This condo places you next to Hideaways Beach and within a 5-minute walk of Princeville Golf Club Prince Course. The condo includes a kitchen, a balcony, and a dining area.
Welcome to Hale Honu Aloha ("Home of Turtle Love") at Puu Poa - An updated spacious two-bedroom, two-bath condo on the ocean bluff of Princeville that accommodates up to 4 people. Overlooking the Pacific Ocean and directly adjacent to 1-Hotel Hanalei Resort (formerly St Regis Princeville), this is the perfect respite for one or two couples, a couple with two children or a girls’ getaway.
This 3rd floor unit features beautiful Mediterranean floor tiles throughout, flat screen TVs in the living area and master bedroom. There's also a glass-roofed atrium to enjoy your coffee and a good book while watching colorful rainbows swath overhead. And a big plus for those warm tropical afternoons -- central A/C throughout (main room + both bedrooms) -- making it a refreshing place to return after a day in the sun.
The unit has a recently-refurbished lanai (patio) with tile flooring, glass railing and new Fleetwood sliding glass doors plus a propane BBQ, two market umbrellas, lounge chairs and a dining set for 4, making this the perfect place to sit and relax while sipping coffee at sunrise or drinks at sunset, BBQing dinner and watching surfers and sea-life at Hideaways Beach, front and center.
The Condo provides a comfortable, bright, airy living space that takes advantage of the delightful ocean breezes and magical sunset views.
The well-equipped kitchen - including an LG refrigerator with filtered water, microwave and oven, new dishwasher, glass cooktop and granite countertops - overlooks a large, open living room and dining area that offer expansive views of the ocean and mountains from every which way. With ample cabinetry, we offer various kitchen tools (Ninja blender, InstaPot 4-slice Cuisinart toaster, Cuisinart automatic drip coffee maker and Kitchen Aid food processor and more) for those who prefer to cook at home - all while enjoying the best view on island!
The open dining area offers expansive views of the ocean and mountains with a wine fridge nearby to keep your favorite bottles at an optimal temperature. Just below the dining room is a spacious living area with a sectional sofa and plenty of seating to spread out. A Samsung 65" Smart TV and Yamaha Sound bar are mounted on the wall for your viewing pleasure, when the myriad of Pacific hues are not luring your attention away. A large A/C unit mounted on the wall (between living room & atrium) in addition to ceiling fans in every room, keeps the condo comfortable all day long.
The primary en-suite bedroom has a 2nd dedicated, well-mounted A/C unit and ceiling fan along with an uber comfortable Cal-King bed, Smart TV and ample built-in cabinetry and closet space. The spacious primary bedroom opens to the glass-enclosed atrium with mesmerizing views, or closed up for privacy with folding wood-louvered doors. The roomy primary bathroom has an upgraded tiled walk-in shower with a luxurious rain shower head, double sinks, plush linens, shampoo/conditioner and body wash dispensers and plenty of storage.
The 2nd bedroom also has a dedicated wall-mounted A/C unit, ceiling fan and two twin beds that can be configured into one king bed upon request. There is a large guest bathroom located just outside the bedroom with a bathtub and shower combo (also with a rain showerhead), plus more shampoo/conditioner/body wash dispensers and washer/dryer appliances + laundry products for our guests' use.
The light-filled glass-enclosed atrium as well as the private lanai off the living room are perfect spots to watch whales (Dec-Apr), dolphins, tropical birds, sailboats, rainbows, surfers --or curl up with a good book on one of the comfy sofas or outdoor lounge chairs with two market umbrellas to keep the shade a-plenty. In the evening, use the gas BBQ to grill while watching Kauai's mesmerizing sunsets over the Pacific ocean and majestic Bali Hai.
This condo comes equipped with all your beach necessities: beach towels, beach chairs, boogie board, ice chest, sun umbrella, snorkeling gear and much more. You'll also find yoga mats, hand weights, tennis rackets and a pickle ball set for 4.
Puu Poa has an immaculate heated swimming pool that is surrounded by a neatly-manicured lawn, tropical flowers and sweeping views across the Pacific. Lounge in the sun or under the shade umbrellas poolside while you soak in the Aloha spirit and ocean views. An outdoor shower refreshes you before or after your pool time. Several foot baths are also scattered throughout the complex for rinsing sandy feet and beach toys.
The grounds of the resort community contain meticulously landscaped gardens and private tennis/pickleball courts backed by majestic mountain views, as well as ample parking. Hideaways Beach, a surfers' delight and intimate gem of a beach, is located just below the condo's ocean bluff. Also be sure to check out Puu Poa Beach located below the recently-opened 1-Hotel Hanalei Resort, a short stroll down a paved staircase alongside the resort. Hanalei Bay’s infamously breathtaking beaches are a short 10-minute drive down the Hanalei Hill.
Activities nearby include seasonal swimming, snorkeling, fishing, tide-pooling, surfing, windsurfing, kayaking, paddle-boarding, hiking, sightseeing, catamaran tours, botanical gardens, shopping, dining, tennis, pickle ball, golf and more.
The spectacular 1-Hotel Hanalei (previously St Regis Princeville) adjacent to the Puu Poa complex offers several restaurants, bars, cafe and a world-class spa open to the public. Well worth a stroll through this stunning property!
Although this condo is located on the 3rd floor, there are only 8 small steps from street level to the front door. This is the closest level to the parking lot of all Puu Poa floors while still slightly above the lot. There are no elevators. This 3rd floor unit also allows for a far and wide ocean view on the bluff side.

This was a beautiful condo for our first time in Kauai. Amazing location with incredible views. We enjoyed mornings watching the waves, surfers and even saw whales from the condo. Very clean and spacious. Had everything we needed and more. Communication with owners was easy. We are already planning our next trip and can’t imagine staying anywhere else!
Tens across the board! Anne was a lovely host with great communication. This is the best rental we have stayed at in Princeville. The cleanliness was top notch, the kitchen was fully stocked and the condo had everything you could possibly need for a fun stay. We will stay again!

Ideal location. Stunning views. The property has everything you need and was super clean and well stocked. There was so much room to spread out - 2 living areas, large lanai and large bathrooms. The 2 beaches below the property were gorgeous and secluded. Also loved being next door to 1Hotel - we went to the hotel for lunch, dinners and used the beach. We did the Napali boat tour and it was so nice already being on this side of the island. Anne was very easy to communicate with and did a tremendous job giving us tons of helpful information before our trip to help with planning. Everything went seamlessly and would definitely return!! Really was sad to leave!!

Paradise in Princeville
We cannot say enough to express how wonderful this place is. It was absolutely perfect for our 2nd Honeymoon to celebrate 25 years together . Laurie was so kind and responsive. The location and views are paradise. Snorkeling with sea turtles and beautiful fishes at Hideaways Beach, hiking the trails along the Napali Coast, exploring the island - everything was magical here. The condo is beautifully decorated, comfortable, and equipped with everything you could possibly need. We are already thinking about our return trip! Mahalo, Anne and George!

Amazing Stay in Princeville
I cannot say enough great things about our stay here! Anne and George have beautiful property. I was in awe from the moment we arrived. Every morning, we would sit on the lanai and have a show from the whales. Everything was spotless and I appreciated all of the messages from Anne. It was centrally located to everything we did on the North Shore. We cannot wait to stay with them again! Thank you Anne and George for everything!

Paradise found
A little background on me… There is no more discriminating guest than myself. I find the pea under every mattress and trust me when I say: there was precious little to find lacking at this property! I lived on Kauai for almost 20 years before my husband and I returned to live on the Mainland in 2014. This was our first trip back to our home island of Kauai… and what a return it was!
Communication with Anne was easy and immediate. If you are staying at this unit and can’t find what you want, you just need to ask and it will most likely be there.
Views are unparalleled. Even if you want to stay on property the entire time, you can stroll down to 3 different secluded beaches and catch rainbows and Milky Way starlit nights from your very own huge lanai!
The furnishings are very tasteful indeed, and I found myself turning over cups and checking the name brands on quite a few items (I’m looking at you, Tommy Bahama bed coverings!) to do some shopping for my own home.
We stayed 8 nights, and I would have happily spent 2 weeks had it been available.
I can assure you, it will not be another 10 years until we return again, and I look forward to staying in this unit next time as well!

Five stars across the board!
Our family (2 adults and 2 boys, ages 8 and 5) enjoyed a delightful stay at Anne and George's beautiful property. We are seasoned VRBO users and this might be our favorite property ever. The pictures do not begin to do justice to the incredible Bali Hai views -- we enjoyed cocktails while watching the sunset every night. The condo is spacious and well-appointed, with everything you could possibly want and more. We enjoyed the comfortable beds, beach equipment (chairs, umbrellas, toys, everything you could think of), kitchen fixings, etc. -- Anne and George have equipped the space with everything you need. The beautiful pool (which our boys often had to themselves), proximity to beaches (Hideaways was our 8-year-old's favorite!), and walking path to Princeville were icing on the cake.
On top of all this, Anne was super communicative both before and during our stay. We couldn't speak more highly of her and George, and this beautiful property. The only disappointment was that we eventually had to leave! Can't wait until our return visit -- Mahalo Anne and George!

This is my favorite rental property I’ve stayed at worldwide. So many beautiful details from the artwork to cleanliness to a very well stocked kitchen.. Oh my gosh the VIEW. Cannot beat it. Front row seat to every sunset. Hosts were easy to reach, even though I never needed them because we had no issues during our stay. We were happy to have the AC, would have been to hot and humid without it. I will 100% be back to Kauai and this property. Hideaway beach is a quick walk away but beware it is a little difficult to “hike” down to the beach. Especially if it rained, it’s muddy and slippery.

Having stayed in the Princeville area many times, we looked forward to experiencing the Pu’u Poa condos we’d passed so often. And what a find! The location and views can’t be beat. This unit towards the right side of the property has the best views of Hā’ena as well as the ocean. The lanai is spacious and the condo layout is great, offering multiple areas to relax and enjoy the view. Anne is great host and has equipped the kitchen with everything you need to cook as well as all the beach chairs, masks/fins/snorkels, umbrellas, etc. to enjoy days out on the beach. As a fellow Vrbo host who does the same, it’s greatly appreciated. We’ll be back!
