This was our first time staying in the north side of Kauai in Princeville, and this place was perfect for our family of four (mom, dad, two teenage girls-13/15)
The GREAT:
*AWESOME location for exploring the north shore. For the hearty, or those who just love to walk, you can get to the main (re: only) shopping center in Princeviile within a 20 min walk on the very convenient paved walkway in front of your condo.
*The aforementioned shopping center has everything you need...The main grocery store, Foodland, which has great customer service, decent prices for the really well stocked supplies available, and a really good deli, esp the poke! Solid restaurant choices, from trendy/star Todd Rundgren's place Tiki Iniki, to a really sweet and yummy takeout Thai/Chinese Lotus Garden, and a great Shave Ice shop (next to Foodland), and the Spot, a happening breakfast/brunch spot. It even has a post office, library, etc. Like a Main street minus the actual street!
*Syndey is an EXCELLENT host. We had a couple minor issues/questions, and girlfriend was on it, responding w/in the hour, which I think is always the sign of a great host. After fixing the issues, she also had her local manager check-in w/ us to make sure all was good.
*Her description is accurate on supplies. We were able to do many activities- snorkel, boogie board, pool, beach with alll the supplies in the condo.
*Place is great set-up for kids upstairs in the loft, parents/adults downstairs
*Lanai was sweet, with lovely view of golf course. Fun to have coffee and/or cocktails and stare out at the mountains beyond the golf course.
*LOVED the amenties-dishwasher and washer/dryer much appreciated and loved.
The not-so-great but managable:
*Like Syndey describes and is upfront about, the condo is on the main road, so there is some road noise to deal with...but it was manageable
*The place is super functional, so don't expect super glam, but it has everything you likely need for your stay.
Overall, this place is a GREAT value for what you get in amenities, location, space, etc!
Thanks for the visit!
