The pictures and description were accurate. We enjoyed the additional space while we had our coffee and meals out in the lanai. I also liked the fact the unit is on the second floor. The place was clean and at first it was a little bit awkward doing dishes in the bathroom sink but the sink is big and deep and really we didn't use too many dishes. We made a Costco run before arriving but there is a Foodland market and restaurants about a mile away. Because of the major flooding in April we weren't able to explore the coastline after Hanalei which was one of the main reasons for staying on the North Shore. In hindsight and on our next visit to Kauai we would probably stay somewhere more centrally located as we really loved Waimea Canyon (two hours away from Princeville) or maybe split up our accommodations. Larry responded in a timely manner and we would stay at any of his places again. Kauai is a beautiful place and we did a lot in our one week trip, i.e. Hiking at Waimea Canyon, Sleeping Giant, Queen's bath, kayaking on the Wileau river and snorkeling at St Regis beach.
