The view was amazing and everything we needed was supplied and available. The only drawback was that there was no AC. It was way too hot during the day and only cooled off at night.
This would be even better with ACNeeded a few more items in the kitchen
Our stay was wonderful. Truly the location can't be beat. Beautiful ocean view and a quick walk down to a private beach! The property itself left a lot to be desired. As mentioned in previous reviews the unit (aside from the showers) hasn't been updated in a long time. My guess is the early 90s. The refrigerator while functioning is rusty as is the washer and dryer. The cabinets are stocked will all the kitchen wares you need but the hinges are loose and they tend to swing open. The unit could use some updating but we didn't go to Kauai to hang out in a condo we went enjoy all that the island had to offer so in the end it was a great stay.
This was our 14th trip to Kauai and the 3rd time we have chosen to stay at a Pali Ke Kua condo. At #203 the views are amazing but the condo is very outdated and old which we could tell from the pictures but not to the level that it actually is. The side of the fridge is rusty, as are other things and every time you opened the fridge the upper cabinet door opens. The sliders and screen doors are old and hard to open and the floor length curtains are stained and dirty. The showers have been beautifully updated but NOTHING else! If the owners did the entire bathroom or condo in the same tile and color theme as the showers the condo would look amazing and be so much cleaner! Our first night there around midnight, we discovered water dripping from the ceiling in the master bathroom. There was a good size puddle on the floor. We went upstairs to see if something was leaking but could not find anything so we had to call the emergency number for the property manager. She picked up right away and was very concerned as well. She called back 30 min. later with a new place for us to move into the next morning down the street. This condo was beautiful with an ocean view. The property manager was very kind and helpful and we really appreciated the efforts she went through to make sure our stay on the north shore was comfortable and enjoyable. The only way we would come back to stay is if it gets a full renovation.
See title. We love staying in this complex overlooking the mouth of Hanalei bay. The unit was fine. Nothing fancy. Owner/property manager could put a bit more care into upkeep. Delaminating countertop trim, light over stove not working, lights elsewhere not working. But, we REALLY enjoyed staying here and when we had a question, property manager responded very quickly.
This oceanview was hard to leave. Whale sightings almost every day from the lanai.
Pali Ke Kua is perfect in every way. We rented two units for our family. One unit was updated and very well furnished. This unit was dated with old formica and not very well furnished, particularly the kitchen; bare bones. There was a lot of rust on appliances (which happens with salt water, but still...a lot), old cabinets that don't close, only basic kitchen supplies, and carpet that didn't look very clean. There were not enough outlets in bedrooms for the fans supplied. That said, the view was spectacular, and the location perfect!
Stayed 4 nights. Beautiful location and super close to many great activities.

The property view was what was advertised. Spectacular sunsets. However the furniture shown is not what was in the unit. It was in need of deep cleaning. The curtains all needed to be cleaned . Their was a lot of dust and cob webs in the upper walls and the fans were dirty. The refrigerator and dishwasher have a lot of rust on the outside and bottom panels. However the beds were very comfortable. The shower stalls in both bathrooms were large and clean. Loved the sit down area of the shower stalls. I would also recommend that in the advertisement of the unit you let guest know that there is an remediate stair case into the living area of the condo as I almost fell forward down the stairs as I was letting in my husband and the suitcase. Was a little surprised to say the least. Once we got used to it we were ok. I would recommend the unity to younger families but would not recommend to seniors. The beach is very difficult to get down to and coming back up was a challenge.But you could not beat the sunsets. Also keep in mind that the island has a lot of chickens roaming around that love to crow at the crack of dawn. Great if you want to go see sunrise not so great when you want to sleep.

Our first trip to Kauai and based on previous reviews was unsure about booking this place. I'm very glad I did. We are a family of 5 (three adult daughters) and the BEST feature is the location/views. There is a beach beneath us that is a hike "Hideaway Beach", secluded, rocky and gorgeous. But, the 1 Hotel beach (sandy, snorkling) is a 20 min walk from the condo. The unit had newer couches than the ones pictured. Yes, the unit is older with basic, worn out appliances and countertops, but everything is functional and clean. Bring your own toiletries and laundry detergent Their supply was not enough for 6 nights. They didn't have a hose/water to rinse off muddy hiking shoes or sandy slippers. We were comfortable with opening windows and the fan. No AC was not an issue. Bedding was adequate. Bathrooms were more updated and clean. Can't say enough about the views. We spent a day on the south side, came home late and there were no parking issues. The parking lot is close and convenient to the front door. Highly recommend doing any excursion allowing you to see the Napalii Coast and while on that side drive and view Waimea Canyon.
