Perfect Princeville location
This was perfect for our family. Near the main highway and only a few minutes from Hanalei. The beds were comfortable and the all the items that we could possibly have needed were included in the home. We would definitely stay here again

Cannot wait to return!
This place was perfect for us - 2 adults, 1 child - to explore the North Shore. Walking to Nourish Hanalei for the food and the view was a favorite, then winding up then down again to the beach. Grocery store also within walking distance. The surroundings are lush and beautiful. Hanalei is a short drive. The house was comfortable, super clean, and just as described. We loved having use of a full kitchen and laundry during our stay. Beds were both very comfy. When we return to Kaua'i we will be looking to book here again. Thank you!

Stayed with our infant son and had a wonderful time. All amenities are in great condition, including a fully stocked kitchen which made eating at the home very enjoyable given proximity to grocery stores and local markets/vendors. Hosts were always quick to respond. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Home
The house was beautifully decorated and very clean. The location was perfect for our stay to access all the beautiful beaches on the north shore and the great restaurants in Hanalei. The house was well equipped with beach gear and we were able to prepare lovely dinners every night that we did not go out. I would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely townhouse. It was very clean and comfortable. It has Mt. views from lanai and bedroom, and beautiful wood floors throughout.

As described and more!
The property was beautiful, fully stocked, everything we needed was provided. The beds were very comfortable enjoyed the breezes in the evening. The location was perfect, quit neighborhood, after a day of traveling around the island we came back planned the next day it was relaxing. Communication with Mandy and Jim was actually the best I have had in 3 trips to the islands. Not that I needed anything, but they checked in just to be sure. I would certainly recommend this property.

Princeville Paradise
This property was the perfect spot for our Princeville vacation. It felt like home immediately: spacious, clean and very comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped and made our preference for home-cooked meals so much easier. Good access to the Princeville Centre and its abundance of services and resources. The complex is beautifully landscaped and well maintained and we met some friendly neighbours! It was easy to walk down to the old Club Med property and get to the lookouts and perfectly shaded beach areas. Highly recommend the food truck at the end of the road: Nourish Kaua´i! Mandy was very responsive to questions by text message. Mahalo!

Perfect vacation home
A very nice place to stay for vacation with all necessary amenities. We were impressed by the thoughtfulness of the host in every detail: More comprehensive Kitchen tools than we have ever encountered in a vacation home incl such things as cling wrap and a bottle of olive oil. Beach towels, beach chairs (2), super modern washing machine and dryer, and even a dish washer. The house was clean and modernized, with enough space for the three of us. Just be aware there is no AC, only fans. The upstairs bedrooms could get quite warm in the afternoon and early evening but not so bad as to prevent us from sleeping at night as it has been in other places on Hawaii.

Quaint location, minutes away from Hanalei
Had a great stay during our trip to Kauai. The inside temperature was very hot when we checked in. The windows have to stay open to allow the breeze to pass through, as there’s no A/C. It ended up not being an issue for us, as we were out most of the day and only coming back in the evenings once it had cooled off anyway. I loved the proximity to Hanalei and made daily trips to a cute coffee shop there. It’s definitely a long drive to the other parts of the island (45min to Lihue/1.5hr to Waimea.) So plan well or split your stay according to what you’re going to be doing while you’re there. This is my third time to Kauai- highly recommend seeing Nepali by helicopter, the cave tubing with Kauai Backcountry Adventures & hiking the Sleeping Giant Trail.

OK for the budget traveller- but bring ear plugs
Comfortable but the description is exaggerated. Property is in very 'tired' condition and in need of some maintenance. Only 'surface clean' and the place smelled bad until we cleaned under the kitchen and bathroom sinks with Lysol. Furniture is worn out / damaged. Toilet in main floor bathroom is situated so tight to the shower stall that only someone less than 4 feet tall can actually sit on it. Location is good except that it is right on Hanalei Plantation Road which is a very busy artery from Princeville with traffic that starts roaring past at 5:30 am about 80 feet from the master bedroom windows - hence the need for earplugs - well, that and the roosters that are everywhere on the Island. Kitchen pretty well equipped but pots and pans were in rough shape. Overall it was just OK which was a bit disappointing given the description. We have done many vacation rentals over the years and have seldom been disappointed at all.

Fabulous everything
My spouse and I have visited Kauai numerous times and were extremely well pleased with this property from the first step of booking to the tidying up and check out process. Spacious and cozy with everything one needs for preparing one’s own meals. The place was really clean and the decor lovely, and as artists, we particularly appreciated the art that decorates the walls. Close to all the things we love in this area. The neighbors were also very friendly which made us feel safe, and their kitty was also friendly. We read the other reviews before booking this place, and they were accurate. Would stay here again! Very cordial and speedy replies from the owners. So grateful! My partner when reading my recap to him said, perfect!

Modern property with good location
This townhouse had modern amenities and charming decor. Recommends from the owners made it easy to get a good feel for both Hanalei and Princeville. They keep an excellent set of guidebooks available to all guests as well as personal notes for walks and supplies which were most helpful. Be sure to see "The Ruins" and have a first class lunch at the snack shack at the fork.

Excellent stay
This fantastic condo is a must check. Near the Hanalei Bay and Princeville, you can’t beat its location. Spacious and comfortable rooms. The master has a nice walk in closet. Kitchen is well equipped with all the basics. The only thing to be aware of is that it does not have an AC and the upstairs bedrooms can get very hot in the afternoon/evening. However, with fans in every room and good ventilation, it is very manageable. Looking forward to coming back in 2023!

We love staying at this condo. It feels like home each time we come. This is our third stay.

Restful stay in Action-Packed Kauai
Our stay in this well-appointed Princeville location was exactly what we had hoped for and wanted during our time on this lush island. Easy to find, and close to any services needed, we appreciated the tips provided by Jim and Mandy about local spots. Adventuring to nearby Hanalei and hiking into Haena SP to Hanakapia'i Beach was a highlight, and returning "home" to cook dinner "in" and relax was a joy. We also took a very special helicopter tour on Blue Hawaiian, and two catamaran sails with Holo Holo Charters, all of which added to our experience of seeing the Na Pali coast by land, air, and sea. Come and make your own memories, it was a truly magical time!
