We had a great stay! The views were spectacular. The condo was well equipped but an AC unit in the living area would have been great as it really got hot in the afternoon. We pulled down all the shades which helped but then we could not enjoy the view from inside. We would stay there again.

My husband and I stayed here for a few nights and thoroughly enjoyed our time. The views can’t be beat - the views from the condo and the beach below. We watched sunset one night from the beach below and it was extraordinary. Great communication when needed. Highly recommend.

I stayed in another Pali Ke Kua unit right before this one, which was wonderful and absolutely spotless, so I was expecting a similar experience when I checked into this unit. Unfortunately, I felt so uncomfortable here that I couldn’t wait to leave. I walked in the first day to find 3 dead roaches on the floor in different rooms, a parade of tiny ants on the counter, kitchen smelled like bacon, bedroom floor hadn't been swept, couch was covered in sand, spider web across one dining chair, lanai table hadn’t been cleaned. Found hairs and a stain on the bed, plus more hairs under the covers. I spent hours washing & drying the bedding before actually going to sleep that night. There was a broken window next to the front door when I checked in and the screen was bent out of shape. I had not contacted management about it, but the next day I came back to find someone had attempted to straighten the screen and fix the window with tape, which made me incredibly uncomfortable because I was never told that someone would be entering the unit or working on anything. The day after that, I was in the unit when a man came by and started tearing tape off the window. Of course it startled me. Repairs should be done before guests arrive or management should at least be alerting guests about them. I also killed roaches in this place every single day and just could not get comfortable. If it was maintained & cleaned properly and had better mattress/pillows, it could be nice. The surrounding property is beautiful and quiet, just wouldn't recommend this unit in its current state.

The unit is nicely furnished and well equipped. The bed is weird. The hike down to the beach is really steep and the beach is coarse and rocky but lovely.

This was our 1st time on Kauai, It was recommended that we stay in Princeville for the sheer beauty of the area. They were right we loved the North side of the Island as well as Princeville. It is truly picture perfect. The condo was located on a bluff with a gorgeous view. The condo was the perfect size for 2 people. There are restaurants and coffee shops close and the town of Hanalei Bay is just a few minutes away. The Hidden beach below the Condo was very nice and I did some snorkeling there and saw to many turtles to count. All and all we highly recommend the area for you next stay.

This condo is in the absolute best location. Enjoyed the views and everything we needed was provided. Only suggestion I would have is to have a few more small containers with kids for packing snacks and such to the beach. The beach that is just down the path was great and we loved it. Thank you again.

The Bali Hai and mountain vistas here are truly unmatched, and the remodeled kitchen and bathrooms are fresh upgrades. However, a few drawbacks that I think worth mentioning:- Insect invasion: Old, warped window/door screens with gaps and holes let in swarms of insects. While most were harmless, the relentless mosquitoes disrupted sleep.- Staircase challenges: Steep outdoor stairs (7 steps to the front door), immediately inside, you must climb 7 steep steps up to the upper level or descend 7 equally steep steps to the main living area. Not ideal for mobility concerns.- Check-in hassle: Physical key pickup at the Lihue office requires a short drive—digital locks would simplify this.- Outdated furniture: The couches were noticeably old, worn, and, well, less clean than you’d like them to be. A gem for the views, and if insects, stairs, and stylish furnishings are not your concerns, you’d love this place.

The refurbished appartment has a quality kitchen with all equipment you may need. Although there are 3 houses in a row, it is very quiet. Fantastic is the ocean and sunset view. And the "private" beach is one of the best in Hawaii.

PPK115 is in need of attention. Cabinet doors off hinges, broken screens, worn and stained carpet. Thin ceiling. The families upstairs used their unit for their 10,000 steps and their children's playground. Some new furniture, so that's a plus. The view is why I've been returning, but next time I will shop around. I expect better for the price. Or maybe a lower price.

Just the view from the back porch is enough to make us want to come back! We loved this property, and it had everything we needed. Keep in mind that there is only AC in the bedroom, so keep that door shut to keep the cool air in. Other than that, open the glass shutters and enjoy the ocean breeze!

What a gorgeous property and amazing location to stay in Kauai. Condo was fully stocked with everything one could need, including beach equipment for families, especially the kiddos! Couldn’t have been happier to have a beach very close by that we could walk to! The grocery store, restaurants, coffee shop etc. Everything you need in striking distance, especially if you have young kiddos! Truly enjoyed our stay!

Our stay was wonderful. Truly the location can't be beat. Beautiful ocean view and a quick walk down to a private beach! The property itself left a lot to be desired. As mentioned in previous reviews the unit (aside from the showers) hasn't been updated in a long time. My guess is the early 90s. The refrigerator while functioning is rusty as is the washer and dryer. The cabinets are stocked will all the kitchen wares you need but the hinges are loose and they tend to swing open. The unit could use some updating but we didn't go to Kauai to hang out in a condo we went enjoy all that the island had to offer so in the end it was a great stay.

This was a very tidy and well equipped condo with a priceless view of gardens and the ocean just beyond. The owner was a huge plus as he provided lists of beaches, restaurants, and favorite things to do in and around Princeville and Hanalei. He was also quick to respond to some minor issues that arose during our stay. The only drawback of the condo was the master BR was the only sleeping area where you could close the door for privacy. ithershore.

Excellent location for view and value. This well appointed one-bedroom overlooks entire Hanalei Bay with Bali Hai view. Lanai & grassy overlook makes it complete. Walk steep ramp down to small private beach, or to VG public beach with restaurant, bar & amenities (access via stairs adjacent to 1 Hanalei Bay Hotel). Car needed to enjoy Hanalei retaurants & other amenities. Will Return.

VRBO: had to wipe down all the light switches which were yellow stained and greasy. Stove door inside filthy. Refrigerator dirty. first short term rental we’ve stayed in that had not one drop of coffee. upstairs bedroom with two queens had no outlets to plug in anything only the one outlet in the bathroom.No body lotion in bathrooms which is pretty common in short term rentals. Slats in doors dusty & filthy. Beach toys in upstairs closet 1 bucket in particular full of sand. We did not do. Found that way. Cockroach! Orange mark on clothes from washer/dryer. Visible sand in front door of dryer. Ruined a good white top. Desperately needs a deed cleaning. Dated furnishings. Outstanding view. Note: nothing in owner manual regarding garbage or dishwasher, and we took out the garbage and emptied it all and we put dishes in the dishwasher and turned it on and left a note. Left in great condition.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this condo. We enjoyed watching the sunset out on the back patio, and hiking (it's quite steep) down to Hideaways beach to enjoy the beautiful scenery. It was a short little drive (maybe 10 minutes) from the condo to Hanalei where we enjoyed going to the beach, exploring the shops, and eating great food. There is a little shopping center and a few good restaurants right in Princeville as well - 3 minute drive, 15 minute walk. We were also able to walk to catch a shuttle at the golf course to hike the Kalalau Trail which was an awesome experience. We weren't in the condo a whole lot, but it was nice to come back to a clean, quiet and relaxing place at night.

My husband and I spent our honeymoon on Kauai and I believe this unit was really close to where our original place was. We love this place. The unit is great, perfect for my family, and everything was awesome. It's spacious and well stocked and I loved just having the glass doors open to listen to the waves at night. You can't beat the view in my opinion. I will probably never stay anywhere else ever again. This is definitely a place we'll return to.

Very clean unit. Well-kept and everything worked. More than enough supplies for your laundry/dishwashing needs. Quiet complex - it is the building closest to the main thoroughfare but you'd never guess it while you're there. Enough has been said about the view but rest assured no picture or words can really do it justice.Perfect for a solo traveler or couple.

The view alone warrants 5 stars. You'll love sitting on the patio taking it in or moving your chairs out into the grass to see even more of the scenery. The condo complex has a great pool and even a private beach with good snorkeling. The inside of the condo is simple, but just what we needed for the two of us. Note that the wifi is not the best, so keep that in mind if you plan on needing reliable and fast internet. Additionally, we did find a couple of bugs inside which is fairly normal for a beach condo but also something the owners could look into (the screen doors had gaps in them which could contribute to this). Otherwise, fantastic!

Overall its a decent place in a very nice area. Your paying for the area and view. A few issues we had were door code didnt work at check in, had ants crawling out of island electrical socket, and washing machine had a fair amount of mold in it. They did refund us 100 dollars for the mold. For the money the suite didnt live up to the expectations. The view and area did though. Im guessing this property probably has much nicer suites depending on what you want to pay.

Laura has created a beautiful home not only with the Hawaiian decor but with supplies and empty spaces for personal use. The location is lovely, quiet ,comfortable inside and out. It's a private place except for the Nene who dropby to say Aloha on occasion. One of the best stays we've ever had

Overall great stay and I would stay there again. Check in was stressful because we were very tired from travel with a toddler and we couldn’t get into the condo without a phone call to the property manager first. Condo was clean. The kitchen was nicely stocked. Mattresses were too soft for my back’s preference. The only beach nearby that is within walking distance other than a resort beach is down a steep cliff.

We really appreciated the quiet location of this property. Also loved the sound of the birds and the wind in the tree’s outside the bedrooms window. I think the condo could be updated a bit? Stains on carpet and older towels were not great. But we did appreciate the beach chairs, umbrella and boogie boards available

Lovely views from this unit. Well appointed. No direct beach access as stated. Clean with a few electrical issues. Electrical outlets in kitchen were unsecure. Updates to the tv and cables needed as they were frayed. Was never able to speak with owner, but the manager was fast to respond about the excessive morning noise which was surprising.
Tree clean up in the lot at 7am with constant beeping. Manager responded quickly with apologies but said that's part of the island. Then a helicopter landed to pick up a group of people from the golf course across from the unit. Was told by staff and groundskeepers that the private helicopters can land there to pick up golfers. Only happened once. However the manager stated it was probably an emergent pickup. The locals working there, very knowledgeable, stated that the noise is actually a daily issue but in brief bursts.
8am bush trimming outside the unit windoby staff waking up the house.
Remodeling noise. ool key worked for the first 5 days & stopped. There was construction at the pool which was not told to us. They did respond quickly to say it does work. We tried again but the door my arthritis could not manage it anymore. I finally gave up trying to make the stay less noisy but that's was what i came here for. Quiet. Didn't really happen.
If you like activity and a busy condo unit, this is for you. Grounds are stunning. Beware of the overwhelming amount of Nene feces and they will come in the unit if you open the screen.

This condo is the perfect spot in the complex with the corner view of the beautiful cove. We watched honu turtles from our lanai as well as the daily rainbows! And the complex has its own beach! The condo had everything we would need and more. It was very clean. Main bedroom has a/c and it kept us cool all night. Bed and pillows were comfy. Close parking right outside the front door. Mgmt team was excellent and communicative. Book this one while you can! We will definitely stay here on our return trips to the beautiful Garden Isle! The North Shore is our favorite area.

The view did not disappoint! I think others have said this, but you almost don't want to leave the condo because the view is everything and more -- the whales, the geese and other birds, even a couple geckos in front of the lanai. The condo is clean, nice refrigerator/oven/microwave, for a vacation all the cookware you likely need (and we rarely ate out). The overall property that the condo is part of is well maintained, the outdoor pool was very nice as well. And Anne and George (the owners) were wonderful to interact with. (E.g. Anne would notify me if there were going to be road closures or delays due to area road construction.) We definitely want to come back!
