About this property

Pu'u Poa #305: 2 Bdrm/2 bath Direct Ocean & Sunset Views. Whale Watching!

  • Pu‘u Poa #305 is a spacious ocean-view condo located within the exclusive cliffside community of Pu'u Poa in Princeville on the lush North Shore of Kauai. Perched above the Pacific Ocean, this beautifully situated residence offers sweeping panoramic views of the coastline, turquoise waters, and the iconic Bali Hai horizon, creating a constantly changing backdrop of sunrises, sunsets, and rolling surf.

    The condo features a generous open-concept layout designed to highlight the ocean views from the main living spaces. Large sliding glass doors open to a private lanai, where guests can relax with morning coffee, enjoy sunset cocktails, or watch whales during the winter months. The interior blends island-inspired comfort with practical design, including a well-equipped kitchen, dining area, and inviting living room ideal for unwinding after a day exploring Kauai.

    The primary bedroom offers a peaceful retreat with a calm, coastal ambiance, while additional sleeping arrangements make the unit suitable for couples, families, or small groups seeking extra space and flexibility. Natural light and gentle trade winds enhance the relaxed, airy feel throughout the home.

    Guests at Pu‘u Poa #305 enjoy access to community amenities, including a swimming pool and beautifully maintained grounds. A scenic walking path provides access to Hideaways Beach, a secluded cove known for its striking beauty and seasonal snorkeling conditions when the ocean is calm.

    One of the highlights of this location is its walkable access to the nearby 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay, offering convenient dining, spa experiences, and resort amenities just moments away. The condo is also close to golf courses, coastal trails, and scenic lookouts, with the charming town of Hanalei only a short drive down the hill.

    Pu‘u Poa #305 is an ideal North Shore retreat for travelers seeking elevated oceanfront living, dramatic views, and a rare combination of privacy and walkable luxury in one of Kauai’s most sought-after locations.

I had a wonderful stay at this Princeville property. The views from the lanai are absolutely stunning, and I was lucky enough to see whales multiple times while sitting outside, which made the experience incredibly special. The lanai quickly became my favorite place to spend time. It’s peaceful and perfectly positioned to take in the ocean views, the changing light, and the whales passing by. I found myself lingering out there often, just enjoying the quiet and the beauty of the North Shore.The setting feels very private and relaxing, and the Princeville location is great for exploring the area while still feeling tucked away. The space itself was very clean and comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped, making it easy to prepare meals and settle in.Communication around check-in was smooth and easy, and the people helping with the property were very caring and responsive if anything was needed. Danielle, who came in to do some cleaning during my stay, was wonderful and added several thoughtful touches that made the space feel even more like home.The only small thing I would note is that the beds may be due for an update in the future. That said, everything else about the property was lovely and I truly enjoyed my time there.

Property has everything you would ever need for your Kauai stay. They recently remodeled the lanai, so any previous comments about the bad lanai don't worry about anymore. Nice additional surprise was the pickleball courts.

Lovely stay at Pu’u Poa

Our group was 2 couples at this spacious, beautiful condo with amazing views. We loved being able to walk to Hideaways Beach to snorkel just below our unit. We were able to navigate the steep descent to the beach, though anyone with physical limitations might have trouble. The ropes along the sides helped us manage. We saw some whales splashing in the distance, even in May! We made good use of the two lanais, having most meals outdoors and used the private BBQ. The pool is great and big enough to enjoy with others present. Note that there is only one portable AC in the back bedroom, that was too noisy to use. The primary bedroom temp was ok with opening the slider and using the fan. In warmer months, it could be too hot. We’d stay here again and highly recommend it.

Place is amazing. Yes, a little dated, but sofas are comfy. No AC, but none needed in this unit. Lots of summer trade winds keeping things super cool at night plus lots of fans! I actually slept cold! Can’t beat waking up every morning to awesome views. And magical sunsets every evening from BOTH lanais! Made you want to cook more from the kitchen! Will def stay here again.

Pu’u Poa, I’m nearly 100% sure, is the best stay on Kauai!

The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This Is the 2nd condo at Pu’u Poa in which I’ve stayed and they were both perfect. I prefer to spread out and have living space when I vacation, rather than a tiny one-room hotel option, and the Pu’u Poa condos are just homey and cozy and Oceanside heaven. Two beds, two baths, great kitchen/dining area, fantastic living room and two breathtaking lanais with the best views you can get. I saw too many whales spraying and breaching to count, watched the fog dance around the mountain and drifted to sleep hearing the waves crash at our shore. The condo was well-appointed, impeccably clean and had a sweetly-Hawaiian/island-style decor that, while a bit out-dated, was still nice, classic and understated, and invited you to just relax and enjoy your life in that precious time and space. Check in and check out was easy, communication with management was a breeze. The new hotel, 1 Hotel, opened up in 2023 and was a fantastic next door neighbor as their restaurants are gorgeous and serve great food, and literally are a 4 minute lovely walk from the condo. I was there for breakfast and dinner every day. The Pu’u Poa condos are quiet, feel very safe and are nestled in a beautiful community. I will definitely be back!

Great location and amenities for family vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo location was excellent. Great view and good size layout. Master bedroom was nice and the bathroom is huge. The beach chairs, boogie boards, beach towels were very appreciated, as well as the extra bedding for the pull out couch. Accessing the condo was easy and plenty of parking. Access to Hideaway Beach and the neighboring hotel beach was super convenient. We also walked to Queens Bath trail. The kitchen was nice and very clean. The owner must’ve read the comments about the pans because they appeared very new. They were great. Plenty of dishes and utensils. The unit was overall very clean. A couple improvements would be to get rid of the lounge/rocker chair in the living room. The arms felt sticky, likely due to all the humidity. The back room window did not open up, so that is a tad claustrophobic. There were fans, though. There is no exterior lights on the patios, likely due to the complex and ensuring people don’t stay outside late and bother neighbors. It was fine for us and we BBQ’d early enough, but something to be aware of. The light bulbs in the dining light and master were glaringly bright, so we just loosened 3/4 and that made it much better. I was surprised that there is no hot tub at the pool area. That seems to be standard. But I suspect this is another way of ensuring that the place doesn’t become a party complex. I would stay here again for sure. Overall very good accommodations for our family.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time celebrating our grandson’s first birthday in Kauai. The location of the condo is superb. The view from the patio is amazing. Dolphins, turtles and those sunsets were spectacular. The layout of the condo is perfect for a family and the kitchen is well stocked and very functional. The condo is well loved and due for some updates. The patio is in need of repairs. The condo was dirty upon our arrival which was disappointing. We are looking forward to our next trip to Kauai
