About this property

Oceanfront Penthouse Getaway at Pu'u Poa 403

Welcome to Pu‘u Poa — your penthouse in the sky overlooking the endless blue of the Pacific Ocean.
Perched on an oceanfront bluff in the exclusive Princeville community and just steps from the renowned 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay, this top-floor, air-conditioned condo offers panoramic views, upscale amenities, and the perfect base to explore Kaua‘i’s magical North Shore. Enjoy the on-site pool, tennis and pickleball courts, or stroll along the scenic walking path that borders the Makai Golf Course. You’re just minutes from 'Anini Beach, Hanalei Town, Ke‘e Beach, local markets, and lush hiking trails.

Inside this spacious 2-bedroom retreat, you'll be captivated by sweeping ocean views from the open-air lanai, atrium, living room, and even the primary bedroom. Watch waves break on the reef, spot dolphins spinning below, and, in winter, marvel at humpback whales passing through the tropical waters. In the evening, relax on the lanai as the sun dips behind Mt. Makana (Bali Hai), painting the sky in unforgettable color.

The full kitchen is well-equipped with a stove, oven, refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher—perfect for island-style meals at home. The extra-large master suite features a king bed, ocean views, and a luxurious en suite bath with a Japanese-style soaking tub and dual-head shower. The guest bedroom also has a king bed and easy access to a second full bathroom.

The bright and airy living area features a recently upgraded sofa, flat-screen TV, Blu-ray player, high-speed WiFi, and private access. The glass-enclosed atrium offers another serene space to unwind with the sound of waves below and the ocean just beyond.

The Pu‘u Poa complex offers incredible cliffside amenities, including a pool with panoramic views, tennis and pickleball courts, and walking access to hidden beaches. World-class golf, dining, shops, and scenic lookouts are all nearby, making this your complete tropical hideaway in Princeville.

Penthouse in Paradise

Beautiful views as described. Sunset would be better from the south side of the island and sunrise from the east. When you think of a penthouse it is pristine. Beds were very comfortable and kitchen was very nice. On the downside, carpet is stained, masterbath shower doesn't drain properly. A couple other issues were promptly addressed.

Beautiful, comfortable, clean but under provisioned.

We enjoyed our stay. Lovely views from the terrace. Nice ocean front pool. Great location. Good internet and TV service. The terrace had a gas grill, but it was caked with burnt on grease from previous uses. Required two hours to clean, making it safe before use. Also very limited supplies such as paper products and dishwasher/dish washing soap compared with other places we have stayed. Also it would be helpful to have additional lamps for reading.

Princeville Condo Rental

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: Terrific location with amazing view of ocean. Nice complex and spacious 2-bedroom unit. Well provisioned with kitchenware, beach equipment, linens, furniture, etc. Was overall clean, but some visible weather damage inside, carpets stained multiple places, missing/broken screens on windows, and most appliances older, so not refurbished as implied by listing. Overall, a nice stay, but had expected better condition for the price.

Great stay

The condo was very spacious and had everything we needed for a great stay. Beds were very comfortable which has not been the case in other places we've stayed on the island. Walking distance to Hideaway beach, Queens Bath and the Princeville hotel. Only issue we had was that the condo has a small water heater and we were there with a family of four. We couldn't all take a warm shower after a day at the beach. Not a big deal, but just have to space out the hot water a bit. All in all, I highly recommend. I would suggest bringing a blue tooth speaker if you like to listen to music. That would be the only suggestion I would make to the management. A blue tooth speaker or something to stream music on. Thanks for a great stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It seemed like this unit may have just begun being rented. In general a nice place, but it needs some attention in the following areas: - Couldn’t get TV to change channels, emailed owner and did not get a response- DVD not connected- Dangerous chair on lanai, could easily fall over backwards- Step to lanai dangerous, short steps that I stumbled on, and my wife fell- No ice maker- No BBQ - On a positive note, the beds are very comfortable

The view is spectacular. The accommodation has several problems in our opinion.

The property location is absolutely perfect, the view at the ocean every day is spectacular. Exactly what we were looking for. However, it rained while we were at the property and the beams on the ceiling leaked water onto the floor… constantly… when it rains you cannot have the windows or doors open, because the wind will blow the water into the condo. And there’s no air conditioning which makes it extremely humid. Our clothes are damp. Even our passports are damp. The only time the fans help is when you’re in bed trying to sleep. I’m not going to list all the other items these two were major items. I’m not sure when the “Upgrades” happened but this is NOT A LUX property listing. We believe all the humidity and water is what’s causing a lot of the deterioration in this property. The bed was very comfortable. The property manager fantastic.

Nice decor, but not nice enough for the price

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Puu Poa in Princeville is a great location - this is our third stay in this complex and there is not a bad view. Each condo has pretty much the same layout. #403 Meh. Upgraded furniture, kitchen and decor, but no outdoor grill, no AC, living room fan doesn’t even cool ... which is next to an atrium with a glass ceiling that collects a lot of afternoon sun. For the higher nightly rate, these are basics guests should expect. My brother stayed in building 2 - decor not as “Pottery Barn” but they had AC, grill, atrium and same layout and paid a fraction of the cost per night. Master bedroom window does not close and with nightly rain showers we both woke up severely congested and everything felt damp. Disappointing, wanted to love this place.

Cliff top wonder

Rating Details: 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: The apartment is wonderful - beautifully sited to see the ocean and sunsets. The winds keep the place cool, especially with the fans on. It is large and comfortable. The location is perfect for walking to hideaways beach. The pool was nice for cooling off and mellowing out, especially in the evening. We’ve stayed in several Puu Poa apartments over the last 10 years and this one was our favorite (mostly). We really enjoyed our month at the apartment. Our only criticism - a big one - is the weird, completely useless dinner plate size electric grill on the lanai. In a place with no ac, no one wants to cook inside but the grill would not heat up - even after half an hour - not even enough to cook veggies, much less fish or meat. We called oceanfront and they were fabulous, but it’s an owner issue. Otherwise, great stay - clean, roomy, comfortable and ocean waves lull you to sleep. And the limitations on reaching hanalei are not as bad as it might seem in the beginning. It’s easy to get the hang of the rhythm of it.

Superb location but this unit 403 needs some love

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at 6 different units in the Pu’u Poa condominiums, all providing different ranges of decor and care. The top floor provides incredible views, which was a primary driver in our selection of 403. However, the inside of this unit had several indications of less than ideal care of the property. Examples are: significant staining and wear of the primary bedroom carpet (needs replacing), evidence of someone kicking in the secondary bathroom door (hole in the door), splitting of the primary bedroom door, closet doors not shutting or opening easily, and no racks on the refrigerator doors to allow storage of drink bottles, etc. The furniture was adequate and there were plenty of beach chairs and boogie boards for fun days at Hanalei. We always enjoy our stay at Pu’u Poa, but the issues cited show that this unit is not well-cared for. For ~$6000/week, we have seen units in much better condition at Pu’u Poa and would seek those out before renting 403 again, assuming the issues cited above remain.

Beautiful place

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. 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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We ended up staying in a nice 2nd floor unit here. It was comfortable and the views were amazing.We started out in a first floor unit that smelled strongly of mildew which I am allergic to. The only real problem was that the range in the kitchen had an electrical problem. A burner stayed hot even when it was turned off. My husband found the electric panel and flipped the switch. It was late on Father’s Day evening and we did not want to bother the man guy. I reported it and someone was supposed to come by and try to fix it. No one came and when i contacted management they were insistent that we had forgotten to leave the key in the lock box so Maintence could get in. Three of us were there when we put the key in. And besides we were easily contactable by phone. But rather than just saying “Oh sorry, let’s try again” management tried to make me feel like it was our fault. That’s poor customer service in my book.

Beautiful view

Yes, the view is amazing. You can watch the whales right from the balcony. As others have said, it’s a bit of a trek down to the beach, and I wouldn’t recommend after a rain, but we did it in flip flops and a drink in hand... it’s not THAT bad! This particular property could use some attention though. It’s only been tended on the surface-and not all of them at that. The cupboard faces were filthy-we had to clean before we felt comfortable touching them. The deck edges were caked with grime (the deck below us was not), the barbecue leg was broken and the barbecue itself was, well, pretty gross inside, and there was nothing to clean it with The stove had a hard time coming up to temperature-so be prepared to eat late. And the amenities were certainly not what we are used to from other vrbos. Cooking supplies were non existent-not even cooking oil. The impressive spice rack is completely empty. The outside shed had a couple (only) old chairs, broken snorkeling gear, and a couple unbroken boogie boards. There was lots of sand play toys though, if you have kids. There is no air conditioning, but the nights cool off so we were comfortable. The Wi-Fi didn’t work but my sister is a tech, so she figured it out. The property manager only responded Monday morning (we checked in Saturday), and it’s a good thing my sister had fixed it, because the property mgr emailed (um, said I didn’t have wifi so could they please call), suggesting I was using the wrong password. I am thinking Wi-Fi wouldn’t have been avail for a different set of guests. We still enjoyed our stay, these are just nit picky things-in case the reader is nit picky too. We have just found that other vrbos (for less money) had more to offer. But the view?? Now THAT can’t be beat :). And heck, you’re in Kauai! If you don’t enjoy that all by itself, well, I can’t help you there! Aloha!!

Beautiful views, spacious condo

The condo is very large, well equipped (bring your own sharp knife though, if you like to cook). There is a full ocean view from the spacious lanai but also from the rest of the front . Beautiful Hideaway Beach is below, although access is currently difficult. It was very hot while we were there , and, with no air conditioning it did get warm in the afternoons but there are ceiling fans and standing fans. It is very comfortable; a bit dated, but that's not an issue for us in a vacation rental. We had a problem with the television and it was VERY promptly and efficiently dealt with. We didn't find the WiFi to be very good. It's a very short walk to the Princeville Resort . We enjoyed having drinks at sunset there one night. The sunset watching from the lanai is spectacular though. Be aware that the room rate is misleading. All the various fees and taxes really add up. Also be aware that a half day rate may be negotiated if your flight leaves at night. We would happily rent this condo again.

Lovely property with only a few negatives.

Puu Poa 403 is a lovely, comfortable property with a gorgeous view. The beds are wonderful and perfect after a day enjoying the beautiful island of Kauai. Everything you need is provided in the kitchen. The bed linens and bath towels were of a high standard. There were plenty of board games and books available, a very good selection of TV stations, and good internet service provided. However, there were a few things that were neglected but can be fixed very easily. Several of the kitchen knives in the knife block had obviously not been washed, there was dried, crusty food on them. There were also fingerprints on the kitchen cabinets. Housekeeping needs to pay a little more attention to cleaning the kitchen. Several of the screens on the windows had holes in them or had torn. We hated to open those windows because of letting bugs, lizards, etc in. (we already had one resident lizard). The awning on the second bedroom window was missing, not a huge deal but not much shade for that bedroom and just looked neglected. There was one dining room chair missing , again not a huge deal for us but also looked neglected. The umbrella stand on the lanai was broken and we were constantly afraid the wind was going to catch the open umbrella and turn the table over. We reported this upon arrival, since it was late Saturday we were told someone would be by to look at it the next day. The problem was not fixed only a “make do”. We never heard from the property management company to see if it had been properly fixed or not. A good second fan would have been nice in the living room since it did get very warm in the afternoons. We were asked several weeks before our arrival if the owners could come by and retrieve something out of the owners closet at a specific time on Monday after we checked in on Saturday. It was not a huge deal and reluctantly we said that would be OK. However, it was a slight inconvenience to have to leave at the given time. Maybe they could have retrieved their item while no one was occupying the residence? This is truly a beautiful property and we enjoyed our week there very much and we would definitely return. When you spend $300.00 plus a night for accommodations you expect everything to be in good working order and very clean , which for the most part was. There needs to be some attention to detail to make this property truly special.

Great week at Puu Poa #403

Overall # 403 was great however it could use some special attention beyond weekly cleanings between rentals. Two fans in the bedroom did not work and the master Bedroom ceiling fan had only one speed (very slow). Patio Grill was very dirty, I spent an hour cleaning the holes in the grill from past grilling. The Patio screen doors seem worn out and the Master Shower has an area where water stands from past showers (stained). The internet is very slow, only good for email and simple internet use. TV channels for the rainy days was great, many choices. Many games to play with family on rainy days. Kitchen had all you need for meals each day.
