Princeville Condo Rental

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Terrific location with amazing view of ocean. Nice complex and spacious 2-bedroom unit. Well provisioned with kitchenware, beach equipment, linens, furniture, etc. Was overall clean, but some visible weather damage inside, carpets stained multiple places, missing/broken screens on windows, and most appliances older, so not refurbished as implied by listing. Overall, a nice stay, but had expected better condition for the price.

Beautiful place

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We ended up staying in a nice 2nd floor unit here. It was comfortable and the views were amazing.We started out in a first floor unit that smelled strongly of mildew which I am allergic to. The only real problem was that the range in the kitchen had an electrical problem. A burner stayed hot even when it was turned off. My husband found the electric panel and flipped the switch. It was late on Father’s Day evening and we did not want to bother the man guy. I reported it and someone was supposed to come by and try to fix it. No one came and when i contacted management they were insistent that we had forgotten to leave the key in the lock box so Maintence could get in. Three of us were there when we put the key in. And besides we were easily contactable by phone. But rather than just saying “Oh sorry, let’s try again” management tried to make me feel like it was our fault. That’s poor customer service in my book.

The view is spectacular. The accommodation has several problems in our opinion.

The property location is absolutely perfect, the view at the ocean every day is spectacular. Exactly what we were looking for. However, it rained while we were at the property and the beams on the ceiling leaked water onto the floor… constantly… when it rains you cannot have the windows or doors open, because the wind will blow the water into the condo. And there’s no air conditioning which makes it extremely humid. Our clothes are damp. Even our passports are damp. The only time the fans help is when you’re in bed trying to sleep. I’m not going to list all the other items these two were major items. I’m not sure when the “Upgrades” happened but this is NOT A LUX property listing. We believe all the humidity and water is what’s causing a lot of the deterioration in this property. The bed was very comfortable. The property manager fantastic.

Nice decor, but not nice enough for the price

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Puu Poa in Princeville is a great location - this is our third stay in this complex and there is not a bad view. Each condo has pretty much the same layout. #403 Meh. Upgraded furniture, kitchen and decor, but no outdoor grill, no AC, living room fan doesn’t even cool ... which is next to an atrium with a glass ceiling that collects a lot of afternoon sun. For the higher nightly rate, these are basics guests should expect. My brother stayed in building 2 - decor not as “Pottery Barn” but they had AC, grill, atrium and same layout and paid a fraction of the cost per night. Master bedroom window does not close and with nightly rain showers we both woke up severely congested and everything felt damp. Disappointing, wanted to love this place.

This unit could use some attention

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It seemed like this unit may have just begun being rented. In general a nice place, but it needs some attention in the following areas: - Couldn’t get TV to change channels, emailed owner and did not get a response- DVD not connected- Dangerous chair on lanai, could easily fall over backwards- Step to lanai dangerous, short steps that I stumbled on, and my wife fell- No ice maker- No BBQ - On a positive note, the beds are very comfortable

Cliff top wonder

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: The apartment is wonderful - beautifully sited to see the ocean and sunsets. The winds keep the place cool, especially with the fans on. It is large and comfortable. The location is perfect for walking to hideaways beach. The pool was nice for cooling off and mellowing out, especially in the evening. We’ve stayed in several Puu Poa apartments over the last 10 years and this one was our favorite (mostly). We really enjoyed our month at the apartment. Our only criticism - a big one - is the weird, completely useless dinner plate size electric grill on the lanai. In a place with no ac, no one wants to cook inside but the grill would not heat up - even after half an hour - not even enough to cook veggies, much less fish or meat. We called oceanfront and they were fabulous, but it’s an owner issue. Otherwise, great stay - clean, roomy, comfortable and ocean waves lull you to sleep. And the limitations on reaching hanalei are not as bad as it might seem in the beginning. It’s easy to get the hang of the rhythm of it.

Beautiful view

Yes, the view is amazing. You can watch the whales right from the balcony. As others have said, it’s a bit of a trek down to the beach, and I wouldn’t recommend after a rain, but we did it in flip flops and a drink in hand... it’s not THAT bad! This particular property could use some attention though. It’s only been tended on the surface-and not all of them at that. The cupboard faces were filthy-we had to clean before we felt comfortable touching them. The deck edges were caked with grime (the deck below us was not), the barbecue leg was broken and the barbecue itself was, well, pretty gross inside, and there was nothing to clean it with The stove had a hard time coming up to temperature-so be prepared to eat late. And the amenities were certainly not what we are used to from other vrbos. Cooking supplies were non existent-not even cooking oil. The impressive spice rack is completely empty. The outside shed had a couple (only) old chairs, broken snorkeling gear, and a couple unbroken boogie boards. There was lots of sand play toys though, if you have kids. There is no air conditioning, but the nights cool off so we were comfortable. The Wi-Fi didn’t work but my sister is a tech, so she figured it out. The property manager only responded Monday morning (we checked in Saturday), and it’s a good thing my sister had fixed it, because the property mgr emailed (um, said I didn’t have wifi so could they please call), suggesting I was using the wrong password. I am thinking Wi-Fi wouldn’t have been avail for a different set of guests. We still enjoyed our stay, these are just nit picky things-in case the reader is nit picky too. We have just found that other vrbos (for less money) had more to offer. But the view?? Now THAT can’t be beat :). And heck, you’re in Kauai! If you don’t enjoy that all by itself, well, I can’t help you there! Aloha!!

Beautiful views, spacious condo

The condo is very large, well equipped (bring your own sharp knife though, if you like to cook). There is a full ocean view from the spacious lanai but also from the rest of the front . Beautiful Hideaway Beach is below, although access is currently difficult. It was very hot while we were there , and, with no air conditioning it did get warm in the afternoons but there are ceiling fans and standing fans. It is very comfortable; a bit dated, but that's not an issue for us in a vacation rental. We had a problem with the television and it was VERY promptly and efficiently dealt with. We didn't find the WiFi to be very good. It's a very short walk to the Princeville Resort . We enjoyed having drinks at sunset there one night. The sunset watching from the lanai is spectacular though. Be aware that the room rate is misleading. All the various fees and taxes really add up. Also be aware that a half day rate may be negotiated if your flight leaves at night. We would happily rent this condo again.

Lovely property with only a few negatives.

Puu Poa 403 is a lovely, comfortable property with a gorgeous view. The beds are wonderful and perfect after a day enjoying the beautiful island of Kauai. Everything you need is provided in the kitchen. The bed linens and bath towels were of a high standard. There were plenty of board games and books available, a very good selection of TV stations, and good internet service provided. However, there were a few things that were neglected but can be fixed very easily. Several of the kitchen knives in the knife block had obviously not been washed, there was dried, crusty food on them. There were also fingerprints on the kitchen cabinets. Housekeeping needs to pay a little more attention to cleaning the kitchen. Several of the screens on the windows had holes in them or had torn. We hated to open those windows because of letting bugs, lizards, etc in. (we already had one resident lizard). The awning on the second bedroom window was missing, not a huge deal but not much shade for that bedroom and just looked neglected. There was one dining room chair missing , again not a huge deal for us but also looked neglected. The umbrella stand on the lanai was broken and we were constantly afraid the wind was going to catch the open umbrella and turn the table over. We reported this upon arrival, since it was late Saturday we were told someone would be by to look at it the next day. The problem was not fixed only a “make do”. We never heard from the property management company to see if it had been properly fixed or not. A good second fan would have been nice in the living room since it did get very warm in the afternoons. We were asked several weeks before our arrival if the owners could come by and retrieve something out of the owners closet at a specific time on Monday after we checked in on Saturday. It was not a huge deal and reluctantly we said that would be OK. However, it was a slight inconvenience to have to leave at the given time. Maybe they could have retrieved their item while no one was occupying the residence? This is truly a beautiful property and we enjoyed our week there very much and we would definitely return. When you spend $300.00 plus a night for accommodations you expect everything to be in good working order and very clean , which for the most part was. There needs to be some attention to detail to make this property truly special.

Great stay

The condo was very spacious and had everything we needed for a great stay. Beds were very comfortable which has not been the case in other places we've stayed on the island. Walking distance to Hideaway beach, Queens Bath and the Princeville hotel. Only issue we had was that the condo has a small water heater and we were there with a family of four. We couldn't all take a warm shower after a day at the beach. Not a big deal, but just have to space out the hot water a bit. All in all, I highly recommend. I would suggest bringing a blue tooth speaker if you like to listen to music. That would be the only suggestion I would make to the management. A blue tooth speaker or something to stream music on. Thanks for a great stay!

Beautiful, comfortable, clean but under provisioned.

We enjoyed our stay. Lovely views from the terrace. Nice ocean front pool. Great location. Good internet and TV service. The terrace had a gas grill, but it was caked with burnt on grease from previous uses. Required two hours to clean, making it safe before use. Also very limited supplies such as paper products and dishwasher/dish washing soap compared with other places we have stayed. Also it would be helpful to have additional lamps for reading.

Great week at Puu Poa #403

Overall # 403 was great however it could use some special attention beyond weekly cleanings between rentals. Two fans in the bedroom did not work and the master Bedroom ceiling fan had only one speed (very slow). Patio Grill was very dirty, I spent an hour cleaning the holes in the grill from past grilling. The Patio screen doors seem worn out and the Master Shower has an area where water stands from past showers (stained). The internet is very slow, only good for email and simple internet use. TV channels for the rainy days was great, many choices. Many games to play with family on rainy days. Kitchen had all you need for meals each day.

Great location, great view!

The location is excellent. Great view of the ocean. The property is clean and the beds, per other reviews, is like sleeping in the clouds. The bathrooms are large and clean. The deck is awesome for late night viewing of the stars and Milky Way. Just a top notch spot all the way. Now for a few small comments that hopefully the owners will read: Buy a few new ice cube trays! A bag of ice was provided, but a few dollars for new trays doesn't kill the profit margins. The fans are needed at night. AC would've been nice, but is not necessary unless you like it ice cold at night. They have small what I believe are air purifiers, that look like AC units, but aren't. They are not particularly useful nor easy to operate. Not sure why they are there. The outdoor closet is a mess and full of old musty rusty chairs and outdoor water sports equipment that has to be thrown out and replaced. Or at least partially cleaned out. Finally, the lock on the front door is problematic. It has to be jiggered every time you close it or open it. The door was actually ajar (closed but lock was not engaged) when we arrived. Coming home the first night with little light and not knowing how to jigger it open was a bit concerning. After getting the hang of it, no biggie, but make sure the locking mechanism is engaged before leaving. And have patience opening it up. It's actually a cool, big heavy door. But the lock is a PIA. Again, just some suggestions. No reason to not stay here. It is 4.5 stars easily. just that I cannot put the extra half star on the review.

This condo was perfect for my husband and I and our 9 month old baby. Close to everything, great pool, lots of space and it was great to be able to make breakfast and dinners in if we so desired, yet make a quick walk to the St Regis for happy hour every night! We can’t wait to come back.

Place fit for a king

My wife and I searched hi and low for a place to renew our vows and when we came across this luxurious property, we knew right away, it was meant for us, We got married on the beach in front of the St. Regis years ago and wanted to revisit that same tree where we made a lifelong commitment to one another. We wanted to feel like we were on our honeymoon all over again after our second ceremony and this property allowed us to feel like we were in our youth all over again. The views were absolutely stunning. The fresh sea breeze coming off the pacific ocean, the sun sets and the sound of huge crashing waves are enough to steal anyones heart. We spent the evenings grilling up fresh yellowfin tuna from out deep sea fishing trip. The place has an awesome deck with a nice gas grill. It couldn't have been any more perfect to have a place to kick back, have a few wonderful adult libations and grill up fresh catch with the most incredible views. For the romantic at heart, I would strongly recommend this stunning property. It is very comfortable and has everything to make you feel right at home.

Stunning Princeville luxury retreat!

We wanted great location with ocean views. And we love clean, upscale modern design and furnishings. This place rocks providing all of that and more. It was an extra special treat to be able to work across the street to dine at the St Regis! Can't wait to come back!
