I was excited for a Valentine's weekend stay at Puu Poa Unit 210 with its ocean view, having previously enjoyed the Hanalei Bay illas across the street. Unfortunately, upon entering the unit, we immediately noticed a strong cleaning chemical smell and an underlying musty mold scent. Despite airing it out, we both developed headaches, lightheadedness, and sinus pain-signs of mold exposure.

I contacted Oceanfront Realty, who offered a refund if we found another place, but due to the late hour, we decided to stay the night. Upon inspection, I found visible mold in the AC units, along the rafters by the windows and a stained area rug, with a dirty outdated couch.

The kitchen was disorganized and the refrigerator smelled awful. The gas grill was rusty, and the master toilet area had a moldy smell with a humidifier bag collecting moldy water.

The ocean view was stunning, but the cleanliness and maintenance of this unit were deeply concerning.

Oceanfront Realty was understanding, offering a one-night charge, but it seemed like they might have known about the issues beforehand. They tried to excuse the most resent rain fall, but we know better!

Beautiful view, but health and cleanliness
concerns were a big letdown!

We spent five wonderful nights at Puu Poa, the sunsets were amazing. Great location in Princeville. A short drive to Hanalei. Fun nearby shopping and restaurants. We hope to stay here again someday.

We stayed at Puu Poa with another couple for 10 days. It was a spacious condo with comfortable furniture overall. We enjoyed all of the amenities in and around Kauai. I would suggest replacing any non-stick cookware as everything is scratched from previous guests. (Easy to tell the glasses are washed in the dish-washer with the clouding of the glass.) The master BR doors could use a spruce-up as they were a bit difficult to open and close. Really liked the beds, furniture, and lanai! I also appreciated the daily emails with local farmer’s markets and music available for our convenience.

We have stayed in this area several times, but this property is a keeper. Kitchen was exceptionally well stocked. We'll be back!

I found out at the last minute that I needed to fly to Kauai for a business matter and Oceanfront Realty International was able to provide me with beautiful accomodations in Princeville that had phenomenal ocean views and everything that I could've asked for considering my last minute need. I would definitely use Oceanfront Realty for any future bookings.

The property has a spectacular view and was very comfortable. Two issues: 1) the beach chairs have rotted from being stored outside on the balcony. 2) The TV stations accessible are terrible; no local TV, no access to cable stations. The access was to hundreds of one subject station cable stations. The old adage works here "hundreds of stations, nothing on".

Amazing location right next to 1 hotel. Beautiful sunset view. Adventurous beach access. Plenty of places to walk. Plenty of places to eat nearby if you have a car. The condo itself was perfect and quiet. The property needs major major updates. Very dated. Lots of construction going on.

This stay was beautiful. Views of the ocean, very little outdoor lighting to enjoy the stars and sleeping and waking to the sound of the ocean. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful property with our family.

This property was recommended by a friend who has stayed there a number of times, so we signed-up without reservation. We picked out the one we wanted and then were unexpectedly moved out of that one into another which was being renovated and had construction junk and dirt outside the front door, as well as being pretty dated. Nobody told us that part or we probably would have chosen a different location. The roof windows leaked when it rained causing water puddles on the tile floor, the wifi wasn't hooked up initially, and we didn't receive a pool key, making for a bit of a rough start. A couch was rented for our use, and it was filthy and smelled like wet dog hair. The management had covered it with our beach towels to hide the stains and smell. Jaymi was great and fixed as many things as she could. They did refund one night's rent in response. We definitely had been downgraded from our initial choice 'at no additional expense' to us. This is not an inexpensive property and we were disappointed with those aspects of our stay. I recommend making sure you really know what you're getting before committing.
Would recommend the property with caution.

Fantastic Princeville rental. Location is superb. Amazing sunsets. Unit has everything you need and communication with property manager is easy and reliable. Very nice condo. Kitchen is superb. Living room furniture is a bit dated and worn from sun and age. Bathrooms are nice and washer dryer worked great. Very clean overall but floors are tough to keep clean due to the Kauai dirt everywhere. Hideaway beach is just below the property. Difficult hike down and back but well worth it. First trip to Kauai and we loved it.

Great Location first time being in Kauai! For such a nice property, there are plenty of repairs that need to be made. Tiles outside, cabinet doors, furniture faded and dated, no extra sheets or blankets. For a property worth so much, a little spending would go along way and put a cherry on top of vacation stays at this property. Great beach access to Pui Pui and Hidden Beach. I would love to stay here again with suggested updates. Also AC does not work and needs to be cleaned.

Beautiful condo in a beautiful spot. Perfect location close to Hanalei, groceries, restaurants, etc. Should note that it's really a huge master and "afterthought" 2nd bedroom. Fine for a family, perhaps a disappointment for two couples splitting.
Really, the only very minor bones to pick were: very limited hot water if more than one person showering, and very difficult shower diverter in the master shower. Really nit-picking here as the place was teriffic!

I took my parents to Kauai to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. We chose #210 for location, amenities, and the AC. The views are gorgeous, the location was perfect, and the kitchen was fantastic for cooking and entertaining the rest of my family that were staying upstairs in #310. Everything we needed for the beaches was in the condo and the kitchen was beyond fully stocked with everything anyone could need/want. Directions from LIHUE were perfect, unit was clean, and check in was a breeze. We would highly recommend this unit to anyone traveling to Kauai.

The views where great and at night the shooting stars and all the stars you could see - wonderful. A couple days we could see the fish jumping out of the water from our place - so nice.

Overall of the place - needs updated - view was great - Stars at night plus shooting stars overnight - Wonderfull. Hate to say that the minor things really effect things - no batteries working in the remotes, lights burnt out, AC cannot keep up, no extra sheets or blankets to put on the really old couch that was gross and we had to use our beach towels on it to sit on it. The patio had all the AC condensing water sitting on it and all cracked up. Electrical outlets and lights not working. Second bedroom no AC. The shower in the master didn't work but I notified the rental agency and they sent someone out the same day which was great and fixed it.

Hate to be a downer but the place really needs updated A LOT for the money we paid. I first time to Hawaii and we were disappointed at the place we stayed.

Hopefully the owner see's this so they get things updated for future guests.
