This was our second year staying here, and it continues to be the perfect spot for our family vacation with young kids. The condo was well-supplied, in a great spot, and the property management company was really easy to communicate with. We definitely hope to stay here again!

We are former locals on holoholo. The owners have a lot of sweetness we call Aloha. In communication, all was clear from the description, to check in and departure. This is a very beautiful rental. We loved the dining table and decor. The beds were really comfortable. There's a Ninja blender, Instant Pot, coffee grinder that most rentals weve been at don't furnish. It met ALL our needs. A perfect place! Mahalo Tyler and Marla.

We absolutely loved this place. It’s so close to Hanalei Bay and the neighborhood is lovely. My kids loved the pool and the sand toys and boogie boards to take to the beach. Will definitely stay here again.

This was our first stay in Princeville, we usually stay in Hanalei Bay. We liked the fact that we were close to the grocery and other stores, the farmers market, and a good area for running and walking. We had hoped beach access would be a little easier: Hideaways was a hike with rope rails down a steep trail and Pu'u Poa, off 1 Hotel property was a long walk down 75-100 cement steps. Queens bath was also walkable, but again a steep trail down and back. The drive to Hanalei Bay was 5-10 mins though, where we spent most of our beach time. Princeville does get you onto Kuhio Hwy sooner to get to various activities on the South side. The condo itself was pretty good: Quiet, with a comfortable bed, good size rooms, nice lanai for morning coffee, AC. The bedroom is on the parking lot side and altho there were blinds, they did not block out the light very well for sleeping -- I would suggest installing a rod with dark curtain. It was pretty well stocked with necessities, but I did call the manager for a (missing) cooler and she brought one to us the next day. I was surprised, with there being a glass dining room table, that there were no placemats. Also cloth napkins would be a good touch. If you walk to the end of the cart path... marvelous spot for sunsets :-) Overall, it was a good stay!

We enjoyed this beautiful condo and setting very much. It has everything you need and you can tell that much care and thought has been put into the touches of this home. we enjoyed leisurely mornings sipping coffee on the patio and evenings out by the bluff watching the sunset. We would love to stay again someday.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo itself is great. Plenty of space, better than most pullout bed, good restrooms, nice balcony(enjoyed watching some bad golf). You can easily walk to The One hotel and use any of their facilities. The queens bath is walkable and the golf course is right there. We enjoyed sunsets on the golf course a few nights and it was magical. There is no one onsite to help you if you need something. We locked ourselves out and had to wait until late in the night for a woman to drive from the east side and help us.

Property was in a great location. Interior is dated, but contains everything you need. Kitchen is fully stocked. We really appreciated the beach gear and cooler!! Washer and Dryer are a bonus. AC is not central AC, there are units in each room, they struggle a bit to keep up.

This place was beautiful! Clean and look just like the pictures. Had extra pillows and plenty of beach gear in the closets. Neighbors were friendly and helped us find some great spots for beaching and food. Pool was right across the parking lot very convenient. AC units were in each bedroom and in the main living area. Had great supplies for barbecuing and some seasonings and condiments were already there which helped a lot. Great place with definitely stay again!

Very comfortable beds, nice furniture, quiet location, well equipped kitchen. Some of the beach chairs need replaced. Did encounter several large cockroaches and a couple of small ones - but supplied spray seemed to take care of them. Could supply larger bars of soap for bathroom verses hotel size. Being a second story unit, just be prepared to carry luggage, groceries, etc. up and down stairs. Lower rating on cleanliness due to floor having sand on it and inside closets where beach items were stored. Overall this was a great place to stay - home was well taken care of.

This was the perfect place for us! Amazing view, great amenities, lovely community. Really easy to walk to some of the best beaches in Princeville, and great coffee. Barely even drove around once we got there. If you are hesitating to book this place -- don't.

This condo is in a great location to beaches, stores and hiking trails. It was very clean and well stocked. It even had beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkle gear and swim noodles. The condo is well layed out for privacy between rooms. The pool and hot tub are both very nice and clean. This was my 11th visit to the hawaiian islands and I would highly recommend staying here!

Truly an exceptional property. Our family of 7 consisted of 4 adults and 3 kids ages 13, 11, and 9 and this property fit us all very comfortably with lots of room to spread out. The views truly are unparalleled. Excellent location. Easily walkable to Hideaways and Queen’s Bath and even One Hotel Hanalei Bay for dinner and drinks. All the beach gear you need, gorgeous kitchen and eating space. Beautiful bathrooms. Immaculately clean! We would absolutely return.

Beautiful Home located in the perfect spot to enjoy the beauty of the evening sunsets, lush green golf course, walking paths available to stroll through the area. The Home is stocked well with all the necessities to cook meals at home and relax on the lanai. Easy car ride to Hanalei 10 min, close to many great snorkeling spots. Kristine was extremely responsive to all questions and concerns. Wonderful home. Will be back again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love Kauai especially Princeville and Hanalei. The unit was very clean. The property is a bit older built in 1992. However, the grounds are immaculate. The pool is very clean, and the amenities are as well. A lot of effort is put into the keeping of the grounds. We even saw an albatross outside our patio on the first day. The interior of this unit is spotless and very aesthetically pleasing. The living room is very comfortable and clean. The bedroom is well appointed and comfortable. I loved this unit and would return. I usually stay in newer properties, but this property is as good as or better than any new property I've ever rented. We own a beach house in Florida and this felt like I was at home, clean and comfortable!

A superb location with everything you could ever want for a relaxing and inspiring vacation. The condo was the best equipped of any we have ever stayed in and the host thought of everything — water toys, a shopping cart to haul groceries from Princeville Center — and the views are unparalleled. We will return!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jeff's condo. It has everything you could need in terms of kitchen supplies, beach items (including umbrellas, cooler, noodles, beach towels, etc.). It's a quick drive to Hanalei and an easy walk to One Hotel for a drink at a sunset. We will be back!

Jeffrey was great! He returned my call (and drove 5 miles out of his way to get cell phone service) to respond to a couple questions we had. He also gave us some great tips on where to go and what to do. My only suggestion would be to put safety bars in the beautiful walk in shower for us seniors! The condo was huge and very very lovely. The sunset view was magnificent!

We have stayed Emmalani court before, but not in this unit. The unit is in the first building as you drive in on the right, at the end of the walkway and located upstairs. The kitchen is well stocked with dishwashing soap, dishwashing liquid coffee maker, and any kitchen utensil that you could possibly think of. The icemaker is currently not working, but there are MANY ice trays which make packing an ice chest easy. There is also a good sized ice chest that rolls, three adult beach chairs, two child size beach chairs, a boogie board, snorkeling, equipment, children’s sand toys. The washer and dryer came in very handy, so you can pack lightly. There are also plenty of beach towels in the master bathroom closet and lots of clothes hangers. The unit is very spacious and the air conditioning units work great. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you to the owner and management team for offering and allowing us to stay in this beautiful unit.

We enjoyed our stay. The condo has had some updating in the kitchen particularly. It could ise a little more in the baths to be really stellar. When we arrived there were tons of flies in the condo. The first 24 hours we killed at least 25 flies. After that it wasn't a problem, perhaps because we used some cardboard to fix a window vent that was broken. The beds were comfortable. The location is great. We walked to Hideaways Beach each day and had some nice walks along the golf course too.
