Great location at end of the road. Late July offered both sunrise and sunset views at cliff on property. Just over a mile walk to Princeville’s best like Queens Bath, Hideaways Beach, Sealodge Beach, and Anini Beach. Stocked with beach chairs and quality snorkel gear and boogie boards for group of 6. Bathrooms in need of updating. Angie very quick to reply throughout process. .

We enjoyed the island! The condo was nice. The place was stocked with a cooler, beach towels, and boogie boards to help make beach time fun. The kitchen was stocked with every cooking tool you would need. Our kids enjoyed the toads hanging out at night. The lack of air conditioning was a bit troublesome with our sleep, especially the two times that we lost power and had no fans. We did enjoy the views from outside. The trail to Turtle Cave was very treacherous so we decided against it. We did find some other really beautiful beaches that were not crowded not too far away. It was fairly quiet and the wifi was nice since we didn’t have cell service at the condo. It was a lovely vacation and the amenities helped make it nice.

Very nice area in Princeville although not fronting the ocean. Well equipped, good beds in both bedrooms. Easy contact with host, everything smooth.

We didn’t stay much on the north side we tried to go all over the island as much as possible and we got to see the beautiful beaches and scenery. But the room where perfect for us to rest after a long day of adventures.

In general the property was clean, spacious, and well equipped with new cookware. Bedding was comfortable and bedrooms were airy and open. Though the unit lacked air-conditioning, the trade winds were usually sufficient to keep cool. Local beach access signage warned of steep/dangerous descents and surf, but wide/calm beaches of Hanalei or Puu Poa beaches were a short drive away and the on-site pool made for quick cooling swims. In general, while the unit could do with some updating, we found our stay very comfortable.

The condo exceeded expectations. Great space for myself, my husband, our 16 year old son and my mom. Plenty of space to hang out in the evening, super comfortable beds. Getting up and having coffee on the lanai was the best part…hearing all the birds and looking out on lush greenery. Highly recommend.

Property is big and continent. Easy parking. Host very responsive. Very convenient kitchen. Beach chairs were great help. Only thing to make it a 5/5 is the bathrooms who need an update as it is old and had some mold.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the condo. It was bright, roomy, and clean, and we took advantage of the cooler and chairs for a trip to the beach. A few minor upgrades would make it even better (comfier bar stools and patio furniture), but we had a wonderful time and would book again in a heartbeat. Angie was responsive, helpful, and patient with me as it was my first time booking through Vrbo. It was a wonderful place to spend our vacation and we wish we were still in the beautiful paradise that is Kauai. 🌺

Our stay at this Princeville vacation home was nothing short of magical. Nestled right next to the ocean, we were greeted each morning by the soothing sound of waves and breathtaking views that could rival any postcard.
The location couldn't be more perfect – not only for its proximity to the ocean but also for its convenience to the marketplace. Everything we needed was just a stone's throw away, making it incredibly easy to stock up on essentials.
The home itself was a haven of comfort and luxury. Impeccably furnished, it seamlessly blended modern amenities with the laid-back charm of the island. The attention to detail was evident in every room, from the cozy bedrooms to the spacious living areas that offered panoramic views of the ocean. We found ourselves spending countless hours on the private patio, sipping on our morning coffee while watching the sunrise over the Pacific. Evenings were equally enchanting as we enjoyed the cool ocean breeze and the sound of the waves under a blanket of stars.
In conclusion, this Princeville vacation home is a true gem on the shores of Kauai. Whether you seek relaxation, adventure, or a bit of both, this retreat ticks all the boxes. If you're looking to create unforgettable memories in paradise, look no further – this vacation home is your answer. We can't wait to return and relive the magic of this seaside paradise

Our stay at this VRBO apartment was absolutely fantastic! We were really impressed by the thoughtful attention to detail. The apartment is stocked with everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. It's evident that the host has put a lot of effort into making this place feel like a home away from home.
It was a delightful surprise to find a variety of board games to enjoy during our downtime. This thoughtful touch added an extra layer of fun and camaraderie to our stay.
The apartment was not only well-equipped but also impeccably clean and well-maintained. The location was convenient, and the check-in/check-out process was smooth. The host's communication was excellent throughout, making me feel well taken care of.
Overall, I can't say enough good things about my experience here. I had a truly amazing time, and I highly recommend this VRBO apartment to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I'll definitely be returning in the future!

Whispering Palms is a wonderfully quiet condo with ocean views.
The two king size beds are a plus. Very comfy and cozy with a fully stocked kitchen to make any meal. Angie was easy to get in touch with through text. We had a great week and would highly recommend Whispering Palms !

Loved staying here and didn’t want to leave! Would return for sure. With so many choices, it was hard to choose. But I was very happy with the the final selection! We originally had another place picked out in Ali’i Kai 2, but when Angie’s place popped up, I grabbed the chance as she was so much better about communicating!
Ali’i Kai 1 has more private owner occupied units and is closer to the ocean. :) The only thing it lacks is a hot tub. On days it dipped into the 60s, it may have been nice. But the pool was lovely and much less used than its neighbor.
The complex is very quiet and the gardens are gorgeous. Angie’s unit was an oasis within an oasis! The colors are calming and furnishing well appointed. I don’t need the latest stainless steal appliances or granite counters, I just like a well-stocked kitchen. And Angie’s kitchen offered the best kitchenware and tools of any unit I’ve rented. The extra condiments and shampoos were helpful too. I did leave a Kauai guidebook for those interested in a book about the area.
We were treated to whales thumping their tales right across from our unit. The ocean is literally steps away. Views are even better than in the pictures. The trail down to Turtle Cove is very close too but not for the timid in rainy season as the trail is steep and slick. A bungee type rope here and there helped. An adventure!
At times we heard folks walking upstairs but the luxury of walking to the ocean right from the lanai was well worth it!

A lovely location with opportunities to stay put or travel around the northwest shores. No air conditioning and visited in winter so in summer must be quite hot. Winter breeze with fans was perfect. Tennis is at the Makai golf and tennis club. Not a lot of details from management in figuring this out. But tennis club staff were accommodating and helpful. Tennis close enough to walk or bike.

Really enjoyed the area and the ambiance of the unit. Kitchen well stocked and sunrise/sunsets beautiful. Two king beds appreciated BUT please add plush toppers as they are very firm. There was an inadequate amount of bath towels/cloths, only one kitchen towel and no dish cloths or sponges. However, we still enjoyed our stay as it included tons of hangers, lots of beach stuff including beach towels and we met lots of lovely people.

My husband and I stayed here for three weeks and found the condo to be spacious and comfortable and just as shown in the pictures. It has a mountain view at the lanai side and so many birds to see and hear. The kitchen and dining room have a nice view of the ocean between the condos on the other side. The kitchen is well equipped and we made most of our meals there. Needs a dish rack and kettle. Bedrooms both have king size beds and both bathrooms are bright. The shower has good pressure but needs some updating as the grout is black and floor is stained, same for the second bathroom.
We were unlucky to have very noisy neighbours above us. The stomping at midnight and 2 am disturbed our sleep, that part was terrible.
The directions to find the condo need a bit more detail. We arrived at midnight and drove to Princeville in the rain. We used nav to find the complex but then could not figure out how to find the unit. It was dark and there are no lights in the parking lot and none of the unit numbers are visible. Luckily another couple arrived that had stayed before so they explained and guided us to our condo.
So for future renters, when you arrive this condo is in building 1 of 4 at this address. The street address is not posted so you have to trust your nav that you are at the right place. You will have to walk right to the door before you will see the unit number and will need a flashlight if it is at night like it was for us.
We enjoyed our stay, the pool was great.

Thank you Angie for your hospitality and for your quick response to all my questions. Place is exactly as pictured, very spacious and clean and the price was right, specially during the holiday festivities. Truly appreciated the full kitchen, washer and dryer as well as the beach equipment which we used during our stay. Note: It is true about hearing people on second floor but Angie has no control who stays upstairs and some guest are louder than others. The place is surrounded by roosters, chickens, Nene's and seagulls. This is something to keep in mind for those who are light sleepers or who may have never lived in a apartments. If you have never stayed in Princeville, it is super green, rains often and tons of wildlife. Drive to poipu is about 1 hour. We went to Costco the day we arrived and made the drive North.

The property was great and in a prime Princeville location. We typically stay at The Cliffs at Princeville, but the price here was excellent! The battery died in the keypad deadbolt, so we had to use the lockbox and get the physical key out each time we went in and out, but not too big of a deal. Some things are aging in the unit, but overall it was great.

We had a wonderful experience in our condo that is tastefully decorated. The kitchen was easy to cook meals, we used the full-size washer and dryer and enjoyed the small patio. The neighborhood was so quiet. The only complaint was single-ply TP!

We had a lovely time at this property but it was very warm. Be prepared for the roosters crowing in the nite and no AC
We also had an issue with the safe. The property manager did respond quickly but failed to mention that there was a key in the unit. This could have been resolved quickly but we spent the day waiting for the maintenance man instead of heading out for the day.
We weren’t impressed.
We did love the community pool, watching the sunrise and exploring the area .
My hubby’s review:
1. No AC. I repeat. No AC. Sweat all night.
2. Renters upstairs sound like cattle about to crash through
3. You’ll be awake at 5:00 AM every day
4. Unprofessional manager
Otherwise, clean and fully equipped

This is an amazing property! There was so much space for us! The kitchen was wonderfully stocked, we cooked our own breakfast everyday. I would strongly recommend staying here as it is barely 10 minutes to Hanalei where there is so much to see and do. I'll be looking to stay here the next time I'm on the North Shore!

We had an excellent stay and enjoyed our time here very much! The apartment was fully equipped with everything (and more!) It was clean and spacious - perfect for our family including young kids. It is located in a beautiful and peaceful neighborhood.
Take into consideration that there is no AC, but the provided fans were helpful.

The place was clean and had all the amenities that you could want. The view from the porch was up at the mountians w which was a wonderful view for each morning breakfast.
We stopped at a few other buildings to find it but some kind person pointed us in the right direction.
The little shopping g center in Princeville has was. You’d need to stick up the house and “the spot” looks great for food although we weren’t able to make it.
All in all a great peaceful stay!

Great location and value. Nothing fancy, but was good for my family of 6. Only complaint was the upstairs neighbors were very loud every single night during our stay.

Just returned from a 7 night stay at the Whispering Palms. Took the family to Kauai for my son's high school graduation. We were 4 adults and a 7 month old baby, and Whispering Palms was very comfortable for us. Double bathrooms were great, and the master bedroom is isolated enough from the living room so we could hangout and watch movies without waking the baby. No A/C as with much of the island, but we stayed cool/comfortable with the ceiling and floor fans available in each room. Kitchen is well stocked with everything one would need to cook a meal. Pool is a short walk and we were thankful this unit was on the ground floor so we could wheel our stroller in/out to go to the pool with ease. Grounds are lovely and well maintained. Would definitely stay at the Whispering Palms again.

We loved our stay! Amazing location, very quiet and relaxing, the grounds are beautiful, the pool was nice. Very chill atmosphere. Wonderful stargazing and sunsets from the lanai and from the cliff lookout. The only thing I would mention was our upstairs neighbors walking around was very loud until late at night. Otherwise we loved it and would stay again!

We spent the second half of our Kauai trip in Princeville in order to be close to kayaking and hiking the Napali Coast. Being close to the Queen’s Bath was a bonus. The accommodations were perfect for the four of us. The full kitchen allowed us to prepare and eat our meals at the rental. It was tastefully decorated and very clean. We would definitely recommend it and would stay again.

We just returned from a week long stay at the condo and enjoyed it so much! We arrived in Princeville earlier than the check in time and, after messaging the owner, were allowed to check in early, which was so wonderful. The owners were helpful and communicative, and the condo had everything we needed to make it the perfect home away from home. We will definitely be making a return trip!

Amber and Angie responded quickly with any questions about the rental. Property was very clean and everything was in top working order. Very roomy open floor plan with views of the Pacific Ocean out the front door and the Namolokama Mountain and Hanalei Bay out the back door. We really enjoyed out time there and would rent again.
