Had a very nice stay at the property. The unit definitely needs some upgrades but it was very clean and comfortable. The grounds are well maintained and the staff is very nice.

This property was perfect for our first trip to Hawaii. Great location, amazing view, super comfortable condo, and the owner and property managers were so easy to deal with.
We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Nice place and quiet with very nice apartment, everything you need there, with wonderful balcony on the backside where we could have dinner each night. The staff were very helpful. Pool area was great and nice welcoming snack. The gym is not a gym but just a little fitness room with two treadmills, one elliptical and a sit bike and some dumbbells. If you need good gym with pull up bar and a bit more area you may go 10-15 min to the outdoor fitness area free to use on pipelani loop close to Princeville center.

Thanks for the great stay.
The contact with Jeff was very kind and quick.
The apartment is really nice and well equipped.
We had a direct access to the garden and 2 patios plus 2 bathrooms, very convenient with the family.
The pool area is also very nice. Spent quite some time there (-;
Would definitely recommend and come again!!

We loved this stay! There was everything needed for the beach, comfortable furniture, and plenty in the kitchen.
The check in was a bit frustrating as the property employees gave us a key scanner when they door was a lock. However, this is no fault of owner, but a future aware for other renters.
The location was beautiful.

This place is phenomenal! The apartment is beautifully decorated and very pleasant; the resort grounds are stunning, with beautiful garden, pavilion for cooking and quiet swimming pools. Above all is the location by the sea and wonderful sandy beach. Helen and Barry are wonderful hosts, going above and beyond to maximize our stay. We particularly appreciated their kind offer for a late check-out so we could take advantage of our last day before flying out. The pavilion and nearby BBQs make the place perfect for dinner all fresco. We will definitely come back.

It’s a lovely upstairs condo, well thought out, comfortable and well stocked. Communication with owners was positive and seamless. Our only complaint was the listing indicating the property was air conditioned. There is one fairly weak portable unit in the master BR. It kept that one bedroom cool but the rest of the unit was very warm (80+) the entire time we were there. We notified the owners who said we should rely on the “cool trade breezes” to cool down. With open windows, fans on full, we couldn’t get the place much under 80, even at night. I hate being negative, but this was not a very comfortable stay for us…

Community was perfect, pools incredible, loved the food trucks!
Condo was wonderful for our family size. Views were amazing! Ac would have been the only thing that would have made the condo perfect. Rooms were hot and stuffy at night. Some doors did not lock at all as well. For a main level condo, made us concerned about security.

This is a lovely, spacious condo with great amenities, located very close to the pool and sport courts. We loved the comfortable beds, overhead fans, relaxing lanais, and nice kitchen. The unit came with four beach chairs, a variety of coolers/bags, and an umbrella (very much appreciated until we realized it was broken).
The kitchen is fully stocked in terms of dishware and cooking utensils, but there are only a few pantry items (some spices) and nothing refrigerated (butter, etc.).
The Cliffs is overall a great complex. The pool is wonderful (we went several times a day!) and the sport courts offer lots to do. But note that the bikes are pretty run-down and there are only five available for the entire complex. This unit is not directly overlooking the Cliffs, but it's a short walk to the northernmost edge where there are beautiful lawns and chairs for watching sunsets.
Kauai is a loud place, owing to the constant crowing of wild roosters. The humidity requires open doors and windows all night. And there are a few extra noises in this unit. So all in all, this is not a place to come if you require complete quiet. Earplugs and/or sleep headphones are a must.
Check-in/out requires the additional step of picking up keys at the property management's office in Lihue and then also checking in at the Cliffs for pool keys and parking permit. The parking costs $15 a day, which was a significant expense that was not mentioned anywhere in the property listing or check-in materials.

My kids and I had a wonderful stay at the place. It was perfect for two teens to have their own studio and for me to have my own. It had everything we needed in the kitchen to make meals, two lanais with nice views of beautiful lush plants outside, a gorgeous pool, hottub for adults only, and everything needed to make for a wonderful visit! The staff was helpful and pleasant.Mahalo!

This was such a fabulous property. Breathtaking views in the perfect location on the north side. The entire community was beautiful and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. The host was quick to respond and provided so many helpful insights to the best beaches, places to park, and where to eat that were spot on. Providing beach equipment was a huge plus as well. This property did not disappoint and we can’t wait to get back.

The room has breathtaking views. I would stay here again in a heart beat and looking forward to our take trip. Already looking at dates for next year. This place provided chairs for beach umbrella. Hotel like shampoo and lotions individual which was so nice. Not a huge family style was brought piece of mine of use else has used this? Gave sponge and dish soap. Laundry soap. Was super clean. Wish i could give 10 stars. Lovely and such a Aloha feel. Ocean view, garden and mountain view. Spent mornings on lanai with coffee watching sunrises and dinners watching sunsets. Took lei making class! 100% you will enjoy this place.

Stayed here prior to Covid and loved this unit. Condo is perfect for our family of 4. Nice location,views,and amenities. Didn’t think it could get any better, to our surprise the condo has been refreshed and it’s very tasteful with cool blue hues and island decor. Not sure if it’s the owners or KVR but the toilet paper, paper towels and extra soap (dish, laundry and bath) was much appreciated for our 12 night stay. The spices in the kitchen came in handy for those few dinners prepared- we were sure to replace and left our boys 2 boogie boards for other kids to enjoy. Already planning our 3rd return visit at 5301.Thank you to the owners for sharing this beautiful island retreat and to Kauai Vacation Rentals.

We absolutely loved this condo the location was amazing and the front desk staff was so helpful- the pool is absolutely gorgeous just like the pictures and you can take a 5 min bike ride to one hotel or hidden beach- free bikes came in handy and there’s a flat path. We also loved the cliff view to watch sunset with lots of chairs a hammock and plenty of grills. The patio is lovely and everything was clean and we appreciated the amenities- no complaints here I can’t wait to stay here again!

Wonderful rental at the Cliffs resort. Unit was very clean and much more spacious than expected based on the pictures. The kitchen was perfectly equipped, beach cooler, chairs and other fun items for the kids. We could not get the DVD player to work but it didn't matter since the TV had Netflicks. The owner went above and beyond for us. Sending detailed information for a late check-in, suggestions of local points of interest and helping me retrieve a favorite necklace we left behind.
The resort was welcoming/helpful even for guests of a privately owned unit. Resort amenities (pool, puzzle/book library, tennis, pickle ball) and activities (Yoga, Lei making, Hula lessons, etc) were great. My kids did not want to leave the pool for the beach!
I hope to return sooner rather than later :)

The Cliffs at Princeville was a wonderful experience. The guest services are fantastic and very polite and helpful!! The activities are abundant! Swimming ,hot tubs, shuffle board, pickle ball, tennis, the grounds are well kept. They have a lot of activities throughout the week such as Mai Tais on Monday, pizza trucks, lei making, hula dancing… it goes on and on.

This whole stay needs edited: the check-in instructions are wrong. The listing hasn’t been updated since 2020. The listing shows everything from the most positive angle. There’s random stuff in every closet. The outdoor equipment is broken. The shower hardware is covered in soap scum and- hanging on. The “washer/dryer” has restrictions. The parking is not free. The furniture is ripped up/has duct tape on it. The “mats” outside are cut carpet remnants. Beds have sagging in the middle. The lights/fan are done on extension cords, which can’t be up to code, and there’s not enough power to use both on high. All of this would probably be just annoying except the owner gives you wrong details (wifi, parking, check in), and NEVER responds to anything. There’s a folder of random copies of instructions, but a lot of that is wrong too.
We’ve stayed in a lot of vrbos and this has probably been my least favorite. No part of it is designed for you to rest, or have an easy vacation- curtains block no light, ceiling fans on the extension don’t go high enough, etc.
Stuff the owners can’t help, but worth knowing: most beaches have little parking access. You need to walk about a mile from the place to get to Hidden Beach/Queen’s Bath. There’s almost no restaurants walking distance. The pool is small. The other tenants use it to swim laps, so it’s not great to play in. The tennis courts haven’t been properly maintained, so there’s lots of dead lines/puddles/spots.
Stay Away.

We stayed 8 nights in this condo. This is our 12th stay at the cliffs, we have used many other companies to rent our condo and Kauai Vacation Rentals was excellent. The condo could use a few minor fixes. The carpet is old and should be removed in the bedroom and loft. Also, the lanai has an outdoor rug that is too big, with the amount of birds that migrate out there, I don’t think carpet is a good idea. We rolled it up for our stay. I would rent through this company again when we come back next May. Also, dropping key off at office seems unnecessary given other condos at the cliffs.

My fiancé and I loved this condo! It was exactly what we were looking for with a nice pool, kitchen, views, walking distance from some adventures. They go above and beyond at the cliffs with service and hospitality. Bike rentals, tennis, pickleball, and others are available free of charge as well! The condo provided beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, snorkels (warning: try to snorkels with caution, they don’t all work very well). The bed was very comfortable and the condo was cozy and felt like home! I would absolutely stay here again!

Great place! My wife and I loved the resort and the room. Had everything we needed. Perfect for a couple. We felt at home as soon as we got there. A very relaxing place. The hosts were great to deal with, check in and out were very easy, and the location is close enough to just about everything you will need. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Our stay at this Kauai property was nothing short of magical. Nestled in the lush greenery of Kauai's north shore, this condo exceeded all expectations. The property itself is a gem! The condo was clean and spacious. We loved that it was a ground floor end unit - the privacy allowed our kids to run around the grassy lawn by our lanai.
The location was great for visiting North Shore beaches and taking day trips to the South of the Island. The amenities were unbeatable - our kids LOVED the pool, the lei making class, the putting green, and the local cats.
The host communication was stellar and we had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation! Thank you!!

The condo was very spacious, beds were comfortable, and the property was perfect for our family of 5. Check-in involved getting a couple of key cards at a central desk, just like a hotel, which I think is easier than making sure you get an email at the last minute with a code like some other places. Everything was as advertised, plenty of dishes and silverware. We enjoyed the pool and pickleball courts on site, as well as use of the bicycles. There were beach chairs, a cooler, and lots of masks and snorkels, in small kid and adult sizes, and some fins to use as well, though only one of us tried them out. On a side note, though we were disappointed not to hike the Napali coast with our kids due to the difficulty of getting a reservation at Ha'ena State Park, we were able to reserve a self-guided tour at Limahuli Garden right next door, which was a different uniquely Hawaiian experience.

This condo located at the Cliffs has incredible views of the ocean right off the lanai. We enjoyed amazing sunrises and sunsets each night just steps from the condo. We also appreciated the beach chairs, coolers and umbrella for our days on the beach. I was a bit nervous about the heat given there is no AC. However there is great air flow and the ocean breezes kept it perfectly comfortable. Roger & Charlene were very responsive to any questions that we had prior to arrival. We will definitely try to book this property the next time we make it to Princeville! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We have stayed at the Cliffs several times before this trip and have always had a great experience there, this was no exception. Fantastic place to stay. Greg was a great host and very good to communicate with. We arrived several hours before check in and they let us check in early which was very helpful. We would stay again.
