We had a great time at this three bedroom property. Location is great in princeville, and we appreciated the 3br/3ba. Pool, while small, seems as good or better than nearby developments, and my kids had fun. Cleaning between guests is good, but property manager should have more frequent deep cleanings, including under beds and furniture. Like all the other units in this development (and others on the north shore of Kauai), the non-master bedrooms do not have a/c registers. We appreciated the fans to compensate for that, and also the closet with boogie boards, beach umbrella etc. Excellent supply of bath and beach towels as well. Property manager's communications about check in etc were excellent.
Nice spacious layout with great light. Easy parking. The furniture is comfortable without being stuffy. Kitchen is well stocked with supplies. A/C works well, but only cools the master bedroom and living room.

This rental was very disappointing - very dirty and furniture was beat up, curtain rod was missing (replaced with black duct tape to make it look like there was a curtain rod) I would not stay here again. It needs a very deep clean; dust caked on everything, mold all over the bathrooms, water continuously dripping from a vent above the kitchen table, live lizard (?) in the oven, fridge door handles sticky - so gross!! Location was great.
The house was a great layout for our group with the central kitchen and den and dining area. My only complaint would be that the furniture needed updating, including the resting dining chairs on the patio. The cabinetry in the kitchen wasn’t exactly clean. Either was the molding around the bathroom tiling for the tubs or the light fixtures and windowsills that were horribly dusty.
The location was perfect for our family. We appreciated the 3 bathrooms and bedrooms and nice balcony. Kitchen had what we needed. Beach towels and chairs were great!
We had a lovely time at this place! The host was so accommodating. The first night they forgot the pack n play which they were super quick to respond and was able to get it to us the next day ( we were okay without the first night). We also had a delayed flight and we asked if we could have a later check out and they responded quickly and was very willing to allow us a later check out.
The place was very clean and exceeded our expectation! It was very nice to have a bathroom for each bedroom. And to be very close to both Princeville and Hanalei made for a great location.
They had lots of beach stuff we could use such as chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, a pool noodle, snorkel gear and beach towels. Seriously that was soo helpful and useful.
We had the best stay and we definitely highly recommend this place and will keep this place in mind when traveling to Kauai again!

Our family vacation could not have went smoother! Communications with rental agency were on point from commitments booking, arrival and departure! Well appointed condo with everything you need to enjoy the beach to the pool in a very nice community. Great walking path through Princeville starts at the corner!
We can to island to celebrate my 60th birthday. Had a great time. Love the location great walks and beaches near by! Very roomy house
THE GOOD: Location was lovely, appreciated access to the pool, nice to have the availability of things like beach chairs & other equipment, loved spending mornings on the lanai watching the birds, & enjoyed having a bathroom for each bedroom.
THE NOT SO GOOD: Overall this property was a big disappointment when it came to the cleanliness & 2 interactions with the host. We experienced 2 large (4 inches long) cockroaches in the house during our 3 day stay and a gecko in the bedroom. The drapes were stained/dirty, the curtain rods were not adequately attached to the walls & came apart, the fan/light fixtures were extremely dirty with bugs in them, surfaces like light switches & door handle areas were dirty, the carpets were quite dirty/stained, there were stains on the bed sheets, & the cushions on the outdoor chairs were quite filthy and stained. In addition, there was no BBQ as was in the picture and I would consider the A/C as only partial given that there were no vents in 2 bedrooms & the vent that there was in the living area was dripping water from the ceiling onto a placemat on the dining room table. We also found a partial fake eyelash attached to the kitchen scissors.
As for communication with the host , there was no apology at all for the condition of the place. She simply referred to the contract & said we should have said something while were there & nothing could be done such as a refund of the large cleaning fee. Disappointing stay to say the least.
Everything was great, especially the air conditioning and the fact that some condiments were ready in the fridge when we arrived. Thank you for a great stay!
