Loved the stay! Everything was bright and clean. Views were amazing from both lanais. Great sunsets. The rooms were all very spacious. We appreciated the puzzles and games available. Perfect location to excellent hikes and beaches. Walter was super helpful! .
This condo is amazing would definitely recommend and would definitely come back. Easy walking distance from 2 amazing beaches Hideway andPoo Poa. Quick drive maybe 15 minutes, to Hanalei which great food and shopping plus even more amazing beaches
Everything was just as advertised. The only disappointment was that the pool was under repairs and not accessible.We had a wonderful stay!Leslie, Kevin, Alex and Sam
View was great! Wonderful to have a lanai with lounge chairs. Unit had just about everything we needed and was well stocked with the essentials. Pool was very nice to have on property. Convenient to lots of beaches and places to eat or get groceries. Mahalo for a wonderful north shore get away!
View is unbeatable and kitchen is very well stocked. Every appliance you could want. We used the bbq a lot. Our stay was during spring so not having AC wasn’t an issue for us. We had the windows open all night for soothing ocean sounds. We would stay again!
I highly recommend this place! Beautiful views! The condo was very clean and very nice inside. Had everything we possibly needed. Great location and only minutes to walk down to Hideaway Beach. Did not have A/C, but if you open the screened windows and sliding doors, the breeze is all that is needed. If you rent here you can't go wrong as the neighborhood is top notch. Thank you for sharing your place with us!

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
The good:The location is nice, in Princeville near the entrance to the 1 Hotel, 12 minutes to town. The views from the condo are spectacular, and the patio is a great spot to hang out and watch the sunset. The pool has a great view and is clean and nice sized. There are beach chairs and an umbrella available for use. The not so good:No AC, I assume none of the Puu Poa condos have it. Communication with the host was non existent. The washer broke before we arrived and was never fixed and our questions went unanswered. The condo is in need of a refresh- several light fixtures didn’t work, the doors stick, the floors are creaky, the hot water out of the taps was inconsistent, the sheets & blankets smelled mildewy/moldy. There are only rattan shades on the sliding glass doors so the bedroom and living room are filled with light when the sun comes up. The doors on both bedrooms are slats so noise travels easily. Both are challenging if you’re traveling with young children as we were.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 July 2026
I do not understand why the rare guest must write exaggerated negative reviews. The washer machine had JUST become unreliable. We could not know this until told by a guest which happened with the next guest. A new washer/dryer was ordered, but because on Kauai major appliances must come from Oahu, it takes a month to get there. There is no one on the island to fix it. This guest did not report it to us. They had my cell number or could easily have sent us a message at VRBO. Before the new washer/dryer was installed, I offered at no cost Concierge Laundry service where someone would pick up her laundry anytime and return it quickly fresh and clean. She never used it as she did not communicate with us, so saying "our question went unanswered" is unfair. We have to hear a question to answer it.
The sheets and blankets are replaced frequently. The North Shore is wet, everything rusts and at some times of year, things can get a moldy smell, but there is a big difference between smelling moldy and BEING moldy. Moldy they are not. Unlike most condos with cheap rugs that really do get moldy, we have high-end wood floors (not laminate). With the humidity, some unevenness can occur due to the wood swelling (ditto the wood doors) and a slight creak is expected.
The hot water heater is new and no one has had a complaint about it before. We both use the shower every day when we are there and hot water has not be an issue.
Personally, I think the ratan shades are fantastic. They keep out the bright sun, but you can still see the ocean, just the right amount of transparency. In addition, we bought this condo at this location because no one can look into the condo from any other unit or from the ground on the ocean side offering complete privacy.
The doors between rooms are slotted on purpose in order to allow the wonderful trade winds to glide through the unit. The only noise one might hear comes from the next room. Perhaps it was the children playing. Light fixtures rarely break and again there have no reports previously or since from other guests, but, of course, this will be checked out.
I will not criticize the guest for the condition of the condo when she left.
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.
Walter was a great host, place is even more beautiful than in pictures. Super comfy bed, slept like a baby, and didn’t mind having a cozy day inside when it poured all day because the place was so lovely. Not a sterile/personality-less rental property. This feels like your rich friend let you stay at their second home. Can’t recommend enough
Our family of 4 loved our stay here. Plenty of room for all of us, very clean, amazing views and a great location close to everything we wanted to explore. Highly recommend!
Our family of four enjoyed our stay at Puu Poa. All items were as described and the process was simple and straightforward. Thanks for letting us stay at this beautiful condo.
We love staying at Pua Poa, it’s perfect for staying with kids. Ideal location for ease and beauty. The view cannot be beat and it is luxury at its finest.
This was our first time to Kauai and this unit was beautiful and a quiet area to stay in, it was all that was advertised. The owners were so easy to work with and we would stay here again. There are so many things in the area to do and many beaches in the northern part of the island. We have been to the other Hawaiian Islands before but this is the best one by far.

What makes this property unique
Incredible privacy. Due to its location with the complex, you cannot see another condo from inside the home and they cannot see you. Minutes to world class Golf in the most magnificent setting one can imagine. Heated pool, Tennis courts. Quiet except for the ocean roar.
