Nice complex, quaint studio. Lovely pool. Location great for heading north and back to town. Convenient foodland, shops and dining options. Perfect for long weekend.
The studio was spacious and situated on beautiful grounds. It was the perfect location for our vacation on the gorgeous island of Kauai. I would rent it again given the chance :).
Princeville is a great location for walks around the golf course. We had access to the pool, the tenant allowed us to use beach towels, snorkeling gear, sun umbrella and boogie boards. unit is very clean and provided all the essentials, no laundry machines nearby however.
I loved the area of this location. Itâs a peaceful and beautiful location thatâs close to a few beaches, hikes, shopping, and restaurants. The property manager was really helpful and responsive. I had accidentally locked myself out of the property, and the property manager managed to help me back in while also being in a different state at the time. I would absolutely book this place again!
This was the least expensive place I could find on Kauai, but it was still nice: clean, quiet, comfortable, and bug-free (I'm terrified of bugs, and there are a lot in Kauai). It's perfect for a couple, and everything needed was provided, including the bonus items like beach chairs and snorkel masks listed in previous reviews. The owners are being very generous to offer this place at such a low price!
All of supplies we could have wanted seemed to be here. Water shoes in general sizes were very thoughtful.
Thanks so much for letting us stay!

In der Unterkunft hat es stark nach Hund gerochen. Die Duschwanne ist sehr alt und beschĂ€digt. Das Besteck war nicht sauber. Die WĂ€nde sind so dĂŒnn das man jedes Wort der Nachbarn versteht.
Lage und Umgebung super, Zimmer in die Jahre gekommen
Kauai ist eine teure Insel an sich, weshalb das Preis-Leistungs-VerhĂ€ltnis in diesem Fall noch ok ist. Die Lage im Princeville ist super und die Anlage an sich ruhig und gepflegt. Das Zimmer an sich ist auch in Ordnung, der Housekeeper könnte nur etwas sauberer sein (Boden wischen und nicht nur fegen, da der Lappen dunkel war, als ich Wasser aufwischte. Aus / hinter dem KĂŒhlschrank entstehen strenge GerĂŒche, mĂŒsste bitte auch gereinigt werden und die Dusche entspricht leider nicht den Bildern. Der Boden der Dusche ist kaputt und der Duschvorhang schmutzig und benötigen dringend eine Erneuerung.
We were pleasantly surprised to find extra outdoor equipment in the closet.
There were masks, snorkels, a backpack, two beach chairs etc.
This is a nice touch for those of us traveling by air with limited resources once we arrived.
Very much appreciated.
Thank You
Well maintained condo community in a lovely neighbourhood. WiFi performed well, Netflix & ample free parking were appreciated. Owner was very prompt in responding to all questions!
Unit fit our needs. Comfortable and clean with the exception of the shower. Shower needed the mold cleaned and shower floor needed bleached. Did report this directly to owner. (may need a new house keeper). Had plenty of dishes and utensils for the basic microwave, toaster and coffee set up. Unit was was nicely located by pool and plenty of parking. . Owner provided a nice selection of maps and suggestions of local places and provided coolers and beach toys to use, We would stay here again
The Good:
-Beautiful and quiet neighborhood
-Fully stocked with beach gear
-Great pool / hot tub
-Convenient parking right outside room
-Comfortable bed
-Great price for the area
-Foodlands (Grocery Store) right around the corner
-Close to Hanalei
-Lanai was frequented by a friendly cat
The Bad:
-No beaches within convenient walking distance (but many are in close driving distance)
-Room is quite small (perfect for a solo traveler or a couple who don't mind sharing space).
-Lots of clutter below the TV. The spot for the coffee maker was on top of the microwave and adjacent to an electrical tv box. Not ideal when filling up the coffee maker with water and having to be sure not to spill the water onto electrical components.
-I feel like the table is too large for the room, especially considering the previous comment. Why have a 4 person table in a tight room that can only fit 1-2 comfortably? There must be a way to better utilize that space, especially since there is a microwave, coffee maker, toaster, and paper towel dispenser all stacked together below the TV.
-Wished the room had AC during the mid-day heat. Could not rely on the overhead fan or breeze to keep cool.
-Decorative pillows smelled used the first day. I put them off to the side but still worth mentioning. Maybe it was just my nose.
-Fridge smelled strongly of mustard (but worked fine).
I had a wonderful stay and would not hesitate to stay here again if in the area. Please take my criticisms constructively, none of them were significant in my opinion and I only bring them up to try to help improve the guest experience. Mahalo!
We really enjoyed the island of Kauai. Sadly our room was not as enjoyable. The shower was very dirty. All of the kitchen ware was dirty. It was very hard to get ahold of the property manager. There was no ac but a box fan which we assumed ac would be present even though not listed. Overall for the price it was disappointing as we stayed there for 9 nights. Luckily without the low price we couldn't have afforded this honeymoon. So an OK room for an amazing trip.
Your location was perfect in size and location for us. I would say our only comments would be to add an ironing board and a second key for additional guests. Also the shower floor could use an update. We just werenât sure if it was dirty or not. Otherwise we would definitely stay there again, very charming little place.
After traveling to Kauai since 2002 for vacation, and after buying the condo in Princeville in 2015, we decided it was time to become more committed to the ocean lifestyle my wife and I both love. So, in 2020 we moved to Kauai from Park City Utah during Covid to be closer to the ocean and to have summer year round. With a mother born and raised on the island of Bermuda, my love for island life started early while visiting her parents, my grandparents. And my wife, a 'left-coaster', spent her youth day tripping with her family to Oregon's beautiful Pacific Coast. And now that we live on Kauai, we are afforded an easier opportunity to interact with our guests. As a former Hotel GM, it is important to me and my wife that the guest fully enjoys their island experience.
Kauai's north shore is the location dreams are made of and our studio condo is situated in the heart of this very special place. It is close to all the North Shore has to offer, from beautiful beaches to scenic golf courses, breathtaking waterfalls, Kauai has it all.
