Location, location, location! Pali Ke Kua 112 is the perfect place for a couple to stay - so much better than a traditional hotel with its amount of space, location, relative privacy, and an ideal view. Hideaways and Pu'u Poa beaches are within walking distance (as long as your knees can handle the down and up hill slopes on pavement, stairs, and/or nature trails). Morning walks to the Princeville Fountain were lovely 3.5- to 4-mile round trips.
Queen's Bath is nearby, and Hanalei is a short drive. Some may have trouble without A/C, but the ceiling fans in the living and bedrooms help with circulation. The community hot tub was great and the pool is smaller with the restaurant overlooking both, but neither were crowded when we used them. Kitchen was nicely equipped, and the appliances are newer. The sofa appeared to have a pull-out bed. If stuck indoors due to weather, emerging global pandemics, etc., this property does not have a lot to do - only one puzzle, a couple of books, some small hand weights in the closet, and a few DVDs. Since wi-fi was reliable, there was plenty to occupy us while Mother Nature brought the Kona low for a few straight days and some of our activities were cancelled. Still, all we needed were our binoculars, Kindle, and Chromebook then we sat out on the lanai to take deep breaths and enjoy that view! We surfed a few times at Hanalei Bay and Hideaways and even caught a baby whale from the lanai while waiting for another beautiful sunset. The property management staff at Kauai Vacation Rentals was amicable, communicative, and innovative through the Hospitality app. A wonderful vacation spot, and we would not hesitate to book here in the future.
