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.

Everything about this unit was spot on. From the screen door on the main entry, which was wonderful for afternoon breezes and all of the equipment that was there for us to use from snorkel gear to beach chairs to umbrellas. The unit had everything & there were also a few things in the refrigerator and in the cupboards that were perfect for our stay. One Surprise that we had not anticipated Were the two couches that were recliners. We are not recliner people, but they were awesome. We found ourselves enjoying them more than we thought we would.
Overall terrific unit with everything we could possibly have needed, including glorious, sunrises, and sunsets… we will be back.

This condo is comfortable & clean, with beautiful views of the ocean and sunsets. Convenient to attractions in Kauai and many restaurants. We loved the coconut shrimp starter, especially at Happy Talk! Condo well equipped for cooking meals and Food Land grocery very close. This was our 2nd visit here and hope there will be more to come!

We’ve stayed across the bay in Haena the last 2 years and thought we’d give this place a try. We were not disappointed one bit. The condo is very adequately stocked with everything you need. The view of the coast & ocean never gets old. We will be back!!!

Love staying at Pali Ke Kua with it’s ocean views and dramatic sunset display every night. We stay at this resort every year. Unit 220 was well maintained and had everything we needed. We love renting with Oceanfront Realty. Really easy to deal with and always sending information on fun activities to do while on the Island and keeping us updated with important information. We had a wonderful vacation as always.

Beautiful well appointed unit sits on a bluff overlooking the ocean with mountain views in the distance. There is a path down to a secluded beach. Open spacious grounds are a tropical garden. We enjoyed the lovely sunsets. Unit was fully equipped with everything we needed for our two week stay and was very clean upon arrival. Management company was responsive to any issue we had. Would not hesitate to rent this condo again should we be fortunate enough to return!

This condo is probably the best at PKK in terms of location. The view is spectacular, and it's in a building with only 4 units. Everything was as described, and the property managers are very professional and responsive. 5 stars!

Reviewer Comments:
This unit in Pali Ke Kua is a on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The condo is well-equipped with supplies so that we did not need to purchase paper products nor laundry soap. As noted in other reviews, it is in need of updating, especially carpet/flooring. Please note that the condo was extremely warm and humid. The air conditioning unit in the master bedroom was adequate for that space only. The rest of the condo during the day was very uncomfortable. The loft was not usable at all for that reason. Oceanfront Realty International, Inc. was responsive and very professional. As you plan your visit, please note that restaurants are not as plentiful as on the South Shore.

Accommodations were adequate as everything except tv are very dated. The location is exceptional and there are other great looking units on the property. Biggest flaw is no bbq allowed in unit. There are 2 bbq’ a mile away almost impossible to use as it is at bottom of the steep hill.

Reviewer Comments:
Pali Ke Kua 220 is the perfect perch for a North Shore stay on beautiful Kauai -- especially if you want the ideal sunset view, looking out to Makana. We've traveled to Kauai more than 10 times and this was one of our favorite places. The bad thing about it is that the view and the sound of the ocean below and the birds all around can be seductive. You could easily be lured into just hanging out on the balcony and letting it all wash over you. There's easy access to the beach below and the unit itself was quite comfortable, with everything we needed. Parking is easy. Close to restaurants and shopping in Princeville. Quick drive to Kilauea, Anini, or Hanalei.

Broken:
-window by front door missing glass slats which were stacked by the entry wall outside; very obvious and should have been repaired prior to check-in
-locked out as one of the two front door locks failed; took an hour to repair
-front door screen requires pegs to stay in--they were missing
Hot:
-no breeze off the ocean, temperatures inside 5-10 degrees hotter than outside, only ac in main bedroom
-front door had to be left open, screen held in with toothpicks as pegs were missing, but still did not create airflow through condo
-two of the three fans provided did not work well
-heat rises so the upstairs bedroom was stifling
-could not be in the condo during the day due to heat
Nice view:
-on the ocean, with afternoon sun
-area behind the back patio gets crowded at sunset, used as a path throughout the day

Reviewer Comments:
Over the past 20 years we have rented this condo about 15 times and have very happy memories of it. We probably won't rent it again. The sliding glass door and kitchen windows that look out onto a spectacular view of the ocean were dirty. We even tried wiping them down to no avail. There was a big tear at the bottom of the balcony screen door. And the bedroom fan creaked so loudly that we didn't use it when we slept. But other than the windows the interior was clean. For that reason I'll give it five starts for cleanliness. With clean windows this place would be near perfect.

We loved this condo!!! The ocean views are even better than the pictures - great sunsets every night, turtles swimming down below each morning, paved path down to Hideaways beach snorkeling (some of the best we had on the island). The furniture was comfy for relaxing after a day's adventures. We cooked several meals and found everything we needed in the kitchen, including salt/pepper and olive oil which was nice not to have to buy. The beach chairs and cooler were a much appreciated touch! Having a washer/dryer in the unit was so convenient. The pool was nice and the hot tub was actually hot! Pizza from the restaurant on site was good. It was hard to leave Pali Ke Kua. We hope to stay here again!

Reviewer Comments:
This unit, 220, has been our go-to condo for approx 20 years. The mirror 'wall'was dirty and streaked. The window looking from the kitchen table toward the lanai is totally degraded and can't be seen through. The cream color cushions on the great room furniture are dirty and sad looking....not nearly as attractive as other units furniture. There is not ONE chaise lounge or comfortable chair to sit on while on the lanai. Just hard wood chairs without cushions! Totally unacceptable that clients have not one place to relax on the lanai...hard chairs w/o cushions certainly won't do it!The ceiling of the lanai is covered with ugly mold and is a detriment to eating on the lanai. It's dangerous and sickening. Over all the unit is in need of a total refurbishing. That includes the carpet and the handrail which is filthy. At this price point the unit should be a real joy, but it's degraded. The main attraction to 220 is the view, of course. On the unit itself: someone needs to step up. It's way past time to refurbish the unit. First thing is to eradicate the mold on the lanai ceiling. It's huge and spreading. I have photos if you would like them.

Our stay at Pali Ke Kua unit 220 could not have been better. The place was perfectly located and might have the best ocean view in all of Kauai. The unit was clean and comfortable and was everything we had hoped for. The beach in front of the unit is private and great for snorkeling. We snorkeled with turtles and also saw many colorful tropical fish, eels, and even an octopus. The access to the beach is down a concrete path roughly 100 yards long and is very steep in spots. The path could be difficult for some people, but we had no trouble at all. We were able to see the entire island during our visit and would highly recommend making the 1 hour and 50 minute drive to Waimea Canyon. Our only negative experience during our stay was getting to Hanalei. A landslide near Hanalei caused a long stretch of road to be one lane only, which caused traffic to back up badly. The normal 5 minute drive could sometimes take an hour. However, this will be fixed soon and shouldn't be a problem for future visitors. I highly recommend this unit.

We absolutely loved our stay at Pali Ke Kua. The surf roars in your ears, it's everything we wanted. Both sunrises & sunsets were spectacular and we watched every one!! The condo is sparkling clean and comes with plenty of towels, snorkeling gear & even fins. There is a paved path to Hideaways beach (one of our absolute favorites) and Queen's Bath is also within walking distance. The team at Oceanfront was very responsive to everything I asked - a few little things came up since the property had been shut down so long due to COVID but they were very helpful in getting them resolved. They also have an app that gives you a lot of cool ideas for things to do. Would stay here again tomorrow!!

We’ve been to Kauai many times and stayed in some of the most exclusive resorts. None of them had the thrill of staying 10 yards from the ocean with a mesmerizing view of Hanalei bay. The condo was very nice with everything needed for a lovely stay. The only issues; no air-conditioning and we couldn’t get the TV to work. We were there in Jan. and with open windows we didn’t need the A/C.
