Diana's place in Princeville was lovely - an impeccably clean, tasteful, and comfy private room and bathroom that was perfect for an early start (about 30 minute drive with little traffic around 6:30/7 am) to the North Shore's Napali Coast trails (i.e. Kalalau, Hanakapi'ai Beach & Falls). The room is connected to Diana's home with an indoor door which is permanently locked (you can hear some slight noise from their condo through the door) but as she mentions, the sliding door entrance to the side of their main door gives you the privacy to come and go from the room as you please which is perfect. However if you do run into Diana or her husband Thomas (or family and furry dog friends) coming in or out of the condo - be happy - they had wonderful suggestions for things to do and where to eat and advice on dos and donts of the area and Diana was super responsive with suggestions and recommendations by cell text and AirBnB. They also had a bunch of beach gear (snorkel/fins) to borrow if needed - and a hose to wash off sand near the sliding door as well! As for the area, Princeville is a planned community from what I understand, so it's a bit different from a more organic 'authentic' town like Hanalei - pros and cons to that depending on what want - but there were great walking/running trails around the community with views of the mountains and it was an easy drive to eats and sights (& a five minute drive to the St. Regis' gorgeous terrace views of sunset over Hanalei Bay or the Queen's Bath (could walk sidewalks and paved walking trails too to those locations in bout 30 minutes but we were time limited so drove). There are no views from the room or condo directly but the short walk to the golf course gives views of the sea and mountains and the tiny trail down to Wyllie Beach 4 minutes from condo was a little steep but a beautiful morning walk (there were some people sleeping on beach to left of trail when you reach the bottom of the trail at the beach but it did not feel unsafe and was a quiet lovely private place to see the day brighten (you see the sunrise eventually come over the hill to your right). A restaurant at the Westin five minute walk from condo is available too. But our fave eats while there were watching sunset from the St. Regis (free valet btw too) and the amazing fish at the Dolphin Market in Hanalei (calamari best ever had). Thank you Diana!!!
