The best homebase we could have asked for on the North Shore (and we had no issues driving to the South Shore to explore either)! The masterplanned Princeville neighborhood felt very safe and secure at night, and we really enjoyed the walkability of the neighborhood (there's a great scenic outlook just a short walk away!). The space was clean as a whistle and the kitchenette worked perfectly for two people. I was impressed with how well-stocked it was; there are hot plates if you would like to cook while you're there and lots of kitchen items and tools! There are plenty of towels in the bathroom for showers and the beach, no issues with getting hot water in the shower, and even snorkel gear!
If you are a light sleeper, I would caution that sound carries from the front entryway pretty easily, but it still felt private and secluded. We didn't step out on the lanai as we were constantly out and about, but our conversation carried from inside the unit to other units when the screen door was opened, so sound travels -- it is a QUIET community, which is wonderful when you are exhausted from snorkeling and surfing, but if you're on the louder side, might require some volume adjustment on your end to accommodate the full-time residents!
Would stay here again without question, and Derek is a communicative and responsive host! We had zero issues checking in and had a wonderful time!
