The rental company was very friendly and accommodating. The view was breathtaking. Aside from the bathrooms, the furniture and equipment are showing their age. In addition, a more thorough cleaning could improve the overall impression.

This was a very comfortable condo to stay in. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable seating, and the bed was very comfortable. Well we’re thrilled to find a full size washer/dryer. For beach excursions there are beach towel, chairs, wakeboards and a cooler. Parking was close, and there was no issue with finding a spot. The management company was extremely responsive to questions/issues. The views of the mountains and ocean are great, and we enjoyed watching sunset every evening from our lanai.

We had a wonderful stay at this condo! The space was clean and perfect for our small family. We loved the location- close to North Shore beaches and the views were amazing! Check in and communication were great. Our daughter loved the lizards and birds.

Our stay at this property was absolutely amazing! The ocean views were breathtaking—we never got tired of watching the waves and sunsets from the lanai. The condo had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and the kitchen was exceptionally well stocked, making it easy to prepare meals. We also appreciated all the thoughtful amenities that made our vacation feel effortless. The location was perfect for exploring Kauai’s North Shore while still feeling peaceful and relaxing. It truly felt like paradise, and we can’t wait to come back!

The condo was perfect for our family of six. It was well stocked, well furnished, clean, and the beds were comfortable. The location was outstanding as the condo has a beautiful view and the Hideaway Beach walkway is a gift! We loved it so much we didn't go to any other beaches. The host was very helpful with hints when we first booked which made booking excursions and planning out our days so much easier. We really enjoyed having the beach gear and appreciated the well stocked kitchen as we ate most of our meals in house. We hope to return! Top Notch!

Loved everything about this place! 2nd time staying in the Pali Ke Kua community and would stay again. Great location convenient to all the North Shore. This place has everything you need for a stay and for your beach days - beach towels, 4 beach chairs, an umbrella and a small cooler. No A/C but plenty of fans. Comfy beds. Communicative and responsive rental management team.

Waking up to 180 degree ocean views was such a treat. Excellent location, fully stocked with kitchen and beach necessities. Some other reviews mention road noise — it really wasn’t an issue for us. Highly recommend.

Great communication with property rental company and local island contact. Great location with ocean views and path to private hideaways beach. Stocked with everything we needed. Pans could be replaced, they were warped which made for uneven cooking. Other than that great set up. Clean and updated. We would stay again!

Was a very nice condo in an excellent quiet location. Have private access to a part of Hideaways beach which was very pretty. Easy walk down a little bit of a steep but paved trail about a quarter mile walk to get to the water. They had beach towels boogie boards and a cooler for our use which was super convenient.

Wonderful little condo!! The air conditioner was greatly appreciated! The kitchen was fully stocked. The beach at the condo was nice but way too steep to bring chairs and cooler comfortably. We just drove to other beaches close by. We had a great time and this was wonderful home base.

Really enjoyed our time at Pali Ke Kua #114. We have stayed at that complex before, but this unit has had a major renovation. Kitchen has everything, bathroom, living room and bedroom are well appointed. Very clean. Appreciated all the design details.

We could not have been happier with our choice of this home, for our 24th anniversary. We knew the view, as we had stayed in the unit below 4 years earlier. But we wanted the privacy of the upstairs unit. Fabulous choice. The place was everything advertised. Well equipped kitchen, and a grill on the lanai! It came with all the beach toys needed. Much appreciated. But, it's all about that view. We closed everything up when we ventured out each day, to keep it shaded. Upon returning, and opening it back up, it was like unwrapping another gift. We will be back.

I want to start this review by saying the views are AMAZING! I sat on the patio and watched both sunrises and sunsets and truly couldn't get over the beautiful scenery. The condo was well equipped with kitchen supplies, beach gear, towels, blankets and necessities to make the stay comfortable and homey. While I am grateful for the air conditioning, the indoor units are very loud and made it hard to sleep and carry conversations while in the room with the unit running. The mattress was extremely broken in and uncomfortable. For price point I did expect a better mattress to be completely honest. The location is beautiful, well manicured and close to shopping and activities. Overall we loved our stay here!

We chose the rental due to the number of actual beds(not a sofa sleeper) and the location. As a family of 5, it was great to have all our children (16,16,17) in actual beds. The condo was perfect, clean and we loved that we could walk to Hideaways Beach(our favorite beach of the trip). When we did have a need during our stay, the host was very responsive. The private beach is quite the hike and was very rocky, I recommend making the 10 minute walk to Hideaways. We did use the pool on our last night. It was well maintained and clean. The pizza pub onsite was great for a day after adventures. This host was great at communication. We had questions along the way and they reached out via phone to connect and answer my questions. They had amazing customer service and we were very pleased with our stay.

The accommodations were exactly was as described in the ad. The host was amazing! We loved the communication she responded so quickly and made our stay even better. The AC was so great on those humid nights. We appreciated all the extras in the codo such as the chairs, umbrellas and toiletries. The location was perfect! We even had a vow renewal ceremony right outside. It was a perfect place to spend a week and we truly enjoyed every moment! I would recommend this place without hesitation. Thank you so much!!!

Lovely development in pretty Princeville with grocery store Foodland and restaurants right next door and stunning views from our unit overlooking Hanalei Bay! Only constructive criticism is that the bathroom (and towels) were very old & tired and should be updated and the kitchen accessories (old unsharpened knives, etc) need to be replaced to reflect the pricing of a luxury rental. Also, the interior rattan furnishings were nice but too big for the spaces (ie the lounge chair did not fit in the living room and awkwardly blocked the sliding glass doors to the outside lawn/lanai and the armoire did not fit in the bedroom, as when opening the doors it bumped into the foot of the bed) But other than that, the Unit was really nice overall and served our needs!

Very nice place. Views are as you would expect, beautiful. Sunset from balcony!! Top floor unit with a loft. It was clean and they left a nice welcoming bag of treats. Nice appliances. Condo gets hot in day from receiving sun all day but cools off once sun goes down. Has portable AC units and fans to help. I would say medium amount of utensils for cooking and low amount of spices for food prep, so if you’re cooking, expect to acquire things. If kids, this didn’t have beach supplies (snorkel, goggles, etc.) like others might have, but it did have nice chairs, cooler, and umbrella. This complex has private access to the east side of hideaways beach, and the path is right by this building! Plus a charcoal grill down the same path with an ocean overlooking. Top floors don’t have a hose for washing sand but there is one in the parking lot. Pizza restaurant on site with pool. Grounds are well kept. Condo unit lacked some blankets. Overall, we would recommend.

We absolutely loved this place and would stay here again in a heartbeat. We were only there for a few days but it felt like a true escape. Princeville is stunning, and this property made the most of every bit of it.The location was perfect and the beach access was a huge bonus, being able to walk straight out and have that crystal clear water at your fingertips made every morning feel like a dream.And the views. Honestly, no photo does it justice. Waking up to that landscape every day was something we won't forget anytime soon.

The place was clean, very outdated. Three of the fans didn’t work. Old appliances and furniture. Only one TV in the living room. Upstairs had a place for a TV, but no TV. When the ceiling fan stopped working the handyman was great! He knew what he was doing and got it working again. The couch was very uncomfortable. The carpet was stained in the downstairs bedroom.

Overall a great experience. Property location and views are spectacular. Close to restaurants, activities, and supplies. Properties cleanliness could be improved. We found and old pizza box in the oven, floors were sticky and found bugs under the sink. We were told that the bugs and sticky floor were normal. We asked property manager to send someone to clean after they offered to correct but no one ever came by.

This was our third time staying at Pali Ke Kua, and first time in this unit. It is the most updated unit we’ve stayed at on the property - nice hardwood floors, updated appliances, and well appointed bathrooms (the past two units had carpet in living and bedrooms). Also, it’s very well equipped to handle the heat (which we were nervous about because the listing said there was no AC). They’ve equipped it with plenty of fans and portable ACs to keep you cool all day and night. There’s also shampoo, conditioner and soap so no need to bring those toiletries either. You can’t beat the location. Walking to hideaways beach, a quick drive to Princeville shopping, Hanalei, all the north shore beaches. The pool and hot tub on this property are always top notch too (never broken, great water temperature). We also enjoy grabbing dinner at the onsite pizza place. Highly recommend this unit and overall property! A note for light sleepers that since it’s a bottom floor unit you may hear the people above you, but that’s to be expected! Thanks for a fantastic stay and great communication.

We absolutely loved our time in princeville, and the condo was lovely. Great location, beautiful view, easy to get around and near some of the most amazing beaches. The one thing I would change is the mattress needs to be replaced. There is a very obvious divot in the center that makes you feel like you're going to roll down a hill, and it was a little soft. Other than that, everything was great. I can't wait until we can come back some day!

We love your unit and have stayed in Pali Ke Kua probably 10 times in at least 5 different units, your view is absolutely the best, as you know! The unit was very comfortable and stocked with the nice extras boogie boards, beach towels, masks, umbrellas for sun and rain, books. We also loved your history and how you love Kauai like we do and I’m sure you’ve seen many changes on the island over all those years. We hope to be back and would hope to stay in your unit again when we do. We stayed 3 weeks and hope to do no less than that next time. Aloha and mahalo!

We loved our stay here! We spent 5 perfect nights here. The location was awesome for all of our North Shore adventures. The condo was clean and cozy. Perfect spot to relax after a full day. The views from this property were top notch. Watched one of the best sunsets from the short walk to the cliffs one night. They seriously thought of everything you'll need! The bed, sheets and pillows were comfortable and high quality. The beach chairs, coolers, boogie boards, umbrella and pool noodles were a great surpise. The AC did a great job and kept the whole condo very comfortable. The grounds were beautiful and well maintained and the path to the beach was beautiful. (Although steep, it was pretty easy to navigate due to it being paved.) We would LOVE to come back and visit again! Thanks so much for a lovely stay!

Overall we had a great experience here. The big “complaint” for me was the air conditioning. This place could use a couple mini splits or central air. There are 3 portable type air conditioners with hoses venting the hot air outside. When we arrived the one in the dining room was cracked filling the room with hot air. We were able to duct tape it back together and get it pretty serviceable for the most part. Coming from Texas heat this was hard to deal with. Other than the pretty happy with the place. Great location. Especially convenient to Hideaways beach but just a quick drive down to Hanalei.

The views from this condo are amazing. Proximity to Hideaway Beach is a definite plus as the beach, water, and snorkeling are all great. 24/7 natural Pacific AC. The layout of the condo itself was perfect for a family of four. We cooked many meals in the kitchen to enjoy one of the best sunset views on the island.

This property is even more beautiful than the pictures look. It was the perfect place for a week long stay in beautiful Princeville for our group (mom and 3 grown sons). The living area, bedrooms, and bathrooms are spacious and comfortable. Air conditioning units were very useful and were much appreciated by our group. The views from the unit are amazing. Hideaway beach is within walking distance (including a climb down a steep trail but a fantastic little spot); Hanalei is a short drive down the road and offers amazing restaurants. There are activities and hiking trails nearby that we enjoyed all week. This was the perfect choice for our Kauai once in a lifetime vacation. The drive to the other parts of the island were very doable as well.

Perfect from the planing stages up through departure. The host responded quickly to our questions and let us know they were available for any assistance throughout our stay. We arrived to a clean well maintained unit. All the furniture was comfortable and in great shape. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, utensils and dishes. We were delighted to find beach/pool towels, beach chairs and umbrella were provided. The local grocery store was maybe 5 minutes away and had a wonderful selection of everything. Depending on traffic, Hanalei Bay was about a 15 minute drive to gorgeous beaches, shopping, eateries and exceptional fine dining. Evenings and morning coffee on the lanai were peaceful and an unobstructed sunset view over Hanalei Bay was just a few steps away.

This charming, clean townhome had spectacular views, a well-appointed kitchen, and a super comfortable king-size bed. Don't plan on taking an afternoon siesta if you're in unit 106 as the bedroom windows faced the busy walkway leading to units 101 through 105 and to the property's private pathway to Hideaway Beach. (I could hear lots of conversations and roller bags on the sidewalk during the day through the louvered windows that provided air circulation. But note, it was very quiet overnight.) And the verdant lawn beyond the lanai was as beautiful as the pictures but was for show only - the exotic nene geese continuously re-fertilized it with their droppings. I never missed that there was no A/C for the nights I stayed in late May; I actually enjoyed the sound of the ocean waves crashing below the cliffside property. Finally, there were two separate charges on my credit card shortly after booking: one for the property and one for VRBO's fee. I'd really rather not know how much extra I spent by using the platform.
