You'll have to see it to believe it: the incredible ocean views at this 2-bedroom, 2-bath Princeville condo stretch all the way to Alaska. Inside, jewel tones and tropical design invite you to unwind into vacation. Stunning beaches, mountains, and Kauai's signature North Shore hospitality surround this otherworldly bluff property. Hanalei Pier and township are close by as is magnificent Anini Beach and its coral reefs. With Kauai Airport less than an hour away, it's simple to get to and from this one-of-a-kind getaway.

Bed & Bath
Whitewater and reef views await from every window of this cheerfully designed condo. Two serene bedrooms offer accommodations for up to 4 guests. Drift away to the sound of waves on a king-size bed in the master bedroom, complete with its own en-suite bathroom and tub/shower combo. The guest bedroom has a queen-size bed, and another shared bathroom features a tub/shower combo.

Activities
Start your morning with coffee or tea on the spacious lanai. This breezy perch boasts Princeville's best views of the Anini reef. A lush lawn leads right up to the ocean's edge β€” a set of chairs offers another fine place to admire the view.

Fix breakfast in the granite and tile-lined kitchen before an awesome beach day. Choose from a number of sandy paradises: Puu Poa Beach, Hideaway Beach, and Anini Beach are beloved spots for sunbathing and snorkeling. Your group is welcome to use the complimentary beach and snorkel gear at the condo. Pick up fresh dinner ingredients (and a shave ice!) at Princeville Shopping Center on your way back home, or head right to Bar Acuda for tapas.

Parking is simple with your own dedicated space. The property's on-site pool and shared grilling area is 100 yards from you door β€” indulge in a late-night grilling session beneath the stars between dips in the pool. Laundry is easy to do in the property with washer and dryer provided.
Cap a full day with a classic film on the living room's flat-screen TV. Cable and free Wi-Fi are included, making it easy to surf the web and plan the next day's adventures.

We love to share our part of the world with you.

Went for a 5 year anniversary with my wife and stayed here for a few days before moving south to Poipu. This is a lovely place, and is very big if you came with family. They had everything you need there for the beach so you don’t even need to pack anything which was very nice. They don’t have ac, but we didn’t even really notice with the cross breeze that came through the windows. Would defiantly come back and stay at this place again.

Great location. Beautifully furnished, well equipped kitchen minus a dishwasher. Very clean inside and out. Nice view from every room. Managing office answered every call I made and answered all my questions. Thank you for welcome gifts and all the hospitality!

We enjoyed our stay in Princeville. We loved sitting outside on the balcony whale watching. At night we left the bedroom window opened and listened to the waves crashing on the shoreline - delightful!

This place is just as listed. The views are amazing! This condo is clean and comfortable. This is the best stocked Vrbo I have ever stayed in. They had more than enough towels, kitchen equipment and beach items. There is a washer and dryer, but I didn’t spend my vacation doing my towels like at some places that give you 1 set for each bathroom. Beds are comfortable and there was never a bad nights sleep with the ocean breeze and waves crashing sound. I will miss this most. Everything was in working order and clean. I would stay here again if I get back to Kauai!

We loved this condo so much. Great setting, beautiful ocean views, peaceful and relaxing. The rooms were clean and it was just the right amount of space for two adults and two kids.

The condo is in a great location and the views of the ocean are AMAZING ! We had a few problems with the door lock, some may have been our fault, just be patient and call the rental office if you can’t figure it out. In my personal opinion the condo furniture is slightly uncomfortable but I may be being picky. If you are looking for a quiet place with amazing views this is it.

This place was just as advertised. The view was amazing. The kitchen had everything we needed. The condo was spacious and comfortable. We watched the sunrise every morning from our lanai and the back yard. It was beautiful. There was a trail down to a cave below our condo, and it was so cool. I was worried about not having air conditioning, but the winds cooled the condo down and kept it comfortable. We had a small problem getting in the door initially, but I was able to call management and they answered immediately and got me a new code for the door. There is a Foodland and many restaurants within 5 minutes. I would highly recommend this condo for anyone staying in Princeville.

What a lovely, peaceful place to stay. My husband and I, and our best friends of 35+years stayed here for 3 nights, before heading to the other side of the island. We could not have asked for a better experience. Beautiful and comfortable in a quiet neighborhood. Would definitely stay here again!

Great views hands down. Good property for a comfortable stay. There is no AC or Dishwasher. During our stay there was a water main break that effected this unit with no water for 48 hrs. Communication with mgmt was effective however needed quite a few emails of persuasion for them to do the right thing else would have landed up with just sorry for the inconvenience and a home-depot 5 gallon bucket to flush toilet which was the only solution offered initially. They did move us for a night to another property at 8pm or so eventually which we had to leave before 10 am. I’d say we salvaged our vacation and eventually had a good time overall. I would recommend however be aware these were built in late 60’s early 70’s so break downs can occur or at lest did during our stay. Princeville is way up north and most activities are quite a drive which is one’s preference however something to keep in mind. Unit is well stocked and well maintained. Bbq and snorkeling equipment is available for use. IT

The view was outstanding. Watched the dawn every AM, and we’re treated to whale games almost every day. We were fortunate with the weather, so we spent a lot of time on the narrow lanai. We had been to Princeville before, so we knew we would be close to Kilauea and Hanalei. Once again, enjoyed time at the Bistro and at Bar Acuda. We visited Common Ground and Limihuli, and went on the sunset tour at the Makai Golf Course, which we highly recommend. The only sour note was that we were on a middle floor and our upstairs neighbors were extremely noisy, which we didn’t even consider in making the reservation. It is so beautiful in this location, that I’m not sure that would stop me from us from coming back.

View is amazing. No AC didn’t end up being a big deal but we were never there during the day.. Tons of stuff if you want to cook there. Pool isn’t heated and no hot tube so just go to the beach. Rainbows end right where this property is regularly so that’s nice.

Overlooking the ocean, very peaceful. We enjoyed watching for whales….with even some success! Very clean; nice decor; great stay!

The condo was beautiful and very well equipped. The view was fantastic - seemed like you could see forever. Only difficulty was that Princeville is far north and most of what we wanted to do was on the rest of the island. We spent lots of time (40 min to 90 min) to get to our tour boat, luau and Waimea Canyon. Driving back to Princeville on the twisty roads after dark was not fun. Not the condo’s fault but something travelers should know.

Amazing location, perfectly located on the North Shore. So wonderful to have a washer/dryer and full kitchen. Comfortable bed, and so relaxing falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the ocean. Loved watching the nenes in the morning from the lanai. Noise between floors can be loud, but all upstairs neighbors responded in a friendly manner when we communicated with them and they softened their steps.

I tend to hold back on the negatives and focus on the positives when comes to reviews but I have to break my rules on this one. First all, the condo was beautiful with stunning ocean views and the sound of the ocean waves were soothing, just as I had hoped for. But on second night back to the condo, my son screamed when he saw a big cockroach (some 2 inches long) in his bedroom. We were both scared to death. Since I was the only adult there, I and no one else had to kill it or we would not be able to sleep. After some frightening and unsuccessful attempts followed by a long stalemate, it finally reappeared when it crawled across to the bathroom. There I sprayed at it again with Windex and smashed it hard with a toilet brush holder. It dead at the corner. Me pale as a ghost. I didn't feel triumphant at all as now I had a dead roach on premise. I contacted the agency to ask to switch to another condo, but they could not, which understandably so due to high season. I then asked to have someone come to pick up the dead roach and clean the bathroom but I was ignored. After a third ask over the course of two days, I was told by the agency that no one would come just to pick up a dead bug. I was instantly reduced to being petty. So for the next three days, we did not use that bathroom and my son shared my bed while the image of a dead roach was never out of mind out of sight. The agency didn't offer any compensations. There were ants too in the kitchen and lots of them if you don't wipe down the sink with detergent, again not a big deal to me but maybe to some people. So if not because of the big cockroach and the unsympathetic rental agency, this would have been a fabulous stay.

This week experience was very different from our week experience on the Big Island. There, we chose a remote location on purpose almost in a jungle like setting. The property is well kept and maintained. There is a pool for convenience. You'll want to stop at Costco right at the Airport in Lihue. Foodland is really much more expensive, but it is in the community (essentially). Just be smart about what you buy at Costco and you'll do fine, even just 2 people. There are people all around all the time. We met some very nice people. We've never stayed in a condo / resort community so it was good to experience what that feels like. Mahalo.

What an amazing condo with views that can’t be beat! The location is perfect! We felt so comfortable in the condo surrounded by cute decor and tons of amenities. Thank you to the hosts!

This 2/2 condo has amazing views from both bedrooms and the family room. It is just over 1000 sq ft and gave my family of 4 ample room. The wife and I spent most of our time while at the condo on the balcony that is right at the bluff's edge and thus giving a wide view of the ocean. The condo is on the 2nd floor of a 3 level building but the parking lot is aligned with the 2nd level. This made for an easy in/out with our luggage and no steps to navigate. We spent most of our days out and about utilizing the beach chairs (3), cooler and boogie boards (2). There were ample beach towels that we washed as needed using the condo's front loading washer and dryer. As stated the condo does not have a/c, but if we used the fans, ceiling and portable, and open the windows and we were fine.

We arrived with wine and chocolates awaiting as well as Hawaiian music playing. Very comfortable and many amenities ( paper towels, tissues, baggies, detergent etc) all included. It would have been perfect if there was a dishwasher but it was not a deterrent. The view from the balcony is fabulous. The staff was always quick in responding . Love the North shore

We absolutely loved our stay here. Located in Princeville, the views of the ocean were absolutely stunning. We loved waking up with the sun and the beautiful sunsets in the evening. Very close to good shops and a short drive to Hanalei (~5 minutes), we had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay here. The unit had everything we needed -- would 100% stay here again next time!

This was our first time in Kauai and we were amazed at how wonderful the condo was. The location of Princeville was perfiect for coming and going easily from Hanalei, over to the east and southern sides of the island. The condo was nicely appointed with most kitchen items, 3 beach chairs, some snorkle equipment and beach towels. The veiw is simply amazing. You are able to sit on the balcony or even wake up and see the ocean from your bed. We loved it and would love to go back.

We loved our stay in Princeville, right on the bluff overlooking the ocean, and only minutes from some of the best beaches in Kauai. We arrived after the long flight from the mainland and found the lights on low with lovely Hawaiian music and a welcome gift including chocolates and a bottle of wine. Welcome to Hawaii! We found the condo to be clean and well-equipped in the kitchen and with beach gear including chairs, boogie boards, and a large and a medium portable cooler with reuseable ice packs in the freezer. The furnishing was just right for a Hawaiian vacation. The views from both bedrooms, living room, and lanai never got old. The grounds were immaculate with tons of flowers. Some minor issues - there is no dishwasher as stated in previous reviews; not a big deal for us. There no blinds in the 2nd bedroom so it would be hard to sleep in there since the sun comes up on that side. We had a few issues with the electronic lock but that could have been operator error, although for our stay in Poipu we were able to use that same lock system (Yale, I think) with no problems at all. Great stay; we hated to leave!

Princeville is a terrific location. We were able to relax and yet have access to most of the island and its activities. The whale watching was wonderful. Our hosts were very accommodating, and the facilities were exceptional. Thanks!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Princeville! The sunrise in the morning is beautiful; not to mention the daily whale watching (in February) and random rainbows! The property had everything we needed and we have absolutely no complaints. Highly recommend!

Can't imagine a better location. You have a perfect view of the ocean from all rooms. The interior is comfortable and it feels more like a home then a rental. We stayed here through a big storm and the ocean was spectacular. The thunder of the waves was so calming. We had everything we needed and we're already making plans to return. Highly recommended.

My girlfriend and I stayed with one other couple at this dream oaisis. Not only do you fall asleep to the crashing ocean waves, but you also wake up to a beautiful view off the lanai to the cliffs and never ending ocean. Also the place was imaculately clean with all the amenties that you would ever need. We stayed a total of 11 days at the condo and we never needed to rent any snorkel gear, boogie boards, or beach chairs because the condo offered it all. And even after a long day of hiking the Kalalau Trail, or full beach day, the place had everything you needed to shower off and even do laundry. With our trip being so active and being there so many days, the washer and dryer saved our lives. The host was so responsive and helped us with anything at a moments notice. Overall, we picked the place based upon location, fair price, and beautiful pictures. And when we got there it was even more beautiful than we expected. We hope to be priviledged enough to stay at the condo on our next Kauai'n adventure. Aloha and A hui hou

This property has lovely views but the complex and apartment are quite dated. There is no dishwasher in the apartment. Given the high nightly rate we expected to have a more updated place to stay.

Amazing view. Great location. Could update furniture/add dishwasher reduce clutter. Door entrance lock was finicky. Pool area was not great. Dark unusable after sunset and needs hottub. But still a great experience.

This property has an outstanding view. We loved the location on the north side of the island away from the hustle and bustle of the east side. The unit was clean and nicely decorated. The management team was prompt when we reported that a ceiling fan was not working. They promptly replaced the fan for a new one. The kitchen was well equiped with pots, storage containers (so often these are lacking for leftovers) dishes, and small appliances (even a blender) There were plenty of cleaning supplies for laundry and dishes. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and there was plenty of beach towels, a cooler, snorkels and beach chairs. The pool is close by and was usually empty. However, the best part of all is the view from each bedroom and living room.

My husband and I and our 2 grown kids stayed here for 4 nights in August. The location on the cliffs and the views from the bedrooms and the lanai are truly spectacular! Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the ocean was so wonderful. The condo was very clean and the kitchen well-stocked; one thing though that needs replacing is the shower curtain in the master bathroom. We really appreciated the beach umbrella and chairs which we made use of several times. I also really liked the decor - many Hawaiian touches which was great! We would definitely stay here again.

We decided to stay in a condo instead of a resort on our trip to Kauai and we were so glad we did. This place was a dream - great location, beautiful views, easy access to Hanalei and other towns, comfortable living area, great kitchen, and wonderful bed and bathrooms. We loved waking up to the sunrise every morning and falling asleep to the ocean breeze and sound of the crashing waves. Nancy and her team were easy to work with, and made sure our trip was everything we hoped. We would absolutely come back again.

The property is fantastic. So clean and the layout is great. Literally windows to the ocean through out the condo and you really do fall asleep to the sounds of waves with ocean breezes. Easy trip to local restaurants and endless outdoor activities..beaches, hiking, golf! So relaxing..a total break from the rat race! Can't wait to book and go back..

This wonderfully peaceful, spotless condo has it all: great location, comfort, amazing customer service, and views that literally go on forever. I was not ready to go home, but at least I have found myself a new escape in paradise. The Captains Quarters was absolutely perfect and our host, Billy O, went above and beyond to welcome us. I'm already missing the sounds of the waves as I fall asleep. I cannot wait to go back.

This was our first time renting a property anywhere. We have finally had enough of overcrowded resorts and decided to stay somewhere that would give us the peace and quiet we enjoy, but close enough to the many different fine dining options and entertainment of the Princeville Resorts. It worked perfectly. The pool was lovely you could hear the ocean because of the quiet and it only took us 5 minutes to walk to the beach. We used Uber at night to get to the Resort 5 minutes away for dinner,, but really we could have walked. The best part of the condo was that you could see the ocean no matter where you were. It was nice knowing we would have a guaranteed view when we arrived for our vacation. We might just rent everywhere we go from now on.


Alan & Sand F.

Very nice vacation spot! Close to restaurants, hiking paths, and golf courses!! We felt so relaxed and were able to recharge with only the sounds of the waves!! Outstanding! Will come again!

This condo was mesmerizing from every window. The vacation was amazing to explore Kauai but frankly the time I spend on the lanai at the captains quarters was pure bliss. I could see the ocean from virtually anywhere in the condo and that's what I was hoping. The place was just as the pictures depicted and clean as a whistle. I'm coming back to stay here again next time I come back to the island. I highly reccomend it.
