We had the pleasure of staying at Paul and Priscilla's beautiful two-bedroom property in Princeville, and it was absolutely perfect for our family of four, including a teenager and an adult daughter. The property was exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and included all the amenities as advertised. The kitchen was fully stocked, which made our stay very comfortable. There was ample space for everyone to relax without feeling cramped. One of the highlights of our stay were the breathtaking ocean views and the stunning surrounding area, which added a special touch to our vacation. Paul and Priscilla were outstanding hosts; their communication was clear and responsive, making our experience smooth and enjoyable. We had a wonderful time and are truly grateful to have been able to share this lovely property. Should we return to Kauai, we would definitely look to book this exact location again. Thank you, Paul and Priscilla, for making our stay memorable!

My husband and 2 teenage sons spent a few days here before Christmas and it was truly magical! The owner checked in multiple times and was very responsive. The size of this property and attention to details such as having stocked cooking staples, laundry detergent, games etc. made it feel like a home away from home. We loved staying here and hope to be back in the future!

Great View. Slept like a baby listening to the ocean waves crash throughout the night. Great place to stay for a family of four.

Beautiful place with stunning views. So close to hideaway beach and easy access to all the Princeville offerings Very large deck area where you can bbq and eat. Happy that it was December as if there may be a complaint it is lack of ac. Maybe a few more fans. Beautiful stay and will be back.

I've stayed in many different spots in the Princeville area including several in this Condo (Pua Poa). I'd have to say this is one of the best. We enjoyed the ability to walk out onto the lawn and the open patio not to mention the ability to cook and dine outside regardless of what the weather was doing. The kitchen is great for cooking, the beds comfortable and the owners are generous with beach toys and other outdoor items.

Phenomenal property nestled above the cliffs on the North Shore in Princeville. The accommodations were impeccable with everything you would need to have a fantastic time on Kauai. Communication with the property manager was fantastic and everything went even better than we hoped. They have extra gear for the beach and the view is breathtaking. We will definitely make another trip back thank you so much for having us you made my fiancé‘s birthday week special.

Nice place to stay with great view of ocean and surfers. Well equipped kitchen. Minor problems with plumbing encountered and of which property management is now aware. Lanai has great view but little privacy. Location is a fair distance (driving time) from the west side of Island. overall, a pleasant place to vacation.

This was a beautiful property and a wonderful stay! Close to everything! The best beach access was at the Westin. Beautiful quiet pool, sunrise yoga at the golf club. We had a wonderful vacation.

This unit is very large with large living area and master bedroom. 2nd bedroom is tuked away in the back. View is spectacular and the deck is great for stargazing at night. So many stars with few lights in the Northend of the island. The noise from the waves is noticable with the windows open but can be closed out. Princeville has a long walking trail that borders the golf course and there are a few restaurants and shops nearby. It was a beautiful stay.

Reviewer Comments:
We have stayed at 6 different units in the Pu’u Poa condominiums, all providing different ranges of decor and care. The top floor provides incredible views, which was a primary driver in our selection of 403. However, the inside of this unit had several indications of less than ideal care of the property. Examples are: significant staining and wear of the primary bedroom carpet (needs replacing), evidence of someone kicking in the secondary bathroom door (hole in the door), splitting of the primary bedroom door, closet doors not shutting or opening easily, and no racks on the refrigerator doors to allow storage of drink bottles, etc. The furniture was adequate and there were plenty of beach chairs and boogie boards for fun days at Hanalei. We always enjoy our stay at Pu’u Poa, but the issues cited show that this unit is not well-cared for. For ~$6000/week, we have seen units in much better condition at Pu’u Poa and would seek those out before renting 403 again, assuming the issues cited above remain.

This place was so fun! Everything we wanted. We would definitely come again. AAA+ The beach next door was magical and a great place to swim. Plus, Hanalei Bay was so close!

Our stay at Puu Poa 405 was everything we had hoped for. The unit is a little outdated and still needs a few minor repairs, but nothing that would keep us from staying at this property again. Everything we needed was on-site. The condo was very comfortable and made us feel at home. The views are breathtaking from every room and the top floor unit made us feel like we were there all alone.Thank you to Kauai Kahuna Vacations group. Your staff was first class and very responsive. The welcome texts and access to concierge service was next level.We are looking forward to booking our next vacation at Puu Poa.

Wonderful and beautiful condo. Fair warning. If u have mobility issues this location will be a challenge. Though u would think since the condo is on the ground floor which one would assume it would be easy access, but there are a ton of steps and walking to get to it after you park your car. Upon arrival, we had all our suitcases including groceries from Costco. My husband who has a bad back and hips had a very challenging time. I seriously thought he was going to pass out so if anyone in your party has mobility issues, be warned and consider looking elsewhere. Other than that, the condo was very nice. Our coffeemaker broke. We called and they immediately replaced it but it was a used one. U would think that Vacasa would afford a new one, right?

Keith was an absolutely wonderful host for our family vacation. Honestly, I'm weary to write this review because this is such a perfect experience; I don't want to let the secret out. I would 100% stay in this condo again- the location was perfect for our family, the view was incredible and the condo itself was just beautiful. I would say this is the best rental home we've ever stayed in.

Beautiful condo, beautiful views, the sound of the ocean and wind, comfortable beds, plenty of parking, quiet (most of the time), owner communicative and easy to work with.
Its hard to to find words that can describe it adequately. We absolutely loved it from the moment we arrived and will definitely plan on a repeat visit in the future.

A little background on me… There is no more discriminating guest than myself. I find the pea under every mattress and trust me when I say: there was precious little to find lacking at this property! I lived on Kauai for almost 20 years before my husband and I returned to live on the Mainland in 2014. This was our first trip back to our home island of Kauai… and what a return it was!
Communication with Anne was easy and immediate. If you are staying at this unit and can’t find what you want, you just need to ask and it will most likely be there.
Views are unparalleled. Even if you want to stay on property the entire time, you can stroll down to 3 different secluded beaches and catch rainbows and Milky Way starlit nights from your very own huge lanai!
The furnishings are very tasteful indeed, and I found myself turning over cups and checking the name brands on quite a few items (I’m looking at you, Tommy Bahama bed coverings!) to do some shopping for my own home.
We stayed 8 nights, and I would have happily spent 2 weeks had it been available.
I can assure you, it will not be another 10 years until we return again, and I look forward to staying in this unit next time as well!

Fabulous location for our 8 night stay in Princeville. Furnishing and amenites were perfect. Beach chairs and towels made our walk to the beach easy. Grilling on the lanai while watching the surfers and turtles was amazing. Comfortable beds and a well stocked kitchen for the meals that we made. We stopped at Foodland for some staples and supplies. Nice store 5 minutes from condo. Walking path to golf course was a plus. Hideaway pizza (5 minute walk) was great.Would highly recommend this location if you want to enjoy the peace and calm of this part of the island. Mahalo

We had an amazing week at this condo—it was the perfect getaway! The home clean, with comfortable beds and cozy living spaces. The views from the condo are absolutely stunning. The setting was so peaceful and quiet, with only the sound of the ocean in the background. We enjoyed spending time at the pool, playing tennis with the rackets/balls provided, and relaxing on the secluded beach just below the condo. It’s easy to want to stay around the condo, but its convenient location made it easy to explore nearby restaurants and other beautiful beaches just a short drive away. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing beach escape.

So peaceful and quiet in Princeville. The condo is very spacious and the views from the patio watching the surfers was so relaxing. The updates to this unit are wonderful, there are 2 separate spots to work if you must while on vacation like we did so that was very handy, and the bathrooms and showers are like a spa. Also loved the bar and wine beer frig came in really handy! We will be back soon!

Reviewer Comments:
The unit is in immediate need of upgrades. It is very dated and wasn't inviting. For the price we paid, we felt it wasn't stocked with a nice inviting kitchen to cook in, all the supplies were very old and the unit had a muggy and old smell. The mirrors are rusted and old in the master bathroom, and patios weren't clean. The view was beautiful however that was about all that the unit had to offer. We would definitely not stay there in that unit or recommend it to anyone. We saw the unit next door and would definitely stay there, it was very nice unit 409. Also a fan was broke and there is no AC and it was very hot. The iron ruined two of my outfits because it is so old and doesn't work and my clothes stuck and burned. Very disappointed ☹️ The property staff was very nice but misleading on the unit. I wouldn't represent a unit like this for your reputation as a property management company. Unit 410 needs a lot of work

The incredible views, comfortable furnishings and well stocked kitchen provided a fabulous setting for a wonderful vacation. After enjoying different beaches in the area we would return to relax either poolside or on the deck. The air conditioning was delightful on hot days. The owners guide and instructions about the condo, the area and restaurant suggestions were thorough and helpful. We shall return.

Everything was great as usual- the penthouse views are amazing, the condo is roomy and comfy - kitchen supplies are great and a good selection of games and books are available. The beach chairs were very much appreciated - but we couldn't find beach towels in the same place, and because they didn't look like traditional beach towels, we didn't find them for a day or so until the owner told us where to find them and what they looked like. Our only other inconvenience was difficulty with remotes and accessing cable channels. The instructions provided were inaccurate and not sufficient. We muddled our way through and mostly ended up watching Prime instead. Overall a great place to stay and we highly recommend it!

The picture is misleading; NOT remodeled, not what is shown ! older furniture, countertops unclean. Would not rent again. Needs clarification on unlit 3 flights of stairs NOT 2. Older buildings needs maintenance. No TVs in bedroom’s; one in living room points away from seating area. Broken window, bad outdoor furniture

This condo has it all. A/C, washer, dryer, and all accessories, appliances…plus, being a corner unit, there is a panoramic view of Mount Makana
(Bali Hai) out the back, and Pali Ke Kua from the kitchen and eating nook. Walking distance from 1 Hotel Hanalei, as well as Hanalei Bay Resort. Near great restaurants, and above Hideaways Beach. Wonderful location in Princeville!

Perfect accommodation for our Romantic getaway! But this fully equipt condo had plenty of room for another couple. Everything you need to feel right at home was there. Great appliances for cooking and dining in. Comfortable bedding. Updated furniture.
The views are breathtakingly beautiful, and property is located exactly where you want to be on this island. We golfed 5 rounds and snorkeled/swam. All were within walking distance. And a short drive to Hanalei Bay for calmer beach.
We will be booking another stay next year. Loved our time there!
Oh and the owners were very thoughtful in providing suggestions for dining and activities and any little questions we had. Great property owners!
