This condo is in the perfect location! Close to many restaurants and we had a lovely walk on the walking path along the golf course. I appreciated all the amenities this condo had. I would definitely recommend this condo and would stay again!

Aloha!
We enjoyed our 7 nights stay and were very happy. The host team was very responsive and very helpful. The property is exactly as it is described - stunning views. The check in/out was very easy and convenient.
Though the property and furnitures are old but it is well maintained. By the way, windows cannot be closed completely - but that’s not much of a problem though. During our stay, for most of the nights we were happy to keep it open to enjoy the ocean waves sound and nice breeze.
The condo had all essential stuff to enjoy our stay. It would have been good if there was a dish washer. This is not a surprise as it was already mentioned in the listing. So we planned accordingly.
We will definitely consider this condo again next time we visit Kauai and decide to stay in the north shore.
Mahalo!

The unit was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. TY for the welcome chocolates. There were only 2 beach chairs for a unit sleeping 4 The unit does not have AC(which is disclosed prior), but it gets warm and requires you to keep the windows open and get woken up by the roosters at 4 AM. My main issue was the undisclosed rule of quiet time, beginning at 9 PM. Can’t have a normal conversation on the deck, use the TV at normal volume or use the washer/dryer. If you like to go to sleep at 9, this unit is for you. The permanent neighbors are sensitive to the 9 PM rule and will share their displeasure.

Easy to check in and check out. Clean. No surprises. Right on the cliffs above the water. We listened to waves and chickens all day and night. Sat on the patio and read. Close to everything we needed to get to, but then again, it's a small island. Makes us want to buy a condo in the same facility, will definitely stay here again.

The condo was exactly as described and full of amenities for the beach! We felt very at home and spent many hours on the lanai watching the beautiful ocean. We even saw whales. It was a perfect spot to travel the north coast and also head down to the south coast for other fun excursions!

Our condo was beautiful and perfect! We saw whales from the lanai and beautiful birds. Fell asleep to sounds of the ocean. Close to great restaurants and Annini beach. The North Shore is beautiful and relaxing. Can’t wait to come back to stay.

We had a great stay. Condo listing was accurate and the place was very well equipped. Comfortable spaces and very well located for exploring the North Shore. View can’t be beat. Thanks Curt for sharing your place! For others’ information: very nice new coffee pot, takes cone filters but they have a reusable cone filter if needed. Unit has beach towels and chairs, beach gear.

Great space for my husband and I and my 23yr old daughter. Beds extremely comfortable. December temperature was perfect for a great nights sleep with no air conditioning. Kitchen was perfectly stocked! Quiet neighborhood and close enough to a Foodland and beaches.

Condo was spacious for our party of three. Clean and in a quiet neighborhood, minus the roosters. I don't believe there is any getting away from them. Newly remodeled. Plenty of parking. In December anyway. There is a lockbox & a key for the front door. I find it much more convenient to have a keyless entry. There is no air conditioning. There are plenty of fans but it gets warm in the afternoon. While super close to the ocean, the unit is not situated to catch a cross breeze. It was nice to be on the ground floor & not have to schlep luggage up stairs. We could hear the person above us but not too annoying. I would imagine, that's common in a ground floor condo. I would recommend if you are not heat sensitive.

Perfect location and space. Two comfortable bedrooms both overlooking the ocean, generous full bathrooms, nice fill kitchen with all needed equipment, tastefully decorated. I appreciated having access to beach chairs, umbrellas and snorkeling gear. The patio was incredible with breathtaking views of the ocean. So peaceful and beautiful I did not want to leave. Will definitely be back!

A well-appointed, beautifully decorated, super clean and comfortable apartment for the 4 of us, with a stunning view and sounds of the Pacific right out your back door and bedroom windows. Close to everywhere we wanted to go - Kalalau Trail, Kilauea Lighthouse, Hanalei Bay. We would stay again in a heartbeat.

This condo is spectacular in every way. Great layout, peaceful community and the views and sound of the waves crashing on shore at night would make anyone never want to leave.Absolutely fabulous host, we couldn’t get the door open (my fault) but Lucy and her husband were there in 2 minutes with beautiful lemons and a smile to greet us. Truly remarkable; can’t wait to come back!

Location of house was in a beautiful well kept community. My reason for the low rating was because you are being charged so much money for cleaning fee and the house was very DIRTY! I can go on and list everything that has I’m not one to be picky where I stay but I really felt uncomfortable and had to make the best of it.

We enjoyed our stay because how can one not in Kauai on the ocean? The condo is a nice size and the kitchen with island is nice. However, it is very sad to see such a nice condo in a truly beautiful location and with such an amazing view not be maintained.
The biggest issue is that condo was not clean.
I made the mistake of wiping up water on the floor in the master bath and the towel picked up HAIR (not ours), YELLOW stain (urine?) and dirt. It clearly had not been cleaned. The one working sink was also dirty. I ended up cleaning the entire floor and sink. The grout in the shower is very moldy and needs serious cleaning.
The floor throughout the condo needs to be cleaned.
The windows were dirty and full of bugs. The light fixtures in the entire condo are full of bugs.
The deck clearly hasn't been cleaned in a long time. Bugs are plastered on the window sills. The paint is pealing off the walls around the window in the master.
Very disgusting....The bedding, specifically the mattress pad, had not been washed in what appears to be a long time. It was yellow and dirty. The pillow cases were stained. We washed all the bedding.
Also, the bed in the second bedroom is on a metal frame and our friends said anytime they shifted the bed moved and squeaked.

Overall good place. The pool and grill area are perfect. Some of the bbq dont work well but there are 4 grills to choose from.
The kitchen is well equipped but could use a dish rack. The unit faces a deadend street but unfortunately garbage trucks use that street to park and collect garage from neighboring resorts which is really noisy during the day.

Upon our arrival, I was somewhat disappointed that first evening that the condo appeared a bit tired and shabby. By the next afternoon, my attitude adjusted and I realized that it was adequate in the ways that mattered. The bed was comfortable, the shower had good water pressure and the appliances in the kitchen worked well. It was clean, quiet and in a nice location. But it could definitely use some new paint, a carpentry refresh and a bit of modernizing in the kitchen. The attentiveness of staff before and during our visit was excellent. We’d stayed at this complex 3 yrs prior with friends, thus our decision to return to the area.

One of the best vacation rentals we have stayed in. Unit was more beautiful than the pictures and the location cannot be beat. You are close to the grocery store, food trucks, hiking, farmers markets and restaurants. Everything you hope your vacation rental will be- communicative host, extremely clean property, well stocked kitchen and a view that will keep you mesmerized. The home is so well stocked you could easily stay here a month or longer. We took Alan's advise, got some great local seafood and ate most of our meals on the deck watching the waves! So many little touches made this an excellent stay, cannot wait to be back. Thank you both!

We stayed 4 nights at this condo. Location was great. Convenient to everything. Had a nice time. Condo is outdated but the pictures depict it accurately other than the balcony. The pictures of the balcony make the balcony look much larger than it is. There is no table on the balcony and no room really to have one out here. Master bedroom had 2 double beds and second bedroom had one. Beds were very small. Not really large enough for 2 normal sized adults. There were plenty of towels placemats, hand towels, dishes and silverware. There were 2 very nice beach chairs and an umbrella to use which we enjoyed. The sliding door and screen were very difficult to open/close and the screen door really needs to be replaced. It only opened 1/4 of the way making it difficult to go through to the balcony. You were not able to open either of them with one hand. For what we were paying we could have dealt with all of this with no complaints except… on our last morning there we went to get one of the last hand towels out of the kitchen drawer and when we took it out there was a dead RAT in the bottom of the drawer. We gave it 2 stars on cleanliness because other than the rat it was very clean.

This was the best condo for 4 friends who love nature. We spent every morning and night on the lanai bird watching and taking in the gorgeous views of the mountains, tropical foliage, and ocean! Even got waterfalls the morning after it rained! Really comfy beds and everything we could ever need in the condo.
Complex is really laid back and quiet. Pool/hot tub/bbqs are great! Love how close it is to Hanalei Bay and all the greatrestaurants around the wares.

We loved everything about this property. Very clean, lots of great amenities. The host really thought of everything. Great communication and very responsive. The master bedroom bed was very comfortable, I'm pretty picky with beds and my back didn't hurt at all the entire week we were there. The grounds were beautiful and nicely manicured. Location is perfect, 15 minutes from the bay. Loved being so close to the cliffs and being able to hear the waves crashing. This condo is perfect for a family. We look forward to visiting again. .

This is a great location if you are looking for stunning views of the ocean. You can fall asleep to the sounds of the waves every night. The unit is quiet and in a low traffic area. This place was well stocked with things you will need for your stay. This one had things left over from previous stays like condiments and seasonings that you would need to cook. There was laundry stuff there to do laundry. I would stay here again.

Overall we had no issues with the unit. Everything we needed was there. While not a new unit, it was in very nice shape. There were a couple issues which the property manager quickly took care of, so all in all it was good and we would certainly return.
Unfortunately the resort hot tub was out of order for the week, but that was not a problem with the unit, just the resort. We just spent more time on the beach!.

Words and photos cannot do this property justice. We spent hours listening and watching the ocean right from the back patio, and falling asleep to the sound of the waves gave us our best nights of sleep in years. We loved hiking at both Ha'ena and Koke'e State Parks, and the Jack Harter Doors Off Helicopter Tour was phenomenal. Highly recommend the Princeville Botanical Gardens; our favorite restaurant by far was The Terrace Hanalei. We will be back!

Lovely accommodations. We felt grateful for this unit with its spectacular views! First morning directly off the balcony was a giant fat rainbow. Tropic birds flying in front of your windows. See turtles down below with your binoculars. Seemed secluded yet groceries less than 10 minutes away. We will be back!

On the plus side, the space was decent in a nice area close to Princeville. The kitchen was fairly well appointed with medium quality dishes. They really should repair the wall behind the microwave though.
They should make it clear the pool you see in the pictures is not the one you are allowed to use. The one you are able to use is actually better but we wasted time not knowing we were trying to get into the wrong area.
Our TV failed before a big game and we spent al lot of time trying to figure out what was wrong. Turns out it was Roku but we were without entertainment for most of the trip. No stereo, or ability to use DVD. Kauai is very quiet after dark.

Our stay was exactly what we hoped...chilling and enjoying Kauai. The location is beautiful with gorgeous views from 3 rooms. The balcony will be greatly missed! The only thing that might need to be replaced is the master was a bit squeaky with any little movement. The top level is perfect if you are looking for a quiet location on the property. We look forward to visiting this beautiful getaway place. The sunset off the canyon was very much enjoyed. If you want to sleep with the sounds of waves this location is perfect.

The stay was ok, the bedding (mattresses) need to be replaced as they are all old and very uncomfortable. Furniture in the living room is also wore done. Window sills in 2nd bedroom has mold on the frames.
The shower's were good, and there is plenty of towels. the place was clean overall though.
We had plenty of hot water, the dish washer did not clean the dishes as it needs to be replaced. The roosters/chickens outside the complex were so loud, had to sleep with ear plugs every night. For the amount of money it costs to rent the place, we won't go back.
They host was accommodating and let us check out later, we appreciated that very much and the host provided good information about the island also.
