The condo is comfortable and well appointed - plenty of linens, kitchen utensils, and paper products. The bed, couch, and chairs were very comfortable. The outdoor furniture was also of a high quality.The downstair’s bedroom had a small bedside table for my husband’s CPAP. There was no table on the other side. The loft bed had 2 side tables. My only concern is that I was unaware that the unit had no air conditioning. I booked the unit 9 months before our stay and saw no mention of lack of AC on Vrbo’s website. Once Vacasa began communicating with me, the description of the unit listed all amenities with air conditioning with a line through the words. We were only moderately warm in the unit during the day. We opened all windows and doors and the trade winds kept the unit mostly comfortable. The exhaust fan on the 2nd level ran whenever the sun was shining. I think it helped expel the hot air from the second story.This condo is comfortable and centrally located in Princeville. Just be aware that there is NO AIR CONDITIONING in this unit.

Check in was awful. They would not allow us to check in even 1 minute early and we had cold groceries. We sat in the car and when it was time the code on the door that they gave us was FALSE. Took forever to get in contact with the management company who kept us on hold and THEY were unable to find the correct code for 40minutes. The sun beams the living/kitchen area and was very hot so beware the AC is just a portable unit in the bedroom. It’s very loud so bring ear plugs. No tv in the bedroom like detailed. The microwave is old and buttons do not work. The “Start” button does not work. You have to hit the popcorn button for it to turn on. The only positive is that the view is absolutely beautiful.

Steve is a great host, and his property is just as described. It's clean and well-appointed with everything we needed, with great views and a location that's convenient to everything on Kauai's North Shore. We highly recommend!

I loved the ease of access to parking, being able to walk the exercise path, the condo's location (I particularly liked being on the corner), the quiet, and also being able to see the sunset, which was nearby. I did not take any photos. Not too big on pictures!

The condo has an AMAZING view and the sunsets are incredible. The unit was spacious and well equipped for our family. The host Deborah was great! The only small inconveniences were that the pool and jacuzzi were closed during our stay and the washing machine wasn't working during but the host was nearby and washed a load of our clothes for us which was so thoughtful. Overall we loved our stay!

Beautiful view and nice apartment! Partial AC in bedrooms is inadequate for warmer temps, so pls be aware. The living room and kitchen can get to about 90 degrees in the heat. But if it’s cool outside, I would recommend this place for the view alone. The customer service is also great!

You can't beat the views here! We really enjoyed our stay. It did get a little toasty in the afternoon when the sun set, especially while cooking, but it cooled off within a few hours.The walk down to the beach is a very steep, paved walkway. It's not the kind of beach to really hang out at, as it's mostly rocks and course sand. See photo. It is beautiful, however, and fun to see the little tide pools.We made it our goal to be home each night at sunset. It never disappointed.

Starting with this part of the island, it's as beautiful as we had hoped. The principal area in particular is a great spot for a base camp for this area as it sits high atop a bluff and is surrounded by a golf course and very beautifully manicured and landscaped grounds. The whole area feels like you're in a resort. Our part of Princeville, Pali Ke Kua is also special as it's relatively small and closer to the ocean. It has a central pool and hot tub. We chose our unit in particular because it was one of the closest to the ocean. We also liked how it was ground floor and you could walk right out and in just 15 ft you were looking down over the ocean. Another cool thing is that if you turn left out of your patio it's maybe a minute to a really beautiful common sunset viewing area that we went to each night, along with other guests. Inside, it's been renovated and everything feels clean and new.

The pros about this property: the views were gorgeous, just as pictured on the website. The condo was well equipped and appeared clean. The location and surrounding community are lovely.The cons: the condo gets hot. The two bedroom AC units help keep the bedrooms cool. When you check in, the two bedroom AC units are off and all the shades are open so the unit is hot. My daughter got a lot of bites sleeping in the bed near the window of the upstairs bedroom. This is probably the only reason I would have reservations about staying here again. The aluminum vent from the dryer in the downstairs bathroom was torn open so the dryer vented into the hot, humid downstairs bathroom. I told management about it when we left because we did not want to be bothered with repairs during our 3 night stay.On our last night, a neighbor yelled at my husband claiming that he was up all night due to the noises we made. We were out for most days and tried our best to follow the rules. When my husband tried to ask him questions, he said we better be quiet or he would call security/police. We were shocked by the interaction, and I informed management about it after our stay. The only thing we did at night was run the washer and dryer (due to the vent/heat issue). I don’t know if the machines make excessive noise for neighbors. Finally, the cleaning fee is high when we are expected to empty the trash/recycling, and the public containers are not easy to find on the outdoor property.

We were moved to this unit for our final three nights from our selected unit due to a roofing project. While we appreciated the rental companies accomodation, the view and privacy offered at this unit did not compare favorably with our chosen unit. Also, an upstairs master bedroom didn't bode well for sleeping in the heat, even with multiple fans. All in all the rental company did it's best to make the most of an unfortunate situation.

This is our first time in this condo although we have come to Pali Ke Kua many times. The place was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our stay. It's the perfect place for hanging out, snorkeling at Hideaways beach, walking up to the shops, or taking off on an adventure. And a million-dollar sunset every night! This was a great place to stay and we would return in a heartbeat!

I have been to Kauai 4 times in the last 4 years. I can say with certainty this is the best condo we have rented on the Island! The owner Toni was very communicative and made sure everything was great. The condo is nicely appointed and has everything you could need for a Hawaiian vacation. All you need to pack is your clothes. The beds were very comfortable and the Tradewinds kept the condo very comfortable even though it was August. Finally the views, OMG the pictures she has don't do it justice! It was like looking at a screen saver every morning waking up with a coffee and every evening watching the sun set off of the deck! Highly recommend this condo!

Wow! I cannot say enough good things about this property. The view was gorgeous! So much so that we rushed home every evening to make sunset. The AC's were perfectly chilly in the bedrooms but most nights we fell asleep to ocean waves in the living room. The condo was stocked with more than what you need to have a comfortable stay! The beach and pool were also amazing! Will 100% be back!

This was a perfect location for us, a relatively quiet property with beautiful cliffside views and easy access to the small beach. We spent 10 days on the island and never felt a need to go farther than just a few miles down the road to access great beaches, fun hikes, good food, etc., but it was also great just to sip coffee/drinks while watching the ocean.

We had a wonderful time for our visit in late July/early August. We stayed a week at this property and it was perfect for our family of 5 (kids 17, 14, 11). The company was amazing to work with - communicated extremely well and were very prompt with all communications (even when we had a tsunami warning the day of our arrival!). The condo is just as described - clean and comfortable. It was not a great place to spend a late afternoon as the living area and kitchen get very hot during the day. The AC units in the bedrooms are a game changer and worked great for sleeping. Perfect spot if you plan on being out all day and home in the evenings during a summer visit. We also loved the private beach access and the beautiful bluff to watch the sunset. We would definitely stay here again!

Started off bad with the upstairs room being over 90 degrees. Would have been nice for the property management company to open some windows and turn on fans prior to us arriving. Also the BBQ that is listed is .2 miles from the condo and is down 100+ ft so basically not useable. Thought the condo was going to be a good value but it was not. I wouldn’t stay here again due to the condo being in rough shape and the upstairs is unbearably hot even with the windows open all day and the daytime temp only getting into the mid 80s. All of the ceiling fans and floor fans need replaced and barely move much air.

Absolutely stunning. I couldn’t think of a more perfect place in paradise to take in the northern shore of Kauai. Great location to beaches, restaurants, grocery and more for both walking and driving. Sunsets for a lifetime, beautiful wildlife and clean amenities/grounds. Host was very informative, responsive and helpful both before and during our stay. Their management team was great. Nothing broke or was needed during our stay but I’m sure if it was an issue we couldn’t live without, they would remedy quickly and effectively. Until next time!

This is THE spot and this is the end of the island you NEED to be at! We spent a week here and could not have been more happy with our choice. We were very comfortable and had everything we needed to make our stay great. Very well stocked and the beds were comfortable too. Had coffee in the am and cocktails at night on the very spacious patio to watch the sunrise and sunset each day. We had a family of three and were very comfortable here. Closet full of beach supplies and beach chairs to use, along with a cooler that was used daily on our adventures. A nice pool and hot tub to come back to at the end of each day was also a bonus. Air conditioners in each bedroom made for a very comfortable nights sleep as well. You really cant go wrong with this place, the views alone are worth every penny!! The grounds are very well manicured and much attention to detail. Having the pizza restaurant is also great for when your flight gets in late and you're exhausted, its just steps away. No need to stop at Walmart or Costco when you arrive, Foodland has everything you need and it's only a few miles down the road. Parking for the condo is super easy and right outside the front door. It was very quiet in this entire area which we appreciated as well. You can sit and watch surfers and paddle boarders right from your balcony and start your day off slow on island time. Don't hesitate on this one, your decision is easy, book your stay here and start making Kauai family memories!!

We enjoyed our time here. The view from the downstairs portion of the unit is stunning. The cabinets were stocked with dishes/utensils. The wifi was easy to connect to and reliable. The condo complex was well-maintained. Parking was located a very short walk from the unit and I never had issues finding a space. The location is good - a short walk to Hideaway Beach (and hideaway lookout, for those who prefer not to adventure down the surprisingly steep trail to get to the beach), short drive to the golf course, and a quick drive into Hanalei or nearby Kilauea. The area is peaceful. There is plenty of beach gear available in the upstairs closet. Also, the owners were transparent about ongoing construction in advance of our stay (the construction was far away from our unit). There were some opportunities for improvement. There was less air flow through the unit than I expected. This may have been partially due to the weather and time of year. The owners provided a generous number of fans - even with all on full blast and with the wind and rains that would come through, we had some difficulty bringing the temp down in the evenings. This affected the loft area more than downstairs. A/C would be a tremendous addition. The only other minor issue we had was related to bugs (earwigs and flying roaches) that somehow made their way in despite all obvious entry points closed. Not overwhelming by any means, but more than expected for a vacation rental.
