Soak in panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Bali Hai/Makana Mountain, enjoy incredible night skies, and fall asleep to the sound of waves. With 15-foot ceilings and penthouse-level privacy, the space feels bright, open, and truly relaxing.

When it says amazing… It really is. I have stayed at several different condos at Puu Poa over the years… And this one has to be my favorite! Beautiful views, comfortable furnishings, a well stocked kitchen, and lots of extra amenities. With excellent contact from both the owner and the owners agent close by I definitely felt like I was in good hands.

The location of the condo is perfect with beautiful views of the ocean. We watched whales breaching from the balcony in the mornings. It was walking distance to the 1 Hotel which is beautiful and has great food. It’s a quick drive down to Hanalei-a cute town with restaurants and shops. I would always stay in this location while enjoying beautiful Kauai!Condo was spacious and clean and if we had questions the owners were quick to respond. Great experience! Mahalo!!

We had an amazing time in the end of August! Such a treat to wake up to the views of the ocean in the morning and stare at the stars and Milky Way before going to bed at night. Apartment was clean and well appointed with all the kitchen tools to make guests feel at home. Charlie and team were helpful and responsive. Kauai is now our favorite island, and we will certainly be back again!

Right on the beach

This property is everything that it says it is, a top story top notch home away from home. The lanai is exactly as it is pictured and the view is amazing. Sunsets are stunning, whale watching is easy, kitchen and living room is perfectly situated to continue to enjoy the views as is the master bedroom and sitting room. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Hanalei or Princeville

Beautiful & comfortable Princeville Stay

We had a great time at Charles's property. The day before arrival I got a call from the property manager and he answered any questions we had immediately throughout the entire stay. Great place to stay with a group because we got to use the kitchen, outdoor balcony with an incredible view, and main living space thoroughly, and felt so comfortable and at home. Great location and super close to Hanalei and Anini beach, where we visited multiple times. Highly recommend for groups and families.

Pickleball/tennis court on property and two minute walk next door to ultra luxurious 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay.

Excellent Views

The views of Bali Hai and the ocean were magnificent. We saw whales and dolphins from the terrace. We chose to eat out but the kitchen is well stocked for cooking meals. The beds were comfortable. One thing to note is you do have to climb stairs to get to the unit but it wasn’t a problem for our group. Overall it was a very nice condo and we hated to leave.

The best sunset view in Princeville

My wife and I stayed 5 nights to celebrate our 21st anniversary. The condo unit was very spacious, a lot of natural light and a fanastic ocean front view. You can also see the mountain peak that is the begining of the Napali Coast next to the sun going down into the ocean. There were three AC units in the unit that provided plenty of cooling. There were also ceiling fans in every room and a washer and dryer. We really liked Hidaways beach witch was directly down a bluff below us. A trail led down to the beach from the edge of the property.

Perfect location and gorgeous view

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.

Great views and beautiful sunsets

The condo size was great for my family of four. We had to use the pullout sofa bed and my daughter said it was comfortable (could use more pillows in the condo). Kitchen was adequate for cooking meals in which we did a lot since restaurants are sparse or operating hours are short. The pool was nice and hardly used by other guests. We do wish there was a hot tub though. That would be nice in the mornings and evenings. The views is what sells this place! Loved seeing the ocean out all the windows and watching surfers from the lanai. Charles was very good at communicating with us and making sure everything was going well. Great place would come back and stay again :)

Perfection

Our family had the most incredible stay at this condo in Princeville! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning views that surrounded us. Each morning, we woke up to breathtaking vistas and were lucky enough to spot whales gracefully breaching in the distance—an unforgettable sight!The condo itself was spacious and beautifully designed, providing ample room for our family to relax and enjoy our time together. The open layout allowed for easy movement between the living areas and the outdoor spaces, where we spent countless hours soaking up the sun and taking in the lush surroundings.We appreciated the thoughtful amenities and comfortable furnishings that made our stay feel like a home away from home. The location was perfect, allowing us to explore the nearby beaches and trails while also providing a peaceful retreat to return to each day.If you're looking for a place that combines natural beauty, comfort, and space for the whole family, this condo in Princeville is the ideal choice. We can't wait to come back!

Beautiful view, comfortable & well appointed condo

Felt like home! We stayed a month and had a fantastic experience. The unit was very clean, organized and had everything we needed. The kitchen had plenty of tableware and any gadget we needed to cook a nice meal. The grill worked well. Plenty of beach toys, chairs, cooler bag, walking sticks, etc located in the balcony closet. Air conditioning worked really well. At 2000 sq feet this place is very roomy. Of course the ocean view is great, with a mountain view and a pool view all the way to the left. You will need to walk to get to nearby beaches (1 down a steep hill, 1 other down a set of long steps) but you can access several other beaches all within a 15 minute or less drive. Overall this was a delightful place to stay. We hope to be back soon!

You are on your own

We had trouble using lockbox to enter property and called the management company for assistance. They told us they have not managed the property in 2.5 years but just thanks to their kindness, they talked me through opening the lockbox anyway. There were no instructions on how to use the tv/electronics so we ended up using our iPads. Tips on beaches etc were out of date. It’s a beautiful location, and it’s a nice comfortable condo. You can easily walk to a gorgeous beach in front of the 1Hotel resort, or take a difficult hike to another gorgeous beach closer to condo. We would definitely go back and pick a different condo in this complex, as there are many to choose from.
