One of the nicest rental experiences ever! Thoughtfully appointed with every detail our family could need. Wonderful layout and decor. I would have liked better quality down pillows, but not a big deal. We hope to stay in 32c again!

Great Unit!

We stayed in this Nihilani condo (32C) for 9 nights June 2023. It was well equipped and very clean. The location is great and close to several north shore beaches including Ke’e, Tunnels, Hideaway, Sealodge and Anini. The property manager Hawaii Life was very responsive. Would definitely stay here again.

The only down side is pulling into the Garage especially if you rent a bigger vehicle. It is doable but can take a bit.

One of the best VRBO properties we've stayed at

We have stayed in VRBO properties all over and many in the Princeville area before. This one was the best! Kitchen supplies, bedding, furniture, etc were all more than adequately supplied and high quality. We appreciated the extra puzzles and games that we used late in the evenings. This is a great location for all things needed on the north shore of Kauai. Thanks for sharing this incredible property.

Beautiful cozy and comfy condo in a great location

We loved staying at this beautiful condo. It was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen however was not as well-equipped for cooking meals... more cooking utensils needed (wooden). There were no coffee filters or a permanent filter to make coffee. We were only supplied one roll of paper towels for a 7-night stay. Two would have been nice. The dishwasher was broken, but we managed just fine. There was, however, a smell under the sink that was never resolved during our stay. We did find someone's leftover food container under the sink, but that was not the culprit. We also found dirty dishes (cups) in the cupboard - yuck! Aside from these little things which was no biggie in the scheme of things, we had a lovely time staying at this condo and we would definitely stay here again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 2nd time staying at Hale Kula Kai we absolutely love this place! Right when you step into the door you feel like you are home. It’s so clean, it has everything you need to go to the beach right away. Our boys love the surf boards! We had the pleasure to meet the neighbor who lives below and he is just the sweetest guy! The house has everything you need to make a gourmet mealOr just a simple grilled cheese 😊 The best place we found to eat that was close to the condo was the North Shore grill it’s right there in Princeville they have the best Hamburger called the “Braddah Burger” so good! And great pizza! Hawaii life was so great to work with when we had to reschedule because Of COVID. They are the best company! We cannot wait to stay here again next year!!

Unhappy

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property itself was lovely, clean and well appointed. However the management was very difficult to deal with. So I would NOT recommend this property to anyone. My advice would be to find another property nearby and stay clear of this place. We had a toilet clog after using it normally and now have been accused of negligence. We are told that they will retain our deposit and we will not get it back. Unfortunately dealing with the management of the property has been unpleasant and difficult. Stay away!
