It is light, it is breezy, it is spacious, it has a fantastically well equipped kitchen, and the location was just what we were looking for: really peaceful in the Northeast of the island. It's a short walk down a path to the local beach, from which you can walk around to Anini beach quite easily. And Hanalei bay is a short drive away, no more than 15 minutes at the relaxed Kauai driving pace. We slept really well in the big upstairs bed and just wished we could have stayed much longer. In September when we visited Hanalei bay was pretty flat and I enjoyed swimming across the Bay most days. The local beach and adjacent Anini also very agreeable for swimming, and we went to Donkey and Kahili Beaches further southeast for waves and a great surfing lesson. If you're looking for a peaceful base in Princeville and you enjoy cooking this is a great place! There is also a thorough selection of local guide books, which is helpful, so much beauty and wonder to explore on Kauai!
