What others are saying about Nihilani at Princeville townhomes
Nihilani 3a was a great townhome for our family. The 2 story layout was fantastic! The third bedroom with twin beds was great for our teens. The kitchen was beautiful and well stocked. I appreciated the full size washer and dryer. We thought everything and everyone we worked with in the rental was wonderful. These items truly not bother us, but if you are looking for a few minor improvements...sheets on master bed were a bit large and slid some, sofa could stand to be cleaned, and slightly larger wastebaskets in the bathrooms would be helpful. It was wonderful with an excellent location to many activities on the island. Thank you!

My husband and I stayed in 27a with another couple. It was the perfect condo for our vacation! It was so well appointed. The kitchen had everything we needed to make some great meals. We loved grilling down at the pool. The beds were so comfortable, and the showers were amazing. We were so pleased with how clean it was, and we were so thankful for the beach chairs, cooler, boogie boards, etc. We've been to Kauai several times, and this was by far the most comfortable trip because of the condo. It was the perfect place to relax after a day of adventure on the island,and the perfect place to just spend a lazy day by the pool and relaxing in the condo. We can't wait to come back!

The driving instructions from the airport to the property location were were easily understood as were the condominium and grounds rules.
The accomodations were well kept and first class as were the surrounding properties.
The entertainment system controls took a bit of getting used to. Instruction manual would have been helpeful.
I appreciate being able to check in and out without having to physically deal with an on site agent or management company.

This unit was wonderful. We've stayed in a lot of rental and time share units and this condo was the best equipped of any we've come across. It had everything we needed in the kitchen and more, the linens were high quality, the things we needed for the beach -- chairs, boogie boards, beach bags, towels -- were all there, the TV and other electronics were high end (including a blue ray DVD and sound surround system), and the owners had even provided a great selection of new Dvd's for both families and kids, as well as island guide books. It was just fabulously comfortable for the six of us (four adults, two kids) and made a great home base and place to relax after a day in the sun. The only negative was a bit of traffic noise from the road because the unit is on the outside of the development. But this really only affected the master bedroom and everything else was so great we didn't mind the noise. We would definitely stay here again!

I am very reluctant to write this review. I feel like this place is a hidden gem, and don't want anyone else to find out about it so that I can rent it again for our next visit to Kauai :)
The townhouse is large, clean, very nicely decorated, comfortable and well-stocked. The beds are comfortable, and the AC works well. Kristen at alohacondos pretty much thinks of everything you could need. Speaking of Kristen, the manager, she was very easy to work with, easy to get a hold of, and very accomodating.
The townhouse community is in a good location. Close to all the beautiful north shore sights and beaches, without being TOO far north. It IS a bit of a drive to get down to the south shore and kapaa/lihue etc, but you get used to the driving. The grounds of the community are very pretty. The pool was a great spot to hang out when we couldn't swim in the river run-off water after huge rains ("brownwater").
The only small negative of this rental that I can think of is that a couple of the rooms are a little dark (family/living room and master bedroom). I think it's because the bulbs are low-watt florescents, and I can understand the desire to conserve energy and keep electricity costs down.
Other than that, the place is perfect and I would definitely stay here again!

Kristen was super easy to work with. It made the trip that much better. First class service. I needed a late check-out and she made that work without a hitch.
The home was beautiful, clean, and well furnished. It had all the amenities you'd want. The bed in the master bedroom was incredibly comfortable. Better than my bed at home. The garage was stocked full of beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and even a skimboard. Honestly couldn't ask for more. Even the neighbor was awesome. Some of you might be stoked to find out who it is.
Location was great. Nice and quiet, the supermarket is close, Hanalei was right down the road.
Will definitely stay here again without hesitation. Nothing that I didn't like about the house. The only inconvenience was the garage remote having to be pressed about a dozen times before it actually opened or closed.
Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a relaxing vacation with nothing to ever have to worry about.

My husband and I spent a glorious vacation week in this very beautiful townhome. It is beautifully decorated and very well equipped. We had everything we needed and more. It is very well maintained and very clean. It's a great place to take a walk. When the St. Regis opens in the fall 2009, it will be fun to walk there for a drink or meal. We loved the town of Hanalei...enjoyed many restaurants, a farmer's market and a Slack Key guitar concert at the community center. We loved the one lane bridges and the relaxed atmosphere of the north shore.

This was a beautiful Condo and had so much room. We stayed there with our daughter, son-in-law, granddaughter, grandson and son. Our grandson was a year old and they accomodated us with a bed for him. The kitchen was great and just begged to be cooked in. The grounds were fantastic. We enjoyed the pool area and enjoyed meeting the individuals who lived there year around and worked on the Island. We will go back to this location if we are able to make it to Kauai.

Our stay with Aloha Condos at Nihilani 3a were the pinnacle of our 1 week stay in Kauai. We walked in to a welcome basket, and had at available to us high end utensils, modern and clean accomodations, plush towels and beach towels, an awesome master bath with jacuzzi tub and separate shower, toys, games, baby gear, beach gear -- even laundry soap! everything was thought of. It was like staying in a high end hotel, vs. a For Rent by Owner property. For a fraction of the cost we had 6 adults and one child stay comfortably!
We enjoyed watching the rooster and his family of hens every morning, and making dinner for ourselves in the evening. The location is in a great location in Princeville, just a short drive from the Princeville shopping area, beautiful beaches and hiking trails, and, in the opposite direction, the Lighthouse.
The condos are quiet, walkable, and I believe the newest development as of 2008 in Princeville. There is a small, private pool a short walk from the unit; my only wish is that the grill was not away from the property.
We'll definitely be back again!

This condo is beautiful and fully equipped especially for a family with children. We felt it had absolutely everything we needed for our 5 night stay. It is located very close to the pool which was great too. It was extremely quiet at night time. They also had all the things you will need for a day at the beach. We had no problems at all during our stay and would love to come back again. We loved the island of Kauai!

A wonderful, roomy, homey townhouse with tons of storage, a great kitchen
for cooking and plenty of hang-out space. Our family of four thought this was
great.
About 1.25 miles -- 2.5 miles roundtrip for a perfect morning walk or short
jog -- gets you down to the St. Regis entry with wonderful views of the ocean
from the lawn and bluffs. Foodland grocery is just outside the gates of the
Princeville resort for supplies and food. The town of Hanalei and the gorgeous
Hanalei Bay beach are about 5 mins. away by car.

This past August my wife and I took my mother on her dream vacation to Hawaii. We stayed in condo 27A at Nihilani at Princeville.
This condo is beautiful. It has everything from a kitchen with everything to an flat screen HDTV, perfect for watching the movies you recorded that day. It is very clean and spacious and Princeville is the perfect place to have your home base when you are staying on Kauai. This condo was the perfect place to come back and relax after a day of site seeing or playing on the beach. There are several beaches close by and great jogging/walking paths.
Our only regret is having to leave. If you are thinking about renting a place in Kauai, this is the one.

We had a great time in 27 A. It was beautifully furnished, felt very safe in a
good neighbourhood. We really felt at home instantly and it was very
relaxing. We spent only 5 nights but could have easily spent 2 weeks :-)
Although it advertized only 2 full rooms, it had indeed 2 King size bed
bedrooms plus a 3rd room with 2 single beds, so it can fit 6 very
comfortably. Bathroom in the master bedroom is really. Good quality linen
and towels, and even beach towels are supplied. There is a good HD TV with
Hifi sound and a great selection of programs. The pool and jacuzzi are quiet
and relaxing. The small shopping center at the entrance of Princeville is very
convenient and has a few restaurants (e.g. C&J's Steak & Seafood).
North of Kauai was one of our best places in Hawaii and it took minutes
from 27A to reach beautiful sandy beaches, one different each time, Hanalei
being very close with its shops and restaurants (less than 5 minutes). It took
typically 40 minutes to drive to Lihue for the helicopter tour, and less that
1h30 minutes to drive to Waimea at the other end of the island. Princeville
feels much greater than Waipuli or Poipu in my opinion, with great tropical
vegetation and the moutain right behind. So, no doubt we enjoyed 27A ! ;-)

Be sure to take advantage of the great Farmer's Markets and local produce and fish!
We were advised to purchase a book about things to do in Kauai, and it made our trip even more perfect. It contained suggestions of secluded beaches and local venues. We beached, snorkeled, hiked and Kayaked. A perfect relaxing trip!

For three nights in late February my family rented Townhome 24c and we very extremely satisfied with our experience. I was traveling with my wife, 13 month old daughter, and mother in-law. We enjoyed the large common areas and the individual bathrooms were a huge plus. Washer & dryer accommodations came in handy and multiple kitchen supplies allowed us to cook-up a feast and enjoy dinning on the balcony nightly. The swimming pool at Nihilani was superb and somewhat quiet which made it easier on my daughter and more relaxing for my wife. We enjoyed morning jogs and leisurely evening strolls on the nearby paved paths. Waling distance to the grocery store and a quick 10 minute drive to Hanalei beach made the location perfect.

Need proof we liked this place? We bought a Nihilani unit following our stay. Long time renters on the North Shore of Kauai, we decided to try Nihilani while enjoying the fantastic beaches, great hiking and world-class golf. Well laid out floor plan, excellent condition and nice pool and hot tub nearby. Outstanding service: Awake at 5:00 AM (late for a Mainland visitor)the first day, I was having trouble getting my laptop to connect to the wireless router. Not wanted to disturb anyone so early, I sent an email to Kristen requesting help. She responded immediately and was on the way with a replacement router before 8:00 AM. Enabled me to finish my work and get to Anini Beach before 10:00 AM.
