We stayed in this perfectly located Princeville condo for 4 nights in May. The bed was comfy and the kitchen was well stocked. You can't beat the sunset views. It was an easy drive to Hanalei Bay (we loved Postcards Restaurant and the the coffee shop behind Slow Yourself Down) and to Napali Coast Shuttle (need to book a month in advance) If you like to walk there is a paved path along the golf course and the steep path to the beach. The beach below the condo is pretty, but very rocky. To the left of the One Hotel gatehouse and down a lot of well-kept stairs is a great beach with snorkeling, bring the provided equipment. It was an easy walk to the One Hotel for a upscale dinner at One Kitchen (also great views). The reason we gave this condo a 4 is because it's showing its age and could definitely use some TLC. An update on the sliding glass door & screens, new fans (2 of them didn't work), a new beach chair or two, and some new swimfins, would make it even better.

My partner and I stayed here for a week. Waking up the the ocean view was so wonderful. The condo has everything you need. It was a great spot to make day trips to Hanalei or go east to Kilauea. Note that this place does not have AC if that’s important to you. We loved our stay.

They had everything you could need for the beach and it was an excellent spot to sit and watch the sunset. The shades were nice to keep the afternoon heat out of the condo until sunset. The layout was great. Overall a great place to stay.

The condo more than meet our needs. The view was better than the pics and the location was wonderful. The property has its own private access to hideaways beach. Can’t wait to return!

We had a problem with the refrigerator ever since check-in it smelled really bad. There was a bad fish odor coming from the refrigerator was clean. It smelled awful every time you open and close the door let out a smell that went into the kitchen and dining area. We called vacasa to help rectify the situation which they did initially send out a person to clean the refrigerator. But never followed up if the problem was solved which it was not. Every day I was texting vacasa and telling them of the problem. With no correction of the problem. We were on vacation and trying to enjoy all the activities so we were busy so trying to deal with this problem at the same time was not a vacation. We check on a Wednesday night. We text Thursday about the problem Friday text again about the problem and no check out then over the weekend or texts were ignored by the local office. I spoke to a person on Monday and she said she thought the problem was fixed but it was not. I requested a new condo that's how awful the smell was. But nothing was available.
The condo it's self was fine. Dated in wear n tear. We stayed at Pali me kua 4 years ago in a different condo that was much more kept updated. The view was beautiful to sit out and enjoy on the lanai . And the extra bedroom was appreciated along with the air condition and many fans.

This condo is very nicely decorated and clean. The living area and kitchen are very comfortable. The bathroom is clean and modern. The bed however could use an upgrade as both of us felt it was not comfortable. The AC unit in the bedroom is very loud and lacks cooling options that exist on other units. The kitchen is stocked well with diningware and cookware but lacks other simple items that can really put a rental over the top such as paper plates, ziplocs, tupperware. The view from the rental patio is absolutely amazing. Overall a very nice unit to stay.

We stayed in Princeville - Kauai for 15 days. The condo on the beach was absolutely beautiful. Right next to one of my favorite golf courses. Every day we would sit out on the patio having a cocktail and watch the sun set. Absolutely amazing! We plan to go back again soon and we will rent the same condo. It was PERFECT

Our stay at Pali Ke Kua was amazing! The condo was spacious and had everything we needed. The view of the Na Pali coast was amazing to see. Groceries, restaurants and shopping were not a far drive. We used the beach chairs, umbrella and coolers that were in the condo daily. The walking path down to Hideaways Beach is steep and a little rough, but worth the quietness of the beach where we did snorkeling and saw lots of fish and a turtle! We would definitely stay again!

The view is absolutely amAzing!!! The condo is very pleasantly decorated, and has mostly everything one could need.
When looking for the beach chairs - the doorknob fell off at first pull and it was hard to open the bifold door. Once open, we were disappointed to find heavy, metal, unadjustable chairs in long carrying bags. We had to rent 2 Tommy Bahama chairs in Hanalei. Please "splurge" and get those for your renters.
The 2 story condo next door was being completely renovated during our entire stay, we were not informed beforehand. As we like to be out and about most of the day, it wasn't a huge problem, but it would have been much more peaceful without all the noise from early morning into each evening.
The rest of this review concerns Vacasa as management. The foam mattress that Vacasa seems to have in most condos on Kauai are extremely uncomfortable, making for backaches most days, all 3 here are the same. But the biggest issue was no hot water in the showers for 3 evenings. We called each time immediately and were told someone would get back to us the following day. We were not contacted until late day on the 5th day following our 1st call. By then we had hot water so it was a moot point. We were extremely upset at the lack of response from Vacasa for several days. Not acceptable!

Aloha! The ocean view of Bali Hai peninsula was spectacular! Lanai was comfortable for 4 adults. Even though air conditioning wasn’t listed as an amenity there was a small portable unit in one of the bedrooms upstairs. The Kauai breeze through unit made it comfortable though and there were multiple standing fans for our convenience. Texted a few questions throughout our stay and always received a prompt reply. Beautiful clean unit! Adequate pool area and convenient delicious Hideaways Pizza Pub on site. We’d love to rent here again! Mahalo!

We loved our stay at this condo in Princeville! The living space was comfortable and had everything we needed to make ourselves at home, from TP, coffee, paper towels, dishwasher pods and dish soap, to beach chairs, boogie boards and beach towels. But, the best reason to stay here is for that view!! It is just mesmerizing and the sunsets are so beautiful! We would absolutely stay here again

The location is great however the condo needs some attention. Cupboard doors would not fully shut, the shower facet felt like it could fall off at anytime the grout in the bathroom could use a good scrubbing and the toilet lever fell off. For what the owner was charging for the unit these items should not have to be addressed by a guest.

This was our second stay here and it speaks a lot that we wanted to stay here a second time! We were just here in May 2023 and we knew we had to come back. Home renovations just finished last month, I believe, and we loved all of the new updates! Even the beach chairs and beach towels were new! Literally everything is brand new and made it feel very luxurious.Of course we’ll come back a third time, God willing! Thank you Lori and team for always an amazing stay!

Can’t say enough about this place! It was beautiful, the views outstanding! We loved walking to the private beaches… we could have honestly stayed here for weeks! The condo had everything you could need! We didn’t cook, as we weren’t here for long enough but loved having the option. My husband and I would love to come back!
Only thing, super minor and honestly our fault, but wish there was more info in the welcome book. That mentioned the closet upstairs with all the beach goodies. We didn’t see it until we left. It was just the two of us, so we didn’t really go upstairs. Perhaps we missed it in the notes, but would love that to be a highlight!
Thank you for letting us use the beautiful rental! I truly hope we can return.

Very clean , very comfortable bed and sofa ! Amazing sunset over the ocean that we could watch right out our window . Took the path down to hideaway beach and had THE BEST snorkeling experience.. really appreciate that the snorkel gear and cooler were provided ! Fantastic location and we loved taking walks on the beach and around the golf course . Only issue we had was the lock was not working properly but was able to call and speak to someone on person and it was fixed right away. We would definitely return !!

Great North Shore location with a lovely view of the ocean. Pali Ke Kua is a quiet, well maintained complex with Nene geese, a beautiful beach, and a super pizza place. The unit itself has a soiled white carpet, scratched kitchen sink, and foam dining room cushions that are falling apart. The furnishings are old and uninviting. This rental could be excellent if the owners put some thought and investment into it. Not worth $400/night (including taxes, fees and charges). I recommend the condo complex but not this unit, in its present condition. Sorry for the blunt assessment, but maybe it will inspire necessary improvements! 🤠

Starting from the beginning, the check in process wasn’t very smooth. We had to download a 3rd party app to get the check in instructions and communication of this was outside of VRBO.
Once we arrive at the rental, we were initially very impressed with the place. The views were amazing and it was in a beautiful area, but our perception changed quick when we encountered some issues.
After a little bit, we noticed that due to the tropical nature of the place there were a lot of small bugs around the property. There were a bit of gnats and flies throughout the place.
After we got settled, we see 2 cockroaches in the living area. We communicated this with management and they sent someone to drop off some traps. However, on the second night, we then again found another cockroach near our toddler’s crib. We understand it’s a tropical place, but we’ve never had this issue in the past when visiting the island. Due to the amount of bugs and dirty property, we decided that this place was not for us and left prematurely. Overall a beautiful area, but would not recommend due to the cleanliness.
