I have stayed at Pua Poa 10 or 12 times. At one time , I lived just around the corner. Host was good. He fixed the door while I was there. The unit is tired! They lead you to believe it's been remodeled but it's really not. They added a few things that were haphazardly done.

We had a wonderful stay, the perfect place and location. We found the place as advertised. The host responded immediately to the one and only small issue we had. We recommend the place to all, would love to come back some day.

Keith was a superb host, very welcoming without being intrusive. He offers more creature comforts than we have experienced in other VRBOs we have rented.

This location and unit is spectacular! The hosts thought of everything you could ever need or want. It is right next to the One hotel, has the most amazing view and its own beach! This unit is also walking distance to fabulous restaurants . When we come back to Kauai we will rent this unit again. The hosts were super responsive to any questions we had. It was luxurious, elegant and clean. The bed was amazing also, and listening to the waves as we fell asleep was priceless. It was the perfect spot for the perfect Hawaiian vacation. We will be back!!

The condo was beautiful. Had a couple minor issues upon arrival that were resolved immediately. Communications with the owner and housekeeping were excellent. Kitchen was well stocked and organized. They have a glass water wall that is beautifully backlit at night. I would definitely stay here again.

This was our first stay on Kauai, and what a place to start! The forecast was for rain throughout our visit, but the weather-guessers got it wrong... and we were blessed with fantastic weather throughout our stay. The condo was clean, very well stocked, and the kitchen had all the necessary items for cooking meals. The only minor gripe is that the mattress in the master bedroom seemed a little past its prime and could use replacing soon. That said, it did not greatly affect our stay. The patio offered breathtaking views of the rugged coast to the north; and surfers, turtles, and breaching whales were spotted during our visit. The Puu Poa condo complex appeared to be well kept, had ample parking available, and the pool and tennis facilities were much appreciated. It is an easy walk to both Puu Poa and Hideaway beaches. We ended up loving the Princeville area and would highly recommend it. Will visit again!

This is a lovely condo with amazing views. If I could give it a 4.8, I would. The only reason it wasn’t a 5.0 is we had to have the master bath clean completed after we arrived, and the dishwasher wouldn’t work twice during our stay. The response to the issues was very prompt! The condo is even more spacious than it appears from the photos. Everything needed in the kitchen was there - very well stocked. The bed was comfortable, and the sitting areas were relaxing. The real bonus was all of the beach equipment. We didn't need to buy or rent anything - chairs, cooler, snorkels, beach towels, even binoculars. We would definitely stay here again!

description of Ocean Front is not accurate… It was impossible for us to get to the beach and very treacherous. There is also 3 levels of stairs to get to the condo…. Carrying luggage up and down was very hard. construction in parking lot closed our parking area… Strong mildew smell when we checked in. and at times the guest bathroom has a sewer odor

Keith was a perfect host. Welcoming, informative and proud of the family's condo. Much to be proud of. Perfect view, very comfortable and the layout takes advantage of viewing the splendors that God gave us on the Napoli Coast. Well equipped and well taken care of.

The owner has supplied everything you need, if not, she tries to accommodate or supply your request. The view is beautiful and the furniture is stylish and comfortable. The beds were also comfortable. The unit was quiet with a tennis court and pool. It is across the street from a golf course and walking path. Lucy was the best owner we have ever dealt with in a VRBO. Check out the Hotel 1 bar next to the unit and the Princeville market Center.

After locking ourselves out within 5 minutes of arrival, at 9pm, in the pouring rain, management sent someone with the key to let us in within 20 minutes. So very thankful.Condo is well appointed and very comfortable with tremendous views. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful condo! We loved our stay here! The condo is beautiful with stunning views. We loved everything about this spacious, clean, and tastefully decorated condo. We loved the location and how well maintained the condo, the entire condo complex, and surrounding area was. It was wonderful for our family of four! We hope to return!

This condo is beautiful! We loved everything about it! It was clean and very well maintained! It was very roomy for our family of four and we loved sitting in the living room and looking out the expansive patio window onto the beautiful view outside! The patio was also large and the large wrap-around sofa made it also comfortable and fun to sit outside and enjoy the stunning view. My only recommendation (and this doesn't take away from this gorgeous condo at all) is to provide some beach chairs/gear to use at the beach. This wonderful condo is definitely 10 out of 10! We hope to be back!

The home was incredibly spacious and the views were incredible. The layout was perfect for our family and everything was well stocked.The nights were cool with the big beautiful sliding doors open and the fans going, and the house was also nice and cool in the daytime. Impeccably clean, and as others have said, more spacious and even nicer inside than the pictures show. We would 100% stay here again. If you are looking at other places, the slight price increase for this location over some others is totally worth it.

We stayed here for two weeks in December and enjoyed it. The location is peaceful and quiet, with ocean views exactly like the photos in the listing. Check‑in was easy, and the condo itself was spotless, nicely decorated, and surprisingly spacious. It was just the two of us, but there was easily enough room for four. The huge living room TV with multiple streaming apps was a great bonus.The hosts also stocked the place with thoughtful extras—soap, shampoo, conditioner, laundry detergent and dryer sheets, and even a filtered‑water pitcher in the fridge—plus other conveniences that made settling in easy and the suitcase lighter. The bed was very comfortable, and there was an assortment of pillows so you can choose what works best for you. All amenities were in good condition, and the pool was always clean and refreshing. Lots of room for parking. We did feel the pricing was a bit higher than comparable places we've stayed. A couple of tips: bring binoculars for whale watching, and note that the bedroom door is louvered—so if you’re sensitive to light or sound, pack an eye mask and earplugs. Another tip: the doorbell isn’t working, and the door locks automatically when it closes, so keep your key handy.Our favorite food spots were Happy Talk (don’t miss it!) during their 3–6pm Happy Hour) and The Terrace for another solid Happy Hour option. Also, the Hanalei Burger, Big Nick’s, and Hanalei pizza by the slice.

Comfortable. Clean. Convenient. Our family of 4 loved our stay! Don’t let the lack of a/c concern you. We’re sensitive to heat and it never once was too warm. The condo was stocked with everything we needed, from cooking utensils and dish ware to beach gear and games. It was spotlessly clean and the beds were very comfortable. Its location is perfect with an easy walk down to Puu Poa beach and a short drive to Hanalei and Kilauea.

The location of the condo is perfect with beautiful views of the ocean. We watched whales breaching from the balcony in the mornings. It was walking distance to the 1 Hotel which is beautiful and has great food. It’s a quick drive down to Hanalei-a cute town with restaurants and shops. I would always stay in this location while enjoying beautiful Kauai!Condo was spacious and clean and if we had questions the owners were quick to respond. Great experience! Mahalo!!

Our host was very accommodating and welcoming. The unit was everything that it appeared in pictures. Better still, the beds were very comfortable and pillows didn’t give me a neck ache. Location was beautiful, with beautiful views. The location pool was warm, clean and barely used by others. Short drive into town. All and all a 10.

We had a fantastic time staying at Noel and Erica’s Pua Poa condo. It’s steps (a bit steep, but not too difficult to navigate) from a beautiful, private beach with a coral reef for snorkeling. Others surfed further out where the waves break. The condo and its location were perfect. We would love to stay again.

Amazing views, spacious living/dining areas, perfect for our family of four. We went more often to the beach at 1Hotel through the public access stairs (long walk down!) versus Hideaway beach given surf was up and the walk to Hideaway is a bit more difficult (muddy, steep, beach is steep and rougher..). Both were so beautiful though! And the pool was nice also. Would definitely stay here again.
