We absolutely loved our Condo. Love Alii Kai area, amazing view, close to Turtle Cove. Recently upgraded Kitchen. The trade winds were AMAZING standing in the living room. My ONLY complaint is that we had to leave!
John was very quick to respond and assist. 11 out of 10 review!

Our stay was lovely with an amazing view of the ocean from ALL rooms. Falling asleep to the sound of ocean surf was magical as was greeting the whales and turtles every morning. If you enjoy running, wonderful running loop that sends you down a steep fire road to Anini Beach to enjoy views of ocean surf and the lighthouse. The condo had everything we needed and was very comfortable. John is awesome to work with and is very prompt; we would absolutely stay in his place again. Now we must leave and likely get an ocean surf sound machine so we can sleep as well as we did in Kauai!!😁 Mahalo!

Our favorite spot in Princeville - nothing but sea and sky from the lanai. Great space for two couples with beach equipment, two baths, comfortable living room, equipped kitchen for cooking. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

The communication from the owner was great and he left us with really helpful tips on restaurants and activities. The condo is amazing. Right on the water. Watched the surf and whales right from the lanai, living room and bedroom. Nicely equipped kitchen allowed is to make a few dinners of fresh fish from a local market. Princeville is a great location to enjoy the north shore and is a nice community for morning walks before you start your day.

Would be a 10 out of 5 if I could. John’s place is very nice and well appointed! We went during a few rainy days and the views made up for not being able to leave. Saw lots of whales from our spot. Plus the waves lull you to sleep. Don’t miss Tahiti Nui in Hanalea and Tikilniki in Princeville shopping center! Would stay here again in a heart beat!

We had a wonderful trip during our recent anniversary getaway.
Princeville is a beautiful area, and the view from this unit was absolutely beautiful. We saw dolphins and whales the first few days, and then some pretty amazing ocean swells that changed the view completely .
We had never been to Kauai and were a little worried about the weather on the North side during the winter, but all we experienced were some very light rains that didn’t last too long.
The property is great, plenty of parking, and very clean. The crosswinds kept the unit cool, which was great because I typically need AC.
We would definitely stay again!

We had a wonderful stay! The property is older and a bit outdated but was clean and had an amazing view and was a great base camp for exploring the island. Waking up and falling asleep to the sound of waves crashing was so serene. We loved being able to sit on the bench overlooking the cliffside and watch the sunset in the evenings. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were really comfortable. The property manager was very responsive to my messages and questions!

The entire stay was a memory that will never be forgotten. The condo was lovely to return to after a long day hiking, at the beach or on various tours. I would definitely stay longer than 4 days next time, too much to see and do in such a short period of time.
We only have 1 complaint and that is the tv in the bedroom is going out; the color was so dark you couldn’t see the show which then took us to falling asleep on the couch most nights. All in all that did not change our experience it was just a little glitch. We would certainly stay at the lovely condo again. It is so close to everything you need, grocery store, eateries, bakeries fun dining & fine dining.
Blessings and Mahalo

This was a wonderful unit with spectacular views and breezes keeping us comfortable. The host was very accommodating to an early check in time and was easy to communicate with. We were a party of 2 but this unit could easily accommodate 3 or 4. Our friends and family who came by were amazed with the unit and view. I highly recommend this unit.

This property is spacious and provided everything we needed. Like most VRBO properties it could use some small repairs and updtaes, but overall it was just what we needed for a comfortable few days. Washer and dryer were a great benefit as well as the snorkeling gear and beach umbrella.

This condo is in a very good location and the views are outstanding. It was very well equipped with all basic supplies. Even though it was hot, we were comfortable with ocean breezes and fans. Would highly recommend staying here.

We loved our time at this condo. We arrived after dark, but the directions were so clear and easy to follow that we had no issues finding the place.
The location is stunning, perched right at the edge of a cliff. We had wonderful sunrise views.
The north shore location was close to many wonderful attractions.
However, make sure you don’t try to get over your jet lag - it’s just easier to get used to getting up super early to see the best attractions! To park at both Tunnels Beach and Queen’s Bath, you had to arrive before 8 am. Both were worth it though. Tunnels had a great reef for snorkelling that dropped off steeply into deep waters.
I think Queen’s Bath is walking distance if the parking lot is full.
The condo was a lovely haven to return to after a busy day exploring. It was well stocked with basic spices and condiments. It also had some towels, sunscreen and after sun products.
We would definitely return to this condo.
Mahalo!

Amazing ocean views. Very cool and refreshing air coming right off the ocean that made sleeping very comfortable...no need for air conditioning during the hottest part of summer. Very clean and well appointed. Beds very comfortable. Excellent North shore location. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing stay! The place is exactly what is advertised, and better. The Sea Turtle cave nearby was so awesome! We could've hung around there and had blast the whole trip. Many places to explore. Luckily, this gem is close to many touristy places like Queen's Bath and Kalalau Trail, and both were amazing!

This house was amazing. The location is perfect. Very private and the most spectacular views. We loved listening to the waves all night and waking up to the birds. It was so relaxing the sit on the balcony and watch the sunrise. The breeze through the house is perfect and we remained at a comfortable temperature throughout our stay. It is about 13 mins from Hanalei Bay making it easy to get down to the beach. It was equipped with everything we needed. The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe. Loved it and would stay again.

Overall, it was pretty nice. The view was amazing! The place was clean and beautiful. I thought it was odd that the housekeeper left laundry in the dryer for me to put away. I was disappointed when the ice machine broke and the owner took almost 24 hours to respond to my text. It wasn’t an emergency, but he didn’t answer me very promptly which worried me if there was an emergency. I still enjoyed my stay though and those were only small annoyances.

In real estate terms, location, location, location. The views from the balcony is simply amazing. Could see whales in the distance from the balcony. The bed in the master was very comfortable, we left the windows open overnight so we could hear the waves as we went to sleep and when we woke up.
We will return to this location as many times as possible.

It would be difficult to imagine a more perfect vacation condo on Kauai. The views and proximity to the ocean are stunning from every window. The sound of waves crashing and the cool breezes 24/7 were amazing. The condo is beautifully done and very well equipped. You will want for nothing. The access to Hanalei and the Na Pali coast could not be better. The bedding in the master was superb and the furniture throughout the unit was very nice and comfortable. We are pretty discerning and widely traveled.....this is a Gold Star property.

The property is very nice. The view is wonderful. The winds and rains were abundant this week, however we just drove about 30 min. South and we found the sun. The owner was an amazing communicator and so appreciative of that. Highly recommend this place for a visit.

John’s property was awesome and came with all the necessities for the beach- towels, an umbrella, snorkels/flippers, and some play items for the kiddos. A good kitchen to make some of your meals, some basic spices were included. Body wash was provided but no shampoo or conditioner so just make sure to bring your own. :) They provided laundry detergent for a couple loads as well. A great view of the ocean and friendly neighbors. It is very close to a Foodland with some restaurants, pretty close to Hanalei Bay, and some beaches/activities. John was great and I would be happy to stay here in the future!

January 2023
Two thumbs up. Communication with John heading into the trip was good, and the condo was just as described. The master bedroom with ensuite was quite a bit bigger than the second bedroom, so grab that room if you can. Balcony was nice, and we saw whales from there the first morning which was awesome: the supplied binoculars were a nice touch as well. If you have a good set of hiking shoes or grippy sandals (not flip flops) check out the trail down to the water that starts out on the other side of the adjacent building. The pool on the property was quite small, but we were busy the whole time and didn't have a chance to even check it out so not an issue for us. Princeville Center was close, with some restaurants and shops including the grocery store with pretty much everything you might need. Our only complaint was the location of Princeville, which ended up being on the opposite end of the island from pretty much everything we were doing. But that issue was all about our planning, not the condo itself, and the rental car made traversing the island pretty easy. Hanalai Beach is actually quite close and it was the nicest beach we experienced on the island, so check that out if you have a chance. All in all I would give the condo location and amenities two thumbs up, just be aware of the location on the island before planning excursions.

I just spent two wonderful weeks at this property and cannot say enough good things about it. There were so many thoughtful amenities throughout the space. He has snorkeling equipment, beach chairs, ice chest and a boogie board to help you enjoy the beach more. The kitchen had so many things above and beyond that were incredibly helpful, like chip clips, ziplock bags, coffee filters, seasonings, mustard and mayo, and more so you aren't building a whole kitchen for just your stay. The place was very clean and bright, exactly as pictured, and it was awesome to start every morning with a coffee staring at the ocean. John was great to deal with and is easy to get in touch with. I highly recommend this place.

We arrived at the condo when it was dark so we were not able to see the view until the morning. At first light we got our first glimpse, the view from the lanai is spectacular! Every night we went to sleep with the sounds of the waves crashing below us. Every morning we had breakfast on the lanai taking in the view, so relaxing and beautiful! The only down side is the condo is an hour away from most of the activities so a two hour drive round trip. Needless to say we did a lot of driving but we got really familiar with this absolutely gorgeous island! The Condo has everything you need just bring your food and drinks! We really enjoyed outlr one week stay here. The owner Jon was easy to get ahold of and nice to talk to! If you decide to stay here you will not regret it!

The property manager was very helpful finding us last minute accommodations when our other plans changed. Very grateful. The only thing that was weird was the second bedroom had two exits to outside that were not really safe for a 3 yr old. that could possibly open the door and get out!
April 2022
Our family LOVED our time here. Beds were comfortable and the views are unbelievable. We saw whales every day we were there from the condo. You are sitting nearly on top of turtles cove, which is absolutely amazing. (Amazing when the trail isn’t wet… it’s a very steep trail but our 10 year old got down there just fine when it was dry)
The condo has been planned out to accommodate nearly any need you’ll have. Beach chairs, back pack cooler (that we used daily), beach towels, Umbrellas and more. Our friends that stayed at the Wyndham resort nearby was blown away at all of the things we had available for us to use. It really made the stay much easier and more enjoyable.
The condo doesn’t have air conditioning (which it states in the property description) so it gets a bit stuffy in there at times, but with the windows open and a nearly constant breeze it was fine.
We may have missed them, so John can correct me if I’m wrong, but we didn’t see any outdoor showers at the condo. We found that it is very easy to get sandy and muddy in Kauai. There is a little spout above at the trailhead for Turtle Cove that we used several times, but a outdoor shower would have been nice. It should be noted that nearly every beach has an outdoor shower though. Queens bath and Turtle Cove (Where we got quite muddy) didn’t have a shower, which would have been nice. Minor inconvenience though for the amazing location and views.

Princeville location was new for all of us. One couple in group was here 5 years ago but they stayed in Lihue and only visited Princeville for 1 day. Very nice condo and area is beautiful. Quiet at night and enjoyed the sound of the ocean rolling (roaring at times). No A/C but condo stayed cool. Overall, would recommend to friends and if we come again, would not hesitate to stay here again.
February 2022
This 2BR/2 bath condo was lovely, with a balcony over the ocean and views from every room. It was close to great north shore surf spots and a protected north shore snorkel beach (Anini), the famous Napali Coast wilderness trails (you need an advance permit now), and Hanalei Bay and town. The kitchen was really well appointed for us to cook every night, a cooler for our picnics, very comfortable beds, and great bathrooms. The condo was very clean and quiet, and I can't say enough about the views and the whale watching right from the deck. We hope to stay here again.

The check in was easy and the place was wonderful! Gorgeous ocean views, beds were comfortable, and well stocked with beach chairs and a cooler. Hanalei bay and the shuttle for the Kalalau trail was nearby, we walked to Queen’s Bath, the grocery store foodland was also very close and had delicious poke bowls. The area was very peaceful and would stay there again!

This is our 13th trip to Kauai and we always love the North Shore. There are only a few units in Princeville with vast ocean views from the cliff side. This is one of them. It’s almost more fun to sit on the lanai than to go to the beach. Wildlife views. Ocean breezes and calming sound. If you stay away from the ocean, it can get warm but not here with the constant ocean breezes. It’s truly paradise.
The unit was clean, well stocked, comfortable and felt very modern. The owner was great to communicate with. Exceeds expectations!!

Whether you are coming for just relaxing ocean overviews or exploring the island, this rental is a fabulous place to stay. Nested in Ali’s Kai resort in Princeville on the North Shore, you can find many things to do. The condo overlooks the ocean above the steep cliffs. The owner was very responsive to all of our needs and we had a great visit. Mahalo

We very much enjoyed our time staying here. The ocean views are amazing and the surf lulled us to sleep every night. Enjoyed coffee and breakfast at the high top table on the lanai every morning before our adventures began. This place has everything you need for a great vacation. The king bed was comfortable and we enjoyed catching up on our TV streaming shows in the evening after a full day of adventures. We appreciated the beach chairs, umbrella, backpack cooler and towels that we loaded into the car daily to visit the beautiful nearby beaches. We snorkeled at Tunnels and Anini beaches and saw lots of fish and sea turtles and even a sting ray. We used the Shaka Kauai Guide app that took us directly to the beaches and hiking spots. We enjoyed our visit to the Kilauea Lighthouse and hiking in Ha'ena State Park. We only traveled south a couple of times as most everything we wanted to do was on the northside and it was so quiet and uncrowded. John sent some helpful information ahead of time on things to do and best beaches etc. Our only complaint was that it had a musty smell for a couple of days until it was fully aired out. It just may not have been rented recently. I would suggest using some Damp Rid products in the rooms to collect the moisture in between like we do at our cabin and maybe having an air freshener plug-in when getting it ready for visitors. Other than that, it was fantastic and on our list to return to!!

John's place has a beauitful ocean view with a wonderful ocean breeze! The furnishings were different than pictured and I almost went to the upper unit based on the stairway image. It was the lower floor but Still BEAUTIFUL! None the less, the furniture was comfortable including the beds and a smart TV was perefect. The kitchen had everything we needed. John was patient and rsponsive to my questions from start to finish of my booking. My son lives on Kauai and I was apprehensive about visiting at this time but I am so glad we stayed at John's condo. We were able to walk to Queens Bath and close to the shuttle picku p for Kalalau trail. I would love to stay here again during the winter months and see whales from the deck! Thanks for sharing your place on VRBO John! It was just what we were looking for!

The condo is in a great location, quiet. The ocean and its hypnotic waves and cooling winds are right there. Very well supplied kitchen, many small touches that really made it comfortable. Bed is very comfortable. Some small inconveniences (like dead batteries in some of the remotes) but the price is reasonable and I would definitely rent again.

LOVED our stay here! What an amazing location!
Place was clean, but could use a deep cleaning, a few stray cobwebs and such, but was still satisfactory. Sliding door doesn't close tightly and may be some of the reason for a few stray cockroaches that made us jump. :) The master bath was recently remodeled and is very nice. We all agreed the carpet was weirdly uncomfortable on our bare feet. However, overall the unit was comfortable, roomy, and the location was awesome. I could actually watch the sun rise over the ocean from the bed. How heavenly is that?! Plenty of kitchen supplies to cook meals. Lots of cleaning supplies too.
It was a very comfortable space for the five of us. Our son slept on the blow up mattress in the living room and it tended to leak air overnight but wasn't enough to make him uncomfortable.
There was a medium sized cooler and reusable ice blocks in the freezer, some reusable grocery bags in the master closet, four beach chairs, umbrella, and snorkel equipment. We didn't use the snorkel equipment because we brought our own. (They hadn't been cleaned since last use) But these supplies made our stay so much nicer!!
We found the area to be very quiet. We would occasionally hear people walking by, but no noise at night except the sound of the ocean!
Take advantage of the beautiful sunrises from the lanai. REALLY! Get out of bed every morning and just sit and listen to the birds and watch the sunrise. What a gift!
My son said it was the best place he has ever stayed. We've been to a lot of places, but this was a winner. (We aren't bothered by a few cockroaches or spiders, we like nature, lol)
Great communication from the manager too. We would love to come back.

Absolutely loved this condo in Princeville. The owner has thought of everything in making his guests comfortable. The condo is beautifully decorated, the bed is comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked, and there are beach chairs, beach and rain umbrellas, a backpack cooler, and even trekking poles. I spent as much time as possible on the lanai enjoying the sight and sounds of the ocean and watching the many beautiful birds flying and singing in the lush grounds below. I’m so glad to have found this condo and hope to return soon!

We stayed for a week in this condo with a friend and our baby. It's exactly as advertised, with a spectacular ocean view and the sound of the waves. We took advantage of the snorkel gear and boogie board, and the well-stocked kitchen. The condo is in a fairly large complex, so you might hear sounds from other apartments, but the ocean provides some great white noise. A couple issues came up while we were there and John was very responsive. Highly recommended!

We stayed for 10 days over the holidays, and it was perfect. The condo was exactly as stated. We ate most of our meals in. Kitchen was well appointed. We made use of the boogie boards and the scuba equipment provided. Windows all have ocean views, but morning coffee on the lanai is the selling point.
Great location and John was easy to work with.
Would recommend highly.

The view from this place is amazing! This is a great area with a market a short distance away and we were able to explore most of what the island had to offer in easy day trips. After these trips around the island we decided that Princeville was the right choice for us.
Very nice condo and John was professional and easy to work with.

vrbo review
On our arrival we were greeted to a nicely decorated island condo with a stunning view. This great oceanfront view was shared by the kitchen/living room and both bedrooms.
The condo was spacious and supplied with a generous amount of bath towels. Small bar soaps are there but bring your shampoo along with your other normal personal bath products.
The owner was great and easy to work with. John was also generous in his allowing us some extra time coming and going. This proved helpful.
The kitchen is roomy and open to the rest of the living area,making cooking a shared experience. There is a nice bar island with stools.
We slept comfortably in this quiet environment, relaxing in island mode enjoying the north shaore.
I would recommend this condo to anyone wanting to enjoy the north shaore. The location is good and easy to find, once you get used to a couple of turns. The great view amkes it all worthwhile.
Thanks again,
Rod from NYC

This condo is in an excellent location in northern Kauai. The views from every room are gorgeous and the pictures are as advertised. The condo is well equipped with everything you'd need for your stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to friends and family. Owner was excellent to work with as well.

My partner and I spent 10 days at this lovely 2 bedroom, 2 bath rental in Princeville. The rental did not have any reviews and I was hesitant to book it but the photos and description were lovely and the price was good for Princeville. All of my expectations were met if not exceeded by this rental. The photos are an accurate depiction of the home. It was clean and cozy. Felt very spacious and was a wonderful home to return to after a day exploring the many wonderful beaches, hikes and sights on the island. I have been to all of the Hawaiian islands and the "Big Island Hawaii and Kaua'i are my faves. They are quieter, not as developed and have amazing landscapes and beaches. Kaua'i is a small island making it easy to drive to other areas to find sun, other beaches and incredible hikes. Princeville is on the north shore. A word of warning. Winter brings dangerous rip tides and ocean currents to the north shore but calmer waters in the south. The opposite is true in the summer. We were not able to swim at the north shore beaches most days but we enjoyed walking along the beach and were able to swim at Hanalei Bay every time we went there. A word of caution to families with children. There are no sandy beaches within walking distance of this rental. There are trails that go down to the ocean but they are steep and could be dangerous for young children. The shoreline is rocky and beautiful, but can be treacherous in the winter. The condos have a pool but its very small and we did not use it. We loved the location. It was quiet and close to good restaurants and shops. The unit was superior in terms of supplies compared to other rentals I have stayed in. The kitchen had an excellent supply of pots, pans, dishes, detergents, paper towels, coffee filters, etc. The bathrooms had soaps, blow dryers, plenty of towels and beach towels. There was also a good supply of beach mats and snorkel gear for guests. Both bedrooms had picture postcard views of the ocean and I still miss waking up to the sound of the surf and views. We saw whales and albatross from the balcony every day, and a seal sleeping in the turtles cave at the beach below our unit. I would recommend this unit. If you have children be prepared to drive at least 20 minutes per day to get to beaches and other "island activities".

My week long stay at this condo was just about perfect. Very comfortable, clean, great views and sound of the surf. The owner has thought of just about everything to make a stay here easy and comfortable.
Many extras as snorkel gear and water toys. Good information on island activities and nearby restaurants by the owner.

The condo, the location, and the views are all fabulous. John is an attentive and efficient manager. I doubt that there are better views of the ocean anywhere on Kawaii. I want to come back in whale-watching season; this condo ought to be the perfect place that -- lie in bed and watch for whales.

John was a great host, always on top of correspondence and thorough with necessary information. His condo has a truly spectacular cliff side location with an incredible view of the ocean. If you wake up at 6:00am you can catch the gorgeous sunrise right from the lanai (or the master bedroom while laying in bed!). The place was spacious for three adults and well kept. It's on the north of the island which is about 40 minutes from the airport and a little more than an hour to the south, so if a central location is what you're looking for, this place is not, but it's so beautifully located anyway it's worth the drive. Besides, driving along the coast of Kauai is a great thing to do! Anyway, it is convenient to the grocery store and banks and beaches so we were also just fine staying put some of the days. I highly recommend staying here and hope to again.
