Pali Ke Kua Reviews


My biggest complaint with this place is that it makes you unmotivated to leave and explore the rest of the island, because it is so nice. Our stay started with a hiccup however, as the unit had not been cleaned, which was unfortunate after a long day of travel. The manager (and owners) quickly responded and apologized for the oversight. They made it right, and the place looked great afterward. The views are fantastic and the layout is nice. There is no A/C (which would make this place perfect), but there are many fans that kept it tolerable during our warm August visit. Don't forget to utilize the blinds when leaving to keep some heat out. Be sure to walk down to the Pali Ke Kua beach. We snorkeled with turtles there and it was awesome. We hope to come back some day for a slower paced visit to really unwind. Mahalo!

There were also beach chairs, snorkel equipment, beach towels, cooler, umbrella. The only negative thing was no AC. Granted we were there in August. We were very hot during the day.

It was clean and fully furnished to make our stay comfortable. The only complaint would be there are only two portable ACs that couldn't cool the space enough, the unit got the afternoon sun and if you stay during the summer months like we did, it gets too hot to stay in after 3pm. It didn't cool down until really late in the evening and I felt sorry for my kids who slept upstairs.

But, as you know, the cabinets were falling off of their hinges and numerous other things that we noticed the were not up to speed from the maybe 1970s. I said to my wife, "Wow the owners of this condo must be real cheap asses!" Had an awesome visit with sweet, wonderful, helpful, marvelous, kind - Donna and the lunch tables at the grocery store. Oh did I mention how nice she was....?The price was very reasonable also despite going back to the 1970's.

We really loved the location (short drive to Hanalei) and the view overlooking the ocean. The VRBO was clean and well stocked with beach gear and kitchen supplies. The hosts were very responsive and kind. The only note is that it is a 1st floor unit with a unit above. There were jumping/running/yelling kid guests above us, and they could be heard in this VRBO. These guests were respectful of the quiet hours, and we chose to travel around Kauai rather than stay in the VRBO during the daytime. It's still a really great VRBO, and a better deal than the One resort hotel just steps down the road.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view and the path to the beach below are top features. This unit is among the best at Pali Ke Kua and includes a number of upgrades. The dutch door refrigerator (with ice maker) works very well with the narrow kitchen. The kitchen was well stocked, and if anything, it could use a lettuce spinner and pizza baking pan. The unit was well-cleaned on arrival. The Kauai Vacation Rentals team was easy to work with and helpful, such as ensuring that bed sheets were 100% cotton. While the bedrooms have air conditioning, we found we only used it the first night (unit was very hot from being closed) and the final day while packing.

We had a small snafu with the key not being there when we arrived but that was quickly remedied. No A/C but the trade winds kept us cool at night. However it would be nice to have at least one standalone fan because it gets very warm right before sunset, even with the blinds closed. Would also have preferred more than 4 forks and more than 2 thin beach towels. Kitchen is great for making meals and appliances are new and high-end. Bed was comfortable. Pool, hot tub, and restaurant on the property are great.

Grateful for the fans as the afternoon sun really heats up the place in the afternoons. Leaving the front door open helped create a strong cross breeze-wish there was a screen door. Living room furniture, bathroom fixtures, washer and dryer were on the older side but were functional. Good communication from the rental company.

We loved everything about our stay: the cleanliness of the condo, location (view of the ocean and stunning sunsets just around the corner), and proximity to the Hideaways Pizza Pub. Although there is a paved path to the beach, it has steep inclines. It is more a hike than a walk to the beach, which we were not prepared for the first time we did it. We also had to ask to find the path since it is located at the front of the complex. The only issue we had was when we arrived: all the AC units and fans were off, so it was very hot inside. It took several hours to bring the temperature down. Other than that, this was a great location and we enjoyed our stay!

On the plus side; I like staying in this complex due to great location —have stayed in this complex numerous times; Close to Food Land, Hide Away Beach, Pizza Place in complex, Ritz Carlton close by and all my hiking spots. The area is beautiful, grounds very well maintained. ….As to the condo itself, it’s fine but it’s dated, view so/so compared to other units, furniture is old, one paper towel, soap that seems like it’s been there forever, oldish appliances. Condo is ok but could use a little love and capital. Floor plan nice with upstairs /downstairs. I would do it again, we had a great time as we always do when going to Princeville.

We loved this property. The view is stellar. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, and appropriate cooking implements. We enjoyed the George Foreman on the patio. The path to Pali Ke Kua beach was a pleasant surprise. They need a few more fans as the sun in the afternoon can be brutal, but that is the direction that give you the view. We would stay here again.

We love Princeville and love staying in that area. This condo neighborhood is lovely and well laid-out and landscaped. We loved going to Hideaways pub one night and braved the steep walk down to the small beach. Perfect location for sunsets. The unit itself is very nice. It is spacious, with nice furniture, plenty of beach extras, a large lanai, and comfortable king sized mattress. However, the architectural design of these buildings is very flawed. I know that most places in Kauai don't have AC and when we visited previously, we didn't need it due to the tradewinds. This unit faces the sun all day. There are vaulted ceilings and the only windows are louvered and small and most of them are ground level so it is difficult to get good breezes in the unit. It was extraordinarily hot in the unit. There were a few fans, but no extension cords so you couldn't get the fans where you needed them. We called the rental agency and they provided two fans and two extension cords the next day. My husband was able to rig up an airflow that helped cool the unit down, but it was still fairly warm. So, great unit, helpful agency, but if you like AC, not the place for you.

This place was the perfect getaway for our family of 4 while we stayed for a week exploring the island! There was everything we needed from beach chairs, boogie boards, umbrellas, fully equipped kitchen all the way to shampoo and conditioner in the showers! The sunset views from the yard were spectacular, it was a nightly routine for us to go watch the sunset! I really appreciated the great communication with the property manager, she was so easy to reach if needed which made the stay even better knowing she was only a phone call/text away! We will definitely spread the word on this hidden gem and our family will 100% book again when we return!

Our stay was excellent! The condo was clean and well maintained. Each night we sat on the patio and watched the sun set over the ocean. Very nice area. Would highly recommend!

July 2023

The condo had 2 beds and 2 sofabeds, enough to sleep 7. It was just enough so our 3 older kids could have their own bed. Everything was clean, other than some dead bugs in the corners of some rooms, which is to be expected on a tropical island. The view through the eat-in area was great. Steve was very quick to answer all of our questions prior to our stay so there were no surprises. There was a bunch of old snorkel gear so had to go through the equipment that actually worked as previous renters probably left their old stuff. At night the AC in the master bedroom was plenty cold, but not really strong enough in the other rooms to be cold, but comfortable. I would recommend this condo if staying in Princeville!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have rented Pali Ke Kua #214 from KVR three times now. We have also stayed in 2 other Pali Ke Kua units operated by KVR that face the ocean here, but this one has the best view. There is no A/C, but being from Florida, we find Hawaii to be much cooler anyway, sometimes even cold, but those from northern climes may have trouble with the temps, especially in summer. The beach access walkway has absolutely stunning views and the few people you come across down there on the beach make it somewhat surreal considering the normally crowded beaches elsewhere on the island. We will definitely be back.

Nestled along the pristine shoreline - the view of the coastline was the absolute main event! Whether we were lounging on the balcony or enjoying a cozy evening indoors, the picturesque scenery of the ocean and views of the Na Pali coast served as a constant reminder of the tranquil beauty that surrounded us.The condo itself was clean. We appreciated the attention to detail, as the condo was equipped with modern appliances, comfortable beds, and basic amenities that enhanced our stay.Location plays a crucial role in any our vacations, and this rental condo truly hit the jackpot. We enjoyed the convenience of stepping out of our door and walking down a nearby path to Hideaways Beach! Keep in mind this beach is not necessarily for lounging and relaxing, BUT is a fantastic snorkeling spot! The local area also offered a variety of attractions and dining options as we were within 10 minutes of Hanalei Bay. From the breathtaking views to the condo amenities, our stay was nothing short of extraordinary. It served our family of four well (15 & 11 yr old).

Great location, comfy living. Everything you need from good beds, equipped kitchen, beach gear on the best location in Kauai to live. Great views in private area.

Steve was a very communicative host from the time we made the reservation to checking in to make sure we were happy after we arrived. The condo was very well stocked in the kitchen, with beach gear, and furniture to make for a comfortable stay. Although there are 3 free standing air conditioners and overhead and floor fans in each room, the condo was over 90 degrees when we checked in and it took hours to cool the unit down to a habitable temperature. It was a challenge to keep the unit cool enough for our comfort level. But all and all it was a wonderful stay.

Then you turn in to the green oasis of Princeville and wend to the end of the road at Pali Ke Kua. The best part is entering the condo and opening the drapes and being awestruck at the magnificent beauty filling your view. The clean, comfortable condo has everything you need and more but all you really want to do is sit mesmerized by the view. It never gets old. Quiet neighbors, friendly passersby, everyone shares the wonder of God's creations. Weeks fly by, and soon you find yourself planning your return visit because you truly have found Paradise and need look no more.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It’s good property. A little outdated, but ok! They should mentioned that it’s not small kids friendly. I have an 8 months old with us, and it was a challenge, because to get to the property you need to get to the stairs and in the unit you need yo go downstairs/upstairs for the second bedroom.The view is great. The beach is not accessible with small kids. You need to climb using ropes.When we came the icemaker was not working, and the property management put a sign telling about it. After the first night we saw that all the vegetables and fruits inside the fridge freeze, so we need to through all them out (worth of $100), that was very sad!

We really enjoyed our stay. The unit was exactly as listed and very clean. The views and property as a whole was very well cared for. Grounds were gorgeous. Other considerations - on sunny afternoons the condo got very hot (85 degrees +). The cool air recovered at night with the bedroom AC units. There is no central air conditioner throughout. The is also no cross breeze to help according to wind direction (June). We are mainlanders from a very hot area so accustomed to AC. We did enjoy our stay.

The condo was immaculately clean, very beautiful views and everything was communicated very clearly ! Only thing that could improve- sliding glass door going out to balcony sticks pretty badly. The beach equipment was much appreciated as well! We will def be back

My family enjoyed this condo very much! We loved that it was close to Hanalei! That was our favorite beach and it is such a cute town. The private path, to Hideaway Beach, is a 1/2 mile walk to get to. Very nice beach though.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay at Pali Ke Kua 106! The view and sunsets were unbeatable, and the property was so peaceful! We loved the private beach access just outside our door, and the condo was super well equipped for everything we needed (including a cooler, beach chairs, plenty of fans, etc). I was worried about no AC coming from the brutal heat in TX but it cooled off nicely every night and was only warm in the evening (but you can mitigate by closing the sun shades when you're away). We were very happy we chose to stay here and to return again some day!

We stayed here for an anniversary trip. It was a exactly as described, was in a great location, had a beautiful view, and was generally a great place to stay. Everything we needed was provided. We would definitely stay there again!

The property is as advertised and more! The ocean views from this end unit were more beautiful than you can imagine. The condo was clean and the owner provided lot's of thoughtful extras. The location was walking distance to beach and great dining!! We will be back again soon to this fantastic oasis

Clean, beautiful condo! Very relaxing! Take the hike to hidden beach- it’s a steep path but well maintained and has benches to rest. Condo is well stocked and comfortable! Communication with property manager is great! Read the guest book- the owners write neat thoughts about their time in the condo. If this place is available- book it- you won’t regret!! Thanks for sharing your place!

There were roaches and mosquitos in the unit. The contact numbers for management did not answer their phones. It was the emergency/ after hours # but they were eating dinner and called us when they were done. Glad it wasn’t a true emergency but just an after hours call.

This condo is amazing. It is clean, modern, and very comfortable. The bedroom is air conditioned and there are plenty of fans for the rest of the space. It really only gets hot for a few hours in the afternoon since it faces west and gets direct sunlight. That said, there are shades on every window. The kitchen is equipped with solid pots and pans and other cooking utensils. We also appreciated the in-unit washer/dryer. You really can’t beat the location or the view of this stay. We barely drove since there are great beaches and snorkeling within walking distance. Hideaways beach is a short walk away. It is really a gem. Sunsets from the lanai were otherworldly. We did feel like there was quite a bit of required cleanup to do prior to check-out. By the time we left there wasn’t much for the cleaners to do other than linens, sweep/mop, and polish some details. Also don’t love a 10 a.m. checkout. As we were leaving a maintenance man showed up just a few minutes after 10:00 a.m. Overall, totally a great place to stay and would love to come back and stay again!

We stayed here with our teenage boys. The view from the lenai is amazing. You can watch the sunset while you cook dinner. Coffee on the lenai while watching snorkelers below, a 🌈 or sailboats going by. My boys spent most of their time surfing in Hanalei. Hanalei beach is a quick drive down the hill. Being able to walk down the paved path to the ocean is really cool. The only thing I would add is a grill. I already want to come back!

Overall a great option when visiting the north side of Kauai! The view of the ocean is amazing and the walk down to the beach is an extra bonus. The neighborhood is beautiful and a lot of people out walking and running the paths. The condo is well stocked and comfortable. Just note that there are stairs to get to the front door and a very small landing inside the front door so you have to go down or up stairs upon entering the condo. The parking lot is close so we just made more trips with luggage. Definitely would stay here again!

The views on here are real! The unit was clean, and well located in the complex- ocean views and close to the pool. Out the front door, you are a 5 minute walk to sunsets, minutes drive to shopping, farmers market, and morning walks along the golf course. We'll definitely be back!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is easily one of the nicest condos I've stayed in. Very clean, fully equipped kitchen, plenty of beach chairs, towels, and coolers. Floor fans were great because I was a little concerned about it being too warm w/out A/C, but pulling the blinds during the day did the trick! Management company was very responsive and easy to work with as well.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo is older with need of some minor repairs and a good deep cleaning. You can tell regular cleaning is done (bedding, countertops, etc.) but the hard to reach spaces and things like curtains and windows treatments look like they haven’t had a good cleaning for a while. The saving grace of this property is the view! Mountains and waterfalls to one side, crystal clear ocean with views of the reef on the other. Amazing sunsets and beautiful gardens surrounding the property. Had the condo been cleaner and in better repair it would have been perfect.
