Loads of supplies in the kitchen cupboards and for the beach
A view to die for!
Best location in Princeville for under $1000 a nigh IMO
Everything was spic and span, with my only con being that clothes came out of the dryer smelling very musty if left overnight...

This condo was the right choice! It was bright, airy, spacious, nicely decorated. Everything you would want to have in your own beach house was provided. With the 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, couch, there was plenty of room and supplies for our family of 6.
There were boogie boards, snorkeling supplies, beach towels, outdoor toys. There is a pretty little garden by the lanai with plumeria etc, and the lanai backs into a large shared grassy field where the kids enjoyed playing baseball. For adults, we lived just hanging out and relaxing in the lanai.
Wonderful kitchen! Nearby Foodland made it easy to cook and eat in, saving a bit to offset the cost of stay and activities. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking dishes, serving dishes, small appliances, and some seasonings and oils.
The area is spectacular. We didn’t find the private path to hideaway beach, but the standard trail from the road at a nearby resort is a short walk, about 15 minutes total from room to beach. Both Hideaway beach and Hanelei are beautiful.
We came in August, with daytime highs in the low 80s. With fans on and windows open, it was comfortable, noting that we are from Texas and keep our home thermostat at 77, so some may find it too warm without ac.
Overall, we were delighted, and I wish we could stay forever!

Everything as advertised.Perfectly accommodating for two people. Newer appliances, especially the induction stove, took some time to learn. The ceiling fans kept the unit cool throughout the day. The furniture was comfortable. Finally, an unbeatable view made our stay memorable. I highly recommend this rental.

When you walk in the front door the first thing you see are the beautiful mountains and the azure ocean waves. Then the Nene birds come cruising by to say hello and walk right up to you, amazing!!!! I could have stayed on the patio the whole trip

The views from this condo are AMAZING! It is only a couple minute walk to both Hideaway Beach and the One Hotel Beach. The furniture was comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Since it was the end of July, it was nice to have air conditioners in the bedrooms.

We were very pleased with our stay at Pali Ke Kua 10, building 12. The condo unit was large for our needs (family of four), well equipped, and clean. We opted for a unit that was not ocean view because of the price point. Since we had beach access, ocean views within a few yards, and still beautiful Mountain View’s from the lanai, we felt good with that compromise. I was pleased that there was plenty of beach equipment available for our use. The condo was warm but with the use of ceiling fans, and several floor fans that were provided, we were comfortable. Utilize the shutters around the entire condo and keep those open and it won’t be as stuffy. The trundle bed upstairs was a little squeaky but we lowered it and it wasn’t too bad. But neither upstairs beds were too comfortable, according to my girls. However, they slept fine-just took a little adjusting to what they were used to back home. The furniture seemed to be in good shape. However, I did find myself choosing to rest on my bed as opposed to the living room when we were at the condo. I don’t know if that’s because we were tired (time change) or just the fact that there were only two sofas and it just doesn’t feel quite as accommodating to a family of four to share the two sofas. An extra chair would be nice. Or maybe bar stools at the counter. The property grounds were well maintained, the pool was a nice break from the ocean/sand, the restaurant was convenient, and being in Princeville was also nice. We enjoyed being able to walk easily to the Hideaways beach public trail, and even walking over to Queens Bath. The Pali Ke Kua paved trail was a wonderful perk. I would recommend Pali Ke Kua resort and condo 10!

From the beautiful view to the spotless condo upon arrival this place was perfect for me and my husband. The trail down to the beach is right in front ofnthe condo so its super convenient to walk down there. Plenty of snorkel gear, beach chairs, ice chests. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking meals. There are spices and a little olive oil. They also start you off with a little coffee for the next morning and a bottle of white wine. Lastly communication with the property management group was great. They checked in on us and were quick to respond. I would be happy to rent from them directly in the future!

This complex provides for an easy stroll along a bluff, providing awesome nightly sunsets. The unit does not have Ac (most on north shore do not), but had plenty of fans which were great.
The property management company is in Central America. So when we asked about a lack of beach chairs or ice trays for the fridge, they told me it wasn’t in the contract. They did get ahold of owner and get us chairs which worked out.
Lastly, no gas bbq!!! Walking 10-15 down a steep trail which needs charcoal or using an electric bbq for your fresh fish or meet from Costco simply is a deal killer!

We just returned from a fantastic week's stay at this gorgeous condo. It was very clean, and looked just like the pictures. Steve was a very gracious host and gave us a lot of recommendations ahead of time as to things to do, beaches to visit and restaurants to dine in. He even left us a very thoughtful welcome gift. The kitchen was so well set up, that we ended up eating most meals at the condo. We did have dinner at B's, had a couple of great pizzas at Hideaways and headed to Poipu one day to eat lunch the Grand Hyatt. We also went tubing down a mountain canal - it was so fun - highly recommend it, but reserve early! We had all the comforts of home (thank goodness for the portable air conditioning units, it did get a little toasty a couple of the days) and truly enjoyed our stay. Nights on the lanai were perfect and I got some of the most gorgeous sunset pictures. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Steve and his condo to anyone looking for a lovely stay in Princeville. We will definitely be back! Thank you, Steve.

This unit is spacious and very well laid out . The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen very well-stocked . There is no grill on property so cooking is limited to oven and cooktop , not ideal for summer meals . No review of this place could omit mentioning the gorgeous view and lovely setting . It felt very private . I would hesitate to bring small children due to the proximity to the steep cliffs . A little later checkout would be helpful as getting all the towels and linens washed by 10 was rushed and a bit stressful .

My wife and I have been lucky enough to return to Kauai year after year for almost thirty years running. We always stay in the Pali Ke Kua complex. The grounds are well kept and the property is pretty quiet. The iconic view from unit #214 can’t be beat. After a late afternoon swim down at Hideaways Beach below the unit, we like to retreat to the lanai for a game of backgammon and a cold drink or two. Teams of paddlers often emerge from beyond the point during this time paddling multi-person canoes across the water just as the sun prepares to drop over the edge of the horizon. As the sun sets, the colors of the sky grow more and more vivid, bathing the mountains and ocean in the most dramatic light. It is quite the sight to behold and a memory that calls us to return again and again. The property management is also very professional, prompt, and easy to communicate with. The unit is as advertised with everything one might need for a comfortable stay on the north shore. (AC would be nice but, to my knowledge, none of the units at Pali Ke Kua offer it as the old-school, early 1970s buildings are not set up for it.)

Amazing views, literally takes your breath away when you step into the condo. Not far from Hanalei Bay. There is a good sized supermarket close by in Priceville as well. Bathrooms were nice and they do provide beach and boogie boards stored in the closet. The kitchen was great, nice appliances and cookware. The one improvement could be around the bed and linens. Needs a refresh for sure, but not a deal breaker.

Unit 245 is a great rental. Location, setting, aesthetics were all fantastic. The unit is stocked as well as your own home. I wanted to heat up my delicious fish from our dinner at 1 Hotel ( amazing and a 3 minute drive away) and they even had parchment paper to use on the cookie sheet to warm it up! The power went out on the island and they had candles and flashlights !! Every single thing you need for daily life much less a very comfortable vaca!! The ONLY things that need to be changed ; please put a set of dresser drawers in the downstairs bedroom!! The cabinet there is beautiful but useless as it is only shelves and would be much more usefull upstairs in the bathroom for towels,etc! Also, please put a curtain or shutter door in front of the stacked washer/ dryer. It's awesome to have it but as a mom, the last thing I want staring me in the bathroom mirror is a washer/dryer. And last but not least, a YALE lock would be so much more useful then the keyed entrance. One, it's annoying to keep up with and also that it has to be dropped off on your way to the airport. In this day and age, I think very few people on vaca want to have that extra hassle. Little things that would make Pali Ke Kua absolutely perfect. Do yourself a favor and use the concierge service, they are wonderful! We booked ziplining ( amazing!) horseback riding ( gorgeous) and had a Napali Coast boat tour but unfortunately it was canceled due to weather. And the snorkeling at Pali Ke Kua resort is Hideaways Beach and is absolutely the best on the Island and the trek down and up is 100% worth it !! Just don't carry too much. It's a hike but very easy and well paved it's just an incline. The path is between bldg 1 & 2 . Kauai is the best island and you will have a great time if you chose to stay here !! And I'm picky ; ) .

This home is decorated nicely. It is apparent that the owners have but quite a bit of effort into furnishing it. The bathrooms have been redecorated and are beautiful. We enjoyed the patio which adjoins a lawn and has an ocean view. The children enjoyed sleeping and playing in the little back den with the sleeper sofa. We were a group of 6 and my husband and I slept in the back bedroom It is beautiful, but small and was cramped, but doable, with us and our luggage.

ReMax coordinates the stay and we didn't receive the door code to access the unit without having to figure out how to communicate with them. Cell service in Princeville is very spotty! When we got to the room it was 87 degrees inside (windows were closed and the 3 portable A/C units were off). It was supposedly a mistake and ReMax did make it right so no biggie in the end. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and the 6 beach towels were large and helpful. The unit also had 4 beach chairs, a cooler and an umbrella. Not to mention an amazing view over the Pacific.

The condo is as advertised and was close enough to everything yet far enough away that we had privacy.
We would have given all categories a five star rating but the check in process feels archaic and old. To have to stop at the office to pick up the keys and to have to drop them off is a bit inconvenient when you are traveling from out of town. It added a layer of stress that isn’t necessary if the condo has a key box or code to enter.

Having stayed elsewhere in Princeville before, we enjoyed the airflow in the condo, as it stayed comfortable all the time in warm July, and we didn't have to use the upstairs AC. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked, and the barbecue was great to have available to use. Really enjoyed the lanai for meals and relaxing. Liked having the pool/hot tub close by, and the beach chairs and other beach gear were handy. A short walk to amazing sunrises and sunset views! Mahalo for your hospitality!

This place is just as advertised. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, great views. I enjoyed walking to 1 Hotel in the mornings for coffee. It is so nice that the owner has all of the beach supplies you need for 6 people including snorkeling gear, beach chairs, umbrella and towels and even a wagon so you can lug it all to the beach. His guide book is thorough with great suggestions and he was open to helping out if we needed him for anything. It's nice that you can walk to your own small snorkeling beach from the property and it's a quick drive to Hanalei and other towns. I would recommend this place for your vacation!

The condo was as advertised. Every morning was coffee on the lanai overlooking the ocean and that was spectacular. It is showing it’s age, needs a little minor TLC and could have less furniture.
