Paradise
The listing was accurate, and the place was fantastic! With there being so many good places to eat in Kauai, we found ourselves getting everything to go just so we could have our meals out in the lanai. The views are amazing from both the lanai and the master bedroom. Lucy was very pleasant. On our first day, she even dropped off some new gear for snorkeling! The check in process was easy. The location of the condo is perfect, being in a nice community full of friendly people. The condo has everything that you'll need in case you'd like to cook a meal, and everything you'd ever need for a day at the beach. The property is not far from Hanalei, which has great places to shop and eat. With Kauai being a small island, it's not too much trouble to drive to the South Shore. I found Princeville and Hanalei to be exactly what I was looking for, in that it's the perfect place to relax for vacation. Upon checking out, Lucy wished us safe travels. I hope I can come back next year!

A pretty place but long drives
The condo was pretty and had a great view of the ocean. I was surprised that you had to hike down a steep path to the beach. Prices at nearby places were ridiculously high. Since we wanted to explore a lot of driving was involved. It would have been nice to have a list of nearby places to go for activities.

Hi Carolyn, so sorry you didn't realize there are steps to the beach right by hotel. Also you can go through hotel and take elevator to get to the beach. We have couple beaches walking distance from condo, and you chose one that is steep walk. I certainly will put out descriptions about beaches. Thank you for input, i appreciate. Also there is a book at condo ultimate guide at north shore, everyting in that book is in details, shopping, activities ect.Sincerely lucy ,owner and your host

Pictures Don’t Do It Justice!
Cool unique building among a golf course community on a cliff overlooking the ocean. The patio area is very private and HUGE. I literally sat at the dinner table inside and was able to see through the very large windows the spout of a whale passing by…so magical. I also saw them while my kids swam in the great heated pool! There is a nice shady beach below the cliffs that disappeared with the tide in the evening …have to make your way down a bit of difficult path, but my kids did it without any problem. Comfy beds and kitchen had everything we needed. The town is great with plenty of laidback eating and touristy shopping. The owner was very accessible for simple dinner recommendations and other basic questions. Would love to stay again!

The Best
Check in was so easy (just show up and use the key pad for access). The condo felt like a home with upto date furniture and kitchen utensils. Location is definitely one of the best on Kauai, next door to 1 Hotel ( previously Ritz Carlton). Host was engaged and local, able to respond to any pressing need (though we had none). Will book this condo again.

We had an incredible stay. We live Kauai and especially the north side. The views from either lanai are incredible, and watching surfers in the morning is the perfect way to start to the day. The condo is very well stocked and incredibly private for shared living. We loved everything about and Lucy was awesome. Hideaway beach is a true gem and literally steps away. We will return!!!!

Breathtaking views, loved watching surfers everyday from one of two outside seating areas. The condo was quite large with high quality furniture and appliances. Everything we wanted was supplied. Wonderful location, walking distance to the beach. Hosts could not have been better. They went far above and beyond to help us and educate us on the area. I would book any of the properties owned by these hosts without hesitation.

Breathtaking paradise!!
Doug and Lucy’s condo in Princeville, Kauai was everything and more. Kauai was a bucket list trip for us and the condo was a true hilight. Doug and Lucy were great with communication and guided us to snorkeling gear in the condo. We loved hiking down to Hideaway Beach many times, swimming, snorkeling and watching the sunset. The apartment was so comfortable - with two Lanai’s, a fully stocked kitchen with everything we could want. We enjoyed cooking and having dinners on the lanai with that “view”! I highly recommend this condo and staying on the North Shore if you are looking for something different than the resort-scene. We chose this for the great value (2 BR and kitchen) and comfort vs a resort. Thank you to Doug and Lucy for sharing your slice of heaven with us. We hope to come back one day and stay here again!!

Perfect Princeville Vacation
The condo was perfect for our family of 4. It was clean, comfortable and stocked with everything we needed-from beach gear to cookware to cleaning supplies. It was warm during our visit but the a/c worked great! The location in Princeville provided easy access to both Puu Poa beach and Hideaway beach without the need to drive or find parking. The pool was quiet and never busy. The lanai is perfectly positioned to view every gorgeous sunset. Mahalo for sharing your condo with us for the week.

The condo is amazing! The views are fantastic, we enjoyed watching the sunsets as well as the surfers and boats cruising by during the day from the deck. The condo is incredibly spacious and was a comfortable place for our family to hang out. The kitchen was well equipped and washer/dryer was a big plus. We didn’t end up using them but there were beach chairs, snorkeling sets, boogie boards, beach toys, towels, and a cooler. The condo location is also great, walking distance to Hideaways Beach and Puu Poa Beach. The host also checked in with us to make sure check-in went smoothly and we had everything we needed.

Great Northshore Condo
Our group had a wonderful stay in this condo on the north shore. The unit was overall well equipped and made our stay easy. Parking is right out front and we never had an issue getting a spot by our entrance. The building is quiet and we never noticed noise from any of the other units (besides some daytime construction on a unit down the way, nothing intrusive). Bed in the master was very comfortable and we enjoyed the large dressers on either side to unpack into. The AC was nice to have when we wanted it. Most of the time we had the doors open to hear the ocean but two of our days it was muggy. It was nice to be able to cool down the unit for sleeping at night. The unit was clean when we checked in and the carpet looked recently replaced. Hideaway beach below is challenge to get down to (if your trying to carry gear particularly) so we spent more time at Puu Poa down below the hotel. The newly refreshed swimming pool was very nice and we enjoyed swimming there. We would have no problem booking this unit again for another stay in this area. The host live nearby which is a nice peace of mind.

I Cannot Lie (as much as I’d like to)!
I hate writing a great review because that means it will be harder to rent in the future. As much as I’d like to have something negative to say, I just don’t. We have stayed at Puu Poa many times and in many different units. We’ll come back to this one (assuming it is available!). The ONLY things we thought could be improved on was adding a few boxes of Kleenex and sharpening the knives, but those are so minor they aren’t really even worth mentioning. The hosts, Lucy and Doug, are very helpful & conscientious - they even live nearby and can help if you have any issues. The views are spectacular. The carpet is new. The bed and furniture is comfortable. The location is awesome.

Amazing views make it completely worth it!
This condo has incredible views and the location is absolutely perfect for Princeville. We have never seen a more amazing sunset in our lives right from the balcony. The condo is clean and has everything you need including beach chairs, boogie boards and beach towels. The kitchen has everything you need and there is a grill to cook dinner at home if you like. We just had a little difficulty getting in when we arrived because it was dark and the outdoor light wasn't that bright. But that wasn't a big deal overall. Personally, I would love to update the condo's decor and bedspreads but it probably wouldn't bother most people. I'm just picky that way and, ultimately, this condo is great. AND, our host was so kind to let us have a late checkout on the day we were to leave because our plane left in the early evening and we would have had no where to go. We REALLY appreciated their help on that! Book it if you can!

Great location in Princeville
We had a great time at this condo, which has a lovely view of the start of the Napali coast. There are several beaches nearby, but you must go down the cliff. Access to the closest beach, HIdeaways, is down a very steep dirt path, and hard to bring chairs, cooler, etc. However, you can get to Puu Poa beach, a nice sandy beach, via paved stairs next to the former St. Regis Princeville Resort (currently being remodeled). Since that large resort is closed, Puu Poa beach was not crowded. The condo is spacious and the kitchen well appointed. Beach chairs, snorkel gear, and other beach items were provided. The condo faces west and the sun is intense in the late afternoon, but that also makes for beautiful sunsets, which we enjoyed each evening. The living room can heat up, as indicated in some reviews, but we found that the standing fan provided alleviated this problem. Owner was communicative and helpful.

Home away from home in Paradise
The condo is spacious and relaxing for up to six adults. Two bedrooms, plus a sectional sofa which easily converts into a surprisingly comfortable Queen bed. The well-equipped kitchen and washer/dryer in the second bathroom were great. Ocean and sunset views from the two patios are spectacular. The condo is equipped with beach chairs & towels, snorkeling gear, kids beach toys, and boogie boards. The location is convenient and short drives to many beaches and hiking areas. The condo complex is well maintained. We were there Easter week and the complex was full, but it was very quiet. Previous reviews mention the condo could use some upgrades, which is true, but it was very clean, comfortable, and offered everything needed to enjoy a relaxing vacation in paradise.
