So initially I was a bit nervous about 2 things I had read about this property both of which turned out great. 1- no AC... but as it turns out Princeville is very windy and there are cool breezes that come through constantly, enough to keep the apartment very comfortable.
2- I was worried about the hot tub and pool being right outside the master bedroom. With a little bluetooth speaker and a white noise app it covered the noise.
We LOVED this property. The views are amazing. The two balconies are so fun to spend time on. The loft and vaulted ceilings make it feel very spacious and airy. The master is huge and the kitchen and bathrooms are up to date.
There is hot water and good water pressure in the showers. The tub was handy for bathing our little ones.
We loved spending time in the apartment but also made use of the hot tubs and pool. My kids played on the play ground and my son and I used the work out rooms and the tennis courts.
Make sure to make use of the hammock and chairs overlooking the ocean.
They have food trucks and local stores for groceries (*check in with the concierge if you plan to shop at Foodland. They were giving out a 10% off your shopping trip at Foodland coupon when we arrived).
There was a full kitchen and I was able to make meals like I would at home. As far as spices go, the kitchen had only salt and pepper so you'll need to buy spices if you want them.
When we went (end of March beginning of April 2022) they had a nice large Coleman cooler with wheels, 4 beach chairs, 1 large beach umbrella, 4 tennis rackets, 3 tennis balls, and 3 Boogie boards that worked great. The boogie boards are good but are showing wear.
We took our own beach toys and snorkel gear and were glad we did as there weren't any available.
We were told there was no pack n play but there ended up being one in the loft closet. Not knowing this, we had brought our own.
Laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, Kleenex, paper towels, BandAids and toilet paper were provided enough for the 9 days we stayed. There was also a vacuum and broom.
There were beach towels and regular towels—however, if you plan to buy towels, I'd recommend doing it at the beginning of your stay or bringing your own because we were constantly needing to wash and dry towels to keep up with our family needs.
The couches and chairs and beds were comfortable.
We loved the location and views.
If we come back to Kauai we'd book this exact rental again. Thanks!
