The location of this property cannot be beat, as it's situated on a bluff in beautiful Princeville -- a gorgeous, safe, walkable neighborhood on the North Shore -- within a short jaunt down to the beach and the 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay. It is priceless having that high-caliber, luxury hotel so close, as it's easy to walk to for drinks, dinner, or watch the sunset.The property itself was just as described, though it is definitely dated and needs a good refresh. The rugs were tattered and some of the furniture needs either re-upholstering or replacing. The beds were comfortable, though we needed extra sheets and blankets, which were locked away and not accessible. The jalousie window in the primary bedroom was broken and could not be closed, which allowed for the humidity to soak into the condo. The property manager said she would have the owner look in to fixing it. We just covered it with pillows as best we could. There were beach chairs, which were nice to have, but they are old and flimsy and could use replacing. It's a nice layout and the views are incredible. Easy to park right in front of the building. Overall, it's a very nice property with great potential to be incredible with a refresh.

Our stay was wonderful. Check in was very easy and communication with Lucy was great. Any questions we had she answered in a timely manner. Love that each room had separate AC. Beds were comfortable and the property was quiet. The views were to die for. Sat out on the lanai everyday just taken in the views. Kitchen was very well stocked. Was a short hike to Hideaways Beach and to Pu’Poa Beach and a short drive to Hanalei Bay and even to Kapaa. Would definitely recommend to family and friends and would stay there again. Thank you Lucy for a wonderful spot to vacation at.

Great stay! The big water views were stunning, sounds of the crashing waves awesome, and the condo was spacious with a well stocked kitchen. We are a family of 4 (2 teen sons). We did end up pulling one single mattress to the living room for our oldest who snores which worked great. Area: Princeville is such a pretty area. The hike down to Hideaway beach is fun. We spent most our time at Hanalei Bay beach (which is an 15 min drive) and spent allot of time driving/exploring the island. Happy Talk Lounge and Wiki pizza are a few blocks away at Hanalei Bay Resort (HBR) which was our fav w a drop dead gorgeous view of sunset. The valet parking at HBR was great too - we parked and used the cement path to walk down to the beach before dinner. We also walked next door to the 1 Hotel. But it’s fancier than we like. Notes: To open the door turn the key LEFT then turn a bit more until you hear a click - took us a while to figure this out w help from a neighbor. There are a flight of stairs to access the property from the parking lot. Would stay again.

Loved being so close to hideaway beach (it’s a struggle for my old joints, but well worth the short/strenuous hike, with incredible beauty and perfect size waves for my 9 and 11-year old kids)). All the beaches on the island are mostly empty. Wish there were more food options nearby, but that’s what happens on a small island- so, can’t really complain. Well stocked kitchen, lots of towels, extra mattress and bedding available for kids. Worked great.

Amazing location. On a cliff side overlooking the ocean. Beautiful views. Saw whales. It is the season. Watch surfers. On clear nights the stars were spectacular. The area itself is very nice. There are 2 beaches within walking distance- one easy to get to - the other is for the very fit. A very steep hill with rope supports. Short drive to the beach town of Hanalei which has a couple of nice restaurants, fabulous long shallow beach. The place itself is very spacious and well appointed. Lots of towels - beach and bath - large bathrooms, comfortable bed. Good closet space. Kitchen was well supplied. The expected basics were all there.Weber gas bbq which was well used for dinners. Large lanai with seating for 6. Good washer and dryer. Check in was easy. Had no reason to contact host so no opinion on responsiveness. All the initial instructions provided covered everything .Bottom line - we would return to this property in future were we to return to Kauai

We had the pleasure of staying at Paul and Priscilla's beautiful two-bedroom property in Princeville, and it was absolutely perfect for our family of four, including a teenager and an adult daughter. The property was exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and included all the amenities as advertised. The kitchen was fully stocked, which made our stay very comfortable. There was ample space for everyone to relax without feeling cramped. One of the highlights of our stay were the breathtaking ocean views and the stunning surrounding area, which added a special touch to our vacation. Paul and Priscilla were outstanding hosts; their communication was clear and responsive, making our experience smooth and enjoyable. We had a wonderful time and are truly grateful to have been able to share this lovely property. Should we return to Kauai, we would definitely look to book this exact location again. Thank you, Paul and Priscilla, for making our stay memorable!

My husband and 2 teenage sons spent a few days here before Christmas and it was truly magical! The owner checked in multiple times and was very responsive. The size of this property and attention to details such as having stocked cooking staples, laundry detergent, games etc. made it feel like a home away from home. We loved staying here and hope to be back in the future!

I've stayed in many different spots in the Princeville area including several in this Condo (Pua Poa). I'd have to say this is one of the best. We enjoyed the ability to walk out onto the lawn and the open patio not to mention the ability to cook and dine outside regardless of what the weather was doing. The kitchen is great for cooking, the beds comfortable and the owners are generous with beach toys and other outdoor items.

Phenomenal property nestled above the cliffs on the North Shore in Princeville. The accommodations were impeccable with everything you would need to have a fantastic time on Kauai. Communication with the property manager was fantastic and everything went even better than we hoped. They have extra gear for the beach and the view is breathtaking. We will definitely make another trip back thank you so much for having us you made my fiancé‘s birthday week special.

Nice place to stay with great view of ocean and surfers. Well equipped kitchen. Minor problems with plumbing encountered and of which property management is now aware.

This unit is very large with large living area and master bedroom. 2nd bedroom is tuked away in the back. View is spectacular and the deck is great for stargazing at night. So many stars with few lights in the Northend of the island. The noise from the waves is noticable with the windows open but can be closed out. Princeville has a long walking trail that borders the golf course and there are a few restaurants and shops nearby. It was a beautiful stay.

Reviewer Comments:
We have stayed at 6 different units in the Pu’u Poa condominiums, all providing different ranges of decor and care. The top floor provides incredible views, which was a primary driver in our selection of 403. However, the inside of this unit had several indications of less than ideal care of the property. Examples are: significant staining and wear of the primary bedroom carpet (needs replacing), evidence of someone kicking in the secondary bathroom door (hole in the door), splitting of the primary bedroom door, closet doors not shutting or opening easily, and no racks on the refrigerator doors to allow storage of drink bottles, etc. The furniture was adequate and there were plenty of beach chairs and boogie boards for fun days at Hanalei. We always enjoy our stay at Pu’u Poa, but the issues cited show that this unit is not well-cared for. For ~$6000/week, we have seen units in much better condition at Pu’u Poa and would seek those out before renting 403 again, assuming the issues cited above remain.

This place was so fun! Everything we wanted. We would definitely come again. AAA+ The beach next door was magical and a great place to swim. Plus, Hanalei Bay was so close!

Our stay at Puu Poa 405 was everything we had hoped for. The unit is a little outdated and still needs a few minor repairs, but nothing that would keep us from staying at this property again. Everything we needed was on-site. The condo was very comfortable and made us feel at home. The views are breathtaking from every room and the top floor unit made us feel like we were there all alone.Thank you to Kauai Kahuna Vacations group. Your staff was first class and very responsive. The welcome texts and access to concierge service was next level.We are looking forward to booking our next vacation at Puu Poa.

Wonderful and beautiful condo. Fair warning. If u have mobility issues this location will be a challenge. Though u would think since the condo is on the ground floor which one would assume it would be easy access, but there are a ton of steps and walking to get to it after you park your car. Upon arrival, we had all our suitcases including groceries from Costco. My husband who has a bad back and hips had a very challenging time. I seriously thought he was going to pass out so if anyone in your party has mobility issues, be warned and consider looking elsewhere. Other than that, the condo was very nice. Our coffeemaker broke. We called and they immediately replaced it but it was a used one. U would think that Vacasa would afford a new one, right?

Keith was an absolutely wonderful host for our family vacation. Honestly, I'm weary to write this review because this is such a perfect experience; I don't want to let the secret out. I would 100% stay in this condo again- the location was perfect for our family, the view was incredible and the condo itself was just beautiful. I would say this is the best rental home we've ever stayed in.

A little background on me… There is no more discriminating guest than myself. I find the pea under every mattress and trust me when I say: there was precious little to find lacking at this property! I lived on Kauai for almost 20 years before my husband and I returned to live on the Mainland in 2014. This was our first trip back to our home island of Kauai… and what a return it was!
Communication with Anne was easy and immediate. If you are staying at this unit and can’t find what you want, you just need to ask and it will most likely be there.
Views are unparalleled. Even if you want to stay on property the entire time, you can stroll down to 3 different secluded beaches and catch rainbows and Milky Way starlit nights from your very own huge lanai!
The furnishings are very tasteful indeed, and I found myself turning over cups and checking the name brands on quite a few items (I’m looking at you, Tommy Bahama bed coverings!) to do some shopping for my own home.
We stayed 8 nights, and I would have happily spent 2 weeks had it been available.
I can assure you, it will not be another 10 years until we return again, and I look forward to staying in this unit next time as well!

Fabulous location for our 8 night stay in Princeville. Furnishing and amenites were perfect. Beach chairs and towels made our walk to the beach easy. Grilling on the lanai while watching the surfers and turtles was amazing. Comfortable beds and a well stocked kitchen for the meals that we made. We stopped at Foodland for some staples and supplies. Nice store 5 minutes from condo. Walking path to golf course was a plus. Hideaway pizza (5 minute walk) was great.Would highly recommend this location if you want to enjoy the peace and calm of this part of the island. Mahalo

We had an amazing week at this condo—it was the perfect getaway! The home clean, with comfortable beds and cozy living spaces. The views from the condo are absolutely stunning. The setting was so peaceful and quiet, with only the sound of the ocean in the background. We enjoyed spending time at the pool, playing tennis with the rackets/balls provided, and relaxing on the secluded beach just below the condo. It’s easy to want to stay around the condo, but its convenient location made it easy to explore nearby restaurants and other beautiful beaches just a short drive away. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing beach escape.

Also loved the bar and wine beer frig came in really handy! We will be back soon!

The unit is in immediate need of upgrades. It is very dated and wasn't inviting. For the price we paid, we felt it wasn't stocked with a nice inviting kitchen to cook in, all the supplies were very old and the unit had a muggy and old smell. The mirrors are rusted and old in the master bathroom, and patios weren't clean. The view was beautiful however that was about all that the unit had to offer. We would definitely not stay there in that unit or recommend it to anyone. We saw the unit next door and would definitely stay there, it was very nice unit 409. Also a fan was broke and there is no AC and it was very hot. The iron ruined two of my outfits because it is so old and doesn't work and my clothes stuck and burned. Very disappointed ☹️ The property staff was very nice but misleading on the unit. I wouldn't represent a unit like this for your reputation as a property management company. Unit 410 needs a lot of work
