Why look anywhere else

If you are considering a Hawaii vacation, and you are or you would not be on the vrbo site... If you want the vacation of a lifetime, like the one I will be finishing tomorrow, whatever you do, do not stay anywhere but in Sean's great home. I lived in these islands for five years and have been back here countless times, the beauty of this island is absolutely hypnotic. Sean's beautiful home is right above the bluff down to your own private beach...there is a reason they call it Hide Away Beach...l; You have ocean front view and an incredible view of the Nepali coast as well. Everything is five star... The condo is impressively furnished, extremely comfortable and you will feel immediately "at home" here. I had to go to Maui to work for two days and I could not wait to get back "home". Sean is very easy to deal with, is really concerned about providing an atmosphere that will make your Kauai adventure one you will never forget. I am already making plans to come back... As I said at the start, why would you go anywhere except Kauai and why would you stay anywhere besides Sean's wonderful home. Sean, Mahalo, for truly making this an unforgettable experience. Warmest regards... Ed Adams

Sean and Adrianna's condo had everything we were looking for. We went snorkeling at Hideaways beach, had dinner at the St Regis next door, and visited all the attractions on the North Shore. Thank you for being such wonderful hosts! D + J Chung

Perfect 25th Wedding Anniversary!!

Guest: Nicola G.
Date of Stay: 08/08/11 Review Submitted: 08/30/11

Where to begin...Sean and Adrianna's beautiful, deluxe condo was a second home to our family during our two week stay on the magicial Island of Kauai!! This trip was very special to us...it was our 25th Wedding Anniversary Vacation with two of our three children and we wanted it to be very magical and memorable. The Condo was deluxe...beautifully decorated with exquisite art work and word carvings. The beds were exceptionally comfortable. Infact, I can say...my first night's sleep was the BEST sleep I have had in years. The Kitchen was well equiped with spices and cooking facilities and our children where thrilled to have bedrooms of their own with TV's and DVD's!!. We spent most of our evenings on the beautiful deck over looking the South Pacific Ocean. Birds singing in the morning and Gecko's chirping in the evenings, watching glorious sunset's over Bali Hi while sipping our cocktails or eating our local seafood. We adventured during the day exploring pristine beaches, hikes, kayaking and ziplining...knowing full well we could return home, exhausted to our restful, deluxe condo. Thank you so much Sean and Adrianna for sharing you're home with us. This is one holiday we will never forget and will definatley contact you when we plan our next vacation to Kauai. Nicola, Paul, David and Megan Gosse

Bali Hai Spirit, Lovely Apartment, Helpful Owner

Guest: SJ M.
Date of Stay: 05/29/11 Review Submitted: 08/25/11

Please note, I am recalibrating my rating scale to a very high (neigh impossible) standard for "excellent" (think/imagine Cloony villa on Lake Como...ok, maybe Stephanie Inn, Cannon Beach, Oregon). Good=just fine, VG=really, really like it, E=Nirvana. On my new scale, this is a solid VG This is a lovely, spacious, clean, comfortable, 2 BR/2Bath unit overlooking ocean in Princeville. Hanalei Bay, Bali Hai can also be seen by looking left. Unit has interesting interior design that maximizes views, windows, and breezes. Decor is an artful and comfortable South Pacific theme that I warmed up to once cruising past the remarkable Bali Hai formations on Na Pali coast (Na Pali Catamaran in town runs a fine trip). Location is convenient to tennis (on premises), golf, Princeville supermarket, Hanalei, and all north coast wonders. Books, nice TV, Ukulele, sports gear are nice amenities. As I have "mobility challenges," accessibility features are a consideration. (so skip this section if not relevant).The condo building can be negotiated by semi-ambulatory stair climbers, but it is not for those in a wheelchair. No elevator - multi-level affair with several short runs of stairs. Unit itself is on 2 levels - kitchen, bedroom, baths are 2 small steps above LR/DR. it was a pleasure to work with owner, Sean, in arranging our visit. Overall, this was a terrific place for our family to stay on this lovely island and we would love to return. 5 of 5 stars Value 4 of 5 stars Comfort 4 of 5 stars Location 5 of 5 stars Cleanliness 5 of 5 stars Check-in 5 of 5 stars Service Traveling group: Family with Teenagers My age: 50-64 Would I recommend this vacation rental to my best friend?

The reviews are all accurate

This condo was perfect for my wife and I, plus our two adult children. Honestly, there were so many great reviews on Trip Advisor, that I was concerned this condo would not live up to all of the hype. But that was not the case. Sean and Adrianna have created a lovely home on one of the most special places on the planet. We truly enjoyed everything about Puu Poa, Princeville, Hanalei Bay, Napali Coast, etc, etc. My son and I hiked over 18 miles on trails and snorkeled almost every day. We also played tennis a lot, as there are courts just outisde the front door of the condo. If you are determined to stay on the North Shore near Princeville, then you will love staying in this condo. It would be perfect for a family of four or two couples. It's also a very quiet place with awesome views. The owners are great hosts and have everything you need to make your visit very comfortable.

Fabulous View From This Great Condo

Guest: yaffay (McDonald, TN)
Date of Stay: 06/19/11 Review Submitted: 07/04/11

My husband and I just returned from Kauai and a stay in this wonderful property. The view was simply amazing. It was wonderful to fall asleep in the master bedroom to the sound of waves and wake up to the sight of the ocean. Lovely mountain views, including a waterfall, were visible from other rooms. The condo had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. We cooked more often than we had planned, simply because it was so nice to sit outside and enjoy the view while eating our meals. Beach equipment, including towels, was also available. The owners were extremely helpful and and easy to work and responded promptly to any questions. It was obvious they take pride in their condo and want others to enjoy it.

Owner response:Thank you Fay for your kind review and thanks again to you and Brian for taking such good care of our Kauai home. We are glad you had such a great time and look forward to hearing from you again. Take care, aloha. Sean and Adrianna

Our family had the pleasure of staying in Sean and Adrienne's condo for a week in January. It was pure bliss. The condo was gorgeous, clean, and fully appointed, and the location and views were spectacular. It was the perfect home base for all of our adventures on beautiful Kauai. We can't wait to return!

Dream Vacation

Thank you so much Sean and Adrianna for sharing your beautiful home with us! My boys and I had a dream vacation that we will never forget, we would stay in your house again and again! The boys insist the snorkeling on the beach below was the best they experienced, Alex was swimming with 3 turtles the first time he got in, imagine his excitement! Avery loved all of the extras that you have provided including tennis rackets, the lovely pool, the beach toys, and of course, the huge TV! For me, it felt like time slowed down for us as we enjoyed the views, the sounds of the ocean, and the fresh air together. We had an adventure every day on the island and we came back re-charged and rested. Thank you so much, Melissa, Alex (15), and Avery (12).
