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.

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!

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.
