Great unit, great location, no surprises.
Fantastic view. Unit is clean with excellent amenities.
This is our second time staying here, and both experiences were fantastic.

We had trouble using lockbox to enter property and called the management company for assistance. They told us they have not managed the property in 2.5 years but just thanks to their kindness, they talked me through opening the lockbox anyway. There were no instructions on how to use the tv/electronics so we ended up using our iPads. Tips on beaches etc were out of date. It’s a beautiful location, and it’s a nice comfortable condo. You can easily walk to a gorgeous beach in front of the 1Hotel resort, or take a difficult hike to another gorgeous beach closer to condo. We would definitely go back and pick a different condo in this complex, as there are many to choose from.

Our stay here was amazing. The view of the ocean and sky was so beautiful and serene. It was very clean, plenty of towels were provided, and kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need. Its just a short drive to Hanalei town. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect everything! Location, style, well stocked, wonderful fun beach below, must hike down using ropes. Worth the lil hike! Nice pool, lots of snorkel gear, ice chests, ice packs, beach towels too! Nice 15 min walk to Hanalei Bay and Happy Talk restaurant. Directly next to the new 1 hotel. Condo is peaceful and quiet! Highly recommend this condo. You will not be disappointed! Cannot wait to book it again!

The condo is perfect! The kitchen had everything, the living rooms were beautifully appointed with comfortable and stylish furniture. I can’t think of anything missing that would have enhanced our stay.
We have been going to Princeville for 30 plus years and this is by far the best condominium we have stayed in.
You will be quite happy with this choice!!!

Beautiful corner unit. Would be nice to have a king size bed in secondary bedroom when traveling with another couple or adult children. Bed was to small for two. Also better beach chairs and in need of a new larger shade umbrella for the beach. Kitchen was sufficiently stocked and we enjoyed the awesome panoramic views!

Our group had the best time staying in Lucy’s condo. Communicating with Lucy was a breeze, and we were so grateful for her accommodations. Lucy’s condo was clean, beautiful, well cared for, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The lanais had the best view, the couch was super comfortable, the bedrooms were big and roomy, and the kitchen was well equipped. This was our first time staying in the north shore and we loved it. Short drive to the cute town of Hanalei and the most beautiful beaches.! We did a lot of scuba diving and boating activities in the south, so we drove around lot, but we didn't mind the drive. My group loved seeing the island and definitely would stay at Lucy’s place again.

We have stayed at this complex, Puu Poa, on 4 different occasions. It's fantastic condo complex. Amazing views, great location, nice pool, easy parking. This particular unit has been our favorite. The location of the condo gives it a very unique view (different than the majority of the units in the complex). In my opinion it's a much prettier view. It also has a much more private feel. The unit is very clean, modern and well equipped. The pictures don't do it justice.

Just wonderful. Condo was huge and very spacious for our family of four. We cooked in a couple nights and the condo had everything we needed. Beautiful sunsets out the window and our children loved being able to play on the lawn or walk right over on the lawn to the pool. Beware - this condo is not for young children - there is a steep cliff drop off right out the door. We felt perfectly safe with our 6 and 8 yo who are good listeners and understand risk. But something to be mindful of if you have toddlers.The beds were extremely comfy, AC worked great, house is full of fans to keep air circulating, there were beach chairs and beach towels for our use and washer and dryer worked well.We are thrilled with our stay, hope to be back soon!!

The condo is beautiful with amazing scenic views. It s clean and spacious and stocked with everything you need. The only thing is that the a/c had trouble cooling the place in the heat of summer. But that was a minor inconvenience.
All in all, I’d stay here again.

The positives were the fabulous view and location. It is truly a stunning property in a perfect location to enjoy all that the north side of the island has to offer. We loved and used the beach chairs, snorkel gear and weber grill that were provided with the property. When we asked about pickle ball rackets, Lucy had them delivered to the condo, which was really nice.
The negatives were that the hot water heater is not that large and for one night a few of us had cold showers as we all showered one after another. Lucy informed us that she is in the process of installing a larger water heater but the permitting process was taking some time. For the rest of the trip, we spaced out our showers and it was fine. On our last night, we had a litle bit of a bug issue and let Lucy know and she stated that she would remediate the issue immediately.

This property is everything it says that it is and more. Excellent location. Beautiful views. Close to a variety of food and shops. Comfortable accommodations and safe quiet location. If you want to regularly visit shops or restaurants in poipu and further south this isn’t your location but you really don’t need to leave hanalei haena or princeville areas very often! Would recommend hitting walmart or Safeway before heading up as the local foodland is rather expensive in comparison. Overall would come here time and time again!

We have stayed in the Puu Poa before but this unit was perfect for us. The outside setting on the porch was so nice and the sunsets were amazing. The owner had a lot of information of his favorites in the area and we used his recommendations a lot with great success. Perfect start to our time in Hawaii. Thank You Keith!

We headed north for a few days with our two high schoolers. From the moment we walked in to that breathtaking view, everyone really enjoyed our stay at this property. The views are only highlighted by the well-kept unit itself. It is the most convenient location to walk to some of our favorite spots, Hideaways and Pu'u Poa beach. The owners gave very detailed information before we arrived, making for an easy check in and check out. Quiet and spacious, this property allowed for one of the best stays we've had in Princeville. It's now on our repeat-stay list.

Property has great views, and the grass level of the fist floor is the best.
Issues VACASA was contacted night one about no hot water, the following morning I was told to find the breaker and check it. It was not tripped and when I cycled it, it made an unsettling "BUZZ / electrical sound" that should not be heard.
So we shut it down and informed VACASA which the rep said they would send a plumber out... I informed them that I didnt think it needed a plumber. I was told on day two the plumber came out and fixed the problem... still no hot water. Once again contacted VACASA via their app with a rep that had no idea what was going on. At the end of day three no hot water contract VACASA via the app again and was informed they were working on it. Day 4 the host should up and said he was sorry for what was going on and checked the panel and said the breakers were bad and he was going to go get new ones. He also advised us to stay away from that area of the condo because of the hazard. He arrived back and switched it all about and advised that the water heater would take a couple hours to heat up. I am happy to report that night 5 we finally had hot showers.
VACASA as a management company did a poor job representing the owner of this property. VACASA said we will be receiving some type of partial refund for the issue... I guess its a wait and see.

We booked this condo for the partical A/C, but most of all for the view! And it did not disappoint. Morning coffee and evening cocktails were had on the balcony with the stunning sunset view. The condo was clean, comfy and surprisingly stocked for a rental. Loved that there were band aids, oil and vinegar, beach chairs (if needed), bug spray, etc. Really anythig you could need. We enjoyed the easy access to Hideaways for snorkeling and spent some good times at the pool. Very relazing. Our favorite island and our favorite view!

First of all, Lucy was wonderful to work with! I had never used VRBO before this trip and was a little hesitant. She was quick to help me out over the phone when I had technical difficulties accessing the email with final details. Lucy made a believer out of me. Her piece of paradise was not only as described - it was better! That is because there are no words or photographs that can accurately show how amazing and special this place is! The breathtaking views of the ocean and mountains were unrivaled. The beach below the condos was pristine and provided sun, shade, and snorkeling. By no means is the hike to Hideaway beach a stroll, however, it makes you feel like a kid again. It never got old. It was magical! If we ever make it back to Kauai, then we will definitely want to stay at Lucy's again. It was everything we had hoped for and more. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

What a fabulous stay we had at Puu Poa #111.
Keith is such a fantastic host. Apart from the very detailed instructions and info via standard channels, he left a personalized Welcome video message on the Alexa device, which we found such a lovely way of introduction! Keith also regularly checked whether things were ok during our stay.
The apartment is beautiful, clean, modern with super comfy mattresses and linen, powerful AC, plus very good appliances and utensils, as well as tons of beach gear. Views from the apartment are to die for, can’t get any better. Plus we loved the ground floor giving us access to the yard and swimming pool.
All in all we can’t recommend this place enough, go there and fall in love withe the Kauai North shore just as we did. Thanks again Keith!

Loved the luxurious indoor spaces (bedrooms, kitchen, dining space, bathrooms, living room)!
Loved the prime location! We walked down to both Hideaways and Pua Poa beaches -- just excellent beaches!
Loved quick access to grocery store in Princeville (short drive) and to the main highway for other adventures.
We loved having 2 lanai too. So cool!
What could be improved:
Some little things but could help families in the future: there were no potholders;
there was no medium sized pot for cooking (small one, and larger ones);
the 4 wooden coasters left us with puddles on them from our many glasses of ice water (stone coasters that soak up water would help / or fabric coasters) -- we just wanted anything that soaked up the water from glasses and protected the lovely wooden coffee table and dining table.
And more generally about the two lanai / patios: they were fine and simple-- we used the chairs/foot rests and the loveseat and couch and enjoyed the view. But there was a general sense of neglect in the first lanai at the entrance. For instance, one large pot on the lanai (near the grill) was broken on the bottom and just had a rusted hole, which kept leaving more bits of rust if I swept near it. Next, the shrubs and plants on this first lanai were not maintained--they all needed to be trimmed, as it looked like several months of irregular growth on the shrubs. We overlooked it, but it's odd at such an otherwise elegant home.

This condo was the perfect home in the perfect location for exploring this tropical paradise. Impeccably clean with extremely nice windows and patio doors. The balcony was amazing for watching the sunset or boats on the ocean. The private grill was great to have and was in very good condition, especially for a vacation rental. The bed was very comfortable, as was the other furniture. The high-quality snorkeling gear, beach chairs and cooler were awesome for heading down the short "trail" (it is extremely short but also extremely steep, but also with very sturdy rope-railings) to Hideaways Beach, which has some of the best snorkeling in the area, or maybe anywhere, as well as checking out some of the other great beaches in the area. The snacks they left us were a nice touch too. The kitchen was very well stocked, including with lots of pantry basics. Don't bother buying any salt, pepper, spices etc. before you go check in and see what's there already. The entire condo complex is extremely quiet and peaceful and well kept, although we never bothered trying the pool. We were warned about construction noise, but never heard or saw any construction at all, nor did we see anything that seemed like it needed renovation. The parking lot seemed freshly paved. Maybe the construction is over and the warning was outdated? Anyway, certainly no problem there. It is a very short walk to the super-luxe One Hotel, and the whole experience of having drinks and appetizers there and watching the sunset over Hanalei Bay was worth the price. A couple comments, just to be aware:
As other reviews mentioned, the water pressure is very weak. The nice-looking soaking tub is a tease. We did try it once but there is not enough hot water to fill it more than knee-high. We never ran out of hot water for showers though (due partly to the low flow, of course), and the dishwasher and washing machine worked fine, so it was not otherwise a problem. We just put the soaking tub out of our minds, used only the gigantic beautiful shower, and never thought about it the rest of our trip.
Another comment I would have is that Vacasa put out *extremely* fragrant scent-jars around the apartment. Some might actually like them, but I found them overwhelming and at least a couple of them made me nauseous. The scent was so strong and pervasive in the condo that the beach towels still smelled of it when we took them outside. Early in our stay, I put them in the spare bedroom, which we were not using, and shut the door, and it got better. So my tip for other guests is that if you are someone who is sensitive to strong perfumy smells, you might want to include a request in your reservation for Vacasa to remove the perfumes in advance of your check-in.

The condo was clean with a view of the ocean. I loved the sign "take your shoes off" before entering. We do that at home. Thank you for your incredible hospitality. It was smooth, relaxing, and wonderful vacation!
