AMAZING Ocean Front Penthouse in Princeville!

We had a great family vacation and besides the fact that the weather was hot and there was no air conditioning (well communicated in the details), we loved the size and furnishings of this condo. We cooked almost every night and ate on the back deck with beautiful views. They do probably need to invest in a new refrigerator. It really struggled to keep up and stay cool. Other than this, we had no complaints.

The property was awesome and we could not ask for a better location overlooking the ocean watching the sunset this summer! The weather was gorgeous, enjoyed the short walk to Hideaway Beach, great snorkeling location when the water is calm. Close to kayaking and multiple beaches. Such a relaxing time grilling out on the deck and watching the sunset as a family! The property management company sent notes all week long letting us know of local events. Enjoyed talking with Charles, the owner who called to check on us. Top notch! We have been visiting Kauai for 20 years and we would stay here again for sure! I read all the reviews before booking and the person that gave this place a bad review is obviously vindictive and does not represent this place at all. Thanks again Charles for renting this place to us, our family enjoyed it tremendously. Mahalo

I've stayed here before and it's even better than I remembered. I should have booked a longer stay. The view of the ocean from the lanai is absolutely incredible, the pix don't do it justice. And the place was brilliant, super-clean and comfortable, filled with a glorious light in the mornings. I can barely wait to return.

This place is in atrocious condition. Pictures online look pretty good...just not the condition it is in.

The property manager, Kauai Pacific Real Estate, is doing a terrible job. The maintenance and cleanliness of the condo was deplorable. Drapes are falling off the curtain rods and there are no pull cords (looks like a cheap motel). The living room and dining room lights were all burned out or non- functional. (This meant that we could only use 1/2 of the condo after dark.) There were no instructions about how to operate any of the lighting or the TV. The tile floors were so dirty that your feet turned black after walking around for about 5 minutes. (Yes, we leave our shoes at the door.) The rug on the living room floor was worn out, threadbare and filthy, unacceptable in a luxurious rental. We arrived late Friday and called KPRE first thing Monday morning. They said their maintenance contractor would call us. We were expected to make an appointment and work with the contractor to get things straightened out on our own time. We were paying dearly to help them fix things that were broken. Worse, the contractor's guy showed up with no tools or ladders or anything, looked at all the things that were broken and just left. He brought back a single floor lamp later that day...which promptly burned out. Nothing ever got repaired.

Kauai Pacific had the temerity to send me an email saying they just took over the property and they had not heard anything from any renters. Obviously, according to KPRE, all these things magically happened after the last rental and before our rental. The views may be luxurious, but the upkeep and overall condition of the condo were very very poor. Puu Poa is our favorite property in all of Hawaii, but not this unit. I am sure the owner would be very displeased at how their unit is being managed if they only knew.
