Thanks for the great stay. The contact with Jeff was very kind and quick. The apartment is really nice and well equipped. We had a direct access to the garden and 2 patios plus 2 bathrooms, very convenient with the family. The pool area is also very nice. Spent quite some time there (-; Would definitely recommend and come again!!

We absolutely loved this condo the location was amazing and the front desk staff was so helpful- the pool is absolutely gorgeous just like the pictures and you can take a 5 min bike ride to one hotel or hidden beach- free bikes came in handy and there’s a flat path. We also loved the cliff view to watch sunset with lots of chairs a hammock and plenty of grills. The patio is lovely and everything was clean and we appreciated the amenities- no complaints here I can’t wait to stay here again!

Our stay at this Kauai property was nothing short of magical. Nestled in the lush greenery of Kauai's north shore, this condo exceeded all expectations. The property itself is a gem! The condo was clean and spacious. We loved that it was a ground floor end unit - the privacy allowed our kids to run around the grassy lawn by our lanai. The location was great for visiting North Shore beaches and taking day trips to the South of the Island. The amenities were unbeatable - our kids LOVED the pool, the lei making class, the putting green, and the local cats. The host communication was stellar and we had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation! Thank you!!

The Cliffs is such a cozy, friendly and beautiful resort in Princeville. Jeff’s condo was extremely clean and well-equipped for our week-long stay. The bed was very comfortable and we appreciated having a washer/dryer in the unit. We did not miss not having AC at all. We made great use of the garden patio and enjoyed all the bird visits while we were out there playing cards. The pool was beautiful, as well! Highly recommend Jeff’s condo for North Shore Kauai visits.

The ground level unit was easily accessible and had a beautiful lawn outside for the kids to run around. We all loved the pool and playground. This is a great location close to Foodland and shops as well as great beaches. Some parts of the condo are dated but that didn’t bother us. It had all we needed. The bedroom has a lot of light entering at night from outside so that could bother those who like a darkened room for sleeping. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

This stay was amazing - the perfect size of unit, in a phenomenally well-maintained property that never felt stuffy, and absolute stellar customer support from the owner. The kitchen was great for quick meals and the cross breeze and lighting of this end unit ensured comfort all day & night. We talked to other folks in other units on the property and this was was clearly the better stay! Lots of toys & supplies to take your family on the road to the beach - Hanalei is only about 10-15 minutes away, and the grocery store is 5 minutes away. We WILL stay here next time we come to Kaua'i!

This is definitely not an updated property but we were okay with that. It was clean and had a cool layout. Patios off both the bedroom and the living room area. The one off the living room has a really nice natural botanical barrier to provide privacy. The bonus....there was body boards, chairs, snorkeling stuff provided for guests. We didn't use the snorkels because its hard to know who is responsible to clean them and I wasn't sure what was okay to clean them with, so it was worth it to just rent some. You have to borrow bikes and go down to hidaway beach! Great place.

Owner charged me an extra $1400 to stay. Parking fee was an extra $15 a day, no disclosed by the owner. Interior is dated. Furniture and decor from 1960's. Needs paint and repairs. Appliances were old and rusty. Compared to other units, this place is a "ripoff". Sorry, but the truth needs to be told!

The condo has everything that we needed. The pull out couch was comfy for two teens (twins). We struggled with having enough hot water for showers, but learned to space them out.

Beautiful location away from touristy areas. Many beaches close by. Swam with tutles at Anini Beach. Driving to Waimea Canyon and hiking is an entire day though. Saw whales in the distance while sitting in chairs on the cliff on the property. Happy hour Monday was widely attended. The condo itself could use some updates but we were comfortable and enjoyed our stay.

This spacious and well-equipped condo is at a great resort with a perfect location for our adult family. When we weren't beaching at Hanalei Bay we were walking the beautiful grounds, riding bikes, playing pickleball, reading at the ocean edge or sunning by the pool. The condo interior may be a little worn for some but was clean and functional and perfect for a beach vacation. Great value here, really nice staff at the Cliffs, very helpful owner, easy check in and out... we loved it!

This property was amazing. Jim the host was very helpful and we had a very relaxing holiday over Christmas. The facilities at the Cliffs are excellent, the location is perfect to enjoy the local area and activities and it is a great base to explore Kauai from. This was a memorable trip and we would highly recommend Jim's property. It was excellent!

Great north island location. Unit is very large and bright. While clean definitely needs a top to bottom renovation to keep pace with the price point of the unit. Minor item, not an issue to have too many plates and bowls and glass oven dishes, but the kitchen could use some declutter to reduce number of each item to make it a sharp crisp kitchen. Look forward to seeing results of pending reno.

This condo was not in a rentable condition, and the posting was false advertising. Upon arrival in the evening we could not gain entry through the keypad lock because the battery needed replacement. Cliffs security was able to gain entry to let us in. There was no WiFi information in the room. Cliffs maintenance came to replace the keypad battery and set up WiFi in the morning. The condo information binder was missing its cover, was ratty and contained outdated info. The carpeting and living room rug were dirty and stained. The faux wood flooring was delaminating and coming up, the result of a water heater link some time ago. The most severely damaged area was covered by two runner rugs. The area was spongy to walk on and a tripping hazard. The drapes over one of the sliders were sagging. There was no DVD player in the living room, the batteries for the remotes for TV and DVD in the bedroom were expended. Only one spare AAA. The lighting was dim. Lamps had 3-way sockets but single wattage bulbs. A paper taped to the wall asked guests to excuse the mess as renovations were planned. Not mentioned in VRBO post. Good points: all appliances worked, fridge, full stove and microwave were recent, kitchen counter also good and recent. Cliffs staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Good location. Have pictures.

We enjoyed our stay here, and the location was good for exploring the Hanalei Bay and norther Kauai areas. None of the units in this subdivision have AC and cross ventilation can be a challenge because the unit is on the first floor - which means that windows cannot be left open all the time. There is a box fan in the unit, and it helps at night. The unit itself is well appointed by rather aged. It needs many upgrades, which the owners claim are coming. For a basic stay in Princeville, this unit is a good value. The community has nice amenities (pool, tennis, basketball courts etc.) and was family friendly (we were not with our kids, but we saw many). There were also rental Teslas at the main office and sports equipment to borrow.

This place is just perfect ! Ground corner unit was very quiet and I never missed air conditioning , the wind flows thru the unit well. They provided everything we could possibly need . It was a lovely place and I would stay here again!

This place was perfect for my mother with her knee replacement. On the end of the building and the first floor, the lanai was the perfect spot for sunrises, sunsets, wildlife watching, morning coffee, and evening drinks. It is an easy and quick trip to the shopping center for groceries, sandwiches, ice cream, and souvenirs. Jim’s place is CLEAN. The staff is friendly and super helpful. The location is great for a peaceful getaway. Definitely recommend and would stay again.

Older unit needed some minor touch ups but overall a good place to stay if you love the Hanalei area. Close to shops, restaurants and beaches. Jim was a good host and contacted us about the oven and changes to parking rules.

We stayed for 11 nights Property, grounds, amenities are all as listed We had 1 appliance issue during our stay, which Jim addressed right away The closet in condo had all things we needed for the beach The 2 fans provided kept us cool for sleeping Having laundry in the condo with 2 littles was helpful! Cliffs is a great location, our family had a wonderful time Kauai is breathtaking a great fit for young families :)

Got in at 11:00 PM. Office wasn't informed that we had to turn deadbolt after combination was entered or that we could call security. We thought we would have to sleep in our car but finally figured out how to get in at midnight. Frustrating!!

Our stay here was nice. The location is good for north shore activities. The property has beautiful cliff views of the ocean and mountains. The interior of the property is dated and worn, but was mostly clean and had lots of beach going and hiking items that were useful. No air-conditioning was a bit of an adjustment for us, but the fans really help keep it cool at night while sleeping. We would stay here again as we got a good price and were there more for the island experience than the home we stayed in.

We loved our stay at this condo. The grounds are well maintained, the pools and hot tubs are very nice, and we appreciated having the amenities of home while on vacation. (Dishwasher, washer & dryer, full size fridge & freezer, etc.) We would love to return and stay here again! Mahalo!

We were so happy to find an affordable stay in Kauai! Our family of 5 was very comfortable. This place had everything we needed. The kids used snorkels, boogie boards, etc. the area is very nice and safe. The kids loved the pool at the complex. Nice farmers and art markets around the corner. We loved staying on this side of the island. Everything was perfect. We’d definitely stay again.

Loved the North Shore location. Condo was a great size with lots of windows and sliding doors to let sunlight in. No AC but with sliding doors open, great Hawaiian breeze blowing through!

This was our tenth visit to the island of Kauai. Jim's condo has never failed us. The location is perfect, it is much larger than most of the rental condos and everything you need for either a short stay or an extended stay is supplied to you. We decided to stay for a full month in Kauai this trip. It was so nice to wake up and have coffee and breakfast on the patio. Every day we went to the different beautiful places on the island knowing the fact that we would be returning to a very clean condo. Several evenings we would walk out back on the grassy knoll and watch the set into the ocean. We are looking forward to out eleventh trip to Kauai and again plan to stay at Jim's condo at The Cliffs.

We had a great stay. Great location inside of Princeville, not too far away from Princeville main area - about 3-4 miles. Loved using the pool area for our daughter and had a fun little playground. The whole complex is really nice and the unit had everything we need including snorkel gear, chairs, and beach toys. We would love to stay here again, thank you!

Our stay was amazing and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. The place was clean and spacious for my husband and my two boys. This corner spot of The Cliffs was great, as there are two patios and some yard to let the kids enjoy and play before the beach or pool time. Would absolutely come again to this exact spot. 🤙🏼🙌

This is a great property to stay in Princeville. It is definitely a good value place. It is very well stocked for everything you need for a beach vacation. The place is a bit dated but very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

Had a few issues but they were easily resolved. Yes, the place is somewhat dated but it has everything anyone could want and the price is the best deal on the Island. We have already booked for next year Spring and Fall so think that says it all. The resort itself is top of the line …. Amazing people, great pool, tennis, pickle ball, putting green along with BBQ’s, smoking areas, rec room, daily food truck, veg. market, concierge for tours, etc. Best resort on Island. Go for it …. You won’t be sorry!

We had an excellent time! The condo is very comfortable, roomy, and bright. Loved the two bathrooms, patio garden view, cliff views, jungle path, swimming pool, tennis courts, BBQ area, mini golf, food truck/farmer’s market days, and more. The unit was a bit outdated but Hawaii charming and the location was great. I really miss being there! Highly recommend and will definitely book there for years to come!!!! Mahalo 😘🌺🌴

First of all, you can't go wrong with a stay in Princeville. The Cliffs is a well-kept community with a lot of amenities, though we really only took advantage of the pool and the Adirondacks overlooking the ocean. The condo was nice and spacious, and the posted pictures are accurate. However, we weren't really aware that the unit had no a/c, and even though there are sliding doors at the front and back of the unit, we didn't feel comfortable leaving them open while we slept since it is a ground floor unit. The ceiling fan in the bedroom is broken so it only operates on a low speed, and the 2 provided fans only helped move the air minimally. Also, as others have said, the parking lot lights are very bright in the bedroom (not a problem for us) and the unit could definitely use updating. It is very 1980s, very Golden Girls. That being said, it does have everything that you will need for your stay.

Property was clean and roomy. Perfect for my two boys and self. Everything we needed was there: kitchen, laundry, pool, small exercise room, and food trucks! Location was quiet and felt safe- close to connecting highway and beaches. Only complaint I had was what other reviewers mentioned; unit is on the bottom floor so you can’t keep doors open for the nice breeze in the evening. Additionally, the bedroom door exposes you when open to those passing by. Would be nice if there was a little more privacy. Otherwise, very comfortable and beautiful setting. Would return!

This is located at The Cliffs community in Princeville. The neighborhood is quiet, beautiful, and perfect for those looking to avoid the crowds of the Eastern and Southern shores of Kauai. The property also has additional facilities like fitness center, swimming pool, bike rentals, tennis courts, and easy access to the coastline. The unit itself is spacious and can host 3-4 adults. Comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, 2 full-size bathrooms and nice patios to unwind at the end of each day. There are options for groceries, restaurants and gas within the Princeville area itself, not more than a mile from the unit. Overall, we found this to be excellent value for money for our accommodation.

The property was clean and “as described” in the listing. The only thing I seemed to miss was that it was “ground level” which meant there were limits to keeping windows open for air flow. The decor reflects the late 80s/early 90s and in all honesty reminded me of the set of the Golden Girls (which I love so not a deal breaker!). One throng I wasn’t expecting and had to make accommodations for was how bright the bedroom was at night. Because it’s ground level, and the parking lot lights are situated as they are, a TON OF LIGHT shines into the bedroom at night. The window coverings are not room darkening (at best, light filtering) so I had to use a sleeping mask to get my body to understand it wasn’t daytime. The washer and dryer in the unit are not HE and can fit a max of 2 towels and 2 washcloths so doing laundry takes a significant amount of time. The host’s summary of what should be in the unit need to be updated. Towels, books, and the binder on what to do in Kauai were not as described in the comms sent to me. (The book was MIA, the binder EXTREMELY outdated, and towel/check-in directions outdated.) Overall, still giving the unit 4/5 stars because of the price per night. IMO, the trade offs for the price are what I described above. I would stay here again primarily based on the price.
