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!

Simply put, great location and space for 1-3 people, especially for the price. You are in walking distance to some beaches as well as restaurants and a grocery store. Hanalei is a short 7 min drive away. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Lani was so communicative leading up to the trip and during our stay! She also provides an incredible, updated, and comprehensive guide to the island prior to your arrival, which we used to plan our trip. It was such a great resource!

My husband and I had a fabulous time staying here! Everything we needed was in the condo, which was very well laid-out and nicely furnished. Cooking was easy in the condo’s well-equipped kitchen area (there was also a gas grill by the pool). Bedding was comfortable and there were plenty of linens. We also appreciated the beach chairs, beach towels and snorkeling equipment. The property was very quiet and peaceful, with lush landscaping and a nice pool. The property was situated exactly as advertised, within a convenient walking or driving distance to shops, restaurants and many gorgeous beaches. The community the condo is in, Princeville, is really beautiful, with amazing scenery and lots of walking trails. The property owner, Lani, was incredibly thoughtful and helpful. She was quickly responsive to all of our questions both before our trip even started, and while we were there. She’s a very gracious person who made us feel completely at home in her condo. I highly recommend this property.

We had a wonderful time in Kauai, and Lani's condo was perfect for recharging between full days of exploring and hiking. I also greatly appreciated the guide she put together - it is so thorough, and was super helpful for our planning. She is very communicative and friendly, and the check-in/out process was clear and easy.
Everything was very tidy and comfortable, and the kitchenette is well-equipped - we made dinner one night (and used the shared grill out by the pool) and ate a few breakfasts at the condo before setting out for the day. Also appreciated the beach chairs & umbrella!
I would recommend bringing ear plugs for sleeping because you will want the windows open and there are other condos/people close by (and of course the roosters that are everywhere on the island - but they were actually the quietest here of anywhere we stayed). It didn't cool off much at night during our trip, but there were several nice fans that allowed us to sleep comfortably.
The location is fantastic - tucked away but close to the main road - it took about 10 mins to get to Hanalei where we went several times for restaurants etc.

My two teen sons and I visited Kauai and stayed here for a week and explored the island. The unit was the perfect size for the three of us and featured what we needed to have a comfortable home base. Queen in the bedroom and fold out sofa worked wonderfully. Just enough kitchen area to prepare some quicker meals and store goodies from nearby Foodland. Lani was a gracious and quickly communicative host. Do take her up on her guide and recommendations. I've visited before and I was surprised by just how much snorkeling and sights right around Princeville. I'd definitely stay here again. Late-open pool right before bed with all the stars in the sky is an indelible memory.
