This place is simply amazing and the owners are very responsive. It has everything you should need and it's in a prime Princeville location.
Great location. Great view!! Well equipped kitchen! Really enjoyed it, but do know that AC would have made it that much nicer. Once you open all the windows the breeze definitely helps, but it did take some getting used to. Especially during the day. Overall a great place to stay. Fantastic beach below the unit. Definitely a challenging short / steep hike to get to it though.

Good property, great view. Needs a bit of a refresh. Front door was difficult to open, patio doors hard to slide, but overall good place.

Mahalo!
Amazing views. Incredible to be able to walk to the beach. The pictures were accurate. Nicely appointed decor. Appliances worked. Could use update on refrigerator and dish washer. Microwave tray was missing. Loved the beach towels, chairs, and boogie boards. Quality linens. Everyone wants to come back. Thank you for sharing your lovely place.
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!
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! Really enjoyed staying here. No a/c, which we knew, but some nights did get pretty warm. Snorkeled next to a turtle at the beach right below!
I had a wonderful stay at this Princeville property. The views from the lanai are absolutely stunning, and I was lucky enough to see whales multiple times while sitting outside, which made the experience incredibly special. The lanai quickly became my favorite place to spend time. It’s peaceful and perfectly positioned to take in the ocean views, the changing light, and the whales passing by. I found myself lingering out there often, just enjoying the quiet and the beauty of the North Shore.The setting feels very private and relaxing, and the Princeville location is great for exploring the area while still feeling tucked away. The space itself was very clean and comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped, making it easy to prepare meals and settle in.Communication around check-in was smooth and easy, and the people helping with the property were very caring and responsive if anything was needed. Danielle, who came in to do some cleaning during my stay, was wonderful and added several thoughtful touches that made the space feel even more like home.The only small thing I would note is that the beds may be due for an update in the future. That said, everything else about the property was lovely and I truly enjoyed my time there.

Aloha Tanya,
Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful review. I’m really glad to know you enjoyed your stay and that the lanai became such a special spot for you. Being able to watch the whales from there is truly magical, and it’s wonderful to know you were able to experience that while relaxing and taking in the North Shore views.
It’s also great to know that you found the space clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, and that check-in and communication went smoothly. I’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Danielle as well — she’ll really appreciate hearing that her care and thoughtful touches helped make your stay feel even more like home.
Thank you as well for the note about the beds. Feedback like that is very helpful, and we’ll definitely keep it in mind as we continue making improvements to the property.
We’d love to host you again anytime you find yourself back on the North Shore of Kaua'i!
Mahalo,

Overall this condo is great for a family. While the decor and the bathrooms could use an update, the carpet and flooring is nice and the views can't be beat!
This place was outstanding! The views are amazing, of course -- even better than pictures can convey. We had everything we needed and the place was spotless. The surroundings were top-shelf. Very nice pool -- nothing over the top, just comfortable; the pool looks out over the ocean, too. All the residents, including a handful of kids, were quiet and respectful of others. We can't recommend it enough!
The property is at a very nice location in and neighborhood in Princeville. We enjoyed our stay watching the ocean. Cooking and spending time on the deck during the evenings..!! What else to ask for..!!

The location and view at this property was unbelievable. We loved watching the surfers each morning off our balcony at Hideaway beach and the proximity to the 1 Hotel’s coffee shop. The unit was spacious and clean.
Perfect home base for exploring the North shore and the island of Kauai for a week. Comfortable beds and amazing view of the ocean from this property. The provided beach chairs and towels were very nice, handy for relaxing on the beach.
From the minute we walked in to the moment we left. Relax with great accommodations and comfort. Large rooms with everything one would need for a week to a month.An endless view of the oceans beauty.Mahalo!Bill and Cindy Ron and Loree
