Great view and location. Clean and good appliances / washer dryer. No A/C but ocean breeze greatly mitigates especially at night. North shore of Kauai has nice vibe and we very much enjoyed our stay.

What a stunning unit! Absolutely gorgeous views and the unit is very clean and modern. Instructions are clear and easy to follow. Beds were comfortable and towels were fluffy. Balcony was so nice to have and watch the waves. About 10-15 from Hanalei. We will be dreaming about our time here forever.

Lucy has a great property! It’s well stocked, clean, great location and amazing views from every room. Lucy was very helpful when we needed assistance with the coffee pot. We are already trying to plan a return trip. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to return.

Really great week at this condo. Very comfortable and equipped very well. The beach gear is a nice added bonus. Communication from the manager was great as well. Book with confidence.

The property had a great view, but the property manager was unresponsive. The cable box did not work, they sent maintenance who did not fix it, so he took the Roku box from bedroom--resulting in no tv in bedroom and only Roku streaming for the entire stay. Did not supply enough toilet paper. We were staying for 14 days. Expected to buy ourselves--never had to do that at any other Vrbo property. Kitchen had been remodeled, but the stove did not work well. Also, the stove & microwave control indicators had rubbed off so had to hunt to use both. Beds and living room furniture were uncomfortable and virtually no décor compared to other places that I have stayed.

I don’t think a few words will sum up our stay at Bill’s spectacular oceanfront condo. You will want for nothing while you stay here. The location is 5-10 minutes away from everything in Princeville and Hanalei bay. It was truly the perfect place for our stay. The waves were mesmerizing to watch and fall asleep to. Thank you for everything Bill. We will back next year around the same time.

This place was perfect!!! The views are absolutely amazing! The location was very convenient, to everything we wanted to do. This condo was extremely clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a week on the north shore. We will definitely be booking this condo for our next visit to Kaua’i!

The location was good and the view just outside the unit was great. Communication was also good. The unit was fine but dated and needs a major upgrade - bathroom tub and walk in had stains and were poorly maintained. Unit was well furnished and stocked with everything you need. Bonus was having a washer and dryer in the unit!

The is view worth the price of admission! Whether sitting on the lanai or lounging in the bedrooms, you’ll have an incredible view. There is a grocery store around the corner so you can stock up for the stay. We used the condo as a jumping off point for the whole island. I highly recommend!

This condo has everything! It is just a described and better. We enjoyed the wonderful views of the ocean from the lanai and both bedrooms. The owner Lucy was really great to work with. Very responsive and super helpful. The kitchen was the most stocked kitchen I have experienced in a vacation rental. It has everything. The washer and dryer is a nice amenity. Beds were very comfortable. There is also all the beach things you would need. Chairs/umbrellas towels!! Made going to the beach easy and fun. I very highly recommend this condo. You will not be disappointed. Hopefully I will have a chance to return to Kauai And I will definitely be staying here again. Thanks so much Lucy for sharing your beautiful property with us.

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: Our stay here was amazing! One of the best things is that the unit was exactly as pictured- no disappointments! The decor and quality of furnishings was great and we loved having plenty of space while on vacation. We did have some trouble finding the unit, but the after hours staff were so helpful! We printed all directions as instructed, but GPS led us slightly astray. Make sure to just follow the written only! One note- there is a key lock box on the wall next to door, but the code is for the actual door (not the lock box). A little confusing and can be remedied with a small note in welcome directions. The condo had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We especially appreciated the beach towels, cooler, etc. Only wish we had an umbrella but we packed hats!Although it's tough to pick the best thing about this unit, it would have to be the view. Having a front row seat to the ocean beauty was amazing, and we spent so much time outside taking it all in. We will definitely be coming back to stay here again! Thank you for a great trip.

Overall, good spot, easy access/check-in. It was clean and had basic kitchen and bathroom supplies, but dated. Location depends on what you are looking for. If you're wanting a more "resort" feel, it's good. If you want a more "local" feel, not so good. The other reason it's only 4/5 was an experience with the management group. The dryer had some kind or brown/rust buildup in it that left marks on a handful of our shirts and shorts. We let them know as a heads up (not complaining or anything) and all we got was "thanks, we will schedule someone to look at it." Not that we were looking for any kind of compensation or anything, but a cursory response to potentially ruined clothes due to their old dryer left a bad taste.

I cannot say enough good things about our experience at Alan and Holly’s condo! My husband and I celebrated our 20th Wedding Anniversary with our family and we had the most magical time. Every aspect exceeded our expectations . The condo is so well organized, clean, and beautiful! The views are even better than the pics! Alan and Holly were so helpful in giving tips on activities, restaurants, beaches, hikes, and even in planning our vow renewal! Don’t hesitate in planning your trip here, truly heaven on earth!

Loved our stay here with family. The condo was centrally located to all we wished to see and visit. We were happy to have access to beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, boards and more. Loved the pool to swim in at the end of the day. I highly recommend this condo.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. 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 was okay. I wouldn't rebook it though. The bathrooms needed a complete remodel. The tub was gross, and the cabinets were in need of an update. You had a HUGE HOLE in the wall in the kitchen. Perfect for insects, or rodents to come through. I never cooked in that kitchen.

This property was perfect for our needs. The view was outstanding and falling asleep to the sound of the ocean was wonderful. The condo had everything we needed and was nice and quiet. We appreciated the boogie boards to use. If we travel back to Kaua’i we will book here again.

The Banyan building unit was very spacious. Overlooked the really nicely appointed pool. Could hear the ocean waves breaking against the sea wall across the street. The only complaint is that there is not any air conditioning. The room is very warm if it is warm outside. But, the ceiling fans help and with more upright fans the temp was tolerable.

Everything was great it would have been better if they had A/C it was hot and I would pay more for this.

The property itself was very clean and well decorated and the property manager was very nice and easy to get along with. However, the details of listing were not as accurate as I believe they should have been. The unit doesn’t have A/C which is problematic with the humidity of the island so the unit stayed uncomfortably warm during the day until about 9:00 at night. Because you have to sleep with the windows open the roosters wake you up at 4:00 am crowing and don’t stop all day so making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. Additionally, the unit is on the first floor and it’s a middle unit so we could hear the TV from our neighbors in the bedroom as well as the footsteps from the unit above us. The kitchen wasn’t stocked very well and the beds were a bit too hard for my liking. My boyfriend and I left the property early because we needed some good sleep and when I discussed the issue with the property manager he didn't offer to give us any kind of reimbursement. I don’t believe this unit is worth the price we paid and the description of the unit is a bit misleading.

We recently stayed at this location for our anniversary. The condo was perfect any as described. What a view to wake up to every morning through the bedroom window. We would definitely stay here again!

Sherri's condo in the Alii Kai resort is perfect for a quiet, relaxing Kauai vacation. The lanai, living room, and bedrooms have a mountain view, with the kitchen and bathrooms featuring an ocean view. Although there is no direct beach access in Princeville, the beautiful Hanalei Beach and family-friendly Anini Beach are less than fifteen minutes away. The unit itself is well-appointed and was spotless upon our arrival. We would not hesitate to stay here again on a return trip.

The condo was well appointed and everything worked properly. Great to sit on the patio and have our coffee each morning - lots of birds, chickens and chicks and roosters, and views of the surrounding greenery and distant mountains. Only complaint is that the bathrooms (especially the second one) were a little rundown on the flooring and grouting - could use an update.

Property was as advertised. Good location. Drama free (always welcome)! Beach equipment availabilty was hugely appreciated. Furniture is a little dated (didn’t really bother us frankly). The only ding is the lack of A/C which was clearly communicated. It could get a little warm at night but the bigger issue was nighttime noise from the parking lot and the roosters in the morning. Just kind of amplified it because all the windows had to be open. All in all would not hesitate to recommend.

We really enjoyed our week there. The unit looks like the pictures and is in good shape. The balcony offered nice horizon views of the water as well as the majestic mountains to the west. Many fun shops and good restaurants in the area, but also very quiet for a nice zen vacation vibe. The unit does not have A/C, but the fans and breezes kept everything at a very comfortable temp.

Amazing condo it was beautifully decorated. It was nice to come back from the beaches and activities and have such a wonderful condo. It had a beautiful view, great pool and barbecue area. Great service from the owners, easy check in and great information on how to arrive and get into the condo.

Easy check-in, beautiful views, very beachy vibe, comfortable. Unfortunately no walking beach access -as I had hoped, (but not suggested by owner-he was great and helpful info)! Very good location for driving short distances to good food (food land poke awesome!) and beaches.

Quite and peaceful, great place to recharge your batteries. The unit is incredibly well equipped with stuff you'd find at home, condiments, spices, cooking utensils, stuff for the beach. This is the most well thought out place we've stayed.

Very relaxing with the ocean breeze and sounds. Bed was comfortable and the place was cozy and very clean. It was amazing laying in bed and looking at the stars and watching the sunrise in the morning. Highly recommended!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit was in decent shape, but we discovered several things that were dirty - such as dirty dishes that were placed in the cupboards. There were visible dust bunnies on the floor in the living room when we arrived, and there was a reddish brown substance that looked like dried blood on the living room curtains as well as the guest bathroom door and wall. The tall cylinder tower fan was filthy and left dust bunnies everywhere when used or moved. The cross winds do not push through the unit as was advertised, so the entire stay was uncomfortably warm, with the provided fans not able to move enough air. Overall the unit was fine but could benefit from better attention to detail on cleaning as well as improved fans to keep guests comfortable. We will not return to this unit.
