Perfect for our stay
Our host Lani was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had. The place is small and cute. You can hear some traffic and the folks downstairs had small children that we could hear too. But for the most part the condo was an excellent choice for us.

Perfect Princeville Location!
My boyfriend and I booked this stay after looking at several options. It was perfect! The pictures are cute but it is better in person. Lani was so helpful. Check in was easy, everything was clean, and we had no issues. The family downstairs was so welcoming. The path behind the property to the beach was really cool! I cannot recommend this property more!

My wife loved Lani’s attentional to detail. Lani explained the property very well in the VRBO description so we knew what to expect. Very beautiful place. The ceiling fans and the bedroom cooling fan was much appreciated on two extra warm nights. the weather intimidated us from snorkeling unfortunately butLani's equipment on site had us ready. Lani also provided good local wisdom. Thanks Lani

The property was beautiful, clean, and really well-equipped. You can cook in it if you need, and there are various swimming and beach supplies. Lani, the owner, is incredible. She helps with anything you need and provides any information you might want too. She's fantastic and we had the best time in the condo. We highly recommend it and hope to be back soon!

Perfect cozy stay for our first time visiting!
Lani's place was perfect for our few day stay in Kauai. It was quaint and cozy, in a great area close to everything on the north shore, and Lani's communication and recommendations were excellent. I only wish we could have stayed longer. The multiple fans and portable water AC machine were ideal and worked amazing for hot days. The complex was beautiful and safe, and it was nice to meet area folks, and go to the weekly market just a five minute walk away. Would stay again!!

Wonderful stay, close to great areas
We truly enjoyed our stay at Lani’s condo. We arrived the same day as a wedding we were attending and Lani and Tanya were super accommodating in allowing us to check in early. The condo is spacious, has good amenities like a mini fridge, electric stovetop, kitchen ware, beach towels, and sunscreen! We felt really comfortable in the space. There is also a designated parking spot for you if you bring or rent a car. It was also very close to amazing food spots like Hanalei bread company and beautiful beaches like Anini beach. Only tip is to bring ear plugs - the birds and roosters are quite loud at night and in the early morning. Thank you Lani for a great stay!

Great spot in Princeville
Lani is a terrific host who will set you up for a great stay and then assist throughout. Location is terrific with two beautiful beaches a short drive away. The condo isn't spectacular, but it doesn't need to be. It's more than enough for two. We'll be back for sure.

Lovely stay
Simply put, great location and space for 1-3 people, especially for the price. You are in walking distance to some beaches as well as restaurants and a grocery store. Hanalei is a short 7 min drive away. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Lani was so communicative leading up to the trip and during our stay! She also provides an incredible, updated, and comprehensive guide to the island prior to your arrival, which we used to plan our trip. It was such a great resource!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lani and Sky s condo....I would definitely stay there again...they also had super nice beach chairs for our use and the location was great for a stay in the North part of Kauai...groceries and shops and great food very close at princeville shopping center.

There was nothing we didn’t like. It was everything we expected and more. We loved the Hawaiian decor and openness of the space with the high ceilings. The only thing that may have made it better (only because we were there a while) was an on site small washer/dryer.

My stay at the condo was great. Very nice and clean and supplied with everything I needed. Felt like home away from home. Quiet location with close parking. Sky was very helpful when I couldn't figure out how to work the TV remotes. The location is perfect for easy commute to Hanalei, Anini Beach, or Kapaa. I highly recommend staying at this condo and Lani and Sky were very accommodating.

About the host

Hosted by Lani Forster

Host profile image
Aloha! I am Lani and I am passionate about sharing and passing on the love I have for my island Home of Kauai to those who visit this special place. I’ve lived on Kauai for much of my life. I was born near Tunnels Beach and have always considered the North Shore of Kauai “home”. However, adventures beyond the islands, eventually brought me to the mainland and abroad. I went to school in Santa Cruz California and even got interested in colder climates for a while. Between travels abroad, I worked as an entrepreneur and in various outdoor industries for the better part of a decade, living in amazingly scenic, rural towns. One of my favorite of those towns was Jackson Hole Wyoming, where I lived for several years before moving back to Kauai. It took searching the world to ultimately realize, there’s no place like home. I truly enjoy passing on the love and reverence I have of my island home to my guests. I offer my local knowledge and recommendations in addition to providing exceptional quality accommodation and service. I've even written an extensive Kauai Guide e-book that I provide exclusively to my guests. I want to ensure that my guests have as much fun and as little worries as possible on their visits to Kauai! I love offering conscientious travelers an amazing home while they explore the Garden Island, and both my condos are thoughtfully equipped, well located and always kept clean and attended to with lots of love. I am are honored to have received such great reviews and have maintained a consistent Primer Host title with VRBO for many years. I am grateful for my guests, as they give to me just as much as I give them. Happiest of travels and lots of Aloha to you! Lani

What makes this property unique

The "Hala Hale" tastefully and efficiently equipped with everything a visitor might want or need for exploring and enjoying the North Shore of Kauai. Visitors should be able to pack light bags and not have to buy or rent things when they get here to enjoy the area. I make a concerned effort to think of the things my guests might need and provide them in my condo. I love this place and take pride in it, as it was my own home not that long ago. The walls are full of love and great memories! The condo is positioned strategically in the quietest depths of the Paniolo condo complex, farthest from any road and closest to bordering green belt. The most predominant sound you'll hear is the call of bird songs and the cooling trade winds through the trees. At night you'll hear the crickets and the waves crashing off the Anini reef. This is a quiet and peaceful unit!
