Leila’s place was a convenient home base for Hanalei (10 min drive) and beaches further north (Tunnels Beach for snorkeling) and south (Anini Beach for a more local vibe). The apartment is a bit outdated but it looks like the photos with a huge bed, kitchenette, lanai and sun room. The extra touches like shampoo, conditioner and beach chairs , umbrella, etc were very helpful. This is not a place to stay if you want to cook meals. There’s a small fridge and a toaster oven and microwave to heat things up. The smart TV was nice for crashing out after a long beach day. I didn’t realize that Princeville is a community of condominiums and resort hotels! So the area definitely feels suburban and safe for walking, parking, etc. I ran into Leila while she was cleaning the unit next door (much bigger with a full size kitchen) and she was the friendliest host. She shared a few great tips and warnings about rip tides. I would recommend Leila and any of her places!
