Recent The Cliffs Reviews


The hosts are wonderful. Best view on the island. Great wildlife, Feral, chickens, albatross chicks, lots of birds, and whales that I could see with my binoculars from the lanai. Fully stocked condo if you like to cook.

I thought I was staying in my own home. Couch comfortable and L shaped cosy. Beds cozy. Kitchen fully loaded but I didn’t use it much. Laundry. Beach chairs. Nothing left out. Love love love.

This unit is spacious, airy and nicely furnished. When we reached out to the host with a question, the response was quick and very helpful.

This was a beautiful spot - great views of ocean and plant life. The chickens were fun to watch - the roosters kept us on our toes and helped us get up in the morning. We will definitely stay here again.

We had a lovely stay at this property. It could use a deep clean due to its age, but we loved the receptionist desk, lime trees, hot tubs, and astounding ocean view. I would recommend this property.
Alicia C.
May 2025

Property fully equipped with anything you might need. When we go back to Kauai we would love to book the rental again. Only downfall of the area was we were very disappointed in the food on the North Shore, pricey and not very good.

We have stayed at The Cliffs on three prior visits, all with an ocean front condo. We chose to switch it up this year and choose another condo on the property. This unit is exactly as advertised. Clean, updated, quiet (aside from the roosters - not much you can do about that). This was a great value to be able to still enjoy the Cliffs property. The balcony has a nice garden view where the cardinals, mynas, and doves visited us every morning and dinner. Kitchen was clean and updated, bathrooms the same. Beach chairs and umbrella came in handy. Overall, fantastic experience.

We stayed at the property April 27 - May 3rd 2025 and found it to be exactly as described and shown in the pictures. The property was in immaculate condition and included everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We loved spending our mornings with coffee and breakfast on the lanai. What a magnificent view! The beach chairs, umbrellas, mats, boogie boards and coolers available to use made it easy to spend time at the beaches. The Cliffs resort is in a very good location - a beautiful neighborhood close to a walking and bike path around the golf course, close to restaurants and beaches. The resort properties and landscaping are very well maintained and offers gas BBQ grills, social activities, workout equipment, a nice pool, Pickleball courts and much more! The owners provided detailed directions to the resort and check in procedures upon arrival. We found the binder they provided with recommendations for activities and restaurants in the area very helpful.This was truly an unforgettable vacation in paradise and we hope to return again! Highly recommend staying here!

Stayed for two weeks in this condo. We love the cliffs and all the amenities! Great location to get to so many different beaches, we love staying on the North Shore! Had a great time renting the bikes and riding to Princeville for ice cream! The condo has everything you could need. Beautiful sunsets over the bluff! We liked the privacy of the deck into the Garden view.

May 2025

This was a great stay. A minor issue with the key, but easily resolved the next day. We were in Princeville with friends and family all staying within 3-4 minutes of us. This is a convenient spot if you’re staying in Princeville. The bluffs, golf course, plenty of roads for walking/running and gorgeous scenery all around. We walked to a yoga class on the bluffs of the golf course. Very close to Foodland for any grocery needs. The condo was lovely and the lanais were great for morning coffee.

May 2025

The condo is on a great property and has a great layout, but could use a remodel. Nothing was broken, just old and dated. The view is really amazing, so that makes up for it. Also, they could use some new beach chairs and umbrellas....the chairs were in pretty rough shape and the umbrella were useless since they can't be screwed into the sand. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Short drive to everything on the North shore. Clean property, beautiful surroundings, and I'm my opinion, best location for unit in the complex. Bottom floor, end unit, larger patio. Easy parking too!

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying in this Princeville condo during a month long trip to Hawaii where we visited each of the 4 main islands. Of all the great places we stayed, this was probably our favorite. The condo was clean, spacious, and comfortable boasting awesome views of the ocean beyond the cliff. Very conveniently located to all the beaches and attractions of the north shore. Would absolutely love to stay here again!

Loved our stay at the Cliffs in Princeville. The property is clean, gorgeous view, well stocked kitchen for those that like to cook, everything you need for a trip to the beach or pool, lots of activities on property and nearby. Couldn't have asked for more!

This was a really wonderful property! Clean and spacious condo with all the beach gear we needed! The grounds and beautiful with a nice pool, rec center with lots of activities, and chairs to sit in and watch the sunset on the lawn.

Great property and amenties that is close to our favorite beaches on the island.
Crystal D.
April 2025

This was a great studio for 2 people. The deck/lanai was incredible, felt like you were in the forest. The kitchen was well appointed with the basics & the shower was great. The unit was equipped with 2 beach chairs, 2 boogie boards & a beach umbrella - so nice for the beach. The only negative is that the TV didn't work very well. We had one stormy day and it would have been nice to be able to watch a movie .

April 2025

The unit is exactly as described. Well maintained and very clean given the challenges that the tropics/proximity to the ocean create for keeping a clean/functioning place! The owner was fantastic and communicated quickly and frequently when needed. The property is great with tons of offerings, including a lovely set of pools and hot tubs. You won’t regret staying here!

This condo has beautiful views that allowed us to feel Hawaii even as we relaxed "at home" in between outings. The property had everything we needed to be comfortable and prepare meals at home; and the property owners were very helpful and available for any of our questions.
Sandy C.
April 2025

This condo is positioned perfectly. The primary bedroom windows and lanai make for lush garden views and the ocean views from living and kitchen are amazing. Beds were comfy enough and they had a stocked kitchen. We loved this condo and would book it again. My only issue was the condo didn’t feel super super clean. The linens were definitely washed and clean but the floors felt a bit dingy. This is more of a housekeeping issue than overall the condo experience.

Came for a family vacation. Perfect for what we needed. Accurate listing and we loved every second.

April 2025

The property itself was great. We had a lovely time. The unit was well stocked and very comfortable for my family. After traveling all day, however, it was frustrating to not be able to check in at 4:00 as expected. We had to wait till almost 5:00 to get into the unit. The front desk staff was helpful in allowing us to put our groceries in their fridge/freezer so we didn't lose everything we bought.

What a cool find! We stayed at the Cliffs in mid-April, and were pleasantly surprised with our experience. The condo was comfortable, clean, and well-decorated. We loved sitting outside to eat breakfast. And the property was GORGEOUS, with so many amenities. Beautiful pool area, bikes to rent, pickle ball/tennis courts, basketball, etc—but my favorite were the Adirondack chairs overlooking the cliffs. Just a gorgeous place to sit at sunset. We were in awe! We also loved the small market they had in the rec room one morning—fresh foods, crafts, etc. This was our favorite place to stay on the island! We were also close to Hideaways Beach, our favorite. Thanks for the best time in Princeville!

April 2025

The property was well stocked and had all the amenities we needed for a week long stay with our toddler. We loved waking up and exploring the grounds from the floor level entry and had more than enough space in the condo for our family. We’d definitely stay again at this condo and at the Cliffs Resort!
Katie W.

This was an excellent condo with amazing views. We were extremely comfortable and our family (children and grandchildren) were very happy. Wine and chocolates as a welcome gift and coffee beans for the very cool coffee maker. We hope to return some day!

April 2025

We had a wonderful stay at this condo! The unit was well-equipped with great amenities that made our time here comfortable and easy. We especially appreciated the quiet, dark master bedroom—it was perfect for restful sleep. The air conditioner and fan kept the room at a comfortable temperature and provided the bonus of soothing white noise. Overall, a fantastic place to stay—we’d definitely come back!

We have stayed at these condos several times in the past and rented many units from vrbo. The facilities were excellent but the unit itself is badly in need of refurbishment. Furniture old, worn and dirty, leaking bath faucets, dishwasher didn't work, no safe for valuables. Generally disappointing, especially for the premium price.

This property had absolutely everything we needed and we wish we had booked it for longer. The views were amazing, the place was well maintained and had everything we needed. Our family would highly recommended this place! Remember there are only stairs to the condo.

April 2025

Beautiful property with an amazing ocean view. Watched the humpback whales from the private balcony. Clean and modern decor with an amazing massage chair in the master suite. Master suite is private with bathroom and private- non ocean balcony. Upstairs bedroom doesn’t have a door and is open to living room— but large with comfortable bed. No a/c needed- lots of fans and cross breeze. Great kitchen with all the amenities. Wonderful pool and activities through the property. Would highly recommend and would stay here again. Please note this is on the garden or wet side of the island very lush. Easy parking.

April 2025

Excellent location with so much to do. We loved our trip and time here. Place was very functional for our family of 4 with two teens Bot and Girl. Loft space was perfect for them to get away. Location provided so many wonderful hikes/beaches/excursions. We left early every day and would come home for a quick hot tub and then out to dinner. Then came home to crash in the wonderful breeze and sound of the ocean.

Our door was propped open with the door stop when we arrived. The following day, we were locked out. The number code and key cards didn't work and neither did the key we got from the reception desk. Luckily, a rep from the rental agency came by and gave us the lockbox code and we used that key for the rest of our stay. We got a notice about insect spraying. We did see a cockroach on the kitchen counter. We left the condo as requested and when we returned the sliding glass door was wide open with a fan running. We assumed the pest control people had opened the door. They did not leave a note or business card. Is it typical to have a rental treated while it is being occupied? We thought it was odd. Everything else was good. Parking was difficult at times but we managed.

Loved all the flowers and trees on the property. Kitchen and bathrooms well stocked. Loved that side of the island.

Our stay was the best!!! Highly recommend! Thank you so much for taking care of the parking. Our first time to Kauai. We thought we had really messed up when there was no a/c but after opening the windows and doors it was the best!! Our views of the ocean & the mountains was amazing!! We would recommend this condo for other guests and would stay there again.

Rooms and grounds were great. Beautiful view and very nice pool/amenities for kids.
Darci C.
April 2025

The grounds were beautiful, pool, bike rental, activities provided were great. The condo needs some maintenance. No A/C but ceiling and floor fans were in every room - however they were filthy which caused a lot of breathing problems. The refrigerator doesn’t work very well so we lost food in the freezer - after multiple communications of “we’ll address the issues” nothing materialized. The offer to replace the food hasn’t materialized either. It’s a lovely place - but this condo needs deep cleaning.

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: The condo was great. Did not like the bathrooms because there wasn't a countertop to put your items on. It was nice having two bathrooms. We had a problem with the refrigerator icing up in the freezer. Couldnm't be fixed until after we left.

Close to everything but you for sure need a car. Stayed here with our 9month old and it was perfect to have the separate bedroom so we could enjoy the evening. Lovely owners, great communication!

This place is even nicer than the photos. The hosts were very helpful with check in/out. Overall a very nice place and experience. I am recommending this place to friends who are going to visit Kauai in the coming year..

We enjoyed this property so much last time we stayed that we returned for another great visit. The unit is clean, bright and spacious. The only negative is the occasional noise from people at the pool but we didn’t let it bother us. It doesn’t have air conditioning but you don’t need it - the ocean breezes are perfect.
Tracie K.
March 2025

This was our first time in Kauai and we loved it! After staying at some questionable BNBs I always rely on the integrity of reviews. With that being said my family and I truly enjoyed our stay. The condo was clean and the neighborhood was beautiful. We really enjoyed the views and the beach equipment for use. Of course the furniture was a little out dated but it wasn’t a problem at al for us we loved it. I would definitely book again. The hosts were helpful and even gave me recommendations on activities.

5 friends, all ladies, loved the location overlooking the beach and ocean. Whale watched each morning from the cliffs. Plenty of room, nicely furnished.

March 2025

We loved the location of this property, both on the island and the beautiful grounds. The views from the balcony and the kitchen are amazing, and the grounds have a lot of places where you can sit and watch the coast.There is easy walking to Turtle Cove, Sea Lodge Beach, Hideaway Beach, and shorter drives to all the great beaches up north.The pools were great for our kids and the additional amenities were nice. We didn't end up using the food trucks but that was a nice option.The room itself had enough space for our family and gave us places to be together and also separate. I especially like the balcony off the master suite. We will definitely look at this property again the next time we visit.
