Reviewer Comments: This little cottage is definitely an experience in and of itself. It's at the end of a little pathway, extremely quiet and extremely beautiful. All of the listing data matched with our experience. The only thing that was lacking in our opinion was air conditioning. This place gets very hot and muggy. In the two weeks we stayed there it was very difficult to recover from the exhausting humidity and heat. I feel like our vacation would've been significantly better if we had the sleep we needed without feeling miserable throughout the nights. In our humble opinion his place would be unbeatable if it weren't for the lack of any kind of air conditioning. There was a mini split air conditioner on the wall but it did not work - something that should be fixed without question. Be prepared for the muggy heat if you choose to stay at this place. ##### A guest from Salt Lake City, UT ### 8/10 Good #### Gene D.

Theres only one thing I disliked. Secluded and romantic, yes, but 2br/2bth does not mean it's ideal for two couples. For best enjoyment, bring your significant other, leave your friends. Otherwise, everything here is perfect for a stay in Princeville. ##### Thomas S. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandy S. Jul 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### “The Gem” lives up to its name! For those, particularly couples, looking for a getaway from the rush and crowds of the resort scene, this is the place. It’s surrounded on three sides by forest, and you’re awakened each morning by the singing birds. It’s completely quiet and private. The dipping pool is a treasure, and really helps cool you off. The air conditioning unit didn’t work, but with the pool and fans we got used to the temperature and were pleased to have the fresh evening breeze come through the open windows. The kitchen is fully equipped and we were pleasantly surprised to find some nice-to-haves like plastic wrap. The washer-dryer unit was essential given our trips to the beach and hiking in the warmth, rain, and humidity. The master BR is a loft and open to the rest of the house; that greatly reduces privacy inside if more than one couple is sharing, but it’s necessary for air flow, and was perfect for us as one couple. It was very nice to have covered, designated parking, and to have a small, private community of just nine cottages. Perfectly quiet, which is so vital to rest and relaxation. If you’re looking for R&R, this is the place to stay! We will definitely come back again to enjoy this true gem! ##### Sandy S.

Jan 3, 2024 #### Not as expected Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pros: Good location as far as peace and quiet. It’s a freestanding unit so there’s no shared walls or anyone above you making noise. Bbq and beach/pool accessories are onsite.Fans in every room. Cons:The air conditioning is solar powered so expect it to not work about an hour before sunset. Hawaii is humid so it will get warm and muggy even in December for the first few hours at night. The air feels turbid without AC. There are nats and flies constantly within the unit. Cobwebs and dead flies are all over the place especially behind tables and floors. Geckos are hidden inside the cracks in the ceiling and even though they help with flies, you will hear them every night if you don’t mind. It is dusty around anything that’s not easily cleaned from the front surfaces. The unit is technically a two bedroom but the walls are wide open throughout so there’s no privacy between the living room and bedrooms. If you’re bringing a baby then expect to stay quiet if your baby is sensitive to noise in one of the bedrooms. The pool was nice to have but the sun never hit the pool deck in December. The step down to the pool is further than convenient. Be careful of a low spot where water doesn’t run off on the deck because it builds moss and gets slippery (small spot in front of pool). The walk down to the unit is on a steep grade and the furthest unit from the parking lot. (Groceries, luggage, etc.)The sofas were small and not very comfortable to lay down in. Conclusion:This place can be nice for some vacationers but it wasn’t what we expected. For the price we paid we thought it should have been nicer based on he description and pictures.Our second stay was far cleaner and nicer all around. And it’s was cheaper by about $50/night. If you’re looking for something with a secluded feel that’s i ##### PATRICK K. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie E.

Super secluded and felt like we were in our own world. Only negatives I would give it was there were fleas in one of the beds and when we reached out to management (twice), we never got any kind of response. Luckily there was another bed and it was just us as a couple so we switched beds. Also I wish there were clear instructions on how to maintain the pool's cleanliness. Lastly, the septic tank is close by the pool/kitchen window and will blow out some stinky water debris every few flushes! We would stay again but maybe after a couple of improvements! ##### Jill S.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had booked a place at Sealodge, then switched to the Gem. It helped us stay more isolated for noise (we couldn’t hear neighbors, and hopefully neighbors couldn’t hear our 5 year old). Place was great, clean, and had a beach trunk full of pool noodles, flippers, and snorkels. There’s more photos of the owner and their family than you’d expect, and a lot of Christian crosses, but maybe that makes guests take care of it better. Place could use a Yale code lock to avoid having to pick up and drop off keys at the rental office. The king bed was good enough, the couch feels rough to the touch- but is otherwise clean, there’s an odd stone threshold in the guest bedroom, and some gecko guano above the door frames. Overall great, would stay again. ##### Alexander S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandy and Gerry J. Mar 22, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very private cottage…a real Gem We’ve stayed at several VRBOs, and this is one of the best! The cottage is secluded, yet is located close to stores, walking paths, golf courses, and comes complete with its own dipping pool. It’s very clean and comfortable. It’s surrounded by lovely tropical forest all the way to the ocean cliffs. The kitchen is tight and the drawers packed a bit too full of kitchen items, but very doable. If we ever come back to this part of Kauai, we would choose to stay here again. Mahalo for the experience! ##### Sandy and Gerry J.

The car was seldom needed as we did our share of walking. ##### David S. Stayed 9 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sally M. Feb 17, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved our stay and will definitely come back! What a gem - we stayed in February and enjoyed waking up to the chorus of songbirds and the feel of the jungle was absolutely amazing. The toads could also be heard at night which made it feel magical. The cottage is very private and quiet surrounded by lush rainforest and very attractive and comfortable. We enjoyed the dipping pool although it was not heated but it was still warm enough to hop in.(74 degrees February) We had everything we needed and the neighborhood is stunning. Daily walks by the beautiful golf courses down towards Hanalie Bay. Cottage is very comfortable and inviting . Definitely recommend especially if you don’t like the hotel/condo experience . ##### Sally M. Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### McKenzie C.

Truly felt like a home at the end of a busy day exploring Kauai. So comfortable and has everything you need. Check in and check out was very easy. Would stay here again in a heartbeat! ##### McKenzie C. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lara K.

The house was well equipped and exactly what our family needed. Thanks for a great stay. ##### Lara K.
