Great place to stay
Posted Oct. 20, 2024 on HomeAwayEverything was great as usual- the penthouse views are amazing, the condo is roomy and comfy - kitchen supplies are great and a good selection of games and books are available. The beach chairs were very much appreciated - but we couldn't find beach towels in the same place, and because they didn't look like traditional beach towels, we didn't find them for a day or so until the owner told us where to find them and what they looked like. Our only other inconvenience was difficulty with remotes and accessing cable channels. The instructions provided were inaccurate and not sufficient. We muddled our way through and mostly ended up watching Prime instead. Overall a great place to stay and we highly recommend it!

Thank you very much for the feedback Tina!! We'll definitely work on providing some more detailed instructions for the cable channels and which remotes go to what, apologies for the inconvenience. We hope you had a great time on the island, and we hope to see you again soon!! Mahalo :)

In need of updating and repairs
Posted Jan. 6, 2024 on HomeAwayFortunately, this was not the first time we were on Kauai (this was our 6th time), so we were not really upset when it absolutely poured rain (like I have never seen before) for six days and six nights - constantly. We had previously done all that Kauai had to offer. If we had not, this would have been a wasted stay. I am not exaggerating. Accordingly, we could not sit out on the beautiful lanai that overlooked the ocean. We could, however, hear the ocean. We absolutely froze the first few nights in the condo as many windows (eight) facing the ocean would not close. The main bedroom television did not work and four days after we reported it, someone finally showed up and said we needed a new cable box. We did not receive one during our stay. Other issues were similarly not addressed until the fourth day of our six day stay. "Property management" was severley lacking. The main bathroom sink faucet sprayed water everywhere. The locks did not work on either the lanai screen or sliding door. The kitchen was lacking in utensils and the bath towels were only average. The owners obviously do not trust renters with nicer things. We also stayed in a condo on Maui and a house on Oahu on this trip and this condo was the worst in terms of thinking of items renters may need or enjoy and in terms of quality. While this condo could be a wonderful place to stay, it needs updating, repairs (rusted mirrors, one large area of the floor was duct taped) and nicer accoutrements.

We're sorry you had the misfortune to visit during absolutely terrible weather. And that your stay was immediately after an extended four month closure while the lanai was renovated, resulting in more than the usual number of issues. We dropped the ball, we hope you'll come back and have a more enjoyable stay next time.

But for a clothes dryer,,,
Posted May 1, 2023 on HomeAwayThis was our 5th stay in a Puu Poa condo, so we love the location on a bluff overlooking the ocean. We even saw whales the first 3 days! This condo is a little tired compared to others we’ve stayed in. What makes the location special is also very hard on the property, so you have window and door issues from corrosion. Our grandkids loved the pool and Hideaways Beach down the bluff from the condo.
Minor issues were 2 non-working toasters (property managers got us a new one in a couple of days) and a barely functional coffee maker. The real bummer was the non-working clothes dryer which was not fixed until the last day of a 10 day stay. This was a big inconvenience.

That view though
Posted Apr. 10, 2023 on HomeAwayAmazing. Condo exactly as described. The view is priceless. Great easy access to beaches. Loved every second of our stay.

View? yes. Big? yes. Needs TLC? Very yes.
Posted Oct. 24, 2022 on HomeAwayThe ocean view is unbeatable. Likely the best on Kauai's North Coast. The place is large, too. Lots of room to move around.
However, the place doesn't look changed since the 80s and there are a number of deferred maintenance issues: weeds on the lanai, peeling paint, warped floors, rusting bathroom fixtures, etc. We realize that many adjacent condos go for much more pet night (some over 2x), but a little TLC wouldn't cost too much and would go a long way to make the unit considerably more comfortable.

Spacious condo with amazing views!
Posted Jul. 16, 2022 on HomeAwayWe enjoyed staying here so much. The ocean view was amazing! And the condo was clean and spacious with a large kitchen, which was very nice. There's a long daybed in front of the windows in the den where I took a nap everyday, while enjoying the ocean breeze. There are TWO beach paths, only a 3 minute walk away that take you to beautiful gorgeous beaches. My wife and I loved it here and would highly recommend this condo if you are visiting the Princeville/Hanalei area.

Two thumbs up for Puu Poa
Posted Jun. 9, 2022 on HomeAwayCondo was clean, spacious, stocked well with basic amenities, and one incredible view. Walking distance to Hideaway Beach (one of our favorites), Queens Bath, and Puu Poa Beach. Local pizza and salad joint also a short walk, and pizza was great. Would most definitely stay here again.
