This tidy condo is a fantastic place to enjoy the north shore of Kauai. It looks north across the manicured landscaping of the grounds and out to the unbroken Pacific Ocean horizon. The kitchenette has sufficient hardware for basic cooking (toaster oven, hot plate, microwave). An electric grill on the patio rounds out the home-cooking story. It's a short drive to the Princeville plaza, where Foodland offers convenient groceries, and a few restaurants and shops offer pretty much whatever else you might want (I picked up a straw "lifeguard hat" at Ace Hardware). Consider driving over to the upscale Kilauea Market, also - a great cafe and Poke counter in-store.
Highlights: the paved path down to Pali Ke Kua/Hideaways beaches is fantastic. You can walk down to some of the best snorkeling in all of Kauai. Access to the community pool and hot tub is also great. There are two sets of snorkeling gear provided in the unit, which we really appreciated. Our daily ritual was a walk to the beach in the morning, snorkel/swim/read, then a rinse at the outdoor shower, a dip in the pool, and return back to our unit. Perfection!
Challenges: this condo unit has neighboring units to the left, to the right, and above. The buildings aren't really soundproofed at all. During our stay there were three separate short-term groups that stayed in the unit above. You'll hear their footsteps, their conversations, their music selections. If they happen to be a loud group, you'll have to hear that, too.
Hope you enjoy this place as much as we did!
