We loved and always love our stay on princeville. It’s in a prime location and Mari was extraordinarily helpful. The beds are super comfy, the shower was hot and the condo was entirely functional (aside from the dryer) That said there is LOT to improve the quality of this condo. The lanai is super dirty, the pool equipment was rusty and filthy - we didn’t use it. Both bedroom are in good shape, while some of the drawers don’t open or have bottoms. The refrigerator is 30 years old but works well enough, but knocks. The dryer didn’t work when we arrived, but was fixed. The appliances are old, the doors are off track on the pantry, the screen door to the entry is ripped.While we’ve stayed in princeville 3 times, and all the condos are dated, this one needed attention. We likely wouldn’t stay here again due to the lack of TLC.TLDR: this condo is old but comfortable, there are better quality condos for the same price in the same area. The host is lovely.

This property was perfect for us. We were close to lots of great food, nice beaches, and Haena State Park. The property was very much as described. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Place is pretty clean. Patio is super dirty and the cooler for the beach was nasty but we washed it and used it. Beach chairs were rusted but that comes with keeping them outside in a wet climate. Biggest problem was parking. You have one assigned spot but it’s shared with the neighbor next to you. There are unmarked spots you can park in, but they fill up by 7:30pm. This rental would be great for someone who wants to be home early. That was not us as we went to 1 Hotel for dinner and drinks nightly. We tried to get a hold of the on island host at 9pm one night when there was no parking and they never responded until the next morning. Giving us mad anxiety that our rental car would be towed since we parked on the grass (which it says is a towable offense).

It was dirty and dilapidated and not even ready at our check in time. Still had trash and disgusting sheets from previous guests. We checked in one night to another place which cost us 3x what we would have paid but then found another rental which was incredible. That being said, the agent we worked with was amazing and refunded us the full amount.

Just the right size for us 2. Clean and convenient. Stocked with every amenity needed for our stay. Beach chairs and umbrella were especially appreciated. M (manager) responded immediately to every inquiry we had. His instructions for check in and out were spot on. We stayed in Princeville several times and this is our favorite property.

The condo was exactly what we needed for a short two night stay. The host provided a lot of good tips and pointers for exploring the North Coast. The unit had a lovely bed, a clean bathroom, and a lanai with a great view. The AC unit was much appreciated for the warmer nights and afternoons when we were returning to relax before dinner. We liked the provided gear such as the cooler and beach chairs, but the only downside was the cooler needed to be cleaned (beer spillage and sand) and one of the chairs had a broken strap and mold growing on it (probably from storage on the balcony it could get wet). The other chair was newer and fine. We did not use the snorkel gear.

I stayed at this property solo for a few days. It was exactly as described and extremely well appointed and clean. The sun porch was nice to hang out on. I went to the pool a couple of times and it was well kept and not crowded. I would stay again and recommend it for either solo travel or a couple that plans to be out sightseeing and doesn't require a ton of extra space.

Me and my wife had an amazing stay here! The room was very comfortable, nice and clean! The outside lanai was a great place to sit and hangout. The amenities in the room were very convenient and the refrigerator and shower were bigger than expected. The pool and jacuzzi were great and very relaxing. The grills available next to the pool were also great and we made a nice steak dinner during our stay. Robyn was wonderful, friendly, very communicative, and responded quickly to any questions we had. Highly recommend and we hope to stay again sooner rather than later at our next available chance! Thank you again Robyn for an amazing stay! Can't wait to stay again!

Staying at Kim's home in Hanalei was an absolute dream.. The setting is nothing short of breathtaking—lush greenery, stunning mountain views, and the calming sounds of nature all around. It’s incredibly peaceful, making it the perfect place to unwind and truly relax.The home itself is beautifully maintained with thoughtful amenities that made our stay so comfortable. From a well-stocked kitchen to relaxing outdoor spaces, everything was just right. The bed deserves a special mention—it was unbelievably soft and cozy, and we slept better than we have in ages.This home is a true gem, and we feel so lucky to have experienced it. We would recommend it in a heartbeat to anyone looking for tranquility, comfort, and beauty in Hanalei. We already can't wait to return!

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights. The king bed was very comfortable with a nice fan overhead. A/C worked perfectly. We loved the lanai to enjoy dinner and just relax. The use of beach chairs and snorkel equipment was very helpful. Kimberlee was always available for any questions and the check-in was super easy. A great place to stay!

Great location. Condo is more updated than some. Has a hot tub and pool and is walkable to many beaches if you are in shape enough for the trails down. Only things to know is there can be quite a bit of road noise if you are not used to it. I found the sound proofing between the condos was better than most. Cookware was in good shape Furniture has the normal type of wear and tear a beach condo gets. It does get a bit warm. No air conditioning. Wasn’t too hot the week we were there. Probably not above 80.

Kimberlee made our stay unforgettable! From check in to check out, Kimberlee made sure that we had everything that we needed. Her home was perfect for a couples getaway. The amenities and cleanliness were top notch. Being right in Princeville made it walkable to beaches nearby, the shops in Princeville, and sunsets from the lookout. A short drive to all the activities the north shore has to offer. The balcony was perfect for morning and evening book reading while watching the golfers. If and when we come back, we’ll be coming back to Kimberlee’s piece of paradise!

My wife and I stayed at Kimberlee's rental home for about a week. We had a wonderful time! The location is very convenient to visit the state park and Hanalei Bay. Being from a cooler climate, the AC in the bedroom made it very comfortable to sleep at night. Kimberlee went above and beyond in making sure our stay was comfortable. She was very responsive when we asked questions. When I asked if a meat thermometer was available for grilling, she bought one and dropped it off the next day! We would gladly stay again.

The apartment is spacious, lovely and well appointed. There is a full kitchen, regular size refrigerator, and two Weber gas grills at the pool for those who like to partake of the fresh fish and produce available on island. The lanai is pleasant and looks out on greenery, grass, and the pool, although the pool is hidden by a fence. The unit has designated parking, although sometimes others parked there. However, management quickly responded, and there were always other spaces available. It is important to know that this is an condo complex and so there can be noise. However, this usually ceased at designated hours. Also, the bedroom and connected bathroom had windows that opened onto the lanai next door. When I first got there, people were sometimes making noise early in the AM or after quiet hours at night. The next people there did not do this. Overall, this is nice, convenient unit for a single or a couple wanting to be in Princeville and close to Hanalei. Anini Beach, my favorite, is just a short drive as well. Also management can provide guidance and booking for local activities.

This condo was just what we needed for our family of four. A couple beach chairs, umbrella, cooler were used every day! We cooked most of our dinners at the condo and used the bbq grills at the pool too. The road is a little noisy but was expected. We loved the birds and trees in the wind. Plenty of fans to keep the temperature down. Thank you! Thank you! We love the Princeville area and surrounding beaches and fun!! Can’t wait to come again!

Really cute condo that smelled horribly of vomit from the instant you open the door. It was so bad that I went to the grocery store and bought air freshener and vinegar in order to combat it. Even after dousing the place with vinegar and air freshener I could barely sleep there. Glad I only stayed one night. Also the complex is very large and I would have appreciated a map to explain where the unit was. I spent at least half an hour walking around the complex of looking for the condo.

Kimberlee was a great host and the house had everything my fiance and I needed for the week. She has snorkel equipment, boogie boards and a variety of beach items. Kimberlee was kind to be flexible on check-in and check out times. The pool and spa that are on-site were great. One thing to note is that if you are noise sensitive, the property is alongside the road. Overall it was a great experience and was centrally located to the beaches, very close to the walking path and golf course and is close to many things within Princeville.

Easy to find and was fully stocked as advertised. We didn’t use any of the kitchen items as we were with another group who had a full kitchen but it does have a full size fridge. The bed was comfortable, cold AC if needed, big shower with bath gel, shampoo and conditioner. As mentioned in other reviews the walls are paper thin so bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper. It’s on the 2nd story with no elevator. The snorkel gear provided looks new and in great shape but we didn’t use it. Also provided are 2 beach chairs, beach umbrella, small 6 pack cooler with frozen cold packs, 3 beach towels, which we appreciated very much, and a rain umbrella. The bathroom sink is a big bar sink with a high kitchen faucet. Plenty of supplies for washing dishes under the sink. We didn’t use the pool but it’s close by. The lanai faces the parking lot so not much to look at but it was still an enjoyable stay. It was a good location for our 3 days up north.
