The Kauai Hale is a beautiful property and was perfect for our group of 5 adults and one child. The layout of the house offers plenty of room to spread out both upstairs and down. The upstairs and downstairs decks allow outdoor access for all bedrooms. The three full baths are roomy and well equipped.
The kitchen has everything one could possibly need to prepare meals and all appliances are in good working order. The BBQ is located in the garage and needs to be rolled outside but works well and has all utensils. Also in the garage are numerous items for outdoor recreation - bikes, beach gear, coolers, insulated bags, beach chairs, games, etc. Plenty of beach towels are available.
The house has lovely indoor areas on both floors but we spent almost all our time on the beautiful covered decks. There is plenty of room on both decks to eat and lounge with comfortable furniture. The hot tub on lower deck was perfect after a long day of hiking or swimming in the ocean.
Princeville is a beautiful community and very peaceful. The house is located on a golf course providing nice views during the day and darkness at night - very quiet. There are several beautiful secluded beaches within walking distance. Best snorkeling we had was at Hideaways and plenty of turtles at Queen's Bath.
The weather in May was perfect - always a comfortable temperature. The house is wide open to the ocean breeze with fans in every room and on the decks. Did not need A/C at all. There were rain showers almost every day but nothing that kept you inside.
Check in and out were easy and hosts responded to any questions promptly. Really a great place to stay.
