Great Property
The house was very clean and beautiful. It was fully stocked with everything we needed and then some. The home itself is a 10/10!<br/><br/>We did book this location because it had a really nice community pool, but unfortunately the pool was closed for the majority of our stay. Our friends who were staying next door under a different management company received more updates regarding this issue (the closure was extended and our manager didn’t even let us know) and also received a credit back for the inconvenience (we did not). Our friends also received a lot of communication on things to do on the island and more in depth instructions. We actually relied on them more so then our manager. <br/><br/>So overall this property was so beautiful and maintained, but the management company (when compared to others) needs some work.

Aloha, we truly apologize for any inconvenience during your stay regarding the pool issue. We do appreciate this feedback as we are always looking for ways to improve & will work on improving our communication. We overall hope you were able to enjoy a Hawaiian Vacation. Mahalo!

Paradise
We had a great stay and this condo is awesome! It was VERY well equipped, clean and we loved the split-bedroom layout. It is ideal for two families. The beds were very comfortable. The location in Princeville is great. There isn’t a Mountain View from the unit, but as soon as you step out the door, you have a beautiful view! The owners were very responsive to any need we had. The only two negatives are the traffic from the road that T’s directly in front of the unit, and the foot noise if there are tenants upstairs. Other than those two things, this was GREAT!
Response from Hawaii Life Real Estate Brokers; Thursday, March 31, 2022
Thank you for your feedback. To address this issue, top quality blackout curtains have been installed. When the curtains are fully drawn across the entire window frames, they block all exterior light. We are so glad that you enjoyed all of the amenities this condo offered, and hope that your next visit to this slice of paradise will be pleasant in every respect.

Nice place for home base while on vacation
We slept and ate well in 11A, the condo was quite roomy and very comfortable for our stay. Here's a quick summary:<br/><br/>The upsides -<br/>*clean and comfortable<br/>*well appointed (from appliances to sharp steak knives)<br/>*tons of room to spread out and unpack<br/>*safe and convenient location with lots of walking/jogging accessibility<br/>*beach toys - we really enjoyed the kayak and made sure our rental vehicle could transport the goodies<br/>*water fountains across the street helped mask the traffic noise when the door was open.<br/>*pool and community BBQs located nearby<br/>*host communicated well<br/>*easy check-in/out procedures<br/><br/>The downsides -<br/>*all beach umbrellas were broken, bike tires were flat and we couldn't find a pump, snorkel gear was sandy (but we had our own). <br/>*location is adjacent to a traffic intersection and headlights come and go throughout the dark hours. We slept so good here it wasn't much of an issue, but light sleepers might not do well with it.<br/><br/>We would absolutely come back again!

Stylish & Comfortable Condo
The condo is in a great location in Princeville with a large two car garage. It is decorated very Hawaiian stylish but not over the top and it all made sense. The collection of beach equipment is fantastic but you should know the surfboards are not usable. There was only one and it was missing fins and a leash. We rented a couple of boards for our stay. We were hoping the one's with the unit would alleviate that but was probably too much to hope for. The unit was clean and had everything you needed for a wonderful stay.

Wonderful vacation condo for a family
We had a wonderful experience renting Nihilani 11A. The location was great in Princeville, just a short drive to the center and the condo was right near the pool in the complex. The condo was very clean and super well stocked with beach gear for a family- sand toys, towels, chairs, and more, and the kitchen and house was nicely stocked as well for cooking in. Everything was very comfortable and the master room was huge! Our baby pack n play fit in the master closet and worked so well!! The only issue was the two bedroom tvs didn't work properly. Really enjoyed this place and would definitely book here again though.

Wonderful!
Condo is located in a beautiful part of the island, is spacious and very well stocked! Bathroom and kitchen amenities, as well as beach bags, towels, sunscreen, band aids -- the owners have thought of it all. The pool, hot tub, and grounds are gorgeous. Each morning on our drive out of the complex, I was mesmerized by the views. It was also very close to Hanalei Bay which turned out to be our favorite beach. Just a few downsides: A/C wasn't working but we didn't need it during our stay since it was cool so we used the fans and left a few windows open. It was pretty annoying to have to restock the dishes after running the dishwasher on the morning of our departure bc things are already so hectic and that's the last thing you want to worry about. However, bc the unit is so well stocked, I will DEFINITELY return and request this unit on our next stay in Kauai.

Nice Place
This property was in a wonderful location. It was clean, however the furnishings were a little old and mismatch and the flooring has seen better days. The kitchen was supplied decently, but we have stayed in places with better supplies. We like to keep the places we stay in clean and treat them as though it is our own. The vacuum was small and did not work very well so we were forced to sweep daily. There were plenty of beach towels provided and a nice sized ice chest. The beach chairs were old and not very comfortable and the boogie board straps were broken. The beach umbrella was very nice to have. We had a plumbing issue at one point during our stay and when we contacted the property management they were very receptive and scheduled someone to take care or the problem immediately. Overall we were very happy with our stay (we were in Kauai after all). We love Nihilani as we have stayed there several times. We would recommend staying here to everyone.

Nice Condo
Overall, we had a lovely time on the island. The condo is well situated in the Princeville area, but you will have to travel to do most activities. The upstairs neighbors were quite loud and as a Category 5 hurricane approached us, there were no plans by our hosts to address contingencies--we felt very much on our own if the worst were to happen. Outside that, the condo was comfy, spacious, good amenities, a little dated with worn out sports gear, etc...Most of the other reviews are spot on.

Great unit in a great location. Large, beautiful condo with garage. Snorkling, boogie boards, surf boards and a kayak. Nice early morning walk to the St. Regis for morning coffee on the balcony with the best view anywhere. Minutes from Hanalei bay and shave ice. Only disappointment was that the pool was closed our entire visit. We have three kids and we’re looking forward to them using the pool during our downtime. When I contacted the representative to ask about the timeline for the pool, he gave me a snarky response that the kids would just have to use the ocean. Other than that, 4.8 out of 5. Would definitely go back.

30th Anniversary/Retirement/ Birthday Trip
Nihilani 11A was lovely. Clean. Had all the amenities we needed. The pool & neighborhood were beautiful, quiet and very convenient for biking, hiking, running, walking. Also convenient to all the beaches & sights we wanted to see. Princeville is our favorite location on Kauai, we were married there & have visited several times. Two things, being in a ground floor unit, you can hear the guests upstairs, and the unit is on the main road between several different resorts & condos. So you do get a bit of traffic sounds & car lights in the condo, but not a deal breaker. We were very happy with the accommodations! The living room furniture was not the most comfortable, but lovely & clean, new, I think. ( you can’t have high end furniture in a rental tho-) Again not a deal breaker, you are outside most of the time anyway.The beds were very comfortable. My husband is a Chef, so we ate in almost everyday. The kitchen was very large & had everything we needed. We felt the condo was a lot more spacious (as well as the lanai) than it appeared on the website. We were very pleased. We will definitely rent there again. Thank you! I would recommend arranging a late checkout early on, especially if you have a late flight out. We were not able to get one, as we were told the property had back to back rentals. Another option is a spa day at the Princeville Resort, maybe the management could suggest that when late checkout is not available. We truly enjoyed that too. Thank you!
