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.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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!

Shirley!!! We had a phenomenal vacation. Your house was beautiful. It more than met our needs. We have stayed in other VRBO’s and yours was superior and welcoming by comparison. Literally everything you could imagine needing in the kitchen! There were extra spices, oils, and basics tha

Loved this place! It was perfect for our family of 4 with 2 kids (4,8). Attached garage was great, tons of space, kitchen had everything you'd need. Great Lanai. Pool area is awesome! Definitely a quiet place as well! The list goes on and on... Loved it!

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.

First week, we were a family of 8. 2nd week we we’re down to 6 Found property easily with directions provided and was in a great location in princeville. We were a little concerned about parking as we were limited to only parking in small double garage and 2 compact cars wouldn’t get us and luggage from airport. We rented a dodge mini van and dodge 7 passenger suv. It was a very tight fit but we made it work..(had couple spotters when parking for the night.) property manager responded quickly by text when we had questions. Pool and hot tub(seemed to be having issues with heater on hot tub)were great and had the right amount of shade/sun. Would definitely stay again if we would come as a larger group:)

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location. Every amenity you could imagine - even more than we have at our house! One complaint would be the master bedroom faces another property across the street, which turns their fountain off at night. A loud motor comes on intermittently, which, ironically, sounds like a bullfrog. Very noisy and irritating when you’re trying to enjoy a quiet tropical vacation. Mentioning this for those who are sensitive to noise. I would recommend earplugs if using that bedroom.

Property was amazing. We had a wonderful time. So appreciated pull out coach in office for our 15 yr old grandson. Working with Remax was easy, had all information needed. Only concern was fitting 2 large cars in garage. It was a puzzle but we figured it out.

Very nice accommodation in the perfect location. Very comfortable beds. I appreciated the basic kitchen food items that were allowed to remain from previous renters. Kitchen also well stocked with cooking utensils!!! Lots of ocean toys and beach chairs! I would definitely recommend and stay again!!

We had a fantastic stay!! The condo has plenty of space for everyone in our party- we had teenagers, adult children, and a grandbaby at various times. We also had everything we would want as far as kitchen supplies and beach towels etc. The pictures show a variety of beach items in the garage and it was disappointing to learn that not all of them were available for our use. The furniture shows some wear and can be uncomfortable as a result but we didn’t spend a lot of time inside. It would also be nice to have had spare linens for when we washed the sheets and towels during our stay. The pool was convenient and beautiful and the rental company was very responsive. Princeville is lovely and we will stay again!!

We really enjoyed our time on the island and the condo gave us a great place to relax after all our adventures. The beach gear in the garage was a wonderful addition and made beach days amazing. Kayak Wailua took us on a great paddle trip up the river and hike to the water falls, highly recommend a guided trip with them. Loved zip lining with Kauai Backcountry, would do that again and again. The beaches are amazing. Can't wait for the next trip.

This was a perfect vacation home for our family of six. It was very clean and spacious with many amenities. It is located in a beautiful area close to beaches, grocery store, and beautiful Hanalei with restaurants and shopping. We used the grill at the pool and prepared many meals in the well equipped kitchen. It was great to have a cooler, ice packs, chairs, snorkel gear, and boogie boards all available for those many beach days. It is simply a great home, in a great location, on a beautiful island.

Beautiful facility. Had a wonderful time. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was fully stocked with more than enough items. Wery close to pool 👍 Water feature across street kept the master bedroom sleepers up all night. It wasnt the water itself it was the pumps running the water. They sounded like bullfrogs. Other than that the property was perfect.

We had an amazing time. I will definitely stay at this condo again and also refer friend's. It was such a beautiful location. Very quiet and close to some restaurants. We even went to the farmers market in the neighborhood. We talked to several people while using the pool and hot tub. Everyone was so friendly. We ate out on our deck each morning and the trees snd shrubs were so lush you didn’t really see other people on their decks.

The amenities of swimming pool, jucuzzi and barbecues were beautiful and well maintained as was the entire Nihilani community with the exception of Condo 24C were 3 generational family of seven spent a 10 day vacation. The inside of the condo was very dirty and lacked basic maintenance. For example, the deck slider would barely "slide" and the screen slider was badly torn. Potted plants on the deck were dying due to lack of water and care. The kitchen/bathroom cabinet doors fell off. Bathroom floors had dried urine and sand/pebbles strewn about. Several window shades were broken. Bedding appeared "slept in" . Carpeting and walls were dirty. Master bath shower leaked water on the floor when used since the rubber edging was torn and the soaking tub had no stopper. All counter surfaces were dirty. I spent two hours cleaning upon our arrival before we could unpack our personal clothing and items. I requested a return of the cleaning fee since the unit hadn't been cleaned upon our arrival. The property manager was uncooperative and said I should have given them a chance to correct the problems. I did contact! My family would have needed to vacate the property for them to repair the neglected maintenance and deep clean the unit. There is also a 2-car garage available for use with cigarette butts strewn about. Overall, an uncomfortable condo. However, the condo itself is beautiful and well appointed just severely neglected in terms of cleaning and maintenance repair.
