The Cliffs at Princeville is in a stunning location with a very manicured feel. Reception staff super friendly and helpful. Nice pool and visiting food trucks. The actual apartment was disappointing. It appeared on the website to have been newly renovated when in fact it had some newer furniture. Original old kitchen with newer electrical items which were badly fitted leaving unhygienic gaps and chipped tiles. Dirty taps and sink. Kitchen well stocked albeit with old items. Bathrooms both original and very dirty, bath and shower tiles clearly not been cleaned properly for a long time. Bath taps loose, filthy or no plugs, dirty doors, dirty baths, dirty shower heads, very unpleasant. Filthy floors, the soles of my feet were black after one hour walking on the floor. No mop provided. I cleaned the kitchen sink a little especially around the taps but overall cleanliness not great. I’ve taken some photos if required. Sofa bed in living room extremely uncomfortable but the bed in the bedroom very comfortable.filthy stained bedroom rug. Sheets and towels all clean. Washing machine and tumble drier great. Wouldn’t stay here again but would stay at The Cliffs again, their own rentals are cheaper than this one and I understand some now have new bathrooms.

Everything was just as described! Our family had a great time and this property was part of that. The scenic views and pool were enjoyed by our family.

Condo was awesome. Bedding, view, kitchen accessories, beach equipment availability, access to hikes, local beaches and restaurants.

Part of what I love about VRBO and other companies like it is the more personal nature of the experience. A property like the Cliffs has a much more corporate feel which has its pluses and minuses. The condo was very clean and outfitted with needed supplies and many nice-to-haves including beach gear. The kitchen amenities could use a review—very little microwave safe dishes (despite there being a microwave), a toaster that’s on its last days, lack of storage containers. The ice maker is a welcome plus! The biggest downfall of this condo is the sleeper sofa, which is honestly not appropriate for sleeping. In my opinion it should be considered for replacement but definitely not offered as a viable sleeping option. Overall the condo was a good fit for us and we’d consider staying at this location again on a future visit to the Garden Island!

Roger and Charlene were very attentive and helpful, so they were great. It is a great location in Princeville an the beds were comfortable. The property is definitely older an a little run down. The pool is small and when we were there the pool water was cloudy so we didn't use it. It was definitely hard not having AC, not because it was too hot at night, but because you have to leave you windows open so it stays cool and the roosters are so loud starting around 1am most nights. It was hard to get a good night sleep because of that.

This was our fifth trip to Kauai and this rental was our favorite of them all! It has so much character and everything we needed from beach chairs, umbrellas, ice chest, to all of our kitchen needs. I don't think there is another place like the Cliffs where you can see both beautiful sunrises AND sunsets. We we definitely be back!

Expected more than what the unit delivered. All furniture was dingy & miserably uncomfortable. Pictures are deceiving. Cleanliness questionable, first night pulled the sheets back and found a glob of matted hair complained & felt no one really cared. The cliff front office staff not helpful asked about questions about shuffle board & putting green just got a woman who pointed over there but neglected to tell where the equipment was sports stored or how to sign up for it? So un helpful! The pool area terrible dirty dusty decking all around and pool water super cloudy & disgusting. All the grounds looked unkept definitely not what we expected. We have stayed at many places in Kauai over the past 20 years and we will not return to the Cliffs.

Charlene and Roger are the ultimate hosts. Their Hale/Condo is perfection. We are return guests and will return again and again as our funds will allow us. I cannot speak more highly about the hosts. Throughout the whole booking process, arrival, check out they were amazing communicators. We have not one negative things to say about the unit or the hosts. The Harpers have become Ohana to our family!

Property us beautiful. Whether u decide to go down to south shore or stay north, there are things to do, places to eat. Property has foud trucks, breakfast and dinner some days. Waking up to the ocean was amazing. Onky reason i gave this 4 star, black ants invaded the kitchen despite spray by staff. The dryer stopped working but clitges dry fast if u hang. There is no AC, but fans work well. It gets full do u may have to park a little way from ur unit. Bbq units on Property which was great. Reception staff was very friendly and helpful. There are some activities offered at Rec too.

Had a great stay! The size and layout was perfect for six adults. Loved the views and watching sunsets from the lanai or out on the vast lawn. We also enjoyed using the property's pool, tennis court, and bike rentals.Air conditioning throughout would have been nice. I suggest using ear plugs in order to sleep with the doors open and block out the noise from roosters who began crowing way before sunrise. Putting the portable fan near the window also helped to mask the noise.

Our family of 7 had an incredible stay at this stunning VRBO! The cliffside location offers breathtaking views of the Pacific, perfect for relaxing and soaking in the scenery. The home was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The hosts were responsive and ensured our stay was seamless. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a memorable coastal getaway! Mahalo.

We loved this condo at The Cliffs for our stay on the north shore! Great location for spending time in Princeville and Hanalei. We had plenty of space for two adults and our two kids (16 and 11). The condo is two short outdoor flights up with no elevator, but not difficult at all. The location in The Cliffs resort is the best in my opinion and we had an amazing view of the ocean. We rarely saw any other guests near our building and i love that it was on the top floor at the end of the building, so no one was staying above us or on one side. Very quiet (except the roosters in the early morning...use the provided fans for white noise!)! We appreciated all the helpful information and recommendations provided by the hosts ahead of our stay. We also were so happy to have access to beach chairs, a beach umbrella, and coolers for the beach (located in closet of primary bedroom). So helpful! And, although I was skeptical that the tradewinds would provide enough of a breeze to make no A/C a non-issue, it actually was incredibly comfortable at all times! Loved having a breeze blowing through the condo! We not only enjoyed this condo, we also enjoyed the AMAZING pool area, basketball courts, shuffleboard and pickleball! I would highly recommend and would stay again with no hesitation if we come back!

First of all they ask that you take off your shoes while inside the unit however the floor was so dirty it turned our feet black. The door in the bedroom was jammed and didn’t open. The washer and dryer were so old I was afraid they would break down. The king bed was so old and lumpy made for a horrible nights sleep. The kitchen cabinets were filthy looked like they hadn’t been washed down same with the drawers.

This was a trip with our two youngest (18 and 20) and my wife’s mother (77). The condo was very spacious and extremely well equipped for all our needs, including the kitchen, bathrooms, and beach activities. The resort location has a great pool area, small pop up market, and food trucks. We were very comfortable.The view from the lanai is the highlight, allowing us to watch sunsets while eating dinner.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Cliffs. The hosts were excellent about communicating with us before we arrived and while we were staying at the property. Check-in at the front desk was very easy. The amenities at the property are wonderful - with a beautiful pool and spa area and a bluff with chairs overlooking the ocean. There were also food trucks there often - though we didn’t try them. The property itself was just what we needed. The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen had all the appliances we needed - though we didn’t cook at the condo. We also really appreciated having a washer and dryer in the condo to wash clothes after muddy hikes or a day at the beach. Parking was easy and available right in front of the condo. There were also beach chairs, towels, and boogie boards for us to use. I would definitely stay here again.

The place was adequate and just as pictured. The master bed was a little hard for our liking. There is no AC and being from the mainland this was problematic for comfort and allergies. The unit did have extra chairs, a cooler and the complex was nice. There was a parking fee of 15 per day, plus tax that we were not told about before arrival.

We were a family of 3, our son being 19. It was also our (at least for my husband and I) fourth time to Kauai, but our first time taking a place in Princeville. The unit was clean and comfortable, complete with everything you could possible need. The views were outstanding, the pool was never crowded; I was able to get a 45 minute lap swim in one morning without any trouble. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Communication every step of the way was excellent. Was very cooperative in allowing for an early check-in.This unit did not have AC, but we were not uncomfortable at all. Trust and believe, if the loft BR where my son slept was in any way hot, I’d have heard about it. The ceiling fans were very effective, there were additional fans available and we had a nice cross breeze. There were also a few food trucks in for convenience: A breakfast truck, brick oven pizza truck, and a Mexican food truck. There was also an on sight farmers market one morning and several other events throughout the week. Unit had boogie boards, a cooler, beach chairs, towels etc. complex had both pedal and e bike rentals via an app, tennis courts, the pool, and a small fitness room. I found it was quite nice to get up early and walk to Sealodge Beach, Queen’s Bath and Wyllie’s/Anini Beach. All within walking distance if you also feel good enough to do some short steep hikes. I’m 58 in reasonably good shape and had no problems. Thanks for the great stay!

No walkable nearby beach. AC unit leaked onto carpet in bedroom and was not fixed during our stay. Patio doors do not lock and no safe available. Just ok, would not stay again or recommend

This is a great location. We have stayed at the cliffs twice now. The room itself is older and a little rundown, but the location in the amenities of the resort make up for it. Things were clean, the bed was soft- a memory foam mattress. Good pillows. I wish this unit would’ve had some minimum spices. We bought salt and pepper and oil and left it, but there was none. Appreciated the beach chairs. Remember, there’s no air conditioning that they had good fans in the rooms.

My wife and I stayed for 12 nights. This is our second visit to The Cliffs, but the first time in this unit. Would definitely stay in this condo again. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable bed. Loved the air conditioning in the bedroom- didn’t have that in the other condo. Great sunset views from the deck. Can’t go wrong if your looking for a nice place to stay in Princville.

We had a great time at this condo in Princeville. The location was amazing - with great views of the ocean and lots of benches/chairs in the back to watch sunrise and sunsets. It never felt too hot with the glass doors open and fans running. We would definitely want to come back to this condo!

My family really enjoyed our time at the Cliffs. The unit is well equipped with a lot of little extras like boogie boards, beach chairs, and snorkel gear. My only complaint is it doesn’t have an AC unit. I knew it didn’t, but it would have been nice. That said, I’d stay again.

The musty smell was noticed upon arrival. Very strong from washing machine & all linens smelled musty. Cockroaches found first night and reported next day and the day after. We we told someone would come spray but no one did while we were there. Got a notice the day we left that they would spray 2 days after we left. We had to keep all foods in refrigerator. They were even in the dishwasher. Kitchen stopper fell apart & had to be pryed from drain. Patio furniture rusty. Door stop in bathroom gross. Bed linens old, worn and had bad odor. A Motel 6 would have been nicer. Great pool. Unable to load photos on this site will try again.

The property was beautiful and the unit was clean and everything was in working order: the beds were comfortable me and the kitchen was the best stocked with utensil and cookware that I have seen in all the rentals I have had. Check in and out was easy. Parking was a bit of a challenge. You couldn’t beat the view and if someone wants to stay in the princeville area I would recommend this unit.

It is the perfect jumping off point for unforgettable adventures in Kauai!!

Had a nice stay in Princeville. The condo is well kept. It has beach chairs, umbrella and beach bag with miscellaneous snorkeling gear. There are 2 bathrooms and one bedroom. The unit does not have air conditioning but has a nice cross breeze when the windows are open. It has ceiling fans and stand alone fans, we were never too warm. It is equipped with a washer and dryer. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and dishes with a few pots and pans. There are food trucks that come to the Cliffs on certain nights. When you check in the staff gives you a calendar of events. The pizza from Carabella's was awesome. There are also bikes for rent at the complex. The only downside to this condo is waking up at 3:30 am to roosters crowing! It is Kauai and they are all over the island.

This was our first trip to Kauai, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! We have stayed in many short term rentals and this was our favorite for so many reasons. The view was absolutely breathtaking, and we loved hearing the waves crash below the cliff. It is centrally located in beautiful Princeville, which is close to great restaurants, Hanalei, and beautiful beaches. The grounds are amazing, with so much greenery. We used the pools and hot tubs everyday and really enjoyed them. The hale has everything we would ever need for our trip, including kitchenware, beach supplies, and even a first aid kit. We were thrilled to find a pineapple slicer as well! The bed and pillows were comfy as well as all the furniture. It also was relaxing to go out and sit on the chairs to watch the sunset, and there were picnic tables and grills available. We really enjoyed our trip, and would definitely stay here if we return to this amazing island.
