This condo was really perfect for our needs, but just a tad smaller than I realized. The view was breathtaking. My only suggestion is it needs more light on the walking path from the parking lot because as you make the turn from the first ramp to the second one it is completely black. We never received any instructions for checkout and kept looking for them. If there aren’t any, people should be advised of that.

We loved our stay here! There is a beautiful view and room for everyone. The neighborhood is quiet and well maintained. The condo had everything we needed to make meals and plenty of towels! The had all the beach equipment you need. It is far from a lot of the activities we did on the island but it was worth the drive! We will be staying here again! You do have to return the key to the office but it didn’t feel inconvenient at all. 10 stars!

If you can, be sure to walk down the paved path to the beach—it’s steep, but it’s absolutely beautiful! The condo was clean and lovely, had everything we needed, and was perfectly situated to see the mountain at sunset. The mattress was soft for us, but others might like that. I would absolutely recommend this condo.

Our family vacation at Pali Ke Kua was excellent! The condo was exactly as advertised. It met or exceeded our expectations in functionality, living space, cleanliness, appearance, location, property grounds and communications from the property manager.The living space including the bedrooms, kitchen and oceanfront lanai were excellent for our group of 6 adults.We were able to watch whales, dolphins and many species of local birds daily from the lanai.The property was also a very close driving distance to great beaches for swimming & snorkeling as well as grocery stores, restaurants and local shopping including farmers markets. You can also walk to a couple of beaches and ocean viewing locations from the property.Our family would certainly stay here again!Mahalo!

Exactly as shown, beautiful condo, clean, modern, upkeep is excellent. We can tell someone really cares about this place, it shows. The loft bedroom was perfect as most of the time there were three of us staying there, nobody running around above us, nice lanai that the NeNe came and visited every morning but we did not feed them or any other birds. I love this place and would definitely stay again.

Everything was just right, the location, the amenities, the beds, the view. Lots of dining options nearby, including a great bar and pizza joint just across from the property. Whales going by just off the coastline were the icing on the cake.

The view is breath taking. The condo has all you need and more for a comfortable stay in paradise! The binoculars were great for whale and bird watching. The beach chairs and umbrella were another nice thing to have access to.

My wife and I enjoyed a very relaxing time at the condo. it was incredibly well stocked with appliances. lots of recreational gear as well. Great info on where to park as the signage in the resort is not too clear. we were a bit concerned with a bottom unit but there was little walking traffic in front of us. we loved the place!

Nice clean property with great views of the ocean. Steve is nice to provide beach chairs etc with the unit. Only negative is it was dark when we checked into the condo and the parking lot and entrance to the building was not well lit making it difficult to find the right number on the door. Had to break out the cellphone flashlight. No big deal.

We had a great stay! We have been to the islands many times, each with their own unique moments. This was a great stay as we took our daughter and her family (3 & 2 years olds). This condo fit our needs perfectly. The location to the beaches are just a short drive, and we loved the grassy courtyard outside our patio. It was perfect for the girls to run around. Communication by the management team was spot on, not overwhelming, but just right. Would highly recommend this as top option in Princeville. We would absolutely stay here again.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Stayed six nights. Beautiful view of ocean. Generally well kept unit. Problems:very small space for the price, tv did not receive stations for two days(called provider and manager) , never really worked properly, snorkling equipment was filthy and moldy, two lamps stopped working...manager replaced one with tiny desk lamp, we had to ask that the other, a large floor lamp, be removed. It was but never replaced and filthy area where lamp had been was never cleaned. There was no cleaning service offered during six night stay.

This was a great place for our family to stay. Well stocked kitchen, beach gear galore, great views and close to the best snorkeling on the north shore. We even saw whales directly from the dining room table while we were eating. Steve was an excellent resource and checked in with us during our stay to see if we had any questions or needed anything. Beautiful home away from home and loved everything about it. Thank you Steve!

1. Furniture is different in reality than in profile pics and not for the better.2. Lost electric for 4 hours on Monday which isn’t the end of the world but then internet never came back in for the remaining 2 days we were there. 3. Called the manager listed for help, left a message with NO RETURN CALL.

Everything with the condo was great. Excellent communication with the management company, Makana, before, during and end of trip.Great location!!! Great grounds, landscaping! People were very considerate of others in the complex-sound carries here but everyone kept a low voice. Very quiet and peaceful. We went when school was in progress which probably helped.Upon arrival, the condo was clean and lights were on (we got there at night) as Makana told us in an earlier email. The kitchen was also well stocked.We will stay in the same condo in the future.

lovely home and ample room for 4 adults. we had some technical difficulties with appliances which was disappointing but the owners were very responsive and were clearly working to resolve things as quickly as they could. my only lingering concern is that what they are calling a futon is really more of just a fold up cushion, and as i had to sleep on it all week, i can tell you i would recommen a child only, not for an adult. had i known this ahead of time, i would have chosen a different space to rent, as there is a king bed and a queen bed, but we were a group of four that needed 3 beds. i have slept on real futons my whole life with no problems, so i figured this would be a fine set up until i saw the cushion in the closet and realized it was not an actual mattress. otherwise, a sweet place, and hideaway beach is a gem. thank you.

Location was great! Short drive to Hanalei Bay! Spectacular sunsets across the bay! Nice kitchen and dinette areas. Could use an upgrade to closet doors and screens to the patio. TV was very small. Just a couple of tweaks and good to go! We would stay again.

It was just what we were looking for. A calm, relaxing area. Places to walk and run for exercise and a great view from the lanai.
