Overall the condo was amazing, 2 BD, Kitchen, 2 bath, great sunroom and balcony, right on hideaway beach. Being on the N. end of the island is very nice and quiet, great access and close to other great beaches and hiking. Only about 1hr from the airport which is nice. Hideaway beach right behind the hotel is a very nice beach, the pool is a nice afternoon resting place. Many good restaurants, close to stores and other activities. Great place, location, and planning on staying again. The owner made the whole process very easy.
The room was clean and the view was amazing. As everyone has said, it was a great place to stay. I mainly stayed here for golf, but it was very convenient and I would like to stay here again.
The property is in a great location above Secrets beach, great to hike down to so close. Itâs practically next door to the 1 Princeville hotel that has gone through a complete renovation and it is beautiful. I look forward to my next stay at the beautiful condo, canât wait!! It has nice accommodations everything you will need to sleep and play.
We loved hearing the ocean waves from our condo. We enjoyed playing pickleball on-site. Fun being walking distance to Hideaways and Puu Poa Beaches. Thank you for a fabulous family vacation
Great value! Great owner as well. The property has all the beach stuff you need (chairs, umbrella, beach toys, snorkels, etc.) and the condo is located directly over Hideaway Beach (like directly). Amazing views. We would definitely rent here again and can't say enough positive things about it.
My wife, her sister, and her husband stayed here for a week and we had an amazing time! Great location, very clean property, and the view is amazing!
Plenty to do with the pool, tennis courts, and a hike down to a pair of hidden beaches. Hanalei Village is a very short drive away with plenty of shopping and places to dine/drink. I highly recommend a stay here. Whenever anything came up that needed attention, the owner was on top of it and was very good with the communication.
5 Stars! Aloha'!
Amazing location. On a cliff side overlooking the ocean. Beautiful views. Saw whales. It is the season. Watch surfers. On clear nights the stars were spectacular. The area itself is very nice. There are 2 beaches within walking distance- one easy to get to - the other is for the very fit. A very steep hill with rope supports. Short drive to the beach town of Hanalei which has a couple of nice restaurants, fabulous long shallow beach. The place itself is very spacious and well appointed. Lots of towels - beach and bath - large bathrooms, comfortable bed. Good closet space. Kitchen was well supplied. The expected basics were all there.Weber gas bbq which was well used for dinners. Large lanai with seating for 6. Good washer and dryer. Check in was easy. Had no reason to contact host so no opinion on responsiveness. All the initial instructions provided covered everything .Bottom line - we would return to this property in future were we to return to Kauai
What a beautiful location! Really incredible property directly above Hidaways beach. The views are spectacular and the condo was very comfortable and well equipped. Itâs also the closest private residence to the 1hotel entrance, which is hands-down, one of the top luxury resort locations worldwide. Itâs a five minute walk to world-class dining, and literally some of the greatest views anywhere. Hideaways beach has some of the best snorkeling on the island and is relatively low traffic, thanks to the steep path to the beach. It can be a little treacherous down to the beach when itâs wet, but my pregnant wife and seven-year-old made it down multiple times with no issues. Overall a wonderful stay and an excellent deal considering the value of this property.
Good location and good views but lack of cleanliness
Good location and good views....yes! of course!.......but not maintained at all......
Lanai was full of sand (not swept, not washed and not maintained), all the windows from Lanai and from the side of the kitchen/living room not cleaned at all from a long time ago (inside and outside) (you can not open the curtains and see the great side views (a pity...)), and kitchen (dishwasher old and very dirty, kitchen handles not cleaned in a lot time...etc....).
You have other options in the same condominium.....
This place is a No for me ⊠but i see why some like it.
the owner took a while to accept our booking ~ but VRBO took our insurance money ~ that was scary.
but it worked out i 2nd attempt.
as we loaded our luggage in ~ a big Heavy piece of a palm tree feel right on our luggage. (i have a video)
not the owners fault but theres a reason peopel pay good money to prune palms.
we go in. NICE VIEW!
And the. I realize. IT HAS NO AIR CONDITIONING I FORGOT TO CONFIRM AND ITâs Hooooottt IN THERE. No air flow and Kauaâi is getting hotter.
(my fault)
The REAL ISSUE IS ITS c+ level clean at best
back room smells funky / mildewey
Theres ground up piece of candy on the carpet. so we move the carpet.
as we lift it UP
all this dirt falls out.
Then we notics all the carpets have sand and dirt.
The cleaning lady comes back
then i see ants
all kinda stuff
too much to over look.
i call vrbo they put me on hold for 25 min no answer
so tonight im paying for both: Hotel and condo. i DO see what people like about it
but its a no for me.
CLEANING can confirm I never slept there.
own is free to reimburse me or not. i chose not to spend my shirt vacay arguing and waiting on the phone.
again. NO for me.
Our stay in this property was phenomenal. The unit was superduper clean, very well outfitted (especially in the kitchen where there was everything you could possibly wanted.)And the view absolutely stunning. Owners were very responsive. Highly recommended.
We really enjoyed our stay here, the sunset view was amazing and the decor inside was very tasteful.
There are a couple of beaches walking distance away (although hideaway beach is very steep) and we felt the North coast offered the most spectacular views on the island. We would definitely stay at this property again.
The former St Regis hotel is being renovated down the road but we were not disturbed by any construction noise.
Very comfortable, spacious 2bd/2bth condo for family of 4 for 6 nights. Well equipped kitchen. Two beaches (Puu Poa Beach & Hideaway Beach) within 10 minutes walk. Easy access to Hanalei attractions. Lanai view is undeniably best feature.
Beautiful place, Beautiful view and perfect location! They only thing that lacked was no AC but the fans helped at night. Otherwise it was a perfect place to stay.
The one vacation destination you actually will visit again
Perfect location perched above the sea, peaceful mornings and picturesque sunsets. The beach below was perfect for snorkeling with lots of tropical fish and sea turtles. Very nice property, clean and comfortable, no complaints!
We loved our time at this property. Spectacular views of the ocean right above Hideaway beach and just a few minutes drive from a grocery store and shops made this place ideal for us. The property is super clean with comfortable beds and spacious dining, living, and bathroom spaces. I wouldnât hesitate to come back.
As we entered Joeâs lovely home in Puâu Poa, we were struck by the nearness of the beach from a satisfying elevation. The trade winds did not disappoint us, as we enjoyed their refreshing cooling impact every day. Being close enough to the water to hear the surf continually was so healing. The accommodations were so clean and comfortable, the kitchen perfectly stocked. We canât wait to return. Thank you, Joe!
The unit was very spacious for our group of 4 adults. The buildings are a bit dated and several units were being remodeled (construction noise) during our stay. However the stunning ocean view easily distracted us! We practically had the property pool to ourselves most of the time. We were lucky enough to see TONS of whales and albatrosses from every window facing the ocean as well as the spacious lanai. Only serious down side to the property is the poorly lit stairs/walkway to the unit.
