The condo was perfect for our one week stay in Kauai. We were greeted by rainbows the first day!. The dining area was my favorite spot - views of the mountains and the ocean. The condo was just as pictured on VRBO. It was well stocked with everything that we needed for a comfortable stay away from home.

What a wonderful home base for exploring the north shore! This condo exceeded expectations across the board. The view is amazing, the condo clean and comfortable but the location is the best amenity. We loved being able to walk to three beaches in under five minutes. Why even bother to get in the car? We did of course, to make the short trek to Hanalei each day for amazing meals and hospitality. The management company was top notch too. We appreciated all aspects of our stay!

The location was convenient, the views were amazing, we enjoyed the private access to the beach .Our family of 4 adults stayed for a week here and while it was comfortable , the supplies and amenities were more suitable for a 2-3 night stay. There was only one paper towel roll, no family board games ( except a deck of cards) and other little things. It also seems reasonable to provide some housekeeping services if one rents for a week or more. Overall it was a 3 /5 star rating we would give.

Princeville is a beautiful area. The only thing I was disappointed is that the listing stated a short private path to the beach. It was not a short walk and the pathway was a bit dangerous to walk in as it is a pretty steep climb down, no stairs just pavement. However, it was a short drive to Hanalei Beach so it worked out. Also, quite a bit of bugs in the beach home - mainly in the bathrooms. Overall, it was a nice place with an incredible view.

We had a good overall stay as the unit was as described, with nice touches of 2 sets of snorkeling equipment; a couple mats, chairs, and foam noodles. Also a few sun hats hanging by the door. Host was also responsive. Views are same as pictures, with a nice side yard to the left whilst looking out the back sliding glass door.
Some info missing we would have liked to know is that the unit has slatted glass on the entryway, the bathroom, the bedroom and dining room for ventilation purposes. In addition to this noise as you can imagine, the unit itself isn’t sound proof at all; which in sure isn’t always a problems. But for us,it was as the unit above must be larger than this one bedroom unit and had a family up there that yelled, banged, stomped and honestly sounded like a construction zone nonstop while they were there. Starting before 7am and not ending until after 10 some nights. We complained once (which we have never done before) and they did respond and spoke with the parents who said “their kids got away from them this morning”. It was their whole stay which was the majority of our stay, it’s just the way their family operates and we also understand this isn’t something they could do anything about. The reason to include this info is that depending on your trip type, you may plan on being in the unit more on some trips than others or just want to sleep in and if you get a family like this; there’s not much to be done about that.
For us, I would still stay here again.

Pali Ke Kua 112 is very nicely furnished and equipped with quality amenities that make it a wonderful place to stay. We have stayed at Pali Ke Kua many times and specifically liked the following features in this unit during our two week October 2023 stay:1) Location - Hanalei Bay view, sunset view and Hideaway Beach access. The Pali Ke Kua units that face west with a fantastic Hanalei Bay view are our choice for North Shore accommodations. 2) Grill - Lack of a grill has been a negative when staying at Pali Ke Kua so we were very happy to find an electric grill on the patio. 3) Patio shades - Afternoon sun shining directly into units facing west makes the room hot and uncomfortable. This unit has patio sun screens that can be lowered as needed to block afternoon sun shining directly into the unit - perfect for temperature control and comfort! ALL west facing units should have shades. 4) Beach chairs - Tommy Bahama beach chairs with shoulder straps are great! Keeps hands free to carry all the other stuff to the beach. 5) Kitchen - Having a fully equipped kitchen for preparing meals is a must for us. My spouse grew up in Hawaii and we look forward to preparing and enjoying local foods not readily found on the mainland when we visit. Much appreciated not listed appliances... Chefman water kettle with temperature control for preparing coffee with our Aeropress. Rice cooker. One disappointment... I inquired about an additional guest after making this somewhat last minute reservation. Kauai Vacation Rentals told me only 2 guests maximum were permitted because the unit only had beds for 2 people. During our stay, I discovered that the sofa in the living room is in fact a sofabed that can accommodate 2 additional guests.

We had the most FABULOUS stay at this location that is in the heart of Princeville the Northshore of Kauai. The owner has up to date modern motif that we felt right at home with. Bed comfortable, superb quality of kitchen essentials and they even had chairs and an unbrella that came quite in handy. It's booked with the assistance of Kauai Rental Properties who streamlined the entire process providing great service and left us goodies! What a memorable time we spent there with gorgeous views we will remember for a lifetime. Thank You!

This unit was exactly as described. It was clean, quiet, and very well appointed. The directions for check-in and check-out were very clear. We had a couple of minor issues, but Kristine, the property manager, was very communicative. We stayed over the holidays, which complicated things a bit in terms of maintenance, but Kristine was very apologetic and did her best to get the issues addressed and taken care of. We still had an awesome time!
Overall, this is a wonderful property and we would not hesitate to stay here again.

Pali Ke Kua is perfect in every way. We rented two units for our family. One unit was updated and very well furnished. This unit was dated with old formica and not very well furnished, particularly the kitchen; bare bones. There was a lot of rust on appliances (which happens with salt water, but still...a lot), old cabinets that don't close, only basic kitchen supplies, and carpet that didn't look very clean. There were not enough outlets in bedrooms for the fans supplied. That said, the view was spectacular, and the location perfect!

This was a great place for our family of 5. Steve was very helpful with any questions we had and the place was well stocked with everything you would need. We were able to enjoy many of the nearby beaches and hiked Kalalau Trail. It was a bit of a jaunt to Poipu and the canyons but we really enjoyed staying this side of the island. Everything was perfect. Thank you!

We owned a home in Princeville for 20 years and keep coming back to stay in different North Shore spots. This was one of the best and the view is outstanding. The condo was very clean and well-outfitted. We would rent there again, but likely choose a second floor, larger unit further out toward the water for a better view of Hanalei Bay.

Overall great location and clean. We had a nice stay, I love the location for the proximity to walk outside and see the ocean and North coast and waves rolling into Hanalei Bay. Ability to accommodate a family of 6 and mostly accurate description. I am not going to complain too much, but only point out a few things that were not ideal compared to similar rentals we've done over the years.
Here are the negatives:
- Clean, but an underlying bug problem. Killed some roaches throughout the stay, large and small
- No gas grills throughout premises as stated (a couple of charcoal grills way down a path by the beach)
- Hot tub not fully filled or working properly
- Need some hot pads for kitchen
- No boogie boards as we were told by management
- No assigned parking spots, so difficult to park in spot nearest the unit at night

The path to the beach was spectacular. The location convenient. The pizza next door delicious Ir did have a smoke smell when you entered. Recommend Kilz. Overall perfect. Thank you

Property location was amazing. Views spectacular. We really enjoyed the unit itself but the mismanagement by Vacasa has left a negative impression.
When we arrived, we were advised that the upstairs bathroom sink had leaked and was not functional. We were then informed that a replacement part was going to be installed so the bathroom could be useable and that was the last that we heard. The shower upstairs also backed up, never to be serviced.
When one spends the money we did for 8 nights, we would expect that we would have a functional bathroom. If there was the issue with the sink, then we would expect it to be handled. Instead, it was not handled and we never heard another word about it. So, we basically had one functioning bathroom for 4 people when we paid to have 2 bathrooms.
Upon return to the mainland, we had to contact Vacasa and again report the issue and they assured us they would look into the issue and get back to us. Weeks passed and nothing., We reached out to them again, only to be told that they would look into it and get back to us with an offer of compensation to address the fact that we had one bathroom and were completely ignored by Vacasa.
It is now December and of course not one word. Contacted them again to inquire as to status. They responded to the text and then when told that they completely failed to respond, then went dark again.
I really hope the owner reads this review and addresses the issue with his management at the local and corp level

We could hear the ocean from any part of the condo, which we loved. It has a partial ocean view from the balcony and a better ocean view from the dining room and master bedroom. The kitchen was well equipped except for NO sharp knives. We really liked watching the nene's and albatross from the balcony. We watched the sunset from the bluff with beach chairs that were provided. The condo itself is dated and needs work inside. I believe it was built in 1974 and it shows. Self check-in and check-out was easy. We loved the location of this complex.

I loved my experience staying at Pali Ke Kua for 12 days on my recent trip to Kauai. Everything about it was wonderful. The condo was nicely furnished and the cupboards and closets were filled with all necessary supplies and more. The condo was exceptionally clean and orderly. The grounds of the property were inviting. The real highlights were the spectacular view and the sounds of the surf from the ocean below the cliffs. Both were mesmerizing. I hope to be able to stay here in future visits to the island.
