We just returned from a fantastic week's stay at this gorgeous condo. It was very clean, and looked just like the pictures. Steve was a very gracious host and gave us a lot of recommendations ahead of time as to things to do, beaches to visit and restaurants to dine in. He even left us a very thoughtful welcome gift. The kitchen was so well set up, that we ended up eating most meals at the condo. We did have dinner at B's, had a couple of great pizzas at Hideaways and headed to Poipu one day to eat lunch the Grand Hyatt. We also went tubing down a mountain canal - it was so fun - highly recommend it, but reserve early! We had all the comforts of home (thank goodness for the portable air conditioning units, it did get a little toasty a couple of the days) and truly enjoyed our stay. Nights on the lanai were perfect and I got some of the most gorgeous sunset pictures. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Steve and his condo to anyone looking for a lovely stay in Princeville. We will definitely be back! Thank you, Steve.

This unit is spacious and very well laid out . The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen very well-stocked . There is no grill on property so cooking is limited to oven and cooktop , not ideal for summer meals . No review of this place could omit mentioning the gorgeous view and lovely setting . It felt very private . I would hesitate to bring small children due to the proximity to the steep cliffs . A little later checkout would be helpful as getting all the towels and linens washed by 10 was rushed and a bit stressful .

My wife and I have been lucky enough to return to Kauai year after year for almost thirty years running. We always stay in the Pali Ke Kua complex. The grounds are well kept and the property is pretty quiet. The iconic view from unit #214 can’t be beat. After a late afternoon swim down at Hideaways Beach below the unit, we like to retreat to the lanai for a game of backgammon and a cold drink or two. Teams of paddlers often emerge from beyond the point during this time paddling multi-person canoes across the water just as the sun prepares to drop over the edge of the horizon. As the sun sets, the colors of the sky grow more and more vivid, bathing the mountains and ocean in the most dramatic light. It is quite the sight to behold and a memory that calls us to return again and again. The property management is also very professional, prompt, and easy to communicate with. The unit is as advertised with everything one might need for a comfortable stay on the north shore. (AC would be nice but, to my knowledge, none of the units at Pali Ke Kua offer it as the old-school, early 1970s buildings are not set up for it.)

Amazing views, literally takes your breath away when you step into the condo. Not far from Hanalei Bay. There is a good sized supermarket close by in Priceville as well. Bathrooms were nice and they do provide beach and boogie boards stored in the closet. The kitchen was great, nice appliances and cookware. The one improvement could be around the bed and linens. Needs a refresh for sure, but not a deal breaker.

Unit 245 is a great rental. Location, setting, aesthetics were all fantastic. The unit is stocked as well as your own home. I wanted to heat up my delicious fish from our dinner at 1 Hotel ( amazing and a 3 minute drive away) and they even had parchment paper to use on the cookie sheet to warm it up! The power went out on the island and they had candles and flashlights !! Every single thing you need for daily life much less a very comfortable vaca!! The ONLY things that need to be changed ; please put a set of dresser drawers in the downstairs bedroom!! The cabinet there is beautiful but useless as it is only shelves and would be much more usefull upstairs in the bathroom for towels,etc! Also, please put a curtain or shutter door in front of the stacked washer/ dryer. It's awesome to have it but as a mom, the last thing I want staring me in the bathroom mirror is a washer/dryer. And last but not least, a YALE lock would be so much more useful then the keyed entrance. One, it's annoying to keep up with and also that it has to be dropped off on your way to the airport. In this day and age, I think very few people on vaca want to have that extra hassle. Little things that would make Pali Ke Kua absolutely perfect. Do yourself a favor and use the concierge service, they are wonderful! We booked ziplining ( amazing!) horseback riding ( gorgeous) and had a Napali Coast boat tour but unfortunately it was canceled due to weather. And the snorkeling at Pali Ke Kua resort is Hideaways Beach and is absolutely the best on the Island and the trek down and up is 100% worth it !! Just don't carry too much. It's a hike but very easy and well paved it's just an incline. The path is between bldg 1 & 2 . Kauai is the best island and you will have a great time if you chose to stay here !! And I'm picky ; ) .

This home is decorated nicely. It is apparent that the owners have but quite a bit of effort into furnishing it. The bathrooms have been redecorated and are beautiful. We enjoyed the patio which adjoins a lawn and has an ocean view. The children enjoyed sleeping and playing in the little back den with the sleeper sofa. We were a group of 6 and my husband and I slept in the back bedroom It is beautiful, but small and was cramped, but doable, with us and our luggage.

ReMax coordinates the stay and we didn't receive the door code to access the unit without having to figure out how to communicate with them. Cell service in Princeville is very spotty! When we got to the room it was 87 degrees inside (windows were closed and the 3 portable A/C units were off). It was supposedly a mistake and ReMax did make it right so no biggie in the end. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and the 6 beach towels were large and helpful. The unit also had 4 beach chairs, a cooler and an umbrella. Not to mention an amazing view over the Pacific.

The condo is as advertised and was close enough to everything yet far enough away that we had privacy.
We would have given all categories a five star rating but the check in process feels archaic and old. To have to stop at the office to pick up the keys and to have to drop them off is a bit inconvenient when you are traveling from out of town. It added a layer of stress that isn’t necessary if the condo has a key box or code to enter.

Having stayed elsewhere in Princeville before, we enjoyed the airflow in the condo, as it stayed comfortable all the time in warm July, and we didn't have to use the upstairs AC. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked, and the barbecue was great to have available to use. Really enjoyed the lanai for meals and relaxing. Liked having the pool/hot tub close by, and the beach chairs and other beach gear were handy. A short walk to amazing sunrises and sunset views! Mahalo for your hospitality!

This place is just as advertised. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, great views. I enjoyed walking to 1 Hotel in the mornings for coffee. It is so nice that the owner has all of the beach supplies you need for 6 people including snorkeling gear, beach chairs, umbrella and towels and even a wagon so you can lug it all to the beach. His guide book is thorough with great suggestions and he was open to helping out if we needed him for anything. It's nice that you can walk to your own small snorkeling beach from the property and it's a quick drive to Hanalei and other towns. I would recommend this place for your vacation!

The condo was as advertised. Every morning was coffee on the lanai overlooking the ocean and that was spectacular. It is showing it’s age, needs a little minor TLC and could have less furniture. Afternoons were nice and can get hot outside with setting sun. Priced right for location. Glad we stayed there.

Very nice spacious apartment with an amazing garden view with birds residing there and beautiful exotic flowers.

The apartment is a 15 minute walk to the secret Hideaway Beach, which was the best snorkeling spot on the island. Definitively worth it.

My wife and I had a lovely 10-night stay at this unit in Mid-June of 2024. Situated on a cliff it overlooks the Hideaway beach which is 10 minutes from the property. The views featured on the VRBO website is accurate. In short, it is a gorgeous location. We had a very positive experience working with Kauai Vacation Rentals & Real Estate, they are a reputable and professionally run company that made renting the unit easy and straightforward. Staying at Pali Ke Kua 212 is recommended.

Must begin by complimenting the professional team members at Kauai Vacation Rentals. Super friendly, compassionate, and eager to make our vacation experience the very best possible. Our unit was as expected and properly advertised. Beautiful ocean and shore uninterrupted views. Our unit was upgraded and well cared for including comfortable beds, well-appointed kitchen, and quality furnishings. The complex was quiet and close to restaurants and shopping. Top notch beaches are minutes away! Great snorkeling, boating, and surf all near our facility. We will definitely stay here again!

The condo gets very hot during the day. We tried everything to keep it cooler, windows open and closed, curtains closed, sunshade on the lanei down, but it was still hot and stuffy each time we returned. The A/C worked well in the bedroom downstairs but it took a while to cool the bedroom upstairs even with two other fans. We saw two huge and alive cockroaches inside downstairs. There was no hose to wash down the beach gear so we had to keep filling up buckets. Note: we called the condo to see about using a hose and they said they didn’t have anything for us. Parking is tight. Closet doors upstairs were broken and closet downstairs doors didn’t close right. Overall we were not impressed with this condo given the price we paid. Recommend adding in a walking path for the pool/restaurant since you have to walk down the road to get there and it’s already quite narrow.

This property was very clean with beautiful ocean view that you can see from living room/dining room/kitchen. Bedrooms have garden view. It is located in Princeville north shore. Very close to Hanalei where all the restaurants and shopping area is. There are some very good restaurants in pinceville as well. We loved everything about it except this property didn’t have shampoo or lotion. Not a big deal of not having shampoo. We just wish we had known in advance so that we could’ve picked up on our way from the airport. Otherwise excellent location. Excellent management.

We really enjoyed our stay! The condo is clean, really spacious, and beautifully decorated. The bathrooms are huge, and the layout allows for everyone to have their own space. The best part is the setting, the living space looks out onto a beautiful grassy area, which is beautifully landscaped with island plant variety. The birds would frequent the area, and it was like our own private botanical zoo. We especially enjoyed our morning coffee just gazing out at all the greenery, it was beyond serene and peaceful. Also really quiet and private, we felt like the only ones there. Walking distance to hideaways beach, and the super relaxing setting makes this place a true gem. We will definitely stay here anytime we visit the north side of the island!

We loved our stay at this property. It was just as listed. The view couldn't be beat. The property was so quiet and relaxing and the home had everything we could need for our stay- in the kitchen, beach and pool toys, etc. As noted there was no AC, which we were nervous about in July. But we figured out to close the shades during the day while we were gone and use the door screens in the evening when we returned for cross ventilation. We've already recommended this property to friends and can't wait to return.

Our vacation in Kauai was absolutely wonderful! The condo's location was ideal for us, offering cleanliness and all the essential amenities. Although there was no outdoor grill at the unit, the portable air conditioning units effectively cooled the bedrooms. However, the main living area did tend to get warm in the afternoons. Despite this, we would happily choose to stay here again.

Could you spend more and get something ocean front, of course but you do not need to. The location is perfect for short walk for sunset views, hideaways beach, and queens bath. There is no AC and it can get warm late afternoon but the fans and once sunsets it does cool off.

The view of course was the best part. It took our breath away! However, the rental didn't look like the pics as far as decoration. When we got there at 4 the cleaning crew was not done but they were sweet and let us in while they cleaned. That ins unacceptable when Checkin is already so late at 4. The unit was so hot it was unbearable and this was a dealbreaker for us. Our girls loved having their own beds but it was a sweat box up there. The part I really disliked was the bedding in the master room as it all smelled like mildew so I could not sleep in the there and that's where the air was. Besides the view the positives were having a washer/dryer to clean clothes, having a living room to relax and watch some TV and stumbling across the Hideaways restaurant that was awesome and just across from our condo. We went to 1 Resort to swim. The lack of air through the whole place and the mildew smell of bedding leaving me to sleep on the couch was very disappointing.
