of space, very comfortable, and the pool/jacuzzi was fantastic. It's just a few minutes to Hanelei Bay, which was our favorite thing in the area.As far as area, there doesn't seem to be as many restaurants/ shopping as the south shore, or maybe we just didn't know where to look. And we kept having to drive to the south shore for different adventure tours we had booked (and the traffic jams/low speed limits are no joke). But the north shore is SO beautiful. It's a real toss up!

Great home. Lots of space, clean and all the beach items you could ever want. I rented 2 other condos during our stay for our entire family and everyone ended up gathering here at the end of the day. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend this rental. The place was huge, lots of room to hang out inside or have coffee on the patio in the morning and do some people watching. It has everything you need in the kitchen and everywhere else. The neighborhood is quiet, clean, and safe. We loved taking walks in the area. The grocery store is just a few minutes drive away as well as restaurants. Hope to be back some day!

Our family stayed her for 4 days. All the pics are accurate. Good location. Place feels modern and fresh. Really appreciated that every cooking tool we possibly could have thought of was here and easily accessible. Beds were comfortable, and porch was a really nice way to spend down time. Also appreciated the beach chairs, towels, cooler etc. We had some minor trouble on arrival when the door lock battery had gone dead, delaying entry, but the manager/owner was so responsive that she arrived within 5 minutes to help us in. Nothing but good things to say about this place.

Beautiful, generally well maintained condo. Neighboring Hanalei is very nice with good beach and lovely sunsets.
Minor critiques:
Somewhat distant from airport and tourist locations on the southern end of the island.
Master bath had minor mold that could be removed.
Queen bedroom bath needs to have shower diverter valve replaced. It limited the water flow to the shower head.
But overall a very nice place.

Our family of 6 included my husband and I, plus older kids ages 16 - 20. The condo is clean, well stocked and much larger than it looks in the pictures. Great location with lots to do within walking distance, including golf, disc golf (which the kids enjoyed), Queen's Bath, turtle cave, and Hideaway beach. Short drive to Hanalei. Would definitely stay here again!

My son and I went on a guys trip only to Hawaii. My wife found us this property and it could not have been better. It was clean, plush, and had a ton of things you would not find in a VRBO and more likely to have in your own home (like a Vitamixer). We had a great time and would encourage you to check this property out.

We stayed for three nights (wished it was longer) with our kids 18 and 20 years old. The condo is spacious and beautifully decorated. We especially enjoyed the lanai for early morning coffees and leisurely afternoon lunches. The condo is incredibly well stocked from kitchen amenities to movies to games to beach gear. I usually don’t write reviews, but my daughter insisted I do so because we had such a wonderful time. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location with lots of amenities. Doreen is a great host and is super responsive and helpful. We had a little mishap when we arrived due to a mistake in their calendars but they were responsive and immediately took care of the situation. The complex is centrally located and absolutely stunning. We will return and hope we can stay here again.

Let’s start with the positives: this location is right across from the HOA pool that also has gas grills available for residents. We loved grilling our burgers there and eating poolside. It’s so easy to load everything up, walk out the front door of the VRBO and walk right into the pool.
The guest suite in the house is large and the bed is comfy. The other "king" bed in the house is actually a twin day bed with a trundle. It is in the family room...no closet. But there is also a bedroom with a double bed on the same level, and it has a closet. It worked out fine for us--we have two teenage daughters, who slept on the daybed and trundle, and one teenage son who slept on the double bed.
The beach towels and chairs were nice to have for frequent visits to the beach (Hanalei Beach was our favorite for suntanning and playing in the waves; Anini Beach is better for snorkeling but the water is not very deep over the coral).
The home could use more bath towels. More beach towels would be great but there were only 5 or 6 bath towels in a home designed to sleep 5 or 6 people.
We also appreciated having a garage door opener we could take with us in the rental car when we went places. I set a reminder on my phone to leave it in the VRBO when we checked out.
The A/C does not work. We are used to tropical climates, so we kept some windows open and used the many fans to keep air circulating throughout the house. It worked for us, but may not work for others.

We had a great stay with my family. The condo was spacious, clean, comfortable beds, and had bikes, boogey boards, a cooler, and beach chairs to use which served us great. The condo is in a great location in Princeville for all north shore activities and the association pool and hot tub are gorgeous. This is a great way to stay on the north shore.

We booked the VRBO to stay for two nights before our company group trip started at a nearby resort. The property was super convenient, clean, and communication was great! The kitchen was stocked with EVERYTHING you could possibly need. One of the bikes pictured was being repaired so we were not able to take advantage of that amenity since there were 4 adults and only 3 bikes. I would recommend renting a car (or using an app like Turo) when visiting as there were no Uber/Lyfts available. The grocery store wasn't far but carrying back our items was a challenge. Overall, great experience and would for sure book again!

Amazing house. Lots of space and well pointed. Extras like beach chairs, towels and snorkeling gear. Only down side is that the back of the property is on a busy road with constant traffic. But you have a great view of the golf course and mountains!

This condo was mostly clean and in a convenient location near Hanalei and the north shore beaches. It overlooks the neighborhood pool and has a small outdoor patio. Everyone in our party had complaints about the uncomfortable beds and living room furniture. Also, one bathroom door wouldn't close completely and the shower heads were not clean. With a few updates, I would consider staying here again.

A great place to relax and be central to everything North shore! Close to all the shops, activities, restaurants and sight seeing you need. If you want to go any where else its also easy access and the place has all the amenities and comfort like home. My family and In-laws were comfortable and we had a great time! Highly recommended.

The property was perfect. Great location, lots of things to do from here. We went on a boat tour, ATVing, hiking, swimming, complex pool and hot tubs were great. Simply one of the best vacations with my kids. Having a garage for the rental car sealed the deal. We would definitely come to this unit again.

This property is modern and spacious and is inside a large complex of condo units. The grounds are well cared for and the unit is directly across from the pool and hot tub.
The Princeville area is the northern most tip of the island about 45mins from airport. Everything on the island is accessible by car but from this area anything you want to do on the south coast is 1:45 away.
The condo inside is beautiful and large with everything provided to make for a comfortable stay. If we were to have any complains, and believe me they are minor, I would have to say the living room furniture is not super comfortable. We had 4 people watching movies at night and all of us found it a butt numbing experience. The other small complaint would be the pool temperature. Not sure if the pool is heated but it was very cool every day we used it.
These 2 small things would not stop us from staying again as the unit is large and beautiful. Would highly recommend.

Overall an outstanding experience. Communication with our host Natalie was great and she made the check-in and check-out process a breeze. The property's Princeville location was perfect for accessing all parts of the island. The unit was clean and comfortably housed 7 adults. The garage was large enough for our gigantic rental vehicle (Chevy Suburban). The 3 bedrooms were perfect for the 3 couples in our group, although the Zen Den was a little tight for our single traveler. The open concept on the main floor was perfect for meals, cocktails, playing cards and hanging out with the family and the multiple lanais were nice for coffees and nightcaps. The close proximity to the grills was nice for food prep and the in-unit dishwasher, washing machine/dryer made clean up easy. The property also had everything you need for a day at the beach (towels, chairs, coolers, masks, snorkels, fins, boogie boards, foldable pull carts etc.)
Highly recommended property.

It was just a great place to stay! The parking is a little tight for a Jeep Gladiator but we were still able to get in the garage. :) We had a few bugs in the kitchen area, not surprising for Kauai, but Cathy was quick to help remedy the situation. Loved all the beach gear, laundry room, half bath downstairs, and just that it was homey and comfy.

We all wanted to go back and stay at tutu's. Our future Kauai visits we will be staying here the whole time. The owners were VERY helpful and the communication was perfect. Very nice people to talk too! Perfect in every way!!!!

The beds were so comfortable, the furnishings were high end and the kitchen was fully stocked with anything you need. I can’t say enough about the communication with the owner and property manager. We will definitely rebook this property for any future visits. Dhivya was an amazing owner! You will not be disappointed staying here.

We stayed here with 7 people and couldn’t have been happier. The place seemed much bigger than the pictures make it out to be. We had some friends staying at some of the other condos and this floor plan was the best. It’s all one level once you walk up the stairs to the front door. They had just about everything you need. I would definitely recommend this condo and will absolutely rent it again.

We were blown away at how wonderful the condo was! 4 Adults and an 8 year old stayed there. The condo waas most comfortable. We are used to staying closer to the airport, so this seemed a bit far away from things we were familiar with, but it was a lot of fun exploring things closer to Princeville. Our tme there passed way to quickly!

This was a great vacation rental for our family of 6. There was plenty of room to spread out. There is ample parking, it is quiet and private. The house had everything you need to have the perfect Kauai vacation. The pool, hot tub and grill were a nice bonus. There are several beaches within walking distance or a short drive to the worlds best beaches. We can’t wait to come back.

My fiancé and I brought our kids to stay for their spring break. We were easily able to explore the island and check out the nearby beaches. House is well stocked with kitchen and recreation items. The master bedroom is right on the road so with the doors/windows open you get pretty loud road noise, so we had to keep it all closed, which was too bad because it cooled down nicely in the evening. Beds and linens are comfortable, lots of towels for everyone to use, and overall the family had a great time. Shirley was very responsive and easy to work with.

Second visit to the garden isle and first stay on the north shore. Nihilani 11A is a hidden gem in the heart of Princeville within proximity to the princeville shopping area, half a block away from an amazing pool and short drive to some of the most beautiful beaches Kauai has to offer, including Hanalei bay and Ha’ena State Park beaches. The property was well maintained, clean, and kitchen was fully equipped. The WiFi signal was strong and streaming services were extremely handy at times when we needed to unwind between activities/excursions. We fell in love with this condo and the location. We would book the same unit again in a heartbeat. Mahalo and a hui ho.

After picking up key at brokers office we went to grocery and bout food for the week. Loaded up the refrigerator. Next morning we discovered that it was barely working, freezer not working at all. They knew it was broken and didn’t tell us in advance. Parts had been ordered and it was repaired on day 7 of our 14 day trip. They did communicate after we called them and gave us an allowance for the spoiled food and inconvenience. Overall it’s a lovely property and very comfortable. The lack of communication at first was disappointing. Also the dishwasher needs repair. It is not secured into the cabinet correctly and tips. If you are in a group with 2 vehicles that is a problem with this property there is only one parking space. The owner keeps a vehicle parked in the garage. Pool is very nice and it is an easy walk to restaurants.
