Great Place to Tuck-in
I booked this condo as a spot for 4 nights between arriving in Hawaii and meeting in Oahu. Hadn’t stayed in Princeville before, and the weather was rainier than I had hoped, but unit was nice, well designed and laid out. WiFi was plenty strong for my work zooms.Owner was very helpful in advance and during my stay. Should you stay here? An unqualified YES!

Perfect Princeville Location!
My boyfriend and I booked this stay after looking at several options. It was perfect! The pictures are cute but it is better in person. Lani was so helpful. Check in was easy, everything was clean, and we had no issues. The family downstairs was so welcoming. The path behind the property to the beach was really cool! I cannot recommend this property more!

My wife loved Lani’s attentional to detail. Lani explained the property very well in the VRBO description so we knew what to expect. Very beautiful place. The ceiling fans and the bedroom cooling fan was much appreciated on two extra warm nights. the weather intimidated us from snorkeling unfortunately butLani's equipment on site had us ready. Lani also provided good local wisdom. Thanks Lani

The property was beautiful, clean, and really well-equipped. You can cook in it if you need, and there are various swimming and beach supplies. Lani, the owner, is incredible. She helps with anything you need and provides any information you might want too. She's fantastic and we had the best time in the condo. We highly recommend it and hope to be back soon!

Great place to stay!
My wife and I came for our 35th anniversary, didn't know much about Kauai but knew it was very scenic and had some great hiking trails. We stayed here for the 1st half of our trip and stayed on the south side of the island for the 2nd half. We much preferred the north side (if you need to shop at Lululemon, go to the south side). The location of the VRBO was very peaceful, relaxing, and quiet (other than the roosters, of course, but they're everywhere on the island so no getting around that). It's within walking distance to things like the Queen's Bath and a pickup point for the shuttle to Haena Park. It's also a short drive to several beaches, grocery store, shaved ice, etc. The kitchenette was great for making meals - we actually only ate out once on our whole trip, the rest of our meals we made in the condo. The lack of AC was no big deal, we were there late June/early July and didn't need it. Lani has a small cooling unit in the bedroom which was enough to keep it cool, plus the fan provided some white noise that blocked out the roosters, making it easier to sleep. Lani was great to work with, very helpful and communicative. One of the best things of staying here was Lani's guide for Kauai. Lots of very useful information, which made our whole trip go much smoother. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks, Lani!

Wonderful stay, close to great areas
We truly enjoyed our stay at Lani’s condo. We arrived the same day as a wedding we were attending and Lani and Tanya were super accommodating in allowing us to check in early. The condo is spacious, has good amenities like a mini fridge, electric stovetop, kitchen ware, beach towels, and sunscreen! We felt really comfortable in the space. There is also a designated parking spot for you if you bring or rent a car. It was also very close to amazing food spots like Hanalei bread company and beautiful beaches like Anini beach. Only tip is to bring ear plugs - the birds and roosters are quite loud at night and in the early morning. Thank you Lani for a great stay!

Hanalei is a short 7 min drive away. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Lani was so communicative leading up to the trip and during our stay! She also provides an incredible, updated, and comprehensive guide to the island prior to your arrival, which we used to plan our trip. It was such a great resource!

Stellar Experience in Princeville
My husband and I had a fabulous time staying here! Everything we needed was in the condo, which was very well laid-out and nicely furnished. Cooking was easy in the condo’s well-equipped kitchen area (there was also a gas grill by the pool). Bedding was comfortable and there were plenty of linens. We also appreciated the beach chairs, beach towels and snorkeling equipment. The property was very quiet and peaceful, with lush landscaping and a nice pool. The property was situated exactly as advertised, within a convenient walking or driving distance to shops, restaurants and many gorgeous beaches. The community the condo is in, Princeville, is really beautiful, with amazing scenery and lots of walking trails. The property owner, Lani, was incredibly thoughtful and helpful. She was quickly responsive to all of our questions both before our trip even started, and while we were there. She’s a very gracious person who made us feel completely at home in her condo. I highly recommend this property.

Perfect home base for exploring the north shore
We had a wonderful time in Kauai, and Lani's condo was perfect for recharging between full days of exploring and hiking. I also greatly appreciated the guide she put together - it is so thorough, and was super helpful for our planning. She is very communicative and friendly, and the check-in/out process was clear and easy. Everything was very tidy and comfortable, and the kitchenette is well-equipped - we made dinner one night (and used the shared grill out by the pool) and ate a few breakfasts at the condo before setting out for the day. Also appreciated the beach chairs & umbrella! I would recommend bringing ear plugs for sleeping because you will want the windows open and there are other condos/people close by (and of course the roosters that are everywhere on the island - but they were actually the quietest here of anywhere we stayed). It didn't cool off much at night during our trip, but there were several nice fans that allowed us to sleep comfortably. The location is fantastic - tucked away but close to the main road - it took about 10 mins to get to Hanalei where we went several times for restaurants etc.

Great one-bed stay in Princeville
My two teen sons and I visited Kauai and stayed here for a week and explored the island. The unit was the perfect size for the three of us and featured what we needed to have a comfortable home base. Queen in the bedroom and fold out sofa worked wonderfully. Just enough kitchen area to prepare some quicker meals and store goodies from nearby Foodland. Lani was a gracious and quickly communicative host. Do take her up on her guide and recommendations. I've visited before and I was surprised by just how much snorkeling and sights right around Princeville. I'd definitely stay here again. Late-open pool right before bed with all the stars in the sky is an indelible memory.

Lani's place was perfect for our few day stay in Kauai. It was quaint and cozy, in a great area close to everything on the north shore, and Lani's communication and recommendations were excellent. I only wish we could have stayed longer. The multiple fans and portable water AC machine were ideal and worked amazing for hot days. The complex was beautiful and safe, and it was nice to meet area folks, and go to the weekly market just a five minute walk away. Would stay again!!

About the host

Hosted by Lani Forster

Host profile image
Aloha! I am Lani and I am passionate about sharing and passing on the love I have for my island Home of Kauai to those who visit this special place. I’ve lived on Kauai for much of my life. I was born near Tunnels Beach and have always considered the North Shore of Kauai “home”. However, adventures beyond the islands, eventually brought me to the mainland and abroad. I went to school in Santa Cruz California and even got interested in colder climates for a while. Between travels abroad, I worked as an entrepreneur and in various outdoor industries for the better part of a decade, living in amazingly scenic, rural towns. One of my favorite of those towns was Jackson Hole Wyoming, where I lived for several years before moving back to Kauai. It took searching the world to ultimately realize, there’s no place like home. I truly enjoy passing on the love and reverence I have of my island home to my guests. I offer my local knowledge and recommendations in addition to providing exceptional quality accommodation and service. I've even written an extensive Kauai Guide e-book that I provide exclusively to my guests. I want to ensure that my guests have as much fun and as little worries as possible on their visits to Kauai! I love offering conscientious travelers an amazing home while they explore the Garden Island, and both my condos are thoughtfully equipped, well located and always kept clean and attended to with lots of love. I am are honored to have received such great reviews and have maintained a consistent Primer Host title with VRBO for many years. I am grateful for my guests, as they give to me just as much as I give them. Happiest of travels and lots of Aloha to you! Lani

What makes this property unique

The "Hala Hale" tastefully and efficiently equipped with everything a visitor might want or need for exploring and enjoying the North Shore of Kauai. Visitors should be able to pack light bags and not have to buy or rent things when they get here to enjoy the area. I make a concerned effort to think of the things my guests might need and provide them in my condo. I love this place and take pride in it, as it was my own home not that long ago. The walls are full of love and great memories! The condo is positioned strategically in the quietest depths of the Paniolo condo complex, farthest from any road and closest to bordering green belt. The most predominant sound you'll hear is the call of bird songs and the cooling trade winds through the trees. At night you'll hear the crickets and the waves crashing off the Anini reef. This is a quiet and peaceful unit!
