We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Nihilani 9C. The space was very well appointed and was the perfect size for four adults and two young children. Unfortunately, the complex is very restrictive towards any noise, as demonstrated by the numerous signs around property that restrict children from being children. While the rules say "no screaming or yelling" at the pool, the property "police" seemed to interpret the rules to mean "no children". Our kids were very well behaved and we were the only people using the pool one morning when an elderly couple came down to the pool and treated our family like we were in the wrong place. The woman stood at the edge of the pool and scowled at us for 5 minutes without saying anything. She then spouted off to her husband about our group at a volume we could hear, but would not address us directly. Fortunately, she then stormed out of the pool area. All six of the people in our party, including the toddlers are very well traveled. As a group, we could not come up with another experience in our travels where we were treated so poorly. I would recommend this property to someone without children, but there are plenty of other places to go on Kauai that welcome children with open arms.

The house was very new, very well equipped, I should have nothing to complain about. We really had a good time. If anybody is seeking for the trip to Kauai, I would strongly reccommend Nihilani 9C!

Laurel helped us book our vacation and it was great. We loved the unit and hope to return next year.

This is by far one of the best vacation rentals we have ever stayed in ... from the moment we walked through the door, we knew it was going to be great! The unit is brand new, the decor is soothing to the eye, everything is clean, every room was bright and airy and the icing on the cake ... central a/c! The swimming pool and hot tub are also fabulous. You folks at VCA are also wonderful to work with (especially Cynthia and Laurel) and whenever we had a question while in the unit, Liz was very prompt about responding. We had amazing weather every single day and like they say, "Life is a Beach!" Our fave ... Ke'e Beach because of the sandy bottom and good snorkeling ... great for kids! Tip: Go early in the morning because parking is very limited. Other kid friendly beaches: 'Anini ... halfway out to reef and my 9 yr. old son was still in his depth (however very rocky bottom so reef shoes a must!), great for snorkeling also. Hanalai and Lumaha'i Beaches are also must visits. If we had more time, we would have like to visit Secret Beach and go hiking on the Kalalau Trail. Other fun things we did: horseback riding at Princeville Ranch (10 minutes down the road) and a visit to the Kilauea Lighthouse and grounds. Some "food tips" ... to get most value we ate lunch out and dinner in the unit. Best full-service restaurant: Bouchons over at Ching Young Village in Hanelei. Best self-service: Polynesian Cafe ($5 for lunch = great deal!). Our fave grocery is Foodland at Princeville Center. Be sure to sign up for the Maika'i card to get best prices. Their deli is amazing and great for dinner items. Next time we return to Princeville, we look forward to staying in Nihilani 9C again. So to future guests, please take good care of this unit and keep it nice so we can all return & enjoy. Thank you Gerald and Gloria for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!

Comment by Owner/Manager:

Mahalo for your nice comments!

We enjoyed the new, large and just great appartement with very modern kitchen appliances (microwave and oven). The service we received was great. As we had questions how to use the washmachine, half hour later somebody was in our apartement to explain it to us. The pool ist also great with beautyful palmtrees and cascading waterfall into the pool. The apartment is very close to Queensbath and hidden beach and only a couple of minutes of drive away from the gorges Tunnels-Beach (a must for snorkeling). We can highly recommend the Nihilani 9C.

The house was a pleasant surprise. Spacious perfect for family. Quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed going to the pool and jacuzzi after a long day of sight seeing. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family.
