Puamana 9C: Updated Princeville condo with AC in the master bedroom, and so many extras provided for your comfort and convenience!

There's a 32" HDTV that includes cable with HBO and Showtime. The master bathroom was remodeled in April of 2018. The loft bedroom upstairs has a king bed and a queen bed. You'l find a 42" HDTV with Bluray player, cable, and HBO and Showtime. The bedside lamp upstairs also has a built in charging station. There's a second full bathroom upstairs, and a lanai with an ocean view! In the living room, you'll find a 60" smart TV with cable. For your convenience in printing boarding passes, a printer is provided. Full kitchen, completely remodeled in 2014.

The Westin also has great food, snacks, full bar and wine tastings. Situated perfectly to catch the trade winds, the unit stays cool and comfortable year round. New carpet and wood floors throughout. For entertaining you have a large outdoor lanai downstairs and an ocean view lanai upstairs. Bring the whole family: the unit sleeps 7 comfortably (6 adults and one child). Free wifi.

ABOUT PUAMANA:
Located just an 8 minute hike from Anini Beach, our Princeville vacation rentals at Puamana enjoy ocean, mountain, and golf course views. The complex includes a swimming pool. The scenic beaches of north shore Kauai are just minutes away. Guests can enjoy a 2 minute walk to the Westin Resort with its Starbucks, bar, restaurants, and wine tasting. These vacation rental condos are comfortable and spacious, with private lanais, full kitchens, and large upstairs lofts along with many upgrades and charming personal touches.

ABOUT ANINI BEACH:
Anini is the longest and widest reef in the Hawaiian Islands and because of the unique conditions, the beach usually has well protected waters and some of the most consistently good conditions for safe water activities. There is no lifeguard posted at Anini Beach, but it is still considered to be one of the safer beaches on north shore Kauai. Generally uncrowded, at Anini Beach visitors can enjoy snorkeling, beach walks, picnicking, paddle boarding and wind surfing. The path from our Puamana Kauai vacation rentals to Anini Beach is a beautiful jungle path with scenic views. It can be slippery following rain.

Partially Air Conditioned (downstairs bedroom)

Although this home has internet, the speed and reliability cannot be guaranteed due to the remote location and the service being provided by a third-party.

Great stay!
The property manager provided clear directions on checking in/out of the condo which made that process very easy and stress-free. The place was in a great location with a huge craft fair in the complex on Saturdays. The condo was spacious and clean and had a nice patio outside. The only cons were the roof was being worked on by construction workers, so there was a lot of loud banging directly outside our windows and there were small flies coming from the kitchen sink and bathtub drain, but that can happen anywhere and is an easy fix. Aside from those two things, this was an awesome place and I would stay here again!

Noisy neighbors
The first number of days (and nights) were just fine. The last four nights new guests arrived next door. They were loud, rowdy and drinking all night long in the parking lot directly next to the downstairs bedroom (where we were trying to sleep). It was particularly bad the first two nights of their being there. After the their first night of partying ( which started at 2am and did not end until 6am!!) I was able to connect with the manager and was told that they would be communicated with and the problem would not happen again. Well the next night it started up again at 1:30 am and by 3:00 am an argument and fight broke out in the parking lot. This time I called the police. They arrived after the altercation had finished, and the several young men who were involved, had gotten into their vehicles and quickly departed. Things were not as bad the next two night though they still continued to be up and making noise well past the quiet hour of 10 pm. In fact the noise and talking, yelling, clinging of empty beer bottles never began until well after mid-night. The stay in the condo was fine. The issue with the neighbors, and the fact that it kept happening, was terrible.

Great place to stay. Very clean and very well equipped. the condo is very conveniently located for all north shore activities. It is very easy to reach Hanalei beach and to plan your hikes to the Napali coast. It is also very convenient to walk around Princeville and to its beaches. The community is very quiet and we used the barbecue non-stop during our stay.

Great!
A very clean and comfortable condo, near to Anini and Hanalei. We loved the path down to the beach for a quick dip, although we are very active and definitely would not have taken our moms who are 70 and up. The beach gear was plentiful (!!) and the kitchen so we’ll stocked, I feel bad we basically didn’t cook. Owners were very kind and communicative. Location is great, and you would pay much more at a hotel. It was just us, so more than we needed. Upstairs lift has a king and a queen, and we both remarked how comfortable the bed and pillows were. The downstairs king with air con was nice too . It was palatial for us but we were getting married so we loved the space, would be a great deal for a larger group or family. We posted up family in two different puamana cobdos and was fun to cut through the grass to each others places. Thanks for the hospitality!

Don't believe what you read
Don’t be deceived by the first two words in property title after Puamana 9C – Air Conditioning. I chose this unit because of air conditioning. I didn’t read “Partially Air Conditioned” near the bottom in the fine print until we arrived. While anything over zero could be considered partial, the condo is about 975-1000 sq feet and the air-conditioned space is about 110 square feet That means 11% of the living space is air conditioned. The Puamana complex is over 50 years old. The kitchen has been updated as have the bathrooms. Originally, the much larger upstairs bedroom was probably the master and the adjoining bathroom is bigger. Unless you like going to sleep at 80 degrees or more, the upstairs bedroom is untenable. Also, don’t go by the pictures in the property description because the living room furniture, dinette set, and wall hangings are not the same. There were just two of us and we slept in the AC bedroom. It would have been miserable for two couples or more. Needless to say, this is the worst VRBO experience we have ever had.

Great property. Walkable to stores and Willey beach. Wifi was reliable. You could do remote work from here. Kitchen had everything we needed and the appliances were in good condition. The pool was a nice bonus. My only concern would be if you have young children because the kids bedroom is upstairs in an open loft.

Okay place
Our first couple of days we had to deal with an excessive amount of flies. I mean excessive. We figured out they kept coming in from the old cheap window screens. Wetaped the down and it made a huge difference. I let property management know and they wanted pictures as proof. Ummm, I was busy killing flies while trying to make dinner. The last thing on my mind was pictures. I did take them later on if the dead ones I killed on the window frame with bugs spray. I'm sure I'm not the only who had this issue. We found a quick fix, you're welcome! We come to Kauai every year stay at different rentals. I understand I sects are a part of island living but this was not that. Place had other issues I let them know early on that was not big deal, I just didn't want to get blamed for it. Other than that cleanliness was fine. Won't be staying there again however.

Overall a good stay
Overall my family enjoyed staying at this condo. The pictures are accurate and the essentials we were looking for were there that many of the other available rentals didn't have: two bathrooms (a must for more than two/three people), A/C in master bedroom (in April it's acceptable but would recommend another unit upstairs for the summer), kitchen with everything needed to cook meals, and a laundry machine. The reason for four stars for the overall rating instead of five was due to unforeseeable issues I wouldn't fault the rental company for. For the last two days of our stay we got a notice for pest control service inside (meaning we would need to adjust our schedule) and a notice for fire hydrant testing that would cause parking availability problems. HOA/condo notices isn't something we normally think about when planning a vacation and is not limited to this one rental. Also, this is the tropics, there are pests everywhere so the routine pest control is a good thing. There are a few maintenance items that need attention, but the management company has the short list. They were responsive to the one thing that needed to be taken care of while we were there, so I have no reason to doubt they’ll take care of the rest. From reading the rules sheet I can tell the owner really cares about their property and keeping it maintained for future guests. We're considering listing our house for vacation rentals in the future and I'd do the same. Lastly, this may seem obvious to 99% of us vacationers, but this is a friendly reminder to use the right detergent in the right appliance. Whoever rented this unit before used laundry detergent tabs in the dishwasher. None of us got sick from using the dishes cleaned in the dishwasher. However, if you rent this unit and the smell is still there, make sure to hand wash the plastic dishes as the smell leeches into them. Don't let this deter you from booking, but check with the management company first to see if it's resolved if it's of concern.

Great location, good for families, fix the washer!!!
We had a nice time in Princeville at Puamana 3c. It was pretty rainy, but we were able to enjoy our time, regardless. The unit was fine, esp. once we figured out that opening all the windows and the front door was the way to get the air flow working. There is negligible air conditioning - the window unit in the master was okay, but the unit as a whole is just pretty warm because of the loft. The best option is to open everything up and get the crosswind going. The bed configuration was perfect for my family. My kids appreciated their own space upstairs complete with a full bath. The unit is on the dark side - there's not a lot of lighting outside the kitchen area. The patio area was great as were with boogie boards in storage. The hose on the patio needs to be replaced - the output has sharp metal like it was broken off or something. We enjoyed daily wildlife visitors. Plan on a rude rooster alarm clock daily - one in particular made it a point of being right outside the patio painfully early. The reason it isn't a five star review is that we ran into a washer problem - apparently the previous renters discovered it didn't work but the property management company didn't communicate that to us. We ran a load...and it stopped while full of water. It happened on Sunday, so we tried to troubleshoot and called on Monday to discover they already knew. Grrr. They they suggested that they'd credit us $100 for us to do the laundry in Kapaa - half an hour away. That didn't work for us, so they arranged for laundry service instead. That happened twice, which worked out, but was far from convenient and not at all what we were planning on when we packed. Had they informed me when they called to confirm that we had all the check in info the day before we left, we could have adjusted our packing. As it was, it ended up fine, but added unnecessary stress to our vacation.

Perfect location for hikers
The condo was just what we needed for our family of 5. Property managers were great. Plenty of space and all the comforts of home. Tons of movies and just about every kitchen appliance You could possibly need. Solid value and convenient location. The close grocery store has everything you will need. The North side is our favorite part of the island. So many trails to hike. Really close to Queens Bath. Technically it was closed but the neighbors showed us how to access the path. It can be dangerous so read up before you go. The photos of the onsite swimming pool don’t do it justice. It is small but has a nice 8’ deep end. Hardly anyone else was using it. There were two things I would upgrade. 1. Add an air conditioner upstairs. The heat was manageable the humidity was a bit uncomfortable for our kids. 2. A couple nice frying pans and a sharpe knife.

Nice lanai and balcony (shown in photo) to go "outside" while it was raining. Only down side is there is only 1 rm with ac, which is understandable because of open loft setting. Weather wasn't on our side. It still gets a 5 star rating!! Will definitely spread the word about this place and we hope to go back again!!

Nice place and location
The location of this condo is great. It's steps from the complex pool and a quick walk to the Westin and the beach. The beach is a gem, great location and swimming especially for little ones. Tough walk when wet, bring boots or aquasocks so you don't fall. Also close to the Princeville entrance and playground, food court, store, and restaurants. Kitchen is one of the better ones I've had in a vacation rental. We made quite a few lunches and breakfasts, so it was nice to have a rice cooker, good pans, and knives. Tons of stuff in the shed, lots of kids gear, snorkel gear, a boogy board, a cooler, big ice drink holders. Plenty of heavy duty beach towels, a hose outback for washing off sand and a grill (we didn't use). The only minuses are its a very quiet complex, no noise and no using the pool after sunset. Condos are older, this one is in good shape but there is some light mildew around the upstairs windows and other older condo quirks. Air conditioning in the bedroom emits an odor when turned on I didn't like, so I slept upstairs. Being close to the Westin you can grab drinks and hang out by their pool if you want to make some noise after sunset. Our 3 year old loved their water slide and played there quite a bit. The pool is for resort guests but they won't hassle you if you're a paying customer. We had a great trip and would definitely rent this unit again!

Beautiful place with plenty of room for all six of us to stay comfortably!
Fully equipped island home-away-from-home. We were thankful to find beach towels, chairs, gear, a grill ( careful... The circle in the center tends to fall through when you are arranging meat on it), extra towels and linens available, full sized washer and dryer, and ample kitchen equipment for preparing meals with groceries from the stores that are only minutes away. We enjoyed the books and games, found the printer handy for printing passes ( via Bluetooth). All communications regarding rental, questions, etc have been excellent. Even the binder and guidebooks provided all sorts of info so we knew where to eat, how to find sightseeing landmarks and where the safer and less safe beaches and paths are, so we knew which ones would be best for the whole family. Want to add that the Island Helicopters 50 minute tour was even a little longer than 50 and was truly amazing. Beyond worth it. And, although we didn't end up on Captain Andy's dinner cruise due to weather changes, they were incredibly helpful in giving us options: not every cruise company provides either an alternate route or a full refund. We were sad to miss Napali by boat, but the quick and easy refund left us with an evening to go find a fantastic dinner. Our favorites were Lemongrass in Kapaa and Bull Shed in Wailea. If I could recommend any changes at all, it would be to add a regular broom for tidying up (other than the small push broom useful for the porch where you keep shoes), and note that the washer makes a funny sound while running, possibly a belt slipping? We are so thankful to have stayed here. Mahalo!

Very unhappy with our stay.
This place is a real health hazard. There is mold in the place and who knows what else. We complained to the management company when we got there about the smell. It was real musty and my eyes burned as soon as I walked in. A couple of mornings when I woke up my eyes were sealed shut from the irritation to them and I had to put water on them to open them up. On our return trip the pain in my ears from the congestion was almost unbearable as we took off and landed in the plane. My wife and I are still sick and we have both been to doctors. My wife is being treated for pneumonia and I can't hear out of both of my ears. The management company went out of their way to help us out and sent a couple of people over to help get rid of the odor and do some clean up. I am very pleased with the management company. The problem is with the owner. You need not to rent this place out again until this problem can be resolved. The owner needs to get involved and take care of the issues. We have been to Kauai 5 or 6 times in the last 10 years and have never experienced a situation like this. We are very unhappy with our choice of accomodations and will be more careful in our selection of a place to stay in the future.
