if you're looking to visit Kauai and need a place to stay, I HIGHLY recommend booking with Matthew and staying at his lovely home. Our stay from start to finish was absolutely stress-free. Matthew made it so easy and made all the accommodations needed to make sure my family had a pleasant time on the island. He was always one call away any time we needed anything or had questions about the property.
We were concerned at first with the location being in Princeville since we were in town for my brother's wedding in Poipu, but it ended up working out for the better after we saw how crowded Poipu and the neighboring towns were. The location is in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood with a shopping center 5 minutes away that had a grocery store (Foodland!) and other smaller shops. Hanalei was maybe a 10-15 minute drive and had all of the restaurants, souvenir stores, and other quirky shops. Even if you're thinking of spending majority of your time on the south or west side of the island, the drive to get there from Princeville is so scenic that you won't even realize the commute (maybe 45 min to an 1 hour depending on where you're going).
Simply put, Matthew is an amazing host and his home is absolutely stunning. We will definitely be looking to book with him again when we come back to the island!
