This was a lovely rental with many amenities and a full kitchen, which we really appreciated. Our favorite aspect of the place was the spacious main bedroom with the large windows overlooking the lush and beautiful plants outside.
There were also aspects of this place which were less than perfect. Mainly the constant noise was a problem. At 5:45am the gardeners and pool workers would walk past our bedroom window speaking loudly to one another. There was construction happening across the street and they were blasting their music all day everyday. In the evening, the Pizza place adjacent to the property also blasted loud music until about 10:30. If we shut all the windows and doors, we couldn't hear much. The washing machine was also moldy but Vacasa was responsive and brought some washing machine cleaner. Lastly, to note for parents with young children, that the gardeners actively spray pesticides around the property. I had a conversation with one of them about this and he was pretty rude to me when I asked him to stop.
It was a really nice trip and a very nice place, but I would choose a different location next time.

Enjoyed this condo for our stay in the North Shore. Unit is very hard to find- a map is included inside the welcome book in the unit, which would be really helpful to have ahead of time. Pictures are accurate, very clean and well furnished. Great location for exploring!

My family of 4 just returned from a week in this wonderful condo. Everything about this property met or exceeded our expectations. Check in was super easy and we arrived to a spotlessly clean condo. There were beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, a cooler and ice packs in the unit which we put to good use. The beds were super comfy, the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to make a variety of meals at home, and my kids loved the property's pool, which is 100 yards from the front door of this unit. There is also a path down the bluff directly in front of this unit to a secluded beach with incredible snorkeling. We rented snorkel gear for all 4 of us for the week from Pedal and Paddle in Hanalei and it was only $67! The only drawback for me was (due to property rules) there was no grill available to cook on. You can't beat the location of this unit. Both within the property with the view from the lanai, and it's location on the north shore. It's super convenient to get to Hanalei and points further west, and we routinely hopped over to Kilauea for restaurants and shopping. Highly recommend Kenji Burger, Sushi Girl, Java Kai and Kilauea Bakery. We also found the Kilauea Market had better prices and better fresh foods than the Foodland in Princeville. We have only been home for a few days, but my whole family is already looking forward to booking another stay here.

We had a lovely stay at Pali Ke Kua. The condo was perfect-clean, comfortable and nicely furnished. The community pool was very nice. The best part was the gorgeous views from the patio. Perfect for a couple getaway!

Could not have booked a better place. The VIEW. Superb design with windows and screens optimizing the flow of light and wind through the apartment, respectively. Super clean. Great A/C in the bedroom for sleeping. Priceless beach access and lanai. Spacious with all the supplies we needed. The complimentary laundry and dish detergents were greatly appreciated.
One aspect potential guests should know is that you can hear your upstairs neighbors during the day. We didn't mind, but noting it here for those who might.

We spent a lovely week at Pali Ke Kua - the condo had everything our family of 4 needed (we
cooked lots of breakfasts and really appreciated the beach chairs and beach umbrella!). The view of the ocean from the lanai was such a gift! Tons of beautiful birds and little lizards to watch, and beautiful grounds. We enjoyed the pool and we hiked down the trail to Hideaways beach and grilled on the bbq. Lots of great food and beaches nearby.
One more general thought — our wish would be that the complex’s path to the beach was public (not just at Pali Ke Kua but throughout the island). We were so happy to see that all of the beaches on Kaua’i are public, and would love to see that welcoming spirit extended with fewer private access points from hotels and condos.
Mahalo!

We had a fabulous vacation at this Pali Ke Kua condo. We have stayed in various PKK units in the past. This one was super clean with good amenities, and a fantastic view of Bali Hai and Hanalei Bay area. We also found Kauai Vacation Rentals to be super to work with. We left a wallet in the unit, and the housekeeper got it to the office, who had it FedEx shipped to us. Terrific service. We plan to return as soon as we can!

Pali Ke Kua offers some of the best views on Kauai. We have stayed in unit 216 before and it seemed to be recently remodeled. As always the people at Kauai Vacation Rentals are easy to work with, and offer better pricing on the same units you can find on VRBO.

We came for a family event. I have stayed at Pali Kekua many times before and this was the absolutely worst unit I have stayed in any place on Kauai. The view is spectacular but the condo it self is in desperate need for an update. Other then the view the photos are very misleading I had vacation rentals on Island myself and it is a privilege to offer it to visitors. With that also comes a responsibility of sharing Aloha and show respect to the guests. This condo did not do that at all. It reflects the overlay of greed that currently inhabits our beautiful Island. This unit could shine with very little upgrades and furniture that is intact.

The "Better than expected": view from this unit really outdoes the photos; there is a "private", paved pathway for this condo complex down to a secluded beach -- somehow didn't get that from property description
The "Be aware": there are 3 large, comfortable beds, but in (just) 2-bedrooms -- somehow wasn't obvious from the property description; fees and taxes -- taxes are what they are, but the fees? It feels like a lot and at minimum probably should be better explained

We have stayed at many properties in Princeville over the years, but this one stands out from the others. The park-like grounds are spectacular, the location is fabulous and the actual unit is delightfully decorated with tasteful Hawaiian decor. Wonderfully comfortable, with everything you could possibly need, this space was roomy and perfect for 4 people. There is excellent air circulation and the lanai provided a super place to watch a community of gold dust geckos and many lovely birds. We were serenaded by the incredible Shuma birds in concert with many others every morning and evening. We are so grateful that the owners are willing to share their vacation home with others. It was hard to say good-bye!

We absolutely loved our week in this condo. The view from the porch was so breathtaking that we decided to grill and have dinner in several nights to take advantage of the kitchen and dining area. This condo surpassed the pictures as far as updates, space, decor, and cleanliness. The mattress, linens, and towels were high luxury. We absolutely appreciated the furnished beach chairs and towels. We would absolutely stay here again!

This is as beautiful as described and more. If you are at the North shore, this is the place. We walked to the beach, to farmer's markets, to restaurants. From the balcony you can watch the ocean and the nene! Plus, Steve made the whole experience trouble free. Thanks for a fabulous holiday in paradise!

The day starts with coffee on the patio while listening to the wake up calls from nature. Then it’s easy to get places on the otherworldly North Shore After exploring, it’s back to the comfortable unit to a chilled bottle of wine. Great place to relax. The unit is well maintained and has all things needed. We will be back

This unit is absolutely beautiful. Rainbows everyday and could see whales from the balcony. Unit overlooks hideaways beach where the access trail is just steps away. The trail is a bit steep but my 7 year old daughter who complains about everything, did it with ease. Hanalei is a short drive away where we enjoyed the shops and restaurants. Grocery store is close to the condo which is a plus. I highly recommend this unit and plan to be back!

This property is fully equipped with anything you would need; which is wonderful ! ( Including full size shampoo, conditioner and body wash, big beach bags, chairs, cooler, etc., multiple spices and coffee filters) The bed is extremely comfortable and has nice bedding. Be advised that the unit is old and dated if that is of concern to you; however we found it to be priced accordingly. The couch is uncomfortable. The little countertop fan in the bathroom is limping by and filthy (I tilted it and it blew fan stuff on my face). We had a couple of issues and the property management was extremely responsive and took care of each issue ( the issues were the sliding doors were stuck and wouldn't open properly; the oven door handle broke off on one side). All that said; we enjoyed our two week stay here and the area and grounds are really outstanding. Just be aware too that the pathed path to the beach here is pretty steep and long, a bit of a climb; it is a lovely quiet beach though!
