What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 1000 Guest Reviews


Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Guests consistently love Prince Kuhio’s location on Kauai’s sunny South Shore. The condo complex sits just across from Lawai Beach and the Beach House restaurant—prime for snorkeling, turtle and monk seal sightings, and spectacular sunsets—while Poipu Beach, Spouting Horn, Allerton Garden, Old Koloa Town, and the Shops at Kukui‘ula are a short walk or drive. Many highlight peaceful, mature tropical landscaping, a quiet, non-mega-resort vibe, and views of the ocean, Prince Kuhio Park, and mountains. The pool and BBQ areas are attractive and well kept, and the property feels friendly and relaxed.

Units are mostly studios and one-bedrooms—cozy but efficiently laid out and often described as well stocked. Kitchens typically have everything needed to cook, and many hosts supply beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and even snorkel gear; beds are frequently praised as comfortable. Cleanliness and host/manager responsiveness earn high marks overall, and many guests call the complex a great value and an ideal home base for exploring the island. Some units have air conditioning and/or in‑unit laundry; many rely on trade-wind cross-breezes and ceiling fans, which most found comfortable.

Common trade-offs reflect an older, low-rise property: no elevators to upper floors, narrow/small lanais in some units, décor that varies by owner (some updated, others dated), and occasional minor maintenance quibbles. Parking can be tight (narrow garage stalls and lots that sometimes fill), though street or garage options usually work out. Island-wide rooster and parakeet noise starts early—earplugs help—and a few units pick up road noise. Note the beach across the road is best for snorkeling; for broader sandy swimming, head to nearby Poipu or Baby Beach. A handful of rentals use off-site key pickup, but overall guests rave about the location, gardens, sunsets, and value—and many plan to return.

We had an amazing first trip to Kauai!This condo is wonderful! Great kitchen, comfortable beds, two bathrooms, air conditioning, beautiful ocean view, three lanais. The condo is spacious, clean and well cared for.The pool area is beautiful and relaxing. The barbecue area was also great. There is a great snorkel beach is across the street. Old Koloa Town and Poipu Beach are short drives away. We rented a car and were able to explore much of the island. We hope to return to Kauai someday and would not hesitate to rent this wonderful condo again.Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us! Mahalo!

very comfy, love the set up. Perfect for three people, close to ocean. A small air conditioner could have help during the night heat but ceiling fan and sliding door help with maintaining ventilation.Had a wonderful time

Such a great location with view to the ocean from balcony or bed. Over the road is a snorkelling beach. Had a washing machine and dryer in condo which I would normally not note but stayed at a few other condos that said had washing machine / dryer but they were in a seperate laundry room on property. Poipu is very central to see many of the islands key sights but if all you are after is nice beach more beautiful in north of island.

We stay in 4 properties in 2 weeks in Hawaii and this was by far far the best because of location, set up of the property and overall impression. We loved staying here!

Unfortunately our stay was pretty horrible. We arrived late and didn't have the access code to get in. It took several frantic calls and messages to find help to get the code. After finally getting in and somewhat settled, it was time to go to bed. I was there with my daughter, the bed was very outdated, it actually had springs. The bed was soo horrible I barely slept, because my child moved in her sleep and I was being shot out of bed. HORRIBLE

My husband and I stayed here for our first time in Kauai, and it was exactly what I expected if not even better! No AC but it's not even needed with the ocean breeze you get, our room had an awesome view with the ocean to our right so close you could hear the waves and I loved the garden path right outside our door. I would recommend this to a friend, only downside was I didn't receive a check in email even in my spam. Luckily there was an emergency line I called because my flight got in late where she told me to pick up the key in the lihue office (which was a 20 min drive from the room) that process was a little strange but still worked out okay!

We loved our stay at Prince Puhio. The unit was perfect - my favorite part was the view and listening to the waves with a cup of coffee. The unit is even better than described and shown in the photos. It included a safe which we appreciated and everything you would need for a beach day… chairs, umbrella, towels etc. We highly recommend this darling spot and hope to visit again soon. Mahalo!

Great location on Kuaui on the South shore near Koloa. There is a good view of the ocean from condo. We did not like the closed in Lanai. Also there were curtains that obscured the view of the water in the middle of the full length windows providing a view of the ocean. You have to take a short walk to Lawai beach to watch the sunset. The other thing to know is that there are a lot of feral chickens, which means roosters in the morning.

We found a snorkeling beach right across the road with easy access from our unit. We enjoyed an easy walk from the property to the Poipu shopping area. Nice restaurant right across the road for dinner. Parking was easy, plenty of parking in the parking garage. The pool nice and clean and protected from the weather so even on windy days, we could still enjoy the pool as it was calm in that area. There is an air conditioning window unit that works, but due to the type of building, it took until late evening to feel cool. Had a great trip and enjoyed our stay.

Very cozy with a partial view of the ocean! The grounds are beautiful with a private pool. Walk across the street to sit by the water or take a short drive to Poipu Beach! Beautiful area!

As always the best location in the south shore and some of the best views. Ocean! Mountains! Prince Kuhio park! My only issuer was the floors. When I arrived it was Sandy and dirty. And having booked my trip for almost 11 nights Ud expect enough toilet paper. But these are minor things as the Island of Kauai make up for any inconvenience .

My wife and I have stayed in many rental condos and most are good, but not memorable. However, every once in a while, you find the hidden gem and it sticks in your memory forever. This little oasis was perfect for the two of us. The kitchen was nice. The bathroom was spectacular and the bed was one of the best. I’ve slept on at any rental. We loved our little balcony for morning, coffee and food. The gardens and pool area were a little hidden gem. The pool was so different from the mega resorts and we almost felt like it was our own little hideaway. Thanks so much for this beautiful day and I’m sure we’ll recommend the condo to others if they happen to make their way Kauai.

The Studio was awesome. My husband was worried at first when I said it was going to be a studio, but we were very impressed. Nice pool, walk to the ocean. I was hoping the beach would have been more sandy, but people watching was awesome.

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: This beautiful condo was perfect for us during our 6-day stay in Kauai. The full kitchen, excellent bed, and lovely decor created a true sense of comfort, and we so appreciated having beach towels and deck chairs provided. The complex has a lovely pool and gardens, as well as free parking. The location could not be more perfect. Poipu Beach -- the best for snorkeling on the South Shore, as well as the place to watch sea turtles come up to rest -- is 5 minutes away; Wimea Canyon is nearby, and even the beaches of the North Shore are located within an easy hour drive. The airport in Lihue is 22 minutes away.The only thing that wasn't completely amazing was that the TV screen is too small to watch from the bed. In every other way, we loved this place and would eagerly return.

We stayed in this adorable condo for a week and it was a perfect home base for our vacation. The condo was clean and well stocked and right by the ocean. We loved it and would stay there again.

Clean; ocean view was great. Kitchen was stocked with tools for you to cook. The place needs more electrical outlets; there is hardly anywhere convenient plug anything in. There's only a tiny strip of sand that is within walking distance; the rest is rocky and not for swimming. In terms of location, walking to any destination is difficult; two-lane roads with few sidewalks and no street lamps; weird dead-ends blocked by the resorts. It's a central location on the southside, but you definitely need a car everywhere you go. They have a laundry room on the ground floor. Communication was good. One tip: don't park under a tree; the parrots swarm at dusk and will destroy your car with their offerings!

The gardens, pool, and beautiful flowers and plants were such a wonderful setting to enjoy our time here. The place was very nice and we loved all the amenities the owner has. We will definitely come back to this area and we’d love to stay at this place again. The first floor of the parking garage was a wonderful place to park our car as the parking off the street was always full. The car stayed cooler by parking in the parking garage. This place was a huge blessing for us and made our time in Kauai great. This is a great location!!
