Let me just start by saying that this property is impeccable. The condo is situated in a prime location with breathtaking views and walking distance from the golf course. The whole check in/check out process was a breeze with clear instructions and extremely well organized. They were so gracious to allow us extra time to check out due to unforseen circumstances. Now for the gorgeous condo. Not only is it specious, well thought out and spotless, but the owners anticipated all the wants/needs of someone that is on vacation. We had everything...and I mean everything we needed. Don't hesitate to book this property. It deserves all the stars.

Great Unit!

We stayed in this Nihilani condo (32C) for 9 nights June 2023. It was well equipped and very clean. The location is great and close to several north shore beaches including Ke’e, Tunnels, Hideaway, Sealodge and Anini. The property manager Hawaii Life was very responsive. Would definitely stay here again.

Great to have a garage, powerful and quiet air-conditioning, and plenty of room to spread out. Conveniently located near the entrance to the community and the pool, but not too close. Prompt communication from The property management.

Our family of four spent three weeks here in September and had a wonderful time. The unit is right next to the pool, which made it incredibly convenient, yet surprisingly quiet most nights. The pool typically cleared out by 10 p.m., so noise was never an issue.The condo was spotless, the beds were very comfortable, and the air conditioning kept things cool and pleasant. We loved the balconies and outdoor seating — perfect for morning coffee or relaxing in the evenings.The location couldn’t be better — just a quick 10-minute drive to Hanalei Bay, and the Nihilani complex itself is beautifully maintained. We had perfect weather during our stay and really enjoyed every day. This is one of our favorite places to stay on Kauai, and we’ll definitely be returning. Thanks to the host for a great experience.

One of the best VRBO properties we've stayed at

We have stayed in VRBO properties all over and many in the Princeville area before. This one was the best! Kitchen supplies, bedding, furniture, etc were all more than adequately supplied and high quality. We appreciated the extra puzzles and games that we used late in the evenings. This is a great location for all things needed on the north shore of Kauai. Thanks for sharing this incredible property.

Great condo!

This condo is one of the best we have ever stayed in! It is clean and everything feels new and like you are in a home away from home. The rental company was great at communication and taking care of issues. The a/c was broken when we arrived, but they were aware of the problem, already had someone out to look at it and it was fixed a few days into our stay. Would highly recommend this property and will definitely stay here again!
