This spacious top floor condo in the upscale Puu Poa complex on the north shore of beautiful Kauai is located directly next door to the Princeville One Hotel. You'll love the newly renovated oceanfront pool! Also available onsite are tennis courts, pickleball court, and a path to Hideaways Beach. (Note that this beach path is not for the faint of heart. It's steep and often muddy. We recommend the brief stroll next door to the beach in front of the One Hotel. Easy!) This Kauai vacation rental is the perfect place to find your own paradise.
At Puu Poa 405 you'll find a very large oceanfront lanai, furnished with a shaded dining set and your own personal barbecue grill. The views are unobstructed, panoramic, and oceanfront. The master bedroom opens onto a second sleeping or lounging area with a bank of windows that open to bring the ocean and the sunshine straight inside, perfect for viewing migrating whales, dolphins at play, or passing ships. For privacy, the sunroom may be closed off from the bedroom with a set of sliding louver if you've got children using the queen sleeper sofa in the atrium You'll love the view from the king bed in the very spacious master can enjoy the view without even having to get up. The adjacent master bathroom is very large and elegantly remodeled, with a generously sized walk-in shower and jetted tub. The guest bedroom is furnished with a queen bed. Inside the guest bathroom you will also find a washer and dryer.
The living room is comfortably furnished with a large sectional sofa, 55” flat screen TV, and there's even a telescope for close-up whale spotting or watching the surfers. Directly behind the living room, with equally dramatic oceanfront views thanks to the open floor plan, is a fully equipped kitchen with granite counter tops, a cook top counter island, electric oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, cookware and dishes, blender, coffee maker, and toaster.
As with most homes on Kauai, this vacation rental is NOT air conditioned.
Although this home has internet, the speed and reliability cannot be guaranteed due to the remote location and the service being provided by a third-party.
Note: host requires all guests, whether they book directly or via a third party website, to complete a rental agreement within 3 days of booking.

Beautiful condo as advertised
We (a couple with 2 teenage girls) enjoyed our stay here. The condo is very spacious and could located a short walk from Hideaway beach. The path to the beach is a little steep but very manageable with the roped handrail to assist. We were provided with everything we needed to have a wonderful time including beach chairs, snorkels, mask, umbrella and boogie board.

Spacious condo with amazing views!
We 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.

Beautiful, comfortable condo in a great location. The condo was clean and fully furnished with high end amenities. We were surprised at all the beach gear. We also liked to use the telescope to view the ocean.The bed was very comfortable as was the living room furniture. Our only issue was not being able to use the balcony much due to a plugged drain, keeping standing water over half the area must of the time. Overall, we could tell the owner has great attention to detail and wants everyone to have a great vacation.

The photos on the site, is what you get. Spent the month of February in this lovely apartment with fine appointments; sheets ,towels beds high quality. A terrific view of a delightful small surf spot and the Pacific beyond. Everything came with it: Snorkel gear, beach chairs, and even a chest of children's playthings.

View? yes. Big? yes. Needs TLC? Very yes.
The 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.

Great place to stay
Everything 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!

But for a clothes dryer,,,
This 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.

Everything important done right
We stayed here for 11 days in March. Overall this property is outstanding. The location is second to none with amazing views access to two outstanding beaches and a large resort hotel. As several reviews have noted the sectional couch in the living room is worn and not comfortable. The sheets in the Master BR were also worn and in need of replacement. Some people may find the lack of air-conditioning to be an issue – however throughout our stay, we were comfortable except during a couple of afternoons when a shower is passed by in the wind died down. The unit is very well equipped in all respects, and the kitchen is equipped with the right amount of the right things that are new and up-to-date. We did have one issue in communications with the management company. They switched out of the app and started communicating through email without giving any notification that they were doing so. This caused some issues with us getting our check instructions in a timely way. Would definitely stay here again.

In need of updating and repairs
Fortunately, 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.

Our stay at Puu Poa 405 was everything we had hoped for. The unit is a little outdated and still needs a few minor repairs, but nothing that would keep us from staying at this property again. Everything we needed was on-site. The condo was very comfortable and made us feel at home. The views are breathtaking from every room and the top floor unit made us feel like we were there all alone.Thank you to Kauai Kahuna Vacations group. Your staff was first class and very responsive. The welcome texts and access to concierge service was next level.We are looking forward to booking our next vacation at Puu Poa.
