We found the stay comfortable and it met our needs just fine. The hostess was very nice. She greeted and treated us as friends. We were able to have an early check which was appreciated. Grocery stores were nearby.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The check in process was easy and understandable, which was nice. There’s pool access, and a membership card that provides a discount at the foodland down the road. There isn’t AC, and the listing accurately shows that, but there’s a fan in the VRBO that worked well to keep us cool. We really enjoyed our stay here and would stay again!

This rental was perfect for our stay on North Shore with quick access to bars and restaurants in Princeville, Hanalei, and Kilauea. It is very quiet (until the roosters crow in the morning 😁), clean and comfortable, but no A/C, so keep that fan running and open up for cross breezes. We made great use of the Foodland membership card to purchase some staples. The fridge, hot plate, and toaster oven were perfect for our cooking needs. Val is very responsive and quick to message. Our nextdoor neighbor Joy was a sweetheart and a great local contact for this rental. The pool was very comfortable and a great way to cool off. Anini Beach was easy to get to, but part of the path is a little steep and wet, so consider that in your footwear getting down there

Just to start everything was just as advertised and I agree with 99% of the reviews that were posted on the Vrbo site. Everything we wanted to do was nearby, our hosts Joy and Les were a great help and super friendly and full of information. The kitchenette was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need and a 10 minute walk to the grocery store that had everything to be could possibly need for two weeks. This place came equipped with an umbrella, several chairs, some fins and a boogie board that were of the highest quality A quick drive to as many beach options as you want Max five minutes and if you want a good workout and don’t mind walking down a steep cliff and back up, Anini beach is 10 minute walk. If you can wait till Saturday, there are fresh produce farmers markets on every corner from Princeville to Ka’a.
A bonus is this property is only one story so there’s no one above you and the caretakers are next-door and they are very quiet overall, it’s an excellent price for what you get if there was one downfall it’s lacking a washer dryer, but we didn’t let that get us down 10 stars for us and we will definitely book this house again.

Nothing fancy but a nice clean property in a good complex. Close to main highway. No AC was a worry but windows open a fan during day it was very comfortable. A great value and enjoyed every minute of our stay.

My wife and I spent a week at this lovely property. The apartment had everything needed for a pleasant and relaxing stay. We loved the decor and the feel of the entire place. We’re grateful for the beach equipment and gear that were provided. It was also a pleasure meeting and chatting with Joy (the neighbor). The location of the property was perfect for us. We had no trouble getting to the places we wanted to visit from there. If you’re planning a trip to Kauai just go ahead and book this place. We highly recommend it and would love to stay here again!

Comfortable accommodations. 10 minutes from Hanalei and 30 from Kapaa town. Unit has no a/c, but we were very comfortable nonetheless. Well-supplied and great neighbors Les and Joy eager to help with any issues. Would highly recommend as a value property on the N. Shore. Host Val was a pleasure to work with also.

We have been using vacation rentals for more than 10 years. I all that time we have never had a poor experience.
Our experience with this one was different.
When we walked into the unit the fragrance was pretty strong despite all of the windows being open. Once we put away the sources of the fragrance it smelled musty. There are no curtains other than a couple shears.
The TV and Internet didn't work per VRBO instructions and required help from Joy the next door neighbor to get it working. The TV and Internet services are Joy's so you are sharing her services. During our stay the internet was out almost everyday at some point. The TV is 24".
It wasn't clean. There was rodent feces on the bathroom mirror, TV cabinet, and along the walls in the unit. According the the information sheet, roaches and mold are common too. We did see moldy areas but no roaches. We did have several lizards living in the kitchen.
There were several broken dishes in the kitchen cabinet and a inoperable fan as well.
The host Valerie, the least helpful person I have ever dealt with.
From my first contact about the key code, which she never responded too, requiring a second request three days later to our last communication, it was bad.
For some reason, she expects you to be her property manager.

Great rental experience. Incredibly Beautiful environment. Everything works. Was a great place to return to after our outings during our vacation. Close to Foodland, some great beaches, and the Napali coast. Joy, the neighbor/property manager is really friendly. Would absolutely recommend.

The property is in a great location, with a very nice pool.
However there was no place for 2 people to sit side-by-side; a loveseat would have been preferable to an armchair. Also more lighting is needed at the eating area.
Lastly, there was an extra damage protection cost that was not indicated until after the rental charges were finalized; in all our travels, this is the only place where we incurred this kind of charge.
Our overall experience was greatly enhanced by our kind and helpful neighbours.

I really enjoyed staying here! The artwork and lanai garden are lovely. The arrangements are a little unorthodox, but once you get oriented you have everything you need. Joy, the next door neighbor, was REALLY a joy! She was always available for questions and helped me get the cable TV working.
