Great studio style apartment for 1 or 2 folks. No A/C but the outside breeze and fans did the trick for our stay in November.

We are local residents from the other side of the island and we were thrilled with our stay at hale Kalani. We loved cooking in the kitchen, and all the amenities it was a great place to enjoy time with the family. We will be returning.

Property was clean and well stocked when we checked in on Saturday. We had an issue with a torn window screen that prevented us opening the window vents next to our bed. This caused us to sleep hot at night. We called the number on Saturday for help and heard nothing back. Called again on Sunday and left a message. We did get a call back on Sunday and were told someone would be out Monday to fix the screen. Monday no one came and we received no call telling us why. We called the help number again and left a message. We got a call back and the lady said she would have it fixed on Tuesday and she would get the guy at her office to call us back and let us know what time they’d be there. We got no call back but just happened to be there about 2PM on Tuesday when the repair guy got there and fixed the screen, Communication needs improvement as well as getting repairs done in a timely manner.
The unit was in a good location but not within the walking distance to shops as described in the writeup. We had to drive to everything. It wasn’t far but it wasn’t within walking distance. Also we could see the mountains somewhat out the lanai window but they were mostly obscured by trees.

If you need lots of room, this is your place! It's big. 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, queen Murphy bed and 2 leather sofas. The grill and large kitchen is nice for cooking your own meals, but the outdoor lighting at night is very dim. Good for ambiance but you cannot see your food on the grill at night. There's lots of outdoor spaces and seating with this unit. We found it to be very clean and well appointed with just about everything you need right off the bat, soaps, shampoos, TP, hair dryers, etc. They provide beach chairs, snorkeling gear, boogie boards, etc. Just bring your own food and drink and you're set. I must mention a few drawbacks however. There is no A/C so you will need to open up the sliding glass doors to get a breeze going. Other units and the pool are very close, so you'll hear people talking, kids at the pool, people wheeling their luggage on the paved pathways... so you don't really have a secluded feeling. The grounds are lush with beautiful plants which is nice. Roosters start their "****-a-doodle-doo's" super early, so we just laughed about it and woke up early with them. Grocery store is only a couple minutes drive away and Hanelei is about 12 minutes away with great restaurants and food trucks.

This is as good as you'd hope it would be based on the pictures. In fact the outdoor deck and living area exceeded our expectations. We had several friends over for bbq on the deck and had plenty of seating and serving area for 12 people.
This unit can be hard to find in the dark, it took us a lot of wandering until we found the lit map signs in the parking lot.

We were very satisfied and delighted with our accommodations at Tony and Judith’s condo. The layout of the space was excellent. Tony has anticipated the needs of his guests extremely well. And he is readily available if you have questions. We prepared at least two meals a day in the kitchen and found it to be well stocked with cooking utensils. As with all rental units, if possible, do bring your own chef knife. Tony offered to show us the night sky with his powerful telescopes but the weather did not cooperate. We hope to return one day for a second visit.

We had an amazing stay! We spent the first 4 nights of our honeymoon in Princeville before heading to the south side of the island. This rental was spotless clean and so cozy. They have every beach amenity you could need (chairs, umbrella, snorkel sets, bougie boards..). The owner lives in the unit downstairs and even took us one evening to see the comet in the night sky! We were able to drive very easily to all of the nearby beaches. Hanalei was a very safe beach for swimming which we loved. Can’t wait to come back!

We loved the little oasis feel to the property. The house was a great size for the 4 of us. However for spending over $1500 for 3 nights, we were disappointed when we got suited up to find the pool was closed- one of the main reasons we chose the property. To have a pool to relax at after 5 days of a friend’s wedding festivities. Then when my friends were laying down in bed, they noticed a HUGE blood stain on the bottom of the mattress above them. Disgusting and unnerving for all of us. When they contacted property management about it the next day (office hours) they were told they were aware of it but they promised it was professionally cleaned. Again, paying over $1500 for 3 nights, you would think they would be able to afford to simply replaced a blood stained mattress. Honestly think we deserve a couple hundred refunded for the inconveniences. Their fix for the problem was for the maids to come clean the sticky counters that weren’t cleaned well from the get go.
I honestly loved the stay besides the unnerving bloodstain and the pool being closed.

We had such a great experience staying here. The apartment is large and very comfortable. The porch that wraps around the apartment is incredible and it has a lot of seating. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. There was air conditioning in each of the bedrooms. There were basic salt and pepper and other spices that were very useful. Plenty of dishes and cleaning supplies. Everything was very clean. Lots of games to play and books to read. A closet full of everything you could need at the beach, although the umbrellas were mostly broken. Still, there were masks and snorkels, lots of sand toys, 2 beach chairs and a camping chair, boogie boards and even flip flops. There were nice beach towels to use and plenty of regular towels as well. The area is stunning and the grounds are so so beautiful. We loved every minute of our stay here. Plus, the grounds manager was the nicest and most helpful guy. Overall, this was a fantastic place to stay with our family.

The beds were great, which is always my biggest concern, but this place delivered. Beautiful set up with lots of indoor space and outdoor spots to chill on the veranda. Plenty of beach gear including backpack cooler, chairs, body boards and snorkeling gear. We didn’t use the pool but it looked like a great spot to relax as well. Overall A+. Property manager called me the first day due to a running fan and she was fantastic as well.

The appartment was what we expected and what was shown on the pictures. It‘s spacious, a nice neighbourhood and good facilities. Only maintance needs to be done, ceiling fan at bed room was not working but alternatives were available.
Cusions on balcony furniture needs to be reviewed. It was great that all beach equipement was available!
Over all we had a very nice time here, really loved it!

This porperty was easy to locate from the airport, and was in a great location close to food, gas, grocery store, and shopping. Even with the heat it stayed a decent temperature with windows and sliding doors open to let the breeze come through. It had everything we needed and we enjoyed our time there.

We had a wonderful stay in Princeville. Neighbors were very friendly and the spot was quiet except for a few roosters screaming morning announcements. The rental was very well equipped and clean. We appreciated the clear instructions, laundry option and beach gear. No AC but adequate ventilation and fans to make everything comfortable. Bed was nice and the porch offered a beautiful peaceful morning nook with a little view onto the golf course. Still felt private. Some noise from upstairs neighbors but nothing distracting or during odd hours.

Rick was really responsive when we had a request. He let us check in early. The humidity caused us to need to hit a laundry facility half way through because the towels don’t dry very fast. An extra big POWERFUL fan would make it a little more comfy but it did cool down enough at night to sleep with the fans provided. Overall a really great stay, especially for the price. Location is nice. Thank you for the great stay.

First of all, the property was everything as advertised and more. The hot tub was perfect and a very nice addition to the end of a long day. The outdoor patio was sectioned off and little areas that were extremely well planned. Very Zen like. The kitchen had everything we needed. The appliances worked perfectly, I would definitely stay here again. The master bedroom mattress was very soft just great. We truly enjoyed our stay. I think the Best of all the air conditioning. The place was just extremely well ventilated, with a ton of openness about it in a beautiful garden area. Of course we had our own addition to the family, the rooster is two hands who came to visit us every day. This place was really great. Easy to get to and I would definitely recommend people staying here.

Great spot to get away too. Close to beaches, stores, and parks. Good for anyone looking to get away from your busy everyday life. Was great with our 2-year old, took him down to the beach almost every day.
Just be wary of the roosters, they make noise all day and night.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The check in process was easy and understandable, which was nice. There’s pool access, and a membership card that provides a discount at the foodland down the road. There isn’t AC, and the listing accurately shows that, but there’s a fan in the VRBO that worked well to keep us cool. We really enjoyed our stay here and would stay again!

This rental was perfect for our stay on North Shore with quick access to bars and restaurants in Princeville, Hanalei, and Kilauea. It is very quiet (until the roosters crow in the morning 😁), clean and comfortable, but no A/C, so keep that fan running and open up for cross breezes. We made great use of the Foodland membership card to purchase some staples. The fridge, hot plate, and toaster oven were perfect for our cooking needs. Val is very responsive and quick to message. Our nextdoor neighbor Joy was a sweetheart and a great local contact for this rental. The pool was very comfortable and a great way to cool off. Anini Beach was easy to get to, but part of the path is a little steep and wet, so consider that in your footwear getting down there

Really enjoyed our stay. The property is very clean, well appointed, and as described. Convenient base to explore the north shore. Jason was super responsive and very nice. Only real downside is that if the people renting upstairs are inconsiderate there can be some noise. Otherwise, it wa sa great stay.

My wife and I went to Kauai for a week to celebrate our anniversary and my wife’s birthday. The condo we stayed in was perfect. It was close to numerous things and was very nice to come back to at the end of the day. We spent some time by the pool which was so clean and not many people were there. The air conditioning was a huge plus. Definitely would recommended staying here.

Just to start everything was just as advertised and I agree with 99% of the reviews that were posted on the Vrbo site. Everything we wanted to do was nearby, our hosts Joy and Les were a great help and super friendly and full of information. The kitchenette was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need and a 10 minute walk to the grocery store that had everything to be could possibly need for two weeks. This place came equipped with an umbrella, several chairs, some fins and a boogie board that were of the highest quality A quick drive to as many beach options as you want Max five minutes and if you want a good workout and don’t mind walking down a steep cliff and back up, Anini beach is 10 minute walk. If you can wait till Saturday, there are fresh produce farmers markets on every corner from Princeville to Ka’a.
A bonus is this property is only one story so there’s no one above you and the caretakers are next-door and they are very quiet overall, it’s an excellent price for what you get if there was one downfall it’s lacking a washer dryer, but we didn’t let that get us down 10 stars for us and we will definitely book this house again.

My husband and I just spent 7 days here. The host, Rick, is true to his word about wanting to create a space that is restful, well equipped, and comfortable. We cooked full meals here using the toaster oven and hot skillet, enjoyed coffee on the porch, and loved walking to the beach that was just 8 minutes away. Would highly recommend staying here - it was quiet, felt safe, and a great distance from a lot of good adventure opportunities.
Thank you for an awesome week on Kauai!

We recently stayed at this property and it was a fantastic experience! The attention to detail in the upkeep of the property was evident throughout my stay.
The location of the property was great. It’s situated close to all the essential spots—restaurants, shops, and attractions—making it convenient for exploring the area. Whether you’re looking for a quiet retreat or easy access to local highlights, this place offers the perfect balance.
The owner went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and were available to answer questions.
The only A/C in the unit is in the bedroom. It got warm in the living area in the afternoon and evening, but there are plenty of fans, and the bedroom gets nice and cold, so it wasn't a problem for us.
Overall, I highly recommend this rental property to anyone looking for a top-notch experience. It combines cleanliness, a prime location, and exceptional service for a stay that’s truly worth five stars!
