Beautiful spot with great ocean view, although Pali Ke Kua nearby has ocean and mountain views. Some deferred maintenance issues - air conditioning kept shutting off requiring frequent flipping of circuit breaker, front curtains would not completely close, some light bulbs were out, one beach chair was broken. But place was clean and overall we enjoyed our stay.

If you are looking for the perfect place to stay on the North Shore, this is it. The condo is incredible. Perfectly equipped, amazing view, perfect location, the master bedroom bed is so comfortable, and Keith (the owner)…we have never worked with a better owner in all our years of vacationing. Keith is Host Extraordinaire! He is also an incredible concierge and ambassador for all things Kauai. No need to continue scrolling….this is the condo you want to rent and Keith is the owner you want to rent from!!! This place is Perfect!

We celebrated our grandson’s first birthday and made wonderful lifelong memories in Kauai. The location of this condo is ideal and the living space is very functional for a family. The sunsets from the patio are amazing! The kitchen is well equipped. The condo has been well loved and is showing its age. Some general updates are needed as well as repairs of patio tiles. The overall cleanliness if the condo upon arrival was poor.

This condo was honestly the best place we’ve ever stayed in all our years of traveling. By far! From the moment we booked it months ago, Anne has been nothing but a wonderful host. She reached out immediately with some details of how to make our stay enjoyable; restaurants to eat at and places where we should think about getting reservations in advance of our arrival. The check-in process was a breeze and the condo was in perfect condition. There were some nice welcome gifts and the condo was STOCKED. Everyone has experienced those condos where the host hasn’t even provided you with a knife to use. Not this place. There was nothing we needed that wasn’t already available in the condo. Kitchen was stocked with anything you need and there were also all the things you need to go to the beach. Chairs, umbrella, coolers, snorkel gear to just name a few.
The location is awesome as well. It is secluded from all the busyness of a normal resort and yet you are close to town, the beach and places to eat.
I have already highly recommend this place and these hosts to many friends and family. We will definitely go back. Thank you Anne for your wonderful hospitality.

We spent 5 nights here and it was the perfect end to a two week Hawaii vacation. The location of the condo is perfect, an easy walk to the beach, pool and a few restaurants. Very easy to drive to Hanalei Bay. If you plan on eating in, the kitchen has everything you'll need. The host provides lots of information about the condo and local area and will answer any questions you have. If I'm ever back in Kauai, I'll definitely stay here!

The condo was perfect for our family of 4. It was clean, comfortable and stocked with everything we needed-from beach gear to cookware to cleaning supplies. It was warm during our visit but the a/c worked great! The location in Princeville provided easy access to both Puu Poa beach and Hideaway beach without the need to drive or find parking. The pool was quiet and never busy. The lanai is perfectly positioned to view every gorgeous sunset. Mahalo for sharing your condo with us for the week.

Beautiful ocean and Mountain View’s. We woke up with coffee on the lanai, listening to the ocean waves and birds chirping. The evening always ending in epic sunsets. It changed by the minute as the sun was setting.

The extra rotary fan was a bonus to help with the airflow.
Thank you for a wonderful, relaxing stay.

We had a wonderful stay in Kauai and at the Pua Poa. My wife & I stayed at the Pua Poa 12 years ago and remembered the views and spacious lanais. This unit was very nice. Furnishings could be updated, but overall the unit was clean and we had everything we needed. We're not overly critical as long as the ocean is still there. The only complaint was that the lanai was in need of repair, with a number of cracked tiles and weeds sprouting through the tiles that I believe housekeeping should have easily taken care of before our stay. Overall though, the unit was fine and we had a great stay.

We ended up staying in a nice 2nd floor unit here. It was comfortable and the views were amazing.We started out in a first floor unit that smelled strongly of mildew which I am allergic to. The only real problem was that the range in the kitchen had an electrical problem. A burner stayed hot even when it was turned off. My husband found the electric panel and flipped the switch. It was late on Father’s Day evening and we did not want to bother the man guy. I reported it and someone was supposed to come by and try to fix it. No one came and when i contacted management they were insistent that we had forgotten to leave the key in the lock box so Maintence could get in. Three of us were there when we put the key in. And besides we were easily contactable by phone. But rather than just saying “Oh sorry, let’s try again” management tried to make me feel like it was our fault. That’s poor customer service in my book.

We had such a fantastic time staying here in Kauai - everything was seamless! Enough can't be said about the owners; Paul was so quick to answer all of my questions (both prior to and during our stay) and went out of his way to make our visit outstanding! Everything in the condo was as pictured, the views were stunning, the kitchen was very well equipped with everything you would need for cooking, and the unit was stocked with everything we'd need for the week.
We liked the location - right in Princeville for groceries and some restaurants, a quick (though steep) walk to our favorite beach of our vacation (Hideaways Beach - the path is just outside the condo, amazing snorkeling and gorgeous views!) and a great walking/running path right outside. We ended up driving to Hanalei every day for its amazing restaurants, fun shopping and more beaches, which was only 12 minutes away, so we felt very centrally located for all of the things we wanted to do. We can't wait to come back!

Very nice property and condition. AC worked great, furnishings were nice and view was fantastic!! Internet is a little spotty, but could easily have been the area and not the unit. Kitchen was well appointed with all the utensils and items needed. The condo does get a bit warm in the afternoons (like most do there with wall unit AC's and not central AC), but the extra fans they brought in helped. Both bathrooms need new hairdryers, but were supplied with shampoo/conditioner & soap, so that was a plus. Overall, the experience was very nice and enjoyable.

My wife and I stayed at the Pua Poa 12 years ago and I remembered the spacious lanais and spectacular views. This time we traveled with another couple (all of us seniors). The unit provided us everything we needed. The furnishings were outdated, but everything was neat and clean. We are not overly picky, but the only complaint would be that the lanai was in need of repair. There were several cracked tiles and weeds popping up between the tiles that housekeeping could have easily taken care of to make things more visually aesthetic . However, our focus is on the ocean and relaxation, so we easily got passed those issues. Overall we had a great time there.

The condo is amazing! The views are fantastic, we enjoyed watching the sunsets as well as the surfers and boats cruising by during the day from the deck. The condo is incredibly spacious and was a comfortable place for our family to hang out. The kitchen was well equipped and washer/dryer was a big plus. We didn’t end up using them but there were beach chairs, snorkeling sets, boogie boards, beach toys, towels, and a cooler. The condo location is also great, walking distance to Hideaways Beach and Puu Poa Beach. The host also checked in with us to make sure check-in went smoothly and we had everything we needed.

Seamless check in, superb information from Mark. The view from the lanai and atrium is breathtaking! Excellent A. C....it's one of the reasons we picked this property. It kept the condo cool & comfortable for our stay (along with the many ceiling fans). The path down to Hideaways beach was challenging but doable for me (I'm short with weak ankles and I don't like hiking) in water shoes. My husband and 15 year old son (both quite tall) found it easy in flip flops/ bare feet. In case you're wondering, it was worth it!
I can't say enough about what great hosts Mark and Lynn were. Any time i reached out with a question, Mark replied very quickly and helpfully.
The space is comfortable, with plenty of places to sit, and a fully stocked and upgraded kitchen (important to us because we like to cook on vacation). The beds were comfortable, and all 3 of us slept really well. Princeville is a great location for exploring Kauai.
We have already decided as a family that when we return, we would love to book this unit again. Thanks again, Mark and Lynn!

I'm always a bit anxious about how the reality of a reservation will play out...this condo exceeded my expectations.

The new AC worked like a champ, and the size of the condo, well equipped kitchen + made this a great rental for our family - we had enough space to not make each other crazy, and making meals to enjoy on the lanai was a pleasure.

The sunsets were amazing everynight and it was so nice to be able to walk to Hideaway Beach. Be prepared for the trek to the beach, its an adventure. The condo does have several beach towels and a beach chair. Unfortunately, this condo needs some TLC. There were no cleaning supplies, not even a broom and dust pan. We had to buy our own hand soap. The kitchen only had 7 forks and 2 kitchen towels. We had several things break during our stay that had to be fixed. I would recommend a condo starting on the second floor because people were consistently walking by our window and looking in. The location was nice. Its at least a 40 minute drive to Lihue and 15 minutes to Hanalei.

the owner took a while to accept our booking ~ but VRBO took our insurance money ~ that was scary.
but it worked out i 2nd attempt.
as we loaded our luggage in ~ a big Heavy piece of a palm tree feel right on our luggage. (i have a video)
not the owners fault but theres a reason peopel pay good money to prune palms.
we go in. NICE VIEW!
And the. I realize. IT HAS NO AIR CONDITIONING I FORGOT TO CONFIRM AND IT’s Hooooottt IN THERE. No air flow and Kaua’i is getting hotter.
(my fault)
The REAL ISSUE IS ITS c+ level clean at best
back room smells funky / mildewey
Theres ground up piece of candy on the carpet. so we move the carpet.
as we lift it UP
all this dirt falls out.
Then we notics all the carpets have sand and dirt.
The cleaning lady comes back
then i see ants
all kinda stuff
too much to over look.
i call vrbo they put me on hold for 25 min no answer
so tonight im paying for both: Hotel and condo. i DO see what people like about it
but its a no for me.
CLEANING can confirm I never slept there.
own is free to reimburse me or not. i chose not to spend my shirt vacay arguing and waiting on the phone.
again. NO for me.

This was our 5th stay in a Puu Poa condo, so we love the location on a bluff overlooking the ocean. We even saw whales the first 3 days! This condo is a little tired compared to others we’ve stayed in. What makes the location special is also very hard on the property, so you have window and door issues from corrosion. Our grandkids loved the pool and Hideaways Beach down the bluff from the condo.
Minor issues were 2 non-working toasters (property managers got us a new one in a couple of days) and a barely functional coffee maker. The real bummer was the non-working clothes dryer which was not fixed until the last day of a 10 day stay. This was a big inconvenience.

Beautiful condo with a beautiful view! It was cozy and exactly what we needed. We had four adults and never felt crowded. The lanai is awesome for hanging out watching the ocean. Shopping and food are a quick car ride away. Definitely recommend staying here!

Thank you Steve and Janet for a wonderful stay! Your home is lovely and we had everything we needed for our 12 night vacation - really comfortable beds with plenty of pillows, a fully stocked kitchen, and expansive living areas. The lanai was where we were most of our time at the condo - beautiful sunsets, and a fantastic view. An ideal spot for north shore exploring. Mahalo!

This home was amazing very spacious for a single-family, specifically 3 of us.
The rooms were amazing each with its own a/c unit (very nice).
Very clean, all the amenities were great; washer and dryer were necessary since we are an adventurous family (a lot of hiking and beaches).
Beautiful views and awesome Lanai; beautiful sunrises and sunsets and exceptional walk to Hideaway Beach, like 10 min.
Princeville ….is Princeville absolutely stunning. Chickens are still here and I love ‘em as well as the Nenes’ so great!
Thank you again for such a lovely rental and providing my family and myself with such wonderful memories. God Bless.

From the moment we walked through the front door till we left the unit we were in awe of this unit! The unit was clean, well stocked, comfortable and the views were breathtaking! From a personal note of greeting and a couple of island treats to enjoy Anne was the perfect host. We didn't need anything at the unit, but Anne stayed in touch with us if we did.
One big perk to this unit is the added advice Anne gave on the island itself. We followed her tips and enjoyed fantastic food, excursions and the best beaches we have ever been on.
The view of the ocean was so nice! We enjoyed morning coffee and evening meals so much we stayed in our last night there and cooked for ourselves just to enjoy the sunset again.
Anne, you made our trip exceptional in ever way! Thank you for letting us stay at your place and we will be in touch in the future.

Extremely nice condo and location at Pu'u Poa in Princeville. Everything was amazing here, and by far nicer than our second condo on the south shore (albeit more expensive). The bed was super comfortable, the unit was spotlessly clean, and the AC blew ice cold which was incredible. View was perfect of the ocean, grill on patio was great for steak dinners, and everything in the condo worked as expected. Tons of gear and towels stocked at the condo. Owners were very great with communicating everything to us prior to our stay, and we never had to reach out for anything. This was an amazing place to stay in Kauai, princeville was our favorite location. Close to a great grocery store and all North Shore activities!

Fantastic condo in Princeville with jaw dropping views! We had a wonderful stay, cooked delicious meals in the well equipped kitchen and enjoyed them on the spacious outside deck overlooking the sea. Beds were super comfy and A/C was a bonus. Couldn’t have asked for a better place. Great communication with owner. Plus, snorkeling at Hideaway’s was the icing on the cake with the trail right outside the complex. Mahalo!

What a beautiful location! Really incredible property directly above Hidaways beach. The views are spectacular and the condo was very comfortable and well equipped. It’s also the closest private residence to the 1hotel entrance, which is hands-down, one of the top luxury resort locations worldwide. It’s a five minute walk to world-class dining, and literally some of the greatest views anywhere. Hideaways beach has some of the best snorkeling on the island and is relatively low traffic, thanks to the steep path to the beach. It can be a little treacherous down to the beach when it’s wet, but my pregnant wife and seven-year-old made it down multiple times with no issues. Overall a wonderful stay and an excellent deal considering the value of this property.

Great apartment with beautiful views over the ocean.
Very clean, everything worked and all amenities were provided, including full kitchen, soap/shampoo, detergent, towels, dvds, etc.
Many attractions in Kauai are in the South though, which require 1 hour or more of driving.

Absolutely gorgeous condo, amazing views (particularly sunset). Well appointed kitchen, beautiful furnishings. Keith was by far the easiest and most responsive host we have ever encountered. He truly wants you to have the time of your life. He felt like a friend to us by the end of our stay, although we never met him face-to-face. If we ever have the opportunity to get back to the north shore, this is the only place we would consider staying.

This place had everything we needed for an amazing week in Kauai! The kitchen was stocked with everything someone would need to make homemade meals and the Lanai was beautiful to sip morning coffee. Would absolutely stay again!
