Sarah was very responsive to our initial inquiry and any questions we had prior to our visit; as was her daughter, Selina, who manages the unit. The unit was very clean and offered amenities such as dishwasher and washer/dryer. Sarah left a very useful guidebook which we used for restaurants and things to do. Princeville is a walker's delight with paths all around, it has a shopping plaza within walking distance that has shops, a grocery store, and restaurants. Unfortunately Princeville is not noted for great weather. It is a very rainy area with little sun. Beaches are nice (but I personally do not like to be on the beach in the rain and without sun). There are hiking trails, beaches, walking paths, and things to do in the area and if you travel approximately 10 miles south (going toward Kapa'a) the weather is less rainy. We were disappointed in the noise level due to traffic that goes on at all hours. Princeville is made up of many separate communities. There are many units behind the Sandpiper and cars and trucks pass through. Since the windows are open (no A/C) traffic is very loud. Another disappointment was the lack of privacy while sitting on the lanai and not being able to keep the blinds open. The units are very close together and neighbors walk by, as well as we can hear and see everything also. While sitting on the lanai in the morning having our coffee we heard a neighbor in the bathroom, not a way to start the day although we laughed about it. We were out most of the day as you probably will be so the location, cleanliness, hospitality, and amenities out way the disappointments. I would not recommend for long stays but a few days are good.
