Aloha! The North Shore of Kauai awaits in this amazing, centrally located Condo!

Over all, the property was fine except for the following details. 1) The bedframe protrudes about 6 out from the mattress making it difficult to get in/out of bed without racking one's shins on the edge of the frame. 2) The cookware didn't include a legitimate skillet and the pan that was a substitute skillet had a rounded bottom making it almost impossible to get an even heat transfer on the burner top electric stove which is flat. 3) The flat panel smart TV was not connected to the local cable TV system so one could watch only streaming video provided that one is enrolled in streaming services and remembers passwords or uses existing accounts on the TV or sets up their own new account. To be fair, Ryan, our host, jumped through hoops of real fire in an effort to work around the obstacles related to the TV configuration and it is to be to be commended. 4) There were no wash cloths in the bathroom for those of us who don't use loofas and/or body wash implements.

Location was really good, we had to contact the owner for key pad code the day before we arrived, we had paid the full amount when we booked which is unusual as we use VRBO on a regular basis. The key for the pool arrived 2 days before we left. We will continue to use VRBO to come to Princeville, but not this property

I would have given this 4 stars but the only other review was 1 star- citing tv channels, which is unfair so I bumped this up to 5. This condo is in a great location for exploring the north shore of Kauai. We were on the island in June and stayed in Kapaa but wanted to be closer to Hanalei this time. The condo is just a few minutes from Hanalei. The condo was clean and had pretty much everything we needed. My only real complaint would be with the air conditioner. I don’t think it’s the appropriate size for the unit and we never felt like it got “cool” in there. Honestly it may have been more of a humidity issue than heat but nevertheless we felt warm in the unit. Unit has a nice shower with great water pressure. Bed was comfortable. Other than that I just have some suggestions for the property owner. Curtain panels would be nice on the windows as some of the blinds don’t work and it gets bright in there early. Also some shades on the kitchen windows for privacy as there is no “bedroom” in this unit. And a filtered water pitcher in the fridge would be nice as well. Check out Hideaways Pizza Pub in Princeville and Wishing Well shave ice in Hanalei. Tunnels beach in Hanalei is an absolutely stunning beach but water kind of rough so we rented some body boards in Hanalei for $6/day. The condo came with 2 beach chairs, a small soft-side cooler and some snorkeling gear. Anything else needed can easily be rented in Hanalei.

There was also mold in the house. No TV stations only movie stations. So no news or sports. I would not stay there again.
