The room was clean and the bathroom was a good size. Mariana made check in super easy for us even though we arrived a bit early. Having access to a coffee maker and refrigerator was nice. We also took advantage of the beach chairs that were available. As others have noted the room is extremely small, so if you are going to spend a good deal of time there, be aware that the only place to really sit is on the bed. This was not a huge issue for us since we were out and about most of the day, but it does get snug in the morning as you’re getting ready and at night while winding down. There is no tv as noted in the listing so for rainy days you may want to bring a device or book to keep you occupied. For storage there is one small open shelving unit. This would work well for one person, but also worked for my boyfriend and I although it was very cozy. Be prepared to be without any personal space if traveling with a partner. There was a small cooler available and boogie boards, as well as an outdoor shower. We saw snorkel tubes, but no masks as far as we could see. Dishes were provided and dish soap was available under the bathroom sink to wash up. Be sure to read the listing carefully. As noted, there is no washer or dryer. If you’re only staying for a couple of days this may work out just fine for you. We ended up buying a small bottle of detergent and hand washing some items since we were on the island for a full week. This was not an easy task since there wasn’t anywhere to really hang dry things, and we wished we had bought a travel drying line. There also is not a facility in Princeville for laundry. Not a big deal, but something to keep in mind if you are planning a longer stay. The bed was okay comfort wise, but if you need something super sturdy and firm, know that it is not. Location wise, Mariana’s place will work best for you if you have a car. Given the present rental car situation on the islands, we did not. The house is about a 35 minute walk to the Princeville shopping center where the bus stop is, and the walk to the shops is uphill. It was a beautiful walk, but just be prepared. We walked most days, but called a cab on the nights that we wanted to dress and go for a nice dinner at B’s, or do a grocery shop at Foodland. This is necessary if you want to stock up on water etc. Janice at the north shore cab company was super sweet and helped us with this. The house is super close to the Queen’s Bath hiking trail so be sure to take advantage of that. All of the other beaches are about a 25-35 minute walk, so bring comfortable walking shoes. We would pack our bags for the day with flip flops and wear our trail shoes to get around. Puu Poa beach is a straight shot downhill from the main road and about 25 minutes away. Hideaways Beach is about 20 minutes down that same road with a sooner turn onto the trail. The trail itself is short, but not for the faint of heart. Walking up the main road going towards the Princeville Center, you can turn left and head towards Wylie’s Beach/Anini Beach, which is about a 35-40 minute walk. Food wise, the closest place to grab food was the Makai golf course grill, which was open to the public. It was nice because they had a station to refill water bottles. Hideaways pizza pub is also about 15 minutes away. Otherwise all food requires a walk or drive to the shopping center. From the shopping center you can catch the Kauai Bus into Hanalei where there are more food/beach options, or head back to towns like Kilauea (15 min) Kapa’a (30 min), and Wailua (45-50 min). Quiet hours in the neighborhood start at 10 p.m. and you’ll notice that Princeville starts winding down way before then, basically at sunset, so it is great if you are looking for easy going evenings/nights. We did have a bit of noise coming from the teenagers of the house until 10 p.m. on some nights as they tended to hang out in the hallway and garage located right next to the studio. This only really was an issue for us on one night when we were trying to get to bed earlier than 10 for an early morning outing. I mentioned it to Mariana and it was not a problem for the rest of the trip. All in all, I will say that this room was a great value to stay in such a beautiful part of the island and so close to hubs like Hanalei and Kilauea, but will work best for you if you have a car and are traveling solo, or don’t mind sharing small places with your travel partner.
