Perfect setting and accommodations for my family to enjoy and celebrate my mother's 65th birthday vacation!

Family of 5 stayed May 25th - June 1st 2018. Mostly cloudy the entire time we were there but local said that was unusual. It rained briefly every day. Very lush, green, and gorgeous area. Very quiet and peaceful area. Hot tub is HOT which was amazing and pool was cold, so we would got back and forth between them. Gas grill is at the pool which is not convenient to use it. It is up a hill to walk to it. House was very clean except for the floors. The floors need to be mopped really well. Ran out of dishwasher cleaner after 2nd day (2 uses) so bring your own. The ad says there is air conditioning. That is not accurate. I never would have rented this place if I had known the truth. They have 2 large portable AC units. My husband put one in 2 of the 3 bedrooms that had a porch/balcony. He put it in the sliding door to vent out the hot air tube and the water line so both ran outside. He then used trash bags and chip clips to block bugs/birds to fly into room above the unit. Both got that room cool after running it for hours. But no where else in house had anything but a ceiling fan. During the day it got hot in the house. The windows open and are kept open but the trade winds are blocked from coming into house due to angle of windows opening. Luckily we were not home much during the day. Best beach near by is Anini beach which has calm water due to a coral reef off the coast. Lots of shallow water for little ones plus very long beach so not crowded at all. Go down the road at this beach towards the campground for best water for snorkeling. House is very roomy! 4 beds was prefect! Kitchen is updated and plenty of room for multiple cooks. No room in cabinets or closet to put your own food though, so had to leave on counter which is not ideal. No bug issues I am happy to report!!! Balcony off living room is large! Princeville is gorgeous BUT it is super far from everything, except for Hanalei but that is only a 1 day town to hang out at.

Overall condo was very nice, clean & met our needs. Since we have rented through VRBO many times in the past, I will say our experience in dealing directly with owners has been better. Little things like a stock of needed supplies has been better at other locations. For example, no Kleenex anywhere in the unit, a limited amount of TP, and no bath rug for stepping out of the shower. Towels were still wet when we entered & some of the windows & blinds needed maintenance. Desc. does say portable air conditioners, but did not realize we had to roll them out of closets and set them up through patio doors. Also don't plan on parking in garage if you have anything larger than mid size car. Our minivan did not fit. Eric was very quick to respond to anything we asked about.

The house was extremely well-appointed with everything for a comfortable stay including starter items. The view was lovely from the upper decks, the property was very clean, and the plates, utensils, etc. were very well stocked.<br/>There was also plenty of beach equipment for our use.<br/>We were two couples and two children. The space was certainly large enough for all of us. One child slept in the office/futon area, but the other small child had to sleep on the couch next to the laundry area (no privacy).<br/>The children especially enjoyed the pool every day.<br/>We also liked the fact that this "community" was close to the main road, and relatively private, unlike some of the northern communities of Princeville that had hundreds of condos.<br/>Would highly recommend this property.

Fantastic place to stay. Extremely peaceful and quiet. Well maintained. Excellent location. <br/>Couple suggestions not complaints be any means: 1) Wi-fi was sometimes slow and not able to stream video, maybe add an Apple TV to media center 2) Have some directions as to how to use the air conditioner units

The home is beautiful and the views are spectacular! We loved the wood floors and the 2 large bedrooms/bathrooms. The 3rd room/office is small, but comfortable. The home is full of windows, which highlights the beautiful scenery in the area. The home is conveniently located near shopping centers and all of the amazing activities and restaurants in Hanalei. We also liked the fact that the home is in a secure/gated neighborhood. Overall, we were very pleased with the home. The only negative, which wasn't specific to this property, is the parking, which is very narrow. It seems to be a prevailing problem on the island. I would also replace or remove the seat cushions on the kitchen and dinner table stools/chairs; they're fairly worn. Everything else was fantastic!

Everything was perfect. The house is roomy and very comfortably accomodated 2 couples and 3 kids. Bright open areas and amazing views. This felt like borrowing a friend's house, it had everything you need and don't have when on vacation, bike, beach gear, tupperwares, grocery bags, umbrellas, etc... Location is great if Princeville is your choice. Hawaii Life poeple were very friendly all along.

Overall a very enjoyable experience. Plenty of room for the 6 of us. Great location. Unit has some problems but not enough to greatly inconvenience us.

This place truly made our vacation relaxing. Excellent location, fully equipped kitchen with everything a home needs and more, beach towels and chairs, a cooler... you name it. This must be someone's full time home and I am so pleased they were willing to share it with us. Stunning view of the mountains, lots of windows, mobile AC units worked sufficiently to keep us comfortable. Large home overall with excellent decor and furnishings. I would absolutely stay here again. This is likely our go-to spot for all future trips.
