We really enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was exactly as described and spotless when we walked in. Waking up to crashing waves and Nene made it special. Everything we needed was included and whether we were relaxing on the lanai or exploring the island, this is a place we’d happily come back to.

We had a wonderful stay and couldn't have asked for a better spot. The condo was comfortable and nicely furnished, with everything we needed to feel right at home. It's clear the property is well maintained — everything was clean and in great working order.The views from the lanai were a daily highlight. We spent our mornings and evenings out there enjoying the scenery and the sound of the ocean.The location is fantastic, with easy access to the beaches just a short walk away. Hotel 1 being just a few steps away also made it easy to grab cocktails and dinner or a morning coffee. We'd absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

We love the location of the Puu Poa condominiums. Richard's unit is an exemplary example of a comfortably furnished and clean space in that complex. Beds are extremely comfortable as are living room, solarium, and lanai furniture. The kitchen is well stocked. We'd definitely consider staying there again if a return to Princeville is in the cards for us.

I have stayed at Pua Poa 10 or 12 times. At one time , I lived just around the corner. Host was good. He fixed the door while I was there. The unit is tired! They lead you to believe it's been remodeled but it's really not. They added a few things that were haphazardly done.

Hello Kent I have discussed your review with the VRBO's account executive and was encouraged reply directly to you. First, I have owned Puu Poa since 1991, the interior designs, furniture, fixture and the layout are based on my wife and I's personal tastes (it's our second home! neither the hotel room nor time share unit). Our neighboring unit(s) that you claimed stay in the past were purchased and renovated according to the trendy construction materials and interior furniture inventory available in the marketplace for the past 10-15 years. I replaced my furniture every 5~7 years! Second, I recently have had windows of both bedrooms, kitchen and dining room replaced. The project initiated in last summer; however, all windows were custom sizes manufactured in mainland, shipped by boat to Kauai and finally finished the installations last month, after your departure. Giving the continuous 5-Star reviews given from the guests who stayed in the unit after your departure, your comment to me is more or less personal? rather than the overall experience! Regardless, I am sorry that my unit did not meet your expectation. Mahalo

Amazing setting

We spent four days at this property in early February and loved our time. We saw whales throughout the day while sitting on the lanai, the unit is spacious and clean, and the host was readily available. This was a great property and we would definitely stay again.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
We recently stayed at this condo hoping for a peaceful Hawaiian romantic getaway with a great view. Unfortunately, during our visit, there was a lot of ongoing maintenance with workers on-site most days. It led to quite a bit of noise and obstructed the view we were excited about. I’d recommend checking with the host before booking to see if the work is finished. The unit is nice and adequately clean, but the place is dated and a bit tired and needs to be updated to bring the condo up to a much fresher and nice/modern place. Once refreshed, I think this place will shine again, but guests should be aware of current conditions. The location itself is great, but not on a beach; it sits on a cliff, which has amazing views of the ocean. There is no easy access to the beach.

Aloha Andrea, First, I apologize for not reply back to you sooner. Second, the condo association has been going thru the exterior painting project since January this year. During your recent stays, the painting accompanied with concrete spalling repairs were supposed only worked on the parking lot side of the building as told. However, the contractor made the change order to include the west side of the building II's wall, where the unit's situated. If I knew the change order before your arrival, I would have advised you. Unfortunately, I do not live on Kauai myself to know the daily job progress! That's been said, from now on to August 4, the contractor will not return to the building II for any further works (they are working on the building I before returning to work on the ocean side of the building II). This time would be great opportunity for anyone who is interested in spending the summer vacation here! Additionally, I appreciate your two cents of my second home; the interiors are based on me and my wife's personal tastes though we do work on some upgrade. Photos on the website are all current - What you see is what you get. Finally, in the event of your plan for the future return to Puu Poa, I would be happy to offer you some discount or complementary, Mahalo for your understanding.

Originally from Philadelphia. Lived in Hawaii since 1974. My wife Rosaline and I have been married for 30 years and going. We live in Honolulu. Puu Poa is our getaway second home. I was an entrepreneur owned multiple companies, with my wife who served as the Controller/CFO. Currently, I serve as a lobbyist for a national real estate property management company for Hawaii, besides being an instructor for real estate continued education for realtors, expert witness for lawsuits, and US subchapter 5 bankruptcy trustee. In 2022, I was appointed by the then Hawaii governor Ige to serve as one of the Real Estate Commissioners for the State of Hawaii, a 3-year term.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with Puu Poa while vacationing on Kauai in 1980s. Eventually decided to acquire the unit in 1990. The place offers unobstructed breath taking ocean views in front of your eyes, the playground of marine mammals, sounds of crashing waves, lightning shows in the stormy night and meteor showers in the summer night.

What makes this property unique

Golf courses, Princeville Shopping Center, fine dining restaurants, Hideaway beach below the property, tennis/pickleball court, hiking to Na Pali Coast, visiting quaint Hanalei town, Kilauea Lighthouse and bird sanctuary, not mentioning surfing, canoeing and paddle boarding on Hanalei River.
