This is a really spectacular stay, which I eagerly recommended to my family and friends upon my return from vacation. This is a large, clean space with a breathtaking view of the ocean and the mountains. We particularly enjoyed sunrises and sunsets, as the changing colors of the clouds reflected against the water, creating stripes of pink and orange against the fabulous blue. The stars and moon are clearly visible and really add ambience to your time on the big balcony with your loved ones. They even have a telescope in the AirBNB which is so fun to use for closer views of boats or the mountains or, of course, the stars. You can also look down at the grassy area in front of the condos and watch the geese and other birds walking around (they are not aggressive and appear very at ease around humans).
There is a spacious kitchen with two full sets of silverware, utensils you would need for cooking, pots pans, dishes, blender, and coffee machine. It also includes an electric stovetop and a double-door fridge with a water filtration system. There is a master bedroom and a smaller second bedroom, and two full (and very spacious!) bathrooms in the condo total. The second bedroom is peaceful and ideal for moments in which you are craving the quiet. There are a couple of pool inflatables in the closet of that room. This condo does include a washer and dryer, which was so convenient and useful. They include bottles of laundry detergent. There is an ABUNDANCE of towels (bath and beach), washcloths, etc, which was SO useful and greatly appreciated.
Both rooms have a television set and there is a large-screen TV in the living room as well.
The hosts include several board games and a set of cards to keep the kids busy.
There is no central AC but there are lots of windows which open easily for air ventilation and several fans throughout, so we felt very comfortable.
It's fun to open those windows also because you can hear the ocean! There are insect screens on every window and for the sliding door which leads to the balcony.
Included in your stay is access to the pool , which looks like it is regularly attended to and clean - and it is so cool to swim in there while looking at, and listening to, the ocean nearby.
We had great communication with the company. They called me two nights prior to my arrival to see if I had any questions and to review the instructions they had sent by email, answering any questions. They also called during our stay to make sure everything is going well and to see if you have any concerns. They are very easily reachable by phone and responsive. Overall I was very impressed with this company.
It all boils down to this:
This is a wonderful and highly recommended stay. This is not a party community, and there are set "quiet hours" - so it is IDEAL for those wanting to relax and "get away from it all", as well as those wanting privacy. We had the best week at this AirBNB and I would not have my own family stay anywhere else. Princeville is clean and full of respectful, polite people - it reminds me of a giant country club. The other people in this complex of condos are courteous and we never had any disruptions from the neighbors - in fact, we never saw any of our neighbors unless they were on their balconies. Both couples and large families (including those with children) would have an equally excellent stay here.
