Felt right at home in Kauai - would stay again

We stayed 5 nights (Nov. 4-8) at Kahuna Puamana 25A. We have stayed in many rentals over the years, and consider ourselves tough, but not snooty, reviewers. With 10 being perfect, our rating of 9 means nearly perfect. We agree with the comments of many previous reviewers that gave high ratings. The more one knows in advance (e.g., the age of the unit), the better are one’s expectations. We much prefer a “local” look and feel wherever we stay, and 25A was ideal for us. Our experience was wonderful and we would stay here again. Minor matters included none of the air conditioner filters being clean, kitchen window vane open/close mechanism needing repair, and a beach chair damaged by rust corrosion. With two vehicles (one with disability placard), parking was paramount for us, yet we were never able to get a clear understanding of what parking options were available beyond the one assigned parking space. The best we knew from property management was some visitor spaces at the nearby pool, and no placard spaces “by the pool or anywhere else in the parking lot.” Fortunately this information was not fully accurate. Upon arrival we learned there were visitor spaces near the 4 spaces allocated for Building 25, and there was a placard space at the pool, and one further away near Building 18. We strongly recommend (1) the Puamana Kauai map of the buildings be updated to show the location of placard spaces, (2) the VRBO website for 25A be updated to clearly state the renter’s parking space is any one of 4 parking spaces allocated and marked for Building 25, and (3) the VRBO website for 25A also be updated to clearly state there are visitor parking spaces along the roadway leading to Building 25. This is basic, convenient information that should be available in advance rather than through discovery or inquiry with owner or property management.

Great Stay

The Punamana 25A was a great location for anyone who wants to stay in a non-resort setting. In the condo, you will find all the amenities needed for cooking (if you so wish). There is a Foodland that is a 4-minute drive from this location. Everything else was very nice & clean. However, if you want someplace nice & quiet, this might not be best for you. The neighbors were boisterous with their children. However, I didn't mind it. All in all, I would stay here again if I had to. A++

The property was very clean and easy to get.

The place was equipped and clean. The apartment is a little bit old but it’s definitely worth the price. Good location too :)

Comfortable and Great Location

This was our 4th time visiting Kauai in a 2 year span and this place was perfect. The beds were comfortable, it was spacious, the AC was great since we were there in August, and the location was fantastic. I would absolutely stay here again.

Great Stay in Princeville

We had a wonderful stay at the vacation rental. The layout was excellent. The place was clean and had a pack and play available. The location was central to our areas of interest. The property had a pool. Customer service was excellent when we needed assistance. I would recommend this place and stay here again in the future.

So homey and comfortable

Our family had a great stay here. There were four parking spots for building 25 residents, and you can park for free in one of those four designated spots. We really appreciated the thoughtful, homey touches like the stacks of Kauai guidebooks, decorative pieces, tea bags, coffee, and all the cooking essentials in the kitchen, and large drying rack in the back for our towels and swimsuits. It was extremely clean and roomy. Plenty of towels and beach towels. Wi-fi worked well for us. It was very convenient to have the washer and dryer in the unit. I contacted the owner ahead of time and was informed they don’t provide laundry detergent; however, previous guests may leave some behind which is the case for us. They only provide starter shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in each of the bathrooms, so if you are staying longer than a couple of days, you should consider bringing your own or plan to buy some locally. We also took full advantage of the lanai closet stuffed to the brim with snorkels, fins, three beach chairs, a beach umbrella, water shoes, coolers, and pool noodles. The only downside was that there weren’t a lot of restaurant options nearby that were open when we needed to get dinner between 5-7pm. The Foodland in the Princeville Shopping Center right by the entrance to Princeville was nice, but we had better luck driving further west to the cute tourist town of Hanalei to kayak and paddle-board on the Hanalei River, which ended up being one of our favorite activities in Kauai. Anini Beach near the rental was very peaceful and would be a great place to bring a packed lunch. All in all, we had a wonderful stay here.

A Quiet Place in Paradise

The condo was excellent. Roomy, quiet, near many wonderful sites, friendly neighbors.

December stay

We enjoyed our stay. The staff were very helpful and provided a new sleeping air mattress and beach chair when requested. We would stay again. Next to a golf course. We brought our telescope and used it on the edge of the golf course at night. Excellent night sky viewing. Unit had boogie boards, beach chairs, beach towels and snorkel equipment.

Better Than Home

This is a beautiful, comfortable, and well maintained condo in the middle of Princeville. The surrounding landscaping is lush and creates a feeling of privacy both inside of the unit and outside on the two cozy lanais. Everything is well stocked all the way from the linens to the beach gear stored in the outside cupboard. If you want to go snorkeling, boogie boarding, or just sit in a handy sand chair at the beach, you are covered. The price for our stay was great! I would most definitely rent this property again.
