What others are saying about Nihilani at Princeville townhomes
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.

My wife and I, along with another couple, stayed from January 13 until January 20 of 2010. From the time we made the reservations, the owners, Mr and Mrs Hencier and the management company, especially Kristen, made the whole process extremely easy. When we arrived at the condo, although the pictures look great, we couldn't believe how nice it was. There was a welcolme basket for us, which was a really nice touch. The condo has everything, including a very well appointed kitchen with very high end appliances that made cooking a few meals there great. The pool, spa and bbq area are like a higher end resort. Although it isn't right on the water, it is very conviently located. Princeville is a great area for anything you would want to do in Kauai. Beaches are within walking distance and all the things you expect on the mainland are close by. If you are planning a trip to Kauai, I would highly recommend unit 26a at Nihilani condos. It is perfect for 2 or 3 couples or for a family. There is plenty of space for everyone.

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!

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.

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 were so happy with the Nihilani Townhome. The place was so beautiful and so close to the pool. This condo was perfect for our family. It was so helpful that the condo had a highchair, pack n play and sand toys for your 22 month old! One less thing to stress about packing. When we come back to Kauai, we will definitely come back to Nihilani 27A!

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 ! ;-)

We are quite satisfied with our stay at Nihilani 27A. It's conveniently located for exploring north shore sites. The condo is in excellent condition, the beds are very comfortable, the kitchen well equipped. It's very spacious for the six of us (including two small children) and everyone enjoyed the stay.
We didn't use the pool or other common facility.

This was our second visit to Princeville and the beautiful Island of Kauai. This home was wonderful, perfect for our family. Clean, well set up and organized! We will travel here again!
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!

We loved staying in unit 27a at the Nihilani in Priceville. The condo was spacious and wonderfully decorated. We used the gourmet kitchen every day. The grocery store right in princeville was very convienent. The princeville hotel is a short distance from the condo and you can see stunning sunsets. The condo was very clean and easy to find. There are a lot of great beaches close by and the (queens bath) just up the road. Overall we had the best vacation in Kauai and the Nihilani felt a lot like home in paradise.

This property was great for us. First I want to say that it looks just like the pictures and is beautifully furnished. The rooms are huge and there is plenty of space to make yourself at home. And I must say it was nice having a parking garage. It's quiet and peaceful as it is tucked away from any traffic, and it is right near the shopping center which was very convenient.
Overall great stay, and would definitely recommend to anyone.

This condo was absolutely beautiful. It is in a great location. We just loved staying somewhere that felt like home and not a hotel. It had everything you would need inside the condo, plenty of room and just all around gorgeous inside. We wanted to buy one of these condos by the end of our vacation. We will definitely be back and would love to stay there 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!
