We really enjoyed our stay at Dara's house. The house was nicely decorated in a modern, beachy, surf style, and we really appreciated amenities like beach towels, boogie boards, beach chairs, etc. We had a small issue contacting our host at check-in but I really think this was a one-off, and overall Dara was super helpful and responsive, and very willing to rectify the issue in a satisfactory way. The house is located in the Princeville resort area and there is a pool right next to the house. The beaches are a little bit farther away but it's only a few minutes to drive to Hideaways Beach and about 10-15 minutes or so to Hanalei. Because of our plans, we only stayed one night, but I would highly recommend this house for stays of three or more nights. We were a group of five friends and had plenty of space with two big beds and a sofa bed. The house would be great for two couples or a family.
