We stayed here as a family of 6 and had an enjoyable time. Location is great! We loved the nourish stand at the end of the street and enjoyed the walk to the beach. Princeville is such a beautiful area we love this side of the island. This house has everything we needed and was very well stocked. Our biggest problem with the home was we booked it because we needed 3 bedrooms as a family of 6. The 2 bedrooms with AC were great and we slept so nice and cool. Unfortunately the bedroom without ac was miserable for my kids and so they weren’t able to sleep in it. We booked it for the 3 bedrooms but we weren’t even able to use one of them bc it was just so hot and muggy. We had to make 2 bedrooms work which wasn’t ideal but we made the best of it. Other than that the property was good!
We had an amazing time at this property. It had all the supplies one could need while enjoying Kauai. The location was also great and allowed us to walk to several places from the apartment. The place was comfortable, clean, well appointed. Would love to stay again.
Beautiful place, walking distance to the most amazing beach, kid friendly, very clean.
The place has 3 bedrooms, all nice. 2 with AC, one with just fans.Condo has beach stuff: boogie boards, chairs, towels etc.Down the street from plaza with grocery store and restaurants.Very safe areaOverall great stay!
The house is lovely and has everything you need for a wonderful holiday on Kauai, including well-equipped kitchen, plus beach chairs, towels, boogie board and kids’ toys. It’s well located right near a supermarket, but more importantly, near beautiful Hanalei Bay Beach and its welcoming, interesting town.
The property is a 3 bedroom condo, part of a duplex in a larger group of condos. It is a short drive from beaches, a grocery store, and the quaint town of Hanalei. The north shore of Kauai is very beautiful and quiet, and it was an enjoyable place to stay. Everything was great; our only complaint was that there is only one full bath, which makes sharing the shower inconvenient when two teenagers are staying with you.
Our family of 4 loved staying at Ema's super clean and cozy cottage. It was nice to be out of the hustle-bustle of Princeville while close to shopping and all points-of-interest on the north shore. We were grateful to find beach towels, beach bags, chairs, coolers, boogie boards and other beach items available for use. Water pressure was great in the shower. The kitchen was well stocked, and the cottage was squeaky clean! A recent storm had knocked out the internet, but a quick call to the wonderful manager, Chris, had us up and running right away! Stay here and feel like a guest in a friend's home. Good vibes all around!
We needed a place for a family of 5. This place was perfect! It was in a very safe and clean area. They provided everything we needed for our trip… beach chairs, boogie boards, towels, ice chewers, bags, even snorkeling gear and beach toys! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. Check in and out was super easy. Staying here made our vacation even more special!
The condo was perfectly located. Check in was simple and communication could not have been better. I do think the condo needs some TLC and some updating. If you ran the window AC units the electrical breaker would flip off. Area is very nice and safe.
the house has everything you need, clean, very good and quick contact with the manager.
My family loved our stay at Ema’s place in Princeville. Check in process was easy, and she was very easy to connect with. The home was close to many things and a short drive from places in Princeville along with Hanalei. We used the kitchen a lot and it had everything we needed to make our meals! Ema’s place was perfect for our family. I also loved that she provided games, toys for kids, and beach gear! I would definitely stay here again.
We had a great time enjoying the North Shore with this condo as home base. The place is packed with everything you will need for your stay, especially if you have children with you. Games, toys, boogie boards, beach chairs, snorkeling gear, etc. the kitchen has everything you would want. Unfortunately, our stay aligned with what is likely one of the warmest and sunniest weeks of the year and the electrical infrastructure only allows you to run two of the 3 bedroom AC units at a time. So one of the bedrooms remained quite warm until a few hours after sunset. For most people this should be no problem. We just had some tired kids who were in bed early especially with the time change. No complaints otherwise and we would stay here again.
This property was great for our family of 5. It was in a great location on the North side of the Island. All of the boogie boards, beach towels, and umbrellas was a plus. There were portable AC units in each of the upstairs bedrooms which were handy when it got super hot. The property was quiet and neighbors respectful. With a family of 5 (including a teen) it would have been nice to have two showers. Ema was a great host and we would stay again!
This is an excellent property. Supplied with everything we could need and more. Clean and comfortable. Neighborhood is quiet and felt completely safe. 1000% recommend!
This house was perfect. It was so close to town and had everything that we needed. The short drive to the beach is amazing.
Great location for all your adventures on the north shore. I recommend checking out the trail to the beach just down the road by Nourish. It sounds like some people might have gotten confused by the trail signs thinking it might be a privates trail. Read the FULL signs. We didn’t have any problems. Met some nice locals on the trail. Drive SLOW on the road and be respectful. Enjoy!
Everything was excellent except my husband and I are elderly and I’ve had polio so the steps were a big problem for us. We didn’t know it was 2 story. We had a great time.
The home was located in a wonderful location just outside Hanalei and super close to everything in Princeville. The house was as described with a good sized kitchen for cooking and a great supply of beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards. It was a bit tight for six friends but we made it work and had a great time. The property manager was extremely responsive and helpful.
My family and I stayed at Ema’s place and were so incredibly happy! Centrally located with AC and all the beach amenities ready for our use! Thank you so much Ema! We’ll be back for sure!
Excellent base for Kauai adventure. They had everything we needed and were very responsive to any of our requests.
We had a great time, the house was great and had
My family enjoyed our time here - it's clean, has lots of space and the beds were comfortable. We much appreciated the boogie boards, beach chairs and umbrella. It's a good central location to explore the north shore of Kauai convenient to both Hanalei and Princeville.
Me and my 4 children had an absolute wonderful experience staying here. We are all homebodies and really appreciate the feeling of being home after a long day of exploring. This place provided just that. It was very clean and bright. The ambiance provided an uplifting and warm feeling. The roosters were very welcoming too!
The whole check in process was very easy to understand and follow. When we first arrived we were provided with gifts in the kitchen that the kids and I enjoyed immensely. That was such a nice surprise! The location of the place is only about 5 minutes from the Hanalei Beach as well as the town Hanalei. There is also a nearby grocery store which is very convenient too. Everything is provided for a day at the beach. We used it all especially 2 of the boggie boards. If I ever come back I hope to stay here again.
Very clean, ample space, awesome host gifts!! The place was perfect for our family. Loved all the available beach gear and the snack shack just down the road!!!
About a 10 min drive to Hanalei bay and another shopping center/area for food so we felt it was pretty central. Easy check. The house had plenty of utensils, cups, plates, and cookware. Not stocked with any additional items like seasoning or oil but that’s okay they did leave some complimentary snacks and beverages which was nice. Only thing that stood out was that the house could use a deep clean some less common areas were pretty dusty and the washing machine had some build up/gunk in it. Overall the stay was good.
We loved this property. It was clean and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay there again.

Great location for exploring Princeville, Hanalei & Anini Beach. Well kept home with lots & lots of amenities. If i ever get the chance to come back thos location is worth reviewing.
We spent 5 nights in this adorable condo. Everything you need for the beach is provided. Towels, umbrellas, boogie boards, chairs, sand toys…etc
The kitchen has every gadget you need to cook. All of the beds were so comfy. Great pillow options.
The condo is in a very quiet quaint location. My 12 year old found some toys that she’d play with after a long day at the beach. They have a fun selection of card and board games for the family. Our trip couldn’t have been better. We were welcomed with a gift basket of treats 🌺 Mahalo
