Cary's condo was a great place to call home during our stay on Kauai. The condo description was accurate and the place was professionally cleaned. The unit is in many ways like a hotel with clean towels, linens and soaps included. The location is great as it's in close proximity to lots of place where you want to spend your time. The actual Princeville area is just a big cluster of resorts but it's only a five minute drive to get out of the resort area.

When we arrived we were surprised to learn that the building was undergoing renovation (excluding Cary's unit as he's a full owner) but we only heard construction noises a few times and it wasn't a big deal. It also looked like they were almost done with the project, so shouldn't be a concern for future guests.

It was great having use of a full kitchen as we did a lot of cooking on our own and saved a lot of money this way. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots and pans, dishes and cupboard items you need for cooking, which was very nice. We also used the complex's BBQs, which are surprisingly nice as well. The pool is not as nice as it appears in the photos but it's was just fine. We didn't have interest in using any of the other amenities of the complex but everything looked fairly nice and the staff at the complex was friendly as well.

Cary was very welcoming and sent us a ton of information and emails prior to our trip. If anything there was too much information and too many emails but it was reassuring knowing Cary was such an attentive host. He was out of the country so we didn't meet in person but he made himself available by email and Skype. We didn't have any reason to contact him as everything was made clear in advance and he offered to call us upon arrival but we declined. He checked in a few times by email but we had no questions for him.

Cary is a full owner of a unit that is in a complex of timeshares. This made it a great compromise between a hotel and a private residence. Most everyone in the complex is vacationing, so you feel perfectly comfortable here as guest and you're afforded plenty of privacy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this listing to a friend.
