We could not have asked for a better first stay in Kauai. Princeville was the perfect spot for us, with Melissa's home being directly across the street from the hike to get to Queen's Bath. Queen's Bath was gorgeous but as it can be treacherous, Melissa was incredibly communicative about making sure we knew the conditions and were staying safe. We were also very close to many wonderful restaurants and food stands, Hanalei Bay, and a special hike that was perhaps the highlight of the trip that we would not have known about were it not for Melissa and her thoughtful guidebook directing us with tips. She graciously shared their snorkel equipment and other water gear (SUPs, etc.)
The unit itself was perfect for our needs with a gorgeous bathroom, comfortable sleeping area and living room, and well appointed mini kitchen area where we could keep things in the fridge and use the toaster oven/microwave as needed. Fans kept us comfortable in the heat and we loved sitting out on the lanai! The entire experience was wonderful and we could not have asked for better hosts who gave us complete privacy but were also very communicative and helpful! Thank you!!!
