The villa was even better than the pictures or description. Communication with Ron was great leading up to our stay, and the management company he uses has to be one of the best we have dealt with. Communication prior to and during the stay was great along with the unit being one of the best appointed and cleaned short term rentals we have stayed in. The pool was nice, although we spent most of our time seeing the island and only took a dip once. Location was great due to proximity to the airport and made for an easy commute both to the North shore as well as South shore. Highly recommend for both couples and families.

The unit had beautiful views of the ocean and 14th hole on golf course! Was wonderful to have breakfast on the lanai and watch the outriggers and cruise ships go by.Good location near restaurants and half way to North Shore and Waimea Canyon. Would return again!

Lovely, lovely place. The condo was stocked with everything we needed. Loved watching the airplanes (little noise), golfers (that’s a tough hole!), and cruise ships. Hoping to come back again.

Thank you for sharing your home with us! The property is beautiful; the view is spectacular; and all the comforts of home are there. The well-stocked kitchen makes this an easy place to cook when you feel like staying in and the central location enables you to head out to any number of towns under 30 minutes to not only dine out but reach an abundance of activities on the island.

Our stay at Pukalani was spectacular! Our daughter said it was the best vacation she has ever had in her entire life! The view is spectacular and cannot be beat. The unit itself is spacious, beautiful, a gourmet kitchen with everything you would want, ultra comfortable king size beds, and top shelf linens. The pool is an oasis. We have stayed in many, many places on the island of Kauai and this is by far the best! Thank you, Ron, for sharing your home with us!

Amazing View and Great Location

The views on this place live up to the expectations. Absolutely gorgeous neighborhood, close to everything, yet secluded and quiet. The place was fully stocked, large bathrooms, and great amenities. We slept with the window open to the soothing sounds of the ocean and enjoyed the golf course. The host was very responsive!

Wonderful Week at Pukalani

We spend an amazing week at Pukalani! The condo was wonderful. When we were not exploring the island we were on the lanai, which has fabulous views and is a wonderful spot for enjoying your meals. Pukalani is a great location with many amenities near by. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

AMAZING

Outstanding view from this beautiful ocean front condo that is stocked with everything you need. We have been traveling to Kaua’i for twenty-seven years and this is by far the best place we have rented to date. We will come back again and again and again. The owners are amazing to work with and very thoughtful. We highly recommend this property.

Amazing vacation spot!

Ron’s place was immaculate. It was exactly what you see in the pictures. Super close to the airport, restaurants, shops, and beaches. The condo was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. I texted Ron to ask a question and he called me immediately and was very nice. I highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Kauai! We will definitely be back.

Simply amazing condo on Kaua'i

Thank you for sharing your home with us! The condo was simply amazing for our recent vacation in Kauai with friends. The views from the patio were better than expected! When we were not exploring the island, we spent our time on the patio enjoying the views, breeze, and sounds of the ocean. Would 100% look to stay at this place again next time we return. Great location and excellent communication with the owner. Mahalo!

Fantastic place! We loved it! Ridiculously amazing views from the huge lanai, great south beach weather, fun pool and gym, easy fast access to conveniences, beautifully decorated, nice heavy doors, subzero wolf appliances, super clean, great parking, easy scenic drive to anywhere you’d like to go. Nothing but raves! So grateful we found it. Ron is also a great host! We will be back!!!

Thank you for such an amazing stay. I have been coming to Kauai every year since the early 1990s. This is hands down the best view of any place I have ever stayed. The pool area is gorgeous but the room is so incredible you don’t even need to leave. It was immaculate. Thanks for the coffee too! I have never wanted to stay in Lihue all these years, but your place was the exception. I’ll def be back. :) Although there is no beach here, it’s a much quieter laid back and peaceful property than the Waiohai. I love both but these are the benefits here.

Kauai vacation

Condo is exactly as described, beautiful place. We thoroughly enjoyed the complex. I’m not sure if it’s a Covid thing or not but the kitchen didn’t have any kind of seasoning or spices , not a problem at all but have been to some places where everyone dated them and left them for the next group. Someone had reviewed and said that there was a espresso machine, there wasn’t one when we were there. Again no problem as the coffee maker got a work out! We will definitely attempt to stay there again.

We have always leave a full range of spices, but because of COVID they are somehow disposed of. Sorry they were all gone. Espresso machine was in the pantry when we left in April, we will get another when we return in December.

Beautiful location. Just like in the main photo.

The condo is in a great location and the photos are just what you’ll find. Sitting out on the patio in the evening and having a drink was a great way to wind down. I was able to see whales from the patio on two occasions, which was cool. Many places to eat nearby and the fully stocked kitchen worked well. Costco and Safeway within a 10 minute commute. Another note about the weather. This little corner of the island seemed to get the lightest amount of rain. We did have a few downpours but it appeared to rain harder across the way and more frequently as well. It is a very nice location to enjoy Kauai.

Excellent property! Two couples 50 had a wonderful 5 day stay at this property. Views were amazing and as advertised. In the heart of Lihue and close to many activities. Enjoyed the pool and Hualani's for dinner on multiple occasions were that were in the resort \ golf course property. Condo had very nice furnishings and everything that you need in the kitchen! The property was near the airport, so we did get to see plane's landing and lots of helicopters going high overhead on the way to island tours. The noise was minimal from these and gave something interesting to watch while enjoying the incredible views. Condo construction was solid so didn't hear much while inside. I will say we didn't expect all the wild chicken's \ rosters on the island - needs to be the official bird of Kauai. Bonus was the beautiful drive in and out of the property though the golf course with huge trees, flowers and manicured lawn. Overall great stay and can't wait to come back some day.

Rainbows after the gentle shower

I hardly ever give 5 Stars, however Pukalani is that place! We have been here several times and it feels like home. We have breakfast, and any other meals, on the lanai. We watch the sailboats and the cruise ships come in and out. We had our usual rainbow meet us in the morning after a gentle rain. And joyous birds singing all around. Since we both have bad knees now, it was fun critiquing the golfers, and comparing swings. We had a lovely break. Our only regret was not being able to stay on Island longer. Thanks again and again for welcoming us home. I'm sure we will return with our grandchildren when they are more appreciative of the beauty. Mahalo dear friends.

Stunning view

This property is beautiful! We are a group of 4 first time visitors to Hawaii. After a long day of travel, the fatigue melted away once we stepped into the condo. The view took our breath away! We stood on the balcony in awe. Spent every morning drinking coffee and taking in the view. The condo was beautifully furnished and comfortable. I have issues with insomnia but slept like a baby every night. The beds are that comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with anything you might need to cook a meal. The owner also provided very nice beach chairs and bags for a day at the beach. The resort is centrally located. We spent time on each part of the island. Was easy to get around. The condo is near the airport and it was fun to watch planes coming in. Also saw a few cruise ships sail past. The owner is easy to communicate with. I truly hope we are able to return to this beautiful island and stay at this property!
