Alii Kai I, Mountain View Condo sur Spectaculaire Ocean Cliff

Wendy's condo was spacious and perfectly situated on the north shore. Across the street are views of the cliffs and the ocean. Queen's Bath is an easy walk from the condo, while Anini Beach and Hanalei are quick drives away. Instructions for check in were easy and the welcome package Wendy sent was fantastic. Wendy takes about 48-96 hours to respond (a bit slower than we are used to). Only complaint: we were not convinced that the kitchen and bathrooms were properly cleaned prior to our arrival. Luckily, there are LOTS of cleaning supplies available to use. I re-cleaned the toilets, showers, and any pots and pans. Otherwise, a fantastic stay!

The vacation was outstanding. Plenty of things to do. The north shore is the best location in my opinion on the island. The condo was clean, comfortable and very well equipped. Beach towels, mats etc supplied (in closet) along with books and games for the inevitable rainy days - come on, it is the north shore of the rainiest island. Little things like that make it easier to pack and provide the extra edge to go from a good vacation to a great vacation. Wendy was very accommodating and was a great host.

We were pleasantly surprised by the complex and the condo at Alii Kai. It is a ground floor unit with the lanai facing towards a forest ravine. The privacy, views, and solitude were wonderful with many animals including nenes wandering onto the lanai. A very short stroll around the back of the buildings quickly brings you to the cliffs where public lawn chairs welcome you to enjoy the view. The unit being 2 floors only was very quiet with the only sounds disrupting our peace being the necessary maintenance staff with their equipment during the day. Wendy's unit met all our needs being well stocked with towels, beach accessories, linens, books, and thankfully puzzles which came in handy on the rainy days (most rain we have seen on this trip to the island). The Alii Kai is a bit dated being an older complex built on prime land looking over the cliffs. While some items could be described as dated in Wendy's unit all the important pieces have been updated. The bed was very comfortable, the fridge,stove, dishwasher, tvs, laundry units have been updated recently and the unit was clean making our stay very comfortable. Wendy's customer service was detailed with clear instructions, recommendations, and weblinks for nearby attractions including restaurants. The Princeville market was good for groceries and included a courtyard with live music which we enjoyed while sitting on a restaurant balcony. Great way to spend an evening. I recommend Wendy's rental and will be contacting her in the future when we plan to revisit this remarkable island. This is our second trip and we managed to explore the Waimea Canyon(breathtaking), and the mahogany plantation hike. The 1812 built waterfall at the plantation is a beautiful picture postcard.

A great place to stay, had everything we wanted. Nice and clean, our own parking spot, well equipped kitchen and barbeque, towels, beach equipment and a nice pool area about one minute walk away.

Wendy was a great host, responded quickly on emails and gave us good advice on stores, restaurants and activities.

We loved the condo and our stay there! Although the condo is not ocean view one can walk across the street and enjoy that view. We really enjoyed the view of the “mountains” and the lush vegetation. The nenes and chickens regularly came by. The condo is comfortable and we appreciated the coolers and beach chairs. Recommend for a stay in Princeville.
