Hello,

Going to Kauai in early October for 1 week and would love recs for a condo. Ideally, want to be on or near the beach, with a BBQ.

Anyone stay at the Sunset Panorama Penthouse at Hanalei Bay Resort in Princeville?

Willing to spend the cash to get something lovely since it will be our honeymoon.

Thanks in advance!

Check out this unit at Pu'a Poa in Princeville. We stayed here two years ago and were totally impressed with the unit and its location. The owners were great to deal with. Everything in the unit was perfect.

Check out www.vrbo.com and look into private rentals as well. You can save yorself booking fees and/or the 11% tax.

We rented a cottage at Anini Beach that was awesome and right on the beach....way better than we expected.

However, we'll be at Hanalei Bay ourselves for all future trips to Kauai. I loved that area and it's beaches...

We have many condo projects here in Princeville, but all of them are perched on our bluff. Great views, but you'll be hiking down to the beach. If that's okay with you, I'd suggest:

Pu`u Poa (million dollar condos, next to Princeville Hotel):

Pali Ke Kua (great views, smallish complex):

If you want a condo _on_ the beach on the north shore, the only one is Hanalei Colony Resort, up the road in Ha`ena:

Thank you very much--I will look in to all of your suggestions!

Pali Ke Kua units are very nice
