The views on this place live up to the expectations. Absolutely gorgeous neighborhood, close to everything, yet secluded and quiet. The place was fully stocked, large bathrooms, and great amenities. We slept with the window open to the soothing sounds of the ocean and enjoyed the golf course. The host was very responsive!
Clean, neat, good location! The property has everything you need to relax and unwind. The kitchen is fully stocked with appliances and cooking tools. The beds are so comfortable!
We spend an amazing week at Pukalani! The condo was wonderful. When we were not exploring the island we were on the lanai, which has fabulous views and is a wonderful spot for enjoying your meals. Pukalani is a great location with many amenities near by. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!
The pics did not exaggerate! Beautiful views from the lanai (even when raining). Location was close to all amenities and the kitchen provided almost everything you needed. The owner was wonderful and communicates quickly. Would definitely stay here again with no hesitation!
Outstanding view from this beautiful ocean front condo that is stocked with everything you need. We have been traveling to Kauaâi for twenty-seven years and this is by far the best place we have rented to date. We will come back again and again and again. The owners are amazing to work with and very thoughtful. We highly recommend this property.
This condo is simply amazing. The pictures donât do it justice. Very spacious snd comfortable for two couples.
The view and overall property were outstanding. I would definitely book this unit again. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.
Ronâs place was immaculate. It was exactly what you see in the pictures. Super close to the airport, restaurants, shops, and beaches. The condo was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. I texted Ron to ask a question and he called me immediately and was very nice. I highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Kauai! We will definitely be back.
Thank you for sharing your home with us! The condo was simply amazing for our recent vacation in Kauai with friends. The views from the patio were better than expected! When we were not exploring the island, we spent our time on the patio enjoying the views, breeze, and sounds of the ocean. Would 100% look to stay at this place again next time we return. Great location and excellent communication with the owner.
Mahalo!
Fantastic place! We loved it! Ridiculously amazing views from the huge lanai, great south beach weather, fun pool and gym, easy fast access to conveniences, beautifully decorated, nice heavy doors, subzero wolf appliances, super clean, great parking, easy scenic drive to anywhere youâd like to go. Nothing but raves! So grateful we found it. Ron is also a great host! We will be back!!!
I hardly ever give 5 Stars, however Pukalani is that place!
We have been here several times and it feels like home.
We have breakfast, and any other meals, on the lanai.
We watch the sailboats and the cruise ships come in and out.
We had our usual rainbow meet us in the morning after a gentle rain. And joyous birds singing all around.
Since we both have bad knees now, it was fun critiquing the golfers, and comparing swings.
We had a lovely break.
Our only regret was not being able to stay on Island longer.
Thanks again and again for welcoming us home.
I'm sure we will return with our grandchildren when they are more appreciative of the beauty.
Mahalo dear friends.
Condo is exactly as described, beautiful place. We thoroughly enjoyed the complex. Iâm not sure if itâs a Covid thing or not but the kitchen didnât have any kind of seasoning or spices , not a problem at all but have been to some places where everyone dated them and left them for the next group. Someone had reviewed and said that there was a espresso machine, there wasnât one when we were there. Again no problem as the coffee maker got a work out! We will definitely attempt to stay there again.
The condo is in a great location and the photos are just what youâll find. Sitting out on the patio in the evening and having a drink was a great way to wind down. I was able to see whales from the patio on two occasions, which was cool.
Many places to eat nearby and the fully stocked kitchen worked well. Costco and Safeway within a 10 minute commute.
Another note about the weather. This little corner of the island seemed to get the lightest amount of rain. We did have a few downpours but it appeared to rain harder across the way and more frequently as well. It is a very nice location to enjoy Kauai.
The condo and views are as exactly as advertised and our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Ron's place was spotless, comfortable and included all the "extra's" one typically needs to stock up on when renting. The location is just around the corner from the airport (but not noisy) and convenient to shopping (Target, Costco), restaurants, and beaches. It is also a good central place to easily get to many popular activities and explore the entire island from.
We enjoyed spending time on the lanai and were lucky one day to see a full rainbow after a short rain. We enjoyed watching airplanes and even a cruise ship right from the lanai.
We made daily use of the on-site gym, pool, and walking trails around the beautiful grounds and golf course.
Running Waters Beach is directly below the unit and across the golf course. It is a short walk to get to and a bit of a steep hill to go down but an awesome place for pictures. I wouldn't recommend swimming there because it's quite rough.
We had a couple questions before our stay and Ron responded quickly.
We hope to return someday and highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Kauai!
Our first trip to Hawaii exceeded our expectations. Pukalani at the Marriott Grand Residence in Lihue is a beautiful, well maintained and luxurious condominium, overlooking the Nawiliwili Harbor. We watched several cruise ships glide into the harbor and dock. The beauty of Kauai is overwhelming and we were able to see the very best while sitting at our lanai over our morning coffee. The grounds at the Marriott are stunning and promise to improve, although it is hard to believe it could get much better.
There are several restaurants in the nearby vicinity, and we especially enjoyed our Mai Tais at Duke's overlooking the sunset, located right next to the Marriott. We enjoyed an evening at Smith's Luau, ate Kalua Pork and Macaroni Salad, and watched the multicultural Hawaiian dancers with a small volcano erupting in the background. On our travels to the the North Shore, we had a chance to take in Hanalei Bay where South Pacific with Mitzi Gaynor was filmed, with a stop at the lighthouse bird sanctuary. At the end of the day, after our tourist activities, we we able to come back to our beautiful condo, sit by the pool, watching the palm trees sway with the sounds of a variety of birds. It was like living at Disneyland for a week, only this was the real thing, a true paradise.
Overall, our stay at the Pukalani at the Marriott Grand Residence excellent, and we can't wait to come back to Hawaii.
This property is beautiful! We are a group of 4 first time visitors to Hawaii. After a long day of travel, the fatigue melted away once we stepped into the condo. The view took our breath away! We stood on the balcony in awe. Spent every morning drinking coffee and taking in the view. The condo was beautifully furnished and comfortable. I have issues with insomnia but slept like a baby every night. The beds are that comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with anything you might need to cook a meal. The owner also provided very nice beach chairs and bags for a day at the beach. The resort is centrally located. We spent time on each part of the island. Was easy to get around. The condo is near the airport and it was fun to watch planes coming in. Also saw a few cruise ships sail past. The owner is easy to communicate with. I truly hope we are able to return to this beautiful island and stay at this property!
We had a marvelous time at Ron's place and the island of Kauai. It was even better than the pictures indicated. We did alot of hiking around the island and this vrbo was a wonderful home base. I asked Ron several questions leading up to our vacation their and his responses were quick and very helpful. If ever on the island again, we will stay there without question. Thank you for a stellar vacation!

Ron and Alice's condo is just as described in the listing. It's all about the stunning view, comfortable surroundings and convenient location. We enjoyed waking up every morning and returning each night to this great property. It had everything we needed for a perfect vacation. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!
What an incredible stay! The home had everything we needed and moreâŠ. The views and the home were stunning! We travel using VRBO often and my husband and I agreed that this was the best VRBO experience weâve had! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with usâŠ.. until next time, Aloha!
This property is even more beautiful in person! Although you may be tempted to stay in the beautiful location, the island of Kauai has much to offer! Centrally located in Lihue, you have access to the whole island and then can come back and relax on the lanai or in the pool. Was a fantastic spot for our family of 5!
We kept pinching ourselves the whole time we were there- we loved everything about this property! Not only are the photos totally accurate, it is next level in person. The condo itself is in top notch condition and has everything you could ever need. I had packed paper towel, hand soap, dishwasher pods, etc but they had it all there! The Marriott property was stunning, we loved walking the gorgeously landscaped grounds and enjoyed the beautiful pool as well. The dryer does take a several runs to get towels dry but other than that- NO complaints! Truly an amazing time and blessings that we discovered this condo on VRBO! Thank you to Ron and his wife for sharing your piece of paradise! :)
My wife and I live in the flat area of Central Illinois. We fell in love with Kauai on our first visit in 1976 and have been back many times since then. We purchased this new condo in 2009 as a place to renew our spirit each year, and also to entertain our children and grandchildren. We know Pukalani will do the same for you.
For years on our annual vacations to Kauai, we would take walks by this location and stop and marvel at the beauty of the view. Finally after 12 years of waiting, Marriott built this beautiful condo on the location we have loved for so many years. We purchased early and obtained what we feel is the best view.
The condo is close to great shopping, airport, movies, local farmer's markets, yet it feels so remote and peaceful. The full gourmet kitchen makes dining in a pleasure with a spectacular view. We also enjoy walking the beautiful trails along the Lagoons and watching for wildlife and showy tropical flowers. The ocean is located just outside our door. Free parking is behind our building and only a few steps from our second story condo. Steps and an elevator or available for easy access.
