What more can I say about Liz and Cristy’s place that hasn’t already been said? Princeville is an amazing location that puts you close to the the action in Hanalei and the Na Pali Coast while still feeling private. It’s easy to get to, easy to find things to do nearby, and the hosts had TONS of helpful tips and advice!
The place is small but everything in Hawaii is so just prepare for that before you travel. However they had everything we needed even providing beach equipment and beach towels so we didn’t have to waste space packing any! It has a great location, and the little town of Hanalei is ten minutes down the hill and has everything you’d want and need. Two mini fridges with freezers, air conditioning, a pullout sofa and lots of other cool stuff.
I thought the value for everything was perfect. Just make sure you eat before sunset as everything local pretty much closes at 5 or so unless you have a reservation at one of the nearby restaurants. And don’t plan on doing much in the south and west of the island unless you do it all at once because you’ll drive at least an hour each way. Kapa’a isn’t a bad drive though. I could go on but you should stay here because you’ll have the perfect combination of host, value, and location! Mahalo to our hosts and when we come back next time, we know who to look up first! :-)
