Incredible Kauai getaway!

Plantation at Princeville 1221 is a gem just a short walk from the luxury St. Regis Princeville and postcard snapshot Hanalei Bay. Amenities of a top-notch resort but with a more relaxed feel, the condo is immaculately kept with fully stocked kitchen, laundry and bathrooms, upscale decor and furniture allowing for a relaxed Kauai stay at a reasonable price, especially given the high price of food and dining on the island. This is a gem especially for families that want a getaway in resort surroundings (upscale furniture, relaxed north shore address, large Roman tub and romantic master suite) yet desiring the comforts of home-- laundry, kitchen, lanai/enclosed patio, pool/barbecue area, wi-fi, etc. The condo is essentially new with very little obvious wear and obvious pride in ownership is evident in the surroundings and amenities inside. There are running trails leading to the waterfront and St. Regis resort (along the golf course) and Princeville shopping area/grocery store is a very short drive (about 3 minutes) or leisurely walk away. The condo was easy to access and the management company very helpful and accessible throughout our stay. Great location for a drive to the end of the road along the north shore. New to a condo vacation experience as we were? This is the one to try as you will come away with a fabulous vacation!

Plantation at Princeville Condo 1221 - WONDERFUL!!

We surely enjoyed our stay at the Plantation. A week flies by so quickly!! Very
comfortable accommodations in every way. An item we saw for improvement
would be another grill by the pool. There was a line every evening to use the
one grill. A couple nights we ended up sharing it with another party. Hard to
cook your meat as you like with someone else always opening up the grill.
Also the man who lives under 1221 was not the most pleasant person. We just
smiled at him when he complained of sand falling from our shoes off the steps
onto his stuff. You live on an island for cryin' out loud. And, he complained
that we were shaking the light fixtures as we walked or ran across the floor.
Guess that goes with having someone live above you as we were not loud or
rowdy in any way. Kristen is great!! Informed us well of the tsunami. Was
gracious in allowing us a late check out as it worked out well with the
incoming guests arriving after us. The condo is nicely decorated. The lanai is
a super spot for kicking back and relaxing for hours. No regrets in choosing
the Plantation at Princeville Condo 1221.

My husband and our two kids (3 & 5) loved our stay Kauai. Our flight arrived late in the evening, and it was a pleasure unlocking the door and walking into the cool, welcoming and spotless condo.
Amenities were more than expected and although we didn't need them, I was impressed to see there was plenty of infant/baby equipment stored. The kids made good use of the beach items in the garage too!
The location was perfect for us. We had family staying at the hotel down the street. Foodland was only minutes away! It was also an easy drive up to Hanalei, or down to Kilauea or even Kapa'a. Anini beach was a great place to take the kids and also nearby.
We loved our stay in the condo, and would have no problems booking again. The only "issue" we had was the fact that there wasn't the best sound proofing between the top and bottom floors of the condos. So the people below us could hear our kids playing above them. They were polite in their request to try to keep them from running around, but that wasn't really the problem. They were not overly loud and were not running around - there just wasn't the best sound insulation between the suites. Something to keep in mind if you are travelling with young children.

This is our second time at this location. I'm sure there other nice condo's in this complex however, we feel this is the nicest with the best location. Unit 1221 overlooks the pool with the soothing sound of the pool waterfall plus, it has a huge spa which many other locations do not have. The covered lanai is great when it rains and you can enjoy the rain on the comfy chairs pictured on the web site. After a long day at the beach it's nice to come back and relax at such a nice condo. The condo has very nice furnishings and the master bed is very comfortable. We'll be back.

Great Value on a Modern (and Very, Clean) Vacation Home

This was our 3rd trip to Kauai. We've also been to Maui, Oahu, Lanai and the Big Island. If my parents had not been poor immigrants; if they had left me a big pile of money, I would move to Kauai and live there until I die. But I digress....
Aloha experience: Kristen is a very warm and welcoming reservations hostess, providing superior service through our stay. Special requests for grand-baby support (e.g., high chair, play pen) were cheerfully met. She also provided thorough info about our accommodations. Upon arrival, we were touched to find a thoughtful "welcome basket" containing chocolate covered and roasted macadamia nuts, a beach bag, Hawaiian coffee and potato chips, and several other items.
Accommodations: very nice, modern, and spacious; a quiet location on the very best part of Kauai. Well maintained and clean. Many major amenities provided which, in our experience, are not always found in rentals in Hawaii: free internet, garage, etc. Also, many smaller items were stocked in the unit, like plastic wrap, aluminum foil, a handful of spices, food storage containers, an extensive collection of dishes, bakeware and cookware (we actually baked bread while there - OK, over the top!), boogie boards, beach chairs, beach towels, etc. We saved a bundle by not having to buy (or haul) these items! The appliances are nice: side-by-side fridge/freezer with ice & water dispenser, full sized oven/stove and microwave, quality coffee maker, toaster and blender, dishwasher, etc.
The Princeville location is absolutely wonderful! If you've been to Maui, Princeville is a lot like Wailea - the upscale side of Maui - because it feels more like a community than a tourist spot. A few minutes down the road is the charming and laid-back village of Hanalei. For restaurants, we recommend Kalypso, Bar-Acuda, and Bubba's. (And the Hanalei Bay Resort has a killer loco-mocos for b-fast.)
P.S. If Hanalei Bay is flat, try surfing at the Rock Quarry, about 15 minutes north.

We found the place to very comfortable and hospitable. The Aloha Condos manager was excellent. We had slow draining baths and she was able to rectify the problem even on Sunday. The condo was well equiped. It even had ice chests for our daily excursions. Beach chairs and boggie boards came in handy as well. The complex was well managed...the pool area is well maintained. We found the complex to be quite relaxing. The only thing we noticed is that we wish it had more AC ducts to provide better/even distribution. Though it was very minor and not many of us complained. We really enjoy our vacation and the accommodation is a big part of it. We highly recommend this to anyone.

The condo and facilities were faboulous. Beautifully maintained and appointed with everything that a couple or family could need. They provided everything from trash bags to laundry soap for the first couple of washes. Kristen is a delight to work with and gets right back to you if you have questions or concerns.
The location is quiet and peaceful. In the evenings take time to stroll to different areas throughout the Princeville neighborhood to watch breath taking sunsets. Sit out on the Lani and enjoy the sound of the pools tranquil waterfall and the cool breeze. But be careful.... I can guarantee that you will catch yourself drifting off to sleep before you know it. I can't recommend this place enough. Great people, wonderful location and facilities that have all the conviences of home. Maybe that's why they call it paradise.

The condo was located in a beautiful place, with a beautiful view and was decorated wonderfully. Even as spectacular as Kauai is, we always looked forward to returning to the condo. It feels like a home, a big kitchen with everything you need to make anything from breakfast to dinner, the beds are very comfortable, bathrooms are large & include hair dryers that actually work great (a plus not to have to pack). It was also very clean (complaints others had at the same location). The patio is large with lots of seating. The pool is very nice with large bbq's to grill. We were there for a wedding and can't wait to return with my entire family. The price of the condo was amazing too, we had no idea it was going to be as great as it was. I have worked on 5 star hotels for a long time and this was just as good. I love being able to cook our own food with the fish markets so close. The condo is located in beautiful scenery and i loved taking early morning walks. In the garage there are lots of beach toys, coolers, chairs and even boogie boards. I highly recommend THIS particular condo, all our other friends were very jealous (they were on the same property). You will not be disappointed!

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and we could not have
been happier. Our stay was care free. The condo had everything we
possibly needed. Every aspect of the condo made us very comfortable.
The layout was spacious and the veranda was the perfect place to cap
off each evening.
It's the first time we stayed on this side of the island and we loved it.
We were in the heart of Princeville and if we wanted, we could take a
short drive north into Hanalei. We had a wonderful vacation and we
look forward to returning here again.

We had a perfect vacation on Kauai and staying in this beautiful condo was a big part of it! Anything that we could possibly need was in the condo, the amenities were exceptional. This condo was perfect - clean, beautiful and comfortable! After a day exploring this amazing island, it was nice to be able to come back to this condo - either soak in the hot tub or sit on the comfy lanai. Aloha condos was great to work with, it was nice to know that Kristen was available to assist if anything may have come up! (Nothing did, of course!) Kauai is my favorite place, I love this island! I HIGHLY recommend this condo for your stay, you will not be disappointed!!

This was my first 'condo rental' experience, and I can't imagine a better first time. When I walked in the door, I was ecstatic to find that it looked exactly as it did in the on-line pictures; and all the rooms were in pristine condition. It also had the best supplied kitchen I've ever seen. Not only did it have a sensible variety of dishes, knives and pans, but it had things like plastic wrap. That's just brilliant!
We had 6 people in our group ranging from my 8 year old son to my 88 year old mother, and everyone loved the condo. My boy loved the flat panel TV/cable, and my mom loved the comfortable seating and 'flat' living space.
If we return to Kawaii, I wouldn't hesitate to stay at this condo again.

We stayed in this unit with 2 other adults for a wedding of some dear friends, making it 4 of us in 3 rooms. We were lucky enough to get the master- and it was FANTASTIC! I wish I had a master bath in my house like this unit! So tastefully done in tile and beautiful fixtures, and the linen and bedding was so nice, I went right out and bought new linen for my vacation rental on Maui!!!! The owners really went the extra mile with upgraded furnishings, window coverings, appliances and wireless internet too. It was spacious, comfortable, and really felt like a true 'home' base. Why this unit even has a GARGAGE!!! I usually pine for an oceanview, but with the upgraded features of this unit and the lovely garden view, I really did not miss seeing the ocean, we just enjoyed it more when we headed down to the beach, which ws not far away at all...and stayed a bit longer... and once we got home, we flopped into our luxury bedding and felt like home. MAHALO nui LAO for creating such a nice space, for such an affordable price. Oh and by the way, the local on island agent was wonderful too, she stopped by personally and helped us sort out a few things we needed in very short order.

We had a wonderful time and the condo was fantastic. We are rather picky and were worried about how nice it would be once we arrived. But, it was exactly like the website showed; beautiful furnishings, clean everywhere, and a rather large lanai to lounge on after a long day at the beach. Princeville is so beautiful and this condo was equally beautiful! We would definitely stay there again.

We had a exceptional time in Kauai! This property was BEAUTIFUL/COMFORTABLE/CLEAN. It was such a great choice. I HIGHLY recommend it. It was nice to be able to have the amenities of home but still feel like you were on vacation. Aloha Condos was a pleasure to work with and especially Kristen the property manager. What a pleasure to work with such professional people. The chairs on the patio are as comfortable as they look in the photo. What a joy it was to come back to this condo after a long day sightseeing or a day at the beach. Overall we had a fantastic vacation and look forward to coming back again and again and using this same property.

All in all it was a nice unit, however the amenities in a couple of other units I visited while there were better. The dining room table only sat 4 people and the occupancy was 6 so we could not sit and eat together. The living room furniture was more comfortable in the other units I visited (2 rentals and 1 owner occupied). The tv remote was absolutely ridiculous to operate, but in Hawaii tv is not high priority (except the World Cup was on).

Thank you for your candid review.
I only wish that you had called to let us know about the sheets. We did not realize the twin sheets had marker stains on them and we have since replaced them. As for the towels: we set out two bath towels for each stated guest on the reservation.
Vacation rentals are able to offer better prices than hotels because we do not offer daily maid service. I hope you were able to make use of the full size washer/dryer in the unit so you had fresh towels all week.
