We just returned from our stay in Kauai. We had an amazing time and just loved spending time relaxing at our rental. The view is incredible. The ocean breeze and the sound of the waves (and roosters) was enchanting. We were lucky enough to be there during the full moon and got some beautiful photos of the moon reflecting on the water.
We were pleased with the extras in the unit including flippers and snorkel stuff, beach towels, sand chairs, beach bag. These were all great. Just within walking distance is Lydgate Park. We were so surprised to find only a handful of people camping (there in LA you have to reserve six months in advance for a campsite!) but I guess when you live in paradise, you don’t need to go anywhere to escape. The beach was completely empty, super clean and private, and we really enjoyed playing in the waves and sunning on the beach.
We appreciated the communication with Princeville Vacation Rentals. If we needed anything, just a quick email and they’d respond within the hour. They were super helpful and accommodating. We appreciate the goodies they left for us too.
The bed is comfortable. There are louvre windows and a ceiling fan so it’s nice and cool in the evenings. The TV had more than the basic channels..we had cable and all the major providers.
The pool is nice and clean and tiled. There are a couple bbq’s in the pool area. The property is really well maintained and there are roosters and chickens (with cute baby chicks) all over the island and on the property. They do crow in the morning, but hey, we missed it when we got back home. There is a local Safeway not too far away, so we stocked up on coffee, drinks, fruit, munchies and enjoyed relaxing and watching the sweet red headed cardinals and other birds that would come by our balcony for a visit.
The location is good. Close to the airport yet far away enough not to hear planes. There were restaurants in driving distance, ABC stores in both directions, and the place itself is pretty centrally located and easy to get to places.
One thing to note, (for all you knee replacement warriors who may be reading this)know that there is no elevator (we knew that before) BUT the stairs were not bad. There are 27 of them with landings in between. Not steep.
That’s pretty much it! If you have any trepidation about this rental, don’t. We had a wonderful stay!
P.S. we didn’t know that luaus get booked ahead of time so we didn’t get to do that. They were all booked. But try the Lydgate Chocolate Farms tour. It was fun to walk around the property, learn about plants, sample tropical fruits and plenty of delicious chocolate.
