Good property

We had arranged activities all over the island for the week we stayed at Casa Aloha, and we all agreed that it was totally worth a bit of extra driving some of those days in order to retreat to such a quiet, lovely home at the end of each day, and to be so close to the most beautiful beaches and most delightful evening breezes on the island! (Everywhere else we went seemed noisy and clamorous and a bit generic-resort by comparison.) The condo is absolutely lovely and scrupulously clean, there is great attention to detail, the three adult beds are comfortable (we didn't try the kid beds), and everything works! Even the pans and the can opener are of excellent quality! And communication with the host was great from the day we booked until after we left. We would book here again in a heartbeat.

We really can’t say enough about Casa Aloha and its host Natalie. The home has everything you need and more - beach gear, fully equipped kitchen, baby gear (we didn't need that, but I can see how families would be able to pack lighter for their vacations). The beds were so comfortable - hugely appreciated after the hikes. All appliances worked flawlessly (which is unique for Kauai). Natalie was a joy to communicate with. We felt at home and enjoyed relaxing by the pool. The house is quiet and well taken care of. We cannot wait to return!

Take me back, I miss it already. We had an amazing vacation and staying at this family retreat was exceptional. Natalie was very helpful and did everything to answer my questions prior to our departure through the time of checkout. The home was very spacious for my husband and 2 children (8 and 10). We used the pool, spa and beach supplies available in the garage. We enjoyed exploring most of the island, and would recommend staying in Princeville, this condo is in the prime location. We hope to visit again soon.

PROS: This condo is clean , and the kitchen well stocked and appointed. The beach and snorkle gear, bikes and scooters in the garage were especially appreciated. The master bed and bath were comfy, TV downstairs and wifi worked great. The pool was nice. CONS: The 2nd bedroom TV did not work and the mattress was not comfortable , with a big dip in it and gave my sister and brother in law sore backs . The HOA is pretty uptight- they told our kids they were not allowed to ride bikes or scooters on the driveways. My main concern with this property is the lack of clarity in the description . this condo is listed for 7 person occupancy , however, it is actually for 6 . I realized this when I found that I was paying an additional guest fee. I attempted to work this out with owner Natalie, thinking it may be an error, and at first she said it was a VRBO fee, which it was not ( I called ) but in the end, she stated "MY base is 6 , if guests choose to bring a 7th person they have to pay the additional fee". Of course, that is her choice to set occupancy however she wants, but it is NOT clearly listed ANYWHERE in the property description. I also had to pay for AC that we did not use. Electricity costs a lot in Hawaii and I get that. I inadvertently PRE-paid for AC use , and then did not use it all. A refund of half was given. Hawaii is expensive to start with, and I expect to pay fairly for what I use/rent. I use VRBO every year, for many years, in Hawaii multiple times, and this is the first time I have come across this intentional lack of clarity and disengenous description. When I attempted to resolve the issues, it became clear it was no mistake. So-- read very carefully before you reserve. Overall-Princeville (and the condo) is next to a giant golf course, which is not the splendor of Hawaii that I was looking for. Luckily, that splendor was very nearby, Queens Bath, Anini beach and Hanalei bay are very close. There is not a natural space or sight in Kauai that is anything less then spectacular. Kauai is a special place.
