If you want to see albatrosses, this is the perfect spot! They nest on the golf course and you can see them from the balcony! We got to watch their dances and other behaviors. Cute red-crested cardinals hang out on the balcony (please resist the urge to feed them, though!) and nenes (Hawaiian geese) hang out all around the area. You can go downstairs and walk on the golf course when there are no golfers out, and catch some absolutely breathtaking views. We usually took our first cup of coffee and started our day there.
Princeville center is 5 minutes away and has groceries and restaurants. Hanalei and Kilaueua are 10 minutes away. The condo is clean and very quiet and peaceful. We didn't spend a lot of time there but it was a comfy and beautiful place to relax between adventures. Showers are nice, beds comfy. There are folding chairs and coolers you can use in the guest room bathroom closet. Lastly, Carolyn is super kind and provides tons of resources that are worth looking over when planning your trip. If you have any issues while there, she responds very quickly. Overall wonderful spot and hosts!
