Lani was very communicative. The studio was great. We didn't cook, but the kitchen is well equipped and had everything we needed for coffee in the morning before our daily outings. The location is perfect. Would highly recommend and will plan to stay in the future.

We loved the view out the back window and the deck. The bathroom was a nice size. The kitchenette was tiny but functional with plenty of dishware, glasses, etc. We had a little trouble figuring out the two burner cooktop. The fans and A/C worked great and kept everything comfortable. There was a nice walking path along a nearby golf course. Thee pool was a comfortable temperature. There was a supermarket, coffee shop and at least two restaurants in the nearby Princeville Center about a 5 minute drive. The host kept in touch daily to check on any needs we might have. She provided lots of great info on restaurants, shops, beaches and sightseeing.

My husband and I stayed at Lani's condo and had a wonderful time. This cute little studio had everything we needed during our 10-day vacation on Kauai, from cooking essentials to snorkeling gear. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom surprisingly spacious, and the streaming services were a nice bonus.The cooking area is compact—really just room for one person at a time—but it worked well enough for our needs. Some of the snorkeling gear was in good shape, though not all of it, so if you plan to snorkel often, I’d recommend renting gear from the local shops in Hanalei. The Wi-Fi could be a bit spotty at times, but in a way it encouraged us to disconnect from our phones—which is exactly what a vacation should be about.

Everything was clean and comfortable.Our favorite thing was how quick we could get to so many amazing beaches and restaurants. That was exactly what we wanted. The place was not what we expected in terms of the layout. It’s a bit tight with lots of furniture and had an odd lay out. The kitchen is really best for making coffee and heating things up but we didn’t do any actual cooking which turned out to be a blessing in disguise since we got to eat out every meal! We loved the beach equipment available and used that everyday.

10 stars/ rating for communication with Lani. All amenities / beach stuff there to use. Lovely golf course facing view ( early morning golf maintenance workers). Flo-through breezes and fans keep the place cool and fresh. Lani's Kauai guide was great.Kauai is so beautiful, Lani and her place so welcoming - I would return again

I booked this condo as a spot for 4 nights between arriving in Hawaii and meeting in Oahu. Hadn’t stayed in Princeville before, and the weather was rainier than I had hoped, but unit was nice, well designed and laid out. WiFi was plenty strong for my work zooms.Owner was very helpful in advance and during my stay. Should you stay here? An unqualified YES!

The Hanalei area is one of the most beautiful in the islands and this is a clean and convenient place to stay in the area.

My boyfriend and I booked this stay after looking at several options. It was perfect! The pictures are cute but it is better in person. Lani was so helpful. Check in was easy, everything was clean, and we had no issues. The family downstairs was so welcoming. The path behind the property to the beach was really cool! I cannot recommend this property more!

Our host Lani was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had. The place is small and cute. You can hear some traffic and the folks downstairs had small children that we could hear too. But for the most part the condo was an excellent choice for us.

My wife loved Lani’s attentional to detail. Lani explained the property very well in the VRBO description so we knew what to expect. Very beautiful place. The ceiling fans and the bedroom cooling fan was much appreciated on two extra warm nights. the weather intimidated us from snorkeling unfortunately butLani's equipment on site had us ready. Lani also provided good local wisdom. Thanks Lani

The property was beautiful, clean, and really well-equipped. You can cook in it if you need, and there are various swimming and beach supplies. Lani, the owner, is incredible. She helps with anything you need and provides any information you might want too. She's fantastic and we had the best time in the condo. We highly recommend it and hope to be back soon!

My wife and I came for our 35th anniversary, didn't know much about Kauai but knew it was very scenic and had some great hiking trails. We stayed here for the 1st half of our trip and stayed on the south side of the island for the 2nd half. We much preferred the north side (if you need to shop at Lululemon, go to the south side). The location of the VRBO was very peaceful, relaxing, and quiet (other than the roosters, of course, but they're everywhere on the island so no getting around that). It's within walking distance to things like the Queen's Bath and a pickup point for the shuttle to Haena Park. It's also a short drive to several beaches, grocery store, shaved ice, etc. The kitchenette was great for making meals - we actually only ate out once on our whole trip, the rest of our meals we made in the condo. The lack of AC was no big deal, we were there late June/early July and didn't need it. Lani has a small cooling unit in the bedroom which was enough to keep it cool, plus the fan provided some white noise that blocked out the roosters, making it easier to sleep. Lani was great to work with, very helpful and communicative. One of the best things of staying here was Lani's guide for Kauai. Lots of very useful information, which made our whole trip go much smoother. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks, Lani!

We truly enjoyed our stay at Lani’s condo. We arrived the same day as a wedding we were attending and Lani and Tanya were super accommodating in allowing us to check in early. The condo is spacious, has good amenities like a mini fridge, electric stovetop, kitchen ware, beach towels, and sunscreen! We felt really comfortable in the space. There is also a designated parking spot for you if you bring or rent a car. It was also very close to amazing food spots like Hanalei bread company and beautiful beaches like Anini beach. Only tip is to bring ear plugs - the birds and roosters are quite loud at night and in the early morning. Thank you Lani for a great stay!

There was nothing we didn’t like. It was everything we expected and more. We loved the Hawaiian decor and openness of the space with the high ceilings. The only thing that may have made it better (only because we were there a while) was an on site small washer/dryer.
