We had an excellent stay at this condo in Princeville! The space was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with everything we needed. The views were absolutely beautiful—sunrises and sunsets were a dream. The location was perfect for exploring the island, and the property managers were incredibly responsive and helpful. We would absolutely stay here again!

Overall the condo was amazing, 2 BD, Kitchen, 2 bath, great sunroom and balcony, right on hideaway beach. Being on the N. end of the island is very nice and quiet, great access and close to other great beaches and hiking. Only about 1hr from the airport which is nice. Hideaway beach right behind the hotel is a very nice beach, the pool is a nice afternoon resting place. Many good restaurants, close to stores and other activities. Great place, location, and planning on staying again. The owner made the whole process very easy.

The property was magnificent. The views from the deck are beyond breathtaking. The kitchen is well stocked and there is plenty of room for 2 couples or a family.

We loved our stay. The condo had everything you could need or want with the most perfect views. This was our first trip to Kauai, perfect location to do all the things in the north shore / Hanalei area. Hideaway beach trail is a few steps away from the condo. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again if we are so lucky to come back.

This condo is spectacular. We came to Kauai for a wedding with a large group of friends and each got a condo in the same Pu'u Poa complex. Ours was by far the best, nicest, and newest. The wooden bar in the kitchen is a masterpiece and the apt is fully equipped with everything you need from beach chairs to a game closet and full barware. Thoughtfully renovated with an eye for design. Two beaches to walk to and just a few minutes to town by car. Mahalo!

Beautiful property nestled atop a cliff overlooking the beautiful blue pacific. My family enjoyed our stay in Princeville while exploring the north shore.

Our family of 5 fit easily with a pullout bed and the accommodations were beautiful. The hosts (Lucy and Doug) were very helpful and gave us some recommendations for local activities. We had a fantastic time in a beautiful condo and I hope to be a repeat customer!

The condo was perfectly stocked with everything you’d need for your stay and the views off the balcony are wonderful! Communication with the owners was prompt and they have all the things you’d need for the beach! We didn’t have to buy anything extra for our stay and we loved every minute! We even grilled dinner with the propane grill provided.

This place was outstanding! The views are amazing, of course -- even better than pictures can convey. We had everything we needed and the place was spotless. The surroundings were top-shelf. Very nice pool -- nothing over the top, just comfortable; the pool looks out over the ocean, too. All the residents, including a handful of kids, were quiet and respectful of others. We can't recommend it enough!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great Condo unit in a beautiful location. Great ocean views, nice grounds and pool area (no hot tub), good access to Hideaways Beach, nice overall location. Condo is older but updated and feels very comfortable. Great patio area, furnishings good. Could use to updates in the kitchen such as new pans, new toaster, etc. but overall nice and large kitchen with views straight out toward the ocean; beautiful sunsets, felt like we lived there. The lack of air conditioning was a little bit of a challenge as it wasn’t very breezy and we definitely slept warm, even with all the fans on (some of the fans need replacing). Overall comfortable and wonderful stay in a world-class location.

First time to Hawaii and glad we selected Kauai, Princeville and the property we were fortunate to enjoy for the week. The owner was very nice and helpful with several recommendations for beaches, food and other things to do. the property was very nice. I would certainly come back.

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! This condo was everything we had hoped for and more. It was spotless, beautifully maintained, and incredibly comfortable. From the moment we walked in, we felt right at home.One of the things we appreciated most was how well-stocked it was—every little detail had been thought of. The kitchen had all the essentials (and then some), the linens and towels were plush and plentiful, and there were even thoughtful extras like beach gear and bathroom essentials. The location was perfect too—peaceful and relaxing, yet close to everything we wanted to explore. We truly had everything we needed for a stress-free and enjoyable stay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful, comfortable condo in a great location. The condo was clean and fully furnished with high end amenities. We were surprised at all the beach gear. We also liked to use the telescope to view the ocean.The bed was very comfortable as was the living room furniture. Our only issue was not being able to use the balcony much due to a plugged drain, keeping standing water over half the area must of the time. Overall, we could tell the owner has great attention to detail and wants everyone to have a great vacation.

Absolutely spectacular accomodations. Property is exactly as advertised. The property was clean, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach in beautiful Princeville. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor deck with the gorgeous sunset views. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable beach vacation. Hope to return.

We enjoyed a couple of days in this gorgeous condo. The view is incredible, and we adore the "secret" beach down below the canopy. It was well stocked, clean, and very comfortable.

We loved the location. Close to the beach and pool. There are a lot of steps to get into the place and several steps in the home. My husband fell going down into the patio (luckily, he has strong bones) and twisted his ankle. We were disappointed with the unit as it appeared like it hadn't been kept up. The pictures were decieving. I've never given a negative review and don't like to but this was not what I was expecting.

Really awesome experience staying at this condo. It was super clean, and absolutely beautiful. Really cool area and location, and awesome scenery from the unit. Gary was very good at communicating and left clear instructions we can’t thank him enough.

What a beautiful place!!!!! We were truly in awe of the views from the balcony. The kitchen, bathroom, and closets had everything we needed!! The Vacasa property mngmt team was so helpful when we needed them!!!Suggestion- send a map of the property with check in email. Since it was already dark when we got to the property, we had no idea which building was ours. The directory map on the property is barely lit.

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful setting. Mark's condo was beautifully decorated and the view can't be beat. Mark was also great as far as communication went. He always responded to our questions promptly.Unfortunately, the weather wasn't the best but we still had an amazing time! I would definitely recommend Marks condo if you plan to stay in Kauai.

One of my favorites locations to have stayed while in Princeville. Very comfortable, clean, great location and well maintained.

May 2025

The place has incredible views both of the mountains from the front door to expansive ocean views from everywhere else. Very clean and spacious as well as the AC being great. Not a whole lot negative about the place. The primary shower head does leak a bit, but it wasn’t a big deal. I will say that being asked to clean dishes and do laundry for the price of the rental, which included a substantive cleaning fee, was a little frustrating.

Great stay! Condo was nice! Love that you added the beach chairs. They are a must when staying in Princeville! Views were stunning. Perfect for our family of 4! Beach was close but a steep walk….worth it if your up for the hike! Husband loved the golf course! Overall greatVacation!

We were so glad we ended up selecting this location on the North Shore, the condo was just as described. The lanais were the best part. We had everything we needed for the the entirety of our trip (didn’t need to go buy more toilet paper, etc). The communications coming from both the owner and the rental company led to a little confusion. With all the VRBOs I’ve stayed in before, all the info I needed was within the VrBO app. I had to hunt through old emails to find checkout info for this stay. That was my only negative point.

Our group was 2 couples at this spacious, beautiful condo with amazing views. We loved being able to walk to Hideaways Beach to snorkel just below our unit. We were able to navigate the steep descent to the beach, though anyone with physical limitations might have trouble. The ropes along the sides helped us manage. We saw some whales splashing in the distance, even in May! We made good use of the two lanais, having most meals outdoors and used the private BBQ. The pool is great and big enough to enjoy with others present. Note that there is only one portable AC in the back bedroom, that was too noisy to use. The primary bedroom temp was ok with opening the slider and using the fan. In warmer months, it could be too hot. We’d stay here again and highly recommend it.

The location and features of this property were just what we needed. I booked it based on the skylit atrium, and it did not disappoint. I spent happy hours there, rain or shine, with my husband or alone when he was hiking. The view of the waves on the rocky beach was wonderful, and the constant sound of the surf made a soothing backdrop. Tracey was great to work with; she let us know we might be impacted by some renovation on a nearby unit and compensated with early check in, which worked great for our situation. Our kids who were leaving the island would have gladly stayed there with us! The master bed was very comfortable, and we did not miss a/c due to the great ocean breeze.

We cannot say enough to express how wonderful this place is. It was absolutely perfect for our 2nd Honeymoon to celebrate 25 years together . Laurie was so kind and responsive. The location and views are paradise. Snorkeling with sea turtles and beautiful fishes at Hideaways Beach, hiking the trails along the Napali Coast, exploring the island - everything was magical here. The condo is beautifully decorated, comfortable, and equipped with everything you could possibly need. We are already thinking about our return trip! Mahalo, Anne and George!

May 2025

Beautiful view. Spacious accommodations. Quiet area. Well stocked kitchen (no seasonings or any supplemental food items, though. And no left-over storage like Tupperware). Comfortable beds. We really loved it. Reminder… it is a flight and a half down to the Vrbo…and no elevators.

Keith's residence was an absolute GEM of a find in Kauai. This was my first time visiting in Kauai and initially, I was planning on staying in Hanalei but when I came across Keith's location in Princeville, I couldn't resist booking my stay there. It was also very close to Hanalei, so a win there as well! From the moment I booked the property, Keith introduced himself and provided thoughtful suggestions for my first time in Kauai. When I arrived, I was speechless when I entered the residence. The views were 10/10 and the amount of detail in every inch of the place was amazing. I thought I was thorough, but WOW, I think Keith beat me there. The place was immaculate for cleanliness. There were plenty of beach items for me to use around the island. The kitchen was stocked with everything you basically needed just like I was in my own home. Prior to coming to Kauai, I stayed in Maui for 7 days and although both places were nice; Keith's hospitality, responsiveness and care that he put in the residence placed my Kauai stay way over the top. Keith, Mahalo for making my trip one of the most amazing vacations I have had. You should win TOP HOST of the year with your rental! Can't wait to return! Aloha!
