hidden gem!
Absolutely loved staying at this condo. The pictures of the view don’t do it justice! There is also a path down to a beach with almost nobody added it, which was great for snorkeling! The property was clean and stocked with everything we could need.

very nice view, but the apartment is showing its age
The rental company was very friendly and accommodating. The view was breathtaking. Aside from the bathrooms, the furniture and equipment are showing their age. In addition, a more thorough cleaning could improve the overall impression.

What an incredible spot! From the sunset views to the rainfall shower, this place was magical! Pali Ke Kua 201 had the best views and was just a short walk to two unique beaches with great snorkeling.

perfect spot
We felt like we had the best spot and view! We were in our rooms almost every night for the sunset because it was really that good just from our balcony. The condo was very clean and despite no AC we were comfy at night with all the fans provided. The condo is in a great location, a short drive to Hanalei and Hideaway beach is steps away if you feel up to the trek down the steep hill! We are already planning our next trip and would feel fortunate to snag this place again if it were available!

newly remodeled with great views
The remodel of this unit was very modern. The views were awesome (mountains as well as ocean). It is located close to the street but due to the limited number of rentals beyond Pali Ke Kua, this wasn't an issue. We have stayed at several condos at Pali Ke Kua and we will definitely stay 201 in the future.

PKK is our favorite place to stay in Princeville. We have had good experiences with Kauai Vacation Rentals. PKK 201 was new to us, and what we really liked was that it was a corner condo with ocean views and beautiful mountain views.

incredible location, sad wifi
Fantastic location. Would book again in a heartbeat. View is incredible from multiple angles. WiFI is a joke however, you can't even load a YouTube video. Webpages load at a speed common in 1997. So don't expect to get any work done until they upgrade that. Also, no shampoo/conditioner so bring your own!

beautiful
This unit has a wonderful view. The unit as others have said is in need of a remodel. Unit is well equipped with kitchen, sand chairs, towels, etc. the patio door should be replaced. The screens get off track all the time and birds can make their way in. The screens scrape a lot and make a lot of noise for the folks downstairs.

pali ke kua 201
The best thing about this condo is its location in Princeville with views of the mountains, the ocean, and the sunsets over Bali Hai. The PKK grounds are very pleasant with lovely trees, flowers, birds, and views plus the trail down to the beach. The condo layout and general amenities, including the library, are also great. From a sanitation aspect, the cleanliness was fine. But it seriously needs a deep cleaning (e.g., dusting/cleaning railings & art work; cleaning couch cushion covers & pillows) and better routine maintenance (e.g., doors & screens and bathroom fixtures). We've been coming to this condo for many years. We enjoyed our stay and will likely come back, but with the significant rate increase over last year, we'd hoped to see better care taken of the place.

human kindness
It took me a long time to write this, but need to now. We had a great time, and enjoyed our condo, even though it is quite dated and could use many upgrades. But we loved the location, and KVR staff was very helpful when we had a problem that needed fixing. It was handled promptly and staff was friendly. Our problem came when we checked out and went by your office to drop off keys. There was extensive road work between us in Princeville and you in Lihue, causing maybe 45 minutes delay. By the time we got to your office, we were both in dire need of a bathroom. We are both in our 70's and not in any way menacing. We asked if we could use the bathroom at your office, and were told no. She said we should go across the street to Walmart. When we got to Walmart the lot was packed - no place to park, no way to get to a bathroom. After leaving you with a couple thousand dollars of our money, it did not seem like an unreasonable request to ask to use a bathroom. We were the only people there, and as I say, posed no threat. It just seemed rude and uncaring. We have rented from you before, and been happy with our experiences. But this experience leaves me thinking we may have to look for something different. Simple human kindness should have been shown, and was not.

a lovely place to stay
The view steals the show, it's really a treat for anyone who enjoys sitting out on the lanai and/or hearing the ocean.
This unit is right next to the road, so you will hear traffic pass and feel a little exposed in the main bedroom.
Some of the fixtures are a bit old and present small challenges, but nothing too major. The pots and pans are in really poor shape, so it will be challenging for anyone hoping to do their own cooking. The knives are dull.
We really appreciated that there was some beach equipment available and in great condition, that was very welcome.

great views
Wonderful location and fantastic views of the ocean and mountains. We really loved the views and proximity to great snorkeling. Grateful for the fans as the afternoon sun really heats up the place in the afternoons. Leaving the front door open helped create a strong cross breeze-wish there was a screen door. Living room furniture, bathroom fixtures, washer and dryer were on the older side but were functional. Good communication from the rental company.

We loved everything about this place and the location. There's only one small negative. The wicker furniture is not all that comfortable, but you generally don't book a place like this to hang out in the condo all the time. We would stay here again without a doubt.

super cute and a great few.
This is our second stay at Pali Ke Kua and first time in this unit. The unit does need some updates but all in all for the price it is a great unit. Comfy bed, fully stocked kitchen and great furniture on the balcony for enjoying the sunset. We would like to see them remodel and remove the carpeting. It is well worn and gives the condo a musty smell due to the humidity. It is a corner unit with the bedroom in the back toward the street. The bedroom curtains do not allow for air flow when closed and you need the ventilation late in the afternoon as it gets very hot. It would have been great if the curtains stopped above the florida windows or had sheers to allow for more air and privacy because at night with the lights on and the curtains open you can see right in. Beach equipment and cooler were provided. The loft area was cute and would be great for kids. Having two bathrooms was another plus. Don't let my suggested updates sway you away from staying here, this is a great condo and we would definitely return. Just a little food for thought for the owners.

unparalleled views
You have panoramic views in this unit....mountains, ocean and you can hear the waves. Hard to find that on the North shore. Another perk, direct access to the beach down a steep paved path with some of the best snorkeling, with turtles, on the island. Awesome sunsets. People migrate to this side of Princeville for the perfect sunset pic and we only have to walk out to the lanai. Though the unit is a bit dated, it has all the amenities needed. Kauai rentals is also an excellent company to work with. We have used them several times.

No question, the view is the highlight of this unit. It's great! We found the unit to be well appointed both in the kitchen and the closet had adequate beach chairs, boogey boards and a cooler. Couldn't ask for more. We found the WiFi to be somewhat sporadic but adequate. With all the ocean facing glass, the afternoon sun in the summer is a little brutal but after sundown with all the louvers open things cooled down nicely. This was particularly true in the master bedroom. We slept very comfortably. All in all, we found this to be a very nice vacation rental.

fantastic experience!
My wife and I went her for our honeymoon. There's so many great things about this place. What we really enjoyed was having a clear view of the north side of the shoreline in addition to a view of the westside. You can see the mountains and ocean all from the dining table! The bed was extremely comfortable as well. Great location too. Just a 10 minute walk down to the beach and the same time driving to Hanalei Bay. My wife and I agreed that we'll definitely come back to this location next time we visit!

what a view!
The view from the condo is unreal! The mountains with waterfalls on one side and the Ocean on the other. Getting to the beach requires quite the walk(hike down) . So be ready. The condo does badly need a face lift. The appliances are from the early 80's and the carpet (everywhere?) needs to go. But if all you do is sit on the deck and watch the waves, you'll love it. I know I did.
