We stayed here with my inlaws and my 20 year old daughter. It was very spacious for us and we all had our own place to retreat to after lots of traveling and activities together.

Spacious and comfortable, easy access, AC kept us cool for sleeping, fans during the day, good sound separation for working mornings, WiFi spotty

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The townhouse itself was decent. It was located in a relatively quiet location, and had everything needed for cooking, etc versus having to go out to eat every meal. The issues were that the place was rather worn, and things weren't in the best condition. The beds were terrible and provided no support, but otherwise caused body aches and pains for everyone in our party. Also, the ad listed that this unit had AC. It was only in the primary bedroom and no where else. Being a two story unit the upstairs was very hot even with all the windows and sliding doors open. It made it very difficult to sleep until late in the evening/early morning when it finally cooled off.

Overall the property is set up for family with younger children 4 and up which was nice and a good fit for us. The house has a great breeze when all window and doors are open plus fans (provided) and ceiling fans turned on makes it very comfortable. Very open floor plan. We did find some roaches small and big in the upstairs bedroom and kitchen. A lot of commotion going on outside early in the morning with tractors mowing and heavy machinery moving around. There were some areas of the house kind of run down and need a little love but all in all it was a nice stay for us. We had a lot of groceries left over that we didn’t even open; steaks, bacon, apple bananas and a lot of other item we left for housekeeping to have so it didn’t waste. We loved getting to listen to the radio provided in the property. We also loved the local touches around the house.

Nice place perfect for our 2 day staycay. 2 bedrooms and an "office" but we had the baby sleep in the "office" since it was darker and there is a day bed. We put some fragile decorations on higher shelves and then there was tons of crawl space. Weird blockade in parking lot lane, but just had to go to turn around and go to the other entrance. Only thing didn't care for was the stray cats. There is a note that you can feed them or not, and they go from house to house. They were harmless but since stray, don't know how clean they are. Highly recommend.

Far from a luxury experience. Make sure you read the entire listing and the listing on their website, not just the vrbo website. Vrbo had no mention of no AC and shame on us for assuming they had one. The check in involved several emails with detailed house rules. We found ourselves digging through emails looking for pass codes and details. There were only 2 portable fans for the three bedrooms that only seemed to blow hot air on us at night. Communication with their team was not great, not helpful, and only during business hours. Beds and pillows were not very comfortable. Out dated appliances with no ice maker. Great location, though would recommend a different rental.

Beautiful townhome. Good location. Quiet neighborhood (except for the chickens). Awesome view of the mountains.

Our family of 5, two adults, 3 boys (22, 19, 17) all throughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely property. The split floorpan workout out great, plenty of space to spread out, and the unit was extremely well stocked. But the absolute best part was the incredible view from the windows and balcony. Stunning! We all want to come back and hated to leave. Booking this property, there was several forms and things to fill out, but once that was all done, process was simple.The extra fans were appreciated. Very good communication and text messages leading up to our stay.

First off, Monique was a superb host. Her willingness to communicate was amazing to make sure we had what we needed. Second the place was bigger than expected, I just kept walking around saying omg this is so cute-I love this; so my family decided I had a crush on the space. It was so nice, clean, well stocked and artfully decorated. Beds were super comfy, fans everywhere to keep us cool plus AC,a fun walk to the old club med trail and a short drive to Hanalei and Princevillle. We really enjoyed our stay! After staying some of our time in resorts, this felt so much better.

This place was beautiful and more upscale than we expected. Comfortable and peaceful. We wish we had stayed longer. We saw a rainbow out the window in the morning. Everything needed was provided.

Nice stay! Clean house with beautiful views in a good location that was close to places we wanted to go. Hanalei Bay is 10ish minutes. There’s a Foodland and shave ice 0.3 miles away. 52 minutes from Lihue airport. Sand toys and beach toys in the garage. Extra beach towels. Air conditioning was adequate. Pool is very clean and heated which was great. Manager was very responsive! In a complex of about 50 identical units. Neighborhood was very quiet while we were there. 3 stars for the cookware which is pretty standard for vacation rentals. Thought washing AND putting away the dishes was a bit much to ask when leaving first thing in the morning considering price and cleaning service. Most places just ask you to start the dishwasher at most. Overall, would recommend the stay but it was our first time to Kauai so we might look around for a different type of experience next time.

This was a beautiful duplex with views of the mountains and short distance from Princeville shopping center and the beautiful Hanalei. The lower level has AC as advertised and a spacious bedroom. The upper level has fans and spacious living room, additional bathrooms and well stocked with cookware kitchen. The area is peaceful and the nearby roosters added to the cultural charm of it. Highly recommend!

This unit was more than I hoped for. I rarely deviate from where I usually stay in Kauai for fear I might get a lemon, but this unit was perfect. I loved the floor plan! It provided privacy from other guests( we had an infant with us, never him cry. THe unit was clean, beds were comfortable, and it was decorated beautifully.

Our vacation home was clean, well decorated and perfectly located. We really enjoyed it there. We had a little problem with the TV and Monique was on top of it before we hung up the phone! We will for sure stay there again on our next trip to Kauai.

This house was very spacious. It had everything we needed to make our time on Kauai amazing. Located very close to grocery, ice cream, restaurants and shops. And just a 5 -10 minute drive to the beaches.

We absolutely loved the entire townhouse. It had everything we could need. The location was convenient to hope onto car and run into the local towns. It was so cute to have the outdoor cats come to the door and ask to be fed ❤️❤️❤️ We needed at least 1.5 - 2 weeks at that townhouse and we can’t wait to come back!

Our condo couldn't have been more perfect - little thoughtful touches throughout made it extra special. Everything looked brand new and we easily had enough space for everyone and for all that we brought with us. The kitchen and bathrooms were well-stocked plus Monique even had items to use for picnicking, going to the beach, hiking - etc. She literally couldn't have made this any better. We would absolutely come back and will definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Kauai.

My husband & I stayed for 2 wonderful weeks. Great location. Very clean & exactly as described. The only convenience we missed from home was a microwave to heat up our leftovers. We did use the toaster oven & the oven in the stove but would've just been faster with a microwave. Literally the only thing we missed. Everything else was absolutely perfect! Would def book again.

KVR is well organized and takes the worry out of vacation renting. If they could just do something about frequent showers and 4am roosters...

An outstanding property that had more than enough room to accommodate our group of 5 adults. The views and location of this property were breathtaking and the townhouse was fully equipped with all the needed amenities. The property management company was absolutely first rate and a joy to deal with prior to, and during, our stay. We would highly recommend this vacation rental!

This was a two-story townhouse, with two beautiful master suites, large open kitchen and living area. Right in Princeville and convenient to everything. Pool and hot tub right nearby. Would definitely stay in this unit again!

3 couples stayed at the condo and we all thoroughly enjoyed our 1 week stay. The condo was large enough to comfortably accommodate all of us. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Plenty of linens for everyone including beach towels. We used the pool several times. The spa was hot, which was a nice plus and the pool heated. We also used the grill one night. There were lots a kids in the pool splashing and jumping in. The parents were there but didn’t say anything. We usually would just wait for them to leave. Other than that, we had a great time and will definitely come back again.

This home is beautiful, well equipped, and has outstanding views of the mountainous terrain. The community is gated and very quiet. We didn't use the swimming pool but they did have plenty of beach and pool towels available. There was 5 beach chairs, 2 beach mats, 2 bogie boards and some sand toys for when you head to the beaches. I loved the location, so much to do with a lot of beaches close by. They also had a binder full of suggestions of where to eat and things to do. When we had a question about parking they got back to us immediately and was very helpful. Two thing to note, there is no air conditioning (not uncommon), so make sure you close all the shades while you're gone or it will get quite hot in the house. Second thing is that there is a quite a lot of steps for you older people with hip and knee issues and people with small children. It would not stop me from renting this place again but just so you're aware. It was fabulous!

Very clean. A little issue, none issue with the burners on the stove. Directions to place pots on the stove before turning on should be displayed for us non European guest. Washer should be aired out regularly or at least keep the door open. Friendly neighbors and guest. 5 star rental. Thanks

This was one of the nicest vacation rentals I have stayed in. Very well furnished and comfortable. Great view of mountains from back patio. Next to golf course. Close to food and beaches. There is no air conditioning but that not an issue for anyone except sleeping the first night. I’m used to cooler nights. They do have lots of fans and we had all windows open. We would definitely stay there again.

Location was great to be able o get to everything, and he views spectacular. Manger was on vacation and left a list of numbers in case something happened

This unit is located at the end of the community which makes it very quiet. The house itself is spacious. Upstairs is no AC but fans. It can get very hot even with all the fans on and doors open. I guess better window coverings would help.
