This place was AMAZING! The views from the condo were amazing, as we had perfect views of the waves and ocean straight from the common living space, and from the master bedroom. You could hear the washing of the waves throughout day and night, which was pretty awesome. We loved the location being in Princeville. In my opinion, the North Shore is a great area to stay in; even though it's pretty far from South Shore (to Lihue, probably 45 min), it's close to the Na Pali Coast (great hikes for avid hikers like us), consistent surfing (Hanalei Bay), one of my favorite little towns (Hanalai, with Kapaa being my second), and some killer food options (The Dolphin, Bar Acuda, Hanalei Bread Company, Trucking Delicious). Also, the place was exactly as pictured, and even nicer. The second bed was located on an open loft with it's own separate bedroom, which the listing does mention, but the pictures don't exactly show the openness of the loft (just a small FYI). Overall, we were super impressed of the quality of the place, and would definitely return.
A few downsides of booking the place that you can mostly eliminate by reading these recommendations: 1) You can book through Coldwell Bankers directly and not have to pay any AirBnB fees (when I found this out I emailed to see if I could cancel my AirBnB reservation for no charge and book directly and unfortunately could not, effectively having to pay approx. $350 extra in AirBnB fees and increased rates); 2) Download the unique Coldwell Bankers app that they recommend you download before you leave on vacation (this has all the checkin information on it, and in Princeville the reception is pretty spotty so it took us 15+ min to download the app before we could checkin, causing my group a bit of stress on the start of a relaxing vacation!); 3) Cleaning fees were $289, which is crazy expensive (there's no real way around this since it seemed as if alot of places charged this, but we kept our place insanely clean and shouldn't expect the fee to be more than $100).
