Beautiful view and loved being right next to the hidden little beach!

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!

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!

We had an absolute fantastic time in Princeville. We have stayed at multiple properties at Puu poa and this is one of the nicest. We had a few minor issues that happened at no fault to the owners and lucy handled them immediately. She was always available to answer a question and always friendly! The property was clean and the furnishings were very comfortable. They provided everything we needed. My entire family highly recommends this property and cannot wait to come back!

Overall, our stay was good at this condo. YOU CANNOT beat the stunning views from every window. They were truly unbelievable. The condo was clean and a nice layout.
The PROBLEM was that it only had ONE mini split air conditioner. It couldn't keep up with the heat that was generated from the large floor to ceiling windows. One of the sitting rooms is like an atrium (has a glass roof), so the heat generating in that area was a lot! The air conditioner ran the entire time and blew cool air, but there was not adjusting it because it had an error code. We notified Vacasa and they were going to send someone out to look at it, but we decided we would deal with it because we didn't want it to get worse if they couldn't fix it right away. You knew this was a normal problem because they had three large fans to use in the rooms to help circulate the air. If we had someone staying in the back room, they would have been very hot. We made do with closing up the condo ( shades down, closing off rooms, etc.) during the day so the heat was more manageable. It did get better later at night and first thing in the morning.
Again, I gave 4 stars because of the incredible views and location of the condo. We loved being near the places we wanted to explore in the Princeville area.
It would get ONE STAR for comfort because of the air conditioning. We were there in September and the weather was beautiful. If being cool after a day at the beach is important to you, this may not be the place for you.

The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. The management company was extremely helpful in providing links for things to see and do. We will stay here again!

Maybe the most well-appointed place we’ve stayed on the islands, and this was our 9th time. Beds were very comfortable, bathrooms clean and shiny, great WIFI, multiple TV’s, well-functioning A/C, and plenty of beach supplies including chairs, boogie boards, and towels. Every kitchen gadget you can imagine was supplied, and the washer/dryer were so helpful. There were plenty of spices and cooking oils on hand so check every drawer and cupboard before you go to the grocery store. Parking was super convenient. The view.. oh, the view… outstanding.
The only negative is that the front doors are very thin so you can hear neighbors rolling their luggage and going in and out. Also, you can hear people moving chairs and walking around on the floor above. There’s nothing anyone can do about it, and it really didn’t bother us. 97% of the time it’s really quiet. Even the small amount of noise from neighbors was brief.
Love that there was pickleball equipment provided.

From the moment we chose this property, we never regretting our decision for a moment. First off, the communication with the host (Keith) was helpful and timely. One gets the definite impression that he wants you to not only enjoy his property, but also your time in Hawaii. The information he provided ahead of time (the Carlson Guide for example) was invaluable and more complete than that shared by any host I've ever dealt with in past rentals.
The property itself is lovely and comfortable. Sitting out on the lanai in the morning with a cup of coffee and being greeting with a rainbow over the ocean was a special treat. The kitchen has everything you could want in terms of preparing meals. It's one of the most thoroughly equipped kitchens in a rental property I've ever experienced. The bedding was really comfortable, and the location is great for exploring the northern part of the island. For those wishing to venture to the beach, the unit is well-equipped for a day of snorkeling or riding the waves on a boogie board, though we didn't take advantage of it. Having a chance to grill out on the lanai was fantastic. Oh, and the pool on the property was so refreshing! The scenery from the property is spectacular.
Loved having a grocery store a short distance from the unit. The store is well stocked, though like everything on Kauai, you'll experience sticker shock at the cost of groceries.
We had a wonderful time and would not hesitate to recommend this property.

We totally loved the condo, and it was in a perfect location. We watched the sunset nightly over Hanalei Bay nightly from the lanai. We were steps from One Hotel with beautiful grounds, food and views. The condo was immaculate, spacious and well-appointed with everything we needed. The owner provided a wealth of information before we arrived. We couldn’t recommend this place more highly!

Perfect space with the most incredible views. As the far ground floor corner unit, the sunsets are unreal. Added bonus the beach below the complex is one of the best on island and I go to Kauai often! It’s a ten minute walk to the 1 hotel which has amazing views and food. I will be back!

This was such a beautiful location with stunning views!
Our family really appreciated having a space in such a beautiful location. The photos on this listing are beautiful but still don’t quite capture how beautiful it was here. Binoculars are available for use and we enjoyed watching the sea turtles.
We did cook a good portion of our meals here and everything you could need was in the kitchen. This made being on vacation with littles more manageable.
Also, within walking distance is a hidden beach that was perfect for snorkeling and playing in the water. If you don’t mind a pretty steep climb down and back up, I highly recommend!
I do want to add this is within walking distance to
1 Hotel Hanalei Bay which is a world-class wellness resort. We visited their coffee shop several times and had we planned better, would have loved to get on their schedule for a facial and massages.
This location is such a gem! Northern Kauai is the most beautiful part of the island in my opinion. If you do helicopter tours and go on a tour of the Na Pali coast, you will have around an hour of a drive but it’s still worth it!

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.

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!

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.
