This house is well situated in the Princeville community. The instructions for arrival were detailed and a link was provided to Google Maps to ease the drive. Irina was really quick and efficient in accepting our reservation and she kept us informed on a frequent basis of information pertaining to our stay.

We enjoyed staying here very much. Although we were only two persons, this house would easily accommodate a group of 6 (with some sleeping in separate beds) and even more if someone sleeps on the sofa. And everything was very clean and organized and comfortable.

There were all of the amenities for preparing your own meals (if desired) but we actually ate out in restaurants as we were on the last leg of our honeymoon and wanted to enjoy the local cuisine. (By the way...don't eat at CJ's restaurant at the entrance to the Princeville area. Terrible food and way overpriced. That was the only disappointment of the entire trip.)

Although this is not the host's fault, the temperature in Kauai has been hitting record highs in 2015. Therefore the house was really hot when we arrived and there were electric fans in most of the rooms and windows. We surely missed air conditioning as we did not sleep well in the 80 degree bedroom upstairs and the extra noise of the fans didn't help. Moving the fans plus closing all of the windows took an extra 5 minutes each morning and then reverse in the evening to set them into the windows again. I suppose that this neighborhood is quite safe and therefore we could have left the windows unlocked and fans going during the day. We just felt uncomfortable doing that with our valuables inside.

Do yourself a favor and use the local (Princeville and Hanalei) catamaran company and helicopter company for your tours. No need to drive all of the way to the south of the island (over 1 hour drive) to take a catamaran or helicopter. We used Captain Sundown for our catamaran and snorkeling on the Na Pali Coast. They are a family owned business and take fewer passengers than the big catamarans which operate out of the south (or cattlemarans as we saw from our perspective). We used Sunshine helicopters which flies from the Princeville airport (it costs about $30 more per person than flying from Lihue airport, but worth it for saving drive time).

I would highly recommend this lovely house and the excellent coordination and communication of the owner.
