Best location - sea lodge beach is empty and beautiful. Place has large bed and washer/dryer. Easy stay for 2 nights

This place was perfect! It had everything we needed and was in the perfect location, right by the trail to our favorite beach! Highly recommended!

We had a great stay overall. Great location, safe, and lovely. Having said that, the unit itself while clean, definitely needs some attention.
We had a few issues there…bathroom window doesn’t open, front door would not open right away with code. It would sound like it opened but even trying to push hard it took several tries to open. Bedroom door doesn’t close. Hot water valve in bathroom is just a trickle and doesn’t work well. This unit really needs to be updated, repainted and refreshed…sliding doors and windows are tough to slide. Great location and property but this unit needs love to be worth the price.

I was initially a bit hesitant after reading the reviews, but most of them just sound like spoiled, whiny people, especially after staying there. This place was great! Plenty of airflow to keep it cool, and fans to add some extra oomph. Nicely appointed and comfortable, and the lamps have all been replaced recently, a big improvement over the ones in the photos. If you expect a 5 star resort, this ain't it, but if you want a clean, comfortable place to stay that won't bankrupt you, this place is perfect.

Buyer beware, this unit was a big disappointment. In need of deep cleaning and renovation. The pool is out of order “ In definitely “, it took 3 phone calls and 4 days to get a new remote for the TV ( as it wasn’t working when we arrived- yet they were aware of the issue before we checked in).Mold and dirt in entrance, patio and apt.Windows need replacing.... I was surprised at hot poor of condition the unit was in for such a high profile resort area like Princeville.

We were invited to Kauai for a wedding and was told that the wedding party would be staying in the princeville area...I was skeptical to book here with only 3 reviews at the time I was researching, but I, along with two other people, was on a budget and was willing to roll the dice since it was in the area we needed to be and everywhere else in the area that would sleep three guests were costing way way more.It’s an older condo that isn’t fancy but it did the job and we still found it charming. We were going to be out doing wedding stuff and exploring so we really didn’t mind it too much. My cousin and I shared the bed, which was VERY squeaky, and we could also hear the people above us snoring. The bathroom vanity mirror light wasn’t working, as well as the light in the closet (we would pull the cord to turn it on but it wouldn’t..we needed to reach up and twist it around to get it going). Also, when showering, the water would drain very slowly. The kitchen had an area under the sink that had a blue tarp hanging and we assumed it must have been a dishwasher at some point that got taken out but never replaced or covered with another cabinet. Also, there were lights on the side of our beds, but the one on my side didn’t work. It had wires exposed in the center..a little sketchy if a kid were to have gotten a hold of it. My friend slept on the couch. There were two pull out couches but they were both uncomfortable to sleep on when pulled out, so he just slept directly on the folded up sofa.Location was great, there were beautiful views, and parking wasn’t too bad. If you want the experience of staying in the princeville/hanalei area without breaking the bank and just need a place to rest, I would still recommend this unit. It’s not fancy, but it’s in a great location...though it is an older unit that could definitely use some updates, it was clean enough. Staff was friendly and

The unit is on the far side of the complex exposed from morning until night to direct sunlight. Without an airconditioner, it is not habitabl. I had to stay with friends during my vist it was so hot inside the apartment. I would gladly have paid extra for an air conditioner. Basically uninhabitable.

They thought of everything you will need to hit the beach and enjoy your vacation. I didn’t need anything they didn’t have especially in the kitchen which can be lacking in other rentals. It is private and relaxing, loved having the lenai to drink my coffee and a glass of wine at night. No air conditioning but they have fans and you just open all the windows for a cross breeze. First floor so if have little kids you won’t bother anyone. You are under people so if someone is staying above you it can be a little noisy.
I would stay here again.

This place was my personal dream- cozy, welcoming and practical. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the linens were comfy and clean. The kitchen was surprisingly well stocked and we had everything we needed to stay for a week.All of the negative reviews sound like they're from entitled mainlanders who were looking for things to be dissatisfied with. The building is not new construction, but the interior had clearly been recently renovated and was clean. The view from the lanai is of the beautiful forest, and just a few steps outside the front door there's a bench overlooking an incredible view of the ocean.Everything is expensive in Hawaii, which is ok if you plan for it. This property was a perfect romantic getaway for 2, and I have every intention of returning to this unit the next time I visit the island.

The pictures do not really look the same. This is old apartment. The fans dirty + the toilet handle does, and the towel hanger worked from time to time. The bathroom looks old. the tub was super narrow which made an uncomfortable bath. For the most part the apartment was ok.

We were very happy with our stay! The room was a little run-down but the price was great and the room had amazing views, TV with all the streaming subscriptions, and access to a private beach. If I come to Kauai I would defently stay here.

This property is a nice location (end of cul-de-sac, on bluff) however it is OLD and has not been updated. Water rot in lots of places, no ventilation, bathroom window does not open, no air flow. Curtains broken (obscuring view), dishwasher was coming out of cabinet, faucet not secure in counter, rusty tub, sink unlevel so did not drain.... Just really old and nasty. Aside from the laundry pods, it was not well stocked with dishes or anything else. Luckily we were only there for 3 nights (checked in late, out early), including long day at haena---so we were not there much - thankfully. For the price we paid, we were expecting a better place. VRBO had this listed as 2 adult / 2 children but you can't possibly fit 4. Dining table is so big you can't walk around it. It's the ghetto of princeville no doubt. We will not be returning here nor could we recommend this place. The property MGMT kindly reached out to check on us and offered to address some of the issues, but since our stay was short and we were mostly out and about, it wasn't worth the time. I did provide them feedback so they can work with the owner to address either the pricing or the issues!

Location is fine. Not exactly ocean view.
Kitchen needs basic items.. 1 wine glass, 3 mugs etc
It’s fine for 2 people but 4 is not comfortable. Pull out needs to be replaced, mattress is shot and frame is bent.
