Unit was a bit dated and in need of a refresh but otherwise clean and had access to a great beach, pool and hot tub!

Lovely property. Nice room. My only wish was for a countertop microwave!

The room and the resort were both beautiful! It was unfortunate that the resort was remodeling the second restaurant space and no longer uses the swim up bar. We didn’t realize until the last day that we could use the bar and order food at the hotel sharing the beach area, which we wish was communicated by check in staff earlier. Overall wonderful room with spectacular views!!! We would highly consider staying again when we return to Kauai!

We had a great time in Princeville and loved many things about the accommodations...PHENOMENAL view, great spa shower, comfy bed. We did think the ad was somewhat misleading. The unit is called a "studio". All studios that I've ever been to have full kitchens (even if they're small). This one didn't have a sink (we had to wash our dishes in the bathroom sink using hand soap) or a microwave. If the owner's closet were moved, there would be enough space for a larger kitchen. The other surprise was that the unit is part of a resort. We did enjoy the amenities of the resort (e.g., clean beach towels every day, the cart ride to the private beach, etc.) but it we didn't know in advance that there would be check-in, resort and parking fees over and above the VRBO cost. Also, given those expenses, it would have been nice to have early check-in. We arrived at 11:30 and couldn't get in to the room until 4 pm. To be fair, the front desk wouldn't allow early check-in without permission from the owner.

A very quiet property! The view from this unit is indescribably beautiful! We loved it.

Appreciate having breakfast in the lanai with the view of the waves and the bay

The most beautiful view we have ever stayed in. Could not have been better

Wake up to a breathtaking view every morning. After a rain you can see all kinds of waterfalls. The property is perfectly located on the island to take in so many different scenes/spots. There is so much to do here and so much to see.

We had an amazing stay here. We woke up to a beautiful ocean view and hawaiian geese standing outside to say hello. At night, we watched the sunset over the ocean. The unit was well appointed with towels, high quality soaps and shampoos, beach gear (umbrella, snorkel equipment, beach bag, etc), the bed was comfy, and we always felt very safe. It was nice to be on the first floor (as opposed to a higher up floor) because we were able to enjoy the grassy area outside the unit and easily walk to and from our unit from outside. There wasn't a kitchen or microwave, but there were all other kitchen amenities like glassware, plates, bowls, utensils, plastic storage containers, coffee maker, etc. I was grateful that when I forgot some items upon checking out, the owner texted me asking if I was still around and could pick them up. The only thing that would have been nice to have is a vacuum since the floor got sandy after our beach days. They did have a broom, which worked, but a vacuum would have been preferred. Anyway, we absolutely loved our first stay in Kauai and are so glad we chose to stay in Princeville and at this VRBO! Would highly highly recommend it!

I have stayed in quite a few "lock offs" at Hanalei Bay Resort and this one was my favorite by far. I loved this ground floor unit in Guava, so close to parking and the main pool, yet very private and quiet with a fabulous view. The Nene and chickens parade by daily. The lanai not only has a table and two chairs but also a very comfortable lounge chair. Inside there is also a chaise for reading or relaxing. The kitchenette is stocked extremely well. I lacked for nothing. The manager was very helpful and friendly. I'll stay again for sure.

My husband and I had a great stay, the room was clean and spacious and the king size bed was extremely comfortable. There were a few days that guests stayed in the adjoining room next door and it did get a little loud at times, but for long and not at an unreasonable hour. The view from the lanai is better than the picture! We would love to come back again.

Beautiful little place in a stunning location. Resort grounds were perfect with spectacular views. Staff were very friendly. Host was very responsive and we really appreciated the amenities available including beach and snorkel gear. Highly recommend staying at the Hanalei Bay resort as it is the perfect location in Kauai. Can’t wait to go back!

Such a lovely spot. AMAZING VIEWS. Sweet access and amenities. A pair of nosey geese will visit you every morning. A little noisy if someone is staying next door. But central Location and so worth it

awesome property with breathtaking views and nice amenities!

Our stay in Princeville was perfect. It couldn’t have been better! Thank you for sharing your condo with us.

The view is incredible and the resort was wonderful from the service, the pool and the private beach access. Our only complaint if you even call it one is that it would be awesome if the owners would put a microwave in. There is no ability to cook food at the room unless you go and use the resort grill. It’s just a little funky doing your dishes in the bathroom sink since that’s the only water source as well. We ended up eating out a lot due to this which was to be expected I suppose. We would absolutely return with a better food plan for cooking on the grills or budgeting for meals out!

Beautiful views from this unit, which is close and convenient to the parking lot, pool, and front desk. Room was as advertised and clean.

We wish we would have booked for a longer stay. The resort is what you expect Hawaii to be. Friendly staff, amazing wood carvings, beautiful landscapes and pool. The room was the perfect size for 2. We saw sunsets, rainbows, and breathtaking mountains from our porch. We had one maintenance issue that the caretaker and owners worked to remedy as fast as they could during the Memorial Day holiday. The on-site restaurant, Happy Talk, was a big hit with us too.

Nice Place to stay, very quiet

Nothing special except the amazing view and access to the beach.

Fabulous location, view and friendly staff. Loved this studio!

We loved Kaua’i and a great place to stay!

Great location, but after that, we found the actual unit to be dirty on arrival, the unit is rundown and in need of repair and it needs much better offerings from a dish perspective. Pretty sure the owner and manager don't care given they likely rent the space regardless of what shape the unit is in...Won't stay here again...Absolutely no welcome or thank you from anyone...Will stay elsewhere on our next visit!

We loved our time at this property. The view was absolutely amazing and the unit itself was very comfortable. We will definitely be back to visit! Thank you again!

Great location, perfect sunset views. Would definitely stay here again.

Loved the view! Property was very well maintained, and room was a decent size. Parking fee was $10/day, but that didn't mean you were guaranteed a spot! There is also an additional resort fee you are charged upon check-in that I don't think was included in amenities, so just a heads up. Restaurant on site was very good.

This rental had the most spectacular views of Hanalei Bay. We woke up to a beautiful double rainbow over the bay one early morning! Check in was a very easy process and everyone was so friendly. The resort was beautiful. The bathroom was very spacious and I loved how big the shower was. The only complaint I had was that the drapes were very dirty and had black spots on them and need to be cleaned or replaced. Other than that the room was clean and we were very please with the location.

Such a beautiful view from the patio! Easy check in and convenient access to parking. Would recommend!

Views were great. Property a bit worn, broken tiles on lanai. A microwave was needed. Only one restaurant that was full, other hadnt been open in 11 years. Nice walk to beach. Resort fee for basically a pool and jacuzzi, unless tennis was your thing. No service at pool. No store on property. Very friendly staff, well manicured

We loved this spot! It was very clean and it smelt amazing. The coffee station was a lifesaver and the fire pit was fun to hang out around at night. Everything was great, from the bedrooms to the back yard. Would 100% book again.

Nice place to stay overnight near Hanalei. I did not realize the resort would have extra fees at check in. We were just overnight so did not take advantage af all the resort amenities

Great view, friendly staff, and great amenities
