About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Pu'u Poa #305: 2 Bdrm/2 bath Direct Ocean & Sunset Views. Whale Watching!

This two-bedroom, two-bath unit boasts sweeping ocean views from your fully-stocked kitchen, living room, dining room, newly renovated lanai, and primary bedroom.

Pu'o Poa is the perfect location, walking distance to two uncrowded beaches and a short drive from the Princeville Shopping Center and Hanalei Beach. The Makai Golf Course is a very short drive away as well.

One of Puu Poa's best amenities is the pool on the edge of the cliff - you'll find it hard to pull yourself away from this truly epic spot. There are also pickleball courts on site!

Puu Poa community is directly adjacent to Hideaways beach trail which features amazing snorkeling in the summer months. Just across from Hideaways access is the public staircase to the beach at the new 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay. This newly renovated 5-star hotel boasts three world-class restaurants, a coffee bar, shopping, a spa, and many fantastic views.

Please note, that this home does not have central air conditioning but relies on ceiling fans and ocean breezes to cool the home.

As a guest at Pu'u Poa #305 & RE/MAX Kauai, you'll have access to Kauai's Premier Concierge Service, and we will help you build your perfect vacation.

Extraordinary Oceanfront Views

This place was outstanding! The views are amazing, of course -- even better than pictures can convey. We had everything we needed and the place was spotless. The surroundings were top-shelf. Very nice pool -- nothing over the top, just comfortable; the pool looks out over the ocean, too. All the residents, including a handful of kids, were quiet and respectful of others. We can't recommend it enough!

Great condo in wonderful location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great Condo unit in a beautiful location. Great ocean views, nice grounds and pool area (no hot tub), good access to Hideaways Beach, nice overall location. Condo is older but updated and feels very comfortable. Great patio area, furnishings good. Could use to updates in the kitchen such as new pans, new toaster, etc. but overall nice and large kitchen with views straight out toward the ocean; beautiful sunsets, felt like we lived there. The lack of air conditioning was a little bit of a challenge as it wasn’t very breezy and we definitely slept warm, even with all the fans on (some of the fans need replacing). Overall comfortable and wonderful stay in a world-class location.

The place is very convenient to Foodland and hanalei bay which we enjoyed immensely. We can't wait to come back again.

Everything We Needed

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Pu'u Poa condos are the ideal location to stay on the north shore. We had the most beautiful ocean view, a pool, and a short climb down to Hideaways Beach. #305 had absolutely everything we needed to enjoy cooking at the condo and visiting the beaches. Such a well stocked condo! The lanai could use some maintenance and lighting, but you don't notice cracked tile when you are looking at the sunset.

Fantastic Condo and Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was exactly as described. The view spectacular. Made the mistake of not taking the challenge to access the beach below the condo until the last day. It is the very best. Practically had the beach to our-self. Already missing hearing the waves and the breeze. Condo was well equipped, quite, and clean. Would/hope to come back!

Heaven

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: THIS PLACE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! The views, the accommodations themselves, and the location were all just perfect. Unlike some properties that manage to make a decent place look like a mansion, the pictures here don't do it justice. My husband and I stayed here for part of our honeymoon and we will plan any future visits around the availability of this home. We enjoyed the location to Hideaways beach and got our full share of snorkeling in. They provided fun beach supplies as well, and the kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies and pleanty of the basics for cooking. The only two things were weren't prepared for was the lack of air conditioning, which truly you do not need once the sun sets with the fans and windows open, and the washer was not working properly for our stay. Re/max went above and beyond to help us with that problem and took our laundry away to do it and brought it back within 12 hours. We could not have been happier about our stay and this place.

Lovely stay at Pu’u Poa

Our group was 2 couples at this spacious, beautiful condo with amazing views. We loved being able to walk to Hideaways Beach to snorkel just below our unit. We were able to navigate the steep descent to the beach, though anyone with physical limitations might have trouble. The ropes along the sides helped us manage. We saw some whales splashing in the distance, even in May! We made good use of the two lanais, having most meals outdoors and used the private BBQ. The pool is great and big enough to enjoy with others present. Note that there is only one portable AC in the back bedroom, that was too noisy to use. The primary bedroom temp was ok with opening the slider and using the fan. In warmer months, it could be too hot. We’d stay here again and highly recommend it.

Pu’u Poa, I’m nearly 100% sure, is the best stay on Kauai!

The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This Is the 2nd condo at Pu’u Poa in which I’ve stayed and they were both perfect. I prefer to spread out and have living space when I vacation, rather than a tiny one-room hotel option, and the Pu’u Poa condos are just homey and cozy and Oceanside heaven. Two beds, two baths, great kitchen/dining area, fantastic living room and two breathtaking lanais with the best views you can get. I saw too many whales spraying and breaching to count, watched the fog dance around the mountain and drifted to sleep hearing the waves crash at our shore. The condo was well-appointed, impeccably clean and had a sweetly-Hawaiian/island-style decor that, while a bit out-dated, was still nice, classic and understated, and invited you to just relax and enjoy your life in that precious time and space. Check in and check out was easy, communication with management was a breeze. The new hotel, 1 Hotel, opened up in 2023 and was a fantastic next door neighbor as their restaurants are gorgeous and serve great food, and literally are a 4 minute lovely walk from the condo. I was there for breakfast and dinner every day. The Pu’u Poa condos are quiet, feel very safe and are nestled in a beautiful community. I will definitely be back!

Place is amazing. Yes, a little dated, but sofas are comfy. No AC, but none needed in this unit. Lots of summer trade winds keeping things super cool at night plus lots of fans! I actually slept cold! Can’t beat waking up every morning to awesome views. And magical sunsets every evening from BOTH lanais! Made you want to cook more from the kitchen! Will def stay here again.

Great location and amenities for family vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo location was excellent. Great view and good size layout. Master bedroom was nice and the bathroom is huge. The beach chairs, boogie boards, beach towels were very appreciated, as well as the extra bedding for the pull out couch. Accessing the condo was easy and plenty of parking. Access to Hideaway Beach and the neighboring hotel beach was super convenient. We also walked to Queens Bath trail. The kitchen was nice and very clean. The owner must’ve read the comments about the pans because they appeared very new. They were great. Plenty of dishes and utensils. The unit was overall very clean. A couple improvements would be to get rid of the lounge/rocker chair in the living room. The arms felt sticky, likely due to all the humidity. The back room window did not open up, so that is a tad claustrophobic. There were fans, though. There is no exterior lights on the patios, likely due to the complex and ensuring people don’t stay outside late and bother neighbors. It was fine for us and we BBQ’d early enough, but something to be aware of. The light bulbs in the dining light and master were glaringly bright, so we just loosened 3/4 and that made it much better. I was surprised that there is no hot tub at the pool area. That seems to be standard. But I suspect this is another way of ensuring that the place doesn’t become a party complex. I would stay here again for sure. Overall very good accommodations for our family.
