Absolutely enchanting! I could watch the water all day.. we saw so many whales! Beds were pretty comfortable and everything was clean and beautiful. Sofa was comfortable to watch a movie on in the evening. Lots of books and some games available to use. Didn’t have any trouble at all with bugs. Water was nice and hot and plenty of linens and towels. Would absolutely stay here again!
Absolutely stunning rental! Quiet and peaceful, overlooking the ocean- tons of privacy and really high quality place. Even the bedding and towels felt bougie. 10/10 will definitely stay here again, next time, for the entire trip instead of breaking it up. Smaller bedroom had a not so comfy bed, and the front door is tricky, but everything was wonderful.
Wonderful stay! Excellent views from the balcony, got to see whales. The condo was clean and had all the things needed for our stay. Great location in Princeville.
Awesome experience - great stay - location was great, unbelievable Ocean views - condo was clean and in good condition - no problems we even extended a day without any issues- Highly recommend !!!
Lovely stay with a lot of really nice touches, like beach towels and chairs. Gorgeous view and the bed was super comfy. Extremely helpful to have some spices and a bit of cooking oil since we did cook. I would definitely recommend this beautiful condo.
We had a wonderful stay during Thanksgiving. The location was absolutely lovely—quiet, peaceful, and the perfect retreat. It was incredibly convenient to pop over to Hanalei, and we loved being able to return to the calm and serenity of Princeville at the end of the day.The Princeville shopping center is just a quick 5-minute drive (or about a 30-minute walk), and having Foodland nearby made grabbing groceries very easy. We also really enjoyed the local eateries—The Spot was a standout for breakfast.One of our favorite parts of the stay was the sunrise each morning. The rental is just steps away from the bluff, and we loved settling into the chairs there to watch the sun come up over the water. You’re so close to the ocean that you can hear the waves as you fall asleep, which we personally found incredibly relaxing. But don’t worry—if you prefer silence at night, closing the windows blocks most of the sound (as our friends can attest!).The kitchen was nicely set up with plenty of glassware, plates, and silverware. The cooking tools were a bit of a hodge-podge, so if you plan to cook frequently, you may need to get a little resourceful, but it worked fine for our needs.Overall, this was a peaceful, well-located spot that made our trip to Kauai even more special. We would happily stay here again.
The condo was clean and felt spacious. The vies from the balcony was beautiful. My only wish was that the balcony would have extended to the master bedroom. Then you would have truly had an oceanfront view. The view from the balcony was a bit impacted by the condo building on the left.

Immaculately clean. Very quiet. Peaceful ocean sound
I would say the check-in process for this rental unit made me uneasy because I wasn’t sure what surprises or potential issues might come up. My vacation is meant for relaxing, not for reading contracts and worrying about unexpected terms.The rental listing never mentioned anything about a separate contract. However, after I booked the unit and paid the non-refundable fee, I received an email stating that I had to sign a contract in order to receive the check-in information. I’ve never encountered such a process with any of my previous vacation bookings.They should clearly include this requirement in the listing so potential guests know they must sign a contract before paying a non-refundable fee.Because of this check-in process, I would not recommend this rental unit to others — although the unit itself is good.
It is a very nice place, but Princeville for us was a liitle too limited on things to do in walking distance. We prefer having more options, but thats just us. The rental was very nice and clean and the neighborhood is very nice and always felt safe.
Great property with easy access to Hanalei and north side beaches.
Great place overall. Pillows need to be upgraded. Microwave clock is broken. Should have an emergency first aid kit.

Our stay was exactly what we hoped...chilling and enjoying Kauai. The location is beautiful with gorgeous views from 3 rooms. The balcony will be greatly missed! The only thing that might need to be replaced is the master was a bit squeaky with any little movement. The top level is perfect if you are looking for a quiet location on the property. We look forward to visiting this beautiful getaway place. The sunset off the canyon was very much enjoyed. If you want to sleep with the sounds of waves this location is perfect.
The property and unit were great! We enjoyed the beautiful views from all of the rooms, especially the primary bedroom! The kitchen is well equipped and we enjoyed cooking many of our meals there. It was also nice to enjoy the pool in the afternoon after our daily hikes/ trips to the beach. Appreciated the convenience of using the beach chairs, cooler and umbrella during our stay. We’ll definitely be back!
This was our first stop on Kauai, and we really enjoyed the panoramic views. We enjoyed walks in the neighborhood, and relaxing on the deck while viewing the beautiful ocean. There is a nice breeze which helps keep things cool inside. We drove into Hanalei to enjoy the beach and for some meals. The local market had plenty of supplies and fresh food, too.
We greatly enjoyed our stay. The unit was nicer than it looked in the pictures and the sounds of the crashing ocean were incredible.
Lovely, comfortable, quiet condo with an unsurpassable view! This was our third stay at Ali’i Kai and this is my favorite unit yet. So close to shopping, walking paths, and my favorite beach (Anini), yet very private and peaceful. Mahalo for a wonderful stay.
