“Just perfect.” Wonderful location and view. very good size. I miss it. We had an issue on our arrival and the property management company sprang into action and fixed it for us. A+ customer service.

“Princeville gem” We stayed here for a week and enjoyed every minute. The condo was perfect, very spacious, amazing views, lovely lanai.

“Amazing northshore visit..” Loved the property/location; & Cyrila was an absolute joy to work with! :)

“A nice property but crowded and hot” I really like the location of the Pali Ke Kua condo's. Easy walking distance to the princeville beach, view of the ocean and easy access to a walking trail. We stayed in unit 241 which was clean and very nice inside. A little worn in places but overall very nice. Another positive is the 1000sq feet and the two beds in the second bedroom making it perfect for a family with more than one child. On the downside the Pali Ke Kua is a very high density condo building that was built before insulation was required so get used to hearing your neighbors talk, shower, flush their toilets etc. If they come home drunk you get to enjoy that also. I've stayed at the Pali Ke Kua twice and both time I have thought the value is excellent considering the views and location. Just be aware it isn't the most quiet location.

“Wow!” I have stayed in Manish's condo four times now and love it! The location is beautiful. The condo is very spacious and comfortable. It has everything you'd need from home including a closet full of fun stuff like snorkeling equipment, tennis rackets, beach gear and beach towels already there! I appreciate how well maintained and clean Manish keeps his condo! Will definitely return many more times!!

“Great place to stay” Very well equiped with everything you need more than we expected. Very clean, quite and cozy it felt like home. We will come back next year for sure.

“Amazing” My wife and I used the cottage for our honeymoon. Our stay was perfect, the cottage was well located on the best side of the island with shopping, food, gas and beaches nearby. The cottage had all the appliances and amenities we needed for our week stay. There are many places to stay on the island but this cottage is amazing it is your own little place away from the bustling overcrowded homogenized resorts. Our favorite town, Hanalei, was just down the road where the views, bay, beach, shopping and eats were all top notch. Reserving and booking the cottage was a breeze with Val and Bruce, ensuring a worry free trip. I would highly recommend the cottage to any couple wanting to get away, but not be trapped in a resort! My wife and I certainly plan on visiting again. Mahalo Val and Bruce for the amazing getaway!

“Loved It!” Perfect relaxing space. Had everything we needed. We used the BBQ overlooking the ocean every night to grill our fresh fish. Morning coffee with whales and many beautiful Hawaiian birds and even a rare albatross came to visit for a few days. Liked having the separate space for the kids upstairs. Ziplining at Princeville Ranch for my son's 10th birthday was awesome. I hope we can make it back soon!

“A very comfortable home away from home” We spent 5 wonderful days of our 3 week holiday o"here. A perfect spot to be to explore the north part of Kauai. Quiet, clean and comfortable. Everything that we could need to make our stay comfortable was provided. Highly recommend. We will come again if we are fortunate enough to visit Kauai in the future.

“Friendly, clean” Place was great - just as advertised. Only gripe was loud kids at the pool on a couple of nights....

“will go back for sure” it was a great experience great location, great place I will definetly go back

“Recomendation” It would be nice to have ceiling fans in the bedrooms and a light over the dining table. I did not receive a conformation with my room entry code number, had to get security to let us in. A guest from Billings, MT

“A grand place” WONDERfUL!

“E for excellent at Waipouli Beach Resort E406” In a nutshell, this rental was first rate! The place was clean, bed was comfortable, the furniture not dated, the view was stunning, and the pool was sweet. Centrally located with easy access to all the Kauai sites in the north and south. Safeway and Starbucks located directly across the street made getting groceries and coffee mighty convenient. REMAX did an outstanding job with this rental. We were very, very impressed and highly recommend E406.

“Hot at night” The first night was great. But the next morning when we left the condo, we followed instructions to turn the air down and it was never the same after that. We made sure the doors were shut tight. It took about 2 hours for the rooms to get down to a comfortable temp and every night we slept with no covers on because it was too hot. Seems like the air needs to be checked. We were afraid to leave our sliders open even for a little bit becuse it took so long to get the rooms back to a comfortable temp. Also, I see no reason that the kids can't use a kid-sized floaty ring in the pool and I even saw a man sipping a soda at 10 in the morning get reprimanded and told to take his beverage out. The pool was too strict this time making it kid and family-unfriendly. Also, it would be nice if the landscapers with their mowers and blowers could work around the pool hours. We used the pool exactly 1x during our stay. :(

“Awesome place!” We were pleasantly surprised when we entered this wonderful condo. It had all the amenities needed for a fantastic vacation. We were tickled by the roosters and there was one I joked that he probably smoked 10 packs of Pall Malls he sounded so bad. We weren't bothered by it but it may become annoying for others when they roost at 4am. They are all over the island so if you think it may annoy you, I don't think you can escape them. There is a nice trail and the ocean is 50 ft off the lanai and was close to everything. For great BBQ ribs make sure to go to Chicken in a basket and for some of the best ice cream go to Lappert's. We would absolutely stay here again if available on our next visit to Kauai

“Just right” Everything... the location, condition, view, amenities... were just right. There was even Salsa dancing next doormat the aston hotel.

“Kauai was amazing, no words can describe the beauty of it.” We had a wonderful time in Kauai. The unit was clean, had everything there to use in kitchen and bathroom, and poolside. The washer/dryer was convenient for laundry. The view was wonderful and the ocean breeze was refreshing throughout the apartment. It was centrally located on the island to drive to northern and southern shores plus could walk across the street for shopping, etc. Maintenance was handled in a timely manner and everyone was pleasant. Definitely will refer to friends and family.

“Great Unit - very happy here!” Unit 121 at Kaha Lani was absolutely super! Very well equipped, appears to be recently renovated. The only problem is the bathroom needs some attention in future, its OK, but it really needs updating. Kitchen was well equipped & everything we required was there - the owners have put a lot of thought & effort into this unit & it shows! Need a couple of beach mats tho. We left a beach chair there for others to enjoy, hopefully will still be there in 2015! View is also super, great ocean view, eastern exposure so sunrise very nice in the mornings. We liked it here & we booked again for 2015! Garden Island Properties (in Kapa'a) was super also - anything that goes wrong or needs fixing, they do it fast with no hassles! You cannot go wrong at Kaha Lanim - its a super place to rent for any period, its a real family place as well. Pool is super & Bbqs are well maintained, the whole place is very well maintained at all times by friendly helpful staff.

“unbeatable views!” Our family of six stayed her June 2014. The house fit our needs and the location was perfect. We have been to Kauai multiple times (8-10 over the past 20 years) and prefer the Kapaa area above all others. It is a convenient launching point whether you are heading north to Hanalei or south to Lihue or Poipu. Many restaurants and the ABC store are just minutes from the door. The first thing we did upon arrival was rent 6 bicycles for the week from the little store on Inia street across from the Ono shave ice stand. Every morning we rode bikes along the 4 mile path. The views are spectacular! My teenagers rode their bikes to Kealia beach about two miles away and swam daily. Only two complaints - two of our kids had to sleep downstairs (two bedrooms up and one down). Downstairs is not air-conditioned and it became pretty hot. They suffered through until the third day when the ants were too much to handle. Little ants everywhere, even in the beds. At that point they moved upstairs and one slept on the sofa bed (not pulled out as the mattress was too thin) and the other on the floor. Take care of the ant issue and get an air-con unit for downstairs and this easily becomes a 5 star place for a family of 6! Oh and wifi is extremely limited - we had about 2 hours a day where we could get wifi.

“We loved our stay at Plantation Hale and hope to come back soon!” This is a review of condo D11 at the Plantation Hale in Kauai. We are a family of four: 2 adults, a girl aged 14, and a 10 year-old boy. We stayed for 10 days: May 31st through June 10th, 2014. Driving from the airport to the Hale is a quick trip. Kauai is a small island and the Hale is located about equidistant from the southern beaches and the northern beaches (which turned out to be our favorites). It’s on the edge of the town Kapa’a. You can walk to the local Foodland and the Safeway and on into the town center, but we were consistently lazy and just drove. Kapa’a is small and feels like a real Hawaiian town (as opposed to Lahue, the big city you fly into). The condo itself is quite a bit bigger than I expected with plenty of room for our family. We brought way too much stuff and didn't use most of it, so we just stored it all in the roomy closets. The kitchen is a good size and has lots of usable counter space and a pass-through to the dining area so you can talk to people in the living room while cooking or cleaning. The bathroom has a huge counter containing the sink, which turned out to be very useful because we had a shocking number of hair products, sun products, bug dope, and assorted toiletry bottles we used every day, and I don’t know where they would have ended up (or where we would have applied them) if the bathroom didn't have this big counter and open space. The bedroom had a brand new king sized bed, which was very comfortable. The pull-out sleeper couch was also new and very comfortable. There was also two nice televisions in the unit, one in the living room and one in the bedroom. The condo was recently redecorated and remodeled. They did an excellent job, as the feel is very modern and the furnishings are quiet nice. The condo was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a perfect family vacation. We were on the top, second floor. The condo is on the beach side of the Hale as opposed to the highway side so you don’t hear the road while in the condo. Parking was never an issue and we were always able to easily park within a few yards of the entrance to our stairs. The condo itself was very quiet. The building seems pretty heavily built and we rarely heard anybody. I don’t know if the first floor guests could hear us stomping around, but no one complained. The condo complex has 3 pools but our condo was closest to the best one with a hot tub, outdoor shower, pool and an outdoor cooking grill. Since it’s just down the stairs and across a short sidewalk you don’t need to put on shoes. It was also kind of handy to be able to just look over at the pool from our porch to see if anyone was currently using the hot tub. The porch runs along the entire length of the condo, so there is room for guests if you happen to meet people during your vacation. In summary: We really enjoyed the condo. It was very useful and didn't have any real negatives. Also, even though this is a review of the Hale condo, I highly recommend vacationing in Kauai. I've been to the big island, Oahu and Maui over the years and Kauai is now definitely my favorite island. It’s got everything we needed for a Hawaiian vacation: hiking, snorkeling, body surfing and actual surfing, many different beaches with varied attributes, and, it’s all beautiful! Just driving around looking at the scenery is fun. I also think Kapa’a is a great town to stay in, as it seems to be a good mix of size, location (on the island), convenience and authentic feel. We really enjoyed walking around the town and visiting the many different shops and eateries. We loved renting bikes and biking the awesome trail along the shore. And we really enjoyed the body surfing at the beach on the north end of town. If we manage to do this again we will try to get this same condo as it seemed just about perfect for our needs.

“nice for able bodied people.” A very nice condo unit, bathroom and toilet is not wheelchair friendly. Close to beaches but not swimming. Complex has very nice swimming pool.

“Great lodging at a great price!” Pros: -Location was great, right next to Lydgate State Park and beachfront. Beach directly in front of condos is very nice and not at all crowded. Very short drive to Kapaa. Close to a nice public golf course. -Centrally located on the island, a short drive to all other tourist destinations. Easily accessible from highway, you'll avoid some traffic jams by not being right in town. (Kapaa) -Unit was very clean, comfortable, well-outfitted and well maintained. Just about everything in good working order. A little short on linens and pillows for 4 people. Having 1.5 baths was great. -This ground floor unit is steps from the beach, fairly close to pool and laundry. Patio views are very nice. Pool is small but fine. Hot tub not working. Condo complex is well-maintained, feels secure, staff super friendly and helpful. There were always staff and/or security around. -Unit came with beach towels, chairs, coolers. I don't think all units have those things. -Furniture was utilitarian but nice and clean. Plenty of nice patio furniture. Cons: -This particular unit got quite warm during the day due to its location in the complex. Direct sun from ocean side most of the day. Only an issue if your body temp runs on the hot side. There are shades to close. Master bedroom on opposite side of unit was shaded by other buildings and stayed cool. Unit was equipped with 2 portable fans (a bonus) and 2 ceiling fans. I don't know which units might be cooler during the day--or if all on the ocean side would have this issue. Living room ceiling fan did not work well, bedroom ceiling fan worked great. -Fold-out futon bed is small, would be tight for two adults. Didn't work for our two teen boys. Fortunately, chairs in living room also fold down flat, we put 2 together for a second bed. We should have checked that out in advance.
