We had such a great time in Princeville staying at Nathalie's place! As a returning visitor to Kauai it was nice to have a landing point at a north point of the island. We spent a lot more time in Hanalei and seeing the beautiful sights but nothing was more than and hour to an hour-half to do on the complete other side of the island. There was a close grocery store and plenty of farm stands along the way to Princeville to grab food for cooking at your place. The cooler, beach umbrella and chairs were a nice touch even though it rained most of our time there. But the nice thing about the island is that if it is raining, wait or drive 20 minutes and you can find the sun! Cheers!
