Doug has a beautiful home in a beautiful neighborhood! There were five adults in our group and we had plenty of room to relax and enjoy. The house is very spacious, very clean and kitchen stocked with enough supplies to enjoy basic cooking. The yard is private and peaceful. Although take note, if you like to sleep in you may be out of luck. The neighborhood roosters like to start crowing at 5 am, which woke up all the other birds:) We loved the Princeville area. It is a quick 2-minute walk to the trailhead for Queen's bath. I would not recommend the steep, rooted hike down for kids. We absolutely loved Hideaway's beach. It is about a 20-minute walk from the rental...a bit long in the hot sun, but doable. We rode the two beach bikes one day and one day dropped off four of us, drove back to the house and rode the bike back (there are only about 10 parking spots and it fills up fast). It is also a steep rooted hike down to this secluded beach, but so worth it - gorgeous blue waters with awesome snorkeling! We also enjoyed the quick 10-minute drive into Hanalei for smoothies, pizza and shave ice. If you are interested in seeing the Waimea Canyon, be prepared for a 2.5 to 3-hour drive. It was a long drive but loved seeing the rest of the island (esp. Poipu Beach and sea turtles) and the Canyon is spectacular. My son had hoped to hike more, but the drive was just too far. Even though, if we had to choose which area to stay in, we would still choose the Princeville area. I would definitely​ recommend Doug's home!
