We couldn't have found a more perfect place to stay for our Hawaiian getaway. This condo is magical with unobstructed ocean views from every room. We spent lots of time in the two sitting rooms or on the lanai sipping a coffee or glass of wine and soaking in the gorgeous ocean view - or view of the stars at night. The condo offers lots of amenities, such as a lovely welcome basket, and was quiet and private. There are lots of activities available walking distance, and we snorkeled nearly right off the condo every day (some of the best snorkeling we found on the entire island. We saw multiple turtles every time we were in the water.) Other water sports, such as paddle boarding and canoeing, and a beautiful spa are also available at The One Hotel which is right next door to the condo. Additionally, we spent lots of time checking out restaurants and additional beaches in Hanalei Bay which was just a quick drive away. Overall - 10/10 experience. Couldn't recommend enough.

We loved the views and the location. The unit itself is a bit worn and dated but given that we were mostly out exploring this was not an issue for us. The unit was clean except for the washing machine which had had an exceptionally strong mildew odor. Running a sanitization run did not eliminate the odor.
We also had problems with the master bed, which had partially collapsed on one side making it a single. Although it was fixed the second day of our stay, coordinating with the maintenance crew was not the vacation experience we had hoped for and we were pretty surprised when we asked for a 1-hour later checkout it was denied. It would have been a small token given the issues we had with the bed.
You should note that this is not a true 2 bedroom. The "master" bedroom has a privacy blind for the wall facing the ocean, so there is no sound privacy form the living room.

We have stayed in this condo quite a few times because the view is wonderful. It is also very spacious.

We love this place. It's perfectly set up for a rental. A few faucets need (attention) replacing and the window units are in disrepair, but it's still one of the best rentals on the property.

This condo exceeded our expectations. The view is even prettier than the photos, if you can imagine.The condo is very spacious and has a space for everyone to relax and chill. We went with boys in their mid 20's. We liked the Hawaian decor. The kitchen is totally complete. This condo is the end unit so has a large outdoor space. The whole place was quiet and we always had the pool to ourselves. Hideaways beach is around the corner and was our favorite beach on the North Shore. Highly recommend! We hope to go back.

The condo was beautiful, clean, spacious, quiet, peaceful, everything you want. The property was well maintained & very clean, & ample parking. Unfortunately, there was no mention about staircases in the online info & I booked this ground floor condo as I was traveling with my 89-year-old mom & needed to avoid staircases. There is a very long walkway (from the parking lot) which includes several steps, and then (approx.) 25-30 additional steps to the ground floor. This was a hardship for my mom & to say I was displeased about this would be an understatement. It stands to reason that a ground floor unit would not include staircases unless it's specifically stated in the listing. I read the info about the unit again on the flight home & could not find anything about staircases to a first-floor unit. This may not be a hardship for everyone, but I wanted to include it in my review as it may be helpful information another family. The front door lock was very hard to open, & I needed to call customer service upon arrival for assistance & received immediate assistance. The sliding glass door (on one side) is virtually impossible to open & the cushions on the lanai furniture are stained & very dirty & need to be replaced. All that said, it really is beautiful, & they do provide almost all you need, beach towels, beach chairs, stocked kitchen (minus food of course), etc. I would not stay here again due to the stairs, it's too much with luggage. Please update your listing!

What a stunning location and amazing place to stay! We really wish we could stay longer. We absolutely loved sitting inside the air conditioning and being able to see the most beautiful ocean and pool outside through the expansive windows. We also enjoyed the outside balcony/deck with the giant umbrella, opened to shade us from the sun while we sipped wine and watched the beautiful surroundings. This condo is equipped with everything! From dish soap to body soap, hair, shampoo, and conditioner, all the toilet products and paper towels, linens, and towels in the bathrooms. The beds are super comfortable with nice pillows for a great nights sleep! Beautiful showers with great water pressure! No problems with noise here at all! Also, I read the reviews about the stove being worn off, but it didn’t bother us at all. It was pretty simple to figure out which was which. They even had a rice cooker here which was great. Being so close to Hanalei Bay (which is really fun for shopping and eating, just park your car and walk around) made it convenient for our Na’Pali boat tour. Except for using a pool towel during our stay, we never got a chance to take advantage of all of the other amenities this place offers. We really enjoyed the hike down to Hideaway Beach. Other people drive here and park in a small parking lot, but all you have to do here is walk out your door and over to the path down to the beach. It is steep, but there are rope handrails to hang onto. This place is A+

This is an amazing apportioned unit. It felt like home it was so comfortable but with a feeling of luxury at the same time. The view was incredible with a huge deck to look out over the ocean with the sun above and listening to the waves below. The property owner was very attentive and I would highly recommend this property. The whole area was beautiful.

This is my favorite rental property I’ve stayed at worldwide. So many beautiful details from the artwork to cleanliness to a very well stocked kitchen.. Oh my gosh the VIEW. Cannot beat it. Front row seat to every sunset. Hosts were easy to reach, even though I never needed them because we had no issues during our stay. We were happy to have the AC, would have been to hot and humid without it. I will 100% be back to Kauai and this property. Hideaway beach is a quick walk away but beware it is a little difficult to “hike” down to the beach. Especially if it rained, it’s muddy and slippery.

Our stay at this condo was amazing. Condo is exceptionally clean, exceptionally decorated and exceptionally furnished. The kitchen was literally the most completely furnished kitchen we have ever had in a rental. Our hostess and host, Lucy and Doug go so fare beyond being great hosts it is hard to describe. Every need met, every expectation of hosts exceeded. How incredibly unusual to end a week in Princeville with two new friends! We could not possibly exaggerate what a wonderful week it was. Sincere Thanks, Hope to see you again soon. Michael & Georgia

This property was stunning and perfectly located with excellent communication from the host. We traveled to 3 islands on this trip and stayed at VRBO’s on each leg and this unit was by far the best. The communication from the owner throughout the process and the amenities of the unit were top both top notch.

The condo was exactly as described, roomy, great place. Walking distance to the 1 Hotel and all its restaurants/bars, and walking distance to a couple of cool beaches (though it's a bit of a hike down the hill). The unit gets warm but it has air conditioning. Very easy to check in/out. Would come again!

Friends recommended this condo for location and views and they were so right. The condo had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The expansive views of the Pacific and Na Pali Coast were spectacular. We even saw turtles on the reef below. Nearby walkable beaches were idyllic. It was an easy drive to Hanalei too.

We had a great time at the condo - the views are amazing. The lanai is very spacious with a table and umbrella for outside dining and two lounge chairs. The primary bedroom is very large as is the bathroom. The second bedroom is also good sized. The kitchen was well equipped for us - we did not cook much. We really liked the wood floors throughout, which made the space much warmer. We were able to drop our bags early, which was helpful as we had a late afternoon permit to hike and did not want to leave bags in the car. We walked to both the Hideway Beach and the beach next to the One Hotel, both are beautiful. The condo has tennis courts, which our adult children used. It's an easy trip to Hanalei for meals and a grocery store is within 10 minutes. We were in Kauai during March madness and appreciated the large TV in the living room to watch the games. The sound of the sea was the only sound we heard at night. A beautiful spot!

An absolute gem in Kauai! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning ocean views. Despite the intermittent rain, we couldn't have asked for a better setting to relax and recharge with the soothing sound of rain on the roof. The condo itself was cozy, impeccably clean and outfitted with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
One of the highlights was having so much within walking distance. The hidden beach right below offered some seclusion from the hustle and bustle of tourist crowds, and also happens to be a great surf and snorkeling spot. There’s also the 1Hotel nextdoor with fantastic food and drinks. When we weren't spending time at the beach, we were having a blast playing pickle ball right outside the condo, or swimming in the pool. Having access to pickle ball paddles, beach chairs, and snorkeling gear provided in the condo was a huge plus!
Thank you to our wonderful hosts for sharing this slice of paradise with us. We can't wait to return!

This unit was beautiful - even better than the pictures! The outdoor lanai was amazing and we had everything we needed. If you are looking for a peaceful retreat, this is the place. If you want to be closer to the action, then you might consider a rental in nearby Hanalei. We were happy to be in a quieter spot, and didn’t mind the short drive, particularly given how nice this place is. Recommend.

We were so happy with this condo. Very nice area and always felt safe. We loved the space and open floor plan. We saw whales from our balcony and turtles every day in the bay below. We loved having the BBQ grill and access to all sorts of beach gear. The patio furniture was perfect and the scenery was amazing. We would most definitely stay in this unit if we returned to this area again.

Ive traveled 1 million + Miles on Delta alone ~ that to say, I’m a VERY experienced traveler. This place is GREAT! location yes of course, Its Kauai BUT! more importantly: CLEAN! very clean. Seems to be Newly renovated / designed and is truly well stocked! As of April ‘24 ~ It had that unmistakable FRESHNESS. The ONE ISSUE? Construction noise. I do know that Neighbour closeness noise and Stair way noise is to be expected ~ and jt really traveled thru open windows. BUT THE CONSTRUCTION NOISE. THAT sucked. I know you cant control these things ~ so i STILL loved my stay at this CLEAN , WELL STOCKED AMAZINGLY APPOINTED CONDO. Also Kauai is changing and some seasons you NEED AIR CONDITIONING ~ this place and great air flow. ceiling fans and A/C units.

The listing was accurate, and the place was fantastic! With there being so many good places to eat in Kauai, we found ourselves getting everything to go just so we could have our meals out in the lanai. The views are amazing from both the lanai and the master bedroom. Lucy was very pleasant. On our first day, she even dropped off some new gear for snorkeling! The check in process was easy. The location of the condo is perfect, being in a nice community full of friendly people. The condo has everything that you'll need in case you'd like to cook a meal, and everything you'd ever need for a day at the beach. The property is not far from Hanalei, which has great places to shop and eat. With Kauai being a small island, it's not too much trouble to drive to the South Shore. I found Princeville and Hanalei to be exactly what I was looking for, in that it's the perfect place to relax for vacation. Upon checking out, Lucy wished us safe travels. I hope I can come back next year!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay in this beautiful condo. It was exactly as pictured and described and we will miss it when we check out shortly. The location was excellent and we just could not get enough of hearing the waves all night. Excellent cross breezes kept us comfortable. Well-stocked and we utilized the great grocery store right down the road. Plenty of space for our family of four and we got a lot of use out of the spacious lanais and the pool too. We hope to have the opportunity to stay here again in the future. Mahalo!

We didn't have enough days at the property (do you ever though) but enjoyed the space and the view when we could! Always rainbows to see off the lanai and it is in a very peaceful area.

This is our absolute favorite property to stay in Kauai. The host Gary, is amazing to work with. the property its self is absolutely beautiful. The beach just a short walk away was our favorite. We had our teen age daughter with us and did a lot of excursions on the south side. My husband and I decided next time when it’s just the two of us we would golf, beach and things here in Princeville. If you are looking for a relaxing atmosphere with a stunning view this is the place!
