Spectacular views from this condo!

We had a great time at the condo - the views are amazing. The lanai is very spacious with a table and umbrella for outside dining and two lounge chairs. The primary bedroom is very large as is the bathroom. The second bedroom is also good sized. The kitchen was well equipped for us - we did not cook much. We really liked the wood floors throughout, which made the space much warmer. We were able to drop our bags early, which was helpful as we had a late afternoon permit to hike and did not want to leave bags in the car. We walked to both the Hideway Beach and the beach next to the One Hotel, both are beautiful. The condo has tennis courts, which our adult children used. It's an easy trip to Hanalei for meals and a grocery store is within 10 minutes. We were in Kauai during March madness and appreciated the large TV in the living room to watch the games. The sound of the sea was the only sound we heard at night. A beautiful spot!

The perfect vacation stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay in this beautiful condo. It was exactly as pictured and described and we will miss it when we check out shortly. The location was excellent and we just could not get enough of hearing the waves all night. Excellent cross breezes kept us comfortable. Well-stocked and we utilized the great grocery store right down the road. Plenty of space for our family of four and we got a lot of use out of the spacious lanais and the pool too. We hope to have the opportunity to stay here again in the future. Mahalo!

Beautiful property

We didn't have enough days at the property (do you ever though) but enjoyed the space and the view when we could! Always rainbows to see off the lanai and it is in a very peaceful area. We would certainly stay here again if we get to travel back to Kauai! Property manager responded immediately when we had a hangup getting in on arrival which was great!

First Time to Kauai

The location in Princeville is really stunning - private deck with bbq and chairs for sunning (If the sun shines) or for just looking at the surf break and the whales. Love that the pool is at one end of the complex so no noise. Unit is well equipped and we loved the big TV with all possible channels available to watch a show after dinner. We had lots of fun exploring the island of Kauai and playing golf at the Makai course.

Beautiful Place to Stay

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.

Excellent Location and everything you could want

The property is absolutely beautiful. The kitchen is the most well stocked of any ive seen. The bed was very comfortable with a view. It is so spacious you could stay comfortably for a month! Wish i could. The location is minutes from Hanalei Bay which is so very nice. Great food, shave ice, kayaking. From the condo you can walk to excellent snorkeling. We also enjoyed the pool- not much because there was too much to do. And the. Relaxing on the beautiful lanai with sunsets that were inspiring was the end of perfect days. We did travel the entire island but would definitely stay on the North shore again- hopefully in 209.

Perfection in a Kauai condo

This online description does not do this place justice. It is much better and apart from being in beautiful Kauai, likely the best VRBO property I’ve ever stayed in. From the outstanding communication and service from the property owner to the well stocked unit to the amazing view, we couldn’t have asked for more. The location is convenient to Hideaway beach and other amazing spots along the north shore, Hanalei and the Na Pali coast. We had to evacuate Maui during the fires and the owner was quick and willing to turn over the unit so we could check in same day. I really hope when we return to Kauai this unit will be available.

Homey condo with beautiful ocean view!

We stayed in this home with beautiful ocean view for 4 weeks in March and loved it! The kitchen is well equipped, including premium waffle maker and blender. With our extended stay , we enjoyed the large screen TV in living room with spectrum cable and a few subscription apps. The lanai included high quality comfortable furniture, new umbrella, full size Weber gas grill and beautiful plants. We especially enjoyed the orchid plant(s) on the master bedroom lanai which was in full bloom our entire stay. The owner notified us prior to our arrival he had ordered new beach chairs and we were pleasantly surprised to find the box of 4 beach chairs with umbrellas in the unit upon our arrival. We personally appreciated that the unit had bamboo floors vs carpet. As noted, the unit doesn’t have air conditioning, but the ocean breeze kept the home comfortable, and the bonus was hearing the sound of the surf both day and night. The heated pool was much enjoyed on the days we choose not to go to the beach or sight seeing. Due to our extended stay, we communicated with Walter (owner) on a few occasions and he responded on a timely manner. We would definitely return to this unit!

Why they chose this property

The most beautiful place in the world, the constant sound of the surf and cool trade winds blowing through the home. Watch whales from the living room and lanai Nov-April. Spinner dolphins as well.

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.
