We had a wonderful and relaxing vacation. This place was great for hanging out, the breeze, the views, & it is in a fantastic area.
Mahalo for letting us enjoy your home for a second time. 🌺

We thoroughly enjoyed our location and our view... Being over the pool had his pros and cons though in the later evenings... For the price we paid, we thought the kitchen could use a tiny upgrade for sure, but other than that we were very happy. We were easy guests doing our own laundry and treating the property like our own home... we donated three brand new boogie boards to the closet for the next many guests to use and we hope the owners can enjoy them as well. We would definitely stay again. Mahalo!

We stayed in a nice 2-bedroom unit with a view of the ocean. The only issue we had was that the cable was connected to a light switch, but the property management folks helped us fix that. Overall, it was a good stay.

Overall ok. The people upstairs threw all their junk on the porch in front of our door. The bath in the guest bath’s water turns hot and cold and makes it hard to shower.

We spent a good portion of the week talking to the management company about spotty wifi, TV not working, garbage disposal back-up, (only used it once) and several other more minor issues that could have been avoided with better, more detailed move-in instructions. Managers were friendly, but most answers were "try this", or "we will call maintenance", or "we are very sorry". We did not see a manager or maintenance person all week. My impression is that the owner does not want to spend any money so furnishings are sparce, appliances need up-dating (the side of the refrigerator and freezer racks appeared to be rusty), and the microwave above the stove does not work -so we used a smaller one located on the counter. The good news is that the place was clean and in a good Princeville location. Being situated next to and above the pool we were able to hear most of the pool conversations as well as the moans and heavy breathing from the unit below. We vacated our two week reservation after the first week and moved to a more suitable and comfortable location. No refund was offered.

This lovely two bedroom condo will not only give you lush gardens and ocean views, you have everything you need to have a fabulous time in Princeville. We had smoothies every morning with the provided blinder. All your cooking needs are available. The kitchen cupboards are looking a little tired but other than that it was perfect. The hot tub wasn’t working which was a real bummer as that was one of our ‘must haves’ when traveling but the pool was equally as good. The location took us a bit to find but once you go in and out a few times you’ll find your way....lots of turns. The walking paths are fantastic and so is the peace and quiet. Overall, we are thrilled with this condo.

Overall we were fairly satisfied with this condo unit. Nice view, comfy beds and well equipped with cookware, utensils, etc. The unit could use some updates - cabinets, paint, etc, but certainly workable. Fully equipped with beach equipment - chairs, umbrella, towels, snorkels/masks, etc.We are definitely in agreement with the previous reviews raising the issue of hot water availability in this unit. There is literally none in the master bath and with some luck you can get a few minutes of "lukewarm" out of the "guest" shower if you keep playing with the control - and hot water out of the taps is always an iffy proposition. I fully realize there can be issues with an "on-demand" hot water system and "plumbers are very hard to get to come" but I feel that for the cost of the unit it should be a courtesy to inform renters of this issue before they come. This "amenity" was very important to my wife and her sister (with much curly hair) and I heard about it daily!Also - make sure you clean up any food off the counters and out of the sink and hang the kitchen washcloth over the faucet (they love water) if you use it or you will have a bunch of tiny ants. I started leaving the under-cabinet light on thru the night and it seemed to keep them at bay.

Dishwasher did not work and would not be repaired or replaced during our 2 week stay. Toaster and microwave were broken. They did bring a new toaster and microwave. No hot pads available. Very little hot water in master shower.
We were refunded one night stay for the inconveniences.

This unit was a little older and a few things didn't work-but the guest contact person was great! Very helpful.
If you are a light sleeper, take earplugs! The roosters are beautiful however, POPULOUS & LOUD!!! Aloha!

Unit was clean well stocked and in a very nice location. We did have a few issues. 1. The dishwasher was broken when we arrived and was beeping, they finally sent someone over and they disconnected the circuit breaker to stop the beeping, which also killed some of the outlets in one of the bedrooms. 2. In the other bedroom 1/2 of one of the outlets behind the bed stopped working.

A few hiccups getting settled... 1. Dishwasher didn't work for our stay, but we were advised in advance, all good.2. Hot water in master shower has a mind of it's own & shower door is tricky.3. #H8 Pool is not the one you view from the deck, look left, it's in the bld group 8+ & place gate fob to sensor to open.4. Coffee maker is a drip.5. Circuit breaker is behind the hall picture if outlets fail.6.The contact people are WONDERFUL, HELPFUL & PROMPT!!!7. The Crazy roosters are beautiful,treasured to the island i'm sure-but this visit I felt they had multiplied beyond words! Therefore, if you have GOOD hearing or NO earplugs...FORGET SLEEPING IN!8. Finally, it's evident that native Kauaian's have become quite impatient with tourists. I get it. They have to deal with MANY rude & "impatient" visitors in their HOME - but it sure made it a little less lovely :( (I don't need people honking their horns, shaking fists & heads & screaming at me...I can get that in SF or NYC!).9. All said, it was a nice visit for me & my 92 year old Mom who just wanted to go there "1 more time!"10. Note to Mom; "PARADISE is anywhere I get to spend time with you, <3 Lindy"

Had a very relaxing and pkeasant stay at Alii Kai 2. Comfortable and roomy condo with nice view of ocean and mountains. There were a few hiccups, like the dishwasher not working but the property management quickly responded. I would recommend .both the property and properties managed by Kauai Kahuna.

The condo is in a great location to explore all that the Northshore of Kauai has to offer. Great ocean view from the lanai.Wonderful to sit on the lanai and see whales out in the distance. One of the 2 beach chairs in the closet was broken. The property manager happened to contact us to make sure everything was going well(and it was) and we mentioned the chair. Next day a brand new chair was outside the door. Great service! We would definitely stay again.

This rental was quiet and comfortable and just a very relaxing and pleasant place to stay. Enjoyed the ocean view while having our morning coffee on the balcony. Convenient to all the beaches we wanted to check out, it's only a few minutes to Hanalei, and even in the rain we had a great time there. The bed is nice, comfortable. There was always parking available. Good internet. There was some rust on things like curtain rods, which is hardly surprising in the climate and certainly didn't detract from our enjoyment. Not a thing to complain about, would stay here again for sure.

I did not like the showers you could not regulate the water it was either too hot or cold. You thought you had it right & all of the sudden it too hot. It really needs to be fixed to Be able to give a better rating.

Reviewer Comments:
(First, we are from Dayton, Ohio, not Cartin.)The location of our condo is fantastic. The furnishings, while adequate, are poorly suited to the size of the unit. In particular, one of the oversized side tables was placed behind a couch, extending into the hallway, right in the way of traffic. I severely stubbed my toe on this table, and so I moved it for the rest of our stay. The kitchen is very well supplied with cooking gear. However, the kitchen is not updated. The cabinets are old built-ins, and, the kitchen design is such that some cabinets are hard to reach. All in all, it is merely an adequate kitchen.The bathrooms are also merely adequate, with old painted cabinetry. The mirror has some flaking on the edges. The hot water in the main bathroom flowed intermittently, coming and going. This problem did not occur in the guest bathroom. We were happy to find some beach equipment in the closet, but the chairs provided were not of high quality. All in all, this unit is merely adequate, and is in need of better furnishings and a complete redesign. Also, the managers of this unit need to correct the provided literature. The WiFi password listed in both the literature given by Kauai Kahuna and in the binder in the unit is incorrect. We found the correct password in a small frame on the kitchen counter.The managers of Alii Kai also need to do better. The gas grills are ancient and need either repair or replacement. The burners are severely rusted, and I couldn’t get all the burners lit on some of the grills. Also the hot tub was working on our first night, but the heater went out, and for the remainder of our 30-day stay, we had no hot tub.In spite of the “merel6 adequate” condo, the location is great! We loved the views of the oceans and of the mountains from our lanai.None of the shortcomings of the unit affected our stay. Kauai is far too beaut

We loved sitting on the lanai and watching the sunset every evening. The lanai has 180 degree views which include the ocean and the mountains.
A couple of small critiques-
The smaller bedroom doesn't look like the pictures. The curtain rods are rusted and its difficult to move the drapes, which we did everyday.
The stove doesn't have a vent/fan.
The surface of the nonstick pans are shredded and are unhealthy to use.
