***STAY HERE*** You won't find a better value for such a beautiful place in Kauai.
This was my third visit, second time staying in Princeville. This studio is in a gorgeous area! We loved that there was a full sized fridge so we had plenty of space for all of our food/drinks/frozen items. (We made a trip to Costco right after the airport). We used the coffee maker everyday. There were sugar cubes there for our use as well. There is a hot plate which we used several times, another plug in skillet type pan as well which we used multiple times. There was a blender, toaster, I think a rice cooker as well. We cooked at home everyday, it was awesome and definitely a money saver. There is a pool/hot tub/bbq area just steps away from the studio. You MUST bbq! The bbq's are really nice and the pool was awesome. I reget not spending more time in the pool.
Hideaway beach is my favorite place on Earth and it's just minutes away from here. The lanai (patio/deck) is amazing, it was a major added bonus. We really enjoyed spending time out there everyday and it's an awesome place to eat breakfast.
There wasn't AC which surprisingly was not an issue for us at night. You can keep the sliding door open (with the screen door shut) and there are shutters beside the bed as well as a ceiling fan. We had no issues sleeping! I struggle with sleep normally but I can honestly say I had some of the best sleep in my life here.
A couple of tips - bring your own bar soap/soap for washing hands because there was only a small dish soap. I read previous reviews very carefully so that I could be fully prepared for our stay and someone else had said there wasn't soap. I packed dish soap, hand soap, roll of paper towel, some ziplock bags, and a dish sponge (I didn't see any dish sponge for doing dishes in the studio so I'm glad I brought one) You can easily buy stuff when you are there too, but nothing beats hitting the dollar store and just packing a few things.
If you enjoy cooking as much as we do AND if you are checking in some luggage at the airport, I highly recommend packing a couple of your go-to chopping/pearing knives. The ones in the BNB are very dull, but we made it work!
I could go on and on about how awesome this place is. I've stayed in Princeville down the street at another studio and it didn't have nearly as much to offer as this place did. I can't wait to come back to Kauai and I would 100% recommend staying here.
Mahalo!
